We often talk about the loss of monoculture. It's increasingly rare that the entire zeitgeist is captivated by a single TV show or movie. But between World Cup fever and the Knicks win, there's a palpable collective energy right now — particularly in New York City, where I happen to be writing this note from my hotel room with thousands of fans packing a random side street below, singing "New York, New York" with no hope of any sort of actual view of the Parade of Champions progressing a full block away. I don't see this kind of fandom even at Comic-Con! —*Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief*

Toy Story 5

Seven years after our last adventure with Buzz Lightyear, Woody, and the rest of the *Toy Story* gang, they're all back — along with some new characters, specifically high-tech gadgets that are stealing kids' attention. This installment (in theaters) centers on cowgirl Jessie and her attempt to help her kid, Bonnie, make friends…friends who make fun of her for still playing with dolls, and who spend all day on their tablet, Lilypad. Leave it to the OGs (including 50 new versions of Buzz!), plus new additions that include a potty-training toy named Smarty Pants to save the day — and leave you in tears. —*Gerrad Hall, Editorial Director*

**After 30 years of *Toy Story*, Woody and Buzz face the tech age as a Pixar legend comes full circle**

House of the Dragon

Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) holds a crown on 'House of the Dragon' season 3

Emma D'Arcy as Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen on 'House of the Dragon' season 3.

The *Game of Thrones* prequel's third season (premiering Sunday on HBO) promises the Battle Above the Gods Eye, the bloodiest dragon-on-dragon clash yet in the war between Targaryens for the Iron Throne. Plus, we'll find out if Princess Rhaena finally gets her dragon — or it eats her. —*Debbie Day, Staff Editor*

***House of the Dragon* stars preview the Battle of the Gullet, ‘arguably the craziest episode of television ever made’**

Widow’s Bay

The Apple TV horror comedy, starring Matthew Rhys as the mayor of a cursed New England island town, just wrapped a perfect first season with an ominous finale. If you're dying for more, there's good news: The Katie Dippold-created series was greenlit for a second season. —*Tiffany Kelly, Staff Editor*

***Widow’s Bay* season 1 ending explained: Is the curse lifted?**

Maddie’s Secret

Deliciously plotted and deliriously funny, *Search Party* standout John Early's directorial debut (in select theaters) packs all the heart — plus all the craven, manipulative menace — of an after-school special into one wicked, surprisingly profound package. —*Ryan Coleman, News Writer*

Curtis Mayfield’s Super Fly

The best Blaxploitation film soundtrack ever (yeah, we said it) gets a limited-edition, high-fidelity vinyl reissue complete with a gatefold sleeve and new liner notes. There are only 5,000 copies available directly from Rhino Records, so get your hands on this super fly product ASAP. —*Dalton Ross, Editorial Director*
