“Locations is like working in an escape room. You have a riddle or problem that you have to solve and a limited amount of time to do it. But you always figure out a way out,” says Jonathan Jansen, supervising location manager of HBO’s “Barry.” Finding the right locations can require a lot of leg
The National’s headlining show at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Friday felt like the culmination of a 20-plus-year grassroots campaign of devotees growing the base one person at a time. After all, nothing about the Brooklyn-by-way-of-Ohio quintet is radio-friendly: Frontman Matt Berninger sings brooding tales about shattered relationships and the creep of death in
“The Great” costume designer Sharon Long faced one of her biggest challenges in the show’s third season: Creating outfits that would work as well underwater as they would on land. And among those, one in particular stood out. “The swimsuit,” Long says, referring to the outfit worn by Belinda Bromilow in the eighth episode, titled
From a widowed therapist getting patients off the couch in “Shrinking” to a chef going all-in on his work after a family death in “The Bear,” to unlikely friendships helping people heal in “Dead to Me” and “Only Murders in the Building,” grief and loss loom over most of this season’s Emmycomedy contenders. Grieving’s painful
This is the year of firsts. For the first time, the game show trophy will be awarded as part of the Primetime Emmys ceremony (which has been delayed to January), instead of the Daytime Emmys. Additionally, it’s the first time in many years that a new show has broken into the game show category. In
From the majestic-but-aged environs inhabited by the British royals Netflix’s in “The Crown” and the decadent sun-drenched luxury of the San Domenico Palace resort in Taormina, Sicily, in HBO’s “The White Lotus” to the foreboding Ontario wilderness where a girls’ soccer team is stranded in Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” the locations used in this year’s Emmy-nominated dramas
The last time filmmaker Lana Wilson chronicled the life of a global superstar, she followed Taylor Swift in “Miss Americana,” which opened Sundance in 2020. Three years later, Wilson was back at the Park City festival with another documentary that debuted to a packed theater and rave reviews: “Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields.” Wilson — who
The locations featured in this year’s batch of shows featuring Emmy-nominated actresses can be viewed in simple terms as diorama boxes or proscenium stages. They are settings that help define and confine characters, such as the near-future dystopian Republic of Gilead (portrayed by Toronto) or — as with the Sicilian resort setting for Season 2
Midway through the fourth season of CBS’ “FBI: Most Wanted,” the Fugitive Task Force is in hot pursuit of a reverend who kidnapped two teenagers to perform a ritualistic rebuke of the antichrist.

“Strays” follows in the hallowed tradition of stories of animals separated from their loved ones — from “Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey” to “Finding Nemo” — with a few new twists, and a lot of four-letter words. Even more than offering an uncensored window into the perspective of humankind’s four-legged pals, director Josh Greenbaum and

After four weekends of pink, the box office is going blue. Despite a muted opening, DC Studios’ “Blue Beetle” looks to dethrone fellow Warner Bros. release “Barbie” after the hot-pink comedy spent nearly a month atop domestic charts.

Elon Musk set off a firestorm Friday by announcing that Twitter, now called X, would “delete” the service’s longstanding user-blocking feature — raising the prospect that, as a result, the app could be booted from Apple and Google’s app stores. “Block is going to be deleted as a ‘feature’, except for DMs,” Musk wrote. “Makes
The term “coming of age” is misleading, implying “age” is some far-off looming entity that you can see approaching and prepare for accordingly. Really, growing up is experienced in milestones you seldom even notice until they’re long in the rearview and you’re busy being disappointed by how un-green the grass of adulthood really is. Bosnian
On the final weekend of a bustling 18-day event, the in-person edition of this year’s Melbourne Film Festival has drawn to a close with an awards ceremony that saw a whopping $300,000 AUD (over $191,000 USD) in prize money handed out across six categories. The biggest individual award of $140,000 AUD (nearly $90,000 USD) was
Receiving a lifetime achievement award this week at the Sarajevo Film Festival, Scottish director Lynne Ramsay teased a slew of projects currently in the pipeline, heralding her much-anticipated return to the director’s chair since wowing Cannes in 2017 with the Joaquin Phoenix-starring thriller “You Were Never Really Here.” Among them are a second collaboration with
The private-equity firm that owns MindGeek — which operates a massive network of adult entertainment properties, including Pornhub — has shed the company’s old name and, it hopes, some of the baggage that came with it. “The decision to rebrand the company as Aylo comes in response to the need for a fresh start and

KABC-TV chief meteorologist Dallas Raines has been at ABC’s flagship Los Angeles station since 1984, so you’d think he’s seen everything he could ever see when it comes to Southern California weather. But Hurricane Hilary is a first, even for him, and he’s ready for it. “It’s really a crazy situation,” he tells Variety. “This
“Abbott Elementary” garnered a lot of comparisons to “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation” when it debuted in 2021, and for a good reason.
