Cynthia Erivo discusses her vulnerable new record “I Forgive You”, and all the big musical theatre roles that built her career. From her childhood obsession with Brandy to her performance as Elphaba in the movie musical Wicked, Erivo talks to Tom Power about her life as a singer, and all the surprises she encountered along the way.

It's all singing, dancing, chatting and eating at Dish this week. Cynthia Erivo is a British actor, singer and songwriter, well known for her phenomenal vocals and performances on stage and screen. She comes to the Dish table to talk about her new album, I Forgive You; a 20-track record which tells her life story in four distinct parts and showcases the full range of her incredible voice. It's released on 6 June, UK.  Erivo, who was born in Stockwell, London but now lives in Los Angeles, made her Broadway debut as Celie in The Color Purple alongside Jennifer Hudson, a role for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical and Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. She has also received two Best Actress Oscar nominations for her roles in Harriet (2019) and most recently Wicked! (2024) where she played Elphaba opposite Ariana Grande. Other notable projects include heist thriller Widows the Netflix crime thriller Luther: The Fallen Sun, and the drama Drift. To mark the start of June, Angela served the table a vegan roasted red pepper, aubergine & freekeh salad with additional courgettes (Angela's favourite). As Cynthia doesn't drink, the trio enjoyed a glass of Real Peony Blush Non Alcoholic Sparkling Tea alongside it. For those that do want to match their salad with a glass of wine, the Waitrose experts suggest a glass of Eminence de Bijou.  We begin the episode by getting to know Cynthia's love of vegan food, understanding her garlic allergy and dislike of the onion family (sorry, onion family). Over the salad, we learn more about her new record, including how Ariana Grande helped to make it happen and get a first-class demonstration of just how powerful her voice is. Plus, we finally found a good writer for the End of Show Question!

Just because ANORA wears the Oscars' Best Picture crown doesn't mean the movies nominated turn to dust. In fact, as the Best Picture nominees slowly trickle out to home video, discussing them feels more pertinent. A movie's lifespan isn't limited to the awards calendar, especially when it comes to WICKED.Jon M. Chu's fantasy musical, based on the Broadway show, vacuumed up the world's cash to the tune of nearly $750 million, a testament to the musical's 20+ year success. This thing's been around long enough on its own to discuss it in generational terms.But WICKED owes it all to THE WIZARD OF OZ, being a prequel exploring the college years of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Galinda (Ariana Grande), who will be known later in life as the Wicked Witch and Good Witch, respectively.Grande's lovably bubbly narcissism makes me laugh. Even the camera can't stop following her hair flips and flighty trots across the sets. Erivo seems incapable of playing a false note. They carry years worth of pain behind a restrictive, poised demeanor, presenting confidence as a defense tower.Our technicolor understanding of the land of Oz is muted by a change in perspective. We're not from Kansas anymore, Toto. Director of photography and frequent Chu collaborator Alice Brooks gives Oz a more tactile, European feel, at times flooding the background with natural light that gives the sets a lived-in presence. This isn't a Marvel Studios CGI nightmare (for the most part).But this idea of a realistic Oz, marked by more serious ventures into ANIMAL FARM-esque allegories for fascist subjugations within a caste system, doesn't always gel with the magic or whimsy WIZARD OF OZ is known for. It feels as though each creative grabbed their own idea of what WICKED should be and stretched it in said direction. The result is something that doesn't coalesce but I'll be damned if I say I didn't have fun with it.Though I'm still stunned Chu got a Critics' Choice Award for Best Director.

Matilda Rånge på P3 Nyheter förklarar morgonens stora nyheter, alltid tillsammans med programledarna för Morgonpasset i P3: Linnéa Wikblad och David Druid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det har gått exakt tre år sedan Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina och samtidigt har Zelenskyj sagt att han är redo att avgå i utbyte mot fred. Vi går igenom hur utspelet kan tolkas och spekulationerna kring Putins nästa mål – att eventuellt kicka ut Sverige ur Nato.Lite senare snackar vi om att ”Wicked”-skådisen Cynthia Erivo ska spela Jesus i en ny uppsättning av ”Jesus Christ Superstar”. Det har fått en pastor att rasa.

In questa prima parte di episodio dedicato a Wicked, andiamo ad analizzare le principali tematiche dell'adattamento cinematografico. In particolar modo, i richiami presenti al musical originale e all'importanza della "I want song" di questo film.Insieme con me in questo episodio: Grace Ambrose.Un ringraziamento speciale ai ragazzi di Unlearn Studio, che non solo hanno ha realizzato tutta l'identità grafica di SuonA Tipo Bene, ma sono stati i primi ad avermi portato a vedere Wicked circa un anno e mazzo fa. 

It was recently announced that Tony Award winner and Academy Award nominee Cynthia Erivo (Wicked, The Color Purple) would star as Jesus in an upcoming concert staging of the rock opera JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, this summer at the Hollywood Bowl. The news that Erivo will appear in the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice written show, has been met with some overblown backlash, and accusations of blasphemy and disrespect. In today's stagey news recap, we're talking through why this isn't the case, by examining the history of this particular show, and considering the larger problem of misogynoir in society. •About Mickey-Jo:As one of the leading voices in theatre criticism on a social platform, Mickey-Jo is pioneering a new medium for a dwindling field.

Instalada como una de las cintas con mayor recaudación mundial en 2024, esta precuela del “Mago de Oz” está nominada a 10 premios Oscar, incluyendo mejor película. “Wicked” está basada en un conocido musical de Broadway y, entre otras cosas, destaca por las brillantes actuaciones de Cynthia Erivo y Ariana Grande, nominadas en las categorías de mejor actriz y mejor actriz secundaria.

We are chatting about the touring production of A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, some Cynthia Erivo news and reaction to O'DESSA movie trailer.

Is it strange that Wicked, a film about a marginalized person discovering her magic and rising up to fight against government oppression, has been a box office success under Trump 2.0 – or does the movie's message actually meet the moment? Wicked has been nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Actress in a Leading Role for Cynthia Erivo, who already has Grammy, Emmy and Tony awards under her belt. This week, Kara talks with Erivo about why, as a queer, Black woman, the role of Elphaba was especially meaningful and how she made it her own; what she thinks about the current attack on diversity programs and the LGBTQ+ community; which projects she wants to lend her voice and other talents to going forward; and what becoming the youngest EGOT winner (if she wins the Oscar) would mean to her.

Hosts Mike and Kenny discuss the blockbusting film adaptation of Act 1 of the musical Wicked which stars Cynthia Erivo, and Ariana Grande. Directed by Jon M. Chu. Wicked Pt. 1offers the back story of The Wizard of Oz's Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West as well as the Wizard. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, a child conceived via an affair with green skin and rejected by her father. Ariana Grande stars as Galinda, born into wealth and influence and seemingly perfect. Galinda and Elphaba become roommates and rivals at Shiz University where both quickly become the center of attention, and eventually friends.  The film features outstanding vocal performances by Erivo and Grande as well as very strong visuals and production design. Jeff Goldbloom co-stars as the Wizard with Michelle Yeoh co-starring as Madame Morrible, the professor of magic.  Jonathan Bailey co-stars as the romantic Prince Fiyero. Faith Spotted: The question of God in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz Where does evil / wickedness come from? The ability for narratives to cast wickedness on those undeserving of it as well as hide the wickedness and evil of others. Though our faith teaches we are all born into sin, what roll does environtmental elements and circumstances play in becoming evil/wicked?  All persons are created by and are beloved children of God, therefore as persons of faith we are called to respect and preserve the agency of "others" regardless of their faith or place.  As Christians we can celebrate the defeat of evil and the removal of the threat of evil and wickedness but we are not to celebrate the suffering or death of those who commit evil or wicked acts as this violates Christ's command to love all persons, even our enemies, as well as the command to forgive even one's enemies. While it can seem impossible, we are called to do so and can be empowered by God to do so. Persons of the Christian faith are not to blame persons or punish them for the sins of others.   Article with novelist Gregory Maguire regarding faith present in Wicked. https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2024/11/20/q-and-wicked-author-gregory-maguire-souls-saints-religion-oz-249323

If you're unfamiliar with the plot of Broadway stunner, Wicked, fear not, director Jon M. Chu's (Crazy Rich Asians) big screen adaptation is a splashy note-for-note faithful interpretation of the acclaimed musical. If your gateway is Gregory Macguire's book by the same name, expect more committment to the musical's book than his source material. Wicked, a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, tells the story of the classic's central villian Elphaba, The Wicked Witch of the West and it's symbol of goodness, Glinda the Good Witch of the South. It's story opens with a Glinda arriving in Munchkinland in a glimmering bubble. To confirms for the citzenry that the witch is dead. It's a majestic start complete with a spectacular ensemble number.  Under Chu's stewardship OZ comes to sparkling life. There are recognizable set pieces as well as a more expansive look at the land of OZ.  The film adaptation retains the "PG" light touch by inferring much more than showing the darkness decending upon the land. Cynthia Erivio and Arian Grande-Butera are hands down a triumph as the film's Elphaba and Glinda. Both their vocals and dramatic interpretation of the leads distinguish their performances from any that've come before. In this meticulously built world the duo lead their talent-packed ensemble to create one of the best film-adaptation of a stage production ever. Wicked offers plenty for those longing for bright and colorful escapism. You'll laugh, gasp, and be amazed at each cinematic success (enough to forgive its varied visual effects shortfalls).  The narrative leans heavily on its cast for its emotional peaks and valleys and they more ably respond.

If you're unfamiliar with the plot of Broadway stunner, Wicked, fear not, director Jon M. Chu's (Crazy Rich Asians) big screen adaptation is a splashy note-for-note faithful interpretation of the acclaimed musical. If your gateway is Gregory Macguire's book by the same name, expect more committment to the musical's book than his source material. Wicked, a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, tells the story of the classic's central villian Elphaba, The Wicked Witch of the West and it's symbol of goodness, Glinda the Good Witch of the South. It's story opens with a Glinda arriving in Munchkinland in a glimmering bubble. To confirms for the citzenry that the witch is dead. It's a majestic start complete with a spectacular ensemble number.  Under Chu's stewardship OZ comes to sparkling life. There are recognizable set pieces as well as a more expansive look at the land of OZ.  The film adaptation retains the "PG" light touch by inferring much more than showing the darkness decending upon the land. Cynthia Erivio and Arian Grande-Butera are hands down a triumph as the film's Elphaba and Glinda. Both their vocals and dramatic interpretation of the leads distinguish their performances from any that've come before. In this meticulously built world the duo lead their talent-packed ensemble to create one of the best film-adaptation of a stage production ever. Wicked offers plenty for those longing for bright and colorful escapism. You'll laugh, gasp, and be amazed at each cinematic success (enough to forgive its varied visual effects shortfalls).  The narrative leans heavily on its cast for its emotional peaks and valleys and they more ably respond. Christopher Scott's propulsive choreography delivers again and again. Erivo's blend of stoicism and defensive boldness aid a growing necessary edge. While Grande's pitch perfect switches between self-absorbsion, ambitious, perky benevolence adds the bounce and flair. Each balancing out the other in a delightful chemistry.

A Note from Hope Katz Gibbs, founder and producer, Inkandescent Radio — Odds are good that you have read Gregory Macguire’s bestseller, “Wicked,” seen the Broadway show (millions around the world have), and/or are anticipating the release of the film version this month. So, it is a great pleasure to share the interview I had the privilege of doing with him for The Costco Connection. Gregory allowed me to record and produce our conversation for our Authors Between the Covers Show on InkandescentRadio and Inkandescent.tv). On our PR & Publishing Co. site, Inkandescent.us, you can also read our Q&A. Stay tuned for the article in the Costco Connection in November. Best of all, you’ll get to see Part One of Wicked in November! Scroll down to learn more about the film! About the movie: Wicked (also known as Wicked: Part One) is an upcoming American musical fantasy film directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Winnie Holzman. It is the first of a two-part film adaptation of the stage musical of the same name by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman, which was based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel of the same name and characters from L. Frank Baum‘s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The film stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, with Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode (in her film debut), Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James, Keala Settle, and Peter Dinklage in supporting roles. Set in the Land of Oz, largely before Dorothy Gale‘s arrival from Kansas, the plot follows green-skinned Elphaba and her path to ultimately becoming the Wicked Witch of the West, alongside an unlikely friendship and later rivalry with a classmate who later becomes Glinda the Good. Theatrical release in the United States is scheduled for November 22, 2024, with Wicked: Part Two slated for November 26, 2025. Universal Pictures announced the adaptation in 2012 with Marc Platt as a producer. After a long development and multiple delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chu was hired to direct, with Erivo and Grande cast in their respective roles in 2021. Principal photography began in December 2022 in England, paused in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, eventually resuming then concluding in January 2024.

Our podcast has grown significantly, and we were thrilled to have a wild & wonderful awards show to culminate the season with such a momentous evening. We’ll have more analysis in upcoming episodes, but know it was our pleasure to stay awake all night long to bring you this very special MMO. We begin with the biggest story of the night - Parasite. Bong Joon Ho made history for International Film & South Korea as his movie won the hearts of this academy and #FilmTwitter members everywhere. So of course, we recap the 4 Oscars for Parasite atop the broadcast. Then we do take a quick break to discuss our upcoming programming before we dive into a recap of these 92nd Academy Awards. From all the musical numbers, comedy bits, presenters, nominees, winners, & losers - we react to it all with the over-caffeinated gusto you’ve come to expect from us. If you enjoyed tonight’s episode, please take a few moments to leave us 5 stars on Apple Podcasts. It truly helps us out so very much, and we thank you for your cooperation and support. Do also go back and enjoy our previous programming, most of which, should continue to play well long beyond this awards show. We’ve completed movie review episodes on all of the nominees, whether in our weekly shows, Oscar Race Checkpoint & MMOW, or in our Oscars Sprint Profile playlists, & dive into our re-watch series on Tarantino, Pixar, the MCU, the Halloween franchise, or The Joker Character Study. As always, we want to know your thoughts on such a big night. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail.

Attack of the Killer Soundtrack 60 This episode we're joined by composers Erich Stem and David Neville to play and discuss all the 2019 Oscar nominees for both Best Original Song and Best Original Score.  And while we kindle our memories of the intellectual components of some of our favorite films, we also cover… Beyoncé, Cats, The Oath, a classically trained cellist from Iceland, Call of Duty, that kind of exaggerated sound, Andrew Lloyd Webber, nostalgia and suicide, sounds versus themes, The Lion King, taiko drum score, various knobs, unfortunate and sad romantic, Billy Joel, Thom Yorke, pulsating synthesizers, minor third was heavily used, sophisticated electronic sounds, Hans Zimmer, classically-trained flautist, it’s an interesting parallel between him and Beethoven, the culture of myth-making, Stewart Copeland, this composer really broke out and did something quite new… with a movie, Taylor Swift, obsessed with sound, Madonna, a very dry recording, foreshadowing versus callbacks, adding some flavor to the film, follow characters by subtly changing sounds, drone sounds and single pitch noises, make grandiose, obligated to follow the story or at least the world in which they created, this beautiful musical universe, techniques that you hear in other movies and becoming a dentist.  “...it’s a unique challenge to try to write a score or write songs that are different enough to not seem like your being lazy, but also the same enough… to not completely throw everyone off.”

This week we review four movies: The Good Liar, starring Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen; The Report, starring Anette Bening; Judy, starring Renee Zellweger; and Harriet, starring Cynthia Erivo, as well as give you a heads up about new lesbian film, Portrait of a Lady of Fire, to which we will dedicate an episode of Lesbian Movie Club very soon!

Peace family, Elder Ahrayah Yasharahla back in the house with another thought-provoking show. What the hell is wrong with the mindset of our people. I want to touch on once again about the Harriet Tubman movie. Actress Cynthia Erivo is facing a backlash for her upcoming role as American abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Many are upset that Erivo, who is Nigerian-British, was given the part instead of an African American actress and they've been voicing their opinions online using #NotMyHarriet, #HarrietDeservesBetter, and #ADOS.

Branon and Jiles discuss Cynthia Erivo as Harriett and Kirk Franklin Boycott of The Dove Awards.

A lawyer, a host and a comedian mix a cocktail centered around Harriet's Opinion. This episode they discuss comments made by rapper T.I. regarding his daughter's virginity and the decisions he's been making as a father; and the Harriet Tubman biopic that was released and the backlash surrounding it. If you consider yourself a conversational mixologist, then hit play, until the bartender cuts you off.

The movie "Harriet" is to be a retelling of a great American Heroine, Harriet Tubman. However, Cynthia Erivo has caused a bit of controversy ahead of the release. We break down what Harriet means to Black Americans and the effects of Erivo's elitist thinking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-dope-black-chick/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-dope-black-chick/support

Ambo TV spoke with the cast and director of the new biopic HARRIET, in theaters November 1, which tells the remarkable story of the American hero and woman of faith Harriet Tubman. Director Kasi Lemmons and actress Cynthia Erivo talked about the centrality of faith in the film. Find out how Erivo said playing Harriet deepened her prayer life. Lemmons and Erivo also discussed the important role music played in Tubman's life. Leslie Odom Jr., who played Aaron Burr in the broadway hit Hamilton, plays William Still in the new movie. He answers whether it's easier playing a historical figure or fictional character.

Travis Greene, Cynthina Erivo, Leslie Odom Jr., Janelle Monáe and more are featured on this week's Gospel Updates.

It's crazy but this is our first Oscar podcast of the 2019/2020 awards season! With Berlin, Cannes, Venice, Telluride and Toronto behind us the Oscar season prospects are coming into view. Some things that looked strong in spring and now wilting in the fall, while others have emerged as frontrunners. I am joined (for the first time) by AwardsWatch's own Mina Takla. Mina hit Cannes and TIFF for AW this year, knocking out over two dozen fantastic reviews and providing a much-needed looking at the non-English language selections that 2019 has to offer. TIFF 19 Wrap-Up: From jokers to popes and birds to hustlers, here are the Best Films and Performances of the Toronto International Film Festival In this podcast, we begin discussing Mina's experience at TIFF and the films and performances he liked the best. We end that section talking about the Grolsch People's Choice winner Jojo Rabbit and its runners-up Marriage Story and Parasite, which propels us into the Oscar conversation. We cover Best Picture, Best Actor (with a focus on Joaquin Phoenix and Adam Driver), Best Actress (with a focus on Renée Zellweger and Cynthia Erivo), Documentary Feature and dabble in the supporting categories, as well as the historical potential of the Best Director category having more than woman director and/or two Asian directors with Bong Joon-ho (Parasite) and Lulu Wang (The Farewell) both in contention, on our way to closing out with the huge success and awards potential of Hustlers and the potential for Jennifer Lopez. My apologies in advance for some of the audio. Something's a bit buggy with my side of the recording (and yes, that clickety-clack is me) lately and I'm still working it out. Thank you for your patience! This podcast is 1h 17m with music. Opening: "Over the Rainbow," from Roadside Attractions' Judy, sung by Renée Zellweger Closing: "New York City By Day," by Thomas Newman from the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Desperately Seeking Susan

All We've Got To Say is that it's time to discuss The Color Purple! We talk plot squiggles, syncretic spirituality, and rage at Steven Spielberg. PLUS: there's always room for JLM at this jazz club. Theme music by Cullen Vance. Original Broadway Cast album: Amazon | iTunes | Spotify Video: 2006 Tony Awards performance by the Broadway revival cast.

This week’s Episode 49 of Real Black News features Screenwriter Selwyn Seyfu Hinds who discusses his days as Editor in Chief of The Source, how he broke into writing for film and TV, using art as activism and the top 5 black news stories of the week.  Ex-cop and author of Police Brutality Matters, Joe Ested, discusses the Eric Garner case, why Officer Pantaleo should be charged with murder, and the threats faced since turning in dirty cops. Entertainment journalist Ronda Racha Penrice joins “The Screen Grab” to talk Jennifer Lopez, Lena Waithe, and ex-NFL player Vernon Turner. Other topics include the NAACP, Puerto Rico, and Baltimore.

We profile 7 more categories including Original Screenplay, Supporting Actor, Costume Design, Animated Feature, Makeup & Hairstyling, Cinematography, and Lead Actress. Frozen vs Toy Story, Pitt vs Dafoe, Erivo vs Mirren - there’s some great races to preview here. How the Midyear Oscars Report Works - Top of Show Structure of Category Breakdowns - 1:37 Original Screenplay Category - 2:15 Supporting Actor Category - 11:05 Costume Design Category - 20:26 Make-Up and Hairstyling Category - 26:14 Animated Feature Category - 32:14 Best Cinematography Category - 39:23 Best Actress Category - 48:59 Your Homework/Our Socials - 58:34 What’s Next From MMO/Words of Wisdom - 59:31 It’s part 2 of our Mid-Year Oscars Report! As we did in the first part, we break down another 7 categories at the Academy Awards, and we hit on all of the major contenders while doing so. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood remains center stage, but we also hype up some more contenders like Harriet, Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, Little Women, 1917, Jojo Rabbit, The Last Thing He Wanted, The Laundromat, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, & many more. We also talk about some major stars along the way like Brad Pitt, our friend Willem Dafoe, Helen Mirren, Kristen Stewart, and of course, Quentin Tarantino. The episode format leads to some fun discussions. Toy Story 4 seems like its in a two picture race for Animated Feature with Frozen 2. CATS probably has good make-up, Downton Abbey may have some pretty damned good costumes, and Sam Mendes movies like 1917 probably have incredible cinematography. But on the flipside, we also think John Litgow will wear a well-made fat suit, Little Women is one of many period pieces where the dresses will be sewn with impeccable taste, and the Harriet set photos are stunning. So again, we preview each of these races with points & counterpoints, and with our picks for frontrunners, likely nominations, and wildcards. Stay tuned for Part 3, where we’ll finish the Mid-Year Report and build up to an overview of the Best Picture category. We’ll also have a major announcement about another new weekly show on the next MMOW. Hint, hint - it’s gonna be Oscar related. So we’ll have a lot to discuss in the coming months regarding this fast approaching awards season, and we’ll be doing a lot of what we do best - break down the Oscars! On that note, we’ll be doing many more Oscar Sprint Profile movie reviews. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood hits theaters next week, and we also plan on covering The Farewell, The Kitchen, Luce, Where’d You Go Bernadette, and The Goldfinch. And those are just the next flurry of contenders coming out through early September. There’s a whole bunch more for us to cover throughout the fall and winter leading into red carpet season. As always, we want to know how you see the race. We’re @MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & listen to us on iTunes, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you listen to podcasts. When reality sucks, keep watching movies with us. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar!

Episode 353 of The Harold & Maudecast features Sarah and Jake's guide to Summer 2019 Movies that won't suck (fingers crossed). We go through the list of what's dropping June, July and August and give our picks for ones to go see in the theaters. We also review two movies now streaming, Deadwood: The Movie and Bad Times at the El Royale. It's been a long time coming for Deadwood fans but the feature length film, Deadwood: The movie, gives the award-winning HBO series its badly deserved sunset ride. It's been 10 years since we visited the outpost in South Dakota, now a fully formed town equipped with a telephone and other modern amenities. All the residents (and we mean, all the entire cast re-assembled for the movie), gather to commemorate Dakota's statehood in 1889. Everyone's favorite saloon owner Al Swearengen (Ian McShane) and Marshal Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant_ clash with now Senator George Hearst (Gerald McRaney). The story doesn't tie up loose threads, per say, rather choosing to move forward with the story as it has been 13 years since the show met its untimely demise. It's a smart choice. Seeing how progress has affected Deadwood and its residents seems fitting. The script, penned by show creator David Milch, is as brilliant as Shakespearean as ever in its tragic brilliance and unapologetic ugliness. We highly recommend this film, must-see for fans of the series. If you haven't seen it, go binge it immediately then watch the film. You have the advantage of being able to see it instantly rather than being left hanging over a decade. All three seasons and Deadwood: The Movie are now streaming on HBO. Bad Times at the El Royale is a mash up of Agatha Christie's, And Then There Were None and the film Four Rooms. Set on the Nevada/California border circa 1969, a group of strangers ascend upon the El Royale motel in Tahoe. Each has a secret and a past, unveiled throughout the course of one stormy, violent night. The film is written and directed by Hollywood powerhouse Drew Goddard, (The Martian, World War Z, Daredevil, Lost, Buffy the Vampire, Lost, Cabin in the Woods) and stars Jeff Bridges, Chris Hemsworth, Dakota Fanning, Jon Hamm, Nick Offerman, Cynthia Erivo and Lewis Pullman (Bill Pullman's son) in a breakout role. From the open sequence the film looks both cool and creepy, which is exactly what you want in a mystery. The first half continues to allude with the promise of classic mystery twists and turns. Unfortunately, the introduction of Hemsworth, who is horribly miscast as the Manson-esque psycho killer, re-routes the story in a trite and predictable direction. Still worth watching for the performances, Bridges, Pullman and British actress Erivo who charms with her renditions of Motown classics. Also in this episode, highlights from E3 2019.
