Releasing Conclave the day after the Pope’s death is something else. @amazonprime.bsky.social timed that drop like it had a seat at the Vatican.

My fan-heart is full to the brim with this stunning new Anne of Green Gables adaptation. It’s a cottagecore vision brought to life, true to the soft, windswept beauty of Prince Edward Island’s highlands, with colors that breathe like old film and fresh air.

We talked about separating the author from the text but should we talk about separating the fandom from a narrative they once loved? Will the new Harry Potter reboot collapse under the weight of its own legacy? Comments are off in every official social media, but the fandom is loud

Italian reality TV takes a step back. The Couple, a new 24/7 format, will reintroduce paid SMS-only voting to curb the influence of online fandoms seen in the last editions of Big Brother ITA.
A sign that when fandom becomes gameplay, producers must rethink the rules.

Adolescence.

Finally a celebrity who understands the gift economy of fandom.

Spotify, you’re just as obsessed with Sanremo as we are and I respect it.
Adding those iconic flowers to the listening bar?
Chef’s kiss.

Oh my cinephile heart!
In season 2 Helly is working on a file named Santa Mira. The fictional town from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
One of the questions on the movie posters read: 'Was this his woman?'

How do you explain Sanremo to a non-Italian? You don’t. The most iconic headline of the festival says it all: 'Sanremo is Sanremo.' It defies explanation. It just is.

Lady Gaga’s 'Abracadabra' is blowing up with 86.4K TikTok posts—16K in the last 24 hours. Somewhere, a Gen Alpha kid is about to have their life changed, just like we did. Full circle. And back to the future.

Lost walked so Severance could run.
“Everything is connected” just hit differently.
Severance 2 episode 4 they will never make me hate you.

Harry Styles didn’t make it to Italy’s prime-time quiz L’eredità because of his music career—but because he was seen shopping at Porta Portese. Global pop icon turned local market trivia. You can’t make this stuff up.

A ‘BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER’ revival series is in the works at Hulu.
Sarah Michelle Gellar returning as Buffy but as recurring” (not lead).
Chloé Zhao to direct the pilot.

Now. What about the number 1 Buffy fan (read: Spike)?

At least we will see a revival in fan edits…

The #Boyzone doc #nomatterwhat but also every other content about boybands/girlbands make me wonder: Are we ready to seriously talk about what this type of fandom have been built on? The exploitation, the emotional investments, the manufactured intimacy, the broken trust #musicfandom #boyband #fan

One of this year’s competitors, Achille Lauro, was asked to pick his Fantasanremo team. Among his choices? Emis Killa (who recently dropped out due to a criminal investigation) and Fedez.

Watching #Severance today feels like watching #Lost in 2004—rewriting what TV can be. Season 2 Ep 1 & 2 open with the same scene from two perspectives, and their opening sequences? Perfectly synchronized. And Ep 3 introduces a sequence that any other TV series would have used as season finale. 🧵

It’s fascinating to see how broadcast TV’s biggest shows and stars are being reimagined as content for platforms like #Netflix and #Prime #missitalia #missitalianondevemorire
