Spoilers: This post contains details about the Yellowjackets, Season 3 episode ’12 Angry Girls and 1 Drunk Travis’

Court is in session on Yellowjackets as the team officially approaches (another) point of no return.

Ahead of this week’s episode of the Showtime series, Sophie Nélisse and Steven Krueger spoke to Deadline about Shauna’s newfound influence and Coach Scott’s “f—ed up” trial after he was accused of burning down the team’s cabin.

“I think Shauna sees this as an opportunity to regain power,” said Nélisse. “Not that she doesn’t care so much about the trial, but I don’t think she’s quite grasping the scope of what she’s doing and understanding the ramifications of what this might imply.”

Although Krueger’s Ben Scott seems to have convinced his former students of his innocence, Shauna (Nélisse) intimidates her fellow teammates into finding him guilty, still resentful over...

The Berlinale is just the start of a big 2025 for Catalan films, filmmakers and companies. Several high-profile Catalan buzz titles are currently shooting or in post-production and are slated to debut later in the year, while others are presently kicking off promising festival runs.

Former Berlin Golden Bear winner Carla Simon (“Alcarràs”) will debut “Romería,” currently in post, about a woman’s journey to meet her biological father’s family after he dies of AIDS. It’s a hugely personal project as the disease took both of Simon’s parents’ lives when she was just six years old.

In commercial terms, especially domestically, few films have more box office potential than Borja Cobeaga’s “Los Aitas,” an all-ages comedy about a group of middle-aged dads accompanying their daughters on an international gymnastics trip.

Miguel Ángel Jiménez’s brutally stylish 1970s-set dark comedy “The Birthday Party” stars Willem Dafoe alongside an ensemble of top Spanish talent.

90 Day Fiance star Florian Sukaj has made a name for himself as one of the most controversial cast members of 90 Day: The Last Resort Season 2. Aside from his shocking reveals, Florian also raised some eyebrows for his disturbing behavior, especially when he’s under the influence of alcohol. Some Redditors are also fed up with him following his most recent rants. Keep reading to see the discussion.

90 Day Fiance: Florian Sukaj’s Shocking Revelation

One of the most shocking revelations in the second season of 90 Day: The Last Resort was Florian’s suspicious relationship with his sister-in-law, Darcey. According to Stacey, her twin sister would call her husband in the middle of the night to have long chats. She added that Darcey would start calling Florian when her husband, Georgi, sleeps. Florian didn’t deny the accusations and even revealed that Darcey encouraged him to return to being single.

It seems like enough is enough at this point. If he could find a way to make it all stop, there’s no doubt that he would.

Sister Wives Viewers Can’t Stand Kody Brown

Most Sister Wives fans are sick and tired of hearing the family use the word “unsafe” to describe uncomfortable situations they don’t want to deal with. Kody recently used it in an episode to describe his relationship with Meri, which sent fans over the edge.

So you’re hungry, and you want to eat something healthy. Maybe a salad. Whoops. Romaine lettuce and spinach are prolific carriers of foodborne pathogens (a 2006 baby spinach contamination led to a severe E. coli outbreak). Ok, so maybe a chicken sandwich. Not so fast: It remains industry practice to sell raw chicken infected by salmonella. How about a wholesome peanut butter sandwich? Well, peanuts, too, have a bad salmonella history.

“Surfside,” a documentary series about the 2021 collapse of Champlain Towers, is under way from director Stephanie Soechtig and former “E! News” host Jason Kennedy.

The Champlain Towers South was a 12-story condominium in Miami’s Surfside community that partially collapsed on June 24, 2021. The event resulted in the deaths of 98 people, becoming one of the deadliest structural failures in U.S. history.

The three-part documentary series will investigate the possible causes of the collapse by examining the 40-year history of the building, as well as the 2018 re-inspection process that revealed severe issues with the infrastructure that were swept under the rug. The series will feature first-hand accounts from survivors and never-before-seen footage of the event, and a recreation of a seven-minute escape through the building during the collapse.

“Initially, we were approaching it as a feature doc, but it quickly became clear that there was too much to tell in a 90-minute film.

Exclusive: Freida Pinto is expanding her relationship with eOne, signing a first-look deal with the indie studio for her Freebird Films Entertainment. Under the pact, Freebird Films, run by Pinto and her producing partner Emily Verellen Strom, will develop series for broadcast, cable and streaming with a focus on content highlighting the experience of women – especially among diverse and underrepresented groups.

The deal comes as Pinto and Strom are developing as executive producers a limited series adaptation of Anuradha Bhagwati’s memoir Unbecoming for eOne, with Pinto attached to star. Freebird Films is also in negotiations for additional books and articles to adapt.

“We are delighted to partner with Freida and Emily in their vision to prioritize diverse stories about women for all audiences,” said Jacqueline Sacerio, eOne’s EVP Scripted Television. “Their combined world view and creative insight will mesh well with our goal of creating content that resonates with viewers everywhere.

The filmmakers behind “Tiger” and “Fed Up” are teaming with the producer of “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” on a new investigative documentary into food safety.

Entitled “Poisoned,” the film will be directed by Stephanie Soechtig and executive produced by Jeff Benedict and produced by Ross Dinerstein’s Campfire. It will be based on Benedict’s book, “Poisoned: The True Story of the Deadly E. Coli Outbreak That Changed the Way Americans Eat.”

“‘Poisoned’ began with my interest in writing about the Jack in the Box E. coli infections in 1993 that sickened over 750 children, four of whom died,” said Benedict in a statement. “But once I entered that world, it became clear the story was much bigger than one outbreak. It’s the same broken system behind each of these horrific events, and while we’ve become more vigilant about what we eat, the issues plaguing the industry rage on.”

50 States of Fright, an urban legends-based horror anthology series bound for Quibi, reveals an impressive cast roster.

Quibi, the Jeffrey Katzenberg-backed 2020-launching streaming platform designed for short-form stories, has announced a most intriguing offering amongst its 40-project-deep backlog, a horror anthology series, titled 50 States of Fright, which has corralled quite the cast and crew, notably with genre legend Sam Raimi – the movie maestro of the Evil Dead cinematic and television franchise and crucial comic book cinema of the Spider-Man Trilogy – tapped to develop and even direct an entry.

Rachel Brosnahan, Travis Fimmel, Christina Ricci, Asa Butterfield, Jacob Batalon, Ming-Na Wen, Taissa Farmiga, John Marshall Jones and Ron Livingston are just some of the names lined up to fill 50 States of Fright’s anthology episodes, which each culling content from American urban legends and folklore.

The official greenlight has been given for 50 States of Fright,...

Quibi has given a green light to 50 States of Fright, a horror anthology series, from Gunpowder & Sky’s Alter horror brand, Diga Studios and executive producer Sam Raimi. Cast includes Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Travis Fimmel, Christina Ricci, Jacob Batalon, Ming-Na Wen, Taissa Farmiga, Asa Butterfield, John Marshall Jones and Ron Livingston, who each will star in an episode of the upcoming series.

The first season will explore stories based on urban legends from Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Oregon and Washington taking viewers deeper into the horrors that lurk just beneath the surface of our country.

Following “An Inconvenient Sequel,” “The Cove,” and “Chasing Ice,” a pointed and thorough environmental documentary can have a lasting impact on the global conversation around pollution and climate change. Three-time Sundance filmmaker Stephanie Soechtig has been a leading voice in the genre, and adds yet another environmental atrocity to the pile in her fourth feature film, “The Devil We Know.” The film takes aim at powerful corporations such as Dupont and 3M, following a group of West Virginia whistleblowers who claim both companies knew of the harmful environmental properties of the patented chemical Teflon, and covered it up for decades.

Per the official synopsis: “Unraveling one of the biggest environmental scandals of our time, a group of citizens in West Virginia take on a powerful corporation after they discover it has knowingly been dumping a toxic chemical – now found in the blood of 99.7% of Americans – into the drinking water supply.

The list of modern conveniences that will sooner or later take a toll on your — or somebody’s — health gets a lot longer with “The Devil We Know.” Stephanie Soechtig’s documentary exposes the apparently decades-long efforts by the DuPont corporation to deny the adverse effects of chemicals used in the manufacture of Teflon kitchenware, which they knew about at least as early as 1982. They’re still denying them, even as birth defects and other problems have increasingly surfaced among factory workers and nearby residents whose water has become polluted with industrial waste.

This cogent, powerful indictment will most likely make its primary impact in small-screen exposure — though the Trumpian war on industrial and environmental regulation lends it a particularly urgent relevancy. The Sundance-premiered feature is slated for a broadcast debut on PBS’ “Pov” series later this year.

The ups and downs of motherhood have the Kardashian-Jenner ladies consumed.

As Kim and Khloé Kardashian battled to buy mom Kris Jenner‘s love, Kim decided to move forward with her surrogate in Sunday’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Meanwhile, Kourtney refused to discuss her new relationship with her sisters.

Vying for Kris’ Love

The fight to be Kris’ favorite daughter started when the momager, 62, mentioned to Kim and Khloé how Kylie, 20, has been “so much nicer” to her lately. So Khloé, 33, decided to compete for Kris’ heart by rearranging her mom’s pantry in the likeness of her own hyper-organized kitchen.

Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Robert Aldrich's Autumn Leaves (1956) is playing October 22 - November 21, 2017 on Mubi in the United Kingdom. Autumn Leaves is the story of what happens to a Robert Aldrich hero after the Robert Aldrich movie ends. Vicious, cynical, and borderline nihilistic, Aldrich’s movies churned idealistic characters through crucibles of violence and disillusionment. He adored stories of marginalized nobodies forced to face impossible odds: murderers-turned-World War Two commandos in The Dirty Dozen (1967); desperate Chiricahua Apache raiders in Ulzana’s Raid (1972); a football team of prison inmates in The Longest Yard (1974); escaped military prisoners in Twilight’s Last Gleaming (1977). For these men—and they were usually men—death was one of the kindest fates possible. Existential meaninglessness, the pointlessness of moral causes, the uselessness of idealism: these were the fates they truly feared. And for Aldrich, these were the just rewards...

Hey Lrm Weekenders, this week we're featuring some of the most intriguing, powerful, and successful women in Hollywood. Its easy to become fixated on our male action stars, since that's how Hollywood tends to market their films, so we sometimes fail to recognize the contributions and accomplishments of our female action stars! But first, we want to discuss the elephant in the room: the dwindling audiences at movie theaters -- we'll explore some problems, one potential solution, and hopefully provide some insight into an issue that's only going to get worse if everything remains status quo.

Blac Chyna is hoping to come to a peaceful resolution with ex-fiancé Rob Kardashian in the wake of his social media rampage against her.

On Monday, Chyna appeared at Los Angeles Superior Court with her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, where the reality star was granted temporary restraining orders against Kardashian, which included barring him from posting about her on social media and sharing photos of their daughter, Dream, or her eldest child King Cairo. But while the mother of two is currently at odds with Kardashian, she isn’t concerned about the relationship he has with baby Dream.

Morgan Spurlock has joined forces with consumer activist Erin Brockovich and “Fed Up” director Stephanie Soechtig to help bring the new documentary “The Devil We Know” to audiences. The film, currently in post-production, centers on the toxic chemical C8, which is found in countless consumer products and contaminated the town of Parkersburg, West Virginia, where Spurlock was born and raised.

“The Devil We Know” centers on “one of the greatest environmental scandals of our time,” Spurlock said in an Indiegogo video shot to help raise post-production funds for the film. Found in the blood of 99.7 percent of Americans, C8 is used in the making of Teflon, invented by DuPont, one of the largest chemical companies in the world, and is also found in consumer products ranging from carpeting to dental floss to waterproof clothing and pizza boxes. “The Devil We Know” is directed and produced by Soechtig and executive produced by Spurlock.

The story of how C8 contaminated the town of Parkersburg was also the subject of a 2016 New York Times Magazine story. Studies have linked exposure to the chemical to diseases including kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease and more.

“With the Trump administration gutting the Epa and filling its ranks with chemical industry insiders, the timing of this film is more important than ever,” Spurlock said in the Indiegogo video.

“If you don’t learn from the past, you’re condemned to repeat it again,” Ricky Whittle, the star of the upcoming Starz series American Gods, tells Et. While the sentiment could easily apply to his onscreen character, Shadow, who after an unexpected early release from prison is recruited by Mr. Wednesday (Ian McShane) to be the mysterious man’s bodyguard as he travels across the U.S., the English actor is actually referring to his time on The CW series The 100, which saw his character (and fan favorite), Lincoln, killed off after two seasons in a controversial exit from the show.

Shortly after the episode aired last year, Whittle spoke out against The 100 creator and showrunner Jason Rothenberg. “[He] abused his position to make my job untenable. What he did was disgusting and he should be ashamed,” the actor told The Hollywood Reporter. “He was professionally bullying me, cutting out all...

As one of the principals of Imagine Entertainment, along with Brian Grazer, Howard has been involved as an executive producer on countless TV projects in recent years, and famously even narrated “Arrested Development.” But directing was a different story – until now.

Howard directed the first episode of “Genius,” National Geographic’s new scripted anthology series, which focuses on Albert Einstein in Season 1. Based on Walter Isaacson’s critically acclaimed book “Einstein: His Life and Universe,” and adapted by writer Noah Pink, the cast includes Geoffrey Rush (“The Secret Life of Peter Sellers”) as the elder Einstein and Johnny Flynn...

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film and TV critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday. (The answer to the second, “What is the best film in theaters right now?”, can be found at the end of this post.)

This week’s question: What is the best film (or film-related) podcast?

There are a great many podcasts in my life — from the ones I host to the ones hosted by close friends — so it’s hard to approach this subject without wanting to selfishly yell “One Perfect Pod!” Okay, now that we’ve got that out of the way, here’s a real favorite: “The Mothership,” from the folks at USA Today. More importantly, it involves two of my favorite Twitter pals Brian Truitt and Kelly Lawler. Its mandate is broad, which means there’s video game and comics talk...

They’ve yet again sparked reconciliation rumors after being spotted out for dinner together on Wednesday night, but Kim Kardashian West doesn’t think her brother Rob and his ex-fiancée Blac Chyna are right for one another.

In a sneak peek at Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim, 36, heads over to Rob’s house to comfort him after an explosive fight with Chyna.

“Rob started Snapchatting his thoughts and his feelings, and that’s really not like him,” says Kim, referencing Rob’s emotional Snapchat story last December, in which he tearfully documented his empty home...

The first show of the Brooklyn-gentrification era, a pre-Trump celebration/critique of female brazenness, an endless think-piece generator, Lena Dunham's launching pad from indie filmmaker to celebrity, one of the most enduring signifiers of that nebulous concept known as "the millennial" – love it or hate it, Girls has been an undeniably potent piece of popular culture during its five-year, six-season run. At the 2012 TCAs, shortly before the HBO show's pilot premiered, the soon-to-be "voice of my generation" was quoted as saying, "Gossip Girl was teens duking it out on...

Jack Cassidy -- nephew of David Cassidy and grandson of The Partridge Family's Shirley Jones -- took steps to find his place in his family's musical heritage by competing in The Voice's blind auditions on Monday.

Before coming out to perform for the panel of judges, Cassidy sat down for a pre-recorded segment, where he opened up about his background.

"I come from a very musical family," Cassidy shared. "Growing up, everyone was a singer and everyone had their own careers. It's just been this searching and this struggle to find out who I was."

Cassidy has turned his life to religion and helping the less fortunate, and in turn has made soulful worship music his niche. He says he sees The Voice as an opportunity to help further his goals and "really carry on the family legacy."

As a 16-year-old model, Hunter McGrady spent hours toiling away in the gym and starving herself to maintain her 114-lb., size-2/4 frame. But she was miserable — and she wasn’t booking jobs.

“My hips were always the bigger part of my body, and I was already so thin that I couldn’t keep shaving them down. I physically could not. And everyone was telling me that I could,” McGrady, 23, tells People. “At that time I thought my dreams of becoming a model were crushed.”

And when she did get gigs, they weren’t going well.

“I walked into one of...

Since the start of their relationship, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna‘s ups and downs have been made very public.

On Thursday, People confirmed that the pair have ended their year-long relationship and engagement.

“They split a while ago. The wedding plans are off,” a source close to Kardashian told People. “They are both trying to be mature about it. It was less dramatic this time.”

But was Kardashian’s last Snapchat meltdown the beginning of the end?

It all started nearly a week before Christmas on a Saturday afternoon (Dec. 17) after the model’s Instagram account was hacked. The...

A fine 20th Fox entry for the 3-D craze of 1953, the adventure thriller Inferno is often labeled a film noir in the desert. Despite the presence of a scheming, murderous wife, the noir quotient here is minimal — it’s just a straight survival tale with a homicidal twist. An odd UK-only release licensed by a small independent company, the Blu-ray 3-D is well encoded...
