Image Source: Amazon It’s amazing to think thatPixar’s beloved filmFinding Nemois now two decades old. This award-winning animated gem has truly become a classic, in the history of Walt Disney and Pixar. The stellar voice cast of the film includedAlbert Brooks,Brad Garrett,Elizabeth Perkins,Stephen Root,Allison JanneyandGeoffrey Rush.One standout performance wasWillem Dafoe’s portrayal of the antagonist character. Voice acting is a very difficult procedure, especially for animated movies likeFinding Nemo.It can take years to finish, as many people may already be aware. When the finished product is seen by the public, all of the hard work pays off. For Dafoe being part ofFinding Nemowas a great experience.

DirectorBrian Levantreveals in a new interview thatJohn Goodmandid not want to reprise his role ofFred Flintstonein a sequel to the 1994 film,The Flintstones.

In an interview withTotal Film,Levant said Goodman went so far as to go to film producerSteven Spielberg,begging for a way out. Goodman starred as Fred alongsideRick Moranis,Elizabeth Perkins,Rosie O’Donnell,Kyle MacLachlan,andHalle Berryin the live action film of the modern Stone Age family.

After having a rough experience throughout filming, Goodman spoke withSpielberg,asking to escape the production of a sequel that was being discussed.

Levant said the plan was to do the same thing withThe Flintstonesthat they did withBack to the Futureand shoot back-to-back. But Goodman made an appointment with Spielberg and said, “Please don’t make me do any more of these.”

30 years after its release, directorBrian Levant's "The Flintstones"remains an incredible-looking movie. The 1994 live-action take on Hanna-Barbera's famous prehistoric cartoon sitcom is littered with astonishingly detailed practical sets bringing the primitive suburbia known as Bedrock to colorful life. Equally remarkable are the practical animatronics used to realize the various critters that function as household items in the"Flintstones"universe, including a" garbage disposal "in the form of a Stone Age pig-like creature known as the Pigosaurus and the sassy" recording device "known as the Dictabird.

For many film buffs, the classic Christmas filmMiracle on 34th Streetis their go-to holiday film. Subsequently, the movie depicts the best and worst of humanity and is essential viewing during the Christmas season. Altogether, the original film has spawned four remakes. However, they’ve all stayed true to the original script.

‘Miracle on 34th Street’ (1947)

The film’s original plot followsDoris Walker(Maureen O’Hara), a worker at Macy’s Department Store in New York City. However,Kris Kringle(Edmund Gwenn) realizes the man who will playSanta Clausis drunk. Later, he tellsDoris,and she hires Kris to be the Macy’s store Santa Claus.

Her divorce disillusions Doris and her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood). However, their neighbor, lawyer Fred Gaily (John Payne), is surprised Susan doesn’t believe in Santa Claus.

When Susan meets Kris, she believes he’s Santa Claus. Fred believes Kris and clashes with Doris.

1994’sMiracle on 34th Streetis filled with magical moments. But some were more enjoyable to film than others for actorMara Wilson.The former child star, who played young Susan Walker, counted scenes with certain cast members as her favorite. Spoiler: Not SirRichard Attenborough’s Kriss Kringle. Plus, some behind-the-scenes details about the film.

Wilson loved filming any ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ scenes withElizabeth PerkinsandDylan McDermott

Wilson, who no longer acts, counted her favorite scenes to film in the ‘90s remake of the classic Christmas movie as the ones with two of her cast members. Not Attenborough, or even the reindeer in the courtroom, made the cut. Rather, her movie mom and dad.

“On set, anything that I got to do with Dylan McDermott and Elizabeth Perkins [was my favorite]; they were just lovely,” she toldEntertainment Weekly.“In particular, the dinner table scene during Thanksgiving was really fun.

While there’s still no official word regardingMinx‘s renewal, it’s looking more and more like Bottom Dollar is going out of business for good.

Series starJake Johnsonrecently told our sister site Deadline that he doesn’t expect the comedy to come back for Season 3. He called the show’s 2022 renewal-then-cancellation at Max, and the subsequent move toStarz,“brutal,” adding that Season 2’s unfortunate timeline didn’t help things, either.

A third season ofStarz’s period erotic comedyMinxisn’t likely in the cards, according to co-ep and starJake Johnson.

In a recent Zoom chat with Deadline, the actor shared that he hasn’t heard anything about a final decision. “But by evidence of me cutting my hair short,” he said, “I don’t [expect a renewal].”

“I think the move to Starz, I think HBO kind of doing their HBO thing, or HBO Max, whatever it’s called now, I think that was brutal for [the show],” Johnson reflected. “Then, I think the strike coming out right as we were trying to promote it…My guess is you can’t beat something up that many times and keep going.”

Johnson called the hampering of the show’s success, simply as a result of the turbulent Hollywood moment in which it debuted, “unfortunate,” given his feeling that “there was a lot to that show.

“An armed robbery is a traumatic event people need time to recover from,” Oliver said before delivering the punchline, “It’s not something you can just ignore like a spam call or a broken light bulb or any show on Apple TV.”

Oliver then asked his viewers, “Did you knowOctavia Spencerstarred as a true crime podcaster on a show calledTruth Be Toldfor three seasons?”

Exclusive:María Gabriela de Faría,the Venezuelan actress best known for roles in Fox comediesAnimal ControlandThe Moodys,has landed a breakout part on the film side, joining the cast ofJames Gunn’sSuperman: Legacy.

Her character is Angela Spica akaThe Engineer.Part of theWarner/DC flick’s villain team, Angie’s powers stem from nanotechnology built into her body. Created byWarren EllisandBryan Hitch,she’s the second DC character to bear the name of The Engineer and was first introduced inThe Authorityvol.1 #1 in 1999.

The first title in a revamped DC slate, markingGunn’s first directorial effort as co-head ofDC Studios,Superman: Legacywill follow Superman as he looks to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing. He is the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way, guided by human kindness in a world that sees kindness as old-fashioned.

Despite what the "manosphere" tries to say, society is far more aware of the influence of age and power dynamics in relationships than it used to be. Sometimes to a disastrous point, as young fans who are less trained than ever to deal with media critically may overreact and miss the point of a piece of fiction. And then there are the people who believe that the existence of LGBTQ+ people is a danger to children. That is, of course, nonsense of a cruel and bigoted kind.

What's true, though, is that an older person can hold all kinds of sway over someone younger, from financial threats to abuse of power in a work or life situation. In fiction, an age gap romance or a relationship with imbalanced power dynamics can be used to explore important themes. Not all stories have aged well, though, and sometimes the behind-the-scenes tales are even worse.

The mystery is solved. The Afterparty won't be getting a third season, at least not on Apple TV+. The streamer has cancelled the murder-mystery comedy series after two seasons.Chris Millercreated the show.

StarringTiffany Haddish,Sam Richardson,andZoë Chao,the Apple TV+ anthology series features Detective Danner (Haddish) investigating a different murder each season with a new cast of suspects. The first season takes place at her high school reunion while season two finds Danner and her team investigating the murder of a groom at his wedding.

Guests in the two seasons have includedIke Barinholtz,Ben Schwartz,Ilana Glazer,Jamie Demetriou,Dave Franco,John Cho,Paul Walter Hauser,Ken Jeong,Anna Konkle,Poppy Liu,Elizabeth Perkins,Jack Whitehall,Zach Woods,andVivian Wu.

Apple TV+ has canceledThe Afterpartyafter two seasons, Deadline reports.

The decision comes weeks after the conclusion ofThe AfterpartySeason 2.

Thankfully, each season of the series is designed to be self-contained, meaning fans were not left hanging over a cliff about what would have happened next.

Resolution is necessary for a show ofThe Afterparty's caliber, which begins its seasons with a murder before havingTiffany Haddish's Detective Danner investigating the pool of suspects.

The investigation is infused with humor, red herrings, and everything you'd expect from a series that doesn't want to tell you the killer's identity until the season finale.

It's unclear how well the show performed on Apple TV+ because the streaming service keeps those viewership statistics under lock and key.

Bottom Dollar is no more. The scrappy porn publisher at the center ofStarz’s Minx has been replaced with a shiny new conglomerate — Papadopoulos-Renetti Global — that puts Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson) back on top, and at odds with his former co-workers. It’s a not-so-surprising turn of events, as their publisher and one-time savior Constance Papadopoulos (Elizabeth Perkins) spent much of Season 2 shaking up the company structure and, by extension, the group dynamic. The billionaire widow may have seemed impressed by Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) and Doug’s efforts, even taking the time to bestow praise and promotions on art director Richie (Oscar Montoya) and managing editor Tina (Idara Victor), but she was covertly planning a seismic overhaul of Bottom Dollar Publications.

InMinx‘s season two finale, the Bottom Dollar gang reunites to hit back at Constance Papadopoulos’ takeover, which has not only reshaped the magazine (titled “Minx”) but slowly revealed itself as more hostile than (almost) anyone realized.

While much of the group catches on in the finale, Doug (Jake Johnson) was the first to seeConstance’s (Elizabeth Perkins) moves for what they were, bringing the evidence to Tina (Idara Victor) in the season’s penultimate episode while she was on a cabin-in-the-woods retreat with Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) finding new women to join the Minx staff.

But the magazine’s international operations — promised to Doug by Joyce — were handed to Tina by Constance. Earlier in the season, Tina also turned down Doug’s marriage proposal after they both attended her family dinner, where Doug discovered she never told her family they were dating. As a result,...

The Afterpartydelivered its second-season finale on Wednesday, tying up the monthslong mystery of who killed aloof tech bro Edgar (Zach Woods). With suspicion falling on, alternately, at Edgar's bride, Grace (Poppy Liu), mother Isabel (Elizabeth Perkins), sister Hannah (Anna Konkle), and business partner Sebastian (Jack Whitehall), not to mention Grace's entire family, there was plenty to be sorted out.

If you paid attention to Season 1 of “The Afterparty,”the answer was obvious.

The high school reunion murder of Xavier (Dave Franco) at the hands of a classmate introduced viewers toChristopher Miller’s multigenre Apple TV+ series, in which each suspect recounts the night’s events as they experienced it. The murderer turned out to be the one with the most outlandish, exaggerated, and discrepant story of the bunch: Yasper (Ben Schwartz), who viewed the night as a wish-fulfilling musical.

Yasper was motivated by jealousy and revenge, the same emotions shared by Xavier’s other classmates but in comparatively low doses and without the means and opportunity. In Season 2 there’s a helluva lot of truly murderous motive; the unfaithful wife, the financially doomed father-in-law, the jealous sister, the gaslit mother, the disgraced business partner. After nine episodes, there was no obvious liar...

Oh, Isabel, how will you get out of this one?

The AfterpartySeason 2 continues on Wednesdays on Apple TV+, and TV Fanatic scored an exclusive first look at the penultimate episode of the season.

If you've been watching, you know each episode explores a different character's account of the inciting incident.

In keeping with the show's tradition, we also get a story told through the lens of popular film genres to match the storyteller's perspective.

Elizabeth Perkinshas been killing it this season, and her portrayal of Isabel continues to delight with the penultimate episode.

Isabel's take on her year since the shocking death of her husband includes various nods to the past as the series takes the form of a '50s psychological melodrama.

The series is a masterclass in acting because it utilizes different genres to tell a story infused with comedy and drama.

The exclusive clip shows...

“The Afterparty”has placed all sorts of lenses on its murder mystery wedding romp in Season 2: the generic conventions of rom-com and film noir, specific directorial styles likeAlfred Hitchcock’s andWes Anderson’s, and even whole modes of filmmaking as inFeng’s (Ken Jeong) found-footage episode peppered with vertical iPhone videos ready forTikTok.

The sheer number of different visual styles the show needs is a challenge, but so is creating a “normal” look for the present-day interrogation scenes with Danner (Tiffany Haddish),Aniq(Sam Richardson), and Zoë (Zoe Chao). Working out the feeling of that grounding “home base” look was as challenging as crafting the show’s most extreme visual styles, and in both cases required cinematographerRoss Riegeto do a lot of calibrating in order to get it right — and then keep it straight.

“We’d shoot something [in the] present day, and then the...

[The following story includes spoilers forMinxseason two.]

In the second season ofMinx,Idara Victor’s Tina andOscar Montoya’s Richie have not only gotten expanded storylines but also a tighter relationship.

It’s a noticeable screen time pivot for the duo, who frequently found themselves on opposite sides of the Bottom Dollar coin during the show’s first season. That hasn’t quite changed in season two, but as Joyce (Ophelia Lovibond) and Doug (Jake Johnson) seemingly move farther apart with the presence ofMinx‘s new wealthy investor Constance Papadopoulos (Elizabeth Perkins), the business-minded Tina and artistic-minded Richie have come to find solace in one another amid the chaos.

And much in line with the second season’s theme of “getting bigger” and “going harder,” in the first six episodes of theStarzshow’s second run, viewers have been given substantial looks at both Oscar and Tina’s home lives,...

Her reunion withJake Johnson’s publisher Doug Renetti — after his ego let her walk away from the magazine last season — has resulted in a new hierarchy at the publication (titled “Minx”). One where the magazine has returned better than ever, but with the financial backing of Elizabeth Perkins’ Constance Papadopoulos, a billionaire shipping magnate who has sparred with men for control in her own life.

And she has given Joyce majority control, allowing Minx’s co-founder and concept creator to finally envision the magazine how she wants — with fewer compromises.

“I think she’s enjoying the power and being able to pack her opinions with a punch,” Lovibond...
