  • The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Recap: It’s Making Me Uncomfy

    [ad_1]

    How many things does it take to make a trend again? Three? I’ve decided that for now, two is close enough, because I’m certain it’s happened more times and I just missed it. What I’m referring to is MomTok’s tendency to wear garments that are basically like “FUCK MEN” while also dating men and living their lives fully immersed in an oppressively patriarchal culture. Earlier this season, Layla wore an “I SUPPORT A MAN’S RIGHT TO SHUT THE FUCK UP” hat. And in this episode, Jessi sits in the car with her emotionally abusive husband while wearing a tank top covered with “BOYS LIE” patches and appliques. It feels like a “girls only, no boys allowed” sign on a bedroom door. Except these are grown women. So are these sartorial choices a safer way to express feelings without having to face the consequences of, I don’t know, telling a man to actually fuck off? Are they a baby step on the road to a more productive and life-enriching feminism? Or are these just brand deals and I’m reading too much into it?

    Boys do lie, though, especially when they’re named Dakota. Jessi pledges to tell Taylor about Dakota sexting Taylor’s “almost family member” if he doesn’t do it himself. And so far, he has not. He and Taylor chill in bed, looking at all their Stagecoach pictures. She’s so glad they’re all getting along and even tells him she’ll always love him. You can already see exactly how this will be edited for an intro supercut for The Bachelorette.

    I’m getting ahead of myself, though. It must be hard for the moms to keep all these timelines straight, especially with multiple seasons being filmed and aired in rapid succession. For instance, they just filmed the season-two reunion, where they could only talk about what happened months ago, but in “real time,” they’re living out a totally different mess in public and online, much of which could spoil season two — and this is all occurring toward the end of season three. It hurts my head!

    After having to film with Nick Viall, Whitney and Conner take their kids to the park to blow off some steam. They talk about how shocked they were to see the receipts on display, specifically Demi’s messages to Marciano and her recorded conversation with Jen, where she provides Jen a detailed script and acting coaching. To me, that recording will always say more about Demi’s character and motivations than any other receipt we have seen as of yet. It’s so transparently manipulative! In light of all this new information, Whitney feels she needs to talk to Demi to better understand the whole situation.

    But before that can happen, we must tease MomTok’s new “LGBTQ allies!” core brand tenet. Mayci is buying apples at the grocery store because Jacob says she eats too much Del Taco. In the middle of the produce aisle, they discuss Jacob’s gay cousin and how Mayci and Jacob aren’t like other Mormons. So MomTok will host a pride event to show they’re allies to the community, especially in light of Utah’s shitty House Bill 77.

    In what feels like a slightly more authentic conversation, Jen meets up with DWTS pro, Ezra. Like Jen, he is also Hispanic, from Utah, and grew up Mormon. Unlike Jen, he is gay, and when his parents found this out, they pulled him out of dance. He eventually left Utah and the church, and stopped talking to his parents. Then later, his whole family left the church and now his mom has a pride tattoo. After telling this whole story, Ezra says to Jen, “God doesn’t give you something you can’t handle … wanna film a TikTok?” Impeccable stuff. Any underperforming MomTok members should be ready for an elimination vote at the next board meeting because Ezra is here and ready to PERFORM. He’s fun and raw and living out most, if not all, of the MomTok brand tenets. Who cares if he’s not a mom? Many of the best Real Housewives aren’t wives. Semantics!

    Anyway, it’s time for Whitney to sit down with Demi to get to the bottom of what Demi really meant by “eggplant, water, clam” emojis, among other post-reunion pressing questions. Demi has answers for everything. Flirty texts? It’s how she talks to all her friends. Her pet name for Marciano? A “funny prank” her daughter made up. Marciano FaceTiming her daughter in the first place? An accident. Talking to Marciano if he’s her abuser? A trauma response and also a plan to prevent the sexual assault from “coming out.” Any other questions? Bret knows everything.

    Whitney returns to the hotel after hearing Demi out and immediately reports everything to Conner, as it’s not adding up for her. He points out that Bret wanting to order DoorDash food to his wife’s abuser is “odd” (a very diplomatic way to put it!), then goes on to say if Whitney came home and reported she was assaulted, he’d do everything in his power to keep this person away from both her and their kids. Whitney ultimately thinks Demi is not being 100 percent honest with her, and also likely not being honest with herself. Conner ultimately wants to err on the side of believing the person who said they were inappropriately touched but the story isn’t adding up. If you’d have told me during season one that these two would have the most measured and mature response to really anything, I’d have done a hearty chortle. But my favorite part of being a reality television fan is being proven incorrect! People are complicated.

    Back in Utah, the Swig sponsored beverages are flowing at the MomTok pride event. Taylor eats funeral potatoes while Jessi feels sick to her stomach knowing Dakota is there doing bumps of caviar and wooing his baby momma back. Everyone, including the podcast bozos who busted their way onto the guest list, is well behaved. Mayci pops over to Joseph (Jacob’s cousin) and is all like, “I [production] was JUST wondering: was it hard to come out to your family?” Mayci compares his coming out journey to her telling her parents she was pregnant out of wedlock while at BYU. Mikayla asks about any changes at BYU with the pride flag law as if BYU was flying pride flags in the first place. When Mayci and Jacob get home, they plant a pride flag in their yard because MomTok needs to use their platform for good and be more active allies for the LGBTQ community. Okay, so … y’all are going to be supporting progressive candidates and measures up and down the ballot from here on out, then, right? RIGHT?!

    Earlier in the episode, Jace and Mikayla went to a couples therapy session. It’s the same therapist who tried to refer Mikayla to a sex therapist, so I assume it’s an interim situation. They rehashed their struggles around vulnerability and disparate sex drives. Jace was concerned Mikayla wouldn’t have the motivation to work through this stuff, but the therapist reminded them that building a better relationship as an example for their kids could be a powerful motivator. This seems to work. While discussing their birth plan, Mikayla tells Jace for the first time that her abuse started even earlier than at 15 — that there were other instances when she was six, but she felt like she had to protect her abuser. Jace’s heart hurts so bad (same!) and he says his job is to create the first safe space for her. If Jace ends up taking an evil (or even just classic shitty man on this show) turn, so help me god.

    Speaking of classic shitty men on this show, Taylor learns about Dakota’s discretions. Her therapist told her she was going to get news of something really hard. Is this normal? I’ve never had a therapist who also acts as an oracle. The therapist tried to get Taylor and Dakota to come in so he could tell her in a controlled setting. This did not happen because Taylor was about to leave for Los Angeles, so Dakota told her immediately about his dalliances with [basically-a-family-member]. I totally get Demi’s daughter’s name being censored out, but a friend of Liann’s mother, who is presumably a grown woman? Surely the TikTok detectives will figure it out soon enough.

    Alas, it’s a mess and Taylor is mad she’s going to have to disassociate while filming Jimmy Kimmel. She had a glimmer of hope last week, and now she has nothing. But soon, she will have no less than five limousines full of suitors vying for her hand. And that’s to say nothing of the most important thing she has: SISTERHOOD.

  • How Taylor Frankie Paul, Once a Mormon Wife, Became a ‘Bachelorette’ With a Not-So-Secret Life

    [ad_1]

    “I sometimes question, have I made any progress?” Taylor Frankie Paul, who in just three short years leapt from being the leader of #MomTok on Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives to the single lead of ABC’s The Bachelorette, asks Vanity Fair. “We’re humans, we make mistakes; and I feel like I do [make] a lot of different mistakes. That’s what life’s about—it’s trial and error. I’m learning different lessons now in this phase of my life.”

    Paul’s latest chapter plays out on season three of the wildly popular Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which reveals that while promoting the show’s second season this spring, Paul privately suffered personal betrayal involving on-again, off-again ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, father of her one-year-old son, Ever True, and a close family friend. When I reach Paul, she’s in the backseat of a moving vehicle, being whisked from one mystery location to another for her turn on The Bachelorette. Paul can’t technically disclose that she’s not near home, but the palm trees peeking through the car’s back windows confirm: we’re not in Utah anymore.

    Since 2022, when Paul, now 31, revealed she was divorcing husband Tate (father of Paul’s daughter Indy and son Ocean, who do not appear on Mormon Wives), after she engaged in “soft swinging” (some heavy petting and emotional affairs, but no “full-on” sex) within their married friend group, she has been filming her life at a near-continuous pace.

    Before sending shockwaves through Utah’s #MomTok community, Paul already shared near-daily snippets of her more buttoned-up Mormon life with what eventually grew to 1.8 million Instagram and 5.8 million TikTok followers. When the first season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered last September, it launched the eight MomTokers, led by the headline-making Paul, to something approaching Housewives-level fame.

    “Sorry if I sound like I’m losing my voice, we’re getting over a little cold,” Paul rasps. The “we” another reminder that as the single mother of three who blew up her life, then made a reality show about it, is far from an obvious pick for ABC’s increasingly staid reality dating series—but more on that adventure later.

  • The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season-Premiere Recap: Two Kisses, That’s It

    [ad_1]

    That the premiere revolves around Cialis-induced semen found in some barely famous bro’s underpants is a sign that MomTok has never been weaker.
    Photo: Fred Hayes/Disney

    The time has come to convene an emergency meeting of the MomTok board of directors. Never in the storied history of MomTok have the core brand values been this desecrated. Female empowerment is at an all-time low.

    Brand-health alarms should have gone off when the first words of this season were spoken by Nick Viall and cranked even louder the first (or even the fourth) time Jordan used the word “emasculating.” Maybe if all MomTok members past and present united, they could have prevented the premiere’s main character from becoming the Cialis-induced, blackout-produced semen found in some barely famous bro’s underpants.

    But MomTok has been running on a skeleton crew stretched to their limits, attending influencer events and feeding the algorithm. So here we are. But I have faith the ladies will turn it around as long as they don’t appoint Taylor’s mom as interim CMO. Faith is very important to the MomTok brand. It is also important to me, because I believe in the power and resiliency of Emmy-nominated reality-television franchises the same way people from Wisconsin believe in the Green Bay Packers.

    After a glorious reveal of the updated intro theme — now with more horny fire! — we kick things off in Provo at Taylor’s house. Dakota swings by to pick up Ever because he’ll be watching him while Taylor attends a two-week therapy retreat. Hoping we get more details on this because I’m dying to know the amenities and practices on the menu. “Therapy retreat” could mean “repeatedly doing ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon,” or “checking into an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab,” or “sitting silently in a meditation center.” It could also mean “doing a lot of yoga and trauma-informed talk therapy with some nice scenery,” and this is most likely the case. Separately, what a joy to enter this season knowing Taylor and Dakota theoretically do not end up together. A brief respite for all involved!

    On the other end of the spectrum, we have the Minky Couture influencer event. Minky Couture makes blankets, and we do not need to get into how blankets can be “couture” because I have learned that living in Utah requires a willingness to suspend disbelief. Mikayla and Mayci walk us through the state of MomTok. It’s bad. Taylor and Jen are both on a mental-health break. Miranda is TBD. Demi left MomTok during that ultimatum last season. Whitney left MomTok (again) because she didn’t get the Oscars tickets and scripted-series role she wanted during contract negotiations. If you think this means we will be free of Whitney and Demi this season, sorry! Remember: MomTok is always a clique, usually a brand, and never an accurate cast list.

    Anyway, the remaining MomTok members, Layla and Jessi, have a rendezvous in the parking lot of the Minky Couture event. Layla is pressed to tell Jessi what she learned when the producers set up that little meet and greet with Marciano from Vanderpump Villa. Jessi comes clean immediately and lays out facts she will repeat on loop throughout this episode: (1) Jessi and Jordan have been struggling and separated in September; (2) Jessi was drinking in Los Angeles and kissed Marciano twice; (3) Jessi and Marciano had an emotional affair, texting for two weeks after; and (4) Jessi told Jordan everything right away, and they’ve worked through it.

    Jessi freaks upon learning that Marciano told Layla they also had sex, which she insists is false. So, naturally, Layla calls him on speaker. He reports live from the gym that he remembers — and I think the exact quote is important here — “I took a Cialis … I had cum stains in my shorts, but okay, whatever you say.” Correlation does not imply causation, my guy! Marciano’s details feel like the equivalent of saying “I took a Dramamine … I didn’t throw up” to imply that one survived a particularly turbulent Disney cruise. Whether he’s lying or not, Jessi calls Jordan right away, and he says that if she brings the cameras home, he’s done with the show.

    But those contracts are ironclad! The very next morning, the cameras are up and at ’em at the Ngatikaura household. Jessi and Jordan “discussed it more” and “agreed” to share this story (own the narrative). Jordan says he feels broken, asking himself if he can live with “lingering disrespect and emasculating feelings.” Jessi thinks it’ll be healing that Jordan can get comfort from his friends and family now that this is out, but she’s nervous to tell MomTok because it’s yet another scandal, and they’ve been trying to get away from all that. I, for one, think this is perfectly aligned with the true consumer perception of MomTok (scandal!), even if it does not match what appears in the MomTok brand guidelines.

    Jordan invites Dakota over for some guy time since he’s the only one Jordan knows who’s dealt with this level of relationship struggle in public. Jordan says it’ll be hard to explain it to his oldest daughter and that it’s “super emasculating.” Dakota hugs Jordan and advises him to pray to a higher power of his choosing and focus on his family since everything else is outside of his control. I’m tempted to make a joke about these two bozos solving the male-loneliness crisis, but I find it genuinely endearing that Dakota is whipping out his recovery toolbox to help out a friend going through it.

    Those feelings left my body immediately once Zac showed up on the screen. He and Jen are living in Arizona, focusing on their marriage and doing a lot of therapy. Fresh from a session, Jen explains how everyone knows about postpartum depression, but not prenatal depression, which was what she was experiencing last season. They’ll be driving back to Utah in a few weeks to have their new baby there. Jen is stressed because she has some tough conversations ahead, including making amends with Jessi for saying her husband has a small weiner. Oh, no, not more fuel for Jordan’s “emasculation” fire. I do not like where this could be heading.

    Back in Utah, Jessi has Mayci and Mikayla over to detail the Marciano sitch. She gives her whole spiel and adds further information about how Marciano blacked out and fell asleep on her bed while she was up all night panicking about the consequences of her (presumably intercourse-free) actions. Even though Jessi reminds them that horny guys get pre-cum in their undies on the regular, especially while on drugs, Mayci and Mikayla are skeptical after leaving. They think something feels off. What feels off to me is Mayci making a joke about how “these things happen” when you drink alcohol, and how Jessi shouldn’t have left the church.

    At Layla’s birthday dinner, the girls discover that a mole among their dwindling ranks has been sneaking information to Demi. Their tip-off was Bret doing drive-bys while Mayci and Mikayla were at Jessi’s, and Demi texting them right after to gossip. Jessi thinks Layla and Miranda are the two most likely suspects. Layla offers to show her phone logs as proof of her innocence. Miranda doesn’t even know what planet she’s on. Whatever Miranda’s reps negotiated contract-wise, good on them. She puts on cute little outfits, gets full glam done, smiles and nods, then collects her check.

    Once the girls’ dinner transforms into Layla’s full birthday party, things escalate into madness. Harbinger of mess Liann is there because “she had a business event in the area.” Okay, sweetie! Jordan continues yapping about being emasculated and being less of a man for staying with his wife. Chase from the Halloween party shows up to stir the pot. His mere appearance causes a full meltdown for multiple attendees. Not a single soul in attendance is happy to see this man besides Layla. He has a podcast that I will not name here because I refuse to give straight-dude chatcasts free publicity. All you need to know is that he regularly drags MomTok and its members.

    On one hand, if Layla wanted to bone this man’s brother, surely she could have set up a double date instead of inviting MomTok enemy No. 1 to this contractually obligated event. On the other hand (unless there was some wild producer manipulation), Mayci and Mikayla were given a heads-up at JZ Styles that he was on the guest list. We saw it earlier in the episode. On a third hand, a reminder that this birthday party is to celebrate Layla’s 24th birthday. Twenty-four!

    Jessi tries to resolve the situation between Layla and Mayci/Mikayla, which is what pushes Jordan over the edge. Her getting involved in the drama “makes him feel like he has no value.” He cries in the snow as Dakota pulls up in his Tacoma to ferry him to safety. It’s all a textbook case of how the real villain of this show remains the Mormon church. You take repression and traditional gender roles and an obsession with purity and perception, then smash all of that into the algorithm economy, throw a Cialis into the mix, and we end up in places like this one.

    And it appears we shall embark on many similar journeys this season. We’ve got more secrets! More toxic men! More discussion of the mole! Taylor promising to make someone’s life “a miserable fucking hell” yet again! But MomTok is sisterhood. So everything will be fine. And if it’s not, all the better for the content machine.

  • Kim Kardashian’s Reaction to Terrible All’s Fair Reviews Has People Talking

    [ad_1]

    Kim Kardashian recently took to social media to respond to criticism of the legal drama All’s Fair in hilarious fashion.

    What did Kim Kardashian say about the All’s Fair reviews?

    In a recent post on Instagram, Kardashian shared a collage of photos to promote the ongoing show. In a caption, she told fans to tune in for the “most critically acclaimed show of the year,” and then proceeded to share a number of mixed reviews in a tongue-in-cheek manner.

    While some of Kardashian’s photos were of her in the show, others contained screenshotted images of fans talking about the show. They ranged from positive to more sarcastic reviews of the show, which still praised it, including one that called the show “some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen,” but needing “14 seasons” of it nonetheless.

    All’s Fair comes from creator Ryan Murphy, and follows the story of a successful divorce laywer and owner of an all-female law firm in Los Angeles. Alongside Kardashian, the show also features a star-studded cast, including Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Judith Light, Ed O’Neill, O-T Fagbenle, Armani Barrett, Jamarcus Kilgore, Joshua Suiter, and Hari Nef.

    Despite its star-studded cast, the show has received fairly negative reviews upon its premiere. The series debuted to an almost 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and as of this writing has just a 5% critical score on the site, although the audience rating is high at 67%.

    All’s Fair is available to stream now on Hulu, with three of its nine episodes having already aired.

  • The redesigned Disney+ app is rolling out to more users in the US

    [ad_1]

    Disney is rolling out its redesigned interface for Disney+ to more users in the US today. The redesign brings the streaming service in line with the loud, key art-forward approach of Netflix, and follows a price increase for both tiers of Disney+ that the company introduced in October.

    The biggest change in the new Disney+ is the addition of a horizontal navigation bar with separate tabs for recommendations (For You), Disney+, Hulu and ESPN. Disney is leaning on a new algorithm that better uses your viewing history to make recommendations, and it now also integrates live TV streams via a dedicated tab in its vertical menu. Outside of the US, the new interface is also being paired with the rebranding of Disney’s Star streaming service to Hulu.

    The new interface is the latest step in Disney’s plan to eventually completely fold Hulu into Disney+ in 2026. The Hulu has a dedicated tab in the app, but eventually it’ll just be one of the many sources of content Disney+ collects. Meanwhile, the live TV component of Hulu + Live TV will eventually be merged with Fubo, creating an even larger YouTube TV competitor that Disney will have 70 percent stake in. The growing competition between Google and Disney could be one of several reasons the companies have yet to settle the carriage dispute that’s currently blocked channels like ABC and ESPN on YouTube TV.

  • Like Much of America, the Kardashians Are Nostalgic for 2015

    [ad_1]

    But off set, Kim is focused on protecting her kids—North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm—sharing with viewers that they are becoming increasingly aware of their father Kanye West’s recent erratic behavior—a plot point she soft-launched on Call Her Daddy with Alex Cooper (who is also producing a reality dating series for Hulu). “It’s a divorce, not a kidnapping,” she says on the season’s first episode, of coparenting with West. “We haven’t left. We’re in the same spot. What happened to the house that you bought next door?” West bought a house down the street from Kim’s Hidden Hills estate in 2021, shortly after she filed for divorce. Kim said at the time she suggested that West take the kids to school every day and that they have dinner together as a family nightly, but those plans never panned out. “Maybe that’s too much,” Kim concedes, “but that’s just what I saw from my mom and my stepdad and my dad.”

    By revisiting her past with West, Kim can illuminate the challenges of her present. Back at Eldorado, Kendall and Kylie admit to smoking weed in the backyard, with the elder of the two joking that she lost her virginity in the house. “We’re children number five and six,” says Kendall. “[Kris] just—she has no more energy for us.” But for all the cynicism about the Kardashians returning to their retro rebrand, there is genuine emotion to be gleaned from their trip down memory lane. Later in the episode, Kris captures an intimate moment between Kendall and Kylie as they softly cry on the staircase of their childhood home. “Those were some of the best years,” Kylie tearfully admits.

    Hulu‘s new TV and movie releases for November 3-9, 2025, include All’s Fair and The Manipulated.

    All’s Fair arrives on Hulu on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Co-created by Ryan Murphy, Joe Baken, and Jon Robin Baitz, the series follows a team of female divorce attorneys who previously worked at a male-dominated firm but have since opened their own. The attorneys handle complex cases related to breakups, marriages, divorces, and extramarital affairs, while also handling various issues tied to their personal lives. Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, and Naomi Watts make up the star-studded cast.

    Next, on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, The Manipulated drops on Hulu. This Korean crime drama follows Tae-jung, a mild-mannered man framed for a terrible crime and wrongfully imprisoned. He eventually learns that a man named Yo-han devised his imprisonment and ruined his life. Tae-jung subsequently embarks on a long quest for vengeance against Yo-han, eager to see the latter’s downfall.

    Also dropping on Hulu this week is Sovereign.

    Sovereign is a crime thriller directed by Christian Swegal and starring Nick Offerman and Jacob Tremblay. The story follows Jerry, a struggling single father and ardent follower of the sovereign citizen movement — where laws are considered illusions and freedom is taken.

  • Disney+ begins rolling out HDR10+ support

    [ad_1]

    Disney+ is making its first foray into HDR10+ content, but access to this content will be limited at the start. About 1,000 shows from Hulu will be available with this HDR standard, although other programming under the Disney umbrella will add support at an unspecified later date. Samsung, which is a major player behind this standard for high dynamic range video, announced the news. Disney+ will first offer the HDR10+ content on Samsung Crystal UHD TVs and above for models dating back to 2018, as well as select on Samsung Smart Monitors.

    HDR10+ builds on the HDR10 tech for image quality. It’s an alternative to Dolby Vision, and both technologies offer viewers a wider range of contrast, brightness and colors on a scene-by-scene basis. (Assuming you have a screen that supports it, of course.)

    Netflix announced the addition of HDR10+ support in March, but a handful of platforms have supported the standard for much longer.

  • What to watch this week: The triumphal return of ‘Down Cemetery Road,’ a second season of ‘Hazbin Hotel’ and more

    [ad_1]

    Premieres Wednesday:

    Ballad of a Small Player — Filmmaker Edward Berger (Conclave) casts Colin Farrell as an inveterate gambler and swindler living under an assumed identity in China. The Wall Street Journal called it “a failed attempt to wring laughs out of this abundantly awful man.” That was on page B25, directly opposite a full-page profile of Peter Thiel. (Netflix)

    Down Cemetery Road — Emma Thompson plays a private investigator whose search for a missing girl uncovers a shocking secret: Vast numbers of Britons who were believed dead are secretly still alive and well. “How does a guy get in on that?” asks Keir Starmer. (Apple TV)

    Hazbin Hotel Season 2 — With the forces of Heaven vanquished, Charlie finds her infernal hostelry overrun with new guests who see no need to renounce their evil ways. See, God? This is what happens when you think you’re putting Charlie Kirk somewhere where he can’t do any more damage. (Prime Video)

    Ink Master — The prize is not only $250,000 but recognition for one’s origins in Season 17, which carries the theme “Hometown Heroes.” That’s a significant departure from the previous 16 seasons, the theme of which was “hepatitis.” (Paramount+)

    Selling Sunset — Season 9 adds new realtor Sandra Vergara, who just so happens to be Sofia Vergara’s cousin. And also her adoptive sister. How does that work, you ask? Forget it, Jake, it’s Sunset! (Netflix)

    Star Wars: Visions — Season 3 of the animated anthology hearkens back to Season 1 by once again focusing entirely on anime. I don’t know, do we think that genre is really bankable yet? (Disney+)

    Premieres Thursday:

    Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers — Archival footage and interviews with survivors paint a documentary portrait of the criminal psychopath who made living in Central Florida a waking nightmare in the late 20th century. And here you thought everyone had forgotten Glenda Hood! (Netflix)

    Amsterdam Empire — Famke Janssen takes on the role of a former Europop star who tries to ruin her husband’s cannabis business as revenge for his infidelity. I never thought I’d say this, but J.Lo’s inability to find true and lasting love suddenly seems kind of trivial. (Netflix)

    Hell House LLC: Lineage — The fifth and final installment in the franchise about a cursed haunted attraction is the first one that isn’t based on found footage. Which I’m assuming means it was stolen. (Shudder)

    Juan Gabriel: I Must, I Can, I Will — Four documentary episodes retrace the remarkable career of the flamboyant Mexican balladeer, who became a gay icon despite having fathered six children with three different women. In related news, my strategy of hanging around the Parliament House for four years is due to put me up to my neck in it any minute now. (Netflix)

    Son of a Donkey — The Australian YouTube duo known as Superwog launches a new series that explores the lighter side of modern challenges like road rage, online scams and failing kidneys. It must be nice to live in a country where those are your biggest problems. Some of us would gladly give up a kidney to be that close to Kylie. (Netflix)

    The Witcher Season 4 — The eagerly anticipated penultimate season finds Liam Hemsworth taking over the title role from Henry Cavill. But don’t worry, Henry fans: You’ll be able to see him soon enough, in … oh, I’ll think of something. (Netflix)

    Premieres Friday:

    Bad Influencer — A single mother with a special-needs child to take care of runs afoul of the law when she conscripts an aspiring influencer to help her sell phony handbags. And she might have gotten away with it, if Kim Kardashian hadn’t spotted the unauthorized knockoff of her pubes. (Netflix)

    Breathless — The Joaquín Sorolla Hospital has gone entirely private as Season 2 begins, forcing our already taxed resident physicians to make some tough choices. For example, when they have to tell a cancer patient that insurance won’t cover her treatment, do they do it through the portal or as a Zoom puppet show? (Netflix)

    The White House Effect — Return with us now to the complicated days of Bush 41, when warring factions of the Republican party problematized the administration’s response to climate change. Nowadays, the warring factions are the ones who want to ignore it and the ones who want to ignore it while wearing blackface. (Netflix)

    Premieres Monday:

    Crutch — This spinoff from the CBS series The Neighborhood has Tracy Morgan as a Harlem businessman who’s having to do a lot of recalibrating now that his grown son and daughter have moved back in with him. In the hilarious third episode, the son comes out as gay and Tracy stabs him to death with a kitchen knife. (Paramount+)

    In Waves and War — Follow the healing journey of three Navy SEALs who had to travel overseas to be prescribed psychedelics for their PTSD. Meanwhile, ICE want you to know they’re going to shoot you in the face if you try to charge them for that vanilla latte. (Netflix)

    Premieres Tuesday:

    All’s Fair — And speaking of Kim Kardashian, she’s been cast in the lead role of a divorce attorney in Ryan Murphy’s new legal drama. Supporting parts go to Glenn Close, Naomi Watts and Sarah Paulson, who might be stars themselves someday if they can just get their muffs on Candies. (Hulu)

    Leanne Morgan: Unspeakable Things — Taking a momentary step away from her Netflix sitcom, the Tennessee comedian fills us in on everything that’s been going on in her life, like adjusting to success and trying gummies. As opposed to Pete Davidson, who’s adjusting to gummies and thinking about trying success. (Netflix)

    Squid Game: The Challenge — The spinoff competition show stays married to the bit in Season 2, pitting another 456 contestants against each other in pursuit of $4.56 million. High concept, right? Now give me my two tickets to Tucson, because my flight is boarding at Gate 2 in two minutes. (Netflix)

    Plus a schlock-doc about the racialized 2023 Ocala shooting and the return of ‘Loot’ on Apple TV

  • Is there going to be a ‘Chad Powers’ Season 2? | The Mary Sue

    [ad_1]

    By

    Oct 28th, 2025, 7:00 pm

    glen powell sitting on a couch

    After six episodes of hijinks and prosthetic makeup, the first season of Chad Powers has come to a close. Hulu’s football comedy not only brought Twisters and The Running Man star Glen Powell back to television, but it surprised viewers a lot along the way.

    Of course, now it’s time for the biggest question: will Chad Powers return for a second season? At the time of this writing, Hulu has yet to renew the series… but that doesn’t mean it’s completely out of the question. For one thing, the evolution of when and how successful “ratings” for new shows come in has changed amid the streaming era, so Hulu could end up waiting a beat before making a decision in one way or another.

    There are also the busy schedules of Powell, who has a number of upcoming movies lined up, and co-creator Michael Waldron, who is currently working on the scripts for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

    **spoilers for the Season 1 finale of Chad Powers below!**

    Either way, it sounds like there are intentions to tell more of Chad Powers‘ story. Waldron did argue to The Hollywood Reporter that “you can’t do 150 episodes of this premise,” which makes sense given the natural life cycle of a college football career. Still, as he recently explained to The Mary Sue, there are plenty of narrative possibilities to explore in a second season and beyond.

    “Yeah, I mean I think just on a practical plot level, Ricky’s part of the conspiracy, whether she likes it or not, and what does that do?” Waldron detailed. “Can there be a love story still? And can Russ continue to grow by being Chad and can Chad grow by Russ, by being inhabited by a little more Russ? And can the Catfish win it all? Is Coach gonna die all that, all sorts of stuff and what’s happening with Tricia and Coach Dobbs? Are they hooking up?”

  • Are Reality TV Stars Born, or Can They Be Made? Meet the Coaches Scripting Television’s Best Unscripted Drama

    [ad_1]

    “Take a breath and go ahead,” Robert Galinsky says, eyeing his student from across a Zoom screen. Dylan, a 45-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, dressed in a light blue button-down, exhales and begins to explain for the third time why he wants to search for true love on the Netflix reality-dating series Love Is Blind.

    Dylan says he has prioritized his real estate career over romance, and dating apps have failed to produce lasting love. But when he talks about building a connection sight unseen, or “from the inside out,” as he puts it, Galinsky stops him. “That’s killer—we want to save that phrase,” he says, advising Dylan to shave his three-minute explanation down to a sound-bite-worthy chunk. After all, reality TV narratives are built by producers and editors (he cleverly refers to them as “preditors”) who favor pithy catchphrases.

    Dylan has only made it past the first round of Love Is Blind casting so far, but is already in his third session of 10 with Galinsky, a self-described “presentation coach” who has guided hopeful clients to spots on shows, ranging from Project Runway to Survivor, since 2007. That was when Argentinian dog groomer Jorge Bendersky became the first reality TV hopeful to contact Galinsky, who also coaches TEDx presenters, corporate executives, and students at The Juilliard School (he’s currently advising jazz musicians on how to introduce the historical context of their music before a performance). With Galinsky’s guidance, Bendersky became a top-three finalist on the short-lived Animal Planet series Groomer Has It, and the New York Reality TV School was born.

    Like many of those who have sought Galinsky’s services, ranging from Millionaire Matchmaker and Bad Girls Club alum to Chelsea Clinton and 50 Cent, Dylan wants to put his best foot forward onscreen. Think of it as hiring a private tutor before the SAT—with the knowledge that millions of eyeballs will be watching your exam. (The cost of Galinsky’s one-on-one services for reality TV coaching begins at roughly $300 per session, with rates increasing for more specific training once a client is cast on their desired show.) Galinsky, who has a background in acting, treats reality TV as improvisational theater. During the session that Dylan has allowed me to observe (provided I omit his last name), Galinsky quizzes his client on dating deal-breakers, urging him to use the stating of any potential red flags as an opportunity to accentuate his own strengths. What if, as Galinsky posits, a suitor is turned off by someone who is rude to waitstaff, for instance? Dylan immediately discusses his time as a bartender in college. Galinsky smiles approvingly; in one answer, Dylan has both reassured his future wife and revealed a personal detail that will bolster his overall storyline.

    “Fakes are the first ones kicked out of the house and voted off the island,” Galinsky says. “So if you know thyself, you’re going to be that much more powerful….You have to have an immense amount of self-awareness to be on these shows, to understand how you’re not going to let someone bulldoze you…so that you become the funniest, most pathetic meme that’s out there.” To get a better sense of how he can best orient a client toward reality TV stardom, Galinsky asks them to provide their origin, scar, and aspiration: where they’re from, what shaped them, and their postshow hopes. “A girl [once] walked in and said, ‘I want to be able to live in the Real World house and drink everybody under the table,’” he recalls. “After two sessions she said, ‘I’m quitting the class because I realize now all I really wanted to do was say “fuck you” to my dad by getting drunk in front of everyone.’”

  • Mary Elizabeth Winstead Loves Being a Scream Queen: ‘I’m Honored to Be Called a Queen of Any Kind’

    [ad_1]

    Mary Elizabeth Winstead loves a good scream. “It’s always been something that has come easily for me. I love letting it out. It feels so good. It’s not something I’ve had to work on, but it is something I enjoy,” she tells StyleCaster. 

    Her affinity for screaming makes sense. With more than a dozen horror and thriller movies under her belt, which has affectionately earned her the reputation as one of Hollywood’s most recognizable scream queens, Winstead knows a thing or two about what it’s like to fight for her life. Her newest venture into the genre is Hulu’s The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, a remake of the 1992 thriller of the same name, in which Winstead stars opposite fellow scream queen, Maika Monroe.

    While the film is considered a remake of the 1992 version, the similarities are slim, other than the fact that they both center around two women with a shared past who reunite years later. In The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, Winstead plays Caitlyn Morales, a wife and a mother of two young children who hires Polly Murphy (Monroe), a woman she helped years earlier at her social worker job, as a nanny. All seems well until Caitlyn starts to slowly lose her mind as strange, unexplainable things start to happen within her family. As plot unravels, so does the backstory between Caitlyn and Polly as Caitlyn learns Polly’s true identity and how they really know each other. 

    It’s incredibly cathartic to let it all out and scream and cry and claw and try to survive.

    “I hadn’t seen the original, but I was very aware of what it meant and what that story was about, so I was very curious to see how they were going to update it,” Winstead says. “The idea of playing this mother being terrorized by a nanny. I thought could be so interesting. I was intrigued from the start, and then I read the script, and I was blown away by the look at the female characters. It came from such an empathetic and complex point of view, which I wasn’t really expecting.”

    Ahead, Winstead breaks down the ending of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, what she really thinks about being called a scream queen, and the horror movie she would love to do a sequel to.

    You’re a mother in real life. How did that affect how you approach this role?

    It just made it so easy to connect to Caitlyn. Thankfully, I don’t struggle in all the same ways that Caitlyn does. Motherhood doesn’t really come easily to her. She tries to present herself as though it does, but inside, she’s really struggling to figure out how to be a good mother and how to connect with her children. She sort of keeps coming up against these roadblocks, which ultimately has a lot to do with what’s inside of her and what she’s pushing down and repressing and not looking at until she can really be her true self and embrace that she’s not going to really be able to be the best mother she can be. Any mother can relate to that feeling of always wanting to be a better mother and sometimes feeling like you’re falling short. Even if we don’t all go through the same things to the extent that Caitlyn goes through, especially throughout the film, it’s something every parent can relate to at some level.

    The last scene of Polly and Caitlyn together shows Caitlyn crying over Polly’s body after she just killed her. What was going through Caitlyn’s mind in that scene? 

    It’s a very tragic moment, and it’s another thing I love about the film is that we’re not clapping and cheering for the villain being killed at the end. It’s actually incredibly sad. These two women have such a tragic past and this tragic connection with one another. And Caitlyn would never have wanted that to be the outcome for Polly or Rebecca with all that transpired when they were kids. If anything, she would have wanted to go back and save Polly from what she went through, and so she would have never wanted this to be the outcome. It’s everything coming out and letting out the truth about who she really is and what she really went through when she was young and facing that. 

    Do you feel like there is a victim or a villain in this story?

    I think they’re mirrors of one another. They’re two sides of the same coin. This is some backstory we created. It’s not in the film, but Caitlyn was able to move on and forward because she came from a background of wealth, and Polly did not. These are two sides of trauma, and somebody who has some support and is able to pick themselves up in some way, even if they’re still repressing what they’ve been through. And then someone who had no support at all and what that ultimately manifested into.

    Photo: Matthew Priestley.

    The movie ends with Emma telling Jody the same story Polly told her earlier in the movie about the can of tuna fish. What was the significance of that scene ending the movie?

    It’s a real comment on generational trauma, and the idea that now this young girl has just witnessed all of this pain and violence, and how is that going to affect her going on? It’s more of a question to think about what is that going to be like for her? I think there’s still hope that she’ll be able to heal from it, and that it won’t go down the same route that it’s been down before, with turning into a life of pain and violence and things for herself. But it is like it’s putting that question in the air of that could be a possibility and that this story could be passed on to the next generation. 

    We don’t see you as a blonde often. So what was the significance of the blonde hair?

    I dyed my hair blonde, and then I had extensions, because the idea was to sort of make Micah and I look alike as much as possible, just for this great effect that [director] Michelle [Garza Cervera] came up with, which is that Polly and Caitlyn sort of switch roles by the end of the film. You see Caitlyn starting to look a lot more like Polly, and Polly’s starting to look a lot more like Caitlyn. You see at the very last scene, Polly is wearing a cashmere sweater, and she’s got her hair up in a French twist bun. And Caitlyn is raggedy and her hair is stringy, and she’s in a sweatshirt, so she looks more down on her luck, like Polly looked in the beginning. And Polly looks a lot more like she’s living her best life Caitlyn was at the beginning. That effect was beautiful, and that was something that Michelle wanted to have throughout the film.

    I love characters who are survivors.

    Did you like yourself as a blonde?

    I did. I was so into it. I kept it for a long time. I’ve only recently gone back to brown because I was sort of like, “OK, I’m ready to feel like myself again.” But I kept the blonde for a good six months after we finished shooting, just because I thought, “I’m not blonde all the time. I might as well enjoy it while I can.”

    You’ve been in many horror and thriller movies. What do you like about the genre? 

    There’s a masochism element of loving being put through the ringer in some capacity. Because they’re always emotionally draining. I always want to go to the most real place, so that usually means, if my character is running for their life, that’s going to feel really real for me in the moment. I don’t know what it is about that that is so fun for me to play, but it’s incredibly cathartic to let it all out and scream and cry and claw and try to survive. I love characters who are survivors and in horror films, you really get to tap into that. And somebody like Caitlyn is someone who’s a real survivor, even if she’s often surviving in ways that are unhealthy by not really being her true self and creating this facade around herself. It’s still a survival mechanism.

    What do you think about the scream queen title fans have bestowed on you?

    I’m so honored to be called a queen of any kind. I love horror films. I couldn’t possibly not love being called that. It’s an absolute honor. I may be doing less horror films these days, so I don’t know if I’m still a scream queen, but I still dabble in it. I still enjoy it, so anyone who wants to call me that, I’ll happily take it. 

    Is there a horror movie that you would want to revisit for a sequel?

    10 Cloverfield Lane was so much fun to shoot. I’ve always thought that would be so fun to do a sequel to see where she is now, and what happened after that. At the time, we were always talking about it. And it felt like you could do a sequel that’s directly after. Is she off fighting aliens? What’s happening? I’m not sure if you were to do a sequel 10 years on what that would be, but it would be interesting.

    It’s not a horror movie, but I’m sure Scott Pilgrim vs. the World comes up a lot as a movie fans will often ask you about. Did you expect that film to have the legacy it does now?

    I always expected it to do well because it’s an incredible film. So it was a real surprise when it came out, and it wasn’t considered to have done well. In that moment, you go, “Wow, people didn’t see it.” You’re disappointed, and you move on to the next thing. So I don’t think in that moment, I was expecting it to be what it is now, but at the same time, I’m not surprised, because good art always finds a way and finds an audience, and it’s undeniably a great film. So it’s a really good testament that when you make great work, don’t worry about what happens. You don’t know right away if you’re in it for the long game. I love that it continues finding audiences.

    Has your son seen anything you’ve been in yet?

    He’s seen little snippets of Ahsoka, so he’s familiar with me green, but I feel like he might think that’s all I do. Just be green when I go to work. I would like to show him some other things. I’d like to show him Sky High, because that’s kind of the only family-friendly film I’ve really done. . Maybe soon he’ll be into that, but I don’t know. He might just find it odd that I’m in the movie, and he also might not really believe that it’s me because I’m so much younger.

    Speaking of Ahsoka, is there anything you can say about the new season?

    We just finished filming. We were working on it for six months in London and just wrapped a week and a half ago. I can say that I’m tired. So that’s a little hint that we were working hard on that. But it’s just incredibly fun, and it was so epic. I can’t wait for people to see it. It’s an incredibly ambitious season. So there’s a lot to see.

    How does it compare to the first season?

    It’s just much bigger in scope.  I can’t give any details away, really, but I was blown away by the scale of it. So I’m really looking forward to surprising people with that. It’s going to be really cool.

  • AWS Crashes Overnight, Causes Multiple Company Outages – KXL

    [ad_1]

    WASHINGTON (AP) — The internet appears to be recovering after an overnight outage at Amazon Web Services caused major disruptions to popular websites around the world.

    Amazon Web Services, or AWS, is a major cloud hosting site that underpins much of the internet. AWS customers include some of the world’s biggest businesses and organizations.

    The problem affected hundreds of sites, including some of the largest in the world.

    Amazon, Venmo, Hulu, Snapchat, Ring, Roblox, Slack, Fortnite and Microsoft365 were some of the major websites and web services affected.

    The outage appears to have begun around 3 a.m. Eastern Monday morning, according to Downdetector.com, which tracks online outages. On its website, Downdetector acknowledged the widespread problem with a banner on top of the site.

    “User reports indicate issues at Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the US-East-1 region,” the site said. “These problems are impacting multiple services that depend on AWS infrastructure. We’re monitoring the situation: check your local Downdetector site for the latest updates.”

    But by 6 a.m., some of the issues appeared to be resolving. Amazon said in a statement that sometime after 5 a.m., it had applied “initial mitigation” and confirmed that some websites were beginning to come back online.,

    “We are seeing significant signs of recovery,” the company said in a statement. “Most requests should now be succeeding. We continue to work through a backlog of queued requests.”

    Although the outage happened overnight in the U.S. and therefore affected fewer American internet users, it underscores the importance of Amazon’s cloud-based services to the internet as a whole.

    “So much of the world now relies on these three or four big (cloud) compute companies who provide the underlying infrastructure that when there’s an issue like this, it can be really impactful across a broad range, a broad spectrum” of online services, said Patrick Burgess, a cybersecurity expert at U.K.-based BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT.

  • Commentary: ICE ads are playing on a streamer near you. Can they survive the online rebellion?

    [ad_1]

    There you are, sitting in traffic in your car, listening to Taylor Swift on Spotify because it’s easier than subjecting yourself to a new, more challenging artist. An ad pops up in your stream. It’s serious stuff, evidenced by the dystopian tone of the narrator: “Join the mission to protect America,” the serious man’s voice commands, “with bonuses up to $50,000 and generous benefits. Apply now … and fulfill your mission.”

    It’s an Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruitment ad, part of the Trump administration’s investment of $30 billion to add more than 10,000 deportation officers to its ranks by the end of the year. You would have been spared the outrage if only you had paid for Spotify’s ad-free tier of service, but there’s no way the audio streamer is getting your money now. You’ll be switching to, say, Apple Music. Maybe Tidal?

    The experience of being subjected to recruitment ads for a domestic military force, assembled by a power-hungry president, has generated intense backlash that’s culminated this week in calls for boycotts of streaming services and platforms that have featured ICE spots. They include Pandora, ESPN, YouTube, Hulu and Fubo TV. Multiple HBO Max subscribers bemoaned on X that they were subjected to ICE recruitment videos while watching All Elite Wrestling: “Time to be force-fed ICE commercials against my will for two hours again #WWENXT,” @YKWrestling wrote.

    Recruitment ads — Uncle Sam’s “I Want You” poster comes to mind — are an American staple, especially in times of war. But the current recruitment effort is aimed at sending forces into American cities, predicated on exaggerated claims that U.S. metro areas are under siege and in peril due to dangerous illegal immigrants, leftist protesters and out-of-control crime rates. The data, however, does not support those claims. The American Immigration Council found that from 1980 to 2022, while the immigrant share of the U.S. population more than doubled (from 6.2% to 13.9%), the total crime rate declined by over 60%.

    Yet there’s a far scarier doomscape on the horizon if ICE’s recruitment efforts are successful: a mercenary army loyal only to Trump, weaponized to keep him on the throne. If that sounds more dystopian than the aforementioned Spotify ad, consider that the administration has spent more than $6.5 million over the past month on a slew of 30-second commercials aimed at luring in police officers.

    The ads aired on TVs in more than a dozen cities including Chicago, Seattle and Atlanta and opened with images of each specific metro area’s skyline. Then came the commanding narration: “Attention, Miami law enforcement!” It’s followed by the same messaging that is used in ICE ads across the country: “You took an oath to protect and serve, to keep your family, your city, safe. But in sanctuary cities you’re ordered to stand down while dangerous illegals walk free — Join ICE and help us catch the worst of the worst. Drug traffickers. Gang members. Predators.”

    But are the ads working? It’s hard to say since transparency isn’t a hallmark of the MAGA White House. For what it’s worth, a Sept. 16 press release from the DHS claimed that it had received more than 150,000 applications in response to its campaign and had extended 18,000 tentative job offers.

    As for the power of consumer-led boycotts, there’s hope. More than 1.7 million Disney, Hulu and ESPN subscriptions were reportedly canceled between Sept. 17 and Sept. 23 during Jimmy Kimmel’s temporary suspension by ABC (Disney is ABC’s parent company). The network pulled the show after the host’s comments related to Charlie Kirk’s assassination angered MAGA supporters and the Trump-appointed FCC chair appeared to threaten the network. But after a week with a significant increase in cancellations — a 436% jump compared to a normal week — Kimmel was back on the air.

    As of today, Spotify appears unmoved by the pressure to pull those intrusive ICE ads. “This advertisement is part of a broad campaign the US government is running across television, streaming, and online channels,” a Spotify spokesperson said in a statement this week. “The content does not violate our advertising policies. However, users can mark any ad with a thumbs up or thumbs down to help manage their ads preferences.”

    Thumbs down. Frowny emoji. Cue the dystopian narrator for a counter ad: “Join the mission to protect America: Cancel Spotify.”

    [ad_1]

    Premieres Wednesday:

    Inside Furioza — The sequel to the 2021 crime drama Furioza has a new kingpin taking hold of the Polish underworld, with plans to extend its reach into other countries. At press time, a confused Stephen Miller had ordered the arrest of Doda. (Netflix)

    Loot — Molly and Arthur are stranded on a desert island at the top of the long-awaited Season 3, which is finally hitting screens after a hiatus of nearly a year and a half.

    Murdaugh: Death in the Family — Jason Clarke plays Alex Murdaugh, the “it” killer of 2023, in a drama series that was announced two months before he even went to trial. What were they going to do if he was acquitted, retcon him as a K-pop demon hunter? (Hulu)

    No One Saw Us Leave — The Mexico of the 1960s is the setting for a reality-based drama in which a couple’s divorce becomes needlessly complicated when the husband kidnaps the daughter. That’s a niche market for the lawyers all right, but I understand their billboards are the s***. (Netflix) 

    Six Kings Slam 2025 — Plant yourself in front of the screen for three days of men’s tennis from Riyadh, but think very carefully: Do you really want to spend that much time in a country even Shane Gillis wouldn’t visit? (Netflix)

    Premieres Thursday:

    Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy — The humane approach is the modus operandi of an eight-episode dramatization that’s so determined to avoid exploitation it doesn’t reenact a single one of the infamous Gacy’s murders — or even show his victims interacting with him in any way whatsoever. As Derek Smalls would say, that’s a cozy 10 minutes. (Peacock)

    The Diplomat — As Season 3 commences, the sudden death of the American president elevates a psychopathic vice president into the top job. Listen, we’d take it. (Netflix)

    27 Nights — The life of Argentinian artist and writer Natalia Kohen inspired this probing drama about a woman whose daughters have her committed, even though what looks like mental illness on her part might simply be eccentricity.

    Good News — A black-comic take on the 1970 hijacking of a Japanese commercial flight, with the authorities exploring a bunch of zany strategies to restore order. Bright idea No. 1 is having Johnny in the control tower just unplug everything. (Netflix)

    Hollywood Hustler: Glitz, Glam, Scam — Former friends and even his ex-wife explain how they were taken in by Zach Horwitz, a struggling actor who fraudulently claimed to hold the foreign distribution rights to various big Hollywood films.

    Mr. Scorsese — Fellow filmmaker Rebecca Miller salutes the great Martin Scorsese with a five-part documentary that chronicles the great man’s life and work. Follow his entire creative evolution, from his early days as a student filmmaker at NYU to his later years as Kevin Feige’s No. 1 troll. Cinema! (Apple TV)

  • The Lowdown Recap: Live Fire

    [ad_1]

    Photo: Shane Brown/FX

    Let’s reflect on those no longer with us: Dale Washberg, Blackie, Berta, and now, Allen. How are these men related? Blackie and Berta tried to kill Dale, and Allen killed them for their failure. Allen was implicated in their failure, though whether he was killed for that or for killing Blackie or for some third reason remains a mystery. It’s unlikely that Dale knew the other men before his death, yet his death kicks off this spree of interconnected murders. And if all this violence strikes you as improbable in dusty Oklahoma, Sterlin Harjo has anticipated your doubts: Tulsa has the highest crime rate in the country, as Lee mentions a few episodes prior.

    It seems obvious that the man bathed in the sinister red light of refracted explosions at the end of “This Land?” — presumed Governor Donald Washberg — is behind it all. So obvious, in fact, that he probably isn’t behind it all. But even if “the candidate in the study with the revolver” isn’t the winning accusation, Donald’s so odious that it’s hard to imagine loathing the real triggerman more. Even if he’s not our killer, this man is our villain. As such, the engine of each episode isn’t Lee’s progress toward identifying Donald, it’s the friends he makes and loses along the way. Last week, Betty Jo. Before that, Francis and Ray’s Wild Ride. This week, we meet misanthropic Wendell, Lee’s oldest friend, who basically can’t stand him.

    Lee’s sleeping off his hangover with his duct-taped buckaroo boots still on when Francis barrels into the bedroom, agitated by what she’s seen on the local news: Allen, the guy who walked into Hoot Owl Books and threatened her dad, was gunned down in broad daylight. Lee’s surprised by the development, impressed that his teen daughter watches the news (“That’s cool … They lie sometimes.”), and mildly disapproving of the fact that Francis cut class to find him. In fact, it seems to have reawakened him to the fact that he’s her parent. Before dropping her back at school, Lee tells Francis that it’s too dangerous for her to be part of his investigation. It’s a line he should have drawn a few episodes ago, before he dragged her to the marina to find the missing books. Now, Lee’s ban feels unfair to her and his reasoning capricious — it was okay for Francis to play Clue when she was saving the letters her dad wanted.

    Wendell (Peter Dinklage) has come to town for the pair’s annual memorial to a friend who overdosed, and his arrival serves as an unwelcome mirror for Lee. Once he learns what his old pal is up to, Wendell warns Lee that he’s going to get Francis hurt by being selfish. That’s what Lee does. Incidentally, their friend Jesus’ relapse a few years ago isn’t Lee’s fault, but, as Wendell reminds him, Lee was supposed to check on him that day.

    To some extent, Lee and Wendell are versions of the same guy: greasy Gen Xers who’ve made a whole personality out of being a little clever and smoking pot; wry and rancorous men who pride themselves on owning nothing more formal than a graphic tee. Wendell’s briefly upset to learn Lee wants to bail on Jesus Day in favor of gumshoeing, but he can’t resist the chance to prove he’s better than Lee, who’s struggling to figure out where the land Dale and Donald were arguing over is located. If a place isn’t on Google Maps, can it really be said to exist?

    Once he’s read into the case, Wendell boasts that he can find Indian Head Hills in less than two hours. And so begins this week’s scav hunt. First stop is the Skiatook Municipal Courthouse, where Wendell charms an exhausted clerk into finding him an atlas from before 1950. Lee can’t believe how far a little flirting can go, but Lee doesn’t really stop long enough to notice what other people need. Even with Betty Jo last week, it took him a few tries. Indian Head Hills is a plot of land in the middle of nowhere, but when they drive out there, they find the next clue: a “no trespassing” sign posted by White Elk LLC.

    Wendell thinks it’s a stupid name; there are no elk in Oklahoma. Lee says there are elk in Oklahoma. The point is that these men can argue about anything. Maybe they were friends once, but now Wendell can’t stand anything about Lee, from the way he orders a Dr. Pepper cocktail to the way he still believes in himself. It offends Wendell that Lee thinks his article in some way contributed to Dale’s death, and it affronts his cynicism that Lee thinks he can bring down one of the most powerful men in Oklahoma.

    Out on the Indian Head Hills that Lee didn’t believe existed, the simmering tension between them spills into violence that’s played for humor. They each land at least one good punch, but the fight’s choreography is less concerned with naming a winner than landing a joke — Lee’s face ends up in the same patch of grass where Wendell pissed minutes earlier. And before either man can do much damage, a truck pulls up behind Lee’s pedo van. The guys who get out carry machine guns, but they don’t spot Wendell and Lee on the hill. At least now, Wendell believes that Lee is onto something nefarious.

    The third stop on their friendship-destroying, intelligence-gathering tour is to Lee’s ever-resourceful realtor, Vicky. She’s able to learn that White Elk is selling the Indian Head Hills plot to a company called One Well, at four times the market value, with no other bidders involved. Suspicious, indeed. But when Lee remarks that “that sounds like a great way to launder a bribe to a future governor,” the implication is that he’s figured out something that Wendell’s not already thinking. You can see what’s maybe been getting on Wendell’s nerves over the past few decades — the subtle insistence that Lee is sharper than everyone else in the room.

    Eventually, the men gather in a sacred space (an abandoned parking lot) for Jesus’ sacred ceremony (sitting around a bucket fire). For fuel, Lee and Wendell burn books, the irony of which I’m sure delights them both. Then they trade a photo of Jesus back and forth, as they confide in their absent friend what they’re most ashamed of. Today is the earliest Wendell has woken up in 72 days. “I’m a mess,” he says. Lee has put Francis in danger, and he’s going to lose the bookstore: “I, too, am a mess.” In the loser Olympics, there are no winners.

    Lee tells Wendell he’s become a person who doesn’t like anything anymore. Wendell tells Lee that he doesn’t trust him. So why does Wendell still want to make this pilgrimage every year? He calls Jesus’s death “the hellhound on my trail,” words that Lee borrows to describe what it’s like for him to be friends with someone as nihilistic and destructive as Wendell. Wendell’s foot is in a cast for reasons he won’t talk about; he carries painkillers into a courthouse when he’s on probation. Jesus may haunt Wendell, but Wendell terrifies Lee.

    Finally, we get the needle drop we’ve all been waiting for: “Tulsa Queen” by Emmylou Harris. While Lee road trips around Osage County, Betty Jo sits at the vanity, deciding whether to put on her wedding ring. She’s still sitting there, figuring out how to fill up the hours of a long day, when she hears a door slam downstairs. It’s scorned Donald, who saw that scoundrel Lee leaving his mistress’s house this morning. Betty Jo argues that she’s the scorned party here — if Donald still cares about her, why did he send Marty to pay her off? Betty Jo does well to insist she didn’t tell Lee a thing about Dale or about Pearl, but she’s scared — livid, Donald puts his fist through her kitchen cabinet. She whimpers as he leaves, taking his brother’s gun with him. Then, Betty Jo wisely calls her new boyfriend.

    Donald didn’t have time to reconcile with her anyway. He’s slated to shake hands at a meeting of The 46, a group of powerful, aggrieved men named for the order in which Oklahoma gained statehood. I assume they’re a racist organization because (a) Frank is giving a speech there and (b) the speech includes the suspicious line “it’s not about race” to a single-race crowd. “These Indian tribes, they’re like foreign governments set up right here, under our nose, beholden to no man and no laws except those of their own making,” Frank warns the nodding audience. (Yes, Frank, that is more or less the definition of an autonomous tribal nation, at least in relation to state laws.) After the speech, Frank and Donald talk. Frank wants to know why the White Elk deal hasn’t gone through. “My buyer’s getting impatient,” he tells Donald, suggesting, perhaps, a bigger baddie — a player with more money than Frank and more power than Donald.

    A good rule of thumb is that the more Jeanne Tripplehorn an episode has, the better it’s going to be, so it’s dark news that Betty Jo is heading into hiding. After meeting with Lee, they agree she’s not safe in Tulsa anymore. Lee suggests she check into a women’s retreat he happened to see on a flyer at Hoot Owl and agrees to tell her daughter the plan. In a faintly mind-bending scene, Lee finds Pearl, played by Oklahoma’s own Ken Pomeroy, at an open-mic night, singing “Bound to Rain,” a song by Ken Pomeroy.

    Lee’s just about to explain Betty Jo’s absence when those cops that hate him — last seen at Dale’s memorial — scoop him up and deliver him to hell. And hell is the most savage house party you’ve ever seen. People are revving chainsaws and lighting fires. They’re throwing punches and firing machine guns. What’s worse is that everyone in this crowded place — an unholy congregation of police and skinheads — knows Lee Raybon by sight, and they all have something to tell him: Fuck you. Lee’s here because someone wants to talk to him, the ringmaster of this infernal circus: Donald Washberg. We won’t find out what the devil wants to say until next week, but it’s hard to imagine that his words will be more threatening than the simple act of having Lee dragged here, through this river of boiling blood.
