Ms. Pat could never be June Cleaver. Nor does she have to be. That point is made in the very first episode of The Ms. Pat Show’s recently released eight-episode fourth season. During her signature stand-up routine kicking off each episode of the BET+ series (the comedy is based on its star’s stand-up material), Patricia “Ms. Pat” Williams offers poignant and biting commentary on television’s yesteryear.
Styled from head to toe in the look of the time, punctuated by a circle skirt, the episode fades to black and white as the fictional Ms. Pat and her TV family — sons Brandon (Vince Swann) and Junebug (Theodore Barnes), daughters Janelle (Briyana Guadalupe) and Ashley (Brittany Inge), husband Terry (J. Bernard Calloway), and sister Denise (Tami Roman) — try to adapt to that era. But as both pregnancy and race, two topics Leave It to Beaver and its ilk never addressed,...

"Hey, stick with me, you'll be fine..." "You know where you're going, right??" Rialto Distr. in New Zealand has revealed an official trailer for a fun comedy titled Bookworm, an adventure movie from New Zealand. This will open in Nz in August, but doesn't have any other release dates internationally set anywhere else yet. Keep an eye out for it eventually anyway. Eleven year old Mildred's world is turned upside-down when her estranged father, the washed-up magician Strawn Wise, comes to look after her and agrees to take her camping to find a mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther. Elijah Wood stars as her kooky absent dad who returns home to her in New Zealand, with Nell Fisher as Mildred, and a small indie cast including Morgana O’Reilly, Michael Smiley, & Vanessa Stacey. Plus the beautiful Nz wilderness as a character and the backdrop. It's impossible not to compare...

“American Horror Story” creator Ryan Murphy and frequent “AHS” star Sarah Paulson reunited back in 2020 for Netflix’s “Ratched,” an 8-episode series telling the origin story of iconic One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest villain Nurse Mildred Ratched. The series invited us to “meet the woman before the monster,” and the original plan was for a two season storyline.
Those plans have changed, however. As reported by Deadline, Sarah Paulson has confirmed this week that there will not be a second season of Netflix’s “Ratched” after all.
Two seasons of “Ratched” had originally been ordered up back in 2017.
Here’s the plot synopsis for the first season, which is streaming on Netflix…

The dust still hasn’t settled on the 96th annual Academy Award nominations due to the uproar over the “Barbie” snubs for Best Actress for Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig for Best Director. They still earned Oscar nominations for the cultural phenomena that was the No. 1 film of 2023 with an international box office of $1.4 billion. Robbie and Gerwig received noms as producer for the Best Picture nominee and Gerwig also was garnered a nomination for co-writing the adapted screenplay. But the film is about female empowerment, so it’s beyond ironic it was Ken (Ryan Gosling), not Barbie, who received Oscar recognition.
Gosling wasn’t happy: “Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees.”

Patrick Schwarzenegger turned 30, and what better way to celebrate one’s third decade on earth than dinner with the whole family?
Patrick was joined at his intimate birthday dinner by his parents, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, siblings Katherine, Christina and Christopher, and Katherine’s husband, Guardian of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt.
In addition to the dinner, another birthday celebration was held, but this time with his girlfriend of five years, Abby Champion, and friends. A group picture Patrick posted on social media showed Taylor Lautner and his wife, Taylor Dome, as guests.
“Dirty 30s as they say?? Dunno where time has gone. To another 30 ,” Patrick wrote in his caption.
Patrick’s social media followers were quick to point out, though, that his half-brother, Joseph Baena, was not in the group picture.
“Maybe a push but how cool will it be if they include their step [brother],” one user commented.

Spoilers for "Futurama" season 11 follow.
The latest "Futurama" episode, "I Know What You Did Next Xmas," joins the canon of previous holiday episodes — "Xmas Story," "A Tale of Two Santas," and "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular." Indeed, it is Xmas season (as the December holiday is exclusively known in the 31st century), and as usual for Planet Express, this Yuletide isn't about good tidings and cheer. They have to dodge the wrath of Robot Santa (John Dimaggio), who kills those he deems naughty. Namely, everyone except Dr. Zoidberg (sometimes).
However, "I Know What You Did Next Xmas" is also this revival season's first episode about time travel. "Futurama" uses this concept only sparingly; it took 50 episodes before they first did so in "Roswell That Ends Well." To get to the future, 20th-century everyman Fry (Billy West) had to take the long (cryogenic) path. It's not surprising then that "I Know What...

Painkiller is a drama miniseries created by Micah Fitzerman-Blue. The Netflix series is based on Patrick Radden Keefe‘s New Yorker article “The Family That Built an Empire of Pain” and Pain Killer: An Empire of Deceit and the Origin of America’s Opioid Epidemic by Barry Meier. Painkiller tells the origin story of the opioid crisis mainly through Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin. So, if you liked Painkiller here are some more dramatic shows you could watch next.

Evil Dead Rise actress Nell Fisher and Bad Sisters actor Michael Smiley are set to join Elijah Wood in Bookworm, a new family adventure comedy from New Zealand director Ant Timpson (Come to Daddy).
Fisher will play Mildred, a 12-year-old girl whose life is turned upside down when her estranged, washed-up American magician father, Strawn Wise (Wood), comes to look after her. Hoping to bond with the tween, Strawn takes Mildred on an ill-advised camping trip into the rugged New Zealand wilderness in a quest to find the mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther, named after the region on New Zealand’s South Island.
The project will reteam Wood with Come to Daddy director Timpson and will see the Lord of the Rings actor return to New Zealand to shoot.
