The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey is currently promoting his newest movie-musical, A Better Man, which is generating buzz for, ahem, obvious reasons—the foremost of which is that it stars a dancing, CGI monkey played in part by one of the U.K.’s most prolific pop artists, Robbie Williams.

I haven’t heard enough people talking about The Agency, which, despite my distaste for the political-thriller genre, is well on track to be one of my new favorite shows—and it should definitely be on your radar because it’s only getting better and better.

There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding Ali Abbasi’s Sebastian Stan-fronted Trump biopic, The Apprentice. And yet, so many Hollywood stars, studio execs, and media outlets are hesitant to comment on the film due to its contentious subject matter—something star Maria Bakalova is well aware of. From the get-go, The Apprentice was bound to be divisive.

As of now, 35 thousand acres remain ablaze, and over 10 thousand structures have been destroyed between the Palisades Fire on the west side and the Eaton Fire near Altadena in the east.

Paramount Pictures’ journo-drama September 5 is earning critical acclaim this awards cycle, and for a good reason. So it only makes sense that its director, writers, and stars made sure to get the details right when retelling the harrowing events of the 1972 Summer Olympics from the POV of the control room. Journalism dramas are often awards season darlings, and so far, September 5 is no exception.

FX’s historical epic Shōgun was nominated in four categories at last night’s Golden Globes, and to no one’s surprise, it was a full sweep. With first-time winner Anna Sawai making a particularly strong impression during her turn as Lady Mariko, fans are now wondering: is it possible she’ll return for season 2? Warning!

The release of Amazon MGM Studios’ highly-anticipated sports drama The Fire Inside is right around the corner. And according to co-stars Brian Tyree Henry and Ryan Destiny, it’ll subvert your expectations of what a boxing movie can be while still maintaining the sports genres’ unique charm. I don’t think there’s anything quite as unifying as a good sports movie. Take the Rocky saga, for one, or ’90s feel-good flicks like A League of Their Own.

If you were to tell me a week ago that Emmy Award winner Jeremy Allen White had been tapped for an upcoming Star Wars project, I probably would’ve believed you. What I still can’t seem to fully digest, however, is that the upper echelon at Lucasfilm picked him, of all people, to voice a Hutt. Star Wars, you’re crazy for this.

Donald Trump just gave his first broadcast interview since Election Day and it went about as miserably as expected. But perhaps none of his talking points were as baffling as his plans for dealing with the January 6 Committee—a.k.a., congress members who are…literally just doing their job? Nearly four years later, MAGA loyalists are still finding ways to deny and/or underplay the events of January 6, 2021.
