Min 1: INTRODUCCIÓN Menudo contraste encontramos esta semana entre el mundo del cine y el de las series. Sin títulos de relumbrón en las salas, las plataformas nos meten en la Semana Santa con una de esas ofertas en las que bien cabe esa frase de 'no te digo que me lo mejores....igualamelo'. Y es que pocas veces son novedad, por estar recién estrenadas, series como Black Mirror, El Cuento de la Criada o la premiadísima comedia Hacks. Min 5: BLACK MIRROR 7 (3,5 estrellas) El futuro se vuelve a oscurecer con una mirada más íntima y provocadora . Después de una sexta temporada que dividió opiniones por su giro hacia el terror y lo sobrenatural, Black Mirror regresa en su séptima entrega con una apuesta más equilibrada entre la sátira tecnológica que la catapultó a la fama y nuevas exploraciones narrativas que juegan con géneros y emociones. Creada por Charlie Brooker, esta nueva temporada —compuesta por cinco episodios— retoma el pulso de una humanidad atrapada entre avances tecnológicos y dilemas morales. Min 14: EL CUENTO DE LA CRIADA 6 (4 estrellas) La sexta temporada de El Cuento de la Criada marca un punto de inflexión en la narrativa distópica que ha definido a esta serie desde sus inicios. Mientras Gilead comienza a resquebrajarse desde dentro y los ecos de la resistencia crecen más allá de sus fronteras, el conflicto ya no es solo político: es profundamente personal. La historia retoma a una June Osborne (Elisabeth Moss) más endurecida, menos impulsiva, pero no menos determinada. Exiliada en Canadá, entre campos de refugiados y tensiones diplomáticas, la protagonista sigue siendo el epicentro de una lucha emocional que trasciende la guerra: la batalla por la identidad, el perdón y la maternidad bajo el trauma. Min 22: HACKS 4 (4 estrellas) En su cuarta temporada, Hacks demuestra que sigue teniendo algo que decir —y lo hace con el filo de siempre, pero con una madurez emocional que se siente más afilada y menos cínica. La comedia dramática de HBO Max, creada por Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs y Jen Statsky, continúa explorando la turbulenta, pero magnética relación entre Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) y Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder), ahora en una etapa donde la fama ya no es aspiración, sino una carga. Min 26: THE WHITE LOTUS 3: FINAL SIN 4 ESTRELLAS (3,5) La cuarta temporada de The White Lotus prometía ser la más audaz hasta la fecha: un nuevo resort, nuevos rostros privilegiados, y el ya clásico cadáver flotando como anzuelo narrativo. Pero a diferencia de las anteriores entregas, donde el humor ácido y el comentario social hilaban el caos con inteligencia, esta vez la serie de Mike White cierra su temporada con un desenlace que se siente tan vacío como las maletas de sus protagonistas. Min 36: PREPARADOS PARA THE LAST OF US. T2 "The Last of Us" temporada 2 abre con una herida sin cerrar y una tensión brutal Después de una primera temporada que conquistó a crítica y público al adaptar con fidelidad e inteligencia el aclamado videojuego de Naughty Dog, The Last of Us regresa con un primer episodio de su segunda temporada que no pierde el tiempo: es intenso, emocionalmente devastador y, sobre todo, valiente. Min 39. BSO THE CHOSEN (LOS ELEGIDOS) 3,5 estrellas Compuesta principalmente por Matthew S. Nelson y Dan Haseltine (vocalista de la banda Jars of Clay), la banda sonora de The Chosen no busca dramatizar lo evidente, sino subrayar lo invisible: la tensión interna de los personajes, el misterio de lo divino en lo cotidiano, y la humanidad profunda de figuras como Jesús, Pedro o María Magdalena. Aprovechando el estreno en salas de "La última cena", el primer capítulo de su quinta temporada, analizamos con Ángel Luque la aportación musical de "The Chosen".

JOIN TSL WORKSHOPS: www.tslworkshops.circle.so When Paul W. Downs, Jen Statsky, and Lucia Aniello were first pitching Hacks, they didn't have a precise tonal comp when the network asked.

Today, Paul and Jen discuss HOW they walk that tightrope while writing, and how centering Ava and Deborah's professional and personal relationship serves as their creative North Star helps the process.

We owe one of the most moving comedy-dramas in recent TV history to a monster truck rally. Jen Statsky was en route to Portland, Oregon to film a comedy sketch at the Monster Jam rally back in 2015 when she got chatting with her road trip accomplices, fellow comedy writers Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs. They spoke about the history of pushed-aside women in the entertainment industry – female comedians like Singin' In The Rain star Debbie Reynolds, whose careers were derailed by misogynistic practices in Hollywood. On that day, Hacks was born – a HBO series up for a number of awards at this year's Emmys and deservedly so. The show – starring Jean Smart as a comedian in the twilight of her career and Hannah Einbinder as the young comic sent to write new material for her – is as funny as you'd expect from Jen, whose previous TV writing credits include The Good Place, Parks and Recreation and Broad City. But it's also tremendously emotive. She and fellow series creators Lucia and Paul have crafted a show that's both heartwarming and heartbreaking in its depiction of an unlikely female friendship that makes each party look at the world a little differently. In this episode, Jen talks about the thousands of titles explored for the show before they landed on Hacks, the evolutions in the streaming market that have allowed for shows like this and Barry to so ambitiously blend comedy with drama, and how some of the show's most memorable moments to date were written. This is a spoiler conversation so you might want to catch up on the series in its entirety before tuning in.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

Host Geri Cole is joined by Jen Statsky—co-creator and showrunner of the HBO Max series HACKS—to talk about the show's journey from an idea on a road trip to a hit series, why writing about people's flaws can bring out the best in a character, and the challenges of writing a comedy series about writing comedy. Jen Statsky is a TV writer and comedian who cut her comedy-writing teeth on Twitter. Her posts were popular, and she eventually found herself with enough of a following that, in 2011, the account helped her land her first TV writing job at LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON. Since then, she has written for a number of hit comedies, including BROAD CITY, THE GOOD PLACE, and PARKS & RECREATION (all while maintaining her Twitter account, of course). She currently serves as the showrunner of the comedy-drama series HACKS. The series, which Statsky co-created with Lucia Aniello and Paul W. Downs, follows legendary stand-up comic Deborah Vance (played by Jean Smart) as she works to maintain relevancy through a reluctant partnership with struggling millennial comedy writer Ava. The show premiered in May 2021, and was recently renewed for a second season. It's available to stream on HBO Max. -- Before it was a podcast, OnWriting was a print publication.

Editors - Jess Brunetto, Susan Vaill ACE, Ali Greer Hacks editors Jess Brunetto, Susan Vaill ACE and Ali Greer each find themselves nominated for an Emmy® award for their work on Season One of their hit series. For those not familiar with the show, Hacks is an American comedy-drama series created by Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky that streams on HBO Max. The show tells the story of two very funny women at different points in their careers. Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas stand-up comedy diva, is struggling to maintain relevance while the head of the casino where she performs tries to pare down on her performance dates. Ava is a Gen Z comedy writer who is unable to find work due to being "canceled" over an insensitive tweet. The two reluctantly team up to freshen up Vance's material, while learning to respect each other's differences along the way. JESS BRUNETTO Jess Brunetto is a director, writer, producer and editor. Her film work has screened at Cannes, Venice and Sundance. Her directorial debut Sisters (2021) premiered at SXSW and was nominated for the Grand Jury Award. In addition to Hacks, her other editor credits include; Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens (2020), Broad City (2014), American Vandal (2017) and Jordan Peele's The Last O.G. (2018), on which she also served as an associate producer. SUSAN VAILL ACE Susan's love of music-driven storytelling has led her to be described as 'a legendary music supervisor masquerading as an award-winning editor.' After assistant-editing documentaries and feature films like The Last Samurai (2003), Susan edited over 70 episodes of Grey's Anatomy (2005) which won the Golden Globe for Best Drama Series in 2008. Susan also directed three episodes of the series, one of which featured an Emmy-winning performance by guest actress Loretta Devine.

Sempre que uma pessoa sai do armário, nós celebramos. É quando alguém tem a chance de ser que ela realmente é, livre para amar quem ela desejar e possivelmente um novo aliado ou aliada na luta por um mundo mais igualitário. Pelo menos é isso que nós desejamos, mas nem sempre é o que de fato acontece. E quando o sair do armário se transforma em uma estratégia de marketing, será que vale a pena? Para discutir esse tema, Fernando recebe novamente Letícia do Podcast Sapa Justa, David do Desculpa o Atraso, Gui Neves do Biscoito Podcast e Zé Henrique do Bisão Voador. Juntos, eles analisam a saída do armário do governador do Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, sob a ótica da oportunidade política. Será que quando um homem cis branco se declara gay em uma grande emissora de TV, ele está de fato contribuindo para a visibilidade ou pode haver uma estratégia de marketing muito bem elaborada por trás desse momento tão importante? É possível de fato lucrar em se declarar parte da comunidade LGBTQIA+, tão perseguida atualmente no Brasil de Bolsonaro? Se Joga!

One of Adam Bricker's favorite things about being a cinematographer is the opportunity to collaborate with different filmmakers, try something new and make each project the best it can be. His most recent project is the HBO Max comedy series Hacks, which just earned him an Emmy nomination for best cinematography. Adam was given the scripts for the first two episodes, and loved the pilot script, which opens with a long Steadicam single shot following behind the main character, Deborah Vance, played by Jean Smart, for two minutes, until her character is finally revealed in the dressing room vanity mirror. Adam knew it's a rare thing to find a half-hour comedy with that level of cinema, and he was excited to shoot the show. Hacks takes place in Las Vegas, about a legendary comedian who is losing relevance and fading from the spotlight. Adam and show creator Lucia Aniello used vintage Las Vegas movies and photos as a reference point, as well as films such as Soderberg's Behind The Candelabra and Judy with Renée Zellweger. Adam likes to set the look based on how the viewer is supposed to feel, and he makes notes in his scripts about what emotions should be felt in each scene. Most of Hacks is filmed on tripods and dollies, but for the verbal duels between characters Deborah Vance and Ava, her young comedy writer/protégé, Adam chose to shoot handheld, which gives those scenes more energy and naturalism. Lighting on the show goes from naturalistic, when Deborah is at home or when Ava is in Los Angeles, contrasted with vintage glamorous stage lighting when Deborah performs her comedy act. Adam grew up in Chicago and attended film school there before attending the USC summer cinema program, which inspired him to transfer to USC and continue studying cinematography. After college, Adam began taking as many jobs as he could, and planned to work his way up through the camera department, before a DP mentor suggested he buy a camera and take as many cinematography jobs as possible. He and a group of friends invested in a Red One digital camera, and Adam shot dozens of music videos and low-budget films. The Netflix series Chef's Table has taken Adam all over the world. As one of the primary DPs of Chef's Table, Adam and show creator David Gelb have established the artistic look of the modern cuisine documentary, which has since been imitated by countless other food shows. When the show began, Adam had never shot a documentary before, so he had a more cinematic approach to the show, only using prime lenses and no zoom lenses. For him, it's been a dream job to explore new places, eat amazing food at excellent restaurants and work with good friends on the crew.

Hoy conversamos sobre la comedia "Rough Night" (2017) de la directora Lucia Aniello. Acompañanos en nuestras reflexiones, críticas, contradicciones, comedias, dispersiones y mas junto a @_Sgniward_ehs y @belencito_ .
We may have initially resisted jumping on what felt like an over-hyped bandwagon for this HBO Max hit, but Hacks and the brilliance of Jean Smart won us over instantly! If you loved Hacks as much as we do, you'll want to listen to our discussion of these complicated women, Deborah and Hannah. We start by marveling at how their coming together allows us to love them each even more as individuals. ** Scenes. We wanted to discuss them all, but we managed to narrow it down to some of our favorites. We discuss Episode 2, “Primm”, which Carinn declares the best episode of TV ever! I think we're still humming that Selena Gomez song in our heads! (06:52); Episode 6, “New Eyes” where Deborah literally gets her eyes done, but figuratively they end up seeing each other in new ways (20:32); Episode 9, “The Interview,” has Kate on the couch, relating to Deborah's vulnerability with a reporter (32:43); and Episode 10, “I Think She Will”, is a finale with a fight, a funeral and a bombshell cliffhanger. (41:40) ** What's Your Damage? It's like the creators of Hacks just knew how much we love mommy issues! Talk about a theme that runs through-out this show! (56:25) ** What She Said (or in this case, What They Said). We deep dive into our first writing trio, Lucia Aniello, Paul Downs and Jen Statsky, marveling about the dynamic of these long-time friends and real life couple. (60:02) ** Who Won The Show? For Kate, the winner is generational conflict and for Carinn it's the brilliant reversal of typical female tropes displayed through-out this show. (66:37) **Takeaways. Kate takes a quote from co-creator Jen Statsky and gets personal about collaboration and saying yes. Carinn talks about ambition and the ways we see that depicted in Hacks are nuanced and original.

One of the three co-creators of the new HBO Max series “Hacks,” Aniello also directed six of the 10 episodes (including the first three) and together with cinematographer Adam Bricker employed a purposeful and effective use of the camera so sorely missing from most half-hour comedy series. On the podcast Lucia discusses casting a non-standup in Jean Smart, creating her routines, and how she used the camera to tell the story of Deborah Vance (Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder). Bricker joins the second half of the podcast to talk about creating the look of a classic Vegas and avoiding the pitfalls inherent with cross-shooting a comedy series.

Qu’il s’agisse de quelques verres pour l’apéro, d’ouvrir une bouteille pour les grandes occasions, ou encore de boire à outrance et le plus vite possible pour épater les autres, l’alcool a une place très importante dans notre société.

“Lead the good aside and focus on the GREAT” About Bill Bill Timoney has worked in the Arts & Entertainment industry for over four decades. As an actor, his extensive resume includes Broadway and regional theatre, films, prime time & day time TV, commercials, and voice-acting (he specializes in dubbing English language versions of foreign language movies, TV shows, and animated programs). Bill’s eclectic and wide-ranging work experience also includes producing independent films, writing (including a screenplay for the Nickelodeon Channel’s TV movie division), directing, stand-up comedy, brief stints working for both a casting director and a talent agency, advising film festivals, and even coordinating stunts for low-budget Horror flicks. For the last five years, Bill has operated a coaching service for actors and a script coverage & assessment service for producers and talent agencies (by recommendation only). He often works with his longtime friend and collaborator Bryan Cranston; Bill helped Cranston’s production company “Moonshot” create & develop the Amazon Prime TV series “The Dangerous Book for Boys” (for which Bill also served as the on-set acting coach for all the child actors in the cast). Bill currently writes the column “Heard and not Seen: Adventures in Voice-Acting” for the national publication Videoscope Magazine. Why you need to create your own opportunities.

This one has nowhere near enough boys' basketball in it, but that kind of sums up Mr. Prezzioso's life anyway, so it all checks out. Plenty to discuss this week anyway as the boys encounter a new and improved Dawn, speculate about what's in Mimi's special tea, and perform in the auditions of their lifetime with their special guest: “Baby-Sitters Club” Director and Executive Producer, Lucia Aniello. Music credits: “Overture,” by Lionheart “Laisse pas Traîner Ton Fils,” by Suprême NTM “Don't Leave Me,” by Lionel Schmitt “Stardust,” by Fox Beat Stock Music Thanks as always to original Baby Boy Scott Lamb for the intro music, and to Superbrat for the outro music.

Are you a Claudia, a Kristy, a Mary Anne, a Stacey, or a Dawn? Brenna certainly has her dream answer (and her reality) as we nostalgically revisit one of the most enduring YA series of the 90s. As a novice to the series, Brenna walks Joe through the format of each book, why these characters played such a significant role in her life and why Logan is so dreadful!Questions for discussion include whether the Netflix revival should have wrapped after 8 episodes instead of 10 and why Alicia Silverstone is such an asset as Kristy's mom. Plus: which episodes/plot lines made us cry? Why the series is libel to be called "woke" and why that's not a bad thing and the unexpected queerness of the text.Wanna connect with the show?

Depuis plusieurs siècles, les hommes disent adieu à leur célibat en s'adonnant à diverses festivités que l'on peut résumer en un sigle: EVG, pour enterrement de vie de garçon. C'est souvent le lieu de tous les excès, là où finit par s'exprimer ce qu'il y a de pire en chacun. Bienvenue dans un univers riche en testostérone, en alcools forts et en comportements détestables. Un mercredi sur deux, Mansplaining observe les masculinités à travers des œuvres culturelles et des faits d'actualité. Parce que la parole masculine est dominante, sauf lorsqu'il s'agit d'interroger les privilèges des hommes. Si vous aimez Mansplaining, pensez à l'exprimer en lui donnant la note maximale sur iTunes et ailleurs, en en parlant autour de vous, et en laissant plein de commentaires bienveillants sur les réseaux sociaux.
