Following the Kevin Costner fiasco on the flagship Yellowstone series, Taylor Sheridan immediately began talking up a new spinoff for the hit western franchise starring Matthew McConaughey. You might want to hold your horses on that one, and dear God, why did no one stop me from making that pun? I thought we were friends! Anyway, according to a new report, McConaughey is ready to walk because the deal is taking way too long. He’s also not a fan of behind-the-scenes drama, which is practically Taylor Sheridan’s signature move at this point. (Life & Style)

Wicherwill appreciates that Brandon Sanderson doesn’t make her feel bad for reading Yumi and the Nightmare Painter before reading all the other Cosmere books. “They stand alone, or weave together, and in each case you’re not meant to feel bad…The story holds through regardless, which is a sign of a writer who gets it.” Have you been reluctant to attempt this sprawling series?

Is there such a thing as too much wholesomeness? No. No, there is not. This warmed my cold dead heart. Hope it does the same for you.
