Kiernan Shipka and Nico Hiraga star in Sweethearts:

Here’s the synopsis for the movie:

Two college freshmen pull a “Turkey Dump” and break up with their high school sweethearts over “Drunksgiving” – the one chaotic night before Thanksgiving in their hometown that puts their codependent friendship to the test.

Shipka is no doubt the bigger star in this film, having been the lead in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, but I do have to say Hiraga was pretty memorable in Olivia Wilde’s Booksmart where he played one of the ‘cool kids’.

Like any rom-com, the movie also has appearances from some great comic talent. Stavros Halkias may not be the biggest comedian now, but he’s steadily showing up in more places. The movie also features Tramell Tillman who pretty much stole the scene as Milchick in Apple TV+’s Severance.

It’s also worth noting that the movie is being directed by Jordan Weiss, the creator of the series Dollface which starred Kat Dennings and Brenda Song.

It’s a pretty interesting premise, and based on the trailer, this does look to be a more artsy rom-com as compared to what Netflix usually pumps out. At best it’s a funnier Euphoria, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

Catch Sweethearts when it releases on Max on Nov. 28.

Check out the trailer for Totally Killer:

The synopsis reads:

Thirty-five years after the shocking murders of three teens, an infamous killer returns on Halloween night to claim a fourth victim. When 17-year-old Jamie comes face-to-face with the masked maniac, she accidentally time-travels back to 1987. Forced to navigate the unfamiliar culture, Jamie teams up with her teenage mother to take down the psycho once and for all.

The film is directed by Nahnatchka Khan who had also helmed Netflix’s Always Be My Maybe; she was also the showrunner for Fresh Off the Boat which also starred Randall Park who is also in this movie. Other stars in the film include Olivia Holt, Julie Bowen, Charlie Gillespie, and Liana Liberato.

With Shipka being established as a horror genre icon thanks to Sabrina, it’s going to be interesting to see her be a pseudo-Marty McFly in a slasher movie. I’ll admit, I was kind of expecting her to lean into drama after Sabrina, but I guess there’s no harm in doing some more outrageous roles from time to time. Even Shipka’s TV dad, Jon Hamm takes comedic roles (and absolutely nails them).

Watch out for Totally Killer when it hits Amazon Prime Video this Halloween Season on Oct. 6.

Here’s the official description for the movie:

Based on a true story, WILDFLOWER is a coming-of-age film that follows Bea Johnson from birth to graduation as she navigates life with two intellectually disabled parents and an extended family who can’t quite agree on the best way to help.

Besides Shipka in the lead role, the film has also managed to cast stars including Alexandra Daddario, Jean Smart, Reid Scott, and Brad Garrett.

While Mad Men and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina had Shipka’s character coming-of-age as well, this is probably one of the few depictions where we actually get to see her as more of a normal young woman. Then again, there’s still nothing normal about her situation.

Just by looking at the trailer, Wildflower kind of feels like a more lighthearted I Am Sam, only the struggle of the character is purely to figure out what they want to do with themselves considering the condition of their parents; I guess I Am Sam had a lot more drama to explore, what with the parental relationship being shaken up by the legal system in that film.

Either way, I’m a fan of Shipka, and I’m excited to see her in more projects down the line.

Wildflower is now streaming on Hulu.

Showrunner for Riverdale Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa also tells EW about the crossover:

“We’ve been talking about having Sabrina visit Riverdale since season 1, so it’s thrilling that this is finally happening, as part of our ‘Riverdale’ special event. It’s also perfect that she shows up to help Cheryl Blossom during her hour of greatest need. Everyone on set lost their minds — I think fans will, too. It’s really fun and special.”

Though Sabrina and Riverdale exist in very different worlds, the characters do crossover all the time in Archie comics, and it would be great to see how Sabrina fits into this world. Though she may have lost her show, maybe this means that we can see more of her character (as well as other characters from her show) pop up in the future—much like what happened with John Constantine and Legends of Tomorrow.

Here’s the synopsis of The Witching Hour(s), Sabrina’s guest episode:

“Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) is performing a dangerous spell, one that may mean the difference between life and death for a beloved member of the Blossom family, according to a logline description of the episode. Luckily, she’s getting a much-needed assist from everybody’s favorite 20-something witch, the iconic Sabrina Spellman (Shipka), visiting from Greendale in this years-in-the-making crossover.“

Sabrina visits Riverdale when her episode airs on Dec. 7. You can catch all four seasons of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina now on Netflix.
