En el ir y venir en las relaciones entre dos personajes está el meollo de muchas de las series actuales. No hace falta que sean parejas con lazos amorosos; de hecho ninguna de las que comenta esta semana Juan Luis Álvarez está unida por ellos. Un inspector y su exjefa, dos hermanos que no lo son en realidad y dos amigas que son mejores cuando están juntas protagonizan este nuevo capítulo de Enseriados. Half Man (temporada 1, episodios 6, Movistar y HBO) Richard Gadd, que obtuvo un gran impacto con la inquietante "Mi reno de peluche", es el creador de la incómoda Half Man, la historia de la relación entre dos chavales que crecen juntos como hermanos en un entorno donde la violencia es el idioma afectivo. El relato se cuenta en dos tiempos. En la actualidad, cuando uno de ellos irrumpe en la boda de otro y provoca un estallido que deja claro que entre ellos existe un pasado tan íntimo como corrosivo. A partir de ahí, la serie retrocede a los años 80 y 90 para mostrar cómo se conocieron, cómo se convirtieron en una especie de hermanos no oficiales y cómo esa cercanía se fue contaminando por la rabia, la culpa, la represión emocional y un deseo que ninguno de los dos sabía nombrar. La serie se nutre de riñas, silencios, reconciliaciones torpes, momentos de ternura que se rompen en segundos y una tensión afectiva que nunca se resuelve del todo. Lo mejor: Consigue conmover dentro de la incomodidad que provoca. Los intérpretes, Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) y el propio Richard Gadd, así como los jóvenes que interpretan sus papeles de adolescentes están espectaculares. Lo peor: No es una serie indicada para espectadores poco formados o muy sensibles. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd8NCdA9pfo Hacks (emporadas 5, episodios 40, Movistar Plus + y HBO) Hacks narra la evolución de la relación entre una legendaria cómica de Las Vegas cuya carrera se tambalea y una joven guionista cancelada que llega a su vida como una imposición profesional, y lo que empieza como un choque generacional lleno de desprecio mutuo se convierte en una relación compleja, tóxica, tierna y profundamente transformadora. Lserie muestra cómo la escritora a la diva a enfrentarse a décadas de dolor, traiciones, machismo y decisiones crueles que tomó para sobrevivir en la industria, mientras ésta le enseña disciplina, ambición y la dureza necesaria para no desaparecer en un mundo que devora a los débiles. Lo mejor: Lo bien que está todo contado mezclando humor ácido, diálogos afilados, situaciones incómodas y momentos de vulnerabilidad que aparecen sin aviso, con una estética de backstage que muestra camerinos, giras, rodajes y negociaciones. Jean Smart está brutal. Lo peor: Que se acabe ya. Aunque la han rematado muy bien. https: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cf6ExSkHHo Under Salt Marsh (temporada 1, episodios 6, Skyshowtime) Under Salt Marsh es una miniserie británica interpretada por Kelly Reilly, Rafe Spall, Naomi Yang, Jonathan Pryce, Dino Fetscher, Kimberley Nixon, Mark Stanley y otros. La serie narra cómo Jackie Ellis (Kelly Reilly) una ex detective convertida en profesora, encuentra el cadáver de un niño de ocho años, en las marismas de Morfa Halen, lo que reabre las heridas del caso que destruyó su carrera tres años atrás: la desaparición de su sobrina Nessa, nunca resuelta, y que la obligó a abandonar la policía. Ahora se ve obligada a colaborar de nuevo con su antiguo compañero Eric Bull (Rafe Spall) con quien tiene deudas profesionales y emocionales pendientes. Lo mejor: Su atmósfera de "noir gales" y su retrato de una comunidad rural fracturada por secretos, silencios y culpas compartidas Lo peor: Su trama no es especialmente original, pero se deja ver con agrado.

Luke is back with Matt and Dawn to review four new shows available on different platforms this week. First, HBO's teen drama Euphoria returns for its long-awaited third season. The series, which was once one of the most talked-about and provocative shows on television, now sees its characters outside of the high school setting. The third season still features a powerhouse performance from Zendaya as drug addict Rue, but it's the outer edges and the inclusion of other stars like Jacob Elordi and Sydney Sweeney and their disjointed stories that work less well. Was the long wait really worth it? Next, one of the most beloved shows of the last ten years, Hacks, returns to Sky One for its fifth and final season. Jean Smart and Hannah Einbeinder are still fantastic together, and this season gets off to a strong start because it sees the pair on the same page and not at odds as they have been at the start of each previous season. It's a show full of confidence that knows what it wants to do, full of characters we care about, and we're not quite ready for its final bow. Also returning is Netflix's now-anthology series, Beef. The twisted comedy drama, which began as a series starring Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, as two people caught in a petty argument that takes over their lives. With the second season, the argument or 'beef' at the centre of the story comes when a young couple stumbles across a vicious domestic fight between their bosses. Helemed by strong performances from Calliee Spaney and Carey Mulligan, it's a show about power, and one that puts you in the same stressed place as its characters. The first season was focused solely on the two caught up in the 'beef', but season 2 has a lot going on outside of the battling couples.  Lastly, the BBC has a brand new drama, Mint, which is a romantic gangster show aimed at a younger audience. On one hand, it's another example of the BBC trying something new in prime time, but on the other, we have a lot of thoughts about why it just doesn't work. For our quiz, Dawn challenges the boys to name as many Friends guest stars as they can.

Tonight, the second episode of Hacks Season 5 comes out and with it, we are one step closer to the bittersweet end of a delightful show that has been running since pandemic times. In this episode Deborah Vance and the cast headed to New York City and for The Run-Through episode, the real Deborah—Jean Smart—sat down with Chloe in the studio to talk about what it's been like to be Deborah for five seasons and what comes next.“I definitely feel more like her. Or, she feels more like me,” Smart said of her character, “I mean, we look a lot alike.” She also alluded to the sarcastic sense of humor which she and Deborah both possess. As for where they differ, Smart noted that she doesn't grapple with the same anger, bitterness, and distrust that fuels many of Deborah's choices. “That's sort of been her fuel for many, many years and I think she starts to learn to give that up this season,” Smart observed.Smart will miss a lot of aspects of Hacks, not least of which are Deborah's vast and fabulous wardrobe and her tastefully designed home. “I'm a little bit of a pack rat,” Jean confessed in regards to saving clothes from over the years, though she doesn't have nearly the level of organization that exists within Debroah's wardrobe warehouse, which we glimpsed in Season 4. She was hesitant to speak on whether she took any of the clothes from set but she proudly declared that she took the drapes from Deborah's home. “And I would do it again. There! I said it!”Of course, besides the clothes, Smart is certainly going to miss working with Hannah Einbinder who she deeply admires. She also credited her with broadening her understanding of Gen-Z. “I'm definitely more woke after meeting Ms. Einbinder.” Smart isAlso on today's episode Chioma was joined by British Vogue's Radhika Seth to talk about the BV goings on. Today the Charli XCX cover is out, as is Radhika's story with the leads of Apple TV's Margo's Got Money Troubles, Elle Fanning and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Dearest esteemed leadership of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. We respectfully and fervently request the honor of serving as presenters for the Lead Actress category during the primetime telecast of the 2027 Emmy Awards: roles for which we have physically, cosmetically, and emotionally been preparing for our entire lives.

We hereby earnestly and unapologetically plead that you include us in the live primetime ceremony, as we would approach this responsibility with reverence and solemnity, and nary a whiff of our typically-bawdy senses of humor. With deepest admiration for the Academy and operatic hope for your favorable consideration, we remain faithfully yours, Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo; already practicing our teleprompter-reading and envelope-opening skills in preparation for your call.

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 108th episode of VideoFuzzy titled "Tenuous Connections," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. Plus, with this episode I celebrate cataloging disc 2000 in my Classic Collection. I open with my Fuzzy Feature, discussing "Plateau," a third-season episode of "Fringe" in which a neurological lab subject is suspected of committing murders via chain reactions and tenuous connections. I talk about "The Second Thousand," the pace of this project as I look back on nearly nine years of this cataloging effort, and the sorts of things I have to look forward to as the cataloging portion of this project is coming to a close. In Cross Connections, I track connections through the rather impressive back catalog of Michael Eklund, the lab subject in that episode of "Fringe." Also, Rachel Miner, Shawn Ryan, Ted Griffin, Adam Carrera, McG, Maggie Q, Shane West, Lyndsy Fonseca, Melinda Clarke, Linda Hamilton, Tim Curry, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Munn, Vanessa Williams, Kate Micucci, Jennifer Aniston, Michael Chiklis, Julie Benz, Rhea Perlman, William Shatner, Nicole Sullivan, Will Sasso, Tom Stashwick, Missi Pyle, Cybill Shepherd, Jean Smart, Sam Pancake, Tim Bagley, Steve Austin, Nicole Richie, Alex O'Laughlin, Daniel Dae Kim, Grace Park, Chi McBride, Jorge Garcia, Masi Oka, Ian Anthony Dale, Scott Caan, D.B. Sweeney, Clea Duvall, Zeljko Ivanek, Lawrence Pressman, Michael Cristofer, Will Arnett, David Cross and Russell Tovey. In "Fond Reflections," I am joined by longtime friend and friend of the pod Marc Bailey, also known as Grailwolf, in a farewell to Nicholas Brendon, who we said goodbye to this month. Brendon's strongest presence in my media collection was as Xander Harris in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," as well as a principal role in "Kitchen Confidential" and a recurring role in "Criminal Minds." In my Classic Collection [VHS-to-DVD transfers], I celebrated cataloging discs 1976 through 2000 with a detailed discussion of what I was finding in this set, with comments on "Terriers," "Nikita," a Trident commercial that caught my eye, an IFC documentary called "Portraits of Braddock," "Mad Men," "Rubicon," Stephen Colbert cosplaying Peter Sellers' character Doctor Strangelove, clip shared to VideoFuzzy's Instagram. Also, "Hung," "Covert Affairs," "The Closer," "Chuck," "The Event," "Criminal Minds," "Cougar Town," "$#*! My Dad Says," "Boardwalk Empire," "Grey's Anatomy," "Glee," "Raising Hope," "No Ordinary Family," Aaron Sorkin and "The Social Network," "The Good Guys," "Monty Python's Flying Circus" and "The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret." In Book Reports, comments on Caleb Carr's "Surrender, New York"; Katheryn Harkup's "A is for Arsenic: The Poisons of Agatha Christie"; Caroline Crampton's "A Body Made of Glass" and M.C. Beaton's "Agatha Raisin and The Vicious Vet." In my Current Collection [direct to digital], I added Marilyn Manson's video "God is in the TV" (1999), as well as "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975), "The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again" (2016), "Desperately Seeking Susan" (1985), "Who's That Girl?" (1987), "Dick Tracy" (1990), "A League of Their Own" (1992), "The Crazy World of Julius Vrooder" (1974), "Heretic" (2024) and "Mister Sterling" which I found posted to Margaret X's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@margaretx6030.

Puntata a cura di Untimoteo.Se c'era ancora qualche dubbio sul peso specifico di Hacks, i Golden Globes del 2026 li hanno spazzati via definitivamente. La serie non è più solo una sorpresa o un "titolo di culto": è diventata un'egemonia culturale. Dopo aver spodestato The Bear agli Emmy 2024, l'ennesimo premio ai Globes ha confermato Jean Smart come l'indiscussa sovrana della commedia mondiale, capace di vincere ancora e ancora. Proprio come la sua Deborah Vance.In Italia il percorso distributivo purtroppo procede a rilento: attualmente su Netflix abbiamo per ora a disposizione solo la prima e la seconda stagione di quattro (una quinta è già annunciata). Anche se è facile immaginare che HBO Max, produttrice dello show e di recente sbarcata in Italia, prima o poi porterà a compimento la distribuzione anche nel nostro Paese. "5 minuti 1 serie" è il format del podcast di Mondoserie che racconta appunto una serie in poco più di cinque minuti (o meno di dieci!).

Katie Couric pokes fun at Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad in a new PSA for colon cancer screenings. The clip opens to a close-up of Katie wearing a jean jacket, and quickly pans out to show she's wearing a hospital gown underneath, and she's on a gurney getting ready for a colonoscopy. She tells the camera, quote, "Speaking of genes. Did you know that the majority of people who develop colon cancer are not genetically predisposed to the disease? That's why doctors recommend everyone 45 and older get checked." Katie told "People" magazine, quote, "That ad showed how pop culture and a pair of jeans could really shape the cultural conversation, it was everywhere. It was a moment in time, and we thought, 'Why don't we ride that horse a little bit longer and have some fun with it?'" It'sbeen 25 years since Katie became the first person in history to broadcast a colonoscopy on national TV. She lost her husband to colon cancer in 1998. He was only 42.

When the show was in production back in the day, the house was only used for EXTERIOR shots. The inside of the Brady home was created on a soundstage, and the inside of the actual house looked nothing like it. But HGTV bought the house in 2018, and renovated it so that it DOES match the house from the show. And of course, they recorded it for a series called "A Very Brady Renovation".

She also talks about overcoming the intimidation of acting with Jean Smart, compares the generational gap between their characters to her relationship with her own mother (original SNL cast member Laraine Newman), and reveals how Stephen Colbert helped land her the role that changed her career.

The video was 3/4's correct.   Because the footage shows three planes in a hangar on Saipan - two Japanese Zeros and another plane covered by camouflage.  Amelia confirms that this was her Electra - which they found "the next day."  And is part of the book SHE WAS NEVER LOST: THE AMELIA EARHART SAGA.  Read it to give this comment context. Then we invited Robert Redford to speak to us.  It happens sometimes where I feel like "someone is bugging me" and two days ago that happened. So I asked him all the questions that I could muster about his family and friends. I know the family asked for privacy and apologies for asking him for messages for them - but we've been doing this weekly for ten years now. I've learned that even if a person doesn't believe that we're speaking to their loved one, eventually they come to realize it's accurate. Jennifer revealed she did a reading with Jean Smart, the Emmy winner of "Hacks" - and while not revealing anything they talked about, described the process of their getting together. And then throughout the podcast, she had other things come to mind - working on Robert's daughter's fiancee's case in Colorado - something she hadn't thought about in ten years, but came to her the night before he passed. Jennifer has been working with members of Kobe's family (they've allowed her to say that) - and other folks.  The point isn't about celebrity - it's about the fact that Jennifer has the ability to just say whatever comes to mind. I asked Robert how it was he was aware of our class, and Kobe showed Jennifer that it was his introduction that made him show up. We've interviewed a number of his pals, Sidney Pollack's daughter wrote to me that everything we reported was accurate about her, about him turning his chair around and packing his cigarettes while he answered questions. Sidney confirmed a latter he'd written to my pal Phillip Noyce before he passed.  We've been doing this for awhile. So I dove into the interview. He had messages for his pals, I asked for them by first names, but anyone could figure out who he's referring to.   So Jane Fonda, Barbra Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, Bob Woodward, Meryl Streep, Rod Lurie - he has a comment for all of you.  It doesn't matter if one believes it's him speaking to them or not - eventually we'll realize the process.   Jennifer can be reaches at JenniferShaffer.com, I can be reached at RichardMartini.com He gives some sage advice about politics, and lowering the political temperature.

From red carpets to crime scenes, Conway's show covered it all. At the 2025 Emmys, The Pitt finally delivered Noah Wyle his first Emmy after 26 years, Severance made history with Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman's wins, and The Studio broke comedy records as Seth Rogen and Jean Smart took top honors. Meanwhile, headlines turned dark with Charlize Theron's car stolen and a brazen Woodland Hills robbery tied to a kidnapping. In Santa Monica, officials dyed the ocean pink to study wave circulation and worsening water quality, while L.A.'s Sixth Street Bridge sat vandalized and stripped of copper wiring. Conway wrapped the hour with his NFL “Pick the Game” segment — where the losers got called out loud and clear.

The Emmys hit Sunday September 14 and on this episode of The Rehashables we are loaded with takes. We gush about Nate Bargatze hosting, run category by category, and make bold but lovable picks. The Studio to headline comedy with Seth Rogen vs Jason Segel for Lead Actor, Jean Smart and Jessica Williams lurking, Brian Cranston and Zoe Kravitz for those scene stealing cameos. On drama we are backing Severance to sweep, show love to Andor, size up White Lotus, Paradise, The Pit, Diplomat, and Slow Horses. Limited Series race is Adolescence vs The Penguin, Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti get flowers, and teen phenom Owen Cooper is our "dont overthink it" pick. We close with watchlist fuel HBOs Task, Alien: Earth, Peacemaker Season 2, Netflix's Unknown Sender Catfish, and a quick Stephen King detour The Long Walk. Football all day, Emmys all night, lets argue.

Writer, executive-producer, and co-creator of Hacks Jen Statsky joins Sam to discuss her particular brand of hopeful pessimism, and their shared obsession with Jean Smart, who she says is one of the greatest nappers of all time. Jen explains that she is decisive if it’s a decision that only involves herself, but as soon as she brings in other people, there’s a big problem. Which is why she’s fortunate to have two amazing co-showrunners of Hacks, because they make most of the decisions together and she loves it—from hiring to writing assignments to what kind of office birthday cake to buy. They lament the lack of respect male comedians have traditionally held for female comedians who have come before them, and why six years may not sound like a lot but it’s an eternity in TV years. comedians have written off way more successful female comedians for eternity. They talk about what it’s like to go from being a staff-writer to being in charge of all the writers, and how the late night landscape has changed to be almost unrecognizable since Hacks began and how Jen kind of wants to leave her career to become a couples therapist.

The three creators of the Emmy-nominated comedy series ‘Hacks' had no idea they were predicting the future when they had their central late-night host character defiantly speak out against her network bosses and then lose her dream job. In this episode, Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky break down the “surreal” parallels between Deborah Vance's arc in Season 4 and the real-life tribulations of Stephen Colbert. They talk about the importance of late-night TV, what its future might hold, and reveal how they got Jimmy Kimmel to play a bully version of himself on the show. The trio also goes deep on casting leads Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder, as well as this year's Emmy-nominated guest stars Robby Hoffman and Dance Mom herself, Julianne Nicholson.
