The Hollywood Reporter's Roundtable events bring together leading figures in entertainment for frank conversations. This time, it's the turn of comedy actresses and the lineup is stellar: Quinta Brunson, Kristen Wiig, Michelle Buteau, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Ego Nwodim and Maya Rudolph. They met at The Georgian Hotel in Santa Monica to talk about the strangest feedback they've received, the roles that transformed their careers, and what happens when someone — in this case, Netflix — finally believes in you. "Oh, I’ve been tap-dancing for the patriarchy for a good while," says Buteau. "My knees are tired, but fish oil helps."
50 years ago tonight, television (in their original lineup with richard hell) tape an appearance on the underground tonight show at cafe wha?, alongside #PattiSmith & david peel & jackie curtis & others, aired on #nyc public access #television sometime later that year, surfaced incredibly in 2022: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLlhYiN4gmU#punk [1/2]
5/22/74 cafe wha?: amazing 3 minutes of television on #television, playing verlaine’s HARD ON LOVE & making excellent rock faces (as is one of the hippies on the side of the stage, also doing some great gesticulating, visible behind hell). apparently john lennon saw it when it aired. as punk as they ever sounded. #tvfreaksunite#tv052274 [2/2]
After lengthy negotiations and two cast contract extensions, Amazon Freevee has cancelled "Primo" after one season. It's unknown if the production companies will try to find a new home for the series. #Primo#AmazonFreevee#Entertainment#Television#TV#Streaming
I feel like in this day and age where it seems like everything I stand for and believe in irl is failing, being rolled back, and losing fight after fight, I am drawn to stories where the characters whose values align with mine actually win
"With the release of the new Shogun series, a lot of people want to know two things: (1) is it good television, and (2) is it good history? As an academic historian in Japan, I say you can enjoy both the story and the real history behind it. You just have to separate them."
Valls et Sarah Knafo invités sur RTL dans Le Grand Jury demain. La compagne de Zemmour et candidate aux Européennes puis l'ex-conseiller de Barcelone redevenu simple citoyen depuis son naufrage aux législatives (ne me demandez pas pourquoi il est invité, c'est un mystère pour moi, le bon réseau sûrement). Bon dimanche en perspective!
When we saw that @IndieWire had chatted with Gary Oldman, we thought that meant "Slow Horses" was on its way back to Apple. Alas, we have to wait until the fall for that, but in the meantime, enjoy this interview, in which he talks about his favorite "Succession," line, why he loves playing the slovenly Jackson Lamb, and his love of reality TV. “I wanted to be on ‘Project Runway,'” Oldman told Ben Travers. “I wanted to be a judge.”
A 15-episode weekly medical procedural starring Noah Wyle! Live-event coverage, appointment TV and mega sports deals! Bundled content and stacks of commercials! Is it 1997, or is new television starting to look remarkably like old television? Variety's Michael Schneider looks at how streamers are dusting off some of the old broadcast playbook for a new era.
💜 On http://www.ladyteruki.com I've been writing (in ꜰʀ) about television from all over the planet, for over a decade and a half ! I believe in being curious about the world through its TV shows.
Reviews, history, fun facts... so far 6700+ publications have been made available for free, ad-free.
But I'm a disabled person living under the poverty line, so I have a Ko-fi where people can support me : https://ko-fi.com/ladyteruki
🇺🇸 One of the tropes I like the least in television also happens to be one of the most common tropes in conservative television : go back home in your native small town, life is simpler there, happiness was there all along. US series #TheWayHome brings a fantasy twist to this, but I'm not sure it helps.
🇮🇷 There are many reasons to lie, some people even do it professionally. Iranian series #Actor (which arte airs tonight under the international title #TheActor, don't ask) is a wonderful exploration of all the reasons we have to lie... and sometimes, just sometimes, to tell the truth.
🇳🇬 Am I fair when I discuss shows with you, or is my enthusiasm for discovery sometimes getting the best of me ? Well, this wasn't really a dilemma in the case of Nigerian comedy #AwkwardThingsAboutLosingWeight, for once.
🇨🇦 With arte airing the entire miniseries tonight (make sure not to miss it !), I wanted to discuss the Canadian drama #LittleBird, a touching exploration of what it meant for thousands of Indigenous children to have been abducted from their families.
🇨🇦 And as a companion article, you can also read my review of the first episode of French Canadian series #PourToiFlora, which specifically depicts the experience of the children sent to residential schools, and discusses their trauma decades later.
🇮🇪 This review has been 10 years in the making. I've always wanted to tell you about Irish thriller #AnBronntanas, but never found the time. After rewatching the miniseries earlier this month, I finally put words on it. I hope you like chaos !
🇩🇪🇫🇷🇯🇵🇦🇪 This is quite an interesting assortment of four broadcasters from three different continents, that have decided to coproduce #Concordia. In this sci-fi thriller set in a city where everyone is recorded, your private data is supposed to be safer than anywhere else in the world. Not so safe, however, when a murder takes place...
