Introducing Selma Blair is in theaters for a limited release with digital streaming on Discovery+ on Oct. 21, 2021.

Of the actresses that came to attention in the early aughts, Selma Blair is arguably one of the few that was known more for the “type” she played rather than her celebrity off-screen. She played prim and pretty, with a dash of darkness, in films like Cruel Intentions and Legally Blonde with supporting character aplomb. And while she graced plenty of magazine covers, there was never truly a sense of who she was outside of her work. The documentary Introducing, Selma Blair finally reveals the acerbic, funny, resourceful woman underneath the Hollywood gaze as she endures the pain and uncertainty of an experimental stem cell transplant to improve her debilitating multiple sclerosis symptoms.

Directed by first-time documentarian Rachel Fleit, Blair allows cameras to exist alongside her as she navigates her once cozy Los Angeles abode throughout 2019. The lush, multi-tiered home is quickly revealed to now be a beautiful series of obstacles for the single mother/actress diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018.

In a stellar introduction, a handheld camera frames the relatively spry and extremely witty Blair in her bedroom, putting on her Norma Desmond-like makeup for a talking head interview. As the camera and actress transition to her backyard, she is animated and limber telling her life story. All is well until Blair’s emotional support dog hops away, and in the span of a second, Blair is hit by waves of spasms and a complete inability to articulate with ease anymore. Brought to sobbing tears, we are made witness to what living with MS looks like in all of its harrowing distress.

Fleit and Blair set the tone with that opening as the actress reveals what her existence is now, how it evolved to this point, and how treatment has both helped and failed her ability to function normally. Using a mix of intimate handheld footage interspersed with clips from her films for context and intimate talking heads from those in her small circle of helpers and friends, the doc is well aware that the most compelling focal point is Blair herself. The camera can’t help but frame her naturally photogenic face beautifully, but the realities of living with chronic pain bring out Blair’s true self in a way we’ve never seen her in movie or TV roles. With the disease making it impossible anymore for Blair to lean on the icy demeanor that was once her cinematic forte, we get to witness the woman she’s been holding back, and she’s beyond impressive.

As with any person facing a turning point in their life, the doc allows Blair to work out in real time some lifelong issues she’s forced to face, like her dysfunctional, formative relationship with her mother, her admitted lack of ambition with her career, and the fear of not getting to see her son grow up. With her decision to undertake an expensive and still unproven transplant in Chicago, Blair hands off her beloved son to his father and closes up her home to travel for weeks of isolating medical procedures that will essentially reboot her entire immune system from zero in hopes of restoring mobility and the acute inflammation of the disease.

The camera is a fly on the wall for almost all of the steps of her prep, transplant, and recovery, documenting the pain, fear, and moments of peace she embraces in facing down her mortality. But all the while, she’s also staggeringly funny. Blair’s gallows humor and lightning-fast riffs on the indignities of the disease make her all the more endearing as she navigates the schizophrenic nature of her new normal with MS. Allowing the camera to see all parts of herself isn’t just personally brave, but more importantly, it’s a brutally honest exposé for those who will follow in her footsteps. As they say, the fear of the unknown is half the battle, but Blair’s unflinching portrayal of this process shines a light for future patients who will be faced with it, now armed with the depth and breadth of what’s in store. It’s vanguard medical anthropology made accessible now to everyone interested to know.

While Blair’s outcome is far from a fairy tale resolution, there’s hope and inspiration from her journey that will be transformative for many. And for the actress who comes out the other side wiser, more grateful, and centered, it’s as powerful as documentary filmmaking can get.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is getting a bit of a visual update over its predecessor. While it keeps the gothic aesthetics of the first Darkest Dungeon, there’s a new “dimensionality” to the art style.

In the first real look at Darkest Dungeon 2, Red Hook Studios showed off a slick new visual style that is faithful to the first Darkest Dungeon but translates the world into 3D. Darkest Dungeon 2 will feature 3D environments and gameplay portions, but the combat and characters still retain the 2D look.

Check out the trailer below.

It’s a successful way to update the character models without losing any of the artistic elements that made the original visual style so beloved. By adding new 3D models while keeping the hand-drawn look of the original, Darkest Dungeon 2 gets the best of both worlds.

Darkest Dungeon 2 is set to be released for Epic Games early access on October 26. Six classes from the first Darkest Dungeon will be returning for the sequel, as well as a tuned-up combat system that will build on top of the original.

The first look gameplay certainly did seem to keep in line with the original combat, but we’ll have to wait until we get our hands on the title to dig deeper into the full changes. In the meantime, check out IGN’s review of the first Darkest Dungeon.

Blizzard has revealed the new name for the Overwatch character formerly known as Jesse McCree: Cole Cassidy. The official renaming will take effect in-game on October 26.

Meet Cole Cassidy.

In the official tweet announcement, Blizzard appears to be acknowledging Cassidy's name change as part of the game's lore, referring to Cassidy as a character "running from his past" and ultimately choosing to "be honest with his team and himself" about who he really is.

Cassidy's renaming was initially announced in August. The character was formerly named after Blizzard employee Jesse McCree, who exited earlier that month alongside others amid ongoing allegations of harassment and abuse at the company.

"Going forward, in-game characters will no longer be named after real employees and we will be more thoughtful and discerning about adding real-world references in future Overwatch content."

Blizzard has since removed several other inappropriate references from World of Warcraft and renamed other characters who were named after similarly-departed developers.

These moves kicked off in response to a lawsuit filed in early August by the state of California, accusing Activision Blizzard of fostering a "frat boy" culture including sexual harassment, a toxic work environment, and unequal pay between men and women.

You Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix. Some plot points (but not major spoilers) discussed below.

After Season 2 of You ended abruptly following the big reveal of Love Quinn's (Victoria Pedretti) surprise pregnancy, it was clear the series was headed in a new, albeit uncomfortable direction. After learning of his impending fatherhood, Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) made what he felt was the life-affirming decision to ensure his relationship with Love worked, no matter what — including trading in the rough-and-tumble lifestyle he once lived as a book manager in New York and the new life he attempted to weave in Los Angeles. With Season 3, we see the fruits borne of those decisions, and how rotten they can truly be.

His first step was moving to the quiet California suburb of Madre Linda with new wife Love and son Henry. An idyllic, simple life for the cozy little family, with another new start for the obsessive, toxic Joe, or at least that’s what they all believed they’d be signing up for. But just like you can't take the country out of the cowboy, you can't take the serial killer out of Joe. Or Love, for that matter.

Season 3 makes it all too clear that suburban life in a small town isn't doing much to quell either Joe or Love's murderous impulses. From the very beginning, Joe ruminates over the faults with his "happily ever after," a recurring theme when we watch him struggling to deal with son Forty, er, Henry's birth and feigning excitement over living with the tiny son he thought would be a daughter. It’s tough for him, and he’s clearly going through the motions. His heart, as Love notes, isn’t in it.

Parenthood isn't immediately appealing to Joe, but he takes to being a protector like a duck to water, surprisingly enough given his propensity to kill. Unfortunately, there's no connection there, no bond with his child — and Joe knows it. The halcyon days of settling down with “the One” don’t seem to be happening here, with Joe quietly cursing his predicament and grappling with Love’s grief over brother Forty’s death as well as the hormones and adjustments she finds herself struggling with post-pregnancy. He tries to masquerade as a loving husband and father, but it’s clear this life isn’t for him, doing it out of a sense of duty rather than infatuation or personal responsibility.

There are bright pockets for Joe, who spends much of his personal time reminiscing on when he was a bookseller, and sends the profits he's made to Ellie in a surprisingly touching gesture. When he isn't thinking about his "old life," he's openly hating his new one. He laments how often Henry cries, how little he and Love leave the house, and all of the other frustrating things that come with being a parent. Meanwhile, Love is left to do much of the labor in terms of taking care of Henry, which leaves her haggard and frustrated, and noticing more and more how little Joe is actually “there.”

Meanwhile, Joe begins the season obsessed with neighbor Natalie, which openly frustrates Love — the catalyst for the pair needing to come to terms with who they really are, and what they’re going to have to do to stay together and maintain a relationship. For two cold-blooded, toxic killers and people in general, that’s a lot. Especially when there’s open derision between the two about some of the very things they used to be in love with each other for. It's bizarre that Joe shows revulsion toward Love's murderous tendencies when the two are so ridiculously similar. It's fine to deride Love for wanting to kill, as if Joe is some sort of innocent saint who's somehow been forced into a lasting relationship with a "monster."

The back-and-forth of Joe and Love feeling this way, playing off of each other as two very troublesome, terrible for the other foils, ping pongs throughout the season as Joe does something wrong and Love does something even worse in a bid to fight back continues to escalate throughout the series. And while they reconcile sometimes and learn to cope, things are never truly “better.” They sloppily murder people and hide bodies in some of the most preposterous ways possible, two amateurs slinging corpses around suburban California with a squealing infant in tow. It’s absolutely unbelievable that they’ve ever gotten away with a single crime before.

There's one major murder that the pair believes they've truly gotten away with that becomes the "big bad" of the season, but it comes with such an unbelievable setup and cover-up that it's obvious it'll become problematic in the long run. It absolutely does, and that’s about when this season goes off the rails entirely.

You may think you know exactly where Joe and Love will end up, but Season 3 is waiting in the weeds to outsmart you. It could have taken a sharp downturn had it continued focusing only on the domesticity between Joe and Love and their child. But thanks to some hilariously silly wild leaps, it ends up completely transforming into a story that feels almost unrecognizable by the end.

The miraculous thing? Season 3 of You remains absolutely addictive, exciting TV that you can’t look away from, no matter how stupid it gets.
