This Is How Long Brian Cox Thinks Succession Will Continue HBO By Shania Russell/June 13, 2022 8:32 am EST As a wise woman once said, watching the Roy family melt down is one of the most deeply satisfying activities on the planet. For three seasons, viewers have been cackling maniacally at the clumsy maneuvers, vulgar insults, and Shakespearean-level folly “Succession” has beautifully perfected. Watching a gaggle of wealthy elites duke it out for ownership of a giant media conglomeration may not sound like a compelling watch, but if you’ve been on the internet for more than an hour, you’ve probably heard of the addictive power of HBO’s witty drama....

Tokyo Vice Executive Producer Alan Poul On Filming In Tokyo And The Possibility Of Season 2 [Interview] HBO Max By Ben Pearson/April 7, 2022 10:12 am EST It’s been over 10 years since Michael Mann (“Heat,” “Thief”) directed the pilot episode of HBO’s ill-fated series “Luck,” but he’s returning to the small screen with a new crime drama for HBO Max called “Tokyo Vice.” Mann directed the pilot episode of this slick new show, which is based on the true story of Jake Adelstein (Ansel Elgort), an American journalist who moves to Tokyo and becomes the first foreign-born writer on the staff of one of the city’s top newspapers....

TV, Interrupted: Why GLOW Deserved Another Round In The Ring Netflix By Jeremy Mathai/Jan. 9, 2022 11:24 am EST (Welcome to TV, Interrupted, a series where the /Film team remembers, eulogizes, and makes a case for the revival of TV shows we loved that were canceled far too soon.) Nobody ever said being an entertainment junkie would be smooth sailing all the time. Whom among us can’t relate to the whirlwind rush of discovering a new show, quickly getting way too invested in the characters and ongoing storylines, urging all our friends and family to share in its joys along with us … only to find out one day that the series has been slated for cancelation, before the major arcs could be fully wrapped up....

5 Brilliant Philip Baker Hall Movies And Where You Can Watch Them New Line Cinema By Witney Seibold/June 13, 2022 4:29 pm EST Actor Philip Baker Hall was masterful at creating characters that were simultaneously gruff and wounded. Many of his characters read as sad, and often relatably pathetic. No matter how young he was in a role, he could communicate that his character has led a long, interesting life....

A Manual For Cleaning Women: Cate Blanchett To Lead Pedro Almodóvar’s First English-Language Feature Searchlight Pictures By BJ Colangelo/Jan. 8, 2022 11:13 am EST I don’t know what kind of good karma points my fellow gays and I cashed in to deserve this, but the cinema gods have truly bestowed upon us the greatest gift imaginable. The brilliant Pedro Almodóvar, director of deliciously perverse films like “Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down!...

Aliens Character Vasquez Gets The Respect She Deserves With A Solo Book About Her Backstory By Kaylee Dugan/March 25, 2022 8:29 am EST Your girl Jenette Vasquez is finally getting the fully fleshed-out backstory she deserves. I mean, there’s probably plenty of fan fiction out there that covers all of the bases (and a few bases you never would have imagined), but it’s still nice to see the ripped, bandana-wearing Xenomorph killer become the subject of a new “Aliens” book....

Andor Trailer: The Doomed Star Wars Spy Heads To Disney+ Lucasfilm By Ryan Scott/May 26, 2022 2:35 pm EST Disney+ Day has brought the goods for “Star Wars” fans in the form of a brand new trailer for “Andor.” The upcoming show, which has been in the works for several years now, will return to a galaxy far, far away to bring us more adventures with Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor. We first met the character in 2016’s “Rogue One” and now, he’s getting his very own show....

Atlanta Season 3 Teaser: Let’s Get Weird, Mysterious, Kind Of Disturbing FX By Jeremy Mathai/Jan. 13, 2022 1:36 pm EST The best show on television (an objective measurement rigorously debated, tested, and voted on by … me!) is almost back and it looks to be as weird, idiosyncratic, abrasive, and entertaining as ever — if not even more so. Fans of FX’s “Atlanta” need no reminder of just how long we’ve all been waiting for the next season of the smash-hit Donald Glover series to finally land on our TV screens....

‘His taste is mostly ’90s, and then Parks and Recreation’ Paramount Pictures Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, Schwartz said he tried to focus his pop culture references in “Sonic the Hedgehog” to the 1990s, because we see the character reading comics and using devices from around that era in his little cave, like tape decks and CD players. Schwartz said: “A lot of my references that I try to do, you’ll see a lot of quotes from movies that came out in the ’90s....

A Golden Goddess David Livingston / Getty Images White is known most prominently for her roles on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Golden Girls,” and “Hot in Cleveland,” but her remarkable gifts made her a celebrity staple on game shows, commercials, variety shows, radio, television guest spots, theatre, and movie cameos. Listing all of her accomplishments feels like trying to measure an immeasurable life, and an impact that goes far beyond entertainment credits....

Breaking Down The Best Scene In Get Out Universal Pictures By Michael Boyle/May 5, 2022 9:23 am EST Jordan Peele’s debut horror film, “Get Out,” is one of the most tightly paced, smartly written horror films ever made. The film follows Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), a young Black man visiting his white girlfriend Rose’s (Allison Williams) family for the weekend. Although the family is outwardly welcoming, their weird racial remarks toward him and their overall strangeness stop seeming like nervous white liberal overcompensation, but something much darker....

Bruce Lee Was A ‘Trojan Horse’ For Be Water’s Broader Message United Archives By Jeremy Smith/June 24, 2022 1:47 pm EST Bruce Lee has been gone for nearly 50 years, but his legacy looms as large as ever in the American cultural consciousness.

At the end of the third season, Princess Tiabeanie, or “Bean,” was crowned Queen of Dreamland after saving it from destruction yet again. Bean (voiced by Abbi Jacobson) is not a perfect ruler by any means, but she truly does care about her subjects, including her strange little elf buddy Elfo (Nat Faxon) and her personal demon, Luci (Eric André)....

Holt McCallany Put His Body Through The Wringer Preparing For Mindhunter Netflix By Miyako Pleines/May 2, 2022 1:50 pm EST Hollywood is filled with stories about actors deliberately gaining or losing weight in order to play a specific part.

How The Boys’ Writers Keep Themselves From Crossing A Line Prime Studios By Danielle Ryan/June 10, 2022 4:12 pm EST The superhero satire “The Boys” is incredibly over-the-top in every way. It’s ridiculously violent, features enough nudity to give your grandma palpitations, and has enough creative swearing to make a censor weep. Each season has been more outrageous than the last, so how do the people who make “The Boys” know when they’ve crossed the line and taken a gag too far?...

Hustle Review: A Predictable Underdog Sports Story That Still Manages To Charm Netflix By Chris Evangelista/June 2, 2022 9:00 pm EST It seems to happen every few years. Adam Sandler will emerge from his wacky, irreverent comedies that double as all-expense-paid vacations for himself and his buddies and make a serious movie. The type of movie that reminds us that Sandler is actually a pretty darn good actor when he wants to be....

John Mulaney Joins Five-Timers Club As SNL Host In February NBC By Deshawn “DeLa Doll” Thomas/Jan. 30, 2022 5:16 pm EST For a while, it seemed as though stand-up-comedian John Mulaney had been making headlines for his tumultuous personal life rather than his career. This time, however, the first-time father and comedian is making waves for his upcoming “Saturday Night Live” hosting gig. February 26 will not only mark Mulaney’s first gig since the birth of his and Olivia Munn’s son, Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney, back in November; it will also mean that Mulaney will become a member of the show’s elite Five-Timers Club....
