It’s been a while since we’ve seen an over-the-top, goofy, self-aware Black comedy like The Gutter. The flick almost feels nostalgic in its gleeful embrace of 2000s slapstick hilarity.

Shameik Moore portrays the lovably doofy Walt – a dimwit would find his calling through bowling.

Last week, I had the opportunity to speak to Byron Bowers, Josiah Cross, and Y’Lan Noel from Apple TV+’s new show, Lady in the Lake. Starring Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram, Lady in the Lake is an adaptation of Laura Lippman’s bestselling 2019 novel from director Alma Har’el. The show is a feverish noir thriller that follows Maddie Schwartz (Natalie Portman), a Jewish housewife who becomes fixated on Cleo Johnson’s (Moses Ingram) mystifying death.

It might’ve been exhausting in previous years to realize that the team was far from taking down the villain. Still, as the Prime Video show continues to grow, the character development and interactions alone have become the highlight of this story.

If you’ve seen the 2012 Best Picture winner Argo or the Kristen Stewart snoozefest Seberg, you know how enthusiastically the entertainment industry wants to showcase its progressive footing. And now the same can be said about The Big Cigar, the new Apple TV+ original series.

Lionsgate kicked off day three of CinemaCon with a bang! The entertainment company previewed over 10 titles from their upcoming slate, and their sizzle reel promises a bright future for the studio. In the captivating montage, they detailed their box office successes and gave us sneak peeks of many films, including an upcoming sequel to Now You See Me. While we didn’t get footage, we were told that a new Blair Witch is in the works, and Margot Robbie and Hasbro are working on a Monopoly film.
