Bradley Cooper Is Unrecognizable as Leonard Bernstein in ‘Maestro’ First Look Photos
Netflix unveiled a glimpse at their new film Maestro on Monday (May 30), including Bradley Cooper‘s jaw-dropping transformation as West Side Story composer Leonard Bernstein. In the photos released from set, a ’50s-era Cooper is rendered in black and white alongside Carey Mulligan as Bernstein’s wife, actress Felicia Montealegre. He’s also miraculously aged up to portray the conductor in the 1980s, when he was in his 60s, using makeup and a wig. In one snap, he sits behind a desk, virtually unrecognizable as a cigarette burns between his fingers; in another, he paces in an auditorium as he waves his finger, either conducting the action on stage or giving a note.

See the Prosthetics That Might Win Bradley Cooper an Oscar in Leonard Bernstein Biopic Maestro
Academy Award voters love a good prosthetic, and plastic-aided transformations have garnered Oscars for Robert De Niro, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, and more. Perhaps we’ll soon be adding Bradley Cooper’s name to that list; the many times-nominated superstar is directing himself in the Leonard Bernstein biopic Maestro, and first look photos show him wearing a double-sized nose, jowls that hang down over his chest like a bronze chain, and eyebrows so bushy they tried to invade Iraq. Maestro is produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and Martin Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions. Cooper himself co-wrote the script with Josh Singer, and he’ll be starring opposite Carey Mulligan as Felicia Montealegre, Chilean actress and Bernstein’s wife. Although Bernstein is best rememb...
‘Weird Al’ Yankovic Reacts to ‘Brave’ T-Shirt Reference in ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4
“Weird Al” Yankovic is getting some more love from Stranger Things. In the long-awaited fourth season of the Netflix sci-fi series, which debuted on Friday (May 27), the legendary comedian is referenced during a cafeteria scene between high school pals Dustin Henderson and Mike Wheeler — played by Gaten Matarazzo and Finn Wolfhard, respectively — and their Hellfire Club leader Eddie Munson, portrayed by Joseph Quinn. “I knew it the moment I saw you,” Munson says, crouched between the two friends. “You sat at that table right over there, looking like two little lost sheep.” Turning to Dustin, he adds, “You were wearing a ‘Weird Al’ T-shirt, which I thought was brave.” Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news The long-haired Dungeons & Dragons...
Stranger Things Adds Disclaimer to Season 4 After Uvalde School Shooting
Netflix has added a disclaimer to Season 4 of Stranger Things following the horrifying school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead. “We filmed this season of Stranger Things a year ago,” the warning states before the series recap. “But given the recent tragic shooting at a school in Texas, viewers may find the opening scene of episode 1 distressing. We are deeply saddened by this unspeakable violence, and our hearts go out to every family mourning a loved one.” The first seven episodes of Season 4 premiered on Netflix today, May 27th, with the final two episodes due out on July 1st.

Ricky Gervais’ New Netflix Special SuperNature Also Super Transphobic
Ricky Gervais, the comedian who gained fame by lampooning the sexism, homophobia, and overall incompetence of corporate America, has reinvented himself as Ricky Gervais, Genital Understander. He has a new Netflix special out now, and to the surprise of no one, SuperNature is also super transphobic. “Oh, women!” he says less than five minutes after he began (via Variety). “Not all women, I mean the old-fashioned ones. The old-fashioned women, the ones with wombs. Those fucking dinosaurs. I love the new women. They’re great, aren’t they? The new ones we’ve been seeing lately. The ones with beards and cocks. They’re as good as gold, I love them. And now the old-fashioned ones say, ‘Oh, they want to use our toilets.’ ‘Why shouldn’t they use your toilets?’ ‘For ladies!’ ‘They are ladi...
Netflix Unveils First Eight Minutes of Stranger Things Season 4: Watch
Pack your bags, because we’re heading to Hawkins, Indiana: Netflix has shared the first eight minutes of the highly-anticipated fourth season of Stranger Things today. The sneak preview arrives just ahead of its premiere next Friday. Here, we’re dialing the clock back to 1979 and taking a closer look at the inner workings of Hawkins National Laboratories, where Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) first escaped way back in the show’s pilot episode. Throughout the rooms of the lab are fleets of children with hospital gowns, shaved heads, and numbers marked on their wrists — just like Eleven when we first met her. But as Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) begins his routine examinations on Ten, the young test subject detects disaster unfolding in Hawkins Lab — and one familiar face appears particularly gui...
Stranger Things Season 4 Gets Spoiled by Monopoly Tie-In Game
A Monopoly-themed tie-in to the hit Netflix show Stranger Things has spoiled major plot points of the upcoming Season 4. Don’t worry, we would never spoil them here, but for the time being, be particularly careful when going down the rabbit hole that is Reddit from now until the season’s May 27th premiere. (The second and final batch of Season 4 episodes — billed as “Volume 2” — will hit the streamer later this summer on July 1st.) According to The Hollywood Reporter, creators Matt and Ross Duffer had a “total meltdown” over the leak, though a user on Reddit claims they found the updated version of the long-running game at “a nationally recognized retailer” and that it was “purchased fair and square by a consumer. Nobody stole it; nobody leaked a sample.” However, the outlet also notes tha...

Black Mirror Greenlit for Season 6 at Netflix
It’s been nearly three years since new episodes of Black Mirror landed on Netflix, but Variety reports the streamer has now greenlit the dystopian sci-fi series for Season 6. Currently in pre-production, details of the new season are being kept under wraps, but Variety describes it as “more cinematic in scope,” with each episode being “treated as an individual film.” Considering most of the recent episodes have run well over an hour, it will be interesting to see how the Black Mirror showrunners take the series to the next level. Season 5 of Black Mirror premiered in June 2019. Containing three episodes, it featured a star-studded cast of Miley Cyrus, Anthony Mackie, and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.

Surprise Norm Macdonald Stand-Up Special, Filmed Prior to His Death, Coming to Netflix
Norm Macdonald was working on new stand-up material for a Netflix special before his death, but he never got to try out the routine in front of a live audience. Fortunately for fans, the comedian committed his jokes to tape in a home-recorded video that the streaming platform will soon unearth for the first time. Macdonald was diagnosed with cancer in 2012, but kept his illness private from the public. According to Lori Jo Hoekstra, the comedian’s longtime friend and producing partner, he recorded his final special before heading into the hospital in 2020 as a precautionary measure. “His test results were not good, so during the heart of COVID-19 pandemic and literally the night before going in for a procedure, he wanted to get this on tape just in case — as he put it — things went south,”...
