There’s nothing quite like a nice, stiff drink to pair with the ending of an epic show like “The Walking Dead.” As the long running AMC flagship show comes to an end, the channel has partnered with The Sexton Single Malt to release a limited edition celebratory bottle to commemorate the show’s end. Cast member Ross Marquand, who plays Aaron on the show (and also played Stonekeeper Red Skull in “Avengers: Endgame”), is a whiskey aficionado, and will serve as the collaborative brand ambassador. The bottle features “The Walking Dead” imagery that wraps around the distinctive hexagon bottle design. A…

The midnight section of the Sundance Film Festival often sports some of the most talked about films from the event. It may not get a ton of awards at the festival’s conclusion, but viewers often have a lot to say about them, and “Fresh” is no exception. Luckily for the rest of us, the new horror film not only gets a fresh (pun intended) new trailer, but a release date on Hulu as well. The film stars Daisy Edgar Jones and Sebastian Stan (as you’ve never seen him before and that includes his run as Tommy Lee in “Pam &…
