This article contains spoilers for "Saltburn."
Outside of Luca Guadagnino, nobody is making "vibes" movies like "Saltburn." Writer and director Emerald Fennell's follow-up to "Promising Young Woman" is just as provocative as her Oscar-winning feature directorial debut. The film is ostensibly a cross between "Brideshead Revisited" and "The Talented Mr. Ripley" ("Brideshead" author Evelyn Waugh is even named-dropped at one point), following a student at the University of Oxford -- one who goes by the Dickensian moniker of Oliver Quick, as played by Barry Keoghan -- as he latches onto a rich, popular peer named Felix (Jacob Elordi). However, for all its high-art influences, "Saltburn" is much less interested in themes about wealth and Britain's crumbling aristocracy than it is in luxuriant close-ups of its characters' body hair or montages of people glistening with sweat as they gyrate, party, or merely lounge about half (or fully) naked.

When Paramount+ brought Trek back to television in September 2017 with Star Trek: Discovery's double-decker premiere event, it broke ground on a road that would see the rebirth of the Trek franchise.
Six years later, Star Trek: Discovery has saved the galaxy multiple times; traveled through the mycelial network, to the Mirror Universe and back, forward in time nine hundred years, and beyond the edge of the known universe; and spawned the highly successful spin-off Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
In March, Paramount+ announced the fifth season will be the USS Discovery's final mission. We've gathered all the intel on what it'll entail, who's on board, and when you can expect to buckle up and hold on as Michael Burnham and her crew let 'er fly one last time.
