When it comes to the feminist themes of "Mad Men," it's typically Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) at the front of the conversation. She's on a clear upward journey from the moment she shows up in the pilot, and spends the show slowly but surely rising through the ranks of a male-dominated corporate environment. Then there's Betty (January Jones) as Peggy's polar opposite, a woman who spends the series trapped in an unfulfilling housewife role, even though she's not stupid and she speaks Italian; she totally could've enjoyed that career in psychology if she'd been born a little later.
In the middle is Joan. She's introduced as an extension of the mean girl trope, and characterized as sort of vain and shallow. She casually espouses all the ideals about gender roles that the show itself clearly wants to criticize. She comes from a time where looks really are almost all that matters for a woman,...

Great Gwildor’s beard! Industry insider Jeff Sneider is sending shockwaves through Grayskull this Wednesday by saying Jared Leto is reportedly getting offered the role of Skeletor in Amazon’s upcoming Masters of the Universe. Bumblebee‘s Travis Knight directs the live-action adaptation of Mattel’s beloved action figure franchise from a script by Chris Butler, with Nicholas Galitzine leading the film as He-Man, Camila Mendes as the virtuous warrior Teela, and Alison Brie as the villainess Evil-Lyn.
The InSneider says Academy Award-winning actor Jared Leto could play the skull-faced, blue-skinned thorn in He-Man’s side. Leto would command his army of iconic henchmen while shaking his fist and cackling, wielding influence and magic like the malevolent sorcerer fans know him to be. In his relentless pursuit of power, Skeletor longs to learn the secrets of Castle Grayskull and conquer the land of Eternia to feed his ego and seemingly limitless power.

As Amazon MGM and Mattel continue to cast the main roles in the upcoming live-action Masters of the Universe reboot, we may know which actor is being courted to play the villainous Skeletor.
According to Jeff Sneider, none other than Jared Leto has been offered the role.
Leto will be very familiar to Cbm fans, having played the Joker in David Ayer's Suicide Squad, and the titular Spider-Man villain in Sony's much-maligned Morbius. He also appeared in Blade Runner 2049, and has a key role in Disney's upcoming Tron: Ares.
If he accepts, Leto will join Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, Riverdale alum Camila Mendes as his right-hand woman and (possible) love-interest, Teela, and the recently-cast Alison Brie as Skeletor's second-in-command, Evil-Lyn.
Previous rumors have claimed that Sacha Baron Cohen was in contention to play the iconic baddie.

Millennials and early Gen Zs know the quality of cartoons that used to air on TV. Shows like Ben 10, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and more have become legendary due to their creative animation and amazing storytelling. So many iconic moments have been witnessed by kids around the world and are still remembered.

However, the old-era cartoons have been perceived to be ended. A generation that has entered adulthood seems to have a disconnect with more recent animated shows for kids. Even popular shows like Amphibia are being criticized for deriving too much from classic anime like Dragon Ball Z.

There is something about playing villains in superhero films that Jared Leto botches every time he is a part of them. While his Joker in Suicide Squad was forgettable at best, his Morbius is still one of the most popular memes on the Internet. The actor is rumored to have been offered the role of Skeletor in Amazon’s upcoming Masters of the Universe film.
Fans are naturally not happy with the alleged casting as Leto’s track record has been terrible so far. Despite winning an Oscar for Dallas Buyer’s Club, franchise films do not seem to be his cup of tea. However, fans seem to be campaigning for The Lord of the Rings’ Aragorn, Viggo Mortensen to be cast as Skeletor in the film.

On Tuesday, the California Film Commission revealed the 19 new projects it has awarded a total of $51.6 million in tax credits to as enticement to shoot in the Golden State. Only one was a TV series: “Suits: LA” has been granted about $12 million in tax incentives through the Soundstage Filming Tax Credit Program to move to Los Angeles.
The latest list includes three big-budget feature films and 15 independent films. Of note are the long-rumored (and now confirmed!) Janis Joplin biopic starring and produced by Shailene Woodley. That one got $2.5 million. Another $2.5 million will go to the Artists Equity film “Killing Gawker” — the one for which Ben Affleck is reportedly casting himself as Hulk Hogan.

Amazon MGM and Mattel's long-gestating live-action Masters of the Universe reboot has added another major cast member, with Alison Brie set to take on the role of the villainous Evil-Lyn.
THR reports that Brie will join the previously announced Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, and Riverdale alum Camila Mendes as his right-hand woman and (possible) love-interest, Teela.
As her name suggests, Evil-Lyn is a wicked and powerful sorceress who serves as Skeletor's second-in-command. Lyn was played by Meg Foster in the previous live-action movie, and was voiced by Game of Thrones alum Lena Headey in Netflix's Masters of the Universe: Revelation animated series, which added some new dimensions to the character.

Seinfeld was the biggest sitcom on television during the time it aired on NBC. Created by Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the show About Nothing was loved by everyone and it made the careers of Jerry Seinfeld who played himself, Julia Louis-Dreyfus who played Elaine Benes, and Jason Alexander who played the universally loved George. The series mostly followed four people hanging out and going on weird and absurdly comedic adventures. So, if you miss the hilarious comedy, unconventional but relatable characters, and timeless stories in Seinfeld, here are some similar shows you should check out next.

As BoJack Horseman's childhood hero Secretariat once said, "All that exists is what's ahead." And coinciding with Netflix's anthropomorphic existential adult animated series turning 10 just yesterday, we now know exactly what's ahead for the team who brought us BoJack Horseman. As revealed by the streamer itself, BoJack creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg is reteaming with Michael Eisner's Tornante Company and animation outfit ShadowMachine to bring a new adult animated offering to Netflix. No, it's not an actual series of BoJack's show-within-a-show Horsin' Around (we still live in hope!), but rather Long Story Short, a family saga that sounds ripe to be both as surreal and profound as its equine predecessor.
Bob-Waksberg is set to serve as writer, showrunner, and executive producer on the show, his third post-BoJack project having previously co-created timey-wimey Prime Video animation Undone and written on animated sitcom Tuca & Bertie. The characteristically playful and provocative logline...

It's a great day here at Netflix Life. Today, we celebrate another Netflix show's anniversary, and this time, it's an adult animated series. On Aug. 22, 2024, we commemorate the 10th anniversary of Netflix's first adult animated series, BoJack Horseman. Hip, hip, hooray!
Not only is BoJack Horseman Netflix's first adult animated show. It's also arguably the streamer's best one. The show premiered on Netflix with its 12-episode first season on Aug. 22, 2014, and people immediately swarmed the streamer to check it out. While the first season received mixed reviews once it came out, it's worth mentioning that the second half of the season received more of a positive response. The following five seasons received much praise from critics and viewers alike, with many people calling this show one of the best animated shows of recent years.

BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg has settled on his follow-up.
Long Story Short, as the new project is titled, is being billed as an adult animated comedy about a family, over time. As its formal logline reads: “It’s about the shared history, the inside jokes, the old wounds. If you’ve ever had a mother, father, sibling, partner, or child, this is the show for you and by the way would it kill you to call them?”
Bob-Waksberg will write, showrun and executive produce the series, which, like BoJack, hails from The Tornante Company.

It's been nearly two years since Peacock got the Community fandom’s hopes up, greenlighting the long-awaited feature-length film sequel of the cult NBC sitcom. But, filming still hasn't started, and while the double Hollywood union strikes in 2023 may have been partly to blame, Community has only ever been cursed by turmoil.
Community creator Dan Harmon was ousted after Season Three due to his “erratic behavior” and “oddball leadership style,” only to be reinstated before Season Five. Then, Community was canceled by NBC due to poor ratings after the fifth season, and picked up by Yahoo! Screen for the sixth and final chapter. And, throughout all that turmoil, core cast members came and went — including Chevy Chase, Donald Glover, Yvette Nicole Brown and John Oliver.
Needless to say, Community hasn't been lucky, but the fandom continues to loudly chant the show’s ongoing joke — which has now broken the fourth...

The time has come to acknowledge Dan Stevens for the scream king that he is. This year alone, his genre credits include Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Abigail, and director Tilman Singer’s new film Cuckoo, where he plays a mysterious and undeniably villainous resort owner named Herr König. In the same way that scream queens have helped shape and define the fabric of horror and its feminine roles, recurring scream kings like Stevens have similarly influenced the spectrum of masculinity represented in the genre.
After shocking Downton Abbey fans when he turned in his resignation nearly 12 years ago, it was unclear what Stevens’ career future would look like. Thankfully for us horror fans, his desire for diverse creative experiences quickly drew him towards genre fare. With his disarming good looks and willingness to get weird, wild, and downright drenched in blood, Stevens brings a palpable enthusiasm to every project he touches.

In the series, Johnny inspires weak kids to learn karate so that they can stand up to their bullies and fight to protect themselves. Still, everything goes wrong in a very entertaining way and many iconic characters from the Karate Kid movies appear in the series. So, if you love the teen drama, action comedy, and martial arts in Cobra Kai here are some similar shows you could watch while waiting for Cobra Kai Season 6 Part 2.

Stars: John Cena, Alison Brie, Juan Pablo Raba, Christian Slater, Alice Eve, Marton Csokas, Sebastian Eslava | Written by Jacob Lentz | Directed by Pierre Morel
Freelance, the latest film from WWE star turned actor John Cena, delivers an engaging mix of action and comedy, elements that Cena has increasingly become known for. Directed by Pierre Morel, this film pairs Cena with Alison Brie in a fast-paced narrative that explores themes of survival and unexpected camaraderie.
In Freelance, Cena plays an ex-special forces operative who is lured out of retirement to protect a journalist (played by Alison Brie) on an assignment in a war-torn country. What begins as a seemingly straightforward protection detail quickly spirals into chaos as they find themselves embroiled in a political conspiracy, forcing them to rely on each other and their wits to stay alive.
Cena’s portrayal of a seasoned, yet somewhat jaded, operative showcases his growing versatility as an actor.

Cena and Alison Brie bring the genre up to date, with the pair comically adept enough to rescue this rescue mission from being a lame duck
This haphazard comedy-action film mostly plays like the script was written on the discarded roach of a smoked joint, but the likability of the cast makes up for a lot. WWE champ turned thespian John Cena, who always seems to know how weird he looks with his swollen torso and tiny hips, stars as soldier-turned-lawyer family man Mason Pettits. Having never got over the trauma of a mission that turned sour in the lamely named fictional Latin American nation of Paldonia, Mason nurses a sense of failure that’s undermining his marriage to wife Jenny as they try to raise a young daughter (Molly McCann) together.
