I watched the first three episodes of “The Morning Show” shortly before they debuted in November 2019. I then caught-up with the rest of Season 1 during the early days of the COVID Pandemic in Spring 2020. AppleTV+’s flagship series, an over-the-top, at times outlandish drama about the workings of a fictional morning television program, […]
“Murder Mystery 2”, debuting March 31st on Netflix, is Jennifer Aniston’s first film since the *first* “Murder Mystery” movie, which was released nearly four years ago. Aniston has spent much of the in-between period of time filming AppleTV+ drama series “The Morning Show”, with Season 3 expected to debut later this year. And, of course, […]
I’ve screened all 10 episodes of Season 2 of AppleTV+ drama series “The Morning Show”. The first episode is now available on the streaming service, with a new episode dropping every Friday until November 19th.

Just as I did recently with “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”, I decided to watch the Pilot and Series Finale of another iconic sitcom back-to-back. I was too young for “Friends” (though I do remember my mother having spinoff “Joey” on a few times). I don’t think I watched a full episode of the ensemble […]
The hit 2015 YA novel Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy features a girl who’s deeply inspired by the music and life of Dolly Parton. The singer learned about the book – and a short time later got a call from actress Jennifer Aniston, who optioned that book for a movie. The Netflix film version is both […]
“Cake” is quite a departure in the career of star Jennifer Aniston. First of all, it’s a drama. Most of the films Aniston has done have been over-the-top, romantic comedies. And before that, of course, she became a star on the TV sitcom “Friends”. Next, “Cake” deals with difficult subjects: pain, suicide and death. And […]
