Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.

Her Alien: Earth coverage for ScreenRant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.

She was initially a finance and political editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.

During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

Matthew McConaughey is in trouble in a new trailer for The Rivals of Amziah King.

The Rivals of Amziah King is a crime drama set in Oklahoma that follows the titular beekeeper who runs a honey farm. When his estranged foster daughter suddenly decides to reconnect with him, Amziah takes her under his wing. However, his business is unfortunately in danger as rival companies attempt to sabotage him.

The first trailer for The Rivals of Amziah King has been released, giving audiences an early look at the upcoming drama thriller from Andrew Patterson. Starring McConaughey as the titular character alongside Angelina LookingGlass as Kateri, the film's trailer features honey theft, drama, and music set in a small town in Oklahoma.

The preview centers on McConaughey’s character, a respected local beekeeper who oversees a successful honey business while also leading a bluegrass band made up of quirky locals. The trailer reveals that Amziah is a well-respected businessman and generally loved by his community.

The trailer introduces LookingGlass as Amziah’s estranged foster daughter, who unexpectedly returns home after several years. Although their reunion is a little tense, he quickly offers her a job at his honey company, hoping that it could help them rebuild their relationship. The first look also shows her adjusting to life back in town as she learns more about the family business.

Things quickly go from heartwarming and sentimental to grim when a massive amount of honey suddenly goes missing. The theft throws off Amziah’s operation, and he goes searching for whoever is responsible. The trailer also depicts growing tension as McConaughey and LookingGlass' characters hunt down the thieves together.

The Rivals of Amziah King also has an impressive supporting cast starring alongside McConaughey and LookingGlass. The star-studded lineup consists of Cole Sprouse, Jake Horowitz, Tony Revolori, and Kurt Russell. The project is produced by David Heyman, Teddy Schwarzman, Jeffrey Clifford, Michael Heimler, James Montague, and Will Greenfield.

The Rivals of Amziah King will have a limited release on August 14, 2026, ahead of Black Bear Productions' broader theatrical release on August 21, 2026.
