Jenna Ortega is no stranger to irony. The actress has long had a knack for pointing to the irony and/or hypocrisy of any situation — be it plot or emotionally driven — on-screen. It's part of what has made her acting so compelling, landing her roles on TV series like You and in the slasher franchise Scream. And it's absolutely at the heart of her titular character from Netflix's Wednesday, Wednesday Addams.

Few directors have sparked the imagination of his fans quite like David Lynch. The director, with his at-times magical thinking, idiosyncratic storytelling, and darkly humorous take on the world, will forever be known as a legend thanks to his myriad creations, like Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, and more. And since his death earlier this year, the items of his life seem to hold a sort of talismanic quality to them, don't you think?

Elisabeth Moss is not saying goodbye to her character from The Handmaid's Tale just yet. Sure June, formerly Offred, and her cohort of rebelling handmaids have taken their proverbial final bow in the Hulu series' finale, but the actress insists that the story is not over yet. Could that be because Margaret Atwood's sequel novel, The Testaments, is also being turned into a television series from the same team behind the Moss-fronted series?
