John Mulaney Hosts One of the Sharpest Saturday Night Live Episodes of the Season

There were a lot of surprises out of Saturday Night Live this weekend, but how brilliant John Mulaney’s performed wasn’t one of them. The razor sharp former SNL writer flawlessly executed his hosting debut. Mulaney has been the driving wit of so many spectacular project, as well as his own stand-up career, so we’re thrilled to see him gaining more widespread exposure.

Mulaney’s monologue was gut-busting and we wanted it to go on for two hours.

Rampage Roars While A Quiet Place Still Soars

Mutant beasts and murderous aliens dominated the box office this weekend. Dwayne Johnson’s new film, Rampage, was officially released in theaters Friday April 13 with an A- CinemaScore, and has already made $34.5 million domestically and $148.6 million globally—that’s a lot of zeroes—and that’s only in three days. This has placed Johnson, his gorilla pal George and the rest of the colossal crew in the top spot this week domestic box offices.

Star-Lord’s Imitation of Thor in this Avengers: Infinity War Spot is Not So Flattering

Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) isn’t really much of a team player. He’s already getting under Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) skin by challenging the genius inventor’s master plan, while a new Avengers: Infinity War spot shows the Missouri native attempting to match wits with the God of Thunder. This probably isn’t going to end well.

Blaster Battle Aboard Space Train Highlights This Solo: A Star Wars Story TV Spot

By the time we meet Han Solo and Chewbacca in Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, they’re old friends with a long history of swashbuckling adventure between them. In this new Solo: A Star Wars Story TV spot, titled “Crew,” we see for the first time the moment Han even learns Chewie’s name (how Han already understands the Wookie language is a question only SNL seems interested in raising).

Mudbound & Come Sunday Composer Tamar-kali’s Singular Path

At less than 2% of all composers, the percentage of female scoring artists working in the film industry is the lowest and most out of balance with the number of men getting hired. There isn’t any official data on how many of those are women of color, but it’s an even smaller fraction. With her critically acclaimed score for Mudbound, and now with her new work for the film Come Sunday,

Kay Cannon on her Hilarious Directorial Debut Blockers

If you’ve ever been a Teen Movie fan, the last several years haven’t really been for you. While the late 90s and early aughts had more than their fair share of teen movies (many now classics), it’s been few and far between for a studio coming-of-age flick. But in the last month, we’ve been blessed with not one, but two studio teen films: Greg Berlanti’s Love, Simon and Kay Cannon’s Blockers—both that have made progressive new changes to the teen film formula.

The Good Wife Costume Designer Dan Lawson Brings his Skill to New Detective Series Instinct

Dan Lawson certainly possesses the gift of garb. The established costume designer is an Emmy nominee for his work on CBS’s The Good Wife, and now brings his winning style to that show’s spinoff The Good Fight. He also is a recipient of the Theater Development Fund’s Irene Sharaff Young Master Award for excellence in costume design — the first to be honored for television.

Because wardrobe is so essential to character and story,

Westworld Reviews Tease a Grittier, Bolder and Bloodier Season

Following the stunt that Westworld creators pulled this past week supposedly revealing “spoilers” for season 2, the real reviews are in from the lucky critics who have actually been able to watch a few episodes of the new season. If you thought season 1 was wild, hold on to your cowboy hats. Reviews are in and we’ll keep this as spoiler free as possible.

According to recent reviews its looks like this season is even bolder and bloodier than the first.

Our It: Chapter Two Fantasy Cast is Actually Becoming a Reality

This is the stuff that dreams are made of – provided you dream about incredibly talented actors portraying the adult version of kids stalked by a killer clown. THR reports that James McAvoy and Bill Hader are in talks to join the adult cast of It: Chapter Two.

McAvoy has reportedly risen to the top of the short list to play Losers Club leader, Bill Denbrough. McAvoy is extremely dynamic having played the tragic Robbie Turner in Atonement and the 23 personalities of Kevin in Split.

Here’s the Diabolical Mastermind the Parr Family Will Be Facing in The Incredibles 2

The Incredibles 2 trailers have revealed the plethora of  Jack-Jack’s powers (that we only got a glimpse of in the first movies) and we have learned that the film’s shining star will be literal supermom, Elastigirl. A new trailer finally introduces us briefly to the film’s rather disturbing villain, more of stay-at-home dad Mr. Incredible and, of course, lots of Frozone.

Elastigirl has become the face of a new project to help improve the image of meta-humans—if there’s anything we’ve learned from superhero films it’s that people tend to have an extreme distrust of their extraordinary abilities—leaving Bob to take care of the kids.

The 2nd Annual Women’s Media Summit Showcases the Powerful Voices Changing the Industry

Frances McDormand may not have been in the room at the 2nd Annual Women’s Media Summit held April 5-8 at Provincetown’s Crown and Anchor. But the Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Oscar-winner was there in spirit. Several of the industry professionals who gathered at the conference referenced McDormand’s shout-out for the “inclusion rider” in her best actress Oscar acceptance speech as a way to contractually require gender equity.

That was a key mission of the event,

Avengers: Infinity War TV Spot Shows New Footage of Thanos & the Black Order

The very first seconds of this new Avengers: Infinity War spot, titled “Legacy,” shows us footage we haven’t seen—Thanos (Josh Brolin) standing amongst the Black Order. With his gauntlet raised in the air and his “children” surrounding him, the sequence is incredibly striking. This is the first time we’ve seen Thanos and the Black Order all in a single shot—which includes Corvus Glaive, Ebony Maw, Black Dwarf, and Proxima Midnight. They look, for all the world,

Ocean’s 8 New Trailer Boasts Star-Studded Cast & Heist of a Lifetime

Avengers: Infinity War might have this year’s awards for most stars in one film wrapped up, but Ocean’s 8 isn’t far behind. The new trailer for this star-studded caper shows off just how bright the wattage of talent here is.

The film stars Sandra Bullock as Debbie Ocean, the sister of George Clooney’s Danny Ocean and possibly the family’s most talented criminal (sorry, Danny). When we meet Debbie,

Blockers Actor Jimmy Bellinger Promises This Isn’t the Prom Night You Remember

Parents have long agonized over the question of when their child is old enough to make mature decisions. The real answer is that it’s different for everybody, but that doesn’t make parenting any easier. There is a lot of worrying and well-intended intervention that happens when kids come of age. And if your parents are Leslie Mann, John Cena, or Ike Barinholtz, there are also a lot of laughs. Jimmy Bellinger stars in the wild new comedy Blockers as high school senior,

The Live-Action Mulan Picks Up Powerhouse Talent

The cast of Disney’s live action Mulan is finally growing. We’ve been waiting on word after the we found out about the casting of Liu Yifei back in November. Good things come to those who wait, and in this case that applies to fans waiting to find out who would be rounding out the cast in the Disney classic. The answer? China’s top talent is beginning to turn out for the film.

How A Quiet Place Sound Designers Made Audiences Afraid of Their Own Noise

There are rules to the monster invasion in A Quiet Place and you must learn them quickly to survive. The movie’s characters have had over a year to observe the creatures, but the audience is gifted only a few precious minutes to learn before the first attack. The predators are blind, but they hear everything. Barefoot steps on a soft sand path is permissible. Screaming is not. Supervising sound editors Ethan Van der Ryn and Erik Aadahl,

Chatting With I Feel Pretty Stars Amy Schumer & Rory Scovel About Chemistry, Confidence & More

In I Feel Pretty, Amy Schumer plays Renee, a young woman who works for a cosmetic company and dreams of being “undeniably beautiful.” In a twist on the long-time movie tradition of a hit on the head that triggers – or cures – amnesia (see: I Love You Again, Overboard, Desperately Seeking Susan, and many more), Renee has an accident on a SoulCycle and somehow sees herself as the beauty she has always longed to be. 

Donald Glover and Alden Ehrenreich on Solo‘s Romance, Humor, and Style

Donald Glover is a busy man. His critically acclaimed smash Atlanta recently returned for its second season (the reviews have been uniformly stellar), and he’s of course playing Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story. We’ve gotten to watch Glover talk a bit about playing the young Lando during his press rounds for his hit show, but this is the first time we’ve gotten to see both Glover and Han Solo himself,  

Is Iron Man Saying Goodbye in This Behind-the-Scenes Avengers: Infinity War Featurette?

Another day, another new bit of footage from Avengers: Infinity War. In this mostly funny, totally charming behind-the-scenes featurette, there’s an emotional note at the end from Iron Man himself that’s worth contemplating.

Before we get there, let’s get to the funny stuff. In the video, you’ll see how your favorite Avengers and assorted superheroes actually get along on the set. Considering they shot both Infinity War and the still untitled Avengers 4 back-to-back,

Avengers: Infinity War has Already Made History

While Black Panther is still not done making history, Avengers: Infinity War is already getting in on the action—two plus weeks before its premiere. This is the kind of sibling rivalry that T’Challa and Shuri might understand. Infinity War has already broken the first-day ticket sales set by Black Panther, and now it has sold more advanced tickets than the past seven Marvel Cinematic Universe movies—combined.
