According to Deadline, Jason Ritter and Patrick Wilson will be part of the next season of the HBO series. Ritter was previously on the show in season one, playing a Clicker, and his wife, Melanie Lynskey, played a key role as Kathleen. This time around, Ritter will play a different character: Hanley, a soldier with the Washington Liberation Front.

The situation became even more confusing considering Chloé Zhao, who directed and produced the project, previously won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director with her film Nomadland. Given the impressive team and Sarah Michelle Gellar’s backing, the project seemed destined for success. In a recent interview with Variety, Zhao explained the surprising decision from Hulu.

At SXSW, Bob Odenkirk and the team behind his new film – director Ben Wheatley, writer/producer Derek Kolstad, and producer Marc Provissiero – discussed the movie’s realistic action, impressive stunts done practically, and the intriguing small-town mystery at its heart. They shared details about Odenkirk’s training for the demanding fight sequences, explored why audiences are … Read more

I have a suggestion for a new title for the Paradise storyline. How about This Is Us: Traveling Through Time, or maybe This Is Us: Lost in Linearity? The show isn’t following a simple post-apocalyptic structure anymore, and this season’s story jumps around in time, which feels out of character for creator Dan Fogelman, who usually prioritizes heartfelt storytelling. The hints have been building all season, and episode six, “Jane,” really feels like a turning point. Something strange is happening in the present timeline of Paradise, and it’s unfortunately pulling away from the show’s otherwise strong emotional core.

So, I was watching the Oscars red carpet with Etalk Canada, and they asked about my DMs after everything came out about my relationship. Honestly, I hadn’t even looked! I figured they were probably the same as always. But what really got to me was seeing how everyone reacted to her – just accepting and supportive. She’s never been one to seek the spotlight, always saying she doesn’t want to be ‘perceived,’ so it was amazing to see the fans embrace her anyway.

I was completely swept away by John Carney’s new film, Power Ballad! Seeing the incredible chemistry between the Gen-X legend and his millennial co-star was a real treat. Honestly, it’s been the highlight of the festival so far – the audience was roaring with laughter, there were tears, and everyone was cheering. And the best part? Not a single person left before the Q&A! It’s definitely a movie that’s going to connect with a lot of people when Lionsgate releases it on June 5th.

I was so excited to see Conan and Robert Downey Jr. together again! It feels like a natural follow-up to that hilarious and surprisingly poignant moment on Conan’s podcast last year, when Conan had to tell Robert about the Jeff Epstein stuff. And what a year Robert’s been having! Not only was he in the Best Picture winner, but he was everywhere – in HBO’s The Chair Company, Happy Gilmore 2, and there was even a Peacock documentary, Downey Wrote That, all about his time writing for Saturday Night Live. Honestly, having him close out the Oscars, even if people were already heading for the exits and ordering rideshares, felt like the perfect way to celebrate everything he’s accomplished.

Doug Liman directed this film, even though Amazon decided against a traditional wide release in theaters. Jake Gyllenhaal plays a former UFC fighter who finds work as a bouncer at a tough bar in the Florida Keys. The film also features Conor McGregor, Billy Magnussen, Daniela Melchior, Jessica Williams, JD Pardo, Austin Post, and Joaquim de Almeida.

Early reviews are in for the new season of Invincible, and they’re overwhelmingly positive! The show currently has a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning critics love it. While this is based on just 10 reviews so far – and could change as more come in – the initial response suggests the show is as strong as ever. It’s continuing the perfect runs it had with Seasons 2 and 3, adding to the already impressive 98% ‘Certified Fresh’ rating Season 1 received.
