35 years after the shocking murder of three teens, the infamous “Sweet Sixteen Killer“ returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim. 17-year-old Jamie (Kiernan Shipka) ignores her overprotective mom’s (Julie Bowen) warning and comes face to face with the masked maniac and on the run for her life, accidentally time travels back to 1987, the year of the original killings. Forced to navigate the unfamiliar and outrageous culture of the 1980s, Jamie teams up with her teen mom (Olivia Holt) to take down the killer once and for all before she’s stuck in the past forever.

Nahnatchka Khan discusses Totally Killer
"It's Back to the
Future, but with a serial killer twist, and getting to go back in time and do some of those kills, eighties-style, I thought it was so smart and clever. And I knew I wanted to bring in the sort of true crime craze that's been going on, where people would have dedicated podcasts to the Sweet Sixteen Killer and crime timelines."
"The movie is a fun rollercoaster for everybody"
"It's communal, something that's fun to experience with friends, family, however you watch."
"There's something for everybody in there, it's a good time. Hopefully, people enjoy this because we definitely enjoyed making it."
Jason Blum discusses Totally Killer
"The time travel element makes this unique and really fun"
"There’s 80s easter eggs like the fashion and music in the movie for people like me who lived through those years, but also for that generation who have seen the John Hughes movies, and movies like Heathers, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Back to the Future or watched them with their parents.
Kiernan Shipka discusses Totally Killer
"The script was so fun, vibrant and lively, kind of that popcorn candy-type of movie where you want to be strapped in and attached to these characters"
"Jamie's a modern teenager, but also flawed and not thinking about the big picture of her life quite yet. She's smart but spends too much time on her phone, listens to a ton of music, but is in that floaty sort of space in her life where she's not thinking about things on a grand scale, and then this tragic, life-altering thing happens. I really loved that she has a real arc and awakening throughout the movie as to what really matters."
Kelcey Mawema discusses Totally Killer
"I loved the way they wrote Amelia"
"She's a science nerd but she's cool, not a stereotype. She's a really good friend too, selfless. I was the biology kid in school, so I had a little me in there for sure."

Boston Strangler 20th Century Studios, Scott Free Productions, LuckyChap Entertainment Hulu Release date March 17, 2023 Description Loretta McLaughlin was the reporter who broke the story of the Boston Strangler. Along with reporter Jean Cole, McLaughlin challenged the sexism of the era, pursuing the story at personal risk and uncovering corruption that cast doubt on the identity of the strangler. #whatonwhatsgood Express Review The Boston Strangler murdered 13 women in the Boston, Massachusetts area in the 1960s. The Boston Strangler movie follows Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley) and fellow reporter Jean Cole (Carrie Coon) who are trying to get the story out about who is doing these crimes. Unfortunately, they are met with many challenges from men in order to tell their narrative. Boston Strangler is a decent film. I like the pairing of Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon.

Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world. I don't think anyone can dislike him.

He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney). Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community. Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone? The series is quite amusing. Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps...

Bel-Air Season 1 No. of episodes: 10 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) Bel-Air is a dramatic version of the '90s comedy sitcom 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air'. It's about a young Will Smith who has to go to L.A. because of some issues happening in Philadelphia. Just like in the original series, Will (Jabari Banks) has to get used to his new surroundings with his wealthy family in Los Angeles. The series is interesting and they made some adjustments to the characters. Uncle Phil (Adrian Holmes) is slightly different in this show. He's strict but fair. He also has a few secrets. Aunt Vivian (Cassandra Freeman) plays a similar role to the 90's sitcom where she helps everyone try to accomplish their goals and become successful. The only difference in this show is that she used to paint and she stopped doing it to help Uncle Phil with his political career. Carlton (Olly Sholotan) was a bit of a shock to me. I was so used to his ...
