Jon Snow's fate 'spilled' by new Inside Amy Schumer season 4 promo


If you, like many others, are dying with curiosity about the fate of Game of Thrones‘ beloved Jon Snow, Amy Schumer is here on a literal white horse to save you with her theory. No guarantees as far as accuracy, but the new Inside Amy Schumer season 4 promo, released today, reveals Schumer’s take on the HBO series’ season 5 cliffhanger.

Drawing inspiration from Game of Thrones, the teaser features Schumer, looking like she rode off the set of the fantasy drama series, with two older men wearing furs at her horse’s side. “On April 21, Inside Amy Schumer returns, and no spoilers, but Jon Snow is definitely alive,” she says. After a noticeable pause, she adds, “Because he said no to doing our show.”

While the theory’s reasoning may be more influenced by comedy than fact, the promo does underscore the severity of the obsession over whether or not Jon Snow is alive. The character, played by actor Kit Harington, was (spoiler alert!) left to die in the season 5 finale, and Snow has been the subject of intense speculation ever since. Schumer’s take on the issue doesn’t align with that of Harington, who has insisted he’s off the show. However, on a series where anything can (and does) happen, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Inside Amy Schumer host proven right.

Fans will get more of Schumer’s risqué brand of humor when the Comedy Central series returns for its fourth season in just weeks. The sketch comedy, which features frequent guest stars, has been nominated for several Emmys over the course of its three seasons, with Schumer earning a Peabody Award in 2014. In spite of her success, though, the comedian insists in the new promo that “fame hasn’t change [her],” quipping that the horse is just the Uber that picked her up.

Inside Amy Schumer season 4 premieres on April 21 at 10:00 pm ET on Comedy Central.

The Flash director says the film failed because people ‘don’t care’ about the DC hero
Barry Allen runs through the Speed Force in The Flash.

It's been nearly two years since The Flash hit theaters in 2023, and the film remains one of the most infamous bombs in recent comic book movie history. Its director, Andy Muschietti, isn't confused about why the film failed, though. During an interview on Radio Tu’s La Baulera del Coso, Muschietti said that he believes The Flash performed so poorly because it wasn't as widely appealing as everyone, including himself and its producers at Warner Bros. Pictures, hoped it would be.

"The Flash failed, among all the other reasons, because it wasn’t a movie that appealed to all four quadrants. It failed at that,” Muschietti argued. “When you spend $200 million making a movie, [Warner Bros.] wants you to bring even your grandmother to the theaters.”

Sebastian Stan says Thunderbolts is Marvel’s Breakfast Club
Bucky Barnes stands in the desert in Marvel's Thunderbolts.

Marvel Studios may have released only one film last year, but it has three theatrical titles coming in 2025. The movies in question -- February's Captain America: Brave New World, May's Thunderbolts*, and July's The Fantastic Four: First Steps -- all promise to move the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Multiverse Saga forward in their own unique ways. The three also seem very different from each other. Brave New World, for instance, is being marketed as a paranoid political thriller, while Fantastic Four has seemingly adopted a retro-futuristic, '60s-inspired aesthetic.

As for Thunderbolts*, one of the film's stars says that it has more in common with a classic 1980s coming-of-age dramedy than comic book fans may expect. "Thunderbolts* is really interesting because it was so fun, man," Sebastian Stan, who is set to make his MCU return as Bucky Barnes in the forthcoming film, revealed during his recent appearance on Variety's Awards Circuit Podcast. "I'm curious to see how people are going to respond [to it] because the closest [film] that comes [to mind] is that movie The Breakfast Club."

5 years ago, this sci-fi Alien rip-off drowned at the box office. Is it worthy of reappraisal?
The aqua suits in the movie Underwater

Five years ago in January 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic started to make its first headlines, a different kind of disaster arrived in movie theaters: Underwater. The movie starred Kristen Stewart, and based on the trailers, it looked to pay homage to older sci-fi horror classics. Yet Underwater turned out to be a super clunky, visually murky, and ill-paced film about a deep-sea mining station at the bottom of the Mariana Trench that inadvertently wakes up a giant deep-sea monster.

In theory, Underwater should have been enjoyable. Even if it added nothing to the genre and was just a poor homage to Alien, Cloverfield, and The Abyss, it should have been at least derivative fun. But it wasn't, and audiences stayed away from the big-budget film. So what went wrong, and is Underwater worth watching five years later now that it's available to stream at home?
