Crazy Ex-Girlfriend I Am Ashamed Season 4 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Crazy Ex-Girlfriend I Am Ashamed Season 4 Episode 2 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Boo! Halloween greetings from the scariest place of all: Rebecca’s past. This spooky, silly outing was a fun departure that reminded me of the show’s first season, when there was more time for themed episodes and letting the cast chill out together.

To help create the backwoods Louisiana noir of HBO’s True Detective, season-one director Cary Fukunaga recruited Alex DiGerlando, the production designer behind the haunting half-sunken bayou depicted in Beasts of the Southern Wild. Fukunaga had previously worked on a short film made by Beasts director Behn Zeitlin that was also set in a southern Delta community in the aftermath of a flood. Vulture spoke with DiGerlando about how he pulled off the detective drama’s haunting atmosphere, and asked him to walk us through behind-the-scenes photos of 13 exceptional props and set pieces.

Removing the sentimental nostalgia connected with the classics (Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King; pick your poison) is nearly impossible, and when you do manage to watch these movies objectively, the results can be disappointing. But on the occasion of the latest muscle-driven, super-veiny adaptation of Hercules, I am supremely, objectively confident that I’d rather be watching a sequel to the 1997 Disney film — the Hercules with the tiny head atop a giant neck, the maybe-mullet, and the pronounced chin that could only be drawn by a team of animators.

All is right in the world: RuPaul’s Drag Race is returning for season 16 in January, on MTV, once again with 90-minute episodes. After season 15 experimented with cutting runtimes to 60 minutes, much to fans’ dismay, we won’t have to miss out on a minute of Drag Race again. And it doesn’t sound like a cast you’ll want to miss. Season 16’s queens include a singer with a six-octave range, a dancer for Bad Bunny and Maluma, and a queen with a BFA in musical theater.

It’s been a big week for Carmela Soprano fans. On Thursday, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Edie Falco will play another Hillary Clinton in the next installment of Ryan Murphy’s anthology crime series, Impeachment: American Crime Story. Yes the Emmy-winning actress will be portraying another long-suffering, blonde wife as ’90s-era First Lady Hillary Clinton in the midst of husband Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial. Falco joins a stacked cast that includes Clive Owen as President Clinton, Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford as Paula Jones, Betty Gilpin as Ann Coulter, Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp, and Beanie Feldstein as Monica Lewinsky.

Elsbeth Something Blue Season 1 Episode 7 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Elsbeth Something Blue Season 1 Episode 7 Editor’s Rating 4 stars **** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » The two most important takeaways for viewers of “Something Blue” are that perfectionism probably isn’t worth it and more episodes of all sorts of TV series should incorporate dance numbers.

Kyle MacLachlan, a noted national treasure with an outstanding social-media presence, knocked all of our socks off with Twin Peaks: The Return this summer. (Emmys 2018, baby!) It was outstanding, he effortlessly portrayed four characters, blah blah blah — but he also had to engage in a somewhat weird moment for the sake of the craft: Do a sex scene with an ex-girlfriend. And that ex was none other than Laura Dern.

Joel and Ethan Coen’s new film, Hail, Caesar!, finally opened this week, propelled by many of the hallmarks of their filmography: Comically dim characters engaging in a variety of conspiracies and double-crosses against the background of a meticulously re-created and reimagined world (in this case, Hollywood in the 1950s). Funny thing about the Coens: They are two of the most original filmmakers American cinema has given us, and yet they consistently stress the same motifs and themes throughout their works.

In the early days of this decade, it was unclear if the DIY web series that populated YouTube and Vimeo could ever make the jump to TV. Now, the sustained success of shows like Insecure, Broad City, and Drunk History has proven to TV execs that the internet is its own talent pool waiting to be noticed, and that a little bit of industry support can go a long way.
