Timothée Chalamet Movie Transformation (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Timothée Chalamet’s rise has been as dramatic and stylish as one of his red carpet-looks. He started as the indie scene’s favorite artsy boy, soft-spoken, floppy-haired, and constantly heartbroken in sun-drenched landscapes. Fast forward a few years, and he’s now leading box office juggernauts, riding space worms in Dune: Part Two, and rapping his way through chocolate factories in Wonka.

Somehow, he managed to stay both a fashion icon and a total goofball (we’re still not over Lil Timmy Tim). With collaborations spanning from Greta Gerwig to Denis Villeneuve, he has officially entered that rare actor zone where people will show up just to watch him stare moodily into the distance. So, whether you’ve been following him since Call Me By Your Name or hopped on the hype train post-Interstellar, it’s time to rank the hits, the near-misses,...

This originally premiered last year in the UK on Paramount+. It's now available to watch streaming in the US exclusively on the PlayStation Plus network in Sony Pictures Core. Stags is actually a 6-episode series (not a movie!) that follows groom-to-be Stu and his friends on his stag do trip down to South America. One review calls it "the exhilarating, gorgeous tale of eight idiots." Ha. Stu's stag do in South America goes bad when Greg collapses at customs and is found to be full of cocaine.

Exclusive: UTA has signed BAFTA-award-winning actress and writer Daisy May Cooper for representation in all areas.

Cooper first gained widespread recognition as the co-creator, writer, and star of the critically acclaimed BBC Three comedy series This Country. She received BAFTA Awards for Best Scripted Comedy and Best Female Comedy Performance for her portrayal of ‘Kerry Mucklowe.’

The mockumentary sitcom gives an inside look at rural life in a small English village in the Cotswolds through the lives of two cousins, one played by Cooper and the other by her brother Charlie Cooper who co-created the series. This Country ran for three seasons from 2017-2020.

Following This Country, Cooper starred in the BBC One/HBO dramedy series Rain Dogs. She led the cast in the role of ‘Costello,’ a single mother raising her daughter on the fringes of society attempting to go straight in a crooked world. The 2023 series also starred Jack Farthing,...

After four turns of being denied Album of the Year at the Grammys — losses that said four blockbuster albums (two of which spawned their own films), four legendary world tours, two Super Bowl performances, more Grammy wins than any other person, and many more acts of unequivocal genius were simply not good enough — Beyoncé finally walked away with that coveted golden gramophone for Cowboy Carter.

With the greatest living entertainer earning a win that’s been due to her since 2013’s Beyoncé, you’d think her breaking this curse would feel better.

Charlie’s investigation will not only highlight these unique events but also showcase the vibrant communities that keep these traditions alive.

As Charlie visits various wild winter festivals, the episode will reveal the colorful...

A praiseworthy score of 88% on Rotten Tomatoes is reason enough to bring back a second season of the British black comedy Am I Being Unreasonable? Written by and starring Daisy Cooper and Selin Hizli, the show is a beautifully dark concoction of betrayal, female friendship, family and unfiltered honesty. Cooper and Hizli met at drama school, although their friendship didn't get off to the best start. Hizli told The Independent that Cooper compared her to Lily Allen for her arrogance. Evidently, the two got over their differences, and TV is all the better for it.

It's hard to think of much that could've been added (or taken away) from their series to make it any better. The laughs were in the right place, the twists took everyone by surprise and the darker moments left viewers a little creeped-out. Season 2 is due to come out next year with, hopefully, the same...

A good plot twist can be the making of an unforgettable TV show. If a storyline has been a little tedious, the right unexpected scene can make all the difference in getting viewers' approvals. Whether in comedy, drama or horror, audiences don't always want to be able to predict the plot mid-way. Otherwise, what's the point of carrying on watching?

The other side of that is that a show can appear to be building up to something utterly unpredictable, only for it to fall flat and not be as exciting as one might hope. There are plenty of writers and creators who have managed to get their twists just right. For the British TV industry, a number of shows have been hailed for their overall excellent plot, which is underlined with an unforgettable twist that no one saw coming.

Stags is a fun new show on Paramount+ that blends action and comedy in a way not too dissimilar to that of The Hangover series. But this time, we’re riffing on British stag dos – which opens up a whole world of potential disaster for our leading characters. Two of which we had the pleasure of speaking to, chatting to the stag himself, played by Nico Mirallegro, alongside Paul Forman.

We discuss their own experiences on stag dos, and what they make of our stag-do culture in Britain. They also talk about how much fun they had making the show, collaborating with other talented comedic actors such as Charlie Cooper and Asim Chaudhry…

Synopsis

Groom-to-be Stu (Nico Mirallegro: Passenger) and his friends on his stag do in South America. What was meant to be a week of drink, debauchery and fun takes a dark turn.

Paramount+ UK has commissioned a new drama series, “Stags,” created by Daniel Cullen and produced by Eleven Film. The six-part series will offer a twist on the traditional bachelor party narrative. Stags centers on Stu, the groom-to-be, played by Nico Mirallegro, and his diverse group of friends, including Charlie Cooper, […]

Warning: this Inside No. 9 review contains plot spoilers.

Nine characters! And we knew them all in what, under three minutes? That has to be some kind of screenwriting record. You can watch hours and hours of other shows and come away barely on nodding terms with the lead roles. Here, inside a few lines of dialogue, it was easy to imagine the “Boo to a Goose” ensemble – Gerry, Edith, Elena, Wilma, Cleo, Harold, Raymond, Finn and Mossy – walking off the screen and into their lives.

Well, until that final reveal it was easy to imagine. After that, things turned excitingly unfamiliar.

What began as a morality play about prejudice and compassion twisted into a dystopian sci-fi based on that most Inside No. 9 of Inside No. 9 things – a pun. What if, asks the episode, the “replacement service” sent to the trapped passengers on a Liverpool underground train wasn’t replacing the train,...

“They say a guilty conscience can eat you alive…” Those words are key to Christian Kang Bachini’s directorial debut, which he made on a shoestring budget while performing most of the jobs including editing, starring as the lead, and performing his own stunts. With such dedication put into this work, Escalation is truly a labour of love.

Set in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Chris is avoiding all human contact while making himself dinner. While speaking on the phone to a friend, he is confronted about past promises that he chose to not fulfil, preferring to escape from reality into the horror film that is on the TV. However, the ensuing night will leave him faced with what kind of person he is through gruesome circumstances.

Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith’s anthology show Inside No 9 will begin broadcasting its final series on 8th May, here are the details.

You have to take your hat off to Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith. By the end of the next series, The League Of Gentlemen stars will have written 55 completely new, original comedy dramas, complete with shocks, surprises and twists aplenty. We’re talking about the majestic Inside No 9.

From the silent shenanigans of the wonderful A Quiet Night In (which featured Charlie Chaplin’s granddaughter Oona Chaplin) to the astonishing drama of The Twelve Days Of Christine and, arguably the greatest episode, beautiful ode to double acts Bernie Clifton’s Dressing Room, if you’ve never had the pleasure, it is a series well worth delving into.

Perhaps appropriately, the upcoming series will be the last.

Actor Timothée Chalamet is a critical darling, with many of his films receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews alongside commercial success. He was also nominated for a Best Actor Academy Award for his work in 2017’s Call Me by Your Name. However, despite a glowing career of critical acclaim, one film in Chalamet’s filmography remains a catastrophic failure.

Olivia Wilde in Love the Coopers

In 2015, Chalamet starred in the star-studded Holiday comedy film Love the Coopers. However, despite featuring the likes of Olivia Wilde and Diane Keaton, the film could not be saved from being a critical mistake in Chalamet’s career, becoming his lowest-rated film. Here is why Love the Coopers failed despite boasting one of the best ensemble casts for a comedy film.

As Reece Shearsmith just announced, it’s the beginning of the end for Inside No. 9. Filming on the horror-comedy anthology’s ninth and final series began in late 2023, which means a wrap on one of the BBC’s most consistently entertaining and inventive shows is imminent.

Fox will not be moving ahead with “Welcome to Flatch” Season 3.

“While audience response was not as strong as we had hoped, we were thrilled with the creativity of the enormously talented Jenny Bicks and Paul Feig, as well as the outstanding, dedicated cast and crew they assembled,” a Fox spokesperson told TheWrap. “We look forward to collaborating with them again in the future and are thankful for all of our partners at Lionsgate, Jenny’s Perkins Street Productions, Paul’s Feigco Entertainment, BBC Studios’ Angie Stephenson and Charlie Cooper and Daisy May Cooper.”

Shortly after the WGA strike started in May, Fox announced updates for its scripted series. The only two series the network hadn’t made an announcement about were “Welcome to Flatch” and “HouseBroken,” both of which were up for a third season.

Fox is further paring down its live action comedy roster.

Fox has canceled the comedy series “Welcome to Flatch” after two seasons, Variety has learned.

The mockumentary series aired its final episode on Fox on Feb. 2, with that now serving as the series finale. The show was inspired by the British format “This Country.”

Bas is an artist who’s always looking to evolve, whether it’s his sound, his stage performance, or his lyrics. And when you hear about his upbringing, that need to constantly diversify makes sense.

“I have four older siblings, and they all kind of imparted their musical taste on me,” the rapper told Rolling Stone Radio hosts Jon Weigell and Charlie Cooper. “My father was a career diplomat, so I was born in Paris, moved to NYC when I was eight, and spent a few years in the Middle East and Qatar.

She may be a relatively new artist, but Ice Spice is familiar with the grind. Growing up, her dad was an underground NYC rapper. She never went to see him perform, but she remembers tagging along as he hustled. “He was always distributing CDs,” she told Rolling Stone Radio host Jon Weigell. “I’d take the road trips with him to Rhode Island or wherever for a couple of hours. It was just us and it was fun. I remember sitting in the back of the car, and he’s...

When Jean Deaux says she’s always creating, she means always. The rapper/singer/songwriter from Chicago has made it a goal to put out music every year after releasing her debut EP, Krash, in 2018. Jean Deaux has been like this her entire life in fact. As a kindergartener, she remembers trying to write chapter books. “It’s funny because it was about my Uncle Bo, but I said my uncle had a farm which was totally a lie. Even the teachers were like, ‘Uncle Bo’s Farm? That’s hard,...

Westside Boogie is objectively cool. Before you even consider the unmistakable voice or the slow beats-driven songs, the Compton-born rapper is the rare case of someone who completely turned his life around after once being part of a gang. These days, he makes it a point through his music to set an example for other young Black men that it’s good to embrace your emotions and be vulnerable. (He tries to make the same point in person to neighbors whenever he goes back home.) But no matter how much...

Songwriting singer-saxophonist Masego is a musician who’s excited for where he’s going but never forgets where he’s been. At this summer’s Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, he literally brought out the first saxophone his mother ever purchased for him and played it for thousands. You can expect that artistic artifact will be in tow with Masego as he tours throughout Europe to end of the year, too.

“I had to keep that, my momma spent her money on it,” Masego joked when talking to Rolling Stone Radio co-host Charlie Cooper.

It’s hard to understand why you don’t hear more Smino on the radio. Each and every track from the Chicago-via-St. Louis rapper is something of a musical kaleidoscope—they’re packed with varying images and sensations, and even on the same album a different aspect can come to the forefront with every song. You might get Outkast or D’Angelo vibes one minute then hear gospel or reggae influence the next.

Being hard to classify might be one way to be underplayed, but don’t call the rapper underrated.

It’s immediately obvious to anyone who hears her work: Alex Isley has spent her entire life surrounded by music. The singer-songwriter mixes in all kinds of influences—jazz, classical, R&b, electronica, etc.—on her latest record, Marigold. And the results will appeal to you whether you like Solange, Sade, or Sarah Vaughan. Take it from Rolling Stone Radio co-host Charlie Cooper.

“Such a vibe,” Cooper said as Isley shared her track, “Such A Thing,” on the latest show. “I feel like I could wake up to this every morning.

When I first heard about Am I Being Unreasonable?, I assumed it was some satire on the parenting website Mumsnet. The people on it spend an inordinate amount of their supposedly busy days discussing difficult tradespeople or the unsavoury sexual habits of their “Dh” (Dear Husband). Oftentimes they seek validation for their actions from their fellow members, by asking “…am I being unreasonable?” Or “Aibu” in the Mumsnet argot.

The latest comedy vehicle from This Country’s creator and star Daisy May Cooper isn’t about Mumsnet as such, except that the character she plays, Nic, inhabits a quintessentially middle-class English environment (Cooper’s native Cotswolds by the looks of things), and she seems prone to asking the most intimate questions about herself on Mumsnet. She has a nice house, a clever little son who’s more mature than she is, and an eccentric cleaning lady. She struggles to make friends in the village,...

You don’t have to have seen Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap to enjoy wonderful theatreland-set, whodunnit See How They Run. Nor does it spoil things if you have (you probably still wont guess the ending of the film). Nor do you need a working knowledge of Agatha Christie herself, the peculiar contract that exists around The Mousetrap, 1950s London, Richard Attenborough and other real-life celebrities of the time, or indeed Tom Stoppard’s play The Real Inspector Hound. But part of the beauty of this incredibly meta, zippy, crime caper is that after the credits roll you’re probably going to want to do a bit of googling.

Set in London in the early ’50s, See How They Run sees The Mousetrap celebrating its 100th performance. The cast includes the celebrated Richard Attenborough (perfectly embodied by Harris Dickinson) and his wife Sheila Sim (Pearl Chanda), meanwhile obnoxious Hollywood director...
