The SNL season 47 cast was announced earlier this week, and while much of the attention was paid to leave Beck Bennett leaving the show and Lorne Michaels finally finding his Trump (and Elton John) in James Austin Johnson, it’s worth highlighting that Emmy nominee Bowen Yang and Chloe Fineman were bumped up to reparatory players.
Yang had his breakout sketch playing the iceberg that sank the Titanic, while Fineman is SNL‘s best impressionist (her audition involved impressions of Winona Ryder, Hannah Gadsby, and Cynthia Nixon). She showed off her skills during Thursday’s episode of The Tonight Show.
Host Jimmy Fallon and Fineman had a conversation where she used different celebrity voices, including Natalie Portman, Meryl Streep, Jennifer Lawrence (it’s while watching this clip that I realized Timothée Chalamet is the male J-Law — I will not explain this further), Keira Knightley, and Elizabeth Holmes. But my personal favorite is her Jennifer Coolidge. She even has The White Lotus star’s mannerisms down.
“I think naturally the people I want to do impressions of, I’m obsessed with them,” Fineman told Harper’s Bazaar about who she decides to impersonate. “And I find them wonderful, and want to share them with the world.” You can watch The Tonight Show clip above.
October is upon us, and with it comes new records that are perfectly timed to soundtrack the changing of the leaves. This week, Steve and Ian are digging into Let Me Have One More, the anticipated new record from Illuminati Hotties, as well as Strand Of Oaks’ In Heaven. Both artists represent relatively opposite ends of the Indiecast-core spectrum — Illuminati Hotties have perfected a brand of irreverent, anti-capitalist alternative rock while Tim Showalter’s music style tends to lean into more atmospheric soundscapes and a folk-forward songwriting style.
In this week’s Recommendation Corner, Ian is getting ready for fall with True Love, the new album from vibey Austin duo Hovvdy. Steve is plugging his recent interview with BJ Burton, the producer who has had a hand in crafting some of the best and most influential albums of the last decade (think: Yeezus, Bon Iver’s 22, A Million, and many more).
New episodes of Indiecast drop every Friday. Listen to Episode 59 on Spotify below, and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts here. You can submit questions for Steve and Ian at [email protected], and make sure to follow us on Instagram and Twitter for all the latest news. We also recently launched a visualizer for our favorite Indiecast moments. Check those out here.
While appearing on MSNBC on Thursday night, former ESPN columnist (and current writer for The Atlantic) Jemele Hill did not hold back her thoughts on Ted Cruz after the Texas senator came out in support of NBA players who are refusing to get vaccinated. Cruz also praised LeBron James, who got the shot but refused to tell others to do the same, which put the NBA star on Whoopi Goldberg’s radar, and you don’t want that. And you probably don’t want Cruz’s praise, either.
“Let me say that if Ted Cruz was standing with me, I’d probably vomit a little bit in my mouth,” Hill said before voicing her concerns about the implications of Republicans backing unvaccinated players, who she believes are already doing enough damage as it is. Via Mediaite:
“You have to sometimes pay attention to who are the people egging you on and — quote, unquote — cheering for you,” Hill said. “That tells you a lot about the stance that you’re taking.”
Hill did point out that more than 90 percent of NBA players are vaccinated — and that the players who garnered attention this week are part of a small minority. Nonetheless, Hill noted that the words of Beal, Irving, and Wiggins could resonate with people of color.
After the segment aired, Hill made it a point to tweet out a clip of her appearance where she reinforced her assertion that just being near Cruz would make her puke.
A totally screwed-up, Shakespearean family, spooky delights, a romcom, and zombies. October is stacked with new TV shows and returning favorites, so you can settle in for fall and avoid people, which is especially handy if you’re still doing the social-distancing thing. Regardless, you’re definitely looking for entertainment if you’re reading this list, so let’s get down to business on what’s worth stuffing into your streaming queue and cable viewing plans. HBO brings a few of the bigger attractions here with the long-awaited return of Succession and Curb Your Enthusiasm, and HBO Max has a few more returning fan-favorite series. Apple TV+ also comes in strong with multiple entries on this list, which range from a sports-drama to a very spooky story.
Naturally, there’s a lot of spooking going on this month, as is customary, so Netflix, Discovery+, and USA Network are bringing those scares. Meanwhile, Hulu and AMC are not to be ignored for their offerings, including a Michael Keaton series and the return of Fear The Walking Dead respectively. Ignore the tricks, for this month is all about treats.
Here are the biggest shows worth noticing in October:
Selena + Chef: Season 3 (HBO Max series streaming TBA)
Selena Gomez has come a long way since her Disney days, including a recent turn in the terrific Only Murders In The Building. Here, she’s totally herself and in an environment that she loves while not pretending at all to be a chef (or have any type of formal training with food) or do anything besides love to eat. The first season landed on HBO Max as the perfect quarantine show, and the trend continues as Selena keeps things real while dabbling further into culinary adventures. It’s simply delightful stuff.
MAID (Netflix series streaming 10/1)
Margaret Qualley (a Once Upon A Time In Hollywood breakout and daughter to Andie MacDowell) stars in this heartbreaking adaptation of Stephanie Land’s New York Times best-selling memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive. This will, clearly, be a difficult watch, but Qualley’s raw portrayal (of a woman who flees an abusive relationship to go through exceedingly difficult times to break the cycle for her daughter) yields a burgeoning star in a juicy role that could yield rewards, if the powers that be are paying attention to perspectives presented in projects like these.
The Haunted Museum: Season 1 (Discovery+ series streaming 10/2)
Eli Roth has so much going on over at Discovery+ this month (following his recent real-life horror/Shark-Week film on the streamer) that one has to wonder… is he running the joint? It’s a valid question, but more to the point, he’s teaming up with Ghost Adventures host Zak Bagans for this scripted anthology series, in which they illuminate nine of the world’s most cursed artifacts. These relics are actually in display in Bagans’ Vegas museum, but here, you’ll get the historic commentary in addition to having the pants scared off of you. (When you’re done with that series, also check out Eli Roth Presents: A Ghost Ruined My Life, streaming on 10/7, to witness personal accounts on those who have survived feeling like they’re been dragged through hell and fought their way back.)
Chucky: Season 1 (SYFY and USA Network series streaming 10/12)
The good-bad news is that the O.G. homicidal doll shall never die. Granted, a mid-2020 teaser that kept things very mysterious regarding who would voice Chucky, but this trailer puts that mystery to rest. Mark Hamill may have been the most recent Chucky, but original voice actor Brad Dourif will return for this USA Network/SyFy sequel series. Also notably, Jennifer Tilly will return as Tiffany Valentine, but this trailer largely focuses on Zackary Arthur’s Jake, who makes the mistake of adopting Chucky at a garage sale. All hell breaks loose, and as Chucky puts it, this will be the “World Series of slaughter.”
Dopesick: Season 1 (Hulu series streaming 10/13)
Michael Keaton (who is still the greatest Batman in history, so don’t mess with him in any role) finally comes to TV beyond cameo mode. Here, he takes on Big Pharma as a physician whose patients are dying off amid an opioid epidemic, and Rosario Dawson portrays one of the heroes who want to take the makers of Oxycontin down. The title of the source material (Dopesick: Dealers, Doctors and the Drug Company that Addicted America, the book by Beth Macy) tells you a lot, but this trailer promises an intense ride, and the cast includes Michael Stuhlbarg and Kaitlyn Dever, who’s in just about everything now and making Justified‘s Loretta proud here.
You: Season 3 (Netflix series streaming 10/15)
Nothing says (twisted) family bonding like two parents digging a grave for their murder victims while an infant sits in his car seat and does his best to amuse himself. Yikes. From the looks of things, this show somehow manages to sustain its own gimmick after a second season of barely containing its own crazy (and careening off a cliff). Near the end of that sophomore round, Stalker Joe (Penn Badgley) found himself trapped in a relationship with a woman, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti), who’s just as homicidal (if not more) as he is. Naturally, it seemed that Joe didn’t quite learn his lesson by the end of the season, and we saw him noticing that he’s got an attractive neighbor that perhaps he might stalk. This sounds like a good time for the ghost of Beck to deliver a lecture, and who knows what shall happen there, but in the Season 3 trailer, Joe appears to be scared out of his mind. (Good!) Love definitely has the upper hand, or so it appears, but Joe’s awfully nervous that his kid will follow in his parents’ footsteps.
I Know What You Did Last Summer: Season 1 (Amazon Prime series streaming 10/15)
Sure, you remember the 1997 film and perhaps you’re aware that that was based upon the 1973 novel by Lois Duncan, but this Amazon Studios collaboration with Sony Pictures Television wants you to relive the nightmare once more. Granted this version doesn’t have Jennifer Love Hewitt, Sarah Michelle Gellar, or Freddie Prinze, but the trailer still looks sufficiently chilling for a new generation, and it’ll be interesting to see how they draw out the story to full-season form, rather than a feature-lengthy movie. These teens, as well, seem more twisted by nature than the O.G. bunch, so perhaps that will add some shading to justify reviving their shared dark secret as they aim to survive.
Succession: Season 3 (HBO series premiering 10/17)
Well, well, well. Jeremy Strong’s Kendall lit this seriously screwed-up family on fire during the last season finale. As a result, Brian Cox’s Logan Roy is ready to go “full f*cking beast,” and that means a lot of things, but one important one: it’s time for everyone to f*ck off. Alexander Skarsgård and Adrien Brody join the club this season, and maybe the Pope (or a pope) is somehow involved, but one thing remains clear throughout this show: alliances are made to be broken. In other words, the familiar civil war is on. No other show besides Deadwood has been able to wield profanity with such adept rhythm, and it’s time to get Shakespearean again up in this motherf*cker while I keep on rooting for Shiv Roy to (finally) dominate all.
Fear The Walking Dead: Season 7 (AMC series premiering 10/15)
This show didn’t shy away from speculation that a possible time jump was in store for this spinoff, and maybe that could have been a way to tie some of The Walking Dead universe threads together. Well, the way that the season ended could have conceivably set up such a jump by sealing many characters into an underground-bunker setting, where presumably, they’d need to stay for years following a detonated nuke in Texas. Yet the way that the action played out seemed to rule out a logical set up to a time jump occurring. In the above teaser, things don’t seem too time-jumpy, at least not in what we’re seeing here. Morgan and Grace awaken in the bunker, and she heads out into the outside world while wearing a protective suit and gazing out into the immediate wasteland before walking past an incapacitated walker on the ground. All of this would lead one to believe that, nope, there’s no leap into the future here, but the good news is that this spinoff found fresh legs last year.
Invasion: Season 1 (Apple TV+ series streaming 10/22)
Apple TV+ has been crushing the outer-space game with All For Mankind, and with this Simon Kinberg sci-fi show, they’re bringing the (dubious) party to planet Earth. Kinberg, of course, has plenty of producing clout under his belt (The Martian, the Deadpool movies, Logan) and he’s teaming up here with procedural-minded director Jakob Verbruggen (The Alienist, The Fall) to focus on individual stories around the globe during the fallout of an alien invasion. There’s some Sam Neill flavor up in here, too, and if there’s a god, he’ll be wearing a hat in this show. Yes, it’s intense-looking show, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance, but a hat can always help.
Curb Your Enthusiasm: Season 11 (HBO series streaming 10/24)
The world needed more Larry David and, by god, he’s giving it to us, even if he’s never gonna drop those curmudgeon ways. Expect the Seinfeld co-creator to bring his usual flavor and more of the iconic theme, so this is pure comfort food for those of us who are weary of all the ways that the world has transformed over the past 20 months or so. Larry hasn’t changed on us, and thank god for that. Rather than focus on the massive problems that reality brings, let us all focus upon the tiny annoyances in life and find comfort in pretending they’re the biggest of problems.
Love Life: Season 2 (HBO Max series streaming 10/28)
Love Life ended up being the HBO Max original show to launch the service, and apparently, the numbers were pretty darn good. Although we don’t know the actual viewership numbers, they were high enough for executive producer Paul Feig to celebrate the show’s solo-act success while speaking with us, and Season 2 is upon us with Anna Kendrick’s Darby passing the baton to a new unlucky-in-love protagonist, Marcus, who will be portrayed by William Jackson Harper. He’s still best known for playing Jacked Chidi in The Good Place. Previously, we saw in a teaser that Darby (who’s still in the show a little bit) got married, and who knows if she’ll actually be happy (or found herself with another a-hole), but this season will mostly focus upon the divorced Marcus. He did the whole sunk-cost investment thing, apparently, and now, he’s finding himself in the hell hole known as the dating world. Godspeed, Marcus.
Apple TV+
Swagger: Season 1 (Apple TV+ streaming 10/29)
Get ready, sports-drama fans. This show’s inspired by Kevin Durant’s pre-NBA experiences, and more specifically, it examines early ambition and dreams and the fine line between those two things, along with the comparable delineation between opportunism and corruption on the grown-up side. The cast includes Isaiah Hill, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Oscar nominee Quvenzhané Wallis, all of whom are bringing some truths on the experience of coming in age in America. With the talent involved here, don’t be surprised to be sucked in, even if you aren’t exactly watching NBA games.
Channing Tatum might be dating Zoe Kravitz, but he’s all up in noted Scarf King Lenny Kravitz’s Instagram over a certain shredded photo. Yep, Channing and Zoe reportedly went public with their relationship on Met Gala night, and it seems that Channing is pretty fond of her dad, too. And who could blame him?
This a good time to remind everyone that one of the only good things that has happened during the pandemic is that Lenny Kravitz invited Men’s Health into his private compound in the Bahamas, where he showed off his workout moves in a way that no one else could have gotten away with doing without being called inauthentic. Lenny’s effortlessly cool, though, so seeing him use a tree trunk as a weight bench actually worked.
Lenny was ripped then, and he’s ripped now and will always be ripped, so that’s why (I guess?) he decided to make coffee with his shirt wide open (as one does). Then he generously treated everyone to the visual on Instagram.
“2:37pm. Good morning,” read the caption. “All nighter in the studio last night. 3 albums on the horizon. Going back in. Love.”
Y’all, Lenny Kravitz is 57 years old, and he looks mind-bogglingly like a chiseled statue. Everyone noticed. The Rock stepped up with a “My brotha. Inspiring. #ohana.” And Channing wrote, “Good god man! What are you eating or what’s in the water or the genes. It’s not natural. Do you just do abs like all day?”
To that, Lenny responded, “@channingtatum Dude, I’m just trying to get in the next Magic Mike. Any connections?”
Make it happen: Magic Mike XXL, The Last Dance: Let Love Rule.
Whoever coined the phrase “parents know best” has obviously never been to Polk County, Iowa. The county, which is located just about 5 miles from Des Moines, is home to the Ankeny Community School District, a public school district with a number of parents who are so aggressively anti-mask that they’d rather see their kids get a terrible education, if not forgo one entirely, than have them to wear a light piece of cloth across their faces for a few hours each day—a measure that could very well protect these same kids’ health and lives.
As Daily Beast reports, anti-mask parents across the country have been coming up with all sorts of creative ways to get their point across to teachers and school administrators, including the trio of dads in Tucson, Arizona, who attempted to zip-tie their kids’ principal for enforcing in-school mask mandates, per CDC guidelines, so that kids across America don’t start dying in record numbers. But these Iowa parents think that hitting their school district’s checkbook is the better tack. As Pilar Melendez writes for Daily Beast:
The Iowa Department of Education takes a certified enrollment count on Oct. 1 to determine how much funding each district is allotted for the following year, a spokesperson told The Daily Beast. So if a student leaves the district—even temporarily—before the count this Friday, they may not be tallied for the award of funding for the next school year.
That means if students whose parents are enraged by mask mandates come back after the count, the school could be forced to make do with less—all to appease parents who refuse to accept experts’ consensus about how to avoid death and disaster in the classroom.
Yes, you read that correctly: In order to get a school district to comply with their illogical demands, these parents want to ensure not only that their children’s schools are as dangerous a breeding ground for a deadly virus that has already killed nearly 700,000 Americans—but that the school district is basically bankrupted in the process.
“It’s absolute insanity to try to defund the schools and then enroll your kid back into the school the next day,” one local (and actually sane) mom told Daily Beast, but would only speak on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution from her fellow parents.
“Nothing surprises me anymore,” she added—a statement that could very well replace “In God We Trust” on our currency these days.
Earlier this week, Amazon introduced the world to Astro, its very first household robot, which the company described as “a new and different kind of robot” that “brings together new advancements in artificial intelligence, computer vision, sensor technology, and voice and edge computing in a package that’s designed to be helpful and convenient.” But if you’re hoping Astro will also suck your c*%#, well, The Daily Show correspondent Michael Kosta has got some bad news.
In his latest edition of “Konsumer Reports,” Kosta made it clear that the robot is super cool and can do all sorts of useful things. But it’s definitely not a sex robot, which Kosta understandably finds kind of annoying. Or, as he puts it: “It’s like an Alexa on wheels that you cannot have sex with.”
Which isn’t to say that Kosta wasn’t impressed with some of the cute little robot’s cutting-edge features, like its screen, which he describes as “reminiscent of the Amazon Echo Show 10. When we’re not using the screen to watch movies or make video calls, Astro has a cute little face, but no mouth. Which means oral is completely off the table.”
So what else can Astro do—or, more accurately, not do?
You can use it to surf the web, take pictures, [and] FaceTime grandma. But, if you were hoping to pork its charging hole, you gotta think again. Astro is battery-operated and conveniently takes itself to a charging dock when it’s low on battery. Clever little minx, isn’t it?
Arguably the coolest feature is Astro’s mobility. It’s equipped with three wheels which, hypothetically, could run over your penis, though I haven’t tried that yet.
Astro, no surprise, has artificial intelligence. It can tell you what the weather is and schedule appointments for you. But, like most AI on the market, it does struggle with more complex commands. For example, when I said, ‘Astro, tickle my balls,’ it didn’t know what I meant. And even worse, when I said ‘Astro, make me your toilet,’ it ordered me a bidet on Amazon. That’s disappointing.
Still, there’s always hope with that three-wheel thing. You can watch Kosta’s full review above.
Yandy is the internet’s number one destination for Halloween concepts that might as well begin with the word “sexy.” There’s Field Goal Flirt, Sultry Swashbuckler, and Brainy Babe, which definitely isn’t Velma from Scooby Doo. Yandy also sells a ton of off-license, legally-distinct costumes, so instead of Harley Quinn, you have Daddy’s Lil Disaster. And who could forget everyone’s favorite Game of Thrones character, Sexy Mother of Dragons. A big seller in previous years was the (shudder) Donna T. Rumpshaker costume, inspired by former-president Donald Trump with a “sexy twist,” but it’s not flying off the shelves in 2021.
“The Trump-specific costumes aren’t popular any more at all,” Yandy’s director of brand marketing, Alicia Thompson, told the Guardian. “We had to discount the remaining inventory.” The website is also having trouble moving COVID-19-themed costumes. “You’re not going to see sexy COVID-19 costumes,” she said, hopefully without remorse.
On the flip side, Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala outfit is all the rage:
A costume that approximates to Kim Kardashian’s all-black fetish-istic Balenciaga outfit at the Met Gala is selling out. “The Mystery Gala Guest costume is flying off the shelves,” Thompson says. “[It] was just begging to be created, right? How could we not? There is no shortage of ways that fans and detractors alike can have some real fun with this one.”
Also popular: this men’s King of the Jungle costume that the Guardian thinks is being used to duplicate the QAnon Shaman’s look when he stormed the Capitol Building in January (“The costume is selling well, for sure, but I couldn’t speak to whether people are using it for that purpose,” Thompson said). That’s a huge stretch — it’s obviously a reference to Brendan Fraser in George of the Jungle.
Out: Trump. In: Fraser. Just the way it should be.
The jig is up for Alex Jones. On Monday, in a rare legal move, Judge Maya Guerra Gamble issued default judgments in two of several lawsuits that have been filed against the incendiary Infowars founder by family members of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, which left 26 people—including 20 children between the ages of six and seven years old—dead. For his part, Jones has repeatedly (and falsely) claimed that the 2012 tragedy was nothing more than a piece of performance art, calling the event a “false flag” hoax and describing the children as “crisis actors.”
As HuffPost reports, Jones was called out by Gamble after failing to produce discovery records, including company emails, in two of several ongoing suits against the man who has relished his reputation as America’s foremost conspiracy theorist. Though Jones has had several years to turn this information over, he has outright refused, which didn’t sit well with the judge. While Jones’ lawyer (the seventh one he’s worked with by the way) told the Austin-American Statesman that a default judgment against Jones would be “hugely excessive,” Gamble wasn’t hearing it, and didn’t see any other way, writing the following:
“[I]n considering whether lesser remedies would be effective, this Court has also considered Defendants’ general bad faith approach to litigation, Mr. Jones’ public threats, and Mr. Jones’ professed belief that these proceedings are ‘show trials.’”
The Daily Beast reported that Gamble also noted how, “An escalating series of judicial admonishments, monetary penalties, and non-dispositive sanctions have all been ineffective at deterring the abuse.” Though Jones has since decried his earlier public stance and said that he does believe the shootings were real, it was a case of too little too late. He’ll now be at the mercy of a jury, which will be convened and asked to determine how much he will need to pay.
Crank up those furnaces in a few parts of the country, for fall’s kicking into gear for many of us, or at least some cooler temperatures. If you’re wisely staying home already (and even if you’re simply considering getting back into the practice), then Netflix has you covered this week with new TV selections. An A-lister thriller movie, a documentary about one of the biggest pop stars of all time, and a heartbreaking limited series are all ready to roll for the binging.
Among the many options? You’ll be able to settle in for an unpredictable ride with Jake Gyllenhaal, and go behind the curtain for Netflix’s version of the Britney Spears story. Some foreign thrillers await, too, along with a romcom and a project starring Margaret Qualley, who happens to be Andie MacDowell’s daughter, but you might also remember her as a breakout star of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. And a fresh crop of movies arrives on October 1, so get ready to rewatch The Karate Kid ahead of Cobra Kai Season 4 and Ghost ahead of Halloween. There’s too much here for you to possibly watch in one week, and that’s a fantastic dilemma to have.
Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) the streaming platform this week.
The Guilty (Netflix film streaming 10/1)
Jake Gyllenhaal plays an 911 emergency dispatch operator who walks into a situation that he thinks he’s prepared for, but he has no idea… or does he? This movie’s a remake of a Danish film of the same name, and if you’re not familiar with that work (or perhaps even if you are), you aren’t ready for this. The story takes place during one morning; however, it’ll feel like an eternity for Jake’s character.
Every streaming service is in on the Britney game these days, and Netflix is taking a stab at what really happened during the long, sordid history of the infamous conservatorship. Not only will this documentary paint a tragic portrait of a young woman who became trapped in her fame and family, but there’s also a shocking timeline to be unraveled here while, in real life, the pop singer moves toward (hopeful) autonomy.
Margaret Qualley (Once Upon A Time In Hollywood) stars in this heartbreaking adaptation of Stephanie Land’s New York Times best-selling memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive. This will, clearly, be a difficult watch, but Qualley’s raw portrayal (of a woman who flees an abusive relationship to go through exceedingly difficult times to break the cycle for her daughter) yields a burgeoning star.
Diana: The Musical (Netflix special streaming 10/1)
On the heels of even more The Crown Emmy wins (it’s almost cruel to other contenders at this point), here’s the streaming debut (which undoubtedly also finds inspiration in Hamilton success on Disney+) ahead of this production’s official Broadway debut to shine even more of a light on Princess Diana’s legacy. Unfortunately, the secrecy so far means that we can’t make promises on quality, but this is almost guaranteed to get a rise out of Piers Morgan, so that’s a virtue in its own right.
Attack of the Hollywood Clichés! (Netflix special streaming 8/30)
Rob Lowe brings his handsome to dig into the history and evolution of the most notorious clichés in Hollywood. Expect a plethora of guests to stop by, including Florence Pugh, along with screeners and critics and academics, all of whom deliver their takes on “meet-cutes” and “ladies running in stilettos.” Yes, there’s a “Wilhelm Scream” section, too.
Ada Twist, Scientist (Netflix series streaming 8/31)
Plop the kiddos in front of the TV to enjoy this pint-sized scientist in lead-character mode, who takes on the truth with the help of two very good friends. Together, they explore how science solves the biggest mysteries while they hope to improve the world for all of mankind.
This Danish psychological-thriller series (from The Killing‘s creator) finds its roots in Nordic noir. The story follows police (within a Copenhagen suburb) who discover a brutal murder, which is accompanies by (bizarrely enough) a small figure rendered with chestnuts. That accessory leads to the possibility of a serial killer at hand, which all might be tied to a politician’s daughter’s fate.
No One Gets Out Alive (Netflix film streaming 8/30)
A young immigrant woman takes up residence in an American boarding house, which turns out to be a much more terrible deal than it seems. The low price arrives with disturbed tenants and nightmares for all and echoes from the basement, and soon enough, she realizes that the house is evil and a living nightmare, all where screams go unnoticed, including her own.
This fluffy movie presents a fashion assistant who’s attempting to get over a devastating blow to the heart, all while the man in question keeps surfacing in her life, to screw things up while her best friends are going through similar ordeals. Can they all get their sh*t together? Let’s hope.
