This week is all about celebrating boundary-pushing comedy. On Tuesday, here at EW we launched our cover with the Scary Movie cast reuniting for the first time in 25 years for a new film. I remember watching the first one and feeling like I was getting away with something I shouldn't have. The same goes for The Simpsons, which was actually banned in my house. So it was quite serendipitous that on Wednesday, my go-to mobile game, Monopoly Go!, launched its collaboration celebrating the no-chinned characters. You better believe I'll be rolling the dice in hopes of a Baby Maggie token. Wanna trade some stickers? D'oh, what have I become? —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

The Vampire Lestat

Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson smoldered through the first two seasons of AMC's supernatural period drama Interview With the Vampire. Season 3 has a new name and transports its brooding bloodsuckers to the present day, where Reid's petulant Lestat hijacks the narrative to right the perceived wrong done to him by the interview with Anderson's Louis, which outed the world's vampire population. Lestat's major mommy issues arise this season with the arrival of Gabriella (Jennifer Ehle). The lethal rogue otherwise struts through the latest chapter in Anne Rice's Immortal Universe as a rock & roll god in the vein of Ziggy Stardust–meets–Jim Morrison… with fangs. —Debbie Day, Staff Editor
