Ghostface is set to take his killing rampage to the Big Apple. Paramount just released its trailer for Scream VI, and this ride is definitely different from the other installments.

Still, it seems like too great of a gig to not consider if you've got what it takes to fly the streaming skies.

Plant-based meat giant Beyond Meat's reign over the fast food world continues, as McDonald's announced that it is expanding its test of Beyond's McPlant burger, to nearly 600 restaurants, an increase from the eight that it's been testing in since November.
