Warning: this article contains major spoilers for Star Wars - The Rise of Skywalker!
Watching The Rise of Skywalker is definitely a bittersweet experience.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Glitch Lets Players Explore Battle Royale Map
A new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare glitch will allow players to explore what appears to be an upcoming battle royale map. While a battle royale mode hasn't been officially confirmed by Activision, the glitch seemingly allows players to explore the Ground War/Battle Royale playing area.
Discovered by Reddit user KingBreezoR and reported by Eurogamer, players can test out the glitch for themselves by playing a private match on the map Vacant. Once you've begun the game, simply use the free spectating feature and spawn camera to roam throughout the area. The Vacant map is set within Port of Verdansk, which is the large Ground War map. Here is where the glitch gets fun — you'll be able to travel outside of the Vacant boundaries and explore new, unreleased areas in Modern Warfare.
Rise of Skywalker Receives Lowest CinemaScore of Sequel Trilogy
It's not the greatest news to land after learning that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has opened in China with the lowest box office numbers of the new trilogy, but Episode IX has also received the lowest CinemaScore of the modern-era Skywalker films.
It's not a failing grade by any means, but after both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi got "A"s, and with Last Jedi being the film that fans were supposedly the most split over, this "B+" rating feels fairly telling with regards to how polarizing the final chapter is.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’s Hidden Planet Explained
Warning: this article contains major spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker!
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker brings back Emperor Palpatine one last time to help close out the Skywalker Saga. In the process, the movie reveals more about the Sith, including introducing the hidden planet Exegol and a new gadget called the Sith Wayfinder.
If these new additions to the franchise have you feeling a little lost, fear not. From the importance of the Wayfinder to Exegol and its strange Sith cultists, here's how The Rise of Skywalker adds to the fascinating mythology of the Sith.
Exegol: The Sith Home Planet
The Rise of Skywalker introduces several new planets to the Star Wars galaxy, but Exegol is easily the most significant. Much like Ahch-To in The Last Jedi, this remote world is hidden to all but a select few who have a map to its location. It's a place where the Sith can hide and consolidate their power. And because the Dark Side is unusually strong on this world, it's a place where a man like Palpatine can unleash his full power as a Dark Lord of the Sith.
The Witcher: How Episode 5 Pays Tribute to ‘Bathtub Geralt’

Now that Netflix's The Witcher is out in the world (check out all of our Witcher Season 1 reviews here), with Henry Cavill starring as Geralt of Rivia, many are wondering if it can be the "next Game of Thrones." The series has a lot of source material at its disposal. Fans will be looking for the show to not only service the Polish fantasy short-story series, by Andrzej Sapkowski -- particularly the sagas contained in "The Last Wish" -- but also the world, tone, and various aesthetics established in the video games by CD Projekt Red. And that includes not just things like characters' various looks, behaviors, and fighting styles, but also, you know, the famous scene that opens Witcher 3 -- Geralt's sultry steam bath.
Carrie TV Series Reportedly in Development at FX
Stephen King's famous story of a tormented telekinetic teen, Carrie, is making its way to TV.
Carrie became an iconic name in horror not just because of King's 1974 book, which was his first published novel, but also because of the 1976 Brian De Palma film starring Sissy Spacek. Less notable sequels and remakes occurred decades later, but the original film has maintained its status as a spooky-season must-watch.
Reported by Collider, FX and MGM Television are currently developing King's Carrie into a limited series. Sources tell Collider that the titular Carrie White character might be played by either a trans performer or an actress of color.
