Episode three continues the court-centric narrative that started in the previous episode. Contrary to what many viewers assumed, Officer Powell, who seemed to meet his fate at Nicky’s apartment allegedly at Matt’s hands, reappears as a witness, accusing Matt of tampering with an investigation and interfering with police duties. Given the severe beating that left Powell unconscious and covered in blood, it’s challenging to take his threats too gravely. However, underestimating the police, particularly with Commissioner Gallo being Fisk’s ally, could prove risky. In the course of Powell’s testimony, he and District Attorney Hochberg portray the late Officer Shanahan as an admirable figure committed to making the city a safer place to reside.

In simpler terms, the “Drop Dead Gorgeous Lizard” episode sequence, which included two consecutive episodes, had a somewhat coherent storyline compared to other events. However, after resolving the Sami-Lola dispute in the second installment, the show appears to be struggling with its direction. A scene featuring Denise taking her eldest daughter rock climbing is as exciting as it sounds, though I did enjoy Denise boasting about her Special Forces filming experience and being disappointed when the instructor didn’t recognize it. Denise then tells Sami and Lola they must organize Godzilla’s memorial since Brooke requested it, calling Godzilla her “little soulmate” in a flashback, and because (though not explicitly stated) they need something to do if they aren’t going to argue. I admire Lola’s reluctance to inform her job about missing work for a non-human memorial, even as I agree with Denise’s suggestion to just provide incorrect details.

Primarily, the wealthier ladies engaged in rather informal discussions with their significant others. Let’s begin by focusing on Boz and Keely, as they gather with Boz’s daughter, Leal, who initiates a series of queries that both Boz and spectators are eager to learn: Will he relocate prior to marriage? Is he planning to visit Beverly Hills or will they shift to San Diego instead? Does he desire a single child or multiple? If he were a character from Sex and the City, who would he be, and why is it Miranda in particular? This friendly exchange was refreshing, and I’m pleased that we can continue delving into Boz’s relationship without revisiting baby-related dialogues. By this, I mean discussing the baby that Boz is expected to welcome, rather than using infantile expressions like “goo goo, ga ga, pee pee, poo poo.

The trailer for the fourth season of “Hacks” opens with Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), speaking to Ava (Hannah Einbinder) much like a character in “Jurassic Park” addresses a velociraptor. “Look at you, all big and brave,” she says, as they walk down a hallway in slow motion, eventually parting ways. Following the events of season … Read more

Gia Hadid shared with Vogue that she had a passion for musical theater from a young age. “I’ve always loved musical theater,” she said. At nine years old, she landed the role of Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray, as mentioned by Vogue. For this project, she teamed up with director Bardia Zeinali, who had previously worked with her on a 2018 Beetlejuice-themed shoot. “We’ve been planning this for a while,” Hadid said. “Finally, we got to make it happen, and we’re thrilled about it.” If you weren’t aware of Hadid’s enthusiasm for musical theater, you wouldn’t be the only one, but she frequently expresses her love for it throughout the cover story. At one point, the article even proposes that Jon M. Chu should consider casting her in one of the sequels to Wicked, despite the fact that there will only be one sequel to Wicked, and it has already been filmed.

In the recounting of their experiences, these individuals shared a wealth of details about events that transpired behind the scenes during filming as well as post-show incidents. The scarcity of records led several men to adopt a strategy of denial. However, the women were ready, corroborating each other’s accounts and serving as witnesses. This unity among women can be attributed to bonds forged within the pods, as stated by Molly Mullaney, who dated Bettenburg but departed when he chose O’Brien for a proposal. As Meg Fink adds, “Those are the people you confide in about everything. You observe their expressions, their body language. There’s a more physical connection. The relationships within the pods become quite significant because they’re tangible, and the relationships with men aren’t yet.” Vulture convened Danús, Mullaney, O’Brien, and Fink at an SXSW reunion watch party to delve into the development of their relationships during production and how they sustained them even after Minneapolis was no longer under the cameras’ gaze. “We did receive a comment [from production] along the lines of, ‘Remember, you’re here to find husbands and you can’t marry each other,’ Mullaney recalls. To which they all responded, somewhat skeptically, “Are you sure?

If you only caught a nursery rhyme summary of “Women Tell All,” you wouldn’t be missing out on the main events. Essentially, this episode was dominated by The Carolina Show, featuring Dina and Sarafiena. To be honest, if the entire episode had consisted solely of the initial segment where Carolina faced criticism from other women, it would have been a decent representation of “Women Tell All.” However, there were several unanswered questions about the season that I yearned to see addressed, and I could have done without the advertisements for “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and “Disney’s Live Action Snow White” interrupting the flow. The most entertaining decision made throughout the night was having Linda the Llama do makeup backstage before the episode began. Let’s dive in!

The main focus of the movie, directed by first-time writer-director Alex Scharfman, appears to be Elliot Kintner, portrayed by Paul Rudd, who serves as the VP of ethical compliance for the Leopolds. Elliot, a widower, is desperate to emulate the Leopolds’ esteemed status, sacrificing his relationship with his daughter Ridley (Jenna Ortega) in the process. He takes Ridley along on a weekend trip to the Leopolds’ luxurious Canadian wilderness lodge to curry favor with them and secure a position on their board. Elliot’s character is portrayed as a man who is so deeply in denial about his actions that it borders on dissociation, constantly showing signs of confusion that quickly turn into submissive complacency. Rudd delivers a performance that, unfortunately, lacks depth. The intriguing aspect of the film’s title, Death of a Unicorn, comes into play as Elliot accidentally hits one of these mythical creatures during their journey to the lodge. Only Ridley initially recognizes what it is, but its body later proves to have healing properties, which is useful for Odell, who recovers from a previous illness. However, the unicorn also has parents who are larger and more violent, and they soon arrive seeking their missing child.

A number of ex-creatives from A24 are moving to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The director and screenwriter of ‘Beef’, Jake Schreier, helmed the project; he’s accompanied by ‘Beef’ showrunner Lee Sung Jin, who co-wrote the film alongside Joanna Calo from ‘The Bear’, and frequent Marvel scribe Eric Pearson. Andrew Droz Palermo, director of cinematography for ‘The Green Knight’, handled the camera work, Harry Yoon, editor of ‘Minari’, edited the film, and Son Lux, a band that has worked on ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, composed the soundtrack.

In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel, Daniel Bock admitted that Miss Huang, who is well-versed in Lumon matters, had left him baffled with some of the set pieces. “Miss Huang, she has a phone on a desk and it has the little keyboard,” Bock said, explaining his bewilderment. A member of the audience shouted, likely taken aback by the age difference between them and Gen-Z. When Kimmel inquired if Bock was familiar with rotary phones, he seemed puzzled. To clarify, she’s a teenager, not a historian.
