Kaley Cuoco tries to change Pete Davidson in Meet Cute trailer

If you’re looking for love from a man or a woman, it’s almost always going to be disappointing until you realize one thing: There are no perfect people. But there can be a perfect person for you, as long as you’re willing to accept someone, flaws and all. But in the new Peacock original film, Meet Cute, Kaley Cuoco’s Shelia just can’t be satisfied by Gary (Pete Davidson) even after a wonderfully charming first night together. So she keeps trying and trying to make it better … to make him “better,” through time travel.

The trailer reveals that Shelia’s time travel vehicle of choice is a literal tanning bed. But we can’t argue with the results. It clearly works, and it gives Shelia a chance to know Gary intimately through each of their multiple “first dates.” There is also a darker side to Shelia’s trips, as she has to essentially murder her alternate self in the past in order to assume their place in the new timeline.

Unfortunately for Shelia, she goes too far when it comes to molding Gary into her perfect man. Instead of simply reliving their first meeting over and over again, she starts changing Gary’s past in an effort to reshape his personality. However, the inherent problem is that the Gary she was attracted to is literally not the same person after she’s taken away his pain and other negative experiences. And once Gary knows the truth about what Shelia has done, his only response can be anger.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning trailer assembles a new team
The cast of Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

Since the first Mission: Impossible movie in 1996, Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt has either gone solo or kept a very close circle of friends as his team. Following the events of Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Ethan's team lost one member and gained another. And in the newly released Super Bowl trailer for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Ethan's team is adding two more unexpected members.

Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) have been around for multiple movies, while Dead Reckoning introduced a thief named Grace (Hayley Atwell) and gave her a redemption arc that ended with her joining the IMF. The new additions are more surprising, including Paris (Pom Klementieff), an assassin who appeared to be mortally wounded at the end of the last film. Apparently Paris is going to get some redemption of her own after working for Gabriel (Esai Morales) in the previous film.
