'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Dubs ‘Flight of a Navigator' as a 'Favorite Movie of All-Time'
Alan Ritchson may play the bruising star of the popular television series Reacher, but one of his favorite movies of all time comes from a very different genre.
During a recent video posted on Facebook, Ritchson explained what makes one specific science fiction-based film a go-to for the 42-year-old actor.
Although Ritchson has starred in multiple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, Fast X, and is slated to be in Runner and War Machine, the 1986 movie Flight of the Navigator holds a special place in his heart.
"I was watching one of my favorite movies of all time last night," Ritchson said. "I wanted to show my kids one of the greats, Flight of the Navigator."
Ritchson's comments do go along with the premise of his initial video, as David Freeman (Joey Cramer) is knocked unconscious for eight years. He hasn't aged at all when he wakes up. Shortly after, an alien spaceship comes to Earth, and its maps match David's brainwaves, as Collider detailed.
Based on Ritchson's immense knowledge of the film and how he cross-compared it, his comments in a video, which he tagged as "#instachurch" are a fun and unique way to get his feelings and point across.
It's become apparent with the Reacher star's social media postings that he's an open book when it comes to discussing God and many other important topics with his children.'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Dubs 'Flight of a Navigator' as a 'Favorite Movie of All-Time' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 6, 2025

'Ted Lasso' Fan Favorite Brett Goldstein Calls Season 4 Announcement a ‘Relief'
Brett Goldstein has emerged as one of the many beloved characters in the Apple TV+ hit series Ted Lasso. He portrays the popular player-turned-coach Roy Kent, who has a gritty personality and doesn't love small talk. It seems Goldstein's disinterest in small talk during the show may translate to real life in some ways, specifically when it comes to being asked questions about Ted Lasso's future From the sound of it, Goldstein didn't exactly love fielding the constant questions on the topic of whether Ted Lasso would even return for a Season 4, before the news was officially revealed. He made that much known during a recent interview with Variety. When the topic of Goldstein no longer having to address the questions about the show's future when they arose, it sounds like they were tougher on him than the current queries he gets. "That is such a relief," Goldstein said of no longer having to answer questions about the show's future. Goldstein, who plays Louis on the hit show Shrinking, is also an executive producer and writer for the show. While he's in the same boat as the rest of the Ted Lasso cast, having to remain tight-lipped on Season 4, he did call it "exciting" to be back with the rest of the show's actors. "Obviously, I can't tell you a single thing about it, of course, but we're working on it, and it's good," he says. "It's exciting to have everyone back together." One thing fans can rejoice in is the fact that they'll be treated to more of Roy Kent in the upcoming season. Unfortunately, no specific release date has been set, but filming was slated to begin mid-July.'Ted Lasso' Fan Favorite Brett Goldstein Calls Season 4 Announcement a 'Relief' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 18, 2025

'The Boys' Jensen Ackles Excited for Reunion With ‘Supernatural' Co-Star in Season 5
When the 15-season run of the popular series Supernatural came to a close, many fans were disappointed for several reasons. One was that the duo of Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) and Jared Padalecki (Sam) would be no more. However, Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, who also leads the way in the hit Amazon Prime Video series The Boys, ensured that wouldn't be the case. Padalecki was cast in the upcoming Season 5 of The Boys, and previously revealed to TV Insider that he would be featured in the same storyline, frame and interacting with Ackles, along with another Supernatural co-star, Misha Collins. 'It's a blast," Kripke said. "We already shot it. I will confirm that Jared, Jensen, and Misha are all in the same frame together, and in the same storyline, and interacting with each other.' While speaking with Collider about his new series, Countdown, Ackles addressed the reunion with his former co-star, Padalecki, on The Boys, and the excitement about working together again was obvious. 'There's a reason he and I did that show for 15 years because we truly got along, we truly enjoy working together, and we're effectively brothers in real life, too," Ackles said. "So anytime we get a chance to mix it up and do stuff, it's always a blast. He's the best. You can put us two in front of anything; we'll get the job done.' It's exciting for fans of both Supernatural and The Boys, and it goes without saying, but the rapport between Ackles and Padalecki almost certainly picked up right where it left off in 2020.'The Boys' Jensen Ackles Excited for Reunion With 'Supernatural' Co-Star in Season 5 first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 20, 2025

Prime Video has announced eight new cast members for Reacher Season 4, the hit series based on Lee Child's bestselling novels. With Alan Ritchson back as the badass drifter-turned-enforcer, this season is diving into Gone Tomorrow , the 13th book in the series. Among the newest additions we have Jay Baruchel ( Fubar ), who plays Jacob Merrick, a small-town cop whose path crosses with Reacher. Sydelle Noel ( GLOW ) plays Tamara Green, a sharp detective out of Philadelphia. She'll be paired with Kevin Corrigan ( Poker Face ) as her partner, Detective Docherty. Meanwhile, Agnez Mo steps into the role of Lila Hoth, a young Indonesian woman searching for her American biological father. Her mother, Amisha Hoth, will be played by Indonesian-French singer Anggun (Levitating). On the recurring side, Kevin Weisman ( Marvel's Runaways ) plays Russell Plum, a D.C.-based freelance journalist with his eye on a possible CIA black site. Marc Blucas ( My Life with the Walter Boys ) will portray Congressman John Samson, with Kathleen Robertson ( The Expanse ) as his wife, Elsbeth. Season 4 kicks off with a tense encounter on a late-night train that spirals into a dangerous conspiracy involving political power players and covert ops. Gone Tomorrow follows Reacher back into the chaos of New York City and Washington, D.C., where he witnesses something disturbing on a late-night subway: a woman showing all the signs of a potential suicide bomber. Reacher doesn't back away. He confronts her. But before he can get real answers, she pulls out a gun and ends her own life right in front of him. From there, things spiral into a dark conspiracy involving the Pentagon, buried secrets, and people who really don't want Reacher asking questions.
