Is murdering prostitutes in modern-day Iran the work of God? It is if you are the madman and religious fanatic carrying out a reign of serial-killer terror in the gripping and horrifying “Holy Spider” in the early 21-century city of Mashhad, the second most populous city in Iran and the location of the shrine of Imam Reza.

Director Ali Abbasi, co-writing with Afshin Kamran Bahrami, was inspired by the actual murders, which occurred while he was a student in Iran and by a 2002 documentary about the killer by Iranian-Canadian journalist Marziar Bahari. Abbasi, whose debut film was a Copenhagen-shot horror film named “Shelly” (2016), says his focus shifted from the serial killer to a fictional female journalist trying to find out why the police have been so ineffective in catching the killer.

Eleven years after the “Shrek 2” spinoff “Puss in Boots,” the sassy Spanish feline voiced by Antonio Banderas has returned for another fairy-tale-busting adventure, directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, and written by Paul Fischer (with a story by Tommy Swerdlow and Tom Wheeler). Crawford, Mercado and Fischer all worked on the Dreamworks Animation favorites “Trolls” and “The Croods: A New Age,” and the trio bring a similar “chaotic good” energy to “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” which remixes a new set of familiar nursery rhymes and beloved children’s fables to entertaining ends.

Our titular tabby is living a swashbuckler’s life, swilling leche, singing songs, saving towns, raking in the adoration and accolades, when he dies his eighth death, landing him on his ninth, and final, life. Spooked by a visit from the grim-reaping Big Bad Wolf (Wagner Moura), Puss decides to hangs up his hat and boots and head for retirement in the home of a crazy cat lady, Mama Luna (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).

'Carpool Karaoke: The Series'

Those who have jumped on the I-hate-James-Corden bandwagon will be relieved that the host is nowhere to be found in this batch of new episodes, based on the most popular segment from his late-night series. Instead, you get Sandra Oh geeking out over Duran Duran and Nikki Glaser harmonizing with members of Wilco. The singalongs hit some road bumps when the passengers aren't rock stars. Hillary Clinton admits that she has a terrible singing voice — and proves it — but her trip is saved when she and daughter Chelsea pick up next-door neighbor Vanessa Williams. Apple TV+

The first "Barbie" teaser trailer has arrived to disrupt our expectations of a movie based on a toy — much like Barbie apparently disrupted the baby doll industry.

Kody Brown and his "sister wives" are no more. At least for now.

Meri Brown, 51, of TLC's reality TV show "Sister Wives" confirmed this week that she has ended her 32-year marriage to Kody Brown, 53. She is the most recent partner to leave Kody.

Henry Cavill is hanging up his Superman cape — and not by choice, it would seem.

The 39-year-old actor, who has played Clark Kent in the DC Extended Universe since 2013, confirmed Wednesday via Instagram that he would "after all, not be returning as Superman" — despite recently announcing that he would reprise his role as the Man of Steel. He made it clear that new DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran made the decision to end his tenure as Superman.
