Should Jade Let Sean Move In Again On Teen Mom 2?
Jade and Kloie are preparing for Sean to come home soon from a treatment center in Texas. And when the young dad is reunited with his loved ones, the mother-daughter duo will be getting ready to move into a brand-new home (or they’ll already be there). But during tonight’s Teen Mom 2 episode, Jade admitted she still isn’t sure if the family will all be together under one roof. “I was thinking about getting him an Airbnb for a few days,” she told her friend Chau. “I obviously want him to come back, and I want him to be in the house with Kloie and Kloie to feel like okay things are getting a little more back to normal. But I also don’t want to push things and make it to where it’s a little too fast for me.” She then added that she has bec...
The Staircase Takes a Winding Path Through the Infamous Michael Peterson Case: Review
The Pitch: It’s one of the most infamous murder cases in the 21st century: On December 9th, 2001, Kathleen Peterson (Toni Collette) was found dead at the foot of the staircase in her Durham, North Carolina home, having bled out from a suspiciously large number of head wounds. The only one home was her husband, novelist and mayoral candidate Michael Peterson (Colin Firth), who called 911 and explained through tears that she’d fallen down the stairs. But the event’s strain on the Peterson family compounds as Kathleen’s death opens up fissures between the blended family, to say nothing of the suspicion Michael faces as his wife’s possible murderer. As the trial heats up, and more secrets come out about Michael’s hidden life, the family — and the French documentary crew filming him and th...
Introducing Tokyo: Why David From The Real World: New Orleans Has A New Name
David Broom entered The Real World: New Orleans back in 2000. And now, in 2022, Tokyo Broom is having a homecoming and living with his MTV roomies one more time. Tokyo is not the only cast member with a different name (Kelly and Melissa have different last names since their RW debut because they are now married). Still, the group wanted to learn more about the Chicago native’s decision to change his moniker during the premiere installment of the Paramount+ series. “It’s not like this major, major thing,” the “Come on Be My Baby Tonight” crooner explained to everyone immediately after they settled in their Big Easy house. “I’ve been so enthralled and immersed in the Japanese style of writing that I got the nickname Tokyo. It’s stuck ever...

Travis Mills and actress Rahne Jones are about to help! individuals in long-term romances find out why they are being hidden in a secret relationship. “Everyone moves to LA to be found, and then I find it so ironic that we’re over here helping people find out why they’ve been hidden,” Travis states in the sneak peek above from tonight’s episode of Help!

Composer Ramin Djawadi on Uncharted and Jamming With The National in Westeros
Ramin Djawadi, the Emmy-winning composer behind the scores for Iron Man, Pacific Rim, and Game of Thrones, isn’t sure that he has a signature sound to his works for film, TV, video games, and more. “I don’t know if I can analyze myself and say, oh, I sound like Ramin,” he tells Consequence. “I can definitely think of other composers when I hear their music, but I’m not sure if I can say it about myself. I don’t know. I think it’s up to others to decide if I have that or not.” While he might not be able to hear what makes it distinctive, Djawadi has nonetheless become quite in demand. His latest film, the Tom Holland-starring adaptation of Uncharted, is now available for rental, and on the horizon this year are two massive TV projects: Djawadi will be returning not just to compose the music...
Better Call Saul Recap: When You Can’t Run Any Further
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Better Call Saul Season 6 Episode 3, “Rock and Hard Place.” For our recap of Episode 2, click here] Case Summary While other things happen in the third episode of Better Call Saul, “Rock and Hard Place” should be forever remembered as The Nacho Episode, for very good reason. Nacho isn’t the first series regular to perish over the course of the show’s run — that honor belongs to Chuck McGill (Michael McKean). But Michael Mando delivers a simply staggering performance in his theoretical swan song, facing a fate which might have seemed inevitable from the beginning, but is still heartbreaking to watch. Writer/director Gordon Smith delivers Nacho to his end with an episode so deliberately paced that the dread builds more and more with each de...
Barry’s Anthony Carrigan on Showing a Whole New Side to NoHo Hank in Season 3
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Barry, Season 3, Episode 1, “forgiving jeff.”] It wasn’t perhaps the love story you were expecting to bloom when the dark HBO comedy Barry first premiered, but that just makes it a well-earned and also unexpected delight: Following the events of the Season 2 finale, as seen in the Season 3 premiere, the overwhelmingly cheerful NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) and rival mob leader Cristobal (Michael Irby) are now romantically involved. Of course, Barry is not exactly a show built for happy endings, especially for the confirmed mobsters at its core, but for right now, Carrigan is just happy to play a new dimension to NoHo Hank, one which builds upon the character’s established desire to care for others, but with a whole new edge. “I’m excited t...
Kiernan Shipka and Diane Kruger on How Real Hollywood Can Be Just as Brutal as Swimming With Sharks
Kiernan Shipka has some unconventional advice for getting to know a new co-star — do drugs with them. Or pretend to do drugs with them, as she tells Consequence. The Mad Men and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina alum stars with Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds, National Treasure) in Swimming With Sharks, a six-episode limited series that was originally produced to debut on the dearly departed streaming service Quibi. After Quibi shut down literally as the series was finishing up production, it (along with other Quibi series) was rescued by the Roku Channel for distribution. Based on the acclaimed 1994 indie film about a young assistant dealing with a tyrannical Hollywood boss, creator Kathleen Robertson flipped the genders of the leads to introduce the character of Lou Simms (Shipka), an as...
Kerry Washington Cast in The Simpsons as Bart’s New Teacher
Bart Simpson has had a revolving door of burnout substitute teachers since the 2013 retirement of the beloved Ms. Krabappel, but now, The Simpsons has finally found an adequate permanent replacement. The sitcom has cast Kerry Washington as Rayshelle Peyton, Bart’s new teacher (via Entertainment Weekly). Washington’s Ms. Peyton is a kind, competent educator and a complete departure from the jaded Ms. Krabappel (voiced by the late Marcia Wallace). While Ms. Krabappel served as Bart’s foil more than his role model, Ms. Peyton takes a different approach to education — by actually teaching. “She’s a little too honest, in a very, very sweet, quirky way,” Simpsons co-executive producer Carolyn Omine told EW. “She has a very ambitious project, and she seems like she’s going to be able to at l...
