Prime Video is rounding out the series regular cast for The Runarounds, a fictional YA drama, inspired by the real band of the same name, from the creators of Outer Banks and Skydance TV. Brooklyn Decker (Grace & Frankie), Maximo Salas (Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies), Marley Aliah, Hayes MacArthur (Angie Tribeca), Mark Wystrach (The Eyes of Tammy Faye) and Shea Pritchard (The Summer I Turned Pretty) join previously announced real-life band members William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock, and Jesse Golliher—along with Lilah Pate and Kelley Pereira. The band was previously featured in a Season 3 episode of Outer Banks, which is heading into its fourth season on Netflix.

Filming will begin this month. The series is set to premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

Like Outer Banks, the series is set in Wilmington, Nc.

Ivan Decker’s new comedy special, Popcorn, is out exclusively on 800 Pound Gorilla Media.

Popcorn is a culmination and celebration of everything that has happened in Decker’s life since his last special on Netflix — including stealing a baby from Whole Foods and attempting to raise it as his own.

Known for his unique observational edge, Decker shares his very personal experiences about being married and a first-time father while trying to balance touring around the world. His material is relatable, especially his passion for popcorn and how to make it “last in your mouth to postpone it’s delicious good feeling for later on.”

He says popcorn gives you a “rush of serotonin and dopamine that is better than any drugs;” hence, the ultimate inspiration for title of his special.

Taped in Victoria, B.C., the special was executive produced by Ian Arougheti and Justin SIlvera and was directed by Peter Carlone.

Mandy Moore is celebrating her ex Andy Roddick on the anniversary of his U.S. Open victory.

The “This Is Us” actress took to her Instagram Story on Monday to share her praise for the tennis legend and post a link to a recent GQ profile.

“Andy was a really formative part of my young adult life and although we’re not in touch, I was really moved by this article reflecting on the 20th anniversary of his US Open win and the kind of life he’s lead [sic] since,” wrote Moore, who dated Roddick from 2003 to 2004.

“I’m so happy for him and his family,” Moore added. “Congrats on this milestone, Andy!”

Roddick’s wife, Brooklyn Decker, also took to Instagram on Monday to share the article, and shared a sweet and supportive exchange with Moore, who commented on Decker’s post.

“I loved this article...

Few works of pop culture have a higher barrier to entry than “On Cinema at the Cinema,” but even fewer are as rewarding to new viewers willing to invest countless hours of their lives. Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington’s longtime Adult Swim series is ostensibly a parody of syndicated movie review shows like “Siskel & Ebert & the Movies,” with the entirety of each episode taking place on a chintzy talk show set. But over the course of 12 seasons and countless spinoffs, it has evolved into something much, much weirder.

Each episode features Heidecker and Turkington hosting their own public access show about movies, with the two men reviewing films they clearly haven’t seen (a running gag is that every single film receives a perfect “five bags of popcorn” rating). But the real action begins when the reviews end, as they frequently devote a majority of their airtime...

After winning the U.S. Dramatic Grand Jury Prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, Nikyatu Jusu‘s acclaimed horror movie Nanny was picked up by Blumhouse and Amazon, and we recently learned that it’s first coming to movie theaters on November 23, 2022.

Nanny will then debut on Amazon Prime Video on December 16, 2022.

Watch the official Nanny trailer from Prime Video below.

“Anna Diop (Us) stars as a Senegalese immigrant nanny working for a privileged couple in NYC. As she prepares for the arrival of the son she left behind in West Africa, a violent presence invades her reality, threatening the American Dream she is painstakingly piecing together.”

Michelle Monaghan (The Craft: Legacy), Sinqua Walls (The 15:17 to Paris), Morgan Spector (The Gilded Age), and Rose Decker (Mare of Easttown) also star in Nanny.

Jason Blum said in a statement, “We’re proud to have writer/director Nikyatu Jusu...

Chicago – As a TV and Movie Star, Sally Kellerman may not be a household name, but as an influencer in the “New American Cinema” of the 1970s she was everywhere. In addition, her TV appearances in the 1960s featured a variety of roles in many of the iconic series of the era, including the original “Star Trek.” She’s probably best known for her movie role as Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan in ‘Mash’ (1970), for which she scored an Oscar nomination. Kellerman died on February 24th, 2022, at age 84.

Sally Claire Kellerman was born in Long Beach, California, and attended Hollywood High School, where her singing voice got noticed by Verve Records … but at the time she was too shy to take the offer. She took on acting classes from noted instructor Jeff Corey in Los Angeles, with classmates like Jack Nicholson and Dean Stockwell. Her first film role was in...

Magnolia Pictures has nabbed North American rights to “Mister America,” a feature-length comedy that’s being billed as an extension of the world of “On Cinema,” the cult Adult Swim show.

The film stars “On Cinema” hosts Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington and follows Heidecker’s attempt to enter the world of politics. Eric Notarnicola, who previously oversaw several episodes of the show along with its 2018 Oscar special, directs. Magnolia is eyeing a fall theatrical release.

In the movie, Heidecker beats a murder charge for selling faulty e-cigarettes at an Edm festival, and mounts a campaign to unseat the San Bernardino District Attorney. His effort to win voters tries to overcome a lack of experience and funding by leaning into the candidate’s personal likability. It does not go well.

“We unleashed Tim into the real world to run the worst campaign in modern history, and document the process,” said Notarnicola in a statement.

We don't usually track the ratings of Adult Swim TV series, so this is a bit of an experiment for us. Likewise, the Decker TV show has been a bit of an experiment for the Cartoon Network's adult programming block. The live-action comedy first ran as a web series on AdultSwim.com, before it premiered on television, in 2016. Now in its third season on the cable channel, will Decker be cancelled or renewed for season four? Stay tuned. From Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington, the Decker TV show stars Heidecker, Turkington, Joe Estevez, James Mane Jr., Mark Proksch, and John Aprea. The Adult Swim cast also includes Simone Turkington, Sally Kellerman, Ralph Lucas, Jimmy McNichol, Charlie Schiefer, Manuel Giusti, and Rizi Timane.

This is the first new “Awesome Show” episode since the duo’s December 2010 “Chrimbus Special,” which capped the show’s five season run.

In the meantime, the duo have worked with Adult Swim on several other projects,...

As Decker creators and stars Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington prepare for another season of the web series-turned-Adult Swim show about a conservative CIA agent and his codebreaking partner, the duo stopped by Rolling Stone's office to turn their attention to music.

The On Cinema stars discussed their musical idols, why Tupac Shakur's Poetic Justice was a "popcorn classic" and the unanswerable question: "How do you get more songs?"

Adult Swim has announced the second season of the Decker TV show -- Decker: Unsealed -- will premiere on "Sunday, June 4th, at Midnight E/P on Adult Swim." I'm quoting verbatim from the press release. Now, while it seems they mean one minute past 11:59pm on Sunday, check your local listings to be sure, because every (administrative) thing this show does drives me out of my order-thirsty mind.Decker ran for three seasons as an online series. Last year, it premiered on TV, in Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block as season one of Decker: Unclassified.

Some really cool news has come out of the Cartoon Network camp today. Variety announced that Cartoon Network's Adult Swim has some pretty awesome plans to ensure that their current, future, and past fan bases will all be entertained. One of the steps they are taking is to bring us new episodes of Samurai Jack. Earlier this year, Adult Swim announced the series revival would be coming, but this solidifies their plans, and there are a ton of other new announcements that Cn has revealed:

The Time Warner-owned cable programmer that tilts toward millennial viewers and younger generations with animated fare shown in primetime and overnights, said it would release more original programming via streaming video for daytime viewing as part of an effort to spur its audience to increase consumption of its oddball but cult-favorite content.The outlet "simply knows its audience," said Christina Miller, president and general manager,...

Move over Alicia Vikander —it looks like 2015 is going to belong to Gregg Turkington. The host of the one of the most important film criticism shows ever, "On Cinema At The Cinema," Turkington has been quietly showing off his tremendous acting talent. After impressing with his guest turn on "Decker," Marvel snatched him up for "Ant-Man" earlier this year in a key role, and just like that, he's now leading his own movie, "Entertainment." Read More: Sundance Review: Rick Alverson's 'Entertainment' Is A Twisted, Existential Comedic Masterwork Of course, I'm being a bit cheeky, but the picture comes from Rick Alverson, the man behind "The Comedy," and this time around, with a script co-written by both Turkington and Tim Heidecker, he puts together a unique, oddball movie about an aging comedian. Here's the official synopsis: A broken, aging comedian tours the California desert, lost in a cycle of third-rate venues,...

Over five seasons, Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington have been changing the face of film criticism with "On Cinema At The Cinema" on Adult Swim. The pair has brought audiences unbiased reviews, pure movie passion, and thus a much needed voice in the stale arena of movie journalism, but as season five wound down, problems began to surface between the duo. An apparently troubled Heidecker left the show in the hands of Turkington, and headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, leaving many to wonder what the future of the program might be. Well, not only has season six returned, but so too has Heidecker, taking the reins once again after the debut episode hosted by Turkington alone. And late last week, I got on the phone with both of them to talk about the new season of the show, whether they can put the focus back on the movies and away from Heidecker's personal life,...
