If you find yourself laughing out loud while watching the new sports comedy Running Point, you're not alone. The Netflix hit is "a return to traditional comedy," showrunner-producer David Stassen tells Gold Derby, and it also provides viewers with that "big feel" they've been "craving."

Cocreated by Stassen, Elaine Ko, Mindy Kaling, and Ike Barinholtz, Running Point stars Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, a former party girl who becomes the president of the Los Angeles Waves basketball team. The family-owned business includes older brother Cam (Justin Theroux), middle brother Ness (Scott MacArthur), and younger brother Sandy (Drew Tarver), plus surprise half-brother Jackie (Fabrizio Guido).

The 10-episode first season of Running Point dropped Feb. 27 on Netflix, and it was picked up for Season 2 days later. The series is eligible at the 2025 Emmys in the comedy categories.

Here is our full interview with Stassen, which includes spoilers for the full Season 1.

If the movies of the 2000s were defined by a period of violent transition (both onscreen and off), the music that was written for those movies captured the full sweep of that change — and the endless possibilities it allowed for in turn. The aughts were absent a single identifying element as strong to the decade as synths were to the ’80s or symphonic grandeur was to the ’90s, and to judge by our list of the period’s best scores it sounds like they might have been all the better for it.

On the one hand, the 2000s saw venerated masters like John Williams and Terence Blanchard deliver some of the greatest work of their careers, while journeyman like “Lord of the Rings” composer Howard Shore emerged into legendary status with a single...

Fluffy Iglesias, a legendary comedian, is considering retirement after his record-breaking performance at Dodger Stadium. His introspective comments reflect the uncertainty that comes with reaching the peak of his career. Iglesias' farewell tour is a celebration of his comedic journey, and fans can expect lasting memories from his final shows.

Gabriel "Fluffy" Iglesias stands as a towering figure in the world of stand-up comedy, but is Fluffy retiring? "Fluffy," a name synonymous with infectious charisma, has carved an indelible mark in the stand-up comedy world. Rising from the humble beginnings of performing in small comedy clubs, Fluffy's journey to stardom is one of persistence and unmatched talent. His breakthrough came with the I'm Not Fat… I'm Fluffy special, which coined his iconic nickname and catapulted him into the comedy stratosphere. His unique comedic style, characterized by vivid storytelling and a remarkable ability to imitate voices, earned him a massive following.

In the world of streaming, Netflix still reigns supreme in producing stand-up comedy specials, some of which are considered the greatest of all time. However, much like everything else they distribute, they can't all be winners. Humor is subjective and while there isn't a comedian for every viewer, there is a viewer for every comedian.

Sometimes the best in the business falter in their latest project and other times, an individual's comedic talents aren't translated well to stand-up. Every so often, a comedy special will be so objectively unfunny, controversial, or downright offensive that nobody laughs.

Updated on January 15, 2024 by Hannah Grimes: We've revamped this article's angle to now be the most unpopular Netflix stand-up specials, updated it to fit current Cbr guidelines, and added a few more comedy specials to maybe avoid when you're looking for a few good laughs.

The unused villain designs for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse should have been included in the film to showcase the expert craftsmanship of the animators and character designers. Including these cut villains in the third film would make the world of the Spider-Verse movie feel more lived in and build a fleshed-out universe, similar to the first two films. By including Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's cut villains in Beyond the Spider-Verse, it would continue the vibrant and distinct feel of the universes visited while giving the fantastic designs their time in the spotlight.

An unused villain design for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse proved that the film's cut villain scenes should have been left as part of the film. Initially, the first act of the Into the Spider-Verse sequel included a scene where Spot, the film's villain, entered Marvel Comics' The Bar With No Name. A safe haven...

Ed and Dex are back and ready for new adventures in the first official teaser for Good Burger 2.

"Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can we take your order?" we hear in the first footage of the sequel to the 1997 original.

The movie will follow Dexter Reed (Kenan Thompson) and the original cashier, Ed (Kel Mitchell), as they reunite in the present day at the fast-food restaurant Good Burger with a hilarious new group of employees.

In addition to Thompson and Mitchell, the returning cast includes Josh Server as Fizz, Lori Beth Denberg as Connie Muldoon, and Carmen Electra as Roxanne.

Lil Rel Howery joins the cast as Cecil McNevin, a lawyer for the corporation MegaCorp.

Jillian Bell is set to play Katt Boswell, the CEO of MegaCorp.

Kamaia Fairburn is Mia, a cool and confident teen who works at Good Burger to help her mother when she can.

Created and marketed in 1959 as a teenage fashion doll alternative to baby dolls — and the star, of course, of the critically acclaimed box office blockbuster — Barbie has not only driven a cultural conversation on gender and feminism but also a desire to look like the doll itself. And now that’s more possible than ever (if not controversial), in almost every way except making human feet permanently arched.

Rachel Evans, a well-known Barbie lookalike in the U.K., has achieved her self-stated goal of being “a human doll … now I am Barbie 24/7,” as she states on her website, rachelevanstv.com, through 35 facial injection procedures. Wearing a pink and white plaid dress and hat akin to Barbie’s (Margot Robbie) traveling look in the movie, Evans explains her fixation in a Zoom interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying that she was bullied as a child, resulting in a broken nose: “I...

New cast members have been revealed for Good Burger 2. In development for a streaming release on Paramount+, the sequel brings back Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson to reprise their respective roles as Ed and Dexter from the original film. Variety now reports that Good Burger 2 will also bring back Carmen Electra, Josh Server, and Lori Beth Denberg. These will be actors familiar to fans of the original Good Burger.

In the first movie, Electra played Roxanne, an employee of Good Burger's competitor Mondo Burger. She is paid by Mondo Burger boss Kurt Bozwell (Jan Schweiterman) to seduce Ed in order to learn the secret recipe for his famous "Ed Sauce," but she winds up getting herself badly injured with her failed attempt. Electra has not been acting in recent years, and this will notably be the first movie she has appeared in since 2015's Book of Fire.
