Is that his character from Babylon? No, that guy's dead (sorry). Is it Bullet Train 2? No, that movie doesn't exist yet. Toward the end of the trailer, however, Pitt's character slams down an Academy Award and that's when it all hit: That's Cliff Booth, the character for which Pitt won his Best Supporting Oscar in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood. Booth is back, but this time he's on Netflix.

Is That a Podcast or Just Cheap TV?

Davidson's debut episode, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, is assembled from the rough, requisite symbols of podcasting: host and guest sunk into plush, beat-up chairs vaguely facing each other, chatting and smoking cigarettes in a space that's presented as Davidson's garage, Benjamin Moore paint tubs doubling as an ashtray stand. Good pals, their conversation is loose and circuitous; their discussion drifts from adventures while getting high, stints in rehab, and - because this is the first episode - what a podcast even is.
