In June 2022, Jason Herbison was on set shooting what was to be the 8,903rd — and final — episode of “Neighbours,” an experience he admits was “very, very emotional.” The cult Australian soap opera — a show he first starting writing for after leaving high school in 1990 and came to oversee as its top exec producer — was coming to a tearful end.
Two years on, almost to the day, and Herbison is now on a short trip to L.A. to see if “Neighbours” — which recently announced that “Selling Sunset” favorite Chrishell Stause is joining the cast — wins a daytime Emmy on Friday from its first-ever nomination.
While the producer describes the remarkable turn of events as “really unexpected and amazing,” the story of how “Neighbours” was effectively brought back from the dead parodies the sort of wild plotline generally only conceived in a daytime drama writers’ room. Usually, it’s soap characters...

Robotic dogs may be a huge advance for humankind, but they feel like harbingers of the apocalypse, which makes them perfect fodder for the second episode of Evil’s final season.
At the top of the hour, Team Good sets up for a graveyard stakeout. Their quarry? A werewolf that’s allegedly showing up at a graveyard next to a church in the middle of nowhere. Things just get weirder from there. Read on for the highlights of “How to Train a Werewolf.”

Evil Season 4 Episode 2 ratcheted up the tension as many of our favorite characters found themselves distressed.
Some kicked ass, like Sheryl, and some fell into a blubbering heap, like Andy. Either way, there's a lot to digest, as we are only a mere 12 episodes away from the finale.
Although "How to Train a Werewolf" began with a supernatural bent, science won this time out.
Every season has a theme, and the pop-up book at the beginning of the credits (which began 17 minutes into the episode) is The Big Pop-Up Book of Science.
This makes me wonder if they'll tie the whole series together with a scientific explanation for everything before the end. That would be a satisfying series conclusion, if somewhat disappointing.

At the Libertarian Party’s national convention on Saturday, former President Donald Trump was loudly booed and heckled by attendees. When he came on stage, Trump was immediately met with jeers. Some of his supporters attempted to override the crowd’s negative reception by chanting, “We want Trump.”
The boos reached a peak when Trump asked the Libertarian attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me” to “get rid of the worst president in history,” a dig at current President Joe Biden. As attendees became visibly and audibly upset, Trump followed up with another statement.
“Only do that if you want to win; if you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your 3% every four years,” Trump said. After receiving hostile reactions, Trump concluded his speech after 34 minutes.
Despite the crowd’s opposition to Trump, the former president found common ground with voters on several topics.

If Tim Curry's going to do anything, it's chew the scenery with such relish that he'll be picking chunks out of his teeth after. His oeuvre is littered with delectably animated, over the top performances, and justly so for an actor who lives and breathes theatricality. Still, if we're talking about the most Tim Curry performance ever ... it would be Dr. Frank N. Furter in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." But Wadsworth, the wily butler in "Clue," wouldn't be all that far behind.

The national tour of ‘Clue: A New Comedy’ remixes the classic murder mystery with farcical physical comedy and impassioned old-fashioned sensibilities.
“It’s all part of the game.”
There’s a strong relationship between mischievous murder mysteries and the horror genre. Murder mysteries inherently hinge upon death – it’s baked into the name – so it’s not surprising that horror has embraced this secretive subgenre and really emphasized the murder in murder mysteries. Murder mysteries have been popular in pop culture for nearly a century. However, there’s been a recent renaissance on this front with playful films like Knives Out, A Haunting in Venice, Bodies Bodies Bodies, the Scream franchise, and the prominence of the true-crime genre and armchair detectives. That being said, an underrated and evergreen source of murder mystery hijinks that’s entertained audiences for 75 years is Hasbro and Parker Brothers’ Clue.

More than just a dramatist and storyteller, Oscar-winning director Ang Lee (“Brokeback Mountain”) is an innovator in the vein of James Cameron and has always been quick to test new filmmaking technologies. Lee has been eager to experiment with early motion capture technologies, as he did the mo-cap himself for his movie “The Hulk” and the exceptional 3D and CGI used in his acclaimed “Life of Pi.” More recently, the filmmaker embraced things like 3D and high frame rates in his films “Gemini Man” and “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk.” However, in a recent interview with IndieWire, the director said he’s soured on the technologies and won’t return to them anytime soon, specifically 3D.

Emmy Russell has vivid memories of her childhood, riding in the tour bus alongside her grandmother — or Meemaw as Russell calls her — Loretta Lynn. She’d sometimes join her onstage or they’d sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” together.
It took years, though, for Russell — who lives in Nashville and recently auditioned for American Idol — to finally embrace the “gift” Lynn always said she had.
“All the time, she’d be like ‘When are you going to come back and do what you’re made to do?'” she tells Rolling Stone.

Mark: Past Lives, fresh off its big wins at the Independent Spirit Awards, is, I think it’s safe to say, the indie darling of this Oscar season. American Fiction aside, no 2023 indie film seems to endure with as much feeling in cinephile's imagination than Past Lives, more than a year after its premiere at Sundance. But maybe I’m projecting here, because I love, Love, love! Past Lives, the beautiful, heartfelt film debut of real-deal filmmaker Celine Song. What say you?

Emmy Russell, granddaughter of the late country pioneer Loretta Lynn, wowed the American Idol judges during Sunday’s episode and began to make her own mark on the music industry.
Leading up to her performance, Russell revealed she’s a descendant of the bonafide legend and proceeded to give a tour of her Meemaw’s house. “She’s one of the biggest country music singers of all time, but to me, she’s just Grandma,” the 24-year-old musician said. “I think I am a little timid, and I think it is because I want to own my voice… That’s why I want to challenge myself and come out here.”
From there, Russell stepped behind the piano to deliver an emotional performance of her original song “Skinny,” which was written about eating disorders. “Sleeping on scales is just what I’m used to,” she sings on the track. “I haven’t eaten in days.

Existentialism in a bottle is how I see Alice and Jack, and it might just become one of the most misunderstood series of this year. The titular characters go through a rollercoaster of emotions, mostly heartbreaks. The meaning of life. We’re all looking for it in one way or another. It’s not easy for anyone, but in particular, it’s not easy for Alice and Jack in this poignant slow-burn. Nothing much happens in this series except a flickering romance between two people over a period of 16 years. One might say that it’s a story about life and the emotions that Alice and Jack have for each other in an existence without meaning. The narrative unfolds mostly through Jack’s perspective as he explores the workings of life, depicted as a series of coincidental meetings with Alice. Maybe a bit too tragic, but where’s the lie?...

“I have kids and before this, I said: ‘You have to put cheese on the vegetables in order to get them down.’ We have to make the shows that are approachable, but all this complexity and great, rich character work, that’s what people want. We just need to get them in quicker.”
