The action legend is coming back to his most iconic franchises. Are we excited? Cautiously optimistic? Deeply skeptical? All of the above. Plus: The Bear will end after Season 5. What if the Oscars had a \"Best Casting\" category (and who would've won)? Trailers for The Boys final season, Beef Season 2, In the Grey, and the Lanterns DC series. And a WTF segment from JayTeeDee (Edit That Out podcast). This week's Checked Out reviews: Friendship (Apple TV+), War Machine (Netflix), and The Running Man (2025 version—perfect timing). Let's break it down. 🎬 TOPICS - SECTION 1: ARNOLD'S SEQUEL ANNOUNCEMENTS 🔫 Commando 2: Arnold confirms he's working on a sequel to Commando (1985). The original is a masterpiece of '80s action excess. Can a 2026 sequel capture that magic? Probably not, but we'll watch it anyway. 🦖 Predator (New Film): Another Predator movie. Arnold's involved in some capacity (producer? cameo? full return?). The Predator franchise has been hit-or-miss since 1987. Prey (2022) was great. Predator 2 (1990) was fun. Everything else? Questionable. Where does this fit? ⚔️ King Conan: Arnold has been trying to make this for 15+ years. It's the third Conan film (after Conan the Barbarian 1982 and Conan the Destroyer 1984). The concept: Old Man Conan as a king. If they actually make this, it could be amazing. Big \"if.\" Source: Variety 📺 TOPICS - SECTION 2: THE BEAR, BEST CASTING OSCAR, TRAILERS 🍳 The Bear to End After Season 5: FX announced The Bear will conclude with Season 5. The Jeremy Allen White/Ayo Edebiri culinary drama became a cultural phenomenon. Ending on their terms = smart move. Better to go out strong than overstay. We'll miss it.
