Photo Credit: Independent Film Company (IFC) / Shudder Good Boy director Ben Leonberg spoke about the ending of the horror movie and whether the dog dies. Good Boy opens in theaters in the United States on Friday, October 3, 2025. Recently, fans have also flooded the internet to learn about the dog’s fate in the film. Ben Leonberg confirms if the dog dies in Good Boy’s ending Director Ben Leonberg recently sat down for a chat with Cinemablend, where he shared whether Indy the dog dies in his movie Good Boy. Since the trailer for Good Boy came out, the top question on the internet has been whether the dog dies. However, Leonberg confirmed that the pup survives in the end. He compared Indy to Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible movies, without sharing any spoilers from Good Boy. He said, “It’s probably not so different from what I think people know when they go and see a Mission: Impossible movie. Tom Cruise isn’t gonna die, but the filmmaking still has to let you think he might fall off that airplane and die potentially for real when you’re watching Mission: Impossible. So, it’s a different way to solve a kind of similar problem.” Leonberg added, “Usually, that dog in horror movies doesn’t make it out of Act 1. This is obviously in a film entirely about Indy, so we’re expanding that story quite a bit.” Furthermore, Leonberg disclosed his feelings regarding the viewers’ reaction to the trailer and their curiosity regarding the dog. He stated that everyone was “surprised” with the reaction. “It’s all been delightful. We certainly think our dog is really compelling. It’s been delightful to see that people are this invested in Indy, his story, and outcome.” Good Boy’s cast features Arielle Friedman, Larry Fessenden, Anya Krawcheck, and more.

Photo Credit: Apple TV Plus The release date of Platonic Season 3 has become a major topic of discussion among fans of the comedy series. Anticipation for a new installment reached an all-time high following the second season’s conclusion. Created by Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, the narrative follows Sylvia and Will, two former best friends who reconnect after being estranged for a long time. The pair soon discovers that their rekindled friendship brings about a plethora of changes in their stable lives. So, what is Platonic Season 3’s release date estimate? Here’s what you need to know. What is the Platonic Season 3 release date estimate? The Platonic Season 3 release date estimate is 2027. This is based on past release patterns. Season 1 premiered in 2023, followed by Season 2 in 2025. Thus, if Season 3 followed a similar pattern, then its aforementioned 2027 release year becomes all the more likely. It should be noted that a third installment has neither been renewed nor canceled, as of writing. It’s possible that the series creators have only started analyzing the second season’s viewership and ratings, a key factor determining series renewal. Thus, fans can expect Season 3 news to arrive once the creators have decided what to do with the series moving forward. Platonic news and updates As of this writing, there’s no official news or credible reports concerning Season 3. However, two months ago, at the Los Angeles premiere of Platonic Season 2, Rogen and Byrne, in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, discussed including Zac Efron in a future season to complete the Neighbors reunion. For the unversed, Rogen, Byrne, and Efron starred together in the Neighbors comedy film series (2014-16). The films were directed by Platonic co-creator Nicholas Stoller. In the interview, Byrne didn’t understand why Efron hadn’t shown up yet, noting his inclusion was something the creators needed to focus on next. Meanwhile, Rogen remarked that Efron’s inclusion would be “amazing stunt casting” and “so funny.” The Platonic Season 3 cast could include Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, Luke Macfarlane, Carla Gallo, Tre Hale, and Andrew Lopez, among others. The synopsis for Platonic is as follows: “A platonic pair of former best friends approaching midlife reconnect after a long rift. The duo’s friendship becomes more consuming—and destabilizes their lives in a hilarious way.” The post Platonic Season 3 Release Date Estimate, News & Updates appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.

Photo Credit: Apple TV+ A new update has hinted at potential release date windows for Slow Horses Season 6 and Season 7. Gary Oldman confirmed the next chapter will begin filming after the sixth season wraps. The announcement drew attention as the Apple TV+ spy drama continues adapting Mick Herron’s Slough House novels. Slow Horses Season 6 and 7 likely to get 2026 and 2027 release dates, respectively Gary Oldman confirmed in an interview with ScreenRant that filming for Season 7 will begin at the end of October. This follows shortly after production wrapped on Season 6. The production timeline suggests Season 6 could come out in 2026 and Season 7 in 2027. The British spy drama premiered on Apple TV+ in April 2022. It adapts Mick Herron’s Slough House novels, with each season based on a single book. The show follows a team of sidelined MI5 agents, with Oldman portraying Jackson Lamb. Jack Lowden, Kristin Scott Thomas, Sophie Okonedo, Jonathan Pryce, Hugo Weaving, Saskia Reeves, Rosalind Eleazar, Christopher Chung, and Aimee-Ffion Edwards are also part of the cast. Will Smith created the series and planned it as a long-running project. However, he will exit the show post-Season 5. But it seems the creative team structured its roadmap well in advance. Oldman told Screen Rant, “This was Will’s last show, Season 5, and we had a whole new team come in. We’ve already shot Season 6, it’s in the can, and at the end of October, we start Season 7, and that’s a new team.” His remarks indicate that filming continues at a steady pace. Notably, Apple TV+ renewed the series through at least its seventh season in July 2025. Apple seems to be filming back-to-back seasons while earlier ones are still airing. While this approach is not very common among streaming services, it reflects the production model chosen for Slow Horses, which uses Herron’s novels as ready-made story blueprints. Season 5 is currently airing, with the following seasons already in advanced stages of completion. Given the filming schedule, Seasons 6 and 7 are likely to target release windows in 2026 and 2027, respectively. The series has steadily built a reputation as one of Apple TV+’s most acclaimed original dramas since its debut.

Photo Credit: Adrian S Burrows Sr/NBC via Getty Images When Chicago Fire kicked off Season 14, viewers quickly picked up on a major hint that after seven seasons, Daniel Kyri is saying goodbye to his role as Darren Ritter. However, it won’t be an immediate exit. Ritter will still appear in Season 14, just for a shorter run, before officially leaving the show for good. Is Daniel Kyri’s Darren Ritter leaving Chicago Fire in Season 14? Kyri confirmed in an Instagram post in August 2025 that he’s filmed his final scenes. He also clarified that his character, Darren Ritter, is leaving Chicago Fire. In the post, Kyri writes, “Yesterday, I filmed my last scenes as Ritter & I’m still so amazed that my first-ever TV gig—a role that was originally meant for just three episodes—turned into seven incredible years (SEVEN?!?!! Whatttt???!) and spanned eight seasons of this iconic show!” Kyri continues. “While I know I may never find another cast and crew as amazing as this one, I intend to carry what I’ve learned from you to every set in the future.” Originally, Ritter’s exit was tied to budget cuts, and the long-running show chose not to renew his contract heading out of Season 13. However, rather than vanish off-screen, Ritter was brought back for a couple of episodes in Season 14 so his character could receive a proper send-off. The Season 14 opener gives us clues about Ritter’s departure. We find Ritter still at Firehouse 51, getting back with his ex, Dwayne. The latter was transferred out of Chicago and joined the NYPD. Later, Dwayne is shot in the line of duty and is hospitalized in New York. Ritter gets on a plane to be by his side. This is how the show sets up Ritter’s exit: moving to New York to be with his boyfriend. While leaving the show is bittersweet for Kyri, he praised the Chicago Fire cast. He claimed he may never work with a group as incredible as this one. He added that he’ll carry everything he’s learned from them into future opportunities. Kyri also thanked the Wolf Entertainment team for recognizing his talent.

Photo Credit: @IFCFilmsUnlimited | YouTube Viewers who are walking into cinemas for Good Boy this weekend are wondering if there are mid- and post-credit scenes in the movie. While it may be unconventional for an animal-centric movie to have credit scenes, this being a horror movie holds a reason for the audience to stay back as the credits roll.

What happens in Good Boy’s mid- and post-credits scenes? The mid-credits scene shows Indy, looking out of a car window as it drives away from the eerie woods. After a thrilling and chaotic adventure, this scene offers some much-needed levity. The post-credits scene takes a lighter tone, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how the film was made. Leonberg shares fun anecdotes about how he got Indy, his own pet, to star in the movie. Released on October 3, 2025, Good Boy is a supernatural horror film that features Indy, who also goes by the same name in the movie.

Todd’s sister, Vera, worries about his isolation and believes the house is haunted, which could’ve also contributed to their grandfather’s death.

He told People, “In the first episode, something bad happens to me and I end up in the hospital. I wasn’t in the second episode, but I’m back in the third—they move us around.” So while Sergeant Fin recovers from his injuries, fans cannot wait to see him back in action.

Photo Credit: Showtime Networks Halo has surged back into the spotlight after its move to Netflix, where the sci-fi series quickly climbed into the platform’s Top 10 rankings. The development follows its cancellation on Paramount+ after two seasons, signaling a renewed wave of attention for the video game adaptation. Halo fans ask for Season 3 after the show’s successful debut on Netflix Halo, the live-action series based on the eponymous acclaimed video game franchise, has gained fresh momentum since arriving on Netflix, with fans demanding Season 3. Originally released on Paramount+ between 2022 and 2024, the show was cancelled after its second season. Halo has now climbed to Number 4 on Netflix’s Top 10 list, reflecting a surge of renewed viewer interest. (via ScreenRant) Fans have taken to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to campaign for a continuation. One user wrote, “@netflix Halo! Can’t believe Paramount canceled this series right when it’s getting SO GOOD! NETFLIX Save this show and charge me whatever u want. Season 2 finale is unbelievable! Halo Seson 3!” Another viewer added, “@netflix please do season 3. But have the team retcon the last episode of se 2 so they never made it to the halo. The blue balls of it all was way funnier.” The Halo franchise centers on Master Chief, a Spartan supersoldier in the 26th century, fighting against the alien Covenant. While Paramount’s version drew controversy for major deviations from the games, critics largely reviewed the show positively. Notable elements included a divisive storyline choice involving Master Chief, which polarized longtime fans. Despite mixed reception on its original platform, Halo’s new streaming presence has significantly boosted its visibility. Netflix’s broader audience reach has given the series a second life, positioning it alongside other top-ranked shows on the service. Season 2’s stronger critical response compared to Season 1 and the ongoing fan campaigns highlight a continued appetite for the adaptation. No official confirmation has been given regarding Season 3. Still, Halo’s rapid climb on Netflix’s charts and the strong reaction from audiences demonstrate how cancelled shows can find new life on larger platforms, leading to renewed demands for continuation.

Miami has struggled to find a viable option behind the plate since trading away J.T. Realmuto ahead of the 2019 season. After Jorge Alfaro, who returned in the Realmuto deal, failed to provide consistent results, the Marlins have shuffled through a mix of veterans and fringe MLBers over the past few seasons. Miami backstops finished 29th in OPS at the position in both 2023 and 2024. Agustin Ramirez seems like the answer, at least on offense. Acquired in the Jazz Chisholm Jr. trade, the top prospect popped 21 homers and stole 16 bases in his first taste of MLB action. Ramirez paced the team in doubles and total bases. He was a fixture in the heart of the lineup since getting promoted in late April. The problem with Ramirez as Miami’s solution at catcher was the catching part. He led the league with 19 passed balls, more than twice as many as the next-closest player (Shea Langeliers at nine). Ramirez also led all catchers with 10 errors, despite only making 71 starts at the position. The throwing aspect of the job didn’t go much better. Ramirez allowed 83 steals and threw out just 8 base runners, good for a paltry 8.8% caught stealing rate. He ranked dead last in Statcast’s CS Above Average metric, which compares the number of extra caught stealings to the expectation of an average catcher. Ramirez made 61 starts at DH in his rookie season. While that may be his ultimate home, president of baseball operations Peter Bendix hasn’t given up on Ramirez in the field. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Bendix said Ramirez still has “the ability to be a major league catcher and also needs to improve a lot to be able to consistently achieve that level” (link via Kevin Barral of Fish on First). It isn’t the strongest endorsement, but it’s enough to keep the door ajar on Ramirez’s future at the position. Liam Hicks functioned as Miami’s backup catcher for the majority of the 2025 season. He started 49 games behind the plate, while also making 23 starts at first base and 20 at DH. Hicks joined the team as a Rule 5 selection from Detroit. He posted a solid 98 wRC+ across 390 plate appearances, though the power was lacking. Hicks hit just a half dozen home runs and finished with a .099 ISO. He doesn’t have the type of thump typically associated with 1B/DH types, so sticking at catcher might be his only avenue to consistent playing time. The main issue with Hicks as a long-term option is the same one that plagues Ramirez. Hicks allowed 51 stolen bases last season, while catching just six would-be thieves. He had the fifth-worst mark in Statcast’s CS Above Average metric. The real answer at catcher might be waiting in the wings at Triple-A. Joe Mack is the organization’s fourth-ranked prospect according to MLB.com. FanGraphs ranked Mack third among Miami prospects in their midseason update. Mack was a first-round pick in 2021. He’s put up strong offensive numbers at each minor league stop, including a 129 wRC+ in 112 games at Double-A in 2024. Mack torched Double-A pitching once again to begin 2025 and was quickly bumped to Triple-A. He hit 18 home runs with a solid .250/.320/.459 slash line in 412 plate appearances with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp. The 22-year-old has an elite arm, which will provide some much-needed help in slowing down the run game. Mack has a shot to break camp with the team in 2026 after hitting .298/.382/.766 with six homers in 14 games in September. Whether or not Mack is with the big-league club next season, the team could use a glove-first veteran option. Victor Caratini, Austin Hedges, and James McCann would be viable options that shouldn’t be overly expensive. Old friend Jacob Stallings could also be a candidate to soak up innings behind the plate for a low investment. Ironically, Nick Fortes would’ve fit the bill as a veteran caddy to Mack. Fortes led the Marlins in starts behind the plate in 2023 and 2024, but was shipped out at the trade deadline this past season. View the full article

Photo by Christine Bartolucci | Disney via Getty Images Fans of General Hospital have lately been wondering whether Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and Ava Jerome (Maura West) are really over for good. Now, Hearst is weighing in on where he thinks the relationship stands and whether this is truly the end. Rick Hearst on whether Ric & Ava can get back together on General Hospital Ric and Ava’s romance took off when he served as her attorney, and what started as flirtation grew into a full-fledged affair. By teaming up to blackmail Alexis and indulging in schemes together, the duo seemed well-matched in cunning and ambition. Yet cracks began to show almost immediately. Most recently, Ava, Alexis, and Kristina impulsively held Ric hostage in Alexis’s basement — with Ava knocking him unconscious in the process. “This is going to sound really screwball, but I really hope this isn’t the end for the two of them,” Ric Hearst told Soap Opera Digest. “I feel like Ava and Ric were just getting started! … But this is a soap, right? Anything can happen, anything is possible.” Despite the betrayal and manipulation, Hearst believes there’s something real beneath it all. “With Ava, he can be who he is,” he explained. “They see each other without pretense.” That authenticity, according to Hearst, sets them apart from Ric’s other romances. Still, he admitted Ava wasn’t wrong to question Ric’s commitment. His character’s lingering feelings for Liz cast a shadow over the relationship, making Ava wary of being just a partner-in-crime rather than a true love. “He was seeing it as a partnership and obviously very much a physical attraction,” Hearst said, noting Ava’s perspective matters. “Why should she allow somebody to take advantage of her?” While the current storyline has driven a wedge between the pair, Hearst hasn’t given up hope. He emphasized his admiration for working with Maura West, pointing out that both their chemistry as actors and the dynamic between their characters make “Rava” too compelling to write off permanently. “As one of the directors said to us, ‘I think they’re just delicious together,’” Hearst recalled.

Photo Credit: HBO Max The new Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 8 promo trailer teases the final chapter of Chris Smith’s multiversal struggle. The season has steadily raised the stakes with betrayals, shifting alliances, and threats that stretch across alternate worlds. Episode 7 ended with Chris surrendering to A.R.G.U.S. and Keith vowing revenge, setting up a finale that will decide the fate of Earth-X and the DCU. Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 8 trailer previews the finale The trailer for Peacemaker Season 2 Episode 8, titled “Full Nelson,” previews the highly anticipated finale. The footage shows Christopher Smith, also known as Peacemaker, back behind bars. He declares, “I’m the angel of f***ing death,” while Rick Flag Sr. leads a mission to explore the Quantum Unfolding Chamber’s alternate realities. A.R.G.U.S. drives its own agenda, but the trailer depicts the team questioning whether those motives can be trusted. The preview builds on the fallout from Episode 7. That episode revealed Chris and his team landed on Earth-X, a world where the Nazis won World War II. Chris briefly embraced the illusion of a better life with his father August and brother Keith still alive. The truth, however, drove him to surrender to A.R.G.U.S. His choice puts him in prison and at the center of the multiversal crisis. Keith survives the events and vows revenge. James Gunn confirmed that Season 2 functions as a prequel to Superman: Man of Tomorrow (2027). The finale positions Flag Sr.’s alliance with Lex Luthor as a key link to the wider DCU. Fans expect Captain Triumph and other multiversal threats to collide with Chris and his allies as they traverse the chamber’s shifting realities. When asked about a third season, Gunn said, “It is not right now. I think that people should—that doesn’t mean there aren’t plans for these characters, but it’s not necessarily Season 3 of Peacemaker. And then people should watch Episode 8 to see what happens, because maybe some of your questions will be answered in that episode by itself” (via Collider). The Peacemaker Season 2 finale, “Full Nelson,” premieres on HBO Max on Thursday, October 9, 2025, at 9:00 p.m. ET. It stars John Cena, Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Frank Grillo, Sol Rodríguez, David Denman, Brey Noelle, and Tim Meadows.

Former Cubs manager David Ross is interested in a return to managing, the ex-skipper told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. “It’s an itch that hasn’t gone away.” Ross has been out of baseball for the past two years after getting fired by Chicago following the 2023 campaign. Ross spent four seasons at the helm in Chicago. He had no previous managing experience prior to taking over for Joe Maddon after the 2019 season. Ross led the Cubs to an NL Central title in the shortened 2020 season, but the squad was dispatched by the Marlins in the Wild Card round. Chicago failed to reach the playoffs for the final three years under Ross. After back-to-back seasons well below .500, Ross led the team to 83 wins in 2023, but they fell a game short of a Wild Card berth. The Cubs moved on that offseason, choosing to hand Craig Counsell a record five-year, $40MM deal. The jump from player to manager without a previous coaching gig was a bit surprising, but Ross was a familiar face in Chicago. He spent his final two seasons as a player with the Cubs, winning a World Series in 2016. The photo of Ross being carried off the field by his teammates was an iconic image following the curse-breaking victory. Ross relayed to Rosenthal that he was not interviewed by the Reds, Marlins, or White Sox during their managerial searches ahead of the 2025 season. He added that there were conversations about bench coach positions, but nothing came to fruition. The Athletic had previously reported that the Yankees and Orioles had shown interest in Ross for bench coach roles since he’d been fired by the Cubs, but the former catcher preferred a managerial position if he were to return to the dugout. This offseason presents plenty of opportunities. With Brian Snitker stepping down this week, there are now a staggering eight managerial openings around the league. The Twins and Giants fired their managers at the end of the regular season. The Nationals, Orioles, and Rockies did so during the season (though none of those teams have firmly declared that their interim skipper won’t be back). The Rangers and Bruce Bochy are parting ways. The Angels chose not to retain Ron Washington, who stepped away midseason due to heart surgery. The team also announced that interim manager Ray Montgomery, who took over for Washington, will not be back. Ross isn’t the only former manager in search of a new home. Bob Nightengale of USA Today wrote last month that Brandon Hyde, Derek Shelton, Bud Black, and Davey Martinez are all looking to land skipper positions after getting fired during this past season. Rocco Baldelli, Bob Melvin, Bochy and Washington were all let go at the end of the year. View the full article

http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Will-Vest-ALWCG3.jpgJunfu Han-USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Nobody likes a quick exit from the playoffs, but a brief October cameo would have been an especial humiliation for the 2025 Detroit Tigers. After spending much of the season fighting for the league’s best record, and collecting a 14-game divisional lead at one point, the Tigers went nine games under .500 in the second half. Not only was that bad enough to throw away the division title, Detroit nearly missed the playoffs altogether, only squeezing in thanks to a tiebreak advantage over the Houston Astros. So Thursday’s 6-3 win in Game 3 of the Wild Card series must come as a relief, especially given the measure of revenge that comes with beating Cleveland. Jack Flaherty got the call in Game 3, his first playoff appearance for the Tigers. There had to be some trepidation about Flaherty, given that his last quality start came back in mid-August. While his 4 2/3 innings of work were short on highlight moments, and he allowed three 100 mph liners that fortunately found leather instead of grass or dirt, Flaherty confined the hits to two-out rallies, leaving Cleveland little room for any bunting or other little-ball shenanigans until the fourth inning. A George Valera double and a José Ramírez single got the Guardians on the board in the fourth, but the danger ended when J-Ram was caught stealing and Chase DeLauter hit into a double play. Flaherty did at least avoid angering the cruel deity that governs predictions; last offseason, he famously said that the Tigers would have defeated the Guardians in last year’s playoffs if he hadn’t been traded to the Dodgers at the deadline. With Tarik Skubal pitching into the eighth on Tuesday, manager A.J. Hinch was quick to utilize his bullpen thereafter, first with Casey Mize in Game 2 and now Flaherty after 74 pitches in Game 3. While it didn’t surprise me that Flaherty was lifted in the fifth, I was a bit more surprised by who replaced him, with Kyle Finnegan coming in and facing all lefties, rather than Tyler Holton (though the latter did come in later for a scoreless bottom of the seventh). Slade Cecconi’s outing was a short one, and while he was hardly a disaster on the mound, consecutive third-inning singles from Gleyber Torres and Parker Meadows caused Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt to make an early call to the pen. In came Tim Herrin against the lefty Kerry Carpenter, whom Cecconi had tried to pitch around in the first inning, ultimately walking him. Herrin did allow an RBI double to Carpenter to open the scoring, but he retired Wenceel Pérez and Spencer Torkelson to limit the damage to a single run. The 1-1 game held until a sixth-inning homer from Dillon Dingler, who was born just an hour’s drive from Cleveland and played baseball for The Ohio State. The seventh turned out to be Cleveland’s annus horribilis. (I’m not sure what the Latin word for “inning” could possibly be.) Javier Báez started things off with a double for Detroit. Meadows got him to third on a bunt single that Erik Sabrowski didn’t get a play on quite fast enough. After Gleyber Torres grounded out and Meadows advanced to second, Hunter Gaddis intentionally walked Carpenter to set up the force play. Three singles drove in the runners, leaving Cleveland facing a daunting 6-1 deficit going into their half of the seventh. Cleveland’s last, best opportunity to make up the now-five-run deficit came in the eighth. Brayan Rocchio singled with one out, and a double from Steven Kwan drove him to third. Ramírez hit a fairly routine 3-1 grounder to first base, but Will Vest deflected the toss from Torkelson rather than catching it, allowing both runners to score. While everyone remembers the times that greed is good on the bases, few remember the times that the run-avarice is severely punished. Ramírez provided an example of the latter, as Vest’s redemption throw to second nailed him. It was J-Ram’s second out on the bases in this pivotal game. Vest stayed in the game for the ninth, and after three groundouts, Cleveland’s season was over. The ending for the Guardians may not feel great, but just getting here was an impressive feat for a team that didn’t get above .500 permanently until September. Exactly one month ago, the FanGraphs playoff probability for the Guardians had them at 2.5%, or about one in 40, just to make the playoffs. By winning the ALDS, the Tigers have effectively “reset” their second half of the season, and are right back where they would have been if not for the late-season struggles. While the Mariners will be favored, no team that starts Skubal twice in five games can fairly be called a long shot. Source View the full article

Infielder Jose Barrero and the Orioles have reunited on a new minor league deal for 2026, according to Francys Romero of BeisbolFR. Barrero had signed a minor league deal with the club in July but this new deal reunites him with the O’s for 2026 and includes an invite to major league spring training. Barrero, 27, has appeared in five major league seasons but with limited playing time in each. He has appeared in a total of 161 games with a .182/.238/.257 batting line. He has nine stolen bases and provided defensive versatility. He has big league experience at the three infield spots to the left of first base, as well as center and right field. Picking up Barrero is a bet more on his past prospect pedigree. Baseball America ranked him as one of the top 100 prospects in the league in both 2021 and 2022, when he was with the Reds. He put up a .303/.380/.539 line in the minors in 2021, production which translated to a wRC+ of 142. Things have been choppy since then. As mentioned, his big league looks haven’t led to much. His minor league numbers also tailed off. He exhausted his final option season in 2023. The Reds put him on waivers in March of 2024. He was claimed by the Rangers, though that club managed to pass him through waivers unclaimed shortly thereafter. He spent most of that year on the minor league injured list. He only got into 49 games and slashed .188/.277/.345 in those. He signed a minor league deal with the Cardinals coming into 2025 and started the season in good form. He had a .299/.396/.517 line in Triple-A when the Cards called him up in late April, though they didn’t play him much. He was on the roster for about two months but only got 31 plate appearances, hitting .138/.194/.276 in that sporadic playing time. He was designated for assignment, cleared waivers and elected free agency, which is when he signed his aforementioned minor league deal with the Orioles. He produced a rough .190/.261/.344 line for Triple-A Norfolk down the stretch. Despite those numbers, the O’s apparently like Barrero enough to bring him back in a non-roster capacity and see what happens next year. He’s had some ups and downs but is still just 27, so perhaps he can recapture some of previous form. Photo courtesy of Jeff Curry, Imagn Images View the full article

First baseman Pete Alonso has already said he will be opting out of his deal with the Mets and re-entering free agency, which could set up another will-they-won’t-they winter. A report from Will Sammon of The Athletic suggests that the Mets aren’t thrilled with Alonso’s defense and that spending more time at designated hitter may be necessary if the two sides do end up reuniting. Alonso has been a mainstay at first base for the Mets for many years. He has started at least 134 games there in each of the past six full seasons, including at least 160 games in each of the past two campaigns. While that reliable presence is valuable, the actual results have been less consistent. Defensive Runs Saved oscillated between giving Alonso positive and negative grades earlier in his career but has soured on him more recently. He was credited with a -3 score last year and -9 this season, bringing him down to -7 for his whole career. Outs Above Average has been more consistently down on him, as 2021 is the only year that metric had him above average. He’s at -33 for his career overall, including -8 in 2024 and -9 in 2025. Alonso has only ever played for the Mets but the club seemed willing to let him go last winter. He reached free agency and lingered unsigned until February, when he and the Mets finally reunited on a two-year, $54MM deal which allowed him to opt out after the first season. Just prior to that reunion, Mets owner Steve Cohen publicly complained about the “exhausting” negotiations. It was often speculated last offseason that the Mets were willing to let Alonso walk. At that point, the Mets would perhaps move Mark Vientos from third base to first base, leaving the hot corner open for someone like Brett Baty, Ronny Mauricio or Luisangel Acuña. Now that Alonso is returning to free agency, that kind of speculation might return. It’s unknown if Alonso is willing to spend more time in the DH slot or if he prides himself on continuing to be out there at first. If he is open to it, the Mets could accommodate him. Most of their DH at-bats went to Starling Marte this year, with Jesse Winker also in the mix before he got hurt. Both players are impending free agents, so the Mets could offer plenty of DH time to Alonso or someone else. It’s also possible Alonso plays for a team other than the Mets for the first time. He didn’t get the long-term deal he was looking for last winter but his upcoming market could be stronger. He won’t be attached to a qualifying offer this time since players can only receive the QO once. He’s also coming off a better offensive platform, having increased his batting line from .240/.329/.459 in 2024 to .272/.347/.524 in 2025. But on the other hand, he’s about to turn 31 years old and other teams might be just as concerned about his glovework as the Mets. Speaking of Marte, he spoke to Sammon this week, saying that he hopes to play for several more years and would be open to doing that as a Met. “Only God knows, but with continued good health, I’d love to have the opportunity to play at least three or four more years,” Marte said, “and continue to be part of this team and continue to help the young guys grow.” Marte last reached free agency ahead of the 2022 season, when he was going into his age-33 campaign. He and the Mets agreed to a four-year, $78MM pact, which is now ending. The first year went well, as he slashed .292/.347/.468 for a 133 wRC+ and stole 18 bases. However, he required groin surgery after that season and hasn’t been at that level since. He made multiple trips to the IL in 2023 and hit just .248/.301/.324 for a wRC+ of 75. He has bounced back somewhat in the two most recent seasons. He just hit .270/.335/.410 for a 112 wRC+ this year but, as mentioned, was mostly a DH. He only logged 65 innings in the outfield. The bat is still decent but he’s about to turn 37 years old, so he’s probably ticketed for a part-time role somewhere. Based on Sammon’s piece, Marte seems to also provide intangibles as a clubhouse leader. That could help his market somewhat but he’ll have considerably less earning power than in his previous trip to free agency. As mentioned, the Mets have DH at-bats available, though they will probably wait to see how things go with Alonso and other free agents before they consider bringing back Marte. Elsewhere on the roster, Andy Martino of SNY provides an update on left-hander Sean Manaea. Martino says Manaea finished the season with his elbow feeling good and may not need surgery, though the final decision will wait until after a cool-down period. Manaea began the season on the injured list due to an oblique strain. He was working back from that injury in June when a loose body was found in his elbow. Despite that elbow issue, he made it back from the IL in July. His results from there weren’t great, though there was less concern under the hood. A 5.64 earned run average is obviously not good but his 28.5% strikeout rate and 4.6% walk rate were both strong. He allowed 13 home runs in just 60 2/3 innings, with a home run to flyball rate of 19.4% in that small sample. His 3.08 SIERA, a measure that corrects for such abnormalities, suggested his ERA would have been much better with some normalization in a larger sample size. The Mets signed the lefty to a three-year, $75MM deal coming into this season. They will obviously want him to be fully healthy and back to his usual self next year, especially with questions all throughout the rest of their rotation. The fact that he’s trending towards not needing surgery is encouraging, though further updates should be forthcoming in the future. Photo courtesy of Brad Mills, Imagn Images View the full article

Photo Credit: New Line Cinema ComingSoon Senior Editor Brandon Schreur spoke to Freddy Krueger star Robert Englund about the brand-new A Nightmare on Elm Street 7-film collection from New Line Home Video. Englund discussed the advice Wes Craven gave him when making the first movie in the iconic horror franchise, his experiences on the set of New Nightmare, and more. “Freddy Krueger, the vengeful child killer burned alive by angry parents, returns to haunt the dreams of their children when this chilling 7-film saga becomes available as a 4K UHD collection for the first time. From his first terrifying appearance on Elm Street to his resurrection through nightmares, Freddy unleashes horror across generations – where sleep is no escape, and dreams become deadly,” a description of the product reads. The A Nightmare on Elm Street 7-film collection is now available to purchase. Click here for more information. Brandon Schreur: Before I ask you anything, I just want to say real quick that I am such a fan of your work and such a fan of this franchise. It’s super exciting that it’s getting this new seven-movie release, so congratulations on all the success that Nightmare has had. Robert Englund: Well, thank you. I’m really happy to be on the stump for the collection, because I’ve realized, in the years since it’s been coming out, just how many fans only saw it on VHS back in the day. Or, maybe the early DVDs. They have that great nostalgic memory of seeing it with their mom, their dad, their step-dad, single-mom, or something. Seeing mom get scared under that old quilt on the back of the couch. But I really encourage them, especially if they have a favorite, to check out these new ones. Because they’re pristine. They’re brand-new. The color timing, the color mix, and everything have been adjusted just exactly the way the people made them wanted. It’s really a treat. Oh, definitely. I’m so excited for this. I remember watching that first movie at a slumber party for the first time. Couldn’t tell the parents or anything like that. But we loved it, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Well, when I did The Goldbergs — I did that for my agent because it was his family’s favorite show — that was true. The Goldbergs, he really did have to go watch it next door. His mother wouldn’t let him watch it. That’s awesome. Robert, you first played Freddy Krueger back in 1984. Obviously, Wes Craven made that first movie. You’ve been in a lot of the sequels since then, or all of the sequels since then. My question is, was there a piece of advice that Wes Craven gave you when making that first movie — whether it was a note about the character or some kind of discussion about what kind of horror monster that Freddy really is — that you took with you and influenced your performance for the rest of the movies? There wasn’t really a note about how to act Freddy. Wes, God bless him, he was hands-off with me. Once he got me in that terrible sweater and the four hours of makeup. But the great advice Wes gave me early on was to respect the genre. I remembered, I had a flashback to my childhood. And I was a bit of a snob in the 70s because I’d come from the theater. I’d forgotten what a little fanboy I was and how much I loved Hammer Films, matinee horror movies, science fiction, Twilight Zone, and everything. When Wes told me that, to respect the genre, I think it really was a profound piece of advice. It really made me always think of the sequels and each one of the Nightmare projects, to imagine them in the best possible way. Imagine that they would look the best possible way coming alive off the page of the script. I always did that with my performance, as well. But, yeah, Wes really was kind of hands-off with me. I had to fight for the hat. Both he and Robert Shay were getting cold feet about the hat, for some reason. I sort of reminded them how the hat could help with the makeup. It could help hide the makeup because it casts a shadow, and by lifting my head, I could reveal my eyes and catch the light. Also, if I took the hat off — when I remove the hat — I would reveal further disfigurement, which was a dramatic value, too. So I kind of had to fight for the hat. But that’s about it. Wes, once he cast me, he kind of left me alone. Sure. That was a good fight. I’m glad we got the hat. I know, they literally put a paperboy’s hat on me once. I felt like I was going out for the bus and trunk company of Newsies. I love it. Building off that, after you did that first movie, there were all the sequels, but then you and Wes came back for New Nightmare in 1994. Which I think is maybe my favorite film of the franchise? It’s so hard to pick. It’s my favorite. Is it really? Yeah. I love it. I’m curious, in those ten years from the first movie to New Nightmare, did that dynamic change at all between you, Wes, and Heather? Or did you all get back on set and things clicked right back into place? I’d seen Wes a lot over the years. And I’d seen Heather a lot over the years on the publicity tours and a couple of film festivals. Wes and I had a great time at some film festivals in Italy. We got close. Not as close as we got when I did Nightmare Cafe with him, but we were pretty close. When we got back, my big experience that I remember from Wes Craven’s New Nightmare was hanging out with John Saxon every day for lunch. They had to shoot the kid up for the rest of the day, so I was always done by lunch. I’d have my little glass of wine stashed in the catering truck. I liked a free meal, and so did John. I got John to open up and tell me every story from Elvis Presley to Bruce Lee to Robert Redford to James Dean to Natalie Wood to Audrey Hepburn, John Huston, Quentin Tarantino, Clint Eastwood, and Marlon Brando. I got all the stories from John working the cusp of Old Hollywood into New Hollywood. That was my great takeaway from Wes Craven’s New Nightmare.

Photo Credit: United Artists The upcoming Rocky biopic movie, titled I Play Rocky, has found an actor to portray Carl Weathers. In May 2024, it was announced that Peter Farrelly had been tapped to direct I Play Rocky. The movie will detail how Sylvester Stallone fought tooth and nail to play the role of Rocky Balboa for the very first time in 1976’s Rocky, which was directed by John G. Avildsen and won the Best Picture Academy Award. It was previously announced that Anthony Ippolito, known for starring in 2022’s Purple Hearts, will play a young Stallone in the film. Who is playing Carl Weathers in the Rocky biopic movie? Per Deadline, it has now been announced that Stephan James will play Carl Weathers in the Rocky biopic. Weathers, who passed away in February 2024, played Apollo Creed in the first four Rocky movies.

James is known for playing Alonzo “Fonny” Hunt in Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk, which was released in 2018, and Jesse Owens in 2016’s Race. His filmography further includes 2013’s Selma, 2015’s Across the Line, 2019’s 21 Bridges, 2024’s The Piano Lesson, and 2025’s Night Always Comes, among other titles. In television, James starred as Walter Cruz in Amazon’s Homecoming series, while he’s additionally appeared in shows such as Degrassi: The Next Generation, Clue, The L.A. Complex, Shots Fired, #FreeRayshawn, Surface, and Beacon 23. The screenplay for I Play Rocky comes from Peter Gamble. Toby Emmerich and Christian Baha are producing the film, while FilmNation Entertainment is handling production services and international sales. A release date for I Play Rocky has not yet been set.
