Now, director/screenwriter Emerald Fennell has […]Read On »

George R.R. Martin has written a great deal about the fictional realm of Westeros, and that’s not just because each individual novel in his GAME OF THRONES series is a massive tome. Besides being involved in the HBO adaptations of his work, Martin has penned prequel novels and novellas about the Seven Kingdoms (as well as his substantial body of non-THRONES-related books and scripts). The latest of Martin’s Westeros tales to be adapted as a television series is A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS, airing on HBO Sunday nights and available on HBO Max. The first season is based on […]Read On »

Written by Owen Egerton and directed by Corin Hardy, the movie even name-checks horror directors Wes Craven, William Friedkin (character surnames), Mark Pellington (the high school the characters attend), and Andy Muschietti.

CAN DOGS TALK? Key Art | ©2026 PBS

The PBS NOVA documentary CAN DOGS TALK? premieres on the network Wednesday, February 4.

Children’s speech language pathologist Christina Hunger pioneered this type of canine/human interaction with her dog Stella. Acquired by Hunger as a puppy, Stella is part Australian cattle dog and part Catahoula. Hunger is the author of the newly-published book […]Read On »
