Timothée Chalamet, most known for his role in Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Call Me by Your Name,’ has had an incomparable rise to stardom. His unbridled passion and emotional intelligence at such a young age make him, unlike any actor that's preceded him. The young actor has found roles in 28 productions in only 25 years of life and counting. Before his 21st birthday, Timothée was nominated for a Golden Globe for his role in 2017’s ‘Lady Bird’ and, a year later, was the third-youngest nominee in history for Best Actor at the Oscars with ‘Call Me by Your Name.’ All of this comes after he played the lead character's son in Christopher Nolan’s ‘Interstellar’ at only 19 years old, a film that would go on to gross $675 million worldwide. Chalamet has put together a very respectable resume, having done so through carefully picked, meaningful assignments.

Let’s go singing on the hillside because singing indoors is so overrated. Julie Andrews has made a career for herself with her mean set of pipes and even meaner acting abilities. We all came to love her when she starred as nun turned nanny turned mother Maria Von Trapp in ‘The Sound of Music’, and even more so when she played a braggart of a woman in ‘Mary Poppins’. You're practically perfect in every way Mary Poppins? Let’s see you play starting lineman in a football game and then we’ll talk. She has done it all.

You may know Mindy Kaling as her super sassy, super quotable, boy crazed character, Kelly Kapoor, in the 2005 (U.S version) hit television series ‘The Office’. In 2012, Mindy Kaling departed from her position as a writer for the series to pursue another project. She went on to write, produce, and star in the ‘The Mindy Project’ within the same year. The show follows the story of a young Ob/Gyn, Mindy Lahiri, who wishes to become a more well-rounded woman, by balancing her professional and personal life.

3 years ago, I was in London, sitting at the reception of my hotel, waiting for the long line to check-in and tediously scrolling through my Facebook feed. A friend of mine had shared Jordan Peterson’s appearance at Joe Rogan’s podcast with just an exclamation mark over the post, possibly inviting his followers to embrace the significance of what he had just posted. Another guy in the line caught a glimpse of what I was watching, nodded approvingly, and said: “Joe Rogan, ay? Real boss podcast, innit?” That’s how I met Rory, the agent of the band I was actually there to book.

Jeff Goldblum has a range like no other actor in Hollywood and has consistently delivered hit after hit over the past five decades. From drama, action, comedy, and even horror, Goldblum has done it all. He’s proved himself as a performer, musician, and even a director, and has brought warmth and zeal to every project he’s been a part of. With over 134 acting credits, 14 soundtrack credits, and even a couple of producer credits on IMDb, Goldblum has certainly stayed busy over the years and has never slipped into a physical or artistic complacency, but always progresses further no matter what he’s doing.

Many fans of the hit MTV show, ‘Teen Wolf’, have known about Dylan O’Brien since he was introduced as the lovable Stiles Stalinski in 2011 — my introduction to him came in Wes Ball’s 2014 young-adult film, ‘The Maze Runner’, as protagonist Thomas. Coming out of the film, I enjoyed the intense action sequences and mysterious plot. But what stood out to me most was O’Brien — in the lead role he shined and before ‘The Maze Runner’, I had never heard of him. Since seeing him sprint away from Grievers through the vine-covered maze, Dylan O’Brien has become one of my favorite actors working and has established for himself a very successful career. There is no doubt O’Brien isn’t already a star — but I think he can be more. I believe O’Brien has the potential to be on the level of some of the biggest up-and-coming superstars in Hollywood such as Tom Holland and Zendaya. Through a discussion of his films, I will pitch to you why the twenty-nine-year-old Mets fan is Hollywood's next superstar, primed for starring roles in Oscar contenders and blockbusters alike.

Jim Carrey grew up in Ontario, Canada, where he discovered his love for impressions and comedy at a young age. After a tough upbringing, in which he dropped out of school and worked at the Titan Wheels Factory as a teenager to help support his struggling family, Carrey decided to try his luck in the Toronto comedy scene. He began in stand-up, clamoring for open mic nights where he could showcase his impressive impression skills, and slowly graduating to more regular gigs as he gained popularity. As his audience grew, so did his career prospects. In a 2007 interview with the Hamilton Spectator, Carrey famously noted that “if [his] career in show business hadn’t panned out, [he] would probably still be working… at the steel mill,’ which as a kid was where he thought all “the great jobs were.”

Ricky Gervais is an incredibly talented artist who’s had a far-reaching global influence on comedy and television. Mr. Gervais is not only a household name, but so many of the shows he created are as well. From ‘The Office’ and ‘Extras’ to ‘After Life’, Gervais has been a multi-decade, iconic success who has only improved with age. His art pushes boundaries in several ways, possibly stemming from his having grown up through the culturally revolutionary 60s and 70s. Born in Reading, Berkshire, England in 1961, Gervais’s parents were not in the entertainment business, but rather, his father was a hod carrier and laborer, putting him in a social and intellectual position to see the world from an everyday person’s point of view.

There are some movies that become breakout roles for actors and push them into Hollywood’s arms. Think Margot Robbie in ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ or Trevante Rhodes in ‘Moonlight’. Starring in a popular movie is one thing, but entering a long-running franchise is another. For star Daisy Ridley, it was the latter when she was cast in the new ‘Star Wars’ trilogy. As a fairly unknown actress, fans were surprised when she was cast as the lead in a typically male-led film franchise.

It’s the tale as old as time - a beloved celebrity says something in bad taste, their horrible actions are revealed to the public, and a wave of fans must deal with the aftermath. Fans pick up their own pieces, heartbroken over the controversy, and move on as best they can. Debates spark - can you remove the art from the artist? The audience then begins a territorial war over the actions of this person, all while the celebrity remains comfortably in their high tower, waiting for the world to move on to the next big thing. In six months, it will be over, right?

A beautiful woman stands in her bedroom, preparing for the day: trying on her clothes, getting ready to face whatever comes her way, probably set to a kitschy song in the background to make a glamorous montage. You’re trying to decide whether she’s the corporate lawyer or quirky barista type when she slings a backpack over her shoulder and, to your horror, calls out a goodbye to her mother, promising to be home by curfew. This can’t possibly be a high schooler, right? I’m supposed to be older than her?

Prior to the modern age of microphones and monologues, silent filmmakers pioneered the art form of Cinema with an emphasis on heightened body language and facial expression. Before the 1920s, it was common to depict an entire cosmos of emotional narrative from facial gestures and movement alone. As presented in the animation ‘The Triplets of Belleville’, little to no dialogue is actually needed to deeply move the audience or to illustrate a powerfully impactful story. While its premise is mostly comedic, within the film lies a tragic darkness--distilled only by the heroic gestures of righteousness, kindness, and love.

Ah EPCOT, the one park in Disney World’s offerings that doesn’t slam visitors with a fistful of fairytales and kiddy rides. The most sophisticated of the Disney parks where you can learn about Japanese culture, sample food from across the globe, and throw your refuse into a talking garbage can all in one trip. EPCOT was the first area that Walt Disney had planned in what eventually would become Disney World, so it all began with a man, a mouse, and a plan for a creepy “utopian” society. Wait, what? “Disney is the place where dreams come true!!” I hear you shouting at your computer screen. Unfortunately, the place where dreams are free but the admission price is worth your kid’s college tuition began with a creepy fantasy to create a society that was all Disney all the time.

With the pandemic-related delay of ‘Black Widow’ last May (along with a plethora of delayed production schedules), 2020 marked the first year since 2009 that Marvel Studios did not release a new film. In 2021, things are starting to look up--U.S. COVID-19 vaccinations are being administered at a breakneck pace, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is poised to return with a vengeance. Following the conclusion of Phase Three of the MCU, which began in 2016 with ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and ended in 2019 with ‘Avengers: Endgame’, Marvel Studios launched Phase Four not with a theatrical blockbuster, but with ‘WandaVision’--having just concluded its 9 episode run on Disney+, it marks a major turning point for the franchise.

The basic premise of ‘Shadow in the Cloud’, the first new release of 2021, is that a World War II bomber is sabotaged by a gremlin. Maude Garrett (Chloë Grace Moretz) witnesses the creature tampering with the plane, but nobody else believes her. If this sounds familiar, it’s because it’s inspired by one of the most famous ‘Twilight Zone’ episodes, ‘Nightmare at 20,000 Feet’, starring William Shatner and directed by Richard Donner.

Whether or not you believe fringe theories that question the authorship of Shakespeare’s plays, the effect his plays on literature and film is unquestionable. William Shakespeare was an English playwright and dramatist that lived during the 16th and 17th centuries. During this Renaissance era, Shakespeare was an essential member of the King’s Men company of theatrical players. He and his business partners built their own theater in 1599, the famous Globe Theater, where they performed the plays penned by Shakespeare.

Almost everyone can recall their favorite movie quote and the actor that delivered it, but seldom do they know the person who actually put the words together. The name of the person responsible for those quotes appears briefly at the end of the credits, just right before the director. Rarely are they present for press tours, or seen during interviews, yet the architect of every film: the screenwriter. The reason they’re overlooked by the public spotlight quite possibly could be the stereotype that’s associated with writers as being anti-social, less talkative people, which may hinder the interest of the public.

Do you ever watch a movie and just can’t focus on the plot because there’s just one actor who you can’t unsee in a previous role? Sometimes actors play roles too well. Breaking out of that one character that earned an actor their Oscar, Emmy, or cultural recognition can be just as difficult as breaking into the industry in the first place! Here are six times that actors broke out of their expected range, genre, or character type by playing unexpected roles.

Semantically, the term “action movie” could theoretically refer to any number of things--after all, anything done by the actors is technically action. That’s why directors call it out. Nevertheless, “action movie” ubiquitously elicits a specific kind of film that was codified as a genre in the 1980s. You think of something akin to Ben Stiller’s fake trailer at the beginning of ‘Tropic Thunder’--beefcakes kicking ass in the most improbable of scenarios, either using an infinitely-loaded machine gun or the brutality of their own fists. Forget character development, subtextual drama, moral and ethical dilemmas, or philosophical poetics that strive to understand the human condition--the answer to everything is either a punch to the face or a hailstorm of bullets.

On November 5th, 2020, the TV show ‘Supernatural’ ended one of the most infamous plotlines to be immortalized by the internet: the extremely, extremely slow burn relationship between Dean Winchester and Castiel the Angel. It ends with a tragically unexpected speech from Castiel about how Dean has changed him and his parting words - “I love you” - before he is killed. ‘Supernatural’ has finally given superfans everywhere the closure they were not expecting on a notorious queerbaiting plot.

Since the birth of Asian cinema, there has been a large focus on food, family, and the ties that bind us together. As cinematographers, writers, and directors like Bong Joon-Ho and Lulu Wang make a triumphant rise in Hollywood and American-dominated Cinema, they bring with them the poetic nature of food symbolism that is foreign to many households. Food and its preparation and consumption can translate the mood of the scene, a blossoming storyline or character arc, and reveal deeper messages and themes within the film.

In days where remakes, reboots, sequels, and live adaptations are common occurrences in the industry, there can be some worry over whether an old favorite will be touched. Sometimes the story that is updated for a modern audience works, but others quickly fade out of the scene. When a beloved film is mentioned in relation to a remake, reboot, sequel, or live adaptation, there is a collectively held breath from fans over the outcome of the endeavor.

John Mulaney is one of, if not, the funniest comedian nowadays. He made a name for himself in stand-up but is more famous now for co-producing one of the biggest animated sitcoms on Netflix called ‘Big Mouth’. It was a toss of a coin whether co-creating a show about the discovery of sexuality in middle school would land Mulaney an Emmy or a guest spot on To ‘Catch a Predator’, but the show has gained a huge following and has garnered a lot of attention for the comedian. But of course, he’s a stand-up comedian first. Sure, comedians like Richard Pryor and George Carlin once joked about corruption and resisting the system while Mulaney jokes about how he’s intimidated by his French bulldog named Petunia, but who cares? Funny is funny.

In honor of awards season and the upcoming 93rd Academy Awards, Hollywood Insider brings to you a prestigious list of the who’s who of auteur directors, a field guide to becoming a film nerd. What is an auteur? To put it simply, a filmmaker with a distinct stylistic vision that exercises complete creative control over their films. Most often, auteur directors appeal to independent audiences, given the nature of their visions. An understanding of arthouse cinema, cannot be complete without comprehensive knowledge of auteur directors. If you’re a newbie to the world of film, venturing into new territory with stylistic directors can be slightly intimidating. That’s why I’m presenting you with a brief history of “auteur theory”, for context, and a list of five movies by some of the most notable auteur directors.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is a Broadway legend. It’s not enough for him to just write a hip hop opera (the proper term is hip-hopera) about rapping founding fathers which became one of the most popular Broadway shows of all time, he also starred in it and serves as the face of the show. 'Hamilton' has decimated the competition and has made Miranda a Broadway icon. But Miranda is more than just Hamilton. He has starred in and composed various productions and has written countless books, movies, and TV episodes which have pushed him from stardom to superstardom. Lin-Manuel Miranda will next be seen in the musical film 'In the Heights'.

Nearly two decades after she first emerged in the entertainment industry, Olivia Wilde made her directorial debut with immediate critical acclaim. Her indie film ‘Booksmart’ was a crowd favorite and was even nominated for a Golden Globe. Since then, Wilde has stepped up and directed another feature, the highly anticipated ‘Don’t Worry Darling’, and is rumored to be attached to a Marvel movie. If nothing else, Wilde’s rapid success is proof of how desperately Hollywood needs and wants representation. ‘Booksmart’ was a movie about empowering women, had a main ensemble cast of women, and focused on an LGBTQ+ love interest. It ticked a lot of boxes of things that are rarely seen in Hollywood and had amazing success. Times are changing and Hollywood needs to change with it.

Although Barry Jenkins has been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, he shot to fame in 2016 after the release of ‘Moonlight’, which he directed as well as co-wrote with Tarell Alvin McCraney. ‘Moonlight’ tells the story of Chiron, an African-American coming to terms with his identity and sexuality. Starting in the 1980s, this incredible coming-of-age story won awards for Best Motion Picture of the Year at the Academy Awards, Best Motion Picture - Drama at the Golden Globes, and many more. Ever since then, Jenkins has sky-rocketed to the forefront of innovative and diverse storytelling and serves as a role model for many other directors.

"When Julianne Moore was cast to play Gloria Steinem in Julie Taymor’s 2020 biopic, it was like a homecoming. It’s a part Moore was destined to play. Like Steinem, Moore has never been afraid to fight for justice--she’s an active member of Everytown for Gun Safety and she marched in protest after the shooting at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. As an Artist Ambassador for Save the Children, Moore campaigns to provide healthcare, education, and opportunities to children disenfranchised by natural disasters and global conflict.
She’s also a leader of Time’s Up, an organization that stands up against harassment, assault, and discrimination in the workplace. She phone-banked for South Carolina Senate candidate Jaime Harrison, who was narrowly defeated, and later for Georgia Senate candidates Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who won, flipping the control of the US Senate to the Democratic party. Win or lose, Moore has the same spirit of perseverance she admires in her hero Steinem."

If you’ve seen ‘Pulp Fiction’ or ‘Austin Powers’, then you’ve seen parodic examples of rear projection, the old cinematic technique wherein a moving background is projected through a screen behind the actors, often for driving scenes. It’s largely been replaced by chroma key compositing, but the basic premise of the concept seems logical and intuitive--why not use pre-existing footage to create background images that would otherwise be difficult, expensive, or impossible to produce?

If you’ve seen my page on Hollywood Insider’s website, you know I’m a huge fan of the classic sitcom ‘The Office.’ As much as I love Michael’s silly antics or Jim’s ongoing mission to be the snarkiest man alive, my heart will always belong to Creed. How to describe the character Creed? Imagine if your grandpa was a meth dealer, an ex-cult leader, all at the same time. Creed is the king of hilarious one-liners and a man of mystery. And he is played by and at least partially based on his real-life counterpart, actor Creed Bratton. Bratton has lived the life of a legend; he’s a rockstar, an actor, and the ultimate symbol of how to be epic in your late-70s. It’s a career that could even make his workaholic Wild at Heart and Dog Eat Dog co-star Nicolas Cage jealous. The actor is refreshingly egalitarian--he speaks of his time working on Speed 2: Cruise Control and his collaborations with Lars Von Trier with the same twinkle in his eye. He’s just as comfortable working in blockbuster franchises as he is working in A24 arthouse dramas.

LGBTQ representation in media has been at the forefront of queer theory for some time now. From early tropes of gay characters being sassy, superficial background characters in shows like ‘Sex and the City’ to modern thought-provoking, intersectional representation of LGBTQ life as exhibited in films such as ‘Moonlight,’ the queer community’s representation in the entertainment industry has made tremendous strides over the past few decades. With these more fleshed out and empathetic portrayals of queer characters, the dehumanization of LGBTQ people is gradually weathered in the process of this normalization. Unfortunately, this progress has not come easily. It has taken decades for queer people to even be allowed to openly express their identities in media and the battle for equal representation in entertainment rages to this day for the most marginalized of the LGBTQ community, namely trans people of color. The trans community is among the most vulnerable in the world (we saw this in the robust transphobic agenda of the Trump administration). It takes brave leaders to advocate for and implement positive trans representation in the entertainment industry to create a safer, more compassionate world for trans people. Fortunately for our society, Laverne Cox has defied all odds in succeeding as a trans actress and uplifting the entire LGBTQ community along with her.

Comic book movies have taken over the film industry over the past decade. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now the highest-grossing movie franchise of all time. Early successes in the medium were Sam Raimi’s ‘Spider-Man,’ Bryan Singer’s ‘X-Men,’ and Tim Burton and Joel Schumacher’s ‘Batman’ films. And Classics like the 60s ‘Batman’ television series with Adam West and the original ‘Superman’ movies with Christopher Reeve are the roots of the genre in television and film. The latter showed the potential of comic book adaptations critically and commercially. It was DC’s ‘The Dark Knight’ that revolutionized the genre, though. This Christopher Nolan film paved the way for studios making comic book movies their tent poles going forward. Marvel and DC are the movies that usually get highlighted when looking back at the history and success of the genre, however, there are other realms of comic strips that are iconic in their own rights. They deserve to be highlighted for what they’ve brought to the table. These other comic strips come in the forms of graphic novels, manga, and comics (outside of Marvel and DC) that were adapted to film and television with enormous success.

Many times the expression ‘jack of all trades’ is followed with ‘master of none’ but this could not be further from the truth when referring to the legendary actor, writer, comedian, producer, and director, Ben Stiller. He’s been delivering impressive artistic projects for over four decades and is one of the most recognized names and faces in the entertainment industry. The son of iconic comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Stiller was around showbusiness his entire life. He and his sister Amy were well-known in the comedy circuit at places like The Improv and ‘The Mike Douglas Show’. He would later enroll as a film student at University of California, Los Angeles, but dropped out after nine months to pursue an acting career in New York, which, as we all know, paid off enormously for him and his hundreds of millions of fans.

"Let’s put all the princesses, adorable animal sidekicks, and valiant princes to the side. It’s time to turn off the lights, sing songs in a minor key, and fill the room with ominous green smoke that no one knows where it came from. Let’s talk about the bad guys! Disney villains are some of Disney’s most well-thought-out characters. While I doubt you can even name the prince in Sleeping Beauty (it’s Phillip, BTW), everyone knows who Maleficent is. She got her own movie, for crying out loud! As a rule of thumb, Disney villains are always scene-stealers. They usually have one of the most epic songs in their respective movies (Hellfire puts Let it Go to shame. Sorry, not sorry.) Unlike some of the side characters in Disney movies or even the prince, Disney villains almost never are one-dimensional. Do you want to disagree with me?

At the heart of photography and film is a chemical, optical process intuited by a multitude of medieval alchemists, artists, philosophers, mathematicians, and modern scientists, establishing the world of technology and art we see today. Predating the photographic era, the perspective of art, science, and the physical world was drastically different. Evolving incrementally over years of experimentation and discovery, leagues of visionaries set the stage for the development of Cinematic art, science, and new technology--forever transforming and shaping the cultural norms often taken for granted in the present day. The saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” can almost lose its original poetic timbre to someone who has been acclimated to the norms of our modern, technology-based culture and its ability to create (relatively) objective, fixed media records of reality itself. What is written language, but a thought, taken and frozen to retain its form for interpretation? This is the function of a still image in photography. But what did life look like before these technological breakthroughs formed the structures of our society?

Michael Sheen was born in Newport, Wales, in 1969 and grew up in Baglan, Port Talbot. An early moment that shaped his future was turning down the opportunity to pursue professional football. At 12, Sheen was offered a spot on the Arsenal youth team, but his family wouldn’t relocate from Wales to London. Sheen would later be grateful for this decision, and instead, at 16, he joined the National Youth Theatre of Wales. He credited his influence on acting to his parents’ involvement in amateur theater productions. A BBC article attributes his later training at the internationally-enowned Royal Academy of Dramatic Art for setting him on the path to stardom.

Jim Gaffigan is one of the funniest comedians out there today. He has packed stadiums and garnered critical praise. Gaffigan has earned his fans by ranting about subjects the everyday person cares about: family, his kids, and bacon. He dedicates a weird amount of his stage time to talk about the beauty of high-cholesterol food. Gaffigan has made a name for himself as one of the most relatable and down-to-earth comedians in the world.

Cowboys and Samurai shouldn’t have anything in common. Though they did coexist for a brief temporal window, samurai have been around since the 12th century and are far more comparable to the chivalric knights of medieval Europe, being hereditary warriors that supposedly follow a strict moral code--cowboys, on the other hand, are so-called because they tend to cattle. Their adventurous exploits generally involved either skirmishing with the Native Americans or fighting/engaging in banditry, at least according to Westerns. In addition, our most popular cinematic understanding of samurai refers not to any of their extended histories as warriors, not to their defense of Japan against Mongolian invaders, to their unsuccessful invasion of the Korean peninsula, nor to the Sengoku Jidai which is as culturally significant to the Japanese as Romance of the Three Kingdoms is to the Chinese.

In honor of respecting and highlighting people and moments that have broken glass ceilings and barriers, we would like to pay tribute to Sofia Coppola, the first and only female director to win an Oscar for Best Director for her film 'The Hurt Locker'. Sofia Coppola has been described as “soft-spoken but in control” on set, a directing style that is clearly reflected in her films. Coppola has carved out a path in Hollywood not only as a talented, critically-acclaimed female director, but one who is also able to make the films she wishes to (unfortunately, still a rather uncommon opportunity for women in the industry). Coppola has always favored smaller, indie-style films that give her creative control over her stories. These showcase female perspectives and Coppola’s distinct style of muted, pastel colors, natural light, and themes of isolation and loneliness.

Before ‘Lights, Camera, Action!’, there was the stage--the theatre. Sometime around the 6th century BC, vibrant theatre traditions began to flourish in classical Athens, Greece, and evolved as various cultures of performers, writers, poets, and artists experimented across the globe with this artistic medium. You may have heard the word thespian tossed around in your high school, claimed proudly by the happy-to-be theatre folk, quoting Shakespeare and practicing their prose and accents. Held in honor of the Greek God Dionysus (known as the God of wine but later deemed as a patron of the arts, he was dualistic in nature--associated with divine joy and ecstasy as well as brutal/blinding rage) was the festival ‘City Dionysia’. It featured competitions in music, poetry, dancing, and singing. A notable winner was a wandering bard named Thespis who, according to tradition, astounded audiences and was the first actor in Greek drama. It was from Thespis that this word was coined, and is commonly used today to describe that which is related to drama and theatre.

Noah Baumbach has crystallized into an auteur, a well-respected filmmaker, and now a three-time Oscar nominee. His style is easily recognizable, with several of his thematic, technical, and cinematic traits being distinctly interwoven in his work. One of those defining characteristics is the high degree of intellectualism and wit in his movies, and his three-dimensional, and always relatable, captivating characters. Philosophical, literary, and artistic references are interwoven in the subtext of every film, giving a clever edge to his unique stories, and how they connect to existing universal stories that convey great truths about people and society. Thematically, Baumbach tackles experiences related to family, divorce, and the life of tortured artists.

On June 23, 1972, in Southfield, Michigan, a baby girl named Selma would enter our world and go on to create a legacy of impact, truth, and inspirational love. Young Selma would then go on to graduate high school in Michigan and venture out to the Big Apple as an aspiring photographer that is, before finding her true calling while taking acting classes at The Stella Adler Conservatory and Stonestreet Studios). From then on, Selma would blossom into a valiant woman and an inspirational human. Selma received her first role at the age of 23 for a single appearance as Penelope Ghiruto in 1995’s ‘The Adventures of Pete & Pete,’ a comedy TV series about two red-headed brothers. At the age of 24, she would get her first feature role as Pretzel Cart Lesbian in 1996's 'The Brocolli Theory,' a film that claims itself to be an unromantic comedy while still being critically claimed as a romantic comedy.

A couple of years ago, you would be forgiven for not knowing the name Florence Pugh. Now, the young star appears set to take over Hollywood with an impressive resume, an Oscar nomination, and a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - all before she turned twenty-four. After landing her first role at seventeen (from her first professional audition, no less), Pugh has risen through the ranks of the industry by taking on complex and engaging roles in both film and television. She has proved her talent and range time and time again - and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon.

Listen to Pritan Ambroase discuss the highlights and his opinions on the 2021 Golden Globes.
On August second, my phone lit up with a Twitter notification from the account @teamfrankdaily reading: “our hearts are shattered for Frank and his Family. Rest in peace @rryanbreaux”. Frank Ocean’s brother Ryan Breaux, along with Ryan’s friend Ezekial Bishop, had died in a car crash. Scanning the text on my phone, the words “Frank”, “hearts are shattered” and “rest in peace”, froze my world for the longest millisecond I’ve ever known. After carefully rereading, and discovering that it was Ryan who had passed, I sat in shock for a different reason. Although I do not know Frank or his brother, (and will not pretend to), I know pain. I owe Frank Ocean my current state as an artist and it’s time I personally give him his flowers. I am not an award show or an acclaimed music critic, I am just a fan whose life has changed with incredible music from a brilliant artist. An Introduction to Meaningful Music from Frank Ocean It wasn’t until eighth grade that I opened Apple Music on my new iPhone 6 and started my free trial. After 13 years I was finally beginning to take control of my music consumption, finding out what type of music I actually liked, instead of just listening to whatever the radio introduced me to. When I discovered Frank Ocean a year later, he revolutionized my music taste, and thus who I was as a person. At every major occurrence of my life since ninth grade, I have listened to Frank Ocean. I listened to him on just about every plane ride, every long road trip, and just to pass time. Frank Ocean’s music gives me an appreciation for beautiful things; as an artist, Frank Ocean taught me how to be an artist. Listening to his music taught me how to tune into the art around me, to see it, and hear it too. In just about every moment of stillness, I listen to Frank Ocean and open my eyes to the gorgeousness around me.

The genre of war films has been explored regularly throughout the years. These movies come in many different packages. There are standard installments where the message behind the film is the chaos of war and the lack of meaning behind the conflicts. Many of the Hollywood films over the years incorporate these messages in different stories from different wars. They are important messages, and there is a reason the genre is still explored today, but what doesn’t always get highlighted is the perspective of the other side. The movie ‘Valkyrie’ comes to mind when thinking about an American production told from the point of view of Germans. While the film can be considered well-done, with a solid leading performance from Tom Cruise, eyebrows were raised at this American telling of a German tale. This isn’t the only time a famous American movie decided to tell a foreign story. Another example is ‘Letters from Iwo Jima.’ Again, this can be considered a well-done film. It won an Oscar for Sound Editing and was nominated for Best Motion Picture of the Year, Best Achievement in Directing, and Best Writing - Original Screenplay. Crucially, for this story, Iris Yamashita was involved in the writing.

While Steven Yeun is best known for his role as Glenn Rhee in ‘The Walking Dead,’ it’s now abundantly clear that the role was merely the beginning of an illustrious career. Through a variety of acting roles in character-driven films and animated shows, leading up to this year’s release of ‘Minari,’ Yeun has proved himself as a deeply empathetic and honest presence on the screen – an actor who no doubt has the chops to be nominated for this year’s Best Actor award. Playing Fan Favorite Glenn Rhee in ‘The Walking Dead’ From the moment Yeun’s character Glenn Rhee saved Rick Grimes from a military tank overrun by Walkers (zombies) in episode 2 of ‘The Walking Dead,’ he was an instant fan-favorite. The first survivor we meet in this post-apocalyptic world, Glenn set the standard for the absolute best of humanity one could see in a zombie outbreak – putting his own life at risk to help a stranger escape his otherwise inevitable demise. As a character, Glenn flourished as a positive force within Rick’s group – the kind of “everyman” that everyone trusted. This kind of altruism is something the characters seem to chase for the rest of the show’s tenure, struggling to find a safe home amongst strangers who most likely are only thinking of their own survival.

Studio Ghibli is one of the most magnificent and influential studios in Cinema history. It was founded in 1985 by Toshio Suzuki, Isao Takahata, and Hayao Miyazaki. To give readers a brief insight into the depth of the studio’s impact on film is this emotional tribute by ex-Chief Creative Officer of Pixar and Disney, John Lasseter, “Whenever we get stuck at Pixar or Disney, I put on a Miyazaki film sequence or two, just to get us inspired again.” The list of famous names attached to the films of Studio Ghibli’s English dubbed versions is enormous. Some of the standouts include Patrick Stewart, Uma Thurman, Mark Hamill, Daisy Ridley, Dev Patel, Tom Holland, Saoirse Ronan, Kirsten Dunst, Tina Fey, Anne Hathaway, John Cho, Lucy Liu, Christian Bale, Claire Danes, Gillian Anderson, Jada Pinkett Smith, Billy Crudup, and Keith David. Five of Studio Ghibli’s films feature on IMDb’s Top Rated Movies list, and many of their movies regularly feature on top animated films and best movies of all times lists. Roger Ebert’s website has a page dedicated to the Studio Ghibli collection, and in his four out of four stars praise of ‘My Neighbor Totoro,’ he states, “Whenever I watch it, I smile, and smile, and smile.”

A News in Health article discusses how interacting with animals has been shown to decrease stress levels and lower blood pressure. Animals can also reduce loneliness and increase feelings of social support, as well as boost your mood. There are so many benefits of having an animal in your life, and films have been able to tap into this benefit over the years. For many movies, an essential role for heart and depth or comedic relief can come from animals or pets. The term “man’s best friend” was coined for a reason. It is no surprise that many films over the years incorporate these beings into their stories. Animals in film are not limited to dogs, though. The films we discuss below showcase some of the best examples of animals stealing the show.

There’s a reason why today’s youth are called “Gen Z;” it stands for Zendaya. You may know her from the upcoming Netflix film, Malcolm & Marie, but Zendaya has been a force to be reckoned with for over a decade. Ever since her Disney Channel debut, the actress has participated in shows like Euphoria and films like The Greatest Showman, even staking her claim in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Spider-Man’s MJ. Zendaya - Subverting the stereotype of the Disney Star Zendaya made her acting debut in Disney Channel’s Original Series Shake It Up when she was just 14 years old. She played the practical, level-headed Rocky Blue to Bella Thorne’s impulsive CeCe Jones, as the two best friends pursued their dreams of becoming professional dancers. In retrospect, this role effectively established Zendaya as a triple threat. Not only did she act and dance in the show, but she eventually debuted with original songs such as Something to Dance For and Swag it Out, as well as a self-titled album called Zendaya, during her Disney tenure. All the while, she was featured in Disney Channel Original Movies and guest-starred in a variety of their shows. These consecutive, exponential releases cemented Zendaya as the ultimate family-friendly role model in the early 2010s.

There are a lot of photos lying around my childhood home of me as a young boy posing like Spider-Man, with the three-pronged web-shooting hand configuration and legs bent like the In-N-Out logo. Sam Raimi’s trilogy of ‘Spider-Man’ films came out at just the right time of my formative years for me to incessantly fantasize about swinging from building to building. However, little Danny boy didn’t have the strongest grasp or understanding of authorship, celebrities, and cameo appearances–I would play the ‘Spider-Man’ game for the original PlayStation many times over but didn’t understand who the quirky narrator was for a long time. He introduced himself at the beginning, “Welcome, true believers and newcomers alike! Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee here.” I wondered to myself, who is Stan Lee? What does this have to do with the game? Then I would watch the movies and notice an old man with a distinctive voice popping up here and there. Wait, is that him on the beach in ‘X-Men’? Who was this man, insistent on infiltrating my beloved superhero media?

Although this may come as a surprise to fans of the films, it comes as no shock to comic book connoisseurs that the source material for Marvel and DC films has been full of LGBTQ superheroes for years. In the comics, several of the most iconic and beloved superheroes and villains have taken on queer iterations. This includes fan favorites Loki, who has expressed genderqueer and bisexual identities in Marvel Comics, and Harley Quinn whose relationship with Poison Ivy was confirmed to be more than platonic by the creators of her comics. Even Wonder Woman, one of, if not the most emblematic figures of superheroism, has been confirmed as queer in her comic book form. Renowned comic book writer, screenwriter, and novelist Greg Rucka discussed Wonder Woman’s woman-inhabited home of Themyscira, “It’s supposed to be paradise… You’re supposed to be able — in a context where one can live happily, and part of what an individual needs for that happiness is to have a partner — to have a fulfilling, romantic, and sexual relationship. And the only options are women… Now, are we saying Diana has been in love and had relationships with other women?… The answer is obviously yes.”

Music is an extremely important part of filmmaking. It sets the tone of the scene/movie and adds an extra layer to the emotions being portrayed in the scene. Film composers are generally not part of the spotlight, even though the right composer is extremely important to elevate a movie to new heights and achieve the intended effect on the audience. Few composers are public figures in and of themselves, and one such name is the phenomenally successful Hans Zimmer. German-born Hans Zimmer has become a celebrity in his own right by his mega-famous scores for blockbuster movies. Born with the talent of music, he has surprisingly never completed formal training in music; the length of his formal training spans only two weeks of piano lessons. Despite this, it is clear that he has an especially natural musical talent as he has gone on to compose and produce scores for over 150 titles over the span of a 40-year long career. He is also known for experimenting with unconventional instruments to create soul-stirring scores that become synonymous with the public brand of the movie.

“Scream Queen”, “Buffy”, and “The Notorious SMG” are just some of the aliases iconic actress Sarah Michelle Gellar has amassed in the span of her pop culture-defining career. Gellar’s resume consists of a plethora of classic characters and performances that have become emblematic of the zeitgeist of the ‘90s and early 2000s. From ‘90’s “It Girl” stomping down every noteworthy red carpet to one of the mainstream’s earliest symbols of feminism, Sarah Michelle Gellar has proven the magnitude of her superstardom time and time again.
Although the star has garnered an enormous die-hard fanbase that continues to expand, one of the major crises facing our nation today is the blatant disregard for SMG’s contribution to pop culture and the entertainment industry as a whole. Her ability to shine as an action hero, romantic lead, and comedian, all while serving immaculate fashion, is unparalleled. If you are unfamiliar, here are the reasons to stan Sarah Michelle Gellar."

From an English major at Georgetown University, where he would join an improv group with fellow legendary comedians Nick Kroll and Mike Birbiglia, the stand-up special king and former Saturday Night Live writer, John Mulaney, has established himself as one of the greatest comedians of the 21st century. He has said some of the most memorable jokes, “some of the things I was anxious about as a kid don’t bother me at all anymore.
Like I always thought quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it turned out to be,” and sensational performances in a myriad of different projects, ranging from his debut set on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (“it was always weird when I’d go out for the night with like some money, and then blackout and wake up with no money.

One of the most popular types of film in Cinema history is the Biopic. This genre dramatizes the life of a non-fictional person, usually a public or historical figure. The people depicted over the years in film vary from Kings and Queens from the middle ages to contemporary figures still alive today. The movies from their stories can be important reminders of people and events that shaped our history.
Regardless of whom the film focuses on, the classic elements of a Biopic tend to be the personal lives of the characters and the confrontation and obstacles that challenge their pursuits. The themes explored in these films often resonate throughout time. Biopics are a meaningful way to honor the lives and stories of people that should be remembered and recognized today. However, not all of them should be remembered fondly. Below is a list of ten films representing outstanding Biopics that show the best of humanity and warn against the worst.

Terrence Malick’s films feel like poems that have come to life onscreen. His career began in 1973 with the release of Badlands, and his most recent film, A Hidden Life, was released in 2019. Malick is a lifelong filmmaker who uses film as a medium to ponder his own questions concerning love, death, religion, morality, and existentialism. He accomplishes this through his lingering cinematography, length of his films, and frequent utilization of voiceovers. The gift of his four decades in the film industry is a unique opportunity to watch the evolution of Malick’s own wisdom through the lens of his directorial work. In this article, we’ll be comparing three of Malick’s films, Badlands, The Thin Red Line, and The Tree of Life, which each pinpoint the director’s progression in thought through their similar, yet varied narrative themes.

1 – Kevin Costner frequently opts to play moralistic characters.
Every actor carefully selects the roles he or she plays. Costner often opts to play characters with a good moral compass and a sense of justice. Early in his career, he was often compared to Gregory Peck of To Kill a Mockingbird fame because of his tendency to choose characters with a tendency to do what’s right.
2 – He has the willpower of legends
According to a Rolling Stones interview, Costner used to smoke for recreation. He never let himself get addicted and was able to quit just because “it stopped being fun.” It just goes to show that Costner has a willpower that most of us could only dream of.

Pulp Fiction. Inglorious Basterds. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. There is one man responsible for directing some of Hollywood’s biggest and most talked-about films. Quentin Tarantino can be a complicated figure, a mysterious open book. So, here are 32 facts that may shine some light on one of the greatest directors of our age:
Tarantino wasn’t born the legendary director that he is today, but his fascination with movies has long persisted. Before directing Hollywood’s top movies, he was selling movies at a store called Video Archives in Manhattan Beach, California.
While plenty of people know his early works like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, few have ever even heard of Tarantino’s first film. My Best Friend’s Birthday, directed by Tarantino and Craig Hamann, was never completed but gives a glimpse into a bright filmmaking future.

Reynolds’ sentiments ring quite true -- there is no one who embodies her perfectly-timed wit and humor as well as Betty White, and there is no one in television with a resume quite as impressive as hers. From TV classics such as “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and “The Golden Girls,” to game show appearances and 10 years of hosting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on CBS, White’s multitude of roles has landed her acclaim as one of the most respected comedians and actresses today.
White’s television career began in 1939 after she and a classmate graduated high school and sang songs from “The Merry Widow” on an experimental TV show. She didn’t get very far before World War II broke out and she volunteered for the American Women's Voluntary Services, where she helped in the transportation of military supplies through California. After the war, she attempted to find work at movie studios but wound up landing jobs in radio, where she would read commercials, sing, or make guest appearances on game shows.

Seth Rogen is a comedy legend. He is a member of the VIP club in the realm of comedy gods. There are very few movies or TV shows he has starred in that don’t qualify as comedy gold. He hit the ground running starring in the classic sitcom Freaks and Geeks at the tender age of seventeen, and since then he has climbed his way up to the top of comedy Mt. Olympus by being hilarious, having moxie, and maybe bribing the guards at comedy Mt. Olympus with a little weed.
Here are the 32 facts on Seth Rogen:
1- He’s a true canook.
Rogen was born in British-Columbia, Canada. He shares a birth country with Ryan Reynolds, curling, and bacon that’s not really bacon. (Canadian bacon is just thick ham. Sorry not sorry.)
2- He has made references to his Canadian heritage in movies throughout his career.
Maybe Rogen misses the land where I sincerely hope that traffic is regularly stopped to make way for moose flash mobs because he constantly sneaks in mentions of the Great White North in his movies. The most famous of which is in Superbad when McLovin is asked his address and he says 13th and Granville. Granville is a major road in Vancouver.

Bollywood, as the Hindi film industry is colloquially called, is one of the biggest international movie industries in the world, stemming from a country with over 1.3 billion people. It is also home to some of the most famous actresses in the world. Their talent has propelled them to become internationally renowned figures, such as Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Deepika Padukone.
However, there was a time in Bollywood when actresses were not allowed to perform in movies at all. In fact, in the earlier ages of Bollywood, the female roles were also played by men, such as in the first-ever Hindi feature film, Raja Harishchandra (1913). There was a gradual entry of female actors into the industry in the 1920s. Since India is predominantly Hindu and Muslim, there were no female actors from the general Indian society as it was not considered to be a proper profession in their community. Where were these actresses coming from? In a surprising turn of events, these actresses were secretly Jewish, from the small community of Baghdadi Jews who had resettled in India. They used stage names that were more commonplace in India to be relatable to the larger Indian audience. They led the way for a lot of progress for female actresses in the industry, unbeknownst to the larger public. In this piece, we will explore the three most influential Jewish actresses who paved the way for female actresses in the industry.

When Paul Rudd was cast as Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, some couldn’t help but react with amusement. Rudd was a comic actor, known for sidekick roles in films like ‘Anchorman’ and ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’, suddenly drafted up to the MCU big leagues to match muscles and wits with Iron Man and Captain America. Not only that, but the character seemed absurd, even for an MCU that had recently inducted the Guardians of the Galaxy into its ranks. He shrinks down to the size of an ant while retaining the strength of a man, and he can also talk to ants.
It’s the sort of idiosyncratic comic book character that nowadays might wind up on the roster of a Suicide Squad, or the sort of oddball character Rudd could have played for his friends Tim and Eric on their Adult Swim sketch comedy show (Ant-Man isn’t that far of a leap from Celery Man). Rudd leaned into the humor of the premise, crafting a character who is frequently as gobsmacked by the world of superheroes as the rest of us. His contributions led to him becoming the only MCU actor to be additionally credited as a writer on his film series, and his smaller-stakes approach to the character paid off in a big way when Ant-Man became the unexpected MVP of ‘Avengers: Endgame.’

Now, that notoriety has extended globally, with the writer-director-actor’s hand in both the Marvel and Star Wars universes, and claiming an Oscar with black comedy ‘Jojo Rabbit’. This success will surely continue to grow as this original voice makes a name for himself in film and television alike.

America and Britain have a long history with each other. In film and television, comedy is one aspect that has been influenced by our British cousins over the years. In modern times, American comedy is starting to resemble traditional British humor. One way this can be seen is by looking at the lists of American remakes of British television and film, which are numerous. Another way is how comedy has changed over the years. This article looks at the differences between the two and how American comedy took inspiration from British humor and developed further.

When you think of a traditional Bollywood “hero”, what image comes to your mind? A lighter-skinned, tall, conventionally handsome actor who inspires romantic fantasies in his audience. For decades, Bollywood was centered around the genre of romance with only stereotypically good-looking actors in the lead roles. There was no place for a performer who does not fit this mold to be cast as the lead character in Bollywood movies. Then came along a man from a small village in North India, and shattered that mold.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui has become one of the most respected and sought-after actors in the industry. The unique selling point of his brand is that he is able to make commercially successful movies while holding on to the quality and standard of performances typically seen in critically acclaimed movies. There is a magic in his performance that makes him stand out amongst a sea of more traditionally good-looking Bollywood heroes. When he’s on-screen, all eyes can't help but gravitate towards him. In this piece, we will take a look at his more than humble beginnings, along with how he made it up to become one of the topmost bankable stars in the business.

With 164 credits on IMDb, Steve Buscemi lights the stage as one of the most recognizable actors in the entertainment industry, starring in films made by some of the biggest and most respected filmmakers, ranging from Quentin Tarantino, the Coen Brothers, to Adam Sandler. Aside from being one of the busiest actors in Hollywood since the mid-eighties, Buscemi spent his youth bravely fighting fires. From 1980 to 1984, he was a New York City firefighter and famously returned to his former firehouse to volunteer after the 9/11 attacks.
He was even arrested two years later for protesting the closures of several firehouses, including his former place of employment. This kind of heroism and dignity brings a charm to Buscemi’s personal life, which elevates his acting talents to establishing him as an icon. He’s crushed every role he’s been in and has always delivered a promising performance, no matter how large his role is.

Okay, we’ve got to be mature about this. It’s time to do some serious analysis of both versions of the classic The Office. I need to really get into it. That’s what she said. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Both versions of The Office are considered classics in their own right. The UK version premiered in 2001 and had a modest following at first, but later gained viewership in re-runs and became one of the most successful shows in UK television history. The US version lasted from 2005 to 2013. During the first season, it had a low viewership but after Steve Carell starred in The 40-Year-Old Virgin in the hiatus after the first season, the show gained massive popularity. Though many use the tried and true argument of “the original is always better” to arrive at the conclusion that the UK version of The Office will always reign supreme, today I’ll be doing a deeper analysis.

If you were to ask everyone you know from all ages to name their favorite comedians, the most common name you’ll hear is Jerry Seinfeld. No one has shaped the comedy landscape like him. Out of his four specials, he’s earned four Emmy nominations total. His two big shows in the past three decades have earned him 73 Emmy nominations and 3 Golden Globe wins, an incredible ratio that’s unmatched by any stand-up comedian in history.
Seinfeld’s gifted observational abilities made his comedy relatable to everyone (such as “People’s number one fear is public speaking, number 2 is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? That means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy” - Jerry Seinfeld, “I’m Telling You for the Last Time”) which made his show Seinfeld the 3rd most critically and commercially successful comedy sitcom ever made. It’s fascinating how someone can have less than thirty Writing/Acting/Directing IMDb credits yet garner almost one hundred nominations from the most highly coveted institutions in the entertainment industry. It’s an accomplishment that no one else has done like Seinfeld has, which makes it fair to label him as the Midas of Comedy.

The legacy of the Barrymore family is as central to the prosperity of the film industry as Hollywood is itself. In the early 1910s, film production was just beginning to find a new home in the town of Hollywood and several rising stars of the silver screen flocked to Southern California in hopes to establish their burgeoning careers. Of the film actors that were able to find success in what became known as the Golden Age of Hollywood, two kindled a romance that would culminate in a family tree integral to the American film industry.
John Barrymore, a prominent star in romantic films of the early 20th century, and Dolores Costello, nicknamed Goddess of the Silent Screen, met while working at Warner Bros Studios. The couple got married in 1928 and, in addition to continuing their illustrious film careers, had two children. The power couple’s son, John Jr., continued his family's trade of acting where he found fame of his own. Eventually, John Jr. married Jaid Mako and their daughter, Drew Barrymore, was born in 1975.

The year was 2006. Daniel Craig, the new James Bond, took the role after dozens of names were considered. Eva Green became the reboot’s first Bond girl, beating out Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, and Audrey Tautou. And then there was the role of the villain, which went to a somewhat obscure actor from Denmark--Mads Mikkelsen.
Despite having only appeared in one English-language film, 2004’s underappreciated King Arthur, the Danish actor seems to have been the only actor in serious contention for the part. As the villain Le Chiffre, Mikkelsen was glacial, calculating, and ironic. Perhaps even more importantly for a Bond film, he looked good in designer suits, luxury sports cars, and overpriced watches. Producers didn’t need to look elsewhere; Mads fit the part perfectly.

My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman is a warm watch made especially for those who feel like the talk show format could do with more honesty and less artifice. It comes across as something approaching the midpoint between a typical piece of late-night and more laid-back interview platforms such as The Joe Rogan Experience. Who better to usher in this transition than David Letterman, the king of late-night. My Next Guest Needs No Introduction boasts a variety of guests and some refreshingly candid interviews, even if it dips into a self-congratulatory Hollywood waffle every now and then.

Soon to be the most powerful woman in the United States, Harris has been very vocal about the importance of her roots at a historically Black institution. In her book titled “The Truths We Hold”, Harris writes how at Howard, “every signal told students that we could be anything – that we were young, gifted, and black, and we shouldn’t let anything get in the way of our success.”

Eddie Redmayne was born in the borough of Westminster, London, in 1982. He described in a SAG-AFTRA interview how his parents brought him and his siblings regularly to the theater when he was a kid. Redmayne had no familiar connections to the entertainment industry and credited the acting bug coming from landing a small role in Sam Mendes’s ‘Oliver’ at the London Palladium. The part only had one speaking line for Redmayne, but it was the start of his pursuit of acting.

It’s been a hell of a decade for Nicolas Cage. The actor, who spent the first part of his career accumulating a veritable dragon’s hoard of treasure (including, but certainly not limited to, a medieval castle, a haunted house in New Orleans, and a comic book featuring the first appearance of Superman), entered the 2010’s on a mission to free himself from debts accrued from said accumulation of treasure. Already regarded as one of the hardest-working actors, Cage has spent the last ten years routinely starring in four or more features a year. Were all of these films heartbreaking masterpieces? Of course not. Did this sudden glut of oftentimes-direct-to-VOD movies cause some people to regard Nicolas Cage as a mediocre actor? Yes, it did. Are those people wrong? Again, the answer is yes.

In early 2012, Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins went viral in a news interview where she details her apartment complex setting fire. The video, known as "Aint Nobody Got Time for That," which garnered millions of views, was an ongoing joke for my sixth-grade class. Back then, YouTube was only seven years old (it is more than twice that now), and our behavior on the internet was radically different. To put it into perspective, Instagram wouldn't come out until a year later. The way we documented information, including memes, was fundamentally different. Although the viral video is funny on the surface, looking back, I am curious about whether we were laughing with Kimberly "Sweet Brown" Wilkins or laughing at her.

Though Kristen Stewart gained widespread recognition for her role in the Twilight Series, she has since actively showcased her newfound voice with her freshly emerging profile. As most of us know, the character “Bella” that she portrayed in the series was the soft-spoken, submissive, girl with “no special attributes”. The way the character was written (not to her demerit) was relatively one-dimensional. She had some issues with her parents and fitting in at her new school but ultimately she was painted to be the normal girl that happened to magnetize men--vampire, wolf, and human alike.

Jake Gyllenhaal was born in 1980 in Los Angeles, California. His father, Stephen Gyllenhaal, is an Emmy nominated director, and his mother, Naomi Foner, is an Academy Award-nominated writer. In an interview with The Guardian, Gyllenhaal recalls director Steven Soderbergh renting a room above their garage before he became famous. Other interesting stories about early encounters with famous people in film include Paul Newman taking him to the race track and teaching him driving safety. Newman is not Gyllenhaal’s godfather, though, which is a fact that is often misreported. His godfather is Academy Award-winning cinematographer Robert Elswit. Needless to say, Gyllenhaal was around the film industry growing up.

The industry was rocked by the recent passing of Hollywood great Sir Sean Connery, one of the greatest actors in the industry. He is most commonly known as the first and original James Bond, launching the wildly popular, currently seven-decade long-running franchise. He has played the character in seven movies which effectively launched him into superstardom. After retiring from Bond, he worked in various other acclaimed bodies of work before joining yet another popular franchise, Indiana Jones. He won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his portrayal of Jim Malone in the 1987 movie The Untouchables, which also starred Robert De Niro and Kevin Costner. Given his wildly successful career and his famously brash personality, in this piece, we will dive into the personality that was Sean Connery.

Seth Rogen is a comedy legend. He is a member of the VIP club in the realm of comedy gods. There are very few movies or TV shows he has starred in that don’t qualify as comedy gold. He hit the ground running starring in the classic sitcom Freaks and Geeks at the tender age of seventeen, and since then he has climbed his way up to the top of comedy Mt. Olympus by being hilarious, having moxie, and maybe bribing the guards at comedy Mt. Olympus with a little weed.

The saying a picture is worth a thousand words can be expertly utilized in film, but since the invention of sound in movies, the dialogue has been pivotal to the content a film can relay. A single line, much like a single picture, can speak volumes. Over the years, there have been many great writers in Hollywood. Likewise, many great films made their way into the zeitgeist and will forever be quoted. To break down the best dialogue in cinema, we will take two different approaches to look at the spoken word. One will focus on the overall dialogue in film. This list will include movies that are driven by their dialogue, whether by nuance or outright ferocity. The other list will focus on one-liners. This list will highlight the moments in film that blow away the viewer with one line of dialogue.

Most recognize George R. R. Martin as the author of the bestselling series behind the massive hit HBO show Game of Thrones. However, Martin had been selling books and writing for Hollywood long before A Song of Ice and Fire, and Game of Thrones shot him to superstardom. Martin was born in 1948 in Bayonne, New Jersey. He began writing at an early age and sold monster stories to other children in the neighborhood for pennies. In an interview for Bustle, Martin conducted with Stephen King, Martin described his childhood as existing within a five-block radius, with books and comic books being his ticket to a wider world. He would imagine and invent stories to explore the world beyond his neighborhood as well. His early writings blossomed into pieces for comic fanzines before making his first sale at the age of 21 with his short story “The Hero.”

On August second, my phone lit up with a Twitter notification from the account @teamfrankdaily reading: “our hearts are shattered for Frank and his Family. Rest in peace @rryanbreaux”. Frank Ocean’s brother Ryan Breaux, along with Ryan’s friend Ezekial Bishop, had died in a car crash. Scanning the text on my phone, the words “Frank”, “hearts are shattered” and “rest in peace”, froze my world for the longest millisecond I’ve ever known. After carefully rereading, and discovering that it was Ryan who had passed, I sat in shock for a different reason. Although I do not know Frank or his brother, (and will not pretend to), I know pain. I owe Frank Ocean my current state as an artist and it’s time I personally give him his flowers. I am not an award show or an acclaimed music critic, I am just a fan whose life has changed with incredible music from a brilliant artist.

Celebrities have always been subject to the pendulum of relevance and obsession that’s always followed by equal amounts of disdain. Thanks to the internet, this process is not only accelerated, but it’s incredibly more obvious and we’re able to see a more dramatized rise and fall of celebrities. We’ve called this steep fall, canceling, or cancel culture. It can happen to business or products too; one minute this new brand is a hit on social media, the next it’s deemed problematic and outcasted. However, whether it’s a person, a product or business, “canceling” something or someone is often confused with consumers holding individuals and corporations accountable. When we remember that we don’t owe millionaire celebrities or multi-billion dollar corporations anything whatsoever, cancel culture doesn’t hold up; it isn’t real.

From his early work as a young artist in Even Stevens, to some of his more recent works of more matured variety, multi-artist Shia LaBeouf fetches our love with his dynamic career and boldly creative choices as we’ve watched him blossom throughout the years. Recently, at a comical virtual table read for Fast Times at Ridgemont High, he gifted us with some chuckles for charity as he gave a classic character, a Shia-like twist with his hilariously authentic portrayal of Jeff Spicoli (sporting a most-likely real joint and animated neon sunglasses). The performance was a hit, and despite the table read being cast with Brad Pitt, Matthew McConaughey, Julia Roberts, Morgan Freeman, Henry Golding, and more, Shia LaBeouf stole the show. Trending with a lot of popularity on Twitter and social media, Shia is often praised for his commitment and character dedication.

Oliver Stone is the legendary filmmaker behind many spectacular films. His career spans decades, and his work has covered pivotal moments of history. Stone was born in New York City in 1946, where he spent a lot of his youth. He attended Yale briefly before dropping out to teach English in Vietnam. Stone went back to Yale for a short period before dropping out again and enlisting in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War in 1967. He was a decorated soldier for his service, and when Stone returned to the States, he enrolled in NYU’s film school, where one of his teachers was Martin Scorsese.

He’s been one of the hottest actors in the world since the early 2010s. He’s played everything from Stephen Hawking to Sherlock Holmes to Doctor Strange to Khan. If you haven’t gathered by now, 90% of the characters he’s played are either evil, genius, or both. He has a legion of dedicated fans worldwide who have dubbed themselves “Cumberb*tches” much to the actor’s chagrin as he is also a feminist. Is there anything not to love about this guy? He has been in a ridiculous amount of TV shows and movies since the beginning of the 2000s and he’s still going strong.

In Hollywood, there are many reasons why an actor or director disappears from the spotlight. They can have a bad run of movies, trouble in their personal lives, or decide to step away from it all. There are many stories where a once shining star fades into the background. However, every once in awhile, there is a comeback. An actor gets a role that redefines what they can do. A director tackles a project that reminds audiences that the rust can be washed off. Whatever causes the motivation behind their return, there are a number of actors and directors who felt their work in Hollywood wasn’t done.

Let’s face it DC Films, in recent years your films have lacked the critical and commercial success Marvel has managed to garner. And it’s hard to tell why. DC has American icons in its corner. The Superman and Batman comics have helped to make the American comic book industry what it is today.How are these classic heroes not a recipe for success and why has the Marvel Cinematic Universe eclipsed DC in both box office numbers and critical acclaim? Marvel and DC have very similar budgets for their movies. And they both seem to have an equal amount of Star Power. So why do MCU movies leave DCEU movies when it comes to public opinion?

There are many reasons why a theatrical cut of a film can be vastly different from the original vision of the director. Sometimes it is the runtime going too long; other times, the studio financing the film has creative differences with the director. This can be a good thing. There are many films where the director’s cut completely changed the movie in a way that did not sit well with viewers. The opposite, where the director’s cut gave the film a superior experience to the theatrical version, is what this article will focus on. A section for alternate endings will also be discussed, for the same reason. Some of these also have director’s cuts but are on the list for focus on their alternate endings.

It’s the story we’ve all heard countless times before: boy meets girl, hilariously tender mishaps occur, and they fall hopelessly in love with one another. Romantic comedies have been irresistible since the beginning of storytelling because we can’t help but love love. Shakespeare knew it, J-17 magazine knew it, and due to the successful patriarchal brainwashing of western culture, now you know it too. Looking back on some of our favorite rom-coms as adults, however, can prove tricky. We watch them to escape the harrowing reality of life, only to be thrown back into the confusing world of playful sexism for comedy’s sake. The leading women in these movies are constantly thrown under the bus, metaphorical or otherwise for a punchline that isn’t worth it in the end. Beyond this, they teach young women that love should be complicated and hard, that it is exhibited through taunting, teasing, hatred, and heartbreak. The simple question should be asked: Why? Why do we continue to perpetuate these stereotypes, even when they play into the facade of new-age Hollywood fads of “progressive” feminist film? Listen to our podcast as we answer this important question.

Since the 1977 release of the original Star Wars, later rechristened as Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, the epic sci-fi series has stood at the forefront of pop culture. With eleven films and countless other stories told through animated series, novels and comic books, the world of Star Wars is large and ever-expanding. The series has kept Lucasfilm, bought by the Walt Disney Company in 2012, at the top of box-office. Last year’s Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker has been touted as the end of “The Skywalker Saga”, a nine-film story consisting of the “original trilogy” released between 1977 and 1983, the “prequel trilogy” released between 1999 and 2005, and the “sequel trilogy” released between 2015 and 2019. While there exist two other films in the franchise, these nine films make up the main Star Wars narrative, all focused on the members of the Skywalker family. With that wrapped up, the main question is: where will the franchise go next? Listen to our podcast to find out more!

As our nation grows increasingly more aware of the systemic racism on which so many of our industries are built and benefit from, the world is zeroing in on issues of race within our entertainment industries. Following the tragic death of George Floyd in May, companies around the world both big and small are taking action and standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. Film and television shows alike are getting criticized for lack of representation and white-washing, which has allowed white actors and actresses to play the role of a non-white character. Recently, the world of animated television has been owning up to its mistakes in casting white actors to voice non-white characters. Shows like The Simpsons and Family Guy have announced that they are taking a closer look at their casting choices and making necessary changes for a brighter future of equality.

Everyone can appreciate a good troll, especially for an even better cause. Unfortunately last month, a trend for “White Out Wednesday” started on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter as a means for Republicans to support white supremacy. The hashtag, “whitelivesmatter” was subsequently flushed with Korean Pop Music idols, overwhelming the hashtag to prevent anti-Black posts from seeing the light of day. Instead, Twitter recognized the trend in the“K-Pop” category. K-Pop megafans successfully derailed a racist campaign on several occasions, also spamming superstar “fan cams” into a police app meant to apprehend protesters. While actions have been taken in the past to combat racist social media and law enforcement traps, the K-Pop fandom method feels more effective. Listen to our podcast to find out more!

Although Yorgos Lanthimos is yet to be a household name in film, the Greek director’s recognition is no longer confined to art-house circles. Since he moved to London and started to develop his projects in English, with significantly bigger budgets and internationally recognized faces like Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman, he has garnered a considerable reputation for his black humor, exaggerated premises, “quirky” characters and reflections on dynamics of power. He also received critical acclaim for this work. And yet, perhaps besides Dogtooth, Lanthimos’ earlier work is much less known and accessible. Moreover, there seems to be a considerable number of viewers who see his style of filmmaking – full of absurdism, deadpan and physicality – as scattered, misguided and boring at best, and empty, nihilistic and pretentious at worst. In opposition to these views, this podcast will argue that Lanthimos’ stylistic choices are meaningful as they reflect an approach to the study of power that is non-psychological, in order to put emphasis on the mechanistic nature of the relations of authority, control and obedience in contemporary Western society.

Beyonce's latest Disney+ album 'Black is King' has taken the world by storm, to applause as well as to controversy. While Black is King is being celebrated in reel-life, there is a Black Queen who is proving that Black is Queen in real-life - Theresa Kachindamoto. Nestled along the coast of a lake with the same name, the country of Malawi is an African melting pot of cultures. While the continent has a wealth of customs and traditions not seen in the United States, we often find ourselves outlawing African lifestyles in the US. We have a strong tendency to fear things that are “other” without examining our own culture. That said, both the U.S. and Malawi have social reform issues that need examining, and as the United States appears to crawl where resources are abundant, it seems Malawi leaps in its most populous areas where resources are scarce. Thanks to Theresa Kachindamoto, who is the sitting paramount chief of Malawi’s Dedza District, Malawi moves in a positive direction.

There is the regular MPAA Censorship and then there is new age STREAMING CENSORSHIP: Over the last couple of years, a good amount has been written on how streaming platforms are challenged with non-US government regulations and licensing agreements regarding their content and how they navigate the murky waters of streaming censorship. Earlier this year, Netflix put out a list of the content it has taken off its platform due to government censorship demands in a number of countries. Amazon Prime has been reported to removea whole episode from its platform, as well as sanitizing its original content. However, not much is known regarding the guidelines and practices streaming platforms follow in the US and whether they are involved in streaming censorship of streaming content, which goes beyond the decisions as to what is to stream on their platform in the first place.

Ryan Reynolds is superhero royalty nowadays. His name is synonymous with the Merc with a Mouth and it’s hard to imagine any other actor playing Wade Wilson. 2016’s Deadpool was the second highest grossing R-rated movie of all time after Mel Gibson’s The Passion. We can surmise from that that Deadpool is right after Jesus in terms of fan base. He followed it up with Deadpool 2, which was just as big a success as the original. Outside of Deadpool, he has proven he has incredible range as an actor. He has starred in everything from dark indies to sitcoms. Despite Wade Wilson suggesting that Ryan Reynolds is famous because he’s so attractive instead of his “superior acting technique,” he is a pretty incredible actor, so we thought we'd share 32 fascinating facts on Ryan Reynolds.

Laugh tracks have been attached to sitcoms since the dawn of the genre. I Love Lucy, the TV show that was so popular that it jump-started the trend of every American family owning a TV set, had a live audience at every taping. From Cheers to Friends to The Big Bang Theory, the laugh track has become as much a part of American culture as the sitcom itself. Let’s be clear, I am in no way suggesting we should remove the laugh track from sitcom classics. However, I do believe that new shows should reconsider putting in a laugh track. Sitcoms without disembodied voices telling us when to laugh have started popping up in this new millennia and now, laugh tracks are going in the way of the VHS, Windows 95 and the Success Kid meme. They had their time, but now they’re obsolete.

She was one half of the sweetest power couples in sitcom history. According to this Yahoo Entertainment article, John Krasinski said that as soon as she entered the room, he knew Jenna Fischer was the perfect actress to play the role of America’s sweetheart, for what would become nine seasons. I know they’re fictional but if you don’t think Jim and Pam were meant to be together from the very first episode of The Office then you should go to a cardiologist because I’m fairly certain not having a heart is a serious medical condition. Jenna Fischer made America laugh, cry, and cringe as the lovable Pam Beasley. But did you know it took her years and years to even get a paying role in Hollywood? And what’s she up to now? Welcome, class, to Jenna Fischer 101. Today we will be discussing just how epic America’s sweetheart is.

In 2014 there was The Fault in our Stars, the romantic drama that had everyone leaving the theater in tears. Now, enter Dil Bechara, the Bollywood adaptation of the novel by John Green. Dil Bechara, or the Helpless Heart, stars Sanjana Sanghi and the late Sushant Singh Rajput as two lovers who make their way to each other during difficult times. Directed by Mukesh Chhabra, the movie follows Kizie Basu, played by Sanjana, a college student who dreams of meeting her favorite musician, and Immanuel Rajkumar Junior (aka Manny), played by the late Sushant. What makes this already tragic film an even more tragic watch is the fact that the leading man Sushant passed away before the release of the film, at 34 years of age, from suspected suicide/suspected murder in mid-June.

Yet, Oliver always manages to make his show not just funny but laugh out loud hysterical. Whether he’s talking about net neutrality, local sheriffs, or doghouse foreclosures, he always manages to make every segment not only bearable but must-watch TV.

When we think of Hollywood’s sweethearts, we create a certain standard for women in media. On-screen women must be sweet, loving, iconic, witty, acclaimed, beautiful, all while having name recognition. Allison Janney challenges the notion of a sweetheart by fitting the criteria and always taking roles a step further. Instead of sweetheart characters, Janney gives us real women with ambition and motivation. Janney’s characters often laugh instead of giggle, curse instead of shriek, and talk with their mouths full.

As much as directors may want to change things up in the casting department with each new film, there is seemingly always one or a handful of actors that the director discovers meshes especially well with their cinematic styles and visions. That willingness to use the same gifted actors time and time again has produced some of the greatest duos (or trio in one specific case) in modern cinema. As great as diverse role casting is, we just can’t help getting more excited when a bonafide film couple returns to the big screen together for yet another smash success. There are a handful of duos that come to mind, but, to me at least, six truly stand head and shoulders above the rest. Join us as we share our seven favorite dynamic duos in cinema history.

When it comes to influencing, not many hold a candle to iconic film stars. Many of the great Black leaders, both men and women, in the industry have used their platform to speak on a worldwide issue: race and Black Lives Matter. Over the last five years or so, some unique ideas and perspectives have been brought up on the topic. And in an unbiased and objective manner, I thought a look at these perspectives would be good for all. Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Viola Davis, Regina King and Will Smith have been vocal and unashamed in their willingness to be agents of change, each in a different way. There are many other Black leaders in the entertainment industry, but today we focus on them specifically.

The Simpsons just passed its 30th birthday this past December. The Simpsons has been a cultural landmark since before it was even its own show, when the first Simpsons shorts debuted on The Tracy Ullman Show starting in 1987. The shorts became such a phenomenon that they got their own half hour long show two years later. The Simpsons is the longest running sitcom in TV history. Having been on for three decades, the writers are bound to get a few things right, but the amount of events that The Simpsons has predicted correctly makes me think that one of the requirements to get into the writers’ room is a degree in futurism. It is straight up freaky how many predictions the show has gotten correct.

Some actors have difficulty slipping in and out of different roles, and risk being typecast as one specific character over and over again. Samuel L. Jackson, an actor for more than forty years, certainly doesn't have this problem. A consummate professional with natural talent, Jackson has flawlessly switched between various roles throughout his long career. From the intergalactic politics of Star Wars to the gritty legal drama A Time to Kill, Jackson appears at home in any setting. Still, there are some consistent tools that he brings to the table for every role: style, intensity, and warmth. Jackson has appeared in lead roles in huge blockbuster films, including Star Wars, Jurassic Park and The Avengers. However, it is his smaller and more intimate roles that allow him to really show off his flawless acting chops and his uncanny ability to play off of other actors’ energy

For the past couple of years, LGBTQ+ stories and culture has made it into mainstream media with hits like Moonlight, Call Me By Your Name, and Love, Simon, but there is still quite a bit of room for the industry to grow. According to GLAAD’s yearly “Where We Are on TV” report, individuals in the LGBTQ+ community make up around 10% of series regulars in shows made in the 2019 season. Love, Simon was the first movie led by a gay character made by a major studio. Further, LGBT parts are still being given to straight actors. There is a change that must happen in order to share the stories of a huge, diverse community of people.

Hollywood narratives have been pedaling a common formula of toxic masculinity for decades now. To combat this reductive form of masculinity, a healthier, more sensitive image of manhood sometimes manages to grab the spotlight. This open and compassionate form of masculinity can be found in icons of Hollywood, like Mr. Rogers and Bob Ross. A masculinity that is less rigid and more sensitive pushes against the more-repressive toxic masculinity. Join us as we examine both regressive and progressive forms of masculinity in entertainment.

A major name in the LGBTQ community is Marsha P. Johnson, but what exactly did she do? The better question to ask is what didn't she do! Marsha P. Johnson was an African-American transgender woman, who was a prominent figure of the 1960s and 1970s and best known for her activism at the Stonewall protests. Marsha was a trans-rights activist who was very active in the LGBTQ community, and as Black Lives Matter protests continue on strong, the world is remembering Marsha for her amazing work in the gay community, and how she shaped the movement in those crucial years.

Heath Ledger was a man on a mission. Bigger than life itself to the point where the world was no longer grand enough to contain him, Ledger’s absence continues to leave a black hole in our everyday reality. A hole once filled with joy and creativity. A soul always prepared for whatever exciting event took place. If life was happening, Heath would be there. I cannot say with enough words the pain that Ledger’s death caused. Pain brought upon those closest to him, to fans worldwide, and all the way to a young eight-year-old in upstate New York shocked that his idol had been taken from him. That loss never took away the sheer impact and legacy Ledger had already created in an astounding ten years in Hollywood. A legacy that we remember again. Let us go back on the mission Ledger generously brought us on, one filled with wonder and brimming with artistry rarely seen before.

As a part of Hollywood Insider’s Unsung Heroes series, it is important for us to remember, appreciate and praise those heroes that are often forgotten. In 1955, a young black woman refused to give up her seat on the bus to accommodate a white woman and in the process jumpstarted the Montgomery bus boycott. And no, it wasn’t Rosa Parks. Claudette Colvin was the inspiration for Parks’ heroic stand. Yet Parks is the name we are taught in school. Parks became an icon representing the Civil Rights Movement, while Colvin faded into obscurity. Claudette’s March 2nd, 1955 heroic/courageous act is the one that inspired Rosa’s December 1, 1955 heroic/courageous act. Rosa is important and so is Claudette.
I dare you to ask others this important question – “Do you know who Claudette Colvin is?” – The Answer will probably be a NO. It’s a shame that little girls don’t usually hear the name Claudette Colvin in schools. Her story is one that proves that young people can make a difference in the world. History is not made without defiance and too often kids are told that they don’t have a voice. Colvin reminded us that change needs to be made now and who better to point it out than the people who will inhabit the future. Colvin retells the story, “That was worse than stealing, you know, talking back to a white person.”

The Black Lives Matter movement is committed to fighting back against police brutality and the wrongful death of Black people at the hands of law enforcement. The latest such event that has dominated national headlines is the death of George Floyd, a Black man from Minneapolis who was killed during an arrest. George Floyd is only the latest in a long line of Black men and women killed during interactions with law enforcement. The abuse and death of Black people such as Rodney King, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain, and Eric Garner have sparked protests in the past, with these key figures representing the Black community as a whole. The Black Lives Matter movement, which is currently sweeping the world to demand change and reform, shows no signs of slowing down.
However, it is not only the victims of police violence that can elicit change. The loved ones that these victims leave behind also have the power to make a difference. For example, the mothers of some of the victims of police brutality have stood up to speak out against the system that killed their children. Everyone has a mother, and these mothers have drawn the strength to not only continue on after the loss of their children, but to help change the world for future generations. Thus, instead of just reacting to the pain, these powerful mothers are transmuting their pain as catalysts for change.

Major actor exits and show exits with it. It seems like a rather obvious statement that a show can’t recuperate after losing something as integral to its identity as the main actor/character.

No one actor brings more excitement from both audiences and critics alike than the once in a lifetime Leo DiCaprio. You cannot deny it. Unlike many actors who’ve appeared in blockbuster franchises or series, DiCaprio has been noted for never appearing in such types of films in order to attain success, instead relying on his acting chops through riskier independent films.

Modern parents have a lot to worry about: if their kids are going to grow up in a safe world. Although we can’t give today’s children reassurance that the future will be brighter or safer, we can give them some awesome TV shows to watch while the world is uncertain of many things. All of us will proudly claim that our generation had the best shows to watch as kids. 80s kids had Inspector Gadget, 90s kids had Rocko’s Modern Life, and 2000’s kids had SpongeBob. I’m not here to argue that any one decade of kid’s TV was best. However, in the 2010 era of kids’ TV there was a change in the way kids’ TV operated. Suddenly, more complex and rich storylines started appearing in kids’ TV. While, in the past, most children’s programming tended to stay away from more emotionally driven plotlines and aimed more to entertain than to get the youngins thinking and relating to character, now the shows trust that their audiences can handle richer storylines and still entertain.

Benedict Cumberbatch is a force to be reckoned with. Not just because his cheekbones can cut a diamond or because he has the most British name conceivable by humans, apparently, he acts as well. Cumberbatch is most famous for his role as Doctor Strange in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and Sherlock Holmes in… well, Sherlock. I’ve been following Cumberbatch’s work as well as his cheekbones since I became obsessed with Sherlock in my Freshman year of college. It was a long spiral down a rabbit hole from there as I began to catch up on all the Cumberbatch work I missed in my younger and more vulnerable years ‘Before Cumberbatch Engrossment’ (BCE for short).
