New streaming recommendations include 'This Is a Gardening Show' on Netflix and 'Ramy Youssef: In Love' on HBO Max.
"How can you not land on Silicon Valley?" he says, pointing out that most of us are already living inside its influence every time we pick up our phones. That constant presence makes it fertile ground for satire, even if the show leans hard into drama.
The script is so blunderingly crude, so sluggish in its attempts at emotional depth, and so mean-spirited in its approach that it leaves viewers feeling deflated.
The video starts with Cher's son, Chaz Bono, who is transgender and recently got married. However, the video then changes to show a before photo of 'Jennifer Coolidge' as a man; that then morphs into a picture of Trace Lysette, who bears absolutely no resemblance to Coolidge whatsoever.
Kanye West sold out Inglewood, California's SoFi Center and took in a reported $33 million less than a year since he released a song called 'Heil Hitler.' West's apology for his antisemitism was evidently enough for his LA fans, and no doubt some went because of the antisemitism.
I grew up with Scott Adams'work. My dad would read the "Dilbert" comic strips to me at night as bedtime stories. Later, I became a devout listener of the "Coffee with Scott Adams" podcast. One theme I heard over and over was that Scott was mesmerized by AI. He said repeatedly that he wanted to give back to the world by becoming AI after he died.
Will is like strait-laced, follow the rules, wants to do good. I'm more of a wildcard. She's hard to contain. They take this business all the way to Australia where they get into a little bit of trouble pretty quickly - and there ends up being a bit of violence.
To be perfectly honest, after we finished season three, Zach and I just both had the same feeling where we felt pretty burnt out after putting years and years into this but also pretty accomplished. We just came to this feeling where we're like, 'I think that could just be it after season three.' We both felt like it was right.
Unfortunately, Matt's love of film is inconsistent with his real assignment, which is to make the most money possible while taking the fewest risks. And he believes in that, too, because he wants to keep his job and he loves the life it gives him. So in this world, the desire to make art and the desire to make money are in tension, but not because they put pure artists and mercenary suits on opposite sides. They are competing desires that exist inside the hearts and minds of many, if not most, of the people in the industry, just in different proportions.
The new HBO series Rooster, according to the official description, is "a comedy set on a college campus centering on an author's ( Steve Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Charly Clive)." Carell is an author, you see, whose sex-filled novels have landed him a plum job as a college professor, despite the mess that's become of his personal life.
When they came in with the initial offer, it was, you know, a little... offensive. And I said I can't. I know my worth, and I can't do that. They wanted me bad enough, and they said, 'Well, we're gonna chip in'. And thank god they did because it was one of the best experiences of my entire life.
To everything, there is a season, and for a long time in television history, every show had its own season. Some were fall shows, some were spring shows, and either way, you could count on a brand-new batch of episodes every year. But with the larger budgets and production values of streaming, years between seasons (and no particular rhythm to their releases) has become the norm.
Starting in 2019, the series has charted a timeline in which the USSR beat the US to the Moon in 1969, and then explored how various dominoes fell after that point. From an alternate 1980s featuring a functional Moonbase to landing on Mars in the 1990s, and now, with Season 5, a full-on Mars rebellion looming, this show is as thought-provoking as it is bold.
