Charna Flam SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers from “Interlude III,” the fifth episode of “The Righteous Gemstones” Season 3, now streaming on Max. HBO’s “The Righteous Gemstones” follows a boisterous family of televangelists based in Charleston, S.C., who anticipate their patriarch’s, Dr. Eli Gemstone (John Goodman), imminent departure.

“The Godfather” is regarded as a Hollywood classic, one of the highest grossing films of all time. But the making of this mafia movie got off to a rocky start, as author MATT BIRBECK describes in “The Life We Chose: William ‘Big Billy’ D’Elia and The Last Secrets of America’s Most Powerful Mafia Family” (William Morrow). It required plenty of negotiations and hard bargains — with some real-life characters who knew quite a lot about the mob.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director “The Idol” actor Jane Adams called out “feminists” in a recent Vanity Fair interview for persisting that the controversial HBO series exploited its female actors on set when many of them, from Lily-Rose Depp to Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Adams herself, have stressed otherwise. “What is amazing to me is no one’s listening—I’ve not seen that before in all my days, such a dogged ‘We refuse to change the narrative,’” Adams said. “I especially want to say to all the feminists, ‘Go fuck yourself.’ All these women that I’m working with are talking about their experience and you’re not listening. You’re not listening!”
Dennis Harvey Film Critic In the diverse annals of survivalist cinema, one lesson is clear: Death is surely preferable to an eternity (or even 95 minutes) spent trapped with the inimitable duo of Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin in 1996’s “Bio-Dome.” By contrast, the dystopian-future-style living is pretty easy to take in “Biosphere,” given the more amiable company of stars Sterling K. Brown and Mark Duplass. They play besties stuck for the long haul in a self-sustaining habitat after some murky catastrophe has rendered the world outside lethal. This first directorial feature for producer Mel Eslyn (who co-wrote with Duplass) is a somewhat uneven construct that at times threatens to exhaust its bro-comedy goodwill. But ultimately the performers are winning enough, and the ideas in the ambiguous story intriguing enough, to achieve an end result of successful middleweight charm and substance.

After previously disavowing , the actress revealed that she has a cameo on the second season of the spinoff series, shocking fans and prompting her co-stars to speak out.Cattrall will reprise her beloved character, Samantha Jones, for the first time since the 2010 film, The main question on everyone's mind is how showrunner Michael Patrick King convinced her to return, and if she's still embroiled in drama with her former co-star and lead, Sarah Jessica Parker.While the alleged feud came to light just a few years ago, it has fascinated fans ever since and led to her character being written out of the show — although not killed off — when was picked up in 2021.In light of the unexpected casting news, ET is looking back at the years-long public drama between Cattrall and Parker to examine when things went south, and what both actresses have said about the headline-grabbing drama ever since.When was shooting its final season, Cattrall sat down for a chat on the British talk show,, and vented a bit about the financial elements that led to the show ending after six seasons.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large We’ve all made the “Cop Rock” jokes. The Steven Bochco musical drama, which premiered in fall 1990, was a big swing: marrying original music with procedural storytelling. It was a colossal flop that we still talk about three decades later, and a reminder that musicals are hard. Music has been a part of the TV landscape going back to the 1950s and shows like “Your Hit Parade.” But few series have successfully integrated regular music performances into their storytelling: “The Monkees” and “The Partridge Family” worked in the 1960s and ’70s. “Fame” did it in the early ’80s. And then “Cop Rock” scared people off the concept.
