One might wonder if Netflix could just keep every film or series they have ever streamed. That sure would make it easy for the rest of us to find what we love. Still, there is licensing and bandwidth to worry about.

That means every month viewers have to try to catch shows and movies before they leave the streamer for good. Or at least for a while. Thankfully, there are not a huge number of things leaving Netflix in February, but there are ones we will miss.

Below are three films you will not want to miss. You might have seen them before, but they are worth seeing again. And if you have not seen them, one might ask, "Why not?" Well, here is your chance.

Over the past few months, TV personality Wendy Williams has made headlines over her health issues and current guardianship. Various members of Wendy’s family have spoken out, often with the hope of seeing her released from her guardianship. In a recent update, the star has some good news to share concerning her father.

Wendy Williams’ Father Is About To Celebrate A Big Event

Williams is best known for hosting her namesake series, The Wendy Williams Show, from 2008 to 2021, in addition to her work as a shock jock. However, she recently left the public life following her being diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia.

Since then, the star has been placed under a guardianship. In recent months, however, there has been some controversy over whether or not Williams really needs to be under such rigid care. Members of Williams’ family have even talked about the situation.

Hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was once on top of the world. The rapper and producer is the founder of Bad Boy Records, which signed talent like the Notorious B.I.G. and Faith Evans. Diddy was highly-regarded as a major influence on the hip-hop industry in the 1990s and 2000s, and he dated multiple women and welcomed a number of children through the years.

In 2017, Diddy sat down with Wendy Williams, and she asked him a number of hard-hitting questions — including whether he would ever get married. Diddy had an interesting response.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs said marriage was ‘serious’

There isn’t anything wrong with not wanting to get married and settle down. But knowing what we know now about Diddy — and his relationship with now-ex girlfriend Cassie Ventura — his response from that 2017 interview seems bizarre. Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, and the previous year,...

School Spirits is like if Breakfast Club and Scream had a baby and Pretty Little Liars was that baby’s aunt. The 8-episode first season was a fast-paced, trope-subverting show that was pleasantly exciting to watch. The show follows Maddie, a high school senior, who one day wakes up as a spirit without any memory of her death. To solve the mystery of her death, Maddie teams up with the titular group; a bunch of kids and a teacher who all died in the school over the years and haven’t managed to cross over. Also, none of them can leave the school premises. Maddie’s friends include Simon and Nicole, and she’s got a boyfriend, Xavier, who was the first suspect in her disappearance. Maddie is a single child whose dad died young, and Mum’s been a drunk ever since. Maddie’s relationship with her mom wasn...

True crime has been a very popular genre for a while now, so it's not surprising that a genuinely horrifying real-life case — which occurred in Austria and came to light in 2008 — served as inspiration for two (admittedly different) movies. So, if you've seen the 2021 Lifetime original film "Girl in the Basement," what is it about ... and how does it connect to real-life events?

Released in 2021, "Girl in the Basement" stars Stefanie Scott as Sarah Cody, a rebellious teenager who's seeing a boy named Chris (Jake Etheridge) and sneaks out to meet up with him against the wishes of her extraordinarily strict father Don. After she returns home, having been out all night, Don does something horrific; he imprisons his own daughter in the soundproofed basement of the Cody family home, unbeknownst to her mother Irene (Joely Fisher) and sister Amy...

In 2020, Snoop Dogg said Eminem didn’t crack his list of top ten favorite rappers. This kicked off a short-lived feud between the two, as Eminem felt disrespected that Snoop didn’t appear to appreciate his music. Within a year, Snoop said he’d apologized to Eminem for what he said. He didn’t want any bad blood between them.

Snoop Dogg and Eminem began feuding in 2020

In 2020, Snoop said he thought Eminem made it as far as he did because of Dr. Dre.

“Eminem, the great White hope. White rappers had zero respect in rap. Let’s keep that one thou-wow. None,” he said on The Breakfast Club. “He [Dr. Dre] has probably put Eminem in the position to where he could be one of the top ten rappers ever. I don’t think so, but the game feels like he’s top ten lyricists and all that that comes with it.

Actor Meagan Good has been flaunting her relationship with Jonathan Majors ever since the two announced they were a couple. In a recent interview, Good shared what exactly she appreciated the most about Majors.

Good and Majors sparked rumors that they might’ve been a couple after they were photographed together on May, 2023. They later confirmed their pairing by holding hands when they attended a hearing together at a New York City courthouse. Since then, the two have been more than open about their relationship. Good has even stood by Majors’ side throughout his controversies with ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari.

“Life is crazy—I’m crying to you—she is the most perfect, beautiful, divine [and] powerful being that I’ve ever met,” Majors said of his fiancée in an interview with Ebony.

In 2020, Snoop Dogg shared his top ten rappers and did not include Eminem on the list. This began a feud between the two rappers. It didn’t last long, but Eminem felt quite disrespected for a time. He shared what Snoop said that upset him.

Eminem and Snoop Dogg were at odds for a time

When asked about his top ten rappers, Snoop said Eminem reached his level of success because of Dr. Dre.

“Eminem, the great White hope. White rappers had zero respect in rap. Let’s keep that one thou-wow. None,” he said on The Breakfast Club. “He [Dr. Dre] has probably put Eminem in the position to where he could be one of the top ten rappers ever.

TV and radio personality Wendy Williams has recently been the subject of headlines concerning her guardianship following various health issues. However, the star herself and her family has recently spoken out about her situation. A legal expert has recently weighed in on the issue.

Both Williams & Her Family Have Spoken Out About Her Situation

However, it’s recently come to light that Williams’ family possibly has the power to change things.

Sean “Diddy” Combs has faced various legal troubles since his past September indictment. Recently, the mogul has been the subject of a prediction made by a TV personality. Since then, he has also become part of a recent viral social media trend.

Sean Combs’ Upcoming Trial Is Expected To Take Place This May

Combs had been arrested back in September. Since then, he has been spending his time behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

While Combs’ legal team had originally hoped to see the mogul placed under house arrest, at least three bail proposals have since been rejected by a judge. Following this, Combs is expected to remain at the center until his upcoming trial this May.

Is Wendy Williams ready to expose Diddy’s dark past?

Wendy Williams said a lot of things this week in two different interviews. She spoke to her longtime friend, Don Lemon, on his podcast. She also spoke to DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God on the Breakfast Club podcast. In both, she seemed distressed that she was locked away and wasn’t allowed to see her family and loved ones. However, she also seemed concerned about her treatment.

Here is what Wendy had to say about the treatment in the facility she was admitted to in New York.

Wendy Williams Says She Is Taking Lots Of Mystery Medication

In the interviews, Wendy Williams said that she feels that the facility she lives in is like a prison. While this is not a basic long-term care facility and is instead a luxury care facility with around-the-clock medical care, she feels that she can’t do anything but just look out the window.

Wendy Williams did a surprise interview that her niece set up for her. Now, she has spoken to her old friend Don Lemon in another interview. This interview had Don, a former CNN host who is now a podcaster, ask Wendy if she was really “incapacitated.” Her answer was blunt and clear.

Here is what Wendy had to say and why Don thinks that her conservator is blocking her from seeing her family during this tough time in her life.

Wendy Williams’s fortune, safety. and health have been a topic of concern over the last year. A conservator has taken control of everything, and since then, Williams’s multi-million dollar fortune disappeared. Her family claims they aren’t allowed to see her. In a new interview with The Breakfast Club on Thursday, Wendy said she is being kept from almost all communication.

Here is what Wendy said about being kept in a facility and not being allowed her laptop or cell phone.

Talk show host Wendy Williams has spoken out against the reports that she is “cognitively impaired.”

Williams has been under guardianship since The Wendy Williams Show ended in 2022, and Wells Fargo, her bank, announced that she was an “incapacitated person” experiencing “undue influence and financial exploitation.” Last year, it was announced by Williams’ team that she was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, which rendered her “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated.”

On Thursday morning, Williams called into the radio show The Breakfast Club to say, “I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying? But I feel like I’m in prison.”

She rhetorically asked hosts DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious and Charlemagne The God, “Do I seem that way, god damn it? I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s…there’s something wrong with these people here on this floor.

A surprise call into The Breakfast Club by Wendy Williams exposed new details about her health and wellbeing. The former Wendy Williams Show host claims she is in “prison,” while her niece alleges her aunt faces “neglect” and calls for fans to “make noise” for Williams’ “dignity” and “freedom.”

Wendy Williams claims she’s ‘trapped’

Wendy Williams called into The Breakfast Club radio show to discuss her conservatorship with Loren LoRosa, DJ Envy, and Charlamagne Tha God. Williams maintains she is “trapped.”

Williams explains she is effectively in “prison.” She adds, “I am not cognitively impaired. But I feel like I am in prison. I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s their 80s and their 70s. There’s something wrong with these people here on this floor,” she clarifies.

Her statement refuted a claim made by Williams’guardian, Sabrina Morrissey. She claims the former talk...

There are some secrets that refuse to stay buried, no matter how much time passes. And when it comes to Diddy, those secrets aren’t just whispered in dark corners; they’re the kind of rumors that ignite debates, shape careers, and leave a trail of controversy in their wake.

A decade-long buzz has swirled around Sean Combs, leaving many wondering about the man behind the empire. Despite his larger-than-life persona, a murky cloud of rumors regarding his s*xuality has persisted, and some say he’s gone to extreme lengths to quash them.

According to American radio host, Charlamagne tha God, Diddy didn’t just stand by and watch as rumors circulated—he allegedly pulled strings and made sure those spreading them were silenced. He even accused Combs of orchestrating the firing of Wendy Williams from Hot 97 in 1998. Why?

Because Williams dared...

Wendy Williams spoke out about her guardianship in a rare interview on Thursday morning.

During a conversation with The Breakfast Club’s Charlamagne tha God, the former daytime TV host denied she was cognitively impaired and said she felt like she was “living in prison.”

Williams, 60, has been under a court-ordered guardianship since 2022, after her bank raised concerns that she was being financially exploited. She was later diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia. In November 2024, her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, said in court document that Williams was “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled, and legally incapacitated,” according to People.

Wendy Williams says conservatorship system is ‘broken’

During her nearly 40-minute call with The Breakfast Club, Williams described the conditions in the New York facility where she currently lives. She said she was confined to a locked floor, could not receive calls from friends and family (though she was allowed to make...

The Wendy Williams Show was groundbreaking for numerous reasons. At the time, no one else on daytime television discussed pop culture subjects. But it wasn’t the career trajectory that Williams envisioned for herself.

Breaking Ground

Williams is speaking out about her career, health, and finances. She revealed why she made the move to daytime television. The blunt television personality admitted that she only “did it for the money.” Williams enjoyed working in the radio industry more. However, she had to change with the times, as talk shows were becoming more popular.

The former radio DJ appeared on The Breakfast Club. “For me, being on TV, I’m not going to lie, that was about money,” Williams said, per People. But her heart was always with the radio industry. “To be on radio, to me, is a godsend to me. And I was doing such great stuff on radio.” Unfortunately,...

Over the past few months, TV personality Wendy Williams’ health issues have been a topic of discussion for fans. Figures including Williams’ own brother to a guardian have spoken out about her condition. In a recent interview, the star herself has shed some light on her story.

Wendy Williams Shares Her Side Of The Story

Williams is known for her work as a radio DJ, a shock jock, and a TV personality. Notably, from 2008 to 2021, she served as the host for The Wendy Williams Show.

However, the star’s health issues caused her to take breaks from the show, causing its eventual end. Following this, it would come to light that she had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.

As noted by Page Six, Williams and her niece Alex Finnie spoke with “The Breakfast Club” radio show. Notably, the show is hosted by DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious,...

Wendy Williams is speaking out. In an emotional interview with “The Breakfast Club,” the former talk show host explained what her life is like in the cognitive facility where she resides. Though she didn’t expressly criticize her guardianship due to an ongoing legal battle, the star painted an upsetting picture of her current life.

“I am not cognitively impaired. You know what I’m saying? I feel like I am in prison,” Williams told Charlamagne tha God and DJ Envy.

In January of 2022, Wells Fargo froze Williams’ accounts and requested the New York Supreme Court to determine whether she needed a guardianship due to health conditions. Sabrina Morrissey was appointed to oversee the star’s finances, leading to Williams being moved to a wellness facility. That is where she’s remained.

Her representatives have stated that Williams was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, an allegation of mental impairment that Williams disputed.

In November of 2024, Wendy Williams was labeled “permanently disabled” by her legal guardian.

And today, the world learned that Wendy has been confined to an assisted living facility ever since.

The troubled TV personality called into The Breakfast Club radio show this morning and claimed that she’s being held against her will.

In a shocking interview with host Charlamagne Tha God, Wendy made a case for why she should be released from her conservatorship.

“I am not cognitively impaired, but I feel like I am in prison,” she said.

Speaking about her day-to-day life, Wendy revealed that she mostly avoids the elderly patients who make up the majority of the facility’s population.

Wendy Williams, in one of her first interviews in years, spoke out against her court-ordered conservatorship and the claims from her own team that she’d been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.

Calling into The Breakfast Club Thursday, Jan. 16, Williams was adamant that her mental condition had not deteriorated at all and said she felt trapped in the care facility where she’s been living: “I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying? But I feel like I’m in prison.”

A few minutes later, when...

Wendy Williams has spoken out publicly for the first time about her guardianship, revealing she “feels like she is in prison” and claiming to be a victim of “emotional abuse.” The beloved talk show host called into The Breakfast Club on Thursday (January 16), where she was asked about the court-ordered guardianship she’s been under since 2022. She was diagnosed with aphasia and frontotemporal dementia in 2023, and last November, her guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, said Williams was “permanently incapacitated.” Williams denied Morrisey’s assessment, stating, “Do I seem that way, god damn it? I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying?” She went on to talk about the care facility where she’s been living, revealing, “I feel like I’m in prison. I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s… There’s something wrong with these people here on this floor.

If you were unaware, she was placed under a guardianship in 2022. Earlier this year, it was reported that she was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia and was declared “permanently incapacitated” by her guardian.

About the diagnoses she was publicly given, the 60-year-old former talk show host asked the hosts DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious, “Do I seem that way, god damn it?”

“This is what is called emotional abuse,” Wendy said.

Wendy Williams spoke out against her guardianship on “The Breakfast Club” Thursday morning, saying, “I feel like I’m in prison.” The former daytime host has been under a guardianship since 2022, and last year, her care team said she had been diagnosed with dementia and aphasia, which affects language and communication abilities.

However, when calling into “The Breakfast Club,” Williams said this is not true. “Do I seem that way, god damn it?” she asked hosts DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God and Jess Hilarious.

“I am not cognitively impaired, you know what I’m saying? But I feel like I’m in prison,” the 60-year-old said of the New York City care facility where she has been living. “I’m in this place where the people are in their 90s and their 80s and their 70s … There’s something wrong with these people here on this floor.”

Hip-hop’s history is already packed with wild drama, but when Tupac and Diddy get mentioned in the same breath, stuff hits a whole new level. This time, it’s not about diss tracks or beef; it’s Diddy’s reaction to Tupac murder allegations that’s got people in splits.

2024 was one of the best years in his career for Sebastian Stan. He played a man with neurofibromatosis in A Different Man and later portrayed a young Donald Trump in The Apprentice. The former brought him a Best Actor award glory at the 82nd Golden Globes. However, he admitted that it was a relatively quiet year for him because of not working with a Marvel co-star.

He shared that he missed his MCU mate Anthony Mackie, adding that he hated to admit it publicly. Interestingly, Stan will once again be the talk of the town for his role of the Winter Soldier when Thunderbolts* drops in theaters this year.

Most high school movies from the 1980s might’ve been the go-to for teen comedy back in the day, but a lot of them don’t hold up today. Even though some of these flicks are still tossed around as the best high school movies of all time and even the best movies of the '80s, they’ve got some serious issues when viewed through a modern lens. This includes casual sexism, misogyny, and even jokes about sexual harassment,

Unfortunately, the films in question tend to glorify the idea that boys can do whatever they want without consequences while objectifying and disrespecting women at every turn. The inappropriate pranks, reckless behavior, and creepy crushes might have been used as comic relief decades ago, but now they just come off as red flags.

The Breakfast Club (1985) Directed by John Hughes

Your changes...

When Sebastian Stan greets you, there’s an earnest warmth in his voice that makes you forget, even for a moment, the intensity of the roles he’s embodied this past year. The 41-year-old actor is riding high on a wave of critical acclaim for his two vastly different but equally daring performances in “The Apprentice” and “A Different Man,” which earned him double Golden Globe nominations — a feat last achieved by Ryan Gosling in 2016.

This past year, Stan has proven, yet again, why he’s one of the most transformative actors working today. From donning prosthetics and exploring themes of self-acceptance in “A Different Man” to stepping into the psyche of one of the most polarizing figures in modern history for “The Apprentice,” Stan’s ability to disappear into a role is matched only by his determination to tell complicated stories, no matter the fallout.

If “A Different Man” was a personal exploration,...

Thunderbolts* is going to be a breath of fresh air if Sebastian Stan's comments about the McU's newest superhero team are to be believed, and now I'm even more excited about it. Thunderbolts* is due to be released on May 2 and will debut a unique lineup of the titular team from Marvel Comics, made up of some of the McU's most compelling minor villains and antiheroes. The fact that Thunderbolts* will be released just a few months before Fantastic Four: First Steps will debut one of Marvel Studios' most illustrious teams intensifies their relative obscurity.

Now, I think this is a good thing. The live-action rendition of the Thunderbolts comprises some surprising MCU fan-favorite characters, not least of whom is Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes. While there are plenty of Thunderbolts* story details still to ascertain, trailer footage conveys the less-than-ideal circumstances under which the team first forms, with Bucky...

Jon Cryer, known for his funny role as Alan Harper on Two and a Half Men, surprised fans when he took on a very different role in the 13th season of NCIS. Instead of making people laugh, he brought a serious, fresh energy to the show as Dr. Cyril Taft, a Navy surgeon with a unique personality. This change showed just how versatile Cryer is, adding something new to the NCIS world.

What made his role stand out was not just his unique personality. It was how Cryer mixed humor with serious acting, leaving fans eager to see more.

Why is Jon Cryer’s NCIS role so memorable?

Famously known as Alan Harper from Two and a Half Men, Jon Cryer made a surprising leap from comedy to drama with his guest appearance on CBS’s NCIS. In Season 13, he played Dr.

Bucky Barnes actor Sebastian Stan underscores the importance of practical effects in Thunderbolts* and explains why Marvel prioritized them in the Phase 5 movie. The McU's upcoming Thunderbolts* team-up movie introduces a new MCU team made up of deadly assassins and super soldiers. Although not as physically powerful as comic-book Thunderbolts members like Atlas and Moonstone, the McU's Thunderbolts team is a dangerous black ops squad made even more volatile by its leader, Valentina Allegra de Fontaine.

Thunderbolts* is an action-packed movie, as expected, but unlike some other MCU installments that overindulge in VFX and CGI, Thunderbolts* makes good use of practical effects, as Bucky Barnes star Sebastian Stan shares to Deadline . Stan reveals, "there were many things in the movie that were actually done practically" and argues that the difference between practical effects and fully-digital ones is clear, highlighting the importance of adding practical effects "because people are just smart.

The procedural drama Wild Cards on the CW was green-lit for a second season in May, but like so many CW shows before, it floated in the bubble about whether the network would be canceled. For fans of this intriguing Canadian-us show, it was a relief.

Season 2 of Wild Cards is currently in production and will premiere on Thursday, Feb. 6 in the US. Not only will we have more crime-fighting stories led by Max and her partner, Ellis, who is portrayed by Vanessa Morgan of Riverdale and Giacomo Gianniotti of Reign, respectively. A handful of guest stars will also join the roster.

It's big news, considering we didn't have much coverage between the renewal and the guest star update. The CW has a history of keeping mum on show spoilers, even when updates are considered spoilers. Wild Cards has followed the same pattern, so we'll take what we can get regarding its content.

This past Sunday saw Sebastian Stan win a Golden Globe for his performance in A Different Man. Heading into March's Academy Awards, the actor is a very real contender for a "Best Actor" nomination thanks to his role in both that and The Apprentice.

2025 will also see him return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Thunderbolts*. The expectation is that the movie will establish a new team of Avengers (* = New Avengers) but for Stan, the most exciting thing has been starring in a Marvel Studios movie like no other.

Talking to Deadline, he called Thunderbolts* "its own thing" and said, "I don’t feel you can compare it to any previous Marvel movie, and that’s because of the group of characters in this film and these actors.

Sebastian Stan says upcoming Marvel movie 'Thunderbolts*' has similarities to 'The Breakfast Club'.The 42-year-old actor – who won the Golden Globe to Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Film at the 82nd Golden Globes for 'A Different Man' – will be reprising his role as James 'Bucky' Barnes, aka The Winter Soldier, in the upcoming MCU blockbuster, and has now hinted 'Thunderbolts*' will lean on the theme of "misfits" from John Hughes' beloved 1985 coming of age comedy-drama.In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Stan shared: "I think this movie is very singular and will stand on its own. I know these are bold words, but there’s no other Marvel group that you can kind of compare us to, it’s its own thing. "It's like 'The Breakfast Club', that’s the best way of describing it. A pair of misfits that...

A few classic Eighties teen movies (mostly from John Hughes) are celebrating their 40th birthdays around now, and — unlike Samantha’s family in Sixteen Candles — Funko didn’t forget.

Movies are constantly made to capture a specific moment in time. Productions that rely heavily on true, human experience have a deep way of resonating with individuals, especially individuals who have gone through such experiences. Visual style, themes, and characters can make certain movies perfect capsules for the time they were made as well as priceless slices of life that can be analyzed to extreme levels.

Some productions stand out as movies that defined their decades but are still timeless classics, weaving stories that have resonated well beyond their original release. The balance between art, historical reflection, and pure humanity proves particular films’ incredible abilities to whisk audiences away to a precise place and time. Films like The Breakfast Club and La La Land will forever encapsulate the moments and situations they present, from a day one would never forget to a relationship that never was.

‘Thunderbolts*’ is one of the many upcoming MCU movies, but it stands out for a few important reasons. First, it will bring Marvel’s version of the Suicide Squad to the MCU. Second, it will introduce Sentry, one of the most powerful characters in comics, to the big screen.

The movie will also see the return of our favorite (anti) heroes most notable among them Red Guardian played by David Harbour, Yelena Belova, MCU’s current Black Widow played by Florence Pugh, and Bucky Barnes played by Sebastian Stan.

In previous interviews cast members have already discussed how ‘Thunderbolts*’ will showcase a completely different team than what we’re used to seeing in the MCU and the team dynamic in the movie will be special with great focus on wounded people who feel that their superpowers are useless.

Now in his most recent interview for Et Online, Sebastian Stan made...

If you were a casual fan of "The Chi," the South Side Chicago drama series that premiered in 2018, you were probably a bit confused when major character Brandon Johnson (Jason Mitchell) was suddenly written out of the show. Season 2 ended with the character in a rough, complicated spot, letting fans wonder in the break between seasons just how he was going to handle all the chaos. The opening of season 3 revealed that he wouldn't be handling it at all. He died off-screen between seasons -- or, as fans of "The Simpsons" might put it, Brandon died on the way back to his home planet.

It's not unlike what happened in the sixth and final season of "House of Cards," where Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) was revealed to have died off-screen, even though audiences certainly knew this was not the writers' plan back for him when they were finishing up season...

Many movies aren't as wholesome and lighthearted as people assume they are, and watching them closely reveals they can be surprisingly dark. This is especially true when it comes to children's movies, as animation, comedy and music can gloss over some heavy themes. However, these elements can do the same in more mature movies in some circumstances, and people might forget about some darker moments.

Older movies like Breakfast at Tiffany's and The Breakfast Club can hide some darkness behind a glossy veneer of nostalgia. When people think of these classics, they often think about the fashion, the music or the actors. This ignores some distressing topics, like depression, trauma and isolation. Ultimately, it's best to dispell any assumptions about a movie before judging it fairly, but this isn't always easy.

The Breakfast Club ending is a much more profound, ambiguous, and thought-provoking conclusion than the average teen comedy, with storylines left unresolved and questions left unanswered. Released in 1985 to critical acclaim and box office success, The Breakfast Club revolves around a group of high school misfits in Saturday detention under the watchful eye of their totalitarian vice principal. One of John Hughes’ most iconic high school movies marked the peak of the “Brat Pack” era, with such stars as Emilio Estevez, Molly Ringwald, and Anthony Michael Hall giving some of the best performances of their career.

Decades after its release, The Breakfast Club remains a celebrated classic and a staple of popular culture. With some of the most memorable quotes, characters, and cinematic moments of its decade, it's a cornerstone of the ‘80s movie aesthetic. Its unforgettable final scene leaves a lot of crucial questions unanswered, though. Most coming-of-age movies...

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Dexter: Original Sin episode 4.

Dexter: Original Sin's episode 4, "Fender Bender," shows Dexter making his first fatal error, resulting in the biggest cliffhanger ending in the prequel series. After a divisive Dexter: Original Sin premiere and a tremendously vintage double-episode release just in time for Christmas, the fourth of ten Dexter: Original episodes continues to make impressive and entertaining strides for the series. With his first two kills under his belt, Dexter takes aim at an ex-hitman named Mad-Dog.

Episode 4 also leans into Debra's season-long narrative as one of the popular volleyball jocks at her high school. While her conflicts are much more common and less violent than the secrets her brother and father, Harry Morgan, keep hidden, Debra's attempts at scoring drugs to impress her friends and snub the mean girl feel like classic high school stunts pulled straight out of The Breakfast Club and Clueless.
