Rockstar Working on Fix for Red Dead Redemption 2 Camp Glitch
Rockstar is currently working to fix a known glitch in Red Dead Redemption 2 that's causing certain companions to disappear from camp during the main story's early chapters. While players who've been affected by the glitch will have to wait for the official fix, the developer has revealed a temporary workaround for players who've yet to progress past Chapter 2.
Mild spoilers for Red Dead Redemption 2 follow.
The glitch, which has been the topic of several popular Reddit threads, sees Sadie Adler, Jack Marston, John Marston, and Abigail Roberts disappear from camp for seemingly no reason. However, according to Rockstar Support, the glitch is caused by using the Retry Checkpoint feature during Chapter 2's Polite Society, Valentine Style mission.
J.J. Abrams’ Overlord Gets Bloody Great New Gallery 1988 Poster
With the upcoming J.J. Abrams-produced zombie horror movie due in theaters this week, IGN is exclusively debuting a brand new Gallery 1988 poster for the movie featuring its main villain. Given the blood splash across the imagery and the fact that half of this featured character's face has been zombified, you can probably guess that he is up to no good. The Big Bad in question is Pilou Asbæk's Dr. Wafner, a Nazi doctor with a plan to develop secret serums intended to, as IGN's review explains, "create thousand-year soldiers needed for the thousand-year Reich." As for the purpose that these zombie-obsessed Nazis have driving them... well, you'll have to watch the movie to find out.
Here’s Why Carl Wasn’t in Rick’s Final Walking Dead Episode
This interview contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 9, episode 5, "What Comes After."
Although Rick didn't die in Andrew Lincoln's final episode of The Walking Dead, our hero was visited by several "ghosts" from his past while attempting to outrun a herd of walkers and make it back to his family: Jon Bernthal's Shane, Scott Wilson's Hershel, and Sonequa Martin-Green's Sasha - each of whom gave our bleeding hero some much needed advice and motivation when it seemed he might be ready to give up and become zombie chow.
Many fans were disappointed that Chandler Riggs' Carl and Sarah Wayne Callies' Lori didn't make an appearance for Rick's swansong, given their close connection with the character, but Walking Dead showrunner Angela Kang tells IGN that their close familial bond is exactly why the writers chose to keep Carl and Lori out of sight.

Is Amazon’s Homecoming the New Mr. Robot? They’ve Got One Big Similarity.
Amazon Prime Video's newest series, Homecoming, is a unique kind of thriller. Adapted from a cult podcast hit that already boasted a star-studded cast (including Oscar Isaac, Catherine Keener and David Schwimmer) - the show plays with the typical TV formula by keeping the majority of the twist-filled episodes to a lean half-hour run time, while still aiming for a cinematic feel thanks to elaborate one-shots and Hitchcockian framing.
Executive produced and directed by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail, the show stars Julia Roberts in her first TV role, alongside Bobby Cannavale, Stephan James, Sissy Spacek and Shea Whigham. Roberts stars as Heidi Bergman, a caseworker at the Homecoming Transitional Support Center, a Geist Group facility helping soldiers transition back to civilian life. Walter Cruz (James) is one of these soldiers, eager to begin the next phase of his life. Overseeing Heidi and the facility is Colin Belfast (Cannavale), an ambitious company man whose manic demands point to questionable motives.

Box Office Breakdown of Director Bryan Singer’s Films
20th Century Fox’s Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody had no trouble taking the top spot at the weekend box office, with an estimated $50 million, a tally that was much higher than initial projections. While the movie is the 10th of director Bryan Singer’s storied career (technically, it’s his 11th, but there is no box office data for his feature debut, 1993’s Public Access), this solid opening still doesn’t hold a candle to literally half of the director’s films, which, coincidentally, are all superhero movies. So we’re going to take a closer look at how the debut of Bohemian Rhapsody stacks up to the rest of Bryan Singer’s films, which is almost ironic since it almost wasn’t his film at all.
