Joe Swanberg Gambles on Jake Johnson’s Poker Hand in Win It All

Director Joe Swanberg never played a game of cards in his life, but he totally relates to the poker player at the heart of his new movie Win It All (opening April 7 on Netflix).

Which Robot was the First to Have Free Will in Westworld?

After a long production schedule and some delays, once Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy Nolan's Westworld’s premiered on HBO, millions of us were more or less immediately hooked.
