Schmigadoon! Is Charming Catnip for Musical Theater Kids: Review
The Pitch: Josh (Keegan-Michael Key) and Melissa (Cecily Strong) have hit a roadblock in their relationship: he’s too aloof, she’s too controlling, and the pair are steamrolling towards an abrupt end. But on a last-ditch backpacking trip to rediscover their bliss, they stumble upon something stranger: A mysterious, brightly-lit town called Schmigadoon, where everything looks like a colorblind-cast version of a ’40s villa and the townspeople burst into song at the drop of a straw hat. Soon, they discover that they’re trapped in the cloyingly musical town until they can find “true love” — love that it seems they don’t have anymore (if they ever did). Will the two patch up and get out? Or will they have to find a way to adjust to this new, toe-tapping normal? Corn Puddin’, Corn Puddin’, ...

Blade’s Stephen Dorff Slams Marvel Movies, Says Black Widow “Looks Like Garbage”
Marvel may be at the top of the food chain in terms of superhero cinema, but for one former star, they’re just cattle.

It looks like a bad video g...
