The first episode of HBO’s new documentary detailing Dylan Farrow’s allegations of sexual abuse against Woody Allen is out — and the famed director has choice words for it. He and his wife, Soon-Yi Previn, blasted the doc in a joint statement … calling ‘Allen v. Farrow’ a “hatchet job” that they believe had no interest in pursuing the facts. Allen and Previn — through his sister, Letty Aronson — saying the filmmakers “spent years surreptitiously collaborating with the Farrows and their enablers to put together a hatchet job riddled with falsehoods. “Woody and Soon-Yi were approached less than two…

From Alfred Hitchcock’s infamous cameos to Stephen King literally writing himself into the Dark Tower series, it’s not uncommon for creators to insert themselves into their art. Of course, there’s a difference between simply appearing in your work and becoming the main attraction, and that’s why José Mojica Marins stands out as one of the most daring genre filmmakers of all time. Spawning a multi-media franchise from a tiny b-picture filmed in the heart of 1960s Brazil, Mojica’s subversive storytelling earned him worldwide notoriety during a time when most horror movies still hesitated to show blood on celluloid. While this…

Out of all the new shows from 2020 to fall in love with, it seemed very likely Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist would fall into the sophomore slump. So far, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist Season 2 is confirming those fears. Mitch and Joan’s departures begin the trail of reasons for the slump, as this sophomore series can’t make up for their significant losses. The quirky premise of a woman possessing the ability to hear everyone’s innermost desire via song piqued enough interest to check out Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. However, it didn’t seem like the show was living up to its title until the…

My partner and I are both book nerds–we met working at a bookstore–but we don’t have a lot of overlap in our reading. He tends towards science fiction and horror, and I read YA, literary fiction, and queer lit of all genres. When we do both read the same book, though, it’s always an interesting experience for me. I tend to immerse myself in books, absorbing the general emotions I get from the story, or the big ideas that it grapples with. I am a character-driven reader, while my partner is more plot-based. He can point out plot holes I…

If Sen. Ted Cruz swung by his crib at any point Sunday, he would’ve seen the brigade of standing musicians in sombreros … reminding him what he was missing in Mexico. Somebody hired a mariachi band to swing by Ted’s Houston home yesterday, where the fellas were cranking out Mexican tunes from the sidewalk, quite loudly — with a crowd of neighbors and spectators forming around them and enjoying the vibes. Who sent the mariachi band to @tedcruz’s house today?!?!? 😂😂😂#CancunCruz pic.twitter.com/5inOBRGwnA— Ryan Graney👩🏻‍🦰 (@RyanEGraney) February 22, 2021 @RyanEGraney Unclear if Ted was around to take in the show himself…

It’s not a great sign when watching a new show just makes you think about other, better shows. That’s the case with Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia — premiering Wednesday, Feb. 24 on the streamer; I’ve seen five of the ten episodes — a mildly cute, kind of boring new dramedy that wears its pop-culture inspirations proudly on its sleeve. Maybe a little too proudly: It feels like a show created by an algorithm, or conjured up from a TV writer’s vision board. It borrows liberally from past shows, primarily Gilmore Girls and Dead to Me, but the influences don’t all blend…
