There’s never been a season of The Walking Dead quite like this one. With six additional episodes added on as an epilogue to its original finale, season 10 will go down as the longest season in the show’s history. This, of course, wasn’t the plan, but when the Covid-19 pandemic forced productions to grind to a halt last March, AMC had to figure out how to shoot its popular zombie drama safely, while also considering what kind of material it could realistically film when crowded hordes of walkers in tight spaces are no longer an option.

What are chestnuts roasting on an open fire, if not massive fire hazards? As the human animal has demonstrated time and time again, there’s probably not much we can do to mitigate the dangers of the winter holidays. Brittle,…

Guy Beahm, the uber-popular streamer better known as Dr DisRespect, made his return to live streaming on Aug. 7, broadcasting on his YouTube channel more than a month after he was banned from Twitch.

But Beahm also took a much more serious…
