Watch The New Twilight Zone Reboot’s First Episode For Free, Right Now

If you’re curious about Jordan Peele’s new The Twilight Zone TV series remake, you can watch the first episode for free. The show will be normally available exclusively through CBS All Access, but the first episode is currently live on the streaming service’s YouTube channel for all to see.

The first episode of The Twilight Zone is titled “The Comedian,” and it follows the tragic tale of Samir, a comedian struggling to connect with his audience with his humor. One day he’s offered a solution: add a little bit of himself to his routine and he’ll get the laughs he wants. However, once that part of his life has been turned into a joke, it will leave his life for good. Samir believes this warning is merely figurative, but as this is an episode of The Twilight Zone, of course it’s anything but.

“The Comedian” premiered alongside “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet,” which is itself a remake of one of the original The Twilight Zone’s most memorable episodes, titled “Nightmare at 20,000 Feet.” This new version of the classic episode replaces the story of a gremlin trying to take down an airplane–which only the protagonist and the audience can see–with one of a man frantically trying to prevent a plane crash he’s learned about through a podcast that’s seemingly from the future. “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet” is only available through CBS All Access right now.

The Twilight Zone comes from the mind of Jordan Peele, who also serves as the new series’ host and narrator. His production company, Monkeypaw, is producing the show. Other cast members for the The Twilight Zone include Ike Barinholtz, John Cho, Lucinda Dryzek, Taissa Farmiga, Greg Kinnear, Luke Kirby, Sanaa Lathan, Kumail Nanjiani, Adam Scott, Rhea Seehorn, Alison Tolman, Jacob Tremblay, Jefferson White, Jonathan Whitesell, Jessica Williams, DeWanda Wise and Steven Yeun.

Although “The Comedian” represents The Twilight Zone’s willingness to approach new subjects, the show will continue to remake episodes from the original series as well–just like “Nightmare at 30,000 Feet.” A reimagined version of “The Wunderkind” is already confirmed, but the details have not yet been released for other episodes. Similar to the original series, each episode of The Twilight Zone is a contained narrative, which covers a supernatural or science fiction event that befalls an ordinary person after they’ve accidentally stumbled into a mysterious dimension that the show’s narrator refers to as “not only of sight and sound, but of mind.” Although many are designed to provide a moral lesson, others were just plain spooky.

Wrestlemania: Someone May Win $1 Million If They Can Beat AJ Styles At WWE 2K19

When 2K released its latest installment of its wrestling series, WWE 2K19, there was an interesting challenge included in the game. If the player could beat an ultra-hard mode, they would have a chance to face WWE superstar AJ Styles in a one-on-one match, and if successful, they’d win $1 million. And the finals for the event will take place during Wrestlemania weekend.

On Friday, April 5, 2K and WWE will host the semifinals for the Million Dollar Challenge at Wrestlemania Axxess at Pier 12 in Brooklyn, New York. The finals will take place at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, and those who aren’t in attendance will be able to at least watch the finale, which is taking place during the NXT Takeover: Brooklyn preshow. At 6:30 ET, it will be streamed on multiple platforms: Fox Sports digital platforms, WWE Network, WWE on YouTube, WWE 2K on Facebook and Twitter, on-demand after air on the USA Network.

During the event, WWE superstar Kofi Kingson, Big E, Paige, Ember Moon, and the Miz will be in attendance to coach the final four participants. The winner of the challengers will then take on AJ Styles one-on-one. If they win, they’ll be awarded with $1 million. Gregory Davis from Jacksonville, Florida; Stephan T. Benson from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; David Hoey from Sydney, Australia; and Roman Droßard from Pfalzfeld, Germany are the final four that will compete in this tournament.

Top 10 UK Games Chart: Yoshi’s Crafted World Beats Division 2 And Sekiro To No.1

It’s a somewhat busy time for new game releases, and one of those new titles claims top spot in the UK physical sales chart this week. Nintendo’s new Switch platformer Yoshi’s Crafted World was the best-selling game in the UK for the week ending March 30, according to sales monitor Chart-Track.

Crafted World becomes the first Yoshi game ever to get to No.1 in the UK, though it was a close battle this week–the Switch exclusive beat The Division 2 by just 63 copies, according to GamesIndustry.biz. Below those two games is last week’s No.1, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which falls two places to No.3.

The other new entries are Assassin’s Creed III: Remastered, which debuts at No.9, Generation Zero at No.19, Telltale’s The Walking Dead: The Final Season at No.23, and Outward at No.24.

Yoshi’s new game has enjoyed a positive critical reception, including an 8/10 in GameSpot’s Yoshi’s Crafted World review. “Yoshi’s Crafted World is at its best when it’s relaxing and pleasant,” wrote Kallie Plagge. “The 2D-to-3D level design keeps you curious while the go-at-your-own-pace approach keeps the pressure off and leaves you to appreciate the small, imaginative details. Its most interesting ideas never evolve past their first introductions and are frequently confined to one or two levels, but individually, those levels both reward your curiosity and your willingness to slow down and look at what’s around you–and it’s those simple pleasures that provide the most joy.”

Rainbow Six Siege Event Transforms Plane into a Rainbow Magic Land

Ubisoft has given Rainbow Six Siege a colourful makeover, transforming the classic Plane map into a Toy Story-style world with neon-bright characters and child-friendly wallpaper.

The Rainbow is Magic mode runs for seven days, and introduces a new version of the Hostage game type with a completely re-skinned Plane map. The toy theme of the map sees everything shrunk down to action figure size, with the airport environment typically surrounding the plane replaced by a child’s bedroom, complete with toy cars.

Inside the plane, walls look closer to Lego blocks than metal bulkheads, and breakable surfaces are adorned with cute wallpaper designs. The hostage is dressed in a teddy bear costume, while the Rainbow operators themselves now look like toy soldiers.
