“I’ve been trying to maintain just being truthful on camera.” Comedian Jerrod Carmichael is a comedic force with three previous comedy specials on HBO. But it arguably wasn’t until 2022’s intimate, naked, and very vulnerable comedy special “Rothaniel” (directed by Bo Burnham), where he came out of the closet for the first time, that he truly left an unforgettable mark on the comedy special landscape (the New Yorker called it a “vital” stand-up experience).

Last spring he won his first Peabody Award as the co-creator and executive producer of Netflix‘s “Mo” and this winter he could be found on the big screen alongside Emma Stone in the global box office hit and Oscar-nominated “Poor Things.” As an Egyptian-American, however, he’s been vocal about his frustration with the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and, it appears that may partially be the subject matter of his new HBO comedy special, “Ramy Youssef: More Feelings” which dropped its first trailer today.

And just looking at her face and her body and her gravitas and presence and power, I was like, ‘Oh my God, that is Navarro.”López watched the 2021 movie that night, in which Reis portrays a former champion boxer who searches for her missing sister.

‘God Save Texas’ Review: Richard Linklater Leads 3 Filmmaker’s Powerful Docuseries On A Contentious Part Of The U.S.

With a title like “God Save Texas, “ a new three-part docuseries inspired by an acclaimed piece of nonfiction carrying the same name and authored by Lawrence Wright, one might think this particular program will unquestionably take a harsh look at the Lone Star State, focusing solely on its flaws and a bleak viewpoint as it looks to the future. There’s no doubt that Texas has, time and again, been mired in a barrage of controversial moments throughout the past 178 years of its existence as the 28th United state, but under the direction of Texas natives Richard Linklater (“Boyhood, “ “School of Rock”), Alex Stapleton (“Reggie, “ “Pride”) and Iliana Sosa (“What We Leave Behind”), here three specific Texan sticking points are touched upon extensively, each handled well individually but when joined together paint a fascinating picture of how far Texas has come and how far it has yet to go.

Republican congresswoman hits out at Larry David and ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ for mocking Trump supporters

Larry David, claiming that the latest episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm “lied” by portraying conservatives as “racists and rednecks”.The long-running HBO comedy series recently kicked off its 12th and final season, and the episode that angered Greene saw David (playing an exaggerated version of himself) arrested for offering a voter a sip of water while queuing at a polling booth on a boiling hot day.The gesture apparently violated the state law in Georgia, which prevents people from giving food and drink to voters waiting in line.In another scene, David is forced to go door-to-door in Atlanta, seeking a replacement for a racist lawn statue he accidentally damaged at an Airbnb, which leads to a confrontation with an angry Trump supporter in a MAGA (Make America Great Again) hat.In a lengthy post on X (formerly Twittter), Greene said that Curb Your Enthusiasm “lied” by painting conservatives and Trump supports as “racists and rednecks”.The right-wing politician also accused the episode of “making fun of our good new law that stops the Stacey Abrams vote pandering machine and prevents voter fraud”.“We in Georgia are fed up with disgusting Hollywood and their disgusting values and elite judgement in our state that is trying to turn GA blue!” she wrote.I watched this week’s episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm and it was a glaring reminder of why most Georgian’s resent Republicans in our state for inviting the nasty commies from California, the Hollywood elites, into our state by dishing out Hollywood tax credits.This week’s…— Marjorie Taylor Greene

‘Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero’ Creates Space for Greatness Without Filling It

Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, the artist known as Lil Nas X lays down his ambitions to achieve something “great, super grand, BIG.”He might be referring to his trailblazing career as a Grammy-winning rapper-singer-songwriter, whose unabashedly queer persona and presentation garner admiration and controversy in equal measure.He could mean his first concert tour as a headliner, the Long Live Montero Tour, the American leg of which is chronicled in this film by directors Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel.There’s little doubt he envisions greatness for himself, Montero Hill, the self-described brat from Lithia Springs, Georgia, who uploaded his modest country-rap banger “Old Town Road” to his socials and became a global sensation.The film, a verité-style tour diary in three acts, doesn’t achieve greatness of its own, but offers glimpses at those aforementioned aspects of Montero’s super grand life.Whether rehearsing for opening night at Detroit’s legendary Fox Theatre, getting a surprise pre-show visit from Madonna, or donning his drag persona to meet his uncannily accurate Madame Tussaud’s wax figure, he rides the dizzying whirlwind of music stardom with aplomb, clearly living out a dream.Among the most compelling footage presented here is the video he shot himself in 2018, as a striving but confident 19-year-old, a month after releasing “Old Town Road” to the internet. Looking into the camera, he tallies his current follower count, promising that in a year the count will look different.
