Rhys Darby on Finally Playing the Lead and Collaborating With Taika Waititi Again: “We Have Kindred Spirits”
At the end of Consequence‘s phone interview with Our Flag Means Death star Rhys Darby, the veteran comedy actor felt the need to apologize. “Sorry for rambling on — I’ve had two coffees and you’re the first person I’ve spoken to today,” he said, before adding, “I’m a lead actor now, I’m going to do way more talking!” This is Darby’s time to shine, as after decades of appearing in projects like the Jumanji films and his iconic role as Murray in Flight of the Conchords, he’s for the first time ever number one on the call sheet for a TV show. Specifically, Darby stars the HBO Max period comedy about real-life historical figure Stebe Bonnet, who abandoned his family in 1717 to become a pirate, assembling an eclectic crew on board his well-appointed ship for one of the weirder mid-life crises o...
American Song Contest Books The Crystal Method (?), Jewel (??), Michael Bolton (???), Sisqó (?????)
In the quest to find “America’s next great hit,” American Song Contest, the US’ answer to Eurovision, has booked such up-and-coming artists as [checks notes] The Crystal Method, Jewel, Michael Bolton, and Sisqó? We mean no disrespect to these iconic artists, who together made some of the most indelible music of the ’80s, ’90s, and ’00s. But the Eurovision Song Contest, which selects one artist to represent each participating country, is known for vaulting young singers to superstardom, including ABBA (1974 winners), Celine Dion (1988), and last year’s victors, the suddenly-omnipresent Måneskin. After a six-decade career, Michael Bolton has reached the very nice age of 69. Surely a rising artist could have been found to represent the great state of Connecticut? The inaug...
Teen Mom 2 Sneak Peek: Briana Is Meeting Up With Kail’s Ex Chris
Kail once invited Devoin on her podcast — and when the new season of Teen Mom 2 returns, a similar crossover involving their exes will unfold. “[Chris] wants to invite me on his podcast,” Briana tells her sister Brittany in the sneak peek, referring to the father of Kail’s sons Lux and Creed. “His podcast is about single dads — he just wants a single mom perspective on things.” Brittany asks her sister why she is meeting up with Chris and predicts this will “cause drama,” adding that her sister is “being messy.” However, Briana is quick to state that they do not like each other romantically, and when Devoin and Kail spoke on her podcast, she “never made a peep.” How did Briana get to know Chris? And will her fian...
We Took a Moment to Question the Nature of Reality With The Dropout’s William H. Macy
The Dropout is a true-crime story that happened right in front of our eyes, as a young woman named Elizabeth Holmes (played in the Hulu series by Amanda Seyfried) became a Silicon Valley darling with her concept for a blood-testing device that could revolutionize the health care industry — if it worked, that is. One of the first people to decry Holmes as a fraud was Richard Fuisz (William H. Macy), a family friend of the Holmes who took offense at his neighbor’s daughter getting involved in medical technology — his field of expertise — without consulting him. His investigation into Holmes’ work ended up being key to the reveal that her company was raising a billion dollars of funding for fraudulent devices, even while his obsession with exposing Holmes as a fraud coincided with the end of ...
The MTV Movie & TV Awards Are Heading Back To The Hangar
Quick question: Do you have some popcorn handy? If not, MTV has you covered. The 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards are coming back in just a few months, and as ever, the show has plenty of golden popcorn to go around. The awards will air on Sunday, June 5 live from Barker Hangar, the site of past shows in 2018 and 2019 (as well as a trio of them from 1997-1999). Last year’s show celebrated all the buzzy superhero stories, coming-of-age tales, and romantic narratives that made our year, while it also presented a great platform for honoring the legacy of Chadwick Boseman and even facilitating the sliming of Scarlett Johansson. Who will take home a trophy this time around? And will anyone be slimed again? Luckily, you don’t have to wait all that long to find out. And the golden popco...
How The Teen Moms Concluded The First-Ever Family Reunion
“Cheers to the first Teen Mom: Family Reunion!” Amber, Ashley, Briana, Cheyenne, Jade, Leah, and Maci officially closed the chapter on the inaugural MTV getaway during tonight’s finale. But before the young women — who endured heartfelt sessions with Coach B as well as a few unexpected events varying from surprise guests to a health scare — said goodbye, they were able to share this unique experience with an OG. “Even though I couldn’t be here from the beginning, Tyler and I made it work to where I could come in for one quick day to surprise all of the girls,” Catelynn, who welcomed daughter Rya Rose weeks before this vacation, stated before she arrived at the final dinner. The women were genuinely shocked and happy when Cate walked into the ...
Voice of Bender John DiMaggio Finally Joins Futurama Revival: “I’m Back, Baby!”
John DiMaggio would like to invite all the haters to bite his shiny metal ass. As Variety reports, the voiceover legend has officially boarded the Futurama revival headed for Hulu. When Futurama was pulled out of the cryogenic chamber last month, fans quickly noted a missing piece: DiMaggio, a veteran of such beloved properties as Adventure Time, Gears of War, Teen Titans and more, who had voiced the character of Bender since the show’s inception. As he subsequently explained in a statement, he’d turned down an offer out of “self-respect,” adding, “Just to be clear, I don’t think only I deserve to be paid more. I think the entire cast does.” His holdout was brief and apparently successful. In a jubilant new statement, DiMaggio wrote, “I’M BACK, BABY!...
The Boys Presents: Diabolical Offers Wild Superpowered Raunch As We Wait for Season 3 — Review
The Pitch: Animated spinoff anthologies for popular nerd properties are all the rage, it seems; hot off the back of Star Wars Visions a mere few months ago, Prime Video’s hit superhero satire The Boys gets one in the form of The Boys Presents: Diabolical. Taking inspiration, presumably, from their other blood-soaked comic book adaptation Invincible, here we’ve got eight distinct stories, with eight distinct animation styles, telling stories in and around the show’s world of corporate-sponsored (and created) superheroes, and the intestine-strewn trails they leave in their wake. Across eight Adult Swim-sized stories, the anthology peeks into the following tales of superpowered mayhem: Advertisement • A Tex Avery-style silent caper with a Vought scientist chasing down...
