Melissa Benoist stepped into the Hollywood spotlight in a big way via Glee. Then she cemented herself as a bonafide star and headliner with Supergirl. Now she continues to broaden her range and her industry skill set by starring in and producing the hugely entertaining political drama, The Girls on the Bus.Created by Amy Chozick and Julie Plec, The Girls on the Bus is inspired by Chozick's memoir, Chasing Hillary. It follows four female journalists played by Benoist, Carla Gugino, Christina Elmore and Natasha Behnam, who are on the campaign trail with aspiring presidential candidates. They all have vastly different backgrounds and goals, but find themselves supporting one another as they navigate career pressures, personal challenges, and frustrations with flawed presidential hopefuls.As Collider's Taylor Gates noted in her review, “[Girls on the Bus] handles serious topics, from sexism and racism to abortion and corruption, in a way that feels both raw and palatable while never taking away from the show's watchability and enjoyability,” and I must agree. Powered by its perfectly assembled core four and their infectious charm, Girls on the Bus quickly earned my investment and heart. Given that, it'll probably come as no surprise that the show's cancellation was a massive disappointment. However, that's not stopping Benoist from celebrating what she and the team achieved.Benoist took the time to join me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to recap her road to Girls on the Bus, to discuss her collaboration with her three top-tier co-stars, and to explain why the show's cancellation will have zero impact on how she looks back on the experience of making it and the final product she and the team produced.

C'est que le temps passe et le 11 juin, date de lancement de la plateforme Max avec tous les titres classiques HBO, mais aussi le cinéma TMC et Warner Bros, approche bientôt. Pour cette reco du weekend afin de donner un aperçu des titres qui seront disponibles au lancement, voici trois séries qu'on n'a pas encore eu l'occasion de voir en France mais qui valent le détour. The Girls on the Bus, la sororité dans la politique The Girls on the Bus est une libre adaptation du livre Chasing Hillary d'Amy Chozick, ou plus exactement d'un chapitre précis du livre. La série suit le parcours de quatre journalistes féminines couvrant la campagne présidentielle américaine. En plus de leurs aventures professionnelles, elle explore leurs vies personnelles et les défis qu'elles rencontrent dans un environnement dominé par les hommes. Melissa Benoist, connue pour son rôle dans Supergirl, incarne l'une des journalistes centrales, qui est poussée par la passion de la politique mais aussi par des idéaux. Malheureusement, la candidate qu'elle a suivie a perdu, et maintenant elle doit trouver un autre poulain sur qui parier qui saura aussi la motiver. Plongée au cœur du journalisme politique, The Girls on the Bus offre un regard incisif sur les rouages des campagnes électorales et la quête de vérité, tout en célébrant la solidarité féminine et le pouvoir de la presse. Même si la série a été annulée au bout d'une saison, elle se suffit à elle-même. https://youtu.be/dRM5UwaY-XU?si=cjGiIaG_z1CtgZdC [bs_show url="girls-on-the-bus"] Julia, de la douceur dans ce monde de brutes Vous connaissez déjà le film Julie et Julia avec Amy Adams et Meryl Streep dans les rôles titres, découvrez à présent juste Julia. La série est inspirée de la vie de Julia Child et de son émission culinaire révolutionnaire, The French Chef. Elle retrace l'ascension de Julia Child, interprétée par Sarah Lancashire, et son impact monumental sur la télévision et la culture culinaire américaine. Sarah Lancashire brille dans le rôle de Julia Child, capturant son esprit inébranlable et son amour pour la cuisine (difficile de passer derrière Meryl Streep et pourtant), tandis que David Hyde Pierce joue Paul Child, le mari dévoué de Julia. On entre dans les coulisses de l'émission mais aussi dans l'inspiration de Julia. On se retrouve plongé dans une reconstitution fidèle de l'époque et dans l'univers de la gastronomie avec une touche d'émotion et d'humour. Deux saisons pleines de bonnes choses sont à découvrir ! https://youtu.be/s69fQRE-GaA?si=L9BA8Nm0b-lSIvE6 [bs_show url="julia-2022"] Our Flag Means Death, ô à la piraterie On termine sur Our Flag Means Death, une comédie d'aventure créée par David Jenkins, qui revisite avec humour et originalité le monde de la piraterie et grandement appréciée du public. Inspirée des véritables aventures de Stede Bonnet, un aristocrate qui abandonne sa vie de luxe pour devenir pirate, la série met en vedette Rhys Darby dans le rôle de Bonnet, et Taika Waititi en tant que capitaine Barbe Noire. Ensemble, ils naviguent sur les mers tumultueuses tout en développant une relation inattendue et touchante. Ce mélange de comédie absurde et de moments sincères, remet au goût du jour le mythe du pirate. Les performances charismatiques de Darby et Waititi, ainsi que l'écriture inventive, font de cette série un incontournable pour ceux qui cherchent une évasion drôle et émotive. En plus de son humour décalé, la série brille par ses personnages attachants et ses dialogues savoureux, créant un univers unique où l'absurde côtoie la tendresse, ce qui touchera plus d'un cœur. https://youtu.be/prQDst-tAJ8?si=2Cgw3_-TRIEuqbuh [bs_show url="our-flag-means-death"] Que vous soyez amateur de drames politiques, de biopics inspirants ou de comédies percutantes, ces séries ont de quoi vous divertir sur Max !

Amy is back with a conversation about the new show now streaming on Max, The Girls on the Bus. The show stars Melissa Benoist as Sadie McCarthy, a scrappy and ambitious journalist covering a fictional Democratic presidential primary. It follows Sadie and three other women reporters as they navigate the campaign trail, while juggling their careers, personal lives — and relationships with one another.

Amy's book chronicled her experiences covering Hillary Clinton's 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns.Amy Walter talks with Amy Chozick and Julie Plec, co-creators and executive producers of The Girls on the Bus, and actress Melissa Benoist. They discuss politics, journalism, and turning campaign coverage into a television series.
Atlantic writer Franklin Foer examines rising antisemitism from the political left, and why what he describes as a “Golden Age for American Jews” is over. An Israeli airstrike killed seven World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza on Monday, and the U.N. is warning that a famine might be imminent. The Florida Supreme Court enacted one of the strictest abortion bans in the country this week. Abortion access is now going to be on the state's 2024 ballot. Amy Chozick covered Hillary Clinton's 2008 and 2016 presidential campaigns. Her memoir “Chasing Hillary” is the basis for the new Max series “The Girls on the Bus.”

On covering Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential run; on writing an amazing profile on the woman who (famously) chopped off her husband's penis; on rising from the University of Texas to a fantastic career in journalism.
In this week’s episode of Poll Hub, the team sits down with Amy Chozick, best-selling author of Chasing Hillary and writer-at-large for The New York Times. In her work, Chozick recounts the details of covering the complex candidate for a decade. In this thoughtful and candid interview, Chozick opens up about her struggles on the campaign trail, opines about Clinton’s impact on the current feminist movement, the state of media today, and what reporters and potential 2020 presidential candidates can take away from 2016. About Poll Hub Poll Hub goes behind the science to explain how polling works, what polls really show, and what the numbers really mean. Poll Hub is produced by The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion, home of America’s leading independent college public opinion poll, The Marist Poll. Lee Miringoff (Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion), Barbara Carvalho (Director of The Marist Poll), and Jay DeDapper (Director of Innovation at The Marist Poll) dig deep to give you a look at the inner workings of polls and what they tell us about our world, our country, and ourselves.
This week, we’re getting a few takes in on Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh before even more ignoble details emerge about his disgusting sexual proclivities. We also have some Trump hurricane takes to explore as well as a story about our home county’s racist ex-sheriff, Michael Saudino. In pop culture, we’re reviewing Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 11/9 and Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy, starring Nicholas cage. We’ll also mention the persistence of dull liberals on the silver screen, from homophobic scowler Alec Baldwin on SNL to the TV adaptation of Amy Clovick’s 2016 campaign tale, Chasing Hillary. For story time, Dan and I will tell you about our earliest intellectual forays into the world of politics in our high school US government class. We have all that and more for you here on your favorite scenic tour through America’s political sewer.

Amy Chozick moved to New York after college with nothing but a set of clips from her college newspaper and now, 17 years later, is The New York Times bestselling author of the campaign memoir "Chasing Hillary." In this week's episode, Don (the co-author of a 2007 Clinton book with Jeff Gerth) chats with Amy, a Times reporter, about Hillary Clinton, and the pair trade war stories about the blowback the Clinton camp has dished out to journalists who write unauthorized books about Clinton. They also evaluate the media's approach to the 2016 election and talk about Hillary's press team, a notorious group Amy refers to as "The Guys."
This week, Ana (@anamariecox) sat down with Amy Chozick (@amychozick), New York Times writer at large and the author of the new book Chasing Hillary. Over the course of a wide-ranging conversation, they dove into some of the threads within Amy’s book that the national political press has overlooked. In addition to examining the Hillary that Amy felt voters often didn’t see, they discussed the lessons learned by Amy and the press corps writ large from the 2016 election, and how that press corps can win people’s trust back. You can find Amy’s book here. Get in touch with us on Twitter at @crooked_friends or email us at withfriendslikepod@gmail.com. Thank you to our sponsors!

Many have suggested that this election year is, once again, the year of the woman. As primaries continue in this mid-term cycle, there are nearly 80 women who have already secured a spot on November ballots for Congress and Governorships across the country.Today, Tom's guest is Amy Chozick, a reporter for the New York Times who covered Hillary Clinton, the most famous woman in American politics, in her two attempts to win the White House. Her new book is called ----Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns and One Intact Glass Ceiling. ----There is no shortage of theories to explain why Secretary Clinton was not able to break the glass ceiling of the Presidency, even when pitted against a candidate who was as divisive and abhorrent to as many people as Donald Trump was, and continues to be. But how does Clinton's loss in 2016 -- and her loss to her Democratic rival, Barack Obama in 2012 -- inform the current crop of women who are storming the barricades in this cycle? Given Clinton’s unique place in American politics, in what ways might she present a model for that woman who eventually does break the proverbial glass ceiling of the Oval Office?Amy Chozick joins Tom for the hour.

It’s time to talk about the damn emails — and the way the media covered them. Amy Chozick reported on Hillary Clinton for a decade. She was there as Clinton’s campaign fell short in the 2008 Democratic primaries. And as the New York Times’s lead reporter on the Clinton campaign in 2016, she was there as Clinton seemed certain to win in 2016 — and there on that night in November when she lost. Her new book, Chasing Hillary, is a memoir of these years and that reporting. In it, Chozick reflects on her coverage of Clinton, her relationship with the candidate, the incentives of her newsroom, and how all of it intertwined with her own life. It’s an unusually honest book, exposing much more of the psychodrama that exists between politicians, campaign staff, editors, and reporters than is normally shown, and Chozick is frank about both her discomfort with some of the stories she wrote and the ways her subjects tried to manipulate her. In this conversation, we talk about the emails, as well the media’s deep and pervasive biases, what Trump could do that Clinton couldn’t, the ways campaign coverage distorts campaign reporting, our gendered expectations for politicians, Chozick's clashes with Bernie Sanders supporters, Chelsea Clinton’s criticisms of Chozick’s book, and much more.

Amy Chozick spent ten years covering Hillary Clinton. She writes about the experience in her new bestseller, “Chasing Hillary.” She’s a writer-at-large who covered Hillary’s 2016 campaign for The New York Times and previously reported for The Wall Street Journal, where she covered Hillary on the 2008 campaign after being a foreign correspondent in Tokyo. In this conversation we examine who Hillary really is, what drives her, what defines her, how the campaign unfolded, what it was like covering it, how journalism is changing, and what one question she wants to have Hillary answer.
