In simple terms, “Everybody’s Live” is John Mulaney’s fresh, hour-long weekly talk show airing live on Netflix, reimagining the traditional late-night talk show format. As he puts it in the opening monologue of the March 12 premiere, “This is my live, improvisational, unpredictable talk show.” The streaming giant has given Mulaney an hour to share with fans the baby boomer culture that shaped him into the eccentric individual he is today.

The show, a development from a six-episode trial run in May 2024, is heavily influenced by Mulaney’s personal experiences and tastes, from the topics discussed to the panelists chosen, the musical acts invited, and the references made. It offers ample opportunities for Mulaney’s quick wit and humor, and serves as a stage for him to refine his evolving onstage persona after marrying actress Olivia Munn and becoming a parent.

At the same time, it allows for plenty of room to showcase its loose, deliberate style, potentially revealing its flaws and pitfalls. In essence, it’s a platform for Mulaney to express himself freely, but also a challenge to maintain its unique, laid-back approach.

When it comes to categorizing spy movies, it’s often challenging due to their diverse range, which spans from films about world domination by evil masterminds to realistic tales of undercover agents exchanging secrets. (Interestingly enough, even Westerns have a clear setting in the Old West, but the genre can be just as confusing when you consider exceptions like non-Western Westerns!). To include a variety of spy films that represent the genre’s full scope, Vulture decided on a broad definition for this list of top spy movies. If the movie includes espionage as a significant aspect, then it qualifies as a spy film for our purposes.

As a devoted fan, I must say that the second season of Severance has been nothing short of mind-bending, filled with unexpected twists such as Helena Eagan’s deceit and Irving’s selfless act. Notably, episodes focusing on Mark’s missing wife, Gemma, and his innie’s former superior, Harmony Cobel, have also stood out. However, the most poignant and human storyline for me has been the tender yet tragic romance between Dylan G., my innie, and his outie’s wife, Gretchen George (portrayed beautifully by Merritt Wever). In the heart-wrenching penultimate episode of this season, Gretchen confides in her husband about kissing his innie, causing him immense pain and betrayal. To make matters worse, she later shatters my innie’s heart by turning down his paper-ring marriage proposal.

In “Episode 4,” we delve into the underlying tensions within Vanessa and Fisk’s relationship: Vanessa’s infidelity serves as a challenge for Fisk – can he suppress his pride and learn to genuinely forgive her, a lesson he’s never encountered before? This is due to her painful memories of her father abandoning the family for extended periods to drink and gamble. She had always resented her mother for not stopping him, which made her own situation with Fisk even more intolerable. Seeking comfort, she turned towards Adam, an artist who operates outside of Fisk’s business and criminal circles.

Denise is definitely giving it her all! She openly discusses her annual Botox treatments, praises salmon sperm facials (which involve using extracts from salmon sperm on the skin, not what you might be imagining), and seems fixated on a fictional cooking show. Interestingly, she received a comment from Brooke Williamson, a former Top Chef winner and current Food Network regular. Denise is overjoyed at the prospect of collaborating with Brooke, although the comment (“Let’s do this together next time… I’m here for you”) seems somewhat ambiguous to me. Denise expresses her desire to have her own cooking show, leading me to ponder if they could perhaps subtly transform “Denise Richards & Her Wild Things” into a new recipe-focused format, like “Denise Richards & Her Wild… Recipes”. This is just an idea I had.

Primarily, the women seemed to critique Ms. Sutton Stracke, which, since I’ve never been fond of her on the show, gave me great satisfaction. The first dinner in St. Lucia was particularly enlightening, as we observed Sutton echoing the ladies’ remarks as they were being made.

The finale of Adolescence makes sense because it’s something we should have anticipated. As parents, there are moments when our children do or say things that make us realize, “Oh, I see now, that was my fault.” (Like the first time your child uses inappropriate language in public.) We understand the potential for mistakes as parents, but we’re often juggling so many responsibilities – work, cooking, cleaning, running errands, managing relationships, and more. Every parent is striving to do their best, even if they aren’t always succeeding. They are aware of their goal.

This week’s viewing of “The White Lotus” unveiled a fresh, vacant-eyed reaction shot starring Walton Goggins as Rick, during his conversation with Frank – an unexpected appearance by Sam Rockwell. As Frank expounded on his spiritual voyage in Thailand and its rather unusual genesis, one might say.

Following the screening of “No Other Land” at O Cinema, I advocated for the termination of their lease and an immediate halt to approximately $40,000 in city funding. I deemed the film a biased one-sided propaganda that unfairly targets Jewish people, which contradicts the values we uphold as a city and its residents.

On March 18, amidst clashes between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine demonstrators outside an event, Gal Gadot was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In footage shared on social media, a protester supporting Palestine took an Israeli flag from another supporter and fled, pursued by law enforcement. The nearby announcer mentioned that the … Read more
