Set in the 1970s, Kong: Skull Island follows a team of soldiers, scientists, and explorers who join forces to determine whether a unique ecosystem exists on a remote, mysterious isle.

Over twenty years have passed since Full House ended its original run, but it’s still freakishly easy to reenter the Tanner universe. The first episode of Fuller House finds newly widowed DJ Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure) visiting the family home with her own children, three boys who are roughly...
