Now that we're in the season of haunts, here's my interview with the director of "Good Boy."

The horror movie, now in theaters, is told entirely from a dog's point of view.

Does seeing the ocean for the first time in a long time count as belated summer vacation? Also saw Jeremy Allen White. I think this guy was telling him how many episodes of β€œThe Bear” he had left to watch.

Longtime NJ Advance Media sports reporter Todderick Hunt dies at age 44 Todderick Hunt was a pioneer on New Jersey's high school and college football recruiting scene.

So sad to hear that Todderick Hunt has died. This is the second death of a reporter at our company in the last 5 months. Both Todderick and Matt Arco were in the prime of their lives, at 44 and 39. Their deaths come after the death of a colleague 2 yrs ago www.nj.com/sports/2025/...

Here's a 1980 photo of Alex Winter from The Star-Ledger, taken when he was 15, during his run in "Peter Pan" on Broadway. He would take the bus from New Jersey to perform in shows. In "Waiting for Godot" he returns nearly 45 years after leaving Broadway: www.nj.com/entertainmen... #WaitingforGodot

N.J.’s β€˜The Penguin’ star Cristin Milioti wins first Emmy. β€˜I love acting so much!’ she says in emotional speech. Milioti plays Mafia daughter and Gotham City upstart Sofia Falcone in the HBO drama.

When I talked to Cristin Milioti about "The Penguin" a year ago, I knew she had to win this. (If not, I would fully endorse Sofia Falone showing up with some muscle.)

So well deserved.
