Everyone remembers where they were when the news broke that America’s Sweetheart Bob Odenkirk had collapsed on the set of the final season of Better Call Saul in 2021. The actor later opened up about the heart attack, which delayed shooting for five weeks, and how grateful he was that his crew saved him that day. Now if only he gets that Emmy he deserves then we’ll be all set.
Odenkirk recently stopped byThe Drew Barrymore Show to describe the attack as “a doozy” which is more something you would expect to hear after a math test, not a life-threatening situation. But after the heart attack, Odenkirk could see things from a new perspective.
“I’ve reflected a lot on that since then and it’s really influenced my life since then,” he explained. “I’ve just thought a lot about the time you need in your day — if you can get it — and in your life to enjoy and take in the people around you, the relationships you’re lucky to have, the good things in your life. Everything. Even the bad things.” As a reminder, Odenkirk has never done anything bad in his life, so maybe he was talking about something else. But the point still stands.
He added, “You need a little space in your life to feel that. You just aren’t experiencing life if you don’t find that space.” As for how he is experiencing life now, Odenkirk just released a children’s book with his daughter Erin. He’s just killing time until January.
Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Naked Attraction is a lot like every other dating show. Except for the part where the contestants barely meet each other. And the part where someone chooses a mate based almost entirely on comparing their nude body to a bunch of other also-nude bodies. And the part where there are just a ton of exposed dongs. So… maybe it’s not like the other dating shows you’ve seen. But it sure does exist. Go there now and look if you don’t believe us.
What we have on our hands here is a Bachelor spinoff about an older gentleman looking for love from a group of similarly aged ladies. Which is… honestly kind of adorable. Good for them. And good for us, too, especially if one of the episodes features a date where they eat dinner at a diner at 4:45 and then go watch an episode of Columbo in matching recliners. This was written as a joke but honestly sounds kind of wonderful. That’s true love right there, people.
Is The Morning Show the best drama on TV in a world absent Better Call Saul and Succession? Well, no, but it’s definitely the dramaest drama on TV, leaning on its star power to cut through moments that might be eye-roll-inducing if you weren’t so captivated by the screen presence of Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, and Jon Hamm, who joins this season as a handsome version of Elon Musk. Backstabbing, front-stabbing, walk and talks, politics, high tension, and ripped-from-the-headlines storylines all come together, yet again, with our news and media power players moving more fully toward the game of mergers, acquisitions, and boardroom battles where the real prizes can be found.
The only “solo” spinoff of AMC’s post-apocalyptic world is upon us. Daryl is most entertaining character to send to France, and he’s also the least religious of the bunch, which makes it awfully funny to see him hanging with a bunch of nuns after waking up in France like “WTF?” Most of all, though, Daryl earns his “Big Ass Kicker” nickname and we also get a lovely character study of the most loyal and industrious survivor of Rick’s old bunch. The action also delivers, so get ready for crossbows and total chaos at Parisian landmarks. Pssst, we also chose the most essential to watch before this spinoff.
The important information here is that this is a docuseries about how Juul kind of took over the world for a minute or two and it led to a nationwide nicotine crisis the likes of which we haven’t seen since the days when cigarettes were advertised on every major television show on all three of the networks that existed at the time, but it’s also worth noting that “Big Vape” would be an incredible nickname for like a beefy power forward on small-school college basketball team. So there is a lot to consider here.
Dan Harmon’s long-gestating cartoon take on Ancient Greece is here. He’s had big success in the world of animation before with both Solar Opposites and Rick and Morty, so there’s reason for optimism even if the reviews of the first few episodes are a little dicey. You have time. Don’t pretend like you don’t. You’re not fooling anyone, Derek. (This works better if your name is Derek.)
This 2023 movie goes back to the 1973 short story by Stephen King as the perfect streaming lead-in to nightmares about Halloween season. This is not a true tale, but perhaps thinking of it that way can increase the terror. The story explores the enduring Boogeyman/Bogeyman folklore that has persisted around the globe for centuries. We’ve got a distracted father not paying enough attention to a pair of sisters, who begin to experience horrors that could trigger any lingering fears you’ve ever had about monsters lurking in your bedroom closet. The cast includes Sophie Thatcher, David Dastmalchian, and Chris Messina.
RL Stine’s Goosebumps series was the catalyst for plenty of children’s nightmares in the 90s and Disney+ is hoping to continue that reign of terror with their latest reboot. The kids have aged up – they’re high schoolers with hormonal angst seeping from their pores now. And the mystery isn’t anthologized, instead spread out over the course of 10 episodes. But you can still feel Stine’s evil genius working as murder investigations and suspicious parents and cursed artifacts open up a bigger world of supernatural secrets.
Brie Larson has never shied away from speaking out for feminist causes, and in this series, she stars in the adaptation of Bonnie Garmus’ bestselling novel, Lessons In Chemistry. Garmus became an overnight “a literary rock star” at age 66 for this impressive debut novel that is all the rage in book clubs everywhere. That will give the show a built-in audience as Larson portrays a brilliant chemist who is fired for a sexist double standard. This leads to an unexpected career change as a cooking show host. This high-profile new platform allows her to sandwich in other nuggets of wisdom for housewives as well as demonstrating how to bake yummy cookies.
Kristen Stewart’s gay ghost hunting show has everything: slayances, spook-kikis, haunted strip clubs, and comedian Roz Hernandez snacking on donuts while she yells at homophobic poltergeists. The group – a hodgepodge of paranormal experts that includes a psychic, a witch, and a tarot card reader – road trips across the country in this docuseries produced by the Queer Eye creators, chatting it up with demonic entities and benevolent spooks to get to the root of some very real, very human problems. If there’s a better way to spend your weekend than watching a group of well-dressed Queer spiritualists commune with the dead while cracking jokes and busting stereotypes, we don’t want to know about it.
Come for the dong jokes, and stay for the dong jokes. Much like The Boys, this spinoff does not skim on the raunch, and it also gives us a whole new roster of Supes who might feel differently about Vought International’s motives. This series seemingly pulls off the impossible by managing to be as appealing as the flagship series without the presence of its most shining and degraded beacon, Homelander. This franchise shows no sign of wearing out or fatiguing its audience as both the MCU and DCU have managed to do, which might be the most heroic feat of all in the present entertainment realm.
A romcom in space? Sure, why not. There’s likely no better way to kill some time on a doomed ship that will never make its way back to Earth then to, you know, consider the “if you were the last person…” scenario that comes to life. Actually, damn, this is dark stuff! It’s a good thing that Anthony Mackie is over there making flirty eyes at Zoe Chao. Very distracting.
The official description here reads as follows: “Willie E. Gary, an unconventional lawyer, helps Jeremiah Joseph O’Keefe, a funeral home owner with financial troubles, save his family business from a corporate behemoth.” And that’s nice. But the real story here is that we have Jamie Foxx and Tommy Lee Jones in a movie together that you can watch on the same website where you can order a new blender. That’s… it’s kind of incredible. The future is weird but not always in bad ways.
When we last left Loki, the title character (Tom Hiddleston) had traveled to an alternate version of the Time Variance Authority where no one remembers him and there are statues of Kang (Jonathan Majors) everywhere. This second season picks up where we left off, only Loki soon discovers he’s being thrust back and forth not to an alternate timeline, but the past and present of his current timeline. Seeking the help of the present-day Mobius (Owen Wilson, the past’s version doesn’t know Loki) the two seek out Ke Huy Quan’ Ouroboros (or OB for short), a fellow who has been around a long time and seems to know how to do everything, to stop Loki from doing these involuntary jumps back and forth through time.
Also, Loki and Mobius are charged with finding one of Kang’s variants, for reasons that are too complicated to explain here. So the pair travel to 19th-century Chicago to find an inventor and con man named Victor Timely. The problem is other people with the ability to jump through time are also after Timely and his fate has repercussions on multiple timelines.
This show is a lot, which is by design, but it’s still a lot. The first season played as good fun, and this second season is also fun, though maybe just a little less so (at least through four episodes), but while watching it’s hard to forget the real world where one of the main cast members is on trial for assault.
Kaitlyn Dever has been killing it since her Justified days (Team Loretta), and her Dopesick, Unbelievable, and Booksmart performances sealed the deal. Here, she stays nearly silent — much harder than it sounds, once you see what she goes through — in this story that puts an extraterrestrial twist on home-invasion horror. Before you watch, be sure to pull those blinds and double lock those doors because you’re in for a hell of a good-scary time
Mike Flanagan fans, get ready. The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass showrunner is back along with Carla Gugino, who will spook your soul right out of your bod and deliver a “consequential” evening to “a collection of stunted hearts” that is the Usher family. Yikes. Do not expect a literal adaptation of the Edgar Allen Poe short story. The story focuses here on the hell created by ruthless siblings Roderick and Madeline Usher, who built Fortunato Pharmaceuticals into an empire of wealth, privilege, and power. Horrible secrets shall surface when the heirs to the Usher dynasty start dying at the hands of a mysterious woman, portrayed with glee by Gugino.
Rick and Morty used to take notoriously long breaks between seasons, but not this time. Season seven of the animated sci-fi comedy series returns less than a year after the season six finale. There have been big changes behind the scenes, however: co-creator Justin Roiland, who also voiced the title characters, was fired from the show. Tricky line to straddle going forward, but the show has rarely let us down before.
Hey, here’s a fun one. We’ve got Rhys Darby and Taika Waititi and everyone is a pirate and most of them are gay. This show has been an unexpected blast for a while now and it’s always nice when those are in our lives. Treat yourself. Have some fun. Watch some gay pirates on the high seas. You deserve it.
Netflix snagged the rights to this movie after it lit up Sundance and it’s easy to see why. The erotic thriller “follows a young couple whose relationship starts to unravel following an unexpected promotion at a cutthroat hedge fund firm,” which is already classic Netflix-bait, but it was also generally received well by critics who saw it. Steamy and classy. Best of both worlds.
The seventh season of Big Mouth ties Orange is the New Black and Grace and Frankie as Netflix’s longest-running scripted series (it will break the record in its eighth and final season). Not bad for an animated show about horny teenagers and hormone monsters. Guest stars this season include Megan Thee Stallion, Lupita Nyong’o, and Pulitzer Prize winner Lin-Manuel Miranda as a pubic hair. Good show.
Earlier this month, Megan Thee Stallion revealed that she is no longer signed to a label and will pursue her career independently for the foreseeable future. This seemed to suggest that her long-simmering legal dispute with Houston label 1501 Certified Entertainment had finally come to an end, and today, Billboard confirmed as much, reporting that Megan and 1501 Certified had “mutually reached a confidential settlement to resolve their legal differences” and will “amicably part ways.”
Over the course of the past four years, the dispute had grown quite acrimonious at times. Still, in a statement, 1501 said, “Both Megan and 1501 are pleased to put this matter behind them and move forward with the next chapter of their respective businesses,” with the label’s founder and president Carl Crawford saying he and 1501 “wish Megan the very best in her life and career.”
Here’s a timeline of the legal battle.
March 2020 — Megan Says 1501 Is Blocking Her From Releasing New Music
After her song “Big Ole Freak” blew up in the summer of 2019, Megan signed with Roc Nation management in September 2019. However, in March 2020, after releasing the follow-up singles “B.I.T.C.H.” and “Captain Hook,” Megan said during an Instagram Live session that 1501 was blocking her from releasing new music after she requested to renegotiate her 2018 contract with the label, citing unfair terms that gave 1501 cuts of every revenue stream.
August 2021 — 1501 Tries To Block The Release Of Meg’s Remix Of BTS’s Hit “Butter”
While Crawford and Houston music icon J. Prince insinuated that 1501 and Meg were close to a new deal throughout 2020, through the releases of the EP Suga and her debut album Good News, in August 2021, the reveal that the label once again tried to block the release of new music appeared to belie their comments.
This time, Megan once again went to court to grant the release of a song, her remix to K-pop band BTS’s monster hit “Butter.” Once again, she was granted a court order allowing the release of the song, but it became clear that her issues with 1501 weren’t going away.
February 2022 — Megan Sues To End Her Contract With 1501
Things came to a head early last year when Megan finally outright sued 1501 Certified Entertainment after the label refused to count Something For Thee Hotties against her contract. By her reckoning, the project satisfied her four-album deal, but because many of its 21 tracks were freestyles or previously recorded material, 1501 labeled it a compilation.
August 2022 — Megan Amends Her Suit, Demanding $1 Million In Unpaid Royalties
After a momentous visit with The Pope in the Vatican City, Whoopi Goldberg returned to The View this week and did what any of us would’ve done in her shoes: Declared all-out war on the apex predators of the sea.
While gushing about The Shark Is Broken, a new Broadway play about the making of Jaws, Whoopi made it clear that she will absolutely wreck a shark if one comes near her. Don’t even think about trying it, you finned bastards.
“No. I mean, listen. I know what to do because that wonderful man who came to our show said [to] punch it in the face,” Goldberg told Sunny Hostin (via Entertainment Weekly) after being asked if the play would make her scared to get in the ocean.
To drive her point home, Whoopi put up her fists and proceed to make it clear to sharks that she will destroy every last one of them. “And so, you know, don’t be scared. Think of somebody you really don’t like and beat the poo out of that shark. Pow!”
For some background, Whoopi revealed that she’s become leery of the sea after firing up an underwater experience with her VR headset.
“I put it on and I was under the ocean, because I love all the ocean stuff,” she told her co-hosts, “Something came swimming by and I forgot that I had these things on, and I got up so fast that I fell over.”
The Puerto Rican supernova was the top touring artist of 2022 “with total gross of $373.5 million from 1.8 million tickets across 65 shows,” per Billboard‘s annual Boxscore recap. The publication’s report also relayed, “Bad Bunny is the first Latin act, and first act who doesn’t perform in English, to finish atop Billboard‘s year-end Top Tours chart. Beyond the historic nature of his win for genre and language, he is the only artist to mount separate $100-million tours in the same year.”
So, yeah, objectively speaking, Bad Bunny’s Most Wanted Tour will be the hottest ticket of 2024. According to a press release, Bad Bunny fans “are being asked to register ahead of tickets going on sale for the Most Wanted Tour to help block bots and scalpers, reduce resale, and get more tickets directly into the hands of real people who want to attend the show.”
Registration is open here and will run from now until Sunday, October 22, at 11:59 p.m. According to Ticketmaster, people can expect an email confirming registration within 24 hours, though registering does not guarantee access to the sale. On Tuesday, October 24, fans should be on the lookout for another email “in the evening” to confirm whether they’ve been selected to participate in the sale or placed on the waitlist. Selected fans will receive a unique access code via text.
“Once registration closes, fans will be randomly selected to receive a code that grants them access to the onsale on Wednesday, October 25,” the press release adds.
Bye weeks are part of the fabric in the NFL and, well, they arrive in full force in Week 7. This week isn’t the start of byes across the league, but it is the first time that six teams are out of action at once. Of course, this greatly limits the slate in terms of pure volume and, by proxy, makes it even more challenging to highlight five specific winners against the spread or total for this space. Still, we press on after a strong Week 6 and there is opportunity to be found.
Before diving into the Week 7 frenzy, here’s a quick look at where we’ve been thus far.
Week 6: 4-1
2023 Season: 17-11-2
Come get these winners.
TEASER: Jacksonville Jaguars (+8.5) over New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks (-1.5) over Arizona Cardinals — Widely Available
We begin the week with a classically appealing teaser. New Orleans has a potent defense, to be sure, but getting through two key numbers to take Jacksonville in a game with a total around 40 is very nice. Seattle isn’t a juggernaut, but this a pretty friendly spot against Arizona at home and, again, we’re moving through key numbers to boost value.
Baltimore Ravens (-3) over Detroit Lions — Widely Available
I promise I’m not trying to fade the Lions, but here we are again. Detroit gave us our only loss a week ago, but this is a good spot for Baltimore at a flat three. The Lions are officially a public team at this juncture, but I think this should be 4 and it’s 3. There you go.
Indianapolis Colts (+3) over Cleveland Browns — Widely Available
If Deshaun Watson plays, a lot of people will hate taking only three here with the Colts. I do understand that. But honestly, I’d take the Colts even if I knew Watson was in, and I really like it without him. Cleveland’s defense is certainly terrifying, as we saw last week, but this total may close in the 30’s and, if we can nab a full field goal with the home underdog, it’s a play.
Los Angeles Rams (-3) over Pittsburgh Steelers — Widely Available
Yes, there will be a lot of Steelers fans in Los Angeles. Yes, Mike Tomlin is a wizard. No, that isn’t enough to get me away from this game. Lay the small number.
TEASER: New York Giants (+8.5) over Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins (+8.5) over Philadelphia Eagles — Widely Available
Two teasers? Two teasers. The Giants are appealing when moving through two keys with a total in the 30’s, and nabbing 8.5 points against a relatively underwhelming Washington offense is good with me. Miami isn’t an underdog very often but, with the perfect teaser spot again, we are backing an offense that can certainly get us in the backdoor if we need it. Also, Philadelphia’s defense has been pretty average so far this season, and the Eagles just lost Lane Johnson, who is ultra-valuable for their offense.
Bad Bunny announced his highly-anticipated Most Wanted Tour, in support of his new album. He will be kicking off the shows next February at Salt Lake City’s Delta Center. From there, fans can expect to catch him in cities across North America until May.
Here’s what to know about when tickets for Bad Bunny’s Most Wanted Tour go on sale, for those who are hoping to be successful in getting some.
Right now, to prevent ticket scalping, Ticketmaster is offering Verified Fan Registration. Fans can sign up for the chance to receive a code starting now, until Sunday, October 22 at 11:59 p.m. PT. In the days following, those randomly chosen will receive an individual code that will allow them to purchase tickets on Wednesday, October 25.

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. Last week, we saw the release of Travis Scott’s latest Nike collaboration — a sneaker that pretty much anyone who calls themselves a sneakerhead wanted. So if you’re feeling a bit of a hangover from that week, we don’t blame you.
Even the big brands seem to be playing it safe this week. We’re not getting a lot of notable drops, but there are still some interesting collaborations and colorways dropping this week. Highlights include a Satin BRED AJ-1 women’s exclusive (an FC Barcelona and Patta Nike collab) and a new Nike Supreme team-up, the Courtposite. New Balance is also dropping a couple of collaborations with Carhartt WIP and Italian streetwear brand Stone Island.
It’s a light showing, but an impressive one nonetheless. Let’s dive into the best sneaker drops of the week.
An all-time classic is finally dropping in women’s exclusive sizing and a good sign that Nike is making good on its promise to cater to a wider audience. The BRED is an all-time great colorway, quite possibly the best for the AJ-1, and now here it is in a Satin makeup.
This rendition of the sneaker originally dropped in 2016 as a limited run. It’ll no doubt make some grown men cry knowing they won’t be able to cop a pair this week.
The Nike Women’s Air Jordan 1 Satin BRED is set to drop on October 18th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Nike Air Max Plus x FC Barcelona x Patta Culers del Món
Fans of FC Barcelona will get to show team spirit with this psychedelic rendition of the Air Max Plus made in collaboration with Amsterdam-based skatewear brand Patta.
Featuring FC Barcelona colors, the Culers del Món features a gradient design shifting from a rich Royal Blue to Nobe Red across the midfoot with Barça club crests on the dubraes, striped lace tips, and a mesh and leather build with Patta branding at the tongue.
The Nike Air Max Plus x FC Barcelona x Patta Culers del Món is set to drop on October 17th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.
A Nike sneaker that bears the name “Chicago” but isn’t in Bull’s colors? What is going on here? The Air Max 1 ’86 Chicago pays homage to the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, a fire so devastating that it leveled the city and forced residents to rebuild and reimagine Chicago from scratch. In its place, we got the Chicago we know today with a skyline adorned by glittering skyscrapers of glass, steel, and concrete. That’s why this Air Max has a sort of cool steely tone to it, and frankly, it looks great! I like it even better than the Bull’s colors.
The Nike Air Max 1 ’86 Chicago is set to drop on October 21st at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $170. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

New Balance x Stone Island MADE in UK 991v2 Black with Olive
Luxury Italian brand Stone Island is linking up with New Balance once again for a new take on the Made in UK 991v2. The sneaker features a utilitarian aesthetic with reflective details throughout, a mesh upper with Nubuck and leather overlays, and a semi-translucent outsole that reveals Stone Island’s compass logo on the underfoot.
The sneaker was inspired by the industrial architecture that served as a backdrop for the illegal raves and warehouse parties of the early UK electronic music scene.
The New Balance x Stone Island MADE in UK 991v2 Black with Olive is set to drop on October 18th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $269.99. Pick up a pair at the New Balance webstore or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
If the Stone Island collaboration was a bit too gritty and industrial for you, perhaps you’d enjoy the warm tones of the American working class in this New Balance collaboration with Carhartt WIP. The Made in USA 990v6 features a pigskin upper with suede overlays and mesh underlays atop a FuelCell-equipped midsole with molded Carhartt WIP branding at the tongue and those warm colors signature colors that are characteristic of the brand.
I like this release, and I think it’s dope that New Balance is doing two drops this week that borrow UK and US working-class aesthetics, but I’d be lying if I wasn’t personally leaning more towards the shoe that reps the UK.
The New Balance x Carhartt WIP Made in USA 990v6 is set to drop on October 20th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $219.99. Pick up a pair at the New Balance webstore.
It’s been a minute since we’ve heard from Supreme but the box logo brand is back with its best collaborator, Nike, with three new colorways of the Courtposite silhouette. The Courtposite is a mix of Foamposite aesthetics with some Tennis influence and was largely criticized by actual tennis players when it first dropped in 2002.
But since the early ‘00s era fashion is all the rage now, Supreme is smart to bring this forgotten classic back, and to our eyes in 2023. It’s looking pretty great. This is the sort of out-of-left-field collaboration we expect from Supreme, so we welcome it with open arms (and open wallets).
The Supreme x Nike Courtposite is set to drop on October 19th for a retail price of $150. Pick up a pair via at Supreme.
A popular SB Dunk colorway is getting a re-stock! Originally known as simply, “the Fog,” this SB Dunk features a stealthy suede build with moody gray accents and a traditional gum sole. The sneaker rides atop a Zoom Air Unit with a padded tongue.
We know the whole purpose of the SB Dunk is that it is designed to take a beating from rigorous street skating, but you might actually have a hard time accepting that here because the design looks so good.
The Nike SB Dunk Low Pro Black (Fog) is set to drop on October 20th at 10:00 AM PST for a retail price of $115. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.
In the modern sneaker era, Jordan brand’s best collaborator is undoubtedly Georgia-based brand A Ma Maniére who this week are teaming up with Nike to bring us an elevated rendition of the slightly obscure Air Ship. The Air Ship, which is a restock from the summer, features a leather upper with a slightly aged tongue and sole in a classy black and white colorway. It’s painfully simple, but it’s also the sort of thing that makes A Ma Maniére such a great collaborator for Nike, they never push things too far
The A Ma Maniére x Jordan Air Ship is set to drop on October 21st at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $140. Pick up a pair at A Ma Maniére.

After months of secrecy, Rick and Morty finally unveiled the new voices for the show’s titular characters after original voice actor Justin Roiland was ousted following a series of sexual assault allegations. The Season 7 premiere revealed that animation newcomers Ian Cardoni and Harry Belden took over the voices of Rick and Morty, respectively.
So far, the reception to the voice change has been overwhelmingly positive. The Season 7 trailer went over like gangbusters with Rick and Morty fans after hearing Cardoni and Belden for the first time. Obviously, the high-profile casting has put a spotlight on the two actors, so here’s where you can catch some of their previous work:
Ian Cardoni
According to IMDb, Cardoni has mostly appeared in bit roles in comedy films like Grown Ups and Clear History as well as a Doctor Who comedy short with Hugh Grant. He also served as the “Jack Sparrow Narrator” for both WrestleMania 36 and 37.
Harry Belden
As for Belden, he most recently appeared in Season 3 Episode 5 of Joe Pera Talks with You and the TV movie, Christmas Again. He also appeared in Season 5 Episode 11 of Chicago Med and Season 1 Episode 2 of Presumed Innocent.
How They Got The ‘Rick And Morty’ Gig
Despite their seemingly sparse resumes, Cardoni and Belden beat out a huge field of contenders for the coveted Rick and Morty roles, according to showrunner Scott Marder.
“We heard thousands. It went on for six months,” Marder told The Hollywood Reporter. “It was really wide. It almost went so wide that we debated doing a global hotline, though we knew it would wind up being a prank line.”
As the process continued, Marder and Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon kept coming back to Cardoni and Belden.
“Ian was one of the first people I heard when the search began; he was in the first wave: ‘Mark that guy, he’s got major flashes of Rick,’ which was awesome. We found Harry a lot later. They just stood out,” Marder said. “We brought those guys back in with a wave of people a ton of times and made them go through a bunch of sides and do all scenes in a way we wouldn’t even do normally just to see what their stamina was and if they could stay in voice. We put them through a pretty rigorous process.”
Rick and Morty Season 7 airs new episodes Sunday on Adult Swim.
Norman Reedus had one major condition for signing onto The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon as both the leading man an an executive producer. He insisted upon the return of frequent franchise director Greg Nicotero (“You can’t do the show without Greg!”) on board in some capacity.
This condition will hopefully translate into Nicotero doing some directing stints on Daryl Dixon Season 2 (The Book Of Carol), but the makeup effects creator was heavily involved with the superior spinoff’s first outing. Additionally, Nicotero has his fingerprints all over Rick Grimes/Michonne spinoff, The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live. Comic Book is now reporting that he’s also doing the makeup-effects honors for this next spinoff, too:
“I’ve been in France while they were developing the Rick and Michonne show. I still supervised the makeup effects from a distance, but I did not [direct],” Nicotero told ComicBook of The Ones Who Live, which began production in New Jersey in February 2023. “I think if I hadn’t been in Paris, I probably would have directed on Rick and Michonne, because I know Andy personally had asked me to come and work on the show. But I can’t be in two places at once.”
Hopefully, yes, Nicotero will be able to step behind the camera on both shows. I am still also crossing fingers that he was the guy who made Norman Reedus’ bathwater look exceedingly grungy on Daryl Dixon. The dude had, after all, recently been in the ocean, so there wasn’t as much Daryl grime as usual to work with. Let’s hear that dish, too!
