There are loads of great binge-watch options out there right now, but one of my absolute favorites of 2020 is the TBS series,Miracle Workers. It’s an anthology comedy series starringDaniel Radcliffe,Steve Buscemi,Lolly Adefope,Karan Soni,Jon Bass,andGeraldine Viswanathan. The first season turns heaven into a factory of sorts with Buscemi starring as a version of God who has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. The large majority of his employees tasked with keeping the Earth up and running in the most tedious ways imaginable are totally fed-up with their work....

The 10-episode HBO comedy seriesDivorce, which has already been picked up for a second season, tells the story of Frances (Sarah Jessica Parker) who, after more than a decade of marriage and two children, has suddenly begun to reassess her life and her strained relationship with her husband, Robert (Thomas Haden Church). As he struggles to come to terms with their marriage falling apart, she discovers that making a fresh start is not an easy task, but thankfully she has her two best friends – the high-strung Diane (Molly Shannon), who has a successful husband, a beautiful house and no children, and Dallas (Talia Balsam), who has been both widowed and divorced – to help her navigate through it all....

You may be under the false assumption thatMurdervilleis an improv-game show hybrid in which the celebrity guest star for each episode must help solve a murder. Well, thatiswhat happens, but there’s actually another game going on right under our noses. The real goal ofMurdervilleis to get as many of the show’s cast members as possible to break character. To score points, the guest stars will need to make a scene unmanageable in some way for one of their co-stars — meaning more than just a chuckle or smirk....

One of the best films I saw at this year’s Sundance Film Festival wasPalm Trees and Power Lines. Directed byJamie Dack, and written by Dack andAudrey Findlay,the power film is about a teen girl (played brilliantly by first-time actorLily McInerny) and her relationship with a man twice her age (Jonathan Tucker). Without getting into the specifics of the story, the film takes an unvarnished and realistic look at how a lonely teenager can be drawn into an inappropriate relationship....

Writer-directorAndrew Cohndrew upon his own experiences working in fast food restaurants for his new movieThe Last Shift, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this past week. “I’ve worked every shit job known to man. The highlight of my shitty jobs was teaching driver’s [ed], but I worked at Burger King when I was 15 years old, and I worked at KFC, so some of the dialogue and characters were taken from the journey along the way,” said Cohn....

We’ve been reporting onSnatchedfor a couple years now, but I’m still surprised that it took so long for a studio to make a hard-R comedy featuring a mother and daughter. The hard-R comedy is a fairly reliable and cost-efficient genre, and as we’ve seen from the success of films likeBad MomsandThe Heat, audiences want to see talented women be raunchy and funny. Thankfully,Snatchedlives up to its concept due to its fantastic cast, skillful blend of dumb and dark humor, and the heartwarming chemistry between leadsAmy SchumerandGoldie Hawn....

One such fresh face appearing in the galaxy far, far away is Oscar-winnerBenicio Del Toro, whose mysterious character known only as the"slicer"DJ will cross paths withJohn Boyega’s Finn andKelly Marie Tran’s Rose in the gambling resort city of Canto Bight....

Stephen King’s presence is writ large in the town of Bangor, Maine, even if he’d perhaps prefer it not to be. Born in Portland, Maine, the legendary, wildly prolific horror author has kept a home in or around Bangor for decades now. From the small trailer he shared with his wife Tabby back in the 70s, when the pair could scarcely find two nickels to rub together, to the gorgeous mid-19th century home they share now that their fortunes have considerably changed, Bangor has long served as an inspiration for the author (most famously as the basis forIT’s Derry, Maine) and stepping through the streets of the New England town is like stepping into the pages of one of his novels, strangely familiar even if you’ve never been there before....

It’s now been a decade sinceHouse of Cardsdebuted onNetflixand changed the nature of the entertainment industry forever. Initially, the thought of a service that many considered to be a luxury as a distribution method for a major television show seemed laughable, but the success of the Emmy-nominated series proved to be the indicator of a new trend. The streaming boom launched a new era for film and television, and over the past few years, the ramifications of the COVID-19 crisis have forced the industry to rely on streaming services even more....
