Podcasts about Poorna Jagannathan

Mutant yearning, Richmond improv, one last Reacher bloodbath, and the least reliable piece of cosmic jewelry in the galaxy. This week on THE Infamous Podcast, Brian and Darryl wade into the bizarre Wolverine and Sabretooth “yearning” discourse surrounding Insomniac's new Marvel's Wolverine. Then it's back to Richmond for Ted Lasso Season 4, Episode 7, before Reacher wraps Season 4 with one appropriately violent finale. Finally, Lanterns blows Rushville to hell, John Stewart questions everything he thought he wanted, and the most powerful weapon in the DC Universe starts looking like something you found at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Wolverine Sexual Confusion in the new Insomniac Game: 2:25 Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode 7: 10:14 Reacher Season 4 Episode 8: 22:05 Lanterns Season 1 Episode 5: 35:04 Wolverine Controversy Marvel's Wolverine Developer: Insomniac Games Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment Platform: PlayStation 5 Release Date: September 15, 2026 Genre: Single-player action-adventure Starring: Liam McIntyre as Logan/Wolverine, Krizia Bajos as Jean Grey, with Sabretooth, Mystique, Nathaniel Essex and other X-Men characters appearing in the story. Sony describes the game as an original Wolverine adventure developed by Insomniac in collaboration with Marvel Games. What the Hell Happened? The whole thing started with Gene Park's Washington Post review. While describing Logan and Sabretooth's long, violent relationship, Park writes about Sabretooth grabbing the back of Logan's head during a mission in what he describes as a brief moment of “yearning.” Insomniac narrative director Walt Williams then uses the same word while explaining the scene, saying Logan feels that yearning, becomes frightened by it and pulls away. Williams frames the relationship around intertwined love, hate, pain and their long history together. Predictably, the internet took “Wolverine yearns for Sabretooth” and ran approximately 9,000 miles with it. Insomniac community and marketing director James Stevenson subsequently clarified that Logan and Sabretooth are not romantically involved, describing their relationship as essentially brothers or best friends with an intensely dysfunctional history. The game itself does not identify Logan as gay or bisexual or give him a male romance. Ted Lasso (Apple TV) Series/Season/Episode: Ted Lasso, Season 4, Episode 7 Episode: “Yes & Baby” Directed By: Erica Dunton Written By: Bill Wrubel and Jane Becker Streaming: Apple TV Release Date: September 16, 2026 Runtime: 41 minutes Starring: Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift, Tanya Reynolds and the AFC Richmond women's team ensemble. Episode Synopsis Alice returns to the team trying to change her approach to life, which eventually collides with Ted's favorite improvisational philosophy: “Yes, and…” Ted encourages both Alice and the Lady Greyhounds to step outside their comfort zones while the episode digs further into the everyday lives of Richmond's players. That means less giant football melodrama and more childcare problems, money problems, transportation problems, relationships, and the realities of trying to build a career in women's football. Zelda also gets involved when Richmond encounters another problem off the pitch. Meanwhile, Ted takes an awkward swing at getting back into the dating world, while the episode continues moving pieces around Roy, Keeley and their respective relationships. Rating out of 5, Who Doesn’t Believe in BELIEVE? Brian: 2.1/5 Darryl: 2.41/5 Reacher (Amazon Prime) Series/Season/Episode: Reacher, Season 4, Episode 8 Episode: “Cut” Directed By: Sam Hill Written By: Scott Sullivan Streaming: Prime Video Release Date: September 16, 2026 Runtime: 58 minutes Based On: Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child Starring: Alan Ritchson, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Anggun, Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette and Kevin Corrigan. Prime Video Episode Synopsis Season 4 goes out exactly how a Reacher season should: everybody finally understands the conspiracy, talking stops being particularly useful, and Reacher starts solving problems with violence. The missing drive ultimately points to information capable of recreating a devastating chemical weapon. With the truth finally exposed, Reacher, Tamara and Jacob go on offense. Reacher hunts down the people responsible for Anna's death while Jacob confronts the truth surrounding his family and Plum gets an opportunity for redemption. The final confrontation puts Reacher against Lila and Amisha in an abandoned restaurant, complete with karambit knives, a severely wounded Reacher and exactly the kind of ludicrously brutal fight this series has trained us to expect. Reacher ultimately turns the enemy's own weapon against them and somehow survives yet another situation that should require substantially more than an overnight hospital stay.

Brian: 5/10 Darryl: 5.5/10 Lanterns (HBO Max) Series/Season/Episode: Lanterns, Season 1, Episode 5 Episode: “Lights Out” Directed By: Geeta Vasant Patel Written By: Justin Britt-Gibson Streaming: HBO / HBO Max Release Date: September 13, 2026 Runtime: 53 minutes Starring: Aaron Pierre, Kyle Chandler, Nathan Fillion, Kelly Macdonald, Laura Linney, Garret Dillahunt, Jason Ritter and Poorna Jagannathan. Apple TV Episode Synopsis Well, that escalated. “Lights Out” cashes in nearly everything the first four episodes have been building. Rushville mobilizes as the truth about the Macons and the Manhunter comes apart, Hal makes his final push to eliminate the threat, and John is forced to make the decision he’s supposedly spent his entire life preparing for. Zoe is confirmed as the Manhunter. Rushville gets devastated. Will Macon and Antaan die. John ultimately kills Zoe and takes Hal's Green Lantern ring, seemingly completing his destiny. And then he rejects it. John tells Lianna that after finally putting on the ring, he feels empty. Watching what Hal became while desperately holding onto its power has fundamentally changed how John sees both the ring and the Guardians. He gives up the thing he spent most of his life believing he wanted. Which brings us directly to this week's title. Apparently one of the most powerful weapons in the universe can be handed over, stolen, surrendered, and reassigned with roughly the security protocols of a Cracker Jack prize.

A new Avatar inherits a broken world This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl head into a shattered new era of the Avatar universe with the latest Avatar: Seven Havens trailer. Then, they hit the field for all six episodes of Chad Powers Season 2 before checking in on the increasingly complicated lives of everyone in Ted Lasso. Finally, Reacher uncovers the deadly truth behind the season's conspiracy, while Lanterns reveals its Manhunter and gives “asserting dominance” a completely new meaning.

Joined by her mentor Jae, her cat-monkey Geet, and a long-lost twin, Pavi must uncover the truth about her origins and prevent the Seven Havens from collapsing.

Russ attempts to lead the South Georgia Catfish toward the playoffs while Gerry discovers the truth and tries to use it for his own gambling scheme. Ricky faces a major career decision, Coach Hudson receives life-changing news, and Russ learns that his second chance may require him to become a better person instead of simply playing one. The season ends with Gerry attempting to sabotage Chad, Tricia stepping in to protect Russ, Ricky considering a coaching job at Syracuse, and Coach Hudson announcing his retirement due to health concerns.

The photograph and USB drive are finally explained, revealing a formula for a deadly chemical weapon developed through a CIA-backed project in Indonesia. Lila and Amisha plan to demonstrate the weapon before selling it through the dark web.

Macon responds to their investigation with the ultimate display of confidence, stripping naked and ordering former art student John Stewart to draw him. The investigation also exposes Hector Gutierrez as a decoy connected to alien technology. The much larger revelation is that Zoe Macon is the Manhunter the Lanterns have been searching for. Her apparent death, survival, and confession to John suggest that she may be more complicated than the murderous machine everyone expects.

Chegamos à metade da temporada de Lanternas e finalmente algumas cartas começaram a virar. No Reflix 185, Brunão e Baconzitos mergulham no quarto episódio da série da HBO Max, um capítulo que retoma com força a investigação de Rushville, coloca Hal Jordan e John Stewart efetivamente trabalhando juntos e entrega uma das principais respostas que a temporada vinha guardando desde a estreia. Quem é o Caçador Cósmico? A resposta finalmente aparece. Só que descobrir a identidade da criatura talvez seja o menor dos problemas. Sinestro entra na cabeça de Hal Jordan O episódio começa exatamente onde a história havia parado antes do flashback do capítulo anterior: Hal Jordan diante de Sinestro. E Sinestro não precisa de anel amarelo nenhum para usar sua arma favorita. O medo. A conversa entre os dois deixa evidente o quanto o antigo mentor ainda conhece Hal. Sinestro sabe quais perguntas fazer, quais inseguranças explorar e, principalmente, como transformar John Stewart em uma ameaça aos olhos do veterano Lanterna Verde. Se Hal já estava desconfortável com a possibilidade de John ser seu substituto, ele deixa a conversa ainda mais desconfiado. E isso contamina todo o restante do episódio. John também recebe uma proposta perigosa Enquanto Hal escuta Sinestro, John Stewart recebe seu próprio empurrão. A Guardiã Lianna revela que Hal violou um juramento ao procurar seu antigo mentor e orienta John a tomar definitivamente o anel na próxima oportunidade. Ou seja: os dois protagonistas passam o episódio cercados por pessoas tentando convencê-los de que não podem confiar um no outro. É justamente esse jogo de manipulação que Brunão e Baconzitos destrincham no Reflix 185. Porque, enquanto Hal e John tentam encontrar o inimigo escondido em Rushville, existe uma batalha muito mais íntima acontecendo entre eles. Afinal, quem é o Caçador Cósmico? Depois de semanas de suspeitas, teorias e pistas falsas, Lanternas finalmente entrega a resposta. Tudo aponta primeiro para William Macon. Mas a verdade está muito mais perto de John Stewart do que ele gostaria. Zoe Macon é o Caçador Cósmico. A personagem interpretada por Poorna Jagannathan revela sua verdadeira natureza e muda completamente a leitura de vários momentos dos episódios anteriores. Até mesmo sua aproximação com John passa a ganhar novos significados. E o mais interessante é que a série não transforma a revelação imediatamente em uma simples equação de herói contra vilão. Zoe parece carregar sentimentos, escolhas e conflitos que vão muito além de sua programação original. Rushville inteira está escondendo alguma coisa? A descoberta também levanta uma questão ainda maior. Se Zoe é realmente o Caçador Cósmico que Hal e John procuram, quanto os outros moradores de Rushville sabem sobre isso? William Macon certamente sabe mais do que dizia. A própria história de sua recuperação de uma doença terminal parece estar diretamente ligada à tecnologia extraterrestre. E o comportamento dos moradores começa a sugerir que Zoe talvez não esteja escondida apenas em Rushville. Talvez ela esteja sendo escondida por Rushville. A investigação que começou como um mistério envolvendo um ser extraterrestre passa, então, a se transformar em algo muito maior. Hal e John chegam ao ponto de ruptura Só que a principal explosão do episódio não envolve o Caçador Cósmico. Envolve os dois Lanternas. Hal percebe que John sabia — ou pelo menos suspeitava — que Zoe continuava viva e poderia estar diretamente ligada ao caso. John escondeu a informação. E, depois de ter sua insegurança cuidadosamente alimentada por Sinestro, Hal interpreta a mentira como confirmação de que não pode confiar em seu possível sucessor. O resultado é um dos momentos mais tensos da temporada até agora. Aquilo que começou como uma relação desconfortável entre mentor e aprendiz se transforma de vez em confronto. E Lanternas chega à metade da temporada com seus dois protagonistas talvez mais distantes do que nunca. O melhor episódio até agora? No Reflix 185, Brunão e Baconzitos discutem se o quarto capítulo finalmente entrega aquilo que a série vinha prometendo desde sua estreia. Tem investigação. Tem ficção científica. Tem construções feitas com os anéis. Tem Sinestro manipulando Hal. Tem Guardiões manipulando John. Tem revelação. E tem uma vaca atravessando um portal em uma das sequências mais absurdamente Lanterna Verde da temporada. Mas, por trás de tudo isso, continua existindo a questão que parece realmente mover a série: Hal Jordan e John Stewart conseguem confiar um no outro? Porque talvez o maior perigo para os dois não seja o Caçador Cósmico. Talvez sejam as pessoas dizendo aos dois exatamente aquilo que eles mais têm medo de ouvir.

Good Enough to Keep Watching, Not Good Enough to Stop Complaining This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl take a somber look back at three icons we lost this week with Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen, and the massive mark each left on pop culture. Then it's back to the weekly watchlist as Ted Lasso tries to bring the Greyhounds together, Reacher digs deeper into an increasingly dangerous conspiracy, and Lanterns pushes Hal Jordan and John Stewart further into a mystery that is getting a whole lot more cosmic. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Celebrity Deaths This Week: 4:46 Ted Lasso Season 4 Episode 4: 16:20 Reacher Season 4 Episode 5: 24:40 Lanterns Season 1 Episode 2: 3240 Celebrity Deaths Dolly Parton January 19, 1946 – August 25, 2026 | Age 80 Country music icon, songwriter, actress, businesswoman, and philanthropist Dolly Parton died August 25 after what her representatives described as a brief battle with cancer. Her six-decade career produced classics including “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and “I Will Always Love You,” while her film career included 9 to 5 and Steel Magnolias. Parton's legacy extends far beyond music. She helped build Dollywood into one of Tennessee's biggest attractions and founded the Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of free books to children. Dollywood announced that the park would remain open following her death, honoring her belief that “the show must go on.” Infamous angle: One of those genuinely rare celebrities who seemed to transcend genre, politics, generations, and even celebrity culture itself. Tim Curry April 19, 1946 – August 25, 2026 | Age 80 Actor, singer, and voice performer Tim Curry died peacefully at his Los Angeles home following a period of ill health. Curry became a cultural icon as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, but his ridiculously versatile career also included Clue, It, Home Alone 2, Muppet Treasure Island, Legend, The Three Musketeers, and decades of stage and voice work. He received three Tony nominations and continued working after suffering a major stroke in 2012 that left him using a wheelchair. For an entire generation of genre fans, Curry was basically the patron saint of unforgettable villains and weirdos. Peter Cullen July 28, 1941 – August 26, 2026 | Age 85 Legendary Canadian voice actor Peter Cullen died peacefully at his Los Angeles home surrounded by family. No cause of death has been announced. Cullen became inseparable from Optimus Prime, originating the character’s voice in the 1984 Transformers animated series and returning repeatedly across animation, games, and the live-action films. He also voiced Eeyore in Winnie the Pooh and contributed memorable vocal work to Predator, Knight Rider, G.I. Joe, and numerous animated series. The voice and personality he created for Optimus were inspired in large part by his older brother Larry, a decorated Marine veteran, whose advice to Peter was essentially that a real hero should be strong enough to be gentle. That philosophy became fundamental to Optimus Prime. Infamous angle: For anybody who grew up in the ’80s, this one hits differently. Optimus Prime wasn’t merely a cartoon voice. Ted Lasson (Apple TV) Network: Apple TV Genre: Comedy / Sports / Drama Developed By: Jason Sudeikis, Bill Lawrence, Brendan Hunt, Joe Kelly Starring: Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, Juno Temple, Brett Goldstein, Brendan Hunt, Jeremy Swift Season: 4 Episode: 4 Episode Title: “Greyhounds’ Day Off” Release Date: August 26, 2026 Episode Summary Ted, Beard, and Coach Alice try to break up the cliques developing within the new team by canceling practice and sending everyone out for some forced bonding, eventually leading the group to pub trivia and considerably more trouble than Ted probably planned. Meanwhile, Rebecca and Keeley attend a women’s football business summit where they encounter eccentric sports investor Zelda Southport, played by Tracey Ullman. Zelda’s aggressive approach to investing in women’s sports gets Keeley’s attention while Rebecca remains considerably more skeptical. Roy and Keeley’s increasingly complicated relationship also continues, with Keeley challenging Roy to actually date other women before the two seriously consider getting back together. Rating Out of 5, Boots Ain’t Messing Around Brian: 3.3/5 Darryl: 3.1/5 Reacher (Amazon Prime) Network: Prime Video Genre: Action / Crime / Thriller Based On: Gone Tomorrow by Lee Child Developed By: Nick Santora Starring: Alan Ritchson, Sydelle Noel, Agnez Mo, Christopher Rodriguez-Marquette, Kevin Corrigan Season: 4 Episode: 5 Episode Title: “Bridge” Release Date: August 26, 2026 Rating: TV-MA Series Summary A seemingly random encounter aboard a Philadelphia subway pulls Jack Reacher into a conspiracy involving a missing flash drive, government operatives, hired killers, and information powerful people are desperate to keep buried. Season four adapts Lee Child's Gone Tomorrow and drops Reacher into an increasingly tangled political and intelligence conspiracy. Episode Summary After a misunderstanding turns Reacher into Philadelphia's most wanted man, he spends much of the episode doing what Reacher does best: escaping situations that should probably be impossible to escape. Meanwhile, Jacob, Tamara, and Plum recover the flash drive Anna mailed before her death, along with her phone, but their attempt to finally get some answers turns into a violent confrontation with Lila and Amisha. Jacob gets his first genuine opportunity to strike back at the people responsible for his sister's death. The recovered evidence also starts bringing the larger conspiracy into focus. A photograph connects Congressman Sampson to a disgraced Indonesian general, but Reacher suspects another person in the image may actually be more important to the mystery. Anna's phone also gives the group stronger evidence tying Lila directly to the killings. By the end, Reacher and Tamara's investigation leads them toward another confrontation while Jacob is taken hostage, leaving Tamara with a pretty awful decision to make. And this one definitely supports the subtitle vibe we were talking about: there's plenty of entertaining Reacher insanity here, but the season is getting increasingly dependent on everyone accepting some wildly convenient and increasingly ridiculous shit to keep the plot moving. Rating Out of 5, How Many Ways Can One Person Escape the Police? Brian: 3.2/5 Darryl: 3.25/5 Lanterns (HBO Max) Lanterns Network: HBO / HBO Max Genre: Drama / Sci-Fi / Action / Mystery Created By: Chris Mundy, Damon Lindelof, Tom King Starring: Kyle Chandler, Aaron Pierre, Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, Laura Linney, Jason Ritter Season: 1 Episode: 2 Episode Title: “Trust Fall” Release Date: August 23, 2026 Rating: TV-14 Series Summary Veteran Green Lantern Hal Jordan is assigned to train former Marine and newly recruited Lantern John Stewart. Their relationship begins badly enough before the two are dragged into an investigation surrounding a bizarre killing in rural Nebraska. What initially resembles an Earthbound murder mystery steadily exposes a much larger extraterrestrial conspiracy connected to the history of the Green Lantern Corps. Episode Summary Hal and John investigate a deadly shooting in an attempt to prove that an alien force was responsible, with their investigation increasingly pointing toward one of the Green Lantern Corps’ oldest mistakes: the Manhunters. The episode digs deeper into the mystery surrounding Rushville while separating Hal and John enough to develop both characters individually. Sheriff Kerry also reveals that she originally came from Gotham, quietly expanding the show’s connections to the larger DCU.And then the episode drops the considerably bigger comic-book bomb: Sinestro, played by Ulrich Thomsen. The imprisoned former Lantern is positioned almost like the show’s Hannibal Lecter, someone Hal doesn’t trust but may need because Sinestro understands both Hal and the threat they are facing better than almost anyone.

Once upon a time, there was an inventor and entrepreneur named Madam C.J. Walker. She was the child of slaves, the first in her family to be born free, thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation. As a child, she had to work in the cotton fields to help support her family. Later, as a teenaged orphan, she became a washerwoman, backbreaking work considered one of the worst and most difficult jobs a woman could have. But she dreamed of more -- for herself and her daughter. When, due to an illness, her hair began to fall out, she created a hair care regimen specifically for African-American women. It worked! She crisscrossed the country going door to door to sell her products and eventually built a beauty empire with sales representatives in every state. The formula grew to be so popular she became the first self-made female millionaire in America, and her products are still for sale today. About the Narrator Poorna Jagannathan is an actress and the producer of "Nirbhaya" ('Fearless'), the critically-acclaimed play written and directed by Yael Farber. Based on real-life events, the play breaks the silence around sexual violence and was called by The Telegraph as one of the "most powerful pieces of theater you'll ever see.” Jagannathan gained international recognition for her portrayal of a journalist in the 2011 Bollywood film "Delhi Belly" and has appeared as series regular on HBO's "The Night Of" and Netflix's "Gypsy." In 2018 she was a member of the ensemble cast of HBO's "Room 104," created by the Duplass brothers. Most recently, Jagannathan plays Nalini Vishwakumar in Mindy Kaling's comedy series "Never Have I Ever."

Nicole Ari Parker is stepping into the DC Universe. The actress, best known for her role in HBO's And Just Like That, has been cast in a recurring role in Lanterns, the upcoming HBO drama centered on the Green Lantern Corps. Parker will portray Bernadette, the mother of John Stewart (Aaron Pierre), one of the two central Green Lanterns in the series.HBO describes Bernadette as “formidable and tenacious,” a woman who has spent her life ensuring her family is not left behind. She is fiercely protective of her son, a trait that will likely shape John Stewart's journey in the show.The series follows John Stewart and Hal Jordan (played by Kyle Chandler), two members of the Green Lantern Corps, an elite intergalactic force tasked with maintaining order across the cosmos. Their power stems from special rings that grant superhuman abilities, making them one of the most formidable forces in the DC Universe.Lanterns is significant for DC Studios as it marks the first live-action series developed under the leadership of co-chairmen and co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran. The show received a straight-to-series order in June, securing an eight-episode season with True Detective: Night Country and Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy at the helm.In addition to Parker and the lead duo, the cast includes Kelly Macdonald, Garret Dillahunt, Poorna Jagannathan, and Ulrich Thomsen, who will portray the iconic Green Lantern antagonist Sinestro.This isn't the first time Green Lanterns have appeared in live-action. Hal Jordan was famously played by Ryan Reynolds in the 2011 Green Lantern film, though that adaptation was widely criticized. Meanwhile, John Stewart has long been a fan-favorite in the comics and animated series but has yet to receive a proper live-action portrayal.

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universes. New details surrounding Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps have emerged with the release of this official synopsis: Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Marvel's First Family — Reed Richards/Mister Fantastic , Sue Storm/Invisible Woman , Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ben Grimm/The Thing as they face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). And if Galactus' plan to devour the entire planet and everyone on it weren't bad enough, it suddenly gets very personal. While this synopsis may be sparse on specificity, it does officially confirm Julia Garner's role to be that of a Silver Surfer, which was strongly suspected until now. In the wake of some big announcements and updates regarding the franchise's future on the big screen, Star Wars has removed at least one of its upcoming film projects from the calendar. Last week, Disney pulled the untitled Star Wars flick occupying a December 18, 2026 release and replaced it with the recently announced Ice Age 6. Elsewhere on the small screen, fans can look forward to more information on Andor Season 2 soon, with the series on display in the coveted cover feature of Empire Magazine's November issue, available November 21. Our pal Jimmy Gunn is back to his antics providing some seeming clarity on Peacemaker's canon status within his DCU. While speaking with IGN, the filmmaker explained that nothing is canon ‘unless you see it in Creature Commandos,' or is released after that series, which debuts on Max December 5. Gunn went on to clarify that the new canon would include prior events and characters that are referenced in Creature Commandos, which would include all of Peacemaker's first season, barring one scene. “The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League… which we will kind of deal with in the next season of Peacemaker,” The Assembled behind the scenes web documentary for Agatha All Along was suspiciously released via Youtube rather than Disney Plus… While speaking at Vulture Festival, Elizabeth Olsen shared that returning to Marvel feels like a choice driven by character-focused storytelling, not an obligation, and acknowledged superhero films' role in making indie projects possible. Lady Gaga has been cast in season 2 of Wednesday on Netflix. At this time, it is not known what the extent of her role will be. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that Conan O'Brien will host the upcoming 97th Oscar's ceremony.

Jason Reitman is serving as a producer and a director has not yet been announced. A rebooted Friday Night Lights series is in the works at Universal TV. The reboot is believed to be a new story with new characters not attached to the original. HBO's Lanterns has added Never Have I Ever star Poorna Jagannathan to the cast. Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans' Christmas movie Red One came in at the lower end of expectations with a $32.1 million domestic outing.

Poorna Jagannathan brought us the story of Indian Olympic boxer and politician, Mary Kom. Poorna is an actress and the producer of "Nirbhaya" ('Fearless'), the critically-acclaimed play written and directed by Yael Farber. Based on real-life events, the play breaks the silence around sexual violence and was called by The Telegraph as one of the "most powerful pieces of theater you'll ever see.” Poorna gained international recognition for her portrayal of a journalist in the 2011 Bollywood film "Delhi Belly" and has appeared as series regular on HBO's "The Night Of" and Netflix's "Gypsy." In 2018 she was a member of the ensemble cast of HBO's "Room 104," created by the Duplass brothers. Most recently, Poorna plays Nalini Vishwakumar in Mindy Kaling's comedy series "Never Have I Ever." [This episode originally aired in April 2019.] This episode of Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls is produced by Elena Favilli, Joy Fowlkes, and Meg Murnane, with writing by Grace Boyle and narration by Poorna Jagannathan. Jestine Ware edited all scripts. Sound design and original theme music by Elettra Bargiacchi. Mattia Marcelli was the sound mixer.

Beloved baseball movie in which there is no crying A League Of Their Own is the latest film to get a series reboot -- with a bunch of twists -- on Amazon Prime. We talked to Yahoo! Sports's Liz Roscher about the casting, the bifurcated stories, whether the baseball holds up, what happened to the Rockford Peaches' manager (and to Candy Bar Guy #1), and all that 2022 dialogue rattling around 1943. Is it a homer, or a whiff? We also went Around The Dial with Never Have I Ever, Drag Race's international entries, the Better Call Saul series finale, and a This Fool follow-up before Liz tasked herself with getting a Series 7 ep of Taskmaster into the Canon. The state of New Jersey was a winner, the surveillance state was a loser, and we rolled ourselves a nice fat Game Time about S04.E20s. Should you put that mustard on a hot dog, or your face?

This week, we return to our studio with actor Poorna Jagannathan! She reflects on the making of Never Have I Ever (5:16), a realization at thirty that changed the trajectory of her career (6:54), and how she initially processed the absence of complex roles for South Asian actors (11:37).

She recounts her experience performing the play and its immediate political impact in India (31:21).

Never Have I Ever is an American coming-of-age comedy-drama television series starring Maitreyi Ramakrishnan and created by Mindy Kaling and Lang FisherAfter a traumatic year, a first-generation Indian-American teenager wants to improve her status at school, but friends, family, and feelings don't make it easy on her.  John McEnroe, Adam samberg and Gigi Hadid make guest appearances on the show as narrators. and Chicago legendary rapper common makes an appearance in the show. Even gets the honour to kiss Poorna Jagannathan who plays the lead protagonist mother.. p.s she looks so much like Celine Dion. This is basically High School teenage life drama.... it's all about young girls finding their identity in society going through hurdles and obstacles in the attempt to become their trueselves so basically in my personal opinion the show  is about self understanding and self-belief and self growth "never have I ever" is a brilliant take on interracial and LGBTQ relationships either sexual or not sexual. it brings forth a new dynamic on multicultural societies and henceforth this is by far one of my favourite Netflix shows I look forward to another season.Feel free to check out my other podcast》》  The English game★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We're back and here to talk about many things, but mainly how unreasonably hot Paxton Hall-Yoshida is! That's right, it's the Golden Month of Television and we're kicking things off with season two of Never Have I Ever, a Hatewatch Our Joy mainstay that generates an equal ratio of tears to google searches about male characters' heights. Please enjoy our raw, unedited, earnest feelings about this show and what we owe to Mindy Kaling and also what we absolutely do not owe to our two-star reviewer (no, we're not over it). If you missed us, be sure to check out the Everwood Pinecast (http://everwoodpinecast.com/), where we've been busy recapping season one of the hit WB series Everwood (which Never Have I Ever may have stolen IP from, who's to say???).

Some actors leave a mark on you because they are so good, so different and so versatile. Poorna Jagannathan was first seen in Delhi Belly, and we could never forget her. And to our surprise, when she came on the screen in Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, even for a few minutes, we were so happy to see her and remembered her! And now she is winning hearts with her role as the Desi NRI mum with a difficult teenage daughter in Netflix's series 'Never Have I Ever', the second season of which drops on 15th July 2021. On this round, Gauri Devidayal is joined by Actor-Producer Poorna Jagannathan to talk about her experiences in Hollywood and Bollywood, leaving behind a career in Market research, landing the role in Delhi Belly and life post that, getting inspired by Suhasini ManiRatnam, working with Mindy Kaling in Never Have I Ever and much more.

Hey, it’s Pallavi. We’re doing things a little different this week at WAFF. What you’re going to hear in this week’s episode is my personal story and experience with sexual assault. So as much as we appreciate and adore you our listeners for your continued support, please proceed with caution as the details we discuss may be triggering. I used a lot of tools to get me to this point of talking about it openly. Therapy, counseling, meditation, massage, acupuncture, exercise, you name it. But the most powerful tool….the thing that got me to this moment was talking about it with my friends and my husband. My chosen family. Which then gave me the courage to talk to my given family. And that gave me the courage to record this episode with my dear friends Gabrielle Ruiz and Poorna Jagannathan, who is our guestfriend this week. The biggest lesson I’ve learned in the 20 years that I’ve kept this secret, is that this is not my burden to bear. And what happened to me is not my fault. But I wasn’t going to get through it without asking for and seeking help, both professionally and communally. So if my story resonates with you, please know that you are not alone. It’s ok to need help. It’s more than ok and vital to seek the help of a mental health professional. And asking your friends and family for support and safety, is imperative.

We also touch on her empowering work as an outspoken advocate against gender discrimination and sexual violence. Basically we're obsessed with her, and by the end of this episode, you probably will be, too. Enjoy!

Once upon a time, there was an inventor and entrepreneur named Madam C.J. Walker. She was the child of slaves, the first in her family to be born free, thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation. As a child, she had to work in the cotton fields to help support her family. Later, as a teenaged orphan, she became a washerwoman, backbreaking work considered one of the worst and most difficult jobs a woman could have. But she dreamed of more -- for herself and her daughter. When, due to an illness, her hair began to fall out, she created a hair care regimen specifically for African-American women. It worked! She crisscrossed the country going door to door to sell her products and eventually built a beauty empire with sales representatives in every state.
