Charlie Sheen isn't exactly quiet about his opinions, for better or for worse. So, what does he think of "The Big Bang Theory?" Not a whole lot!

In a 2013 interview with The Guardian, the troubled nepo baby went off on Chuck Lorre's hit sitcom while simultaneously bragging about his own successes; as he told interviewer Emma Brockes, he thinks that his sitcom "Two and a Half Men," which also had Lorre at the helm, kickstarted the success of "The Big Bang Theory."

"You gotta think about the shows that my show launched. I should have added in a clause that said anything that uses me as a lead-in, cut me in." (In the article, Brockes notes that "The Big Bang Theory" was supposed to run after Sheen's post-"Two and a Half Men" project "Anger Management.") From there, Sheen continued to crap...

Anna Kendrick was the latest guest on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” as her press tour for Netflix’s “Woman of the Hour” continues, and she told a heartfelt story about what it was like working with a Hollywood A-lister like George Clooney so early in her career. The two actors starred together in Jason Reitman’s acclaimed 2009 drama “Up in the Air” and both earned Oscar nominations for their performances. Kendrick said it was “completely terrifying” to film her first scene with Clooney.

“To other people he is kind of capital G, George, and he works really hard to make you forget that and feel comfortable,” Kendrick said. “The very first shot that he and I did together was my first shot in the movie. We were standing on this people mover, and we’re kind of waiting and the camera is pretty far away and he said,...

"Perhaps were all just playthings in the hands of fate... Alone, cast adrift..." Cartoon Network has debuted a fantastic 3-minute stop motion animated short film tribute to the cult classic animated series Over the Garden Wall. This original series debuted in 2014 and ran only 10 episodes for one season. It has since become a fan favorite and while they haven't ever continued with more episodes, they do recognize the love for it anyway and made this short to honor the fans. And let them know they appreciate their love. Created and animated by the legendary Aardman Animations in the UK this 3-minute short features Wirt, Greg and Beatrice reminiscing about the good ol' days. They got the original three voice actors back for this: Elijah Wood as Wirt, Melanie Lynskey as Beatrice, and Collin Dean as Greg, plus Frank Fairfield as the narrator. All of the little details in the forest are gorgeous,...

The popular animated miniseries “Over the Garden Wall” has a beautiful new stop-motion short film to mark its tenth anniversary this week. Fans of the show have reason to party. The three-minute special, made with Aardman Animation, brings back the original voice cast and captures the magical spirit that made the show a fan favorite.

For the anniversary project, carefully made wooden dolls of the show’s main characters—half-brothers Wirt and Greg and their friend Beatrice—are used to bring them back. Voice artists from the first series, like Elijah Wood, Collin Dean, and Melanie Lynskey, are also back, bringing back the show’s unique charm.

Directors Mikey Please and Dan Ojari and series author Patrick McHale created the short’s plot. The movie showcases Aardman’s famous craftsmanship with its detailed tiny sets that recreate the show’s unique ethereal mood.

At the start of the short, the...

"Over the Garden Wall" creator Patrick McHale always considered Aardman to be the pinnacle of animation, and he was always interested in the art of stop-motion. Though he's worked in some highly influential shows like "The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack" and "Adventure Time," and he did co-write the script to "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio," it wasn't until this year that he fulfilled his dream of working in stop-motion — and with Aardman, no less.

Just in time for its 10th anniversary, Cartoon Network released an "Over the Garden Wall" short film from Aardman and McHale, and it's a full circle moment for the animator in more ways than one. As McHale told Inverse, "In some ways, it seems like 'Over the Garden Wall' probably should have been realized in stop-motion all along — it just feels kind of right for that world," and he is absolutely right.

Actress Melanie Lynskey is one of the most prominent faces on television and in independent films. However, her most popular role is arguably her performance as Rose in the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. Despite impressing viewers and achieving critical acclaim in earlier and later stages of her career, Lynskey could not escape one mean-spirited criticism.

During an interview, Lynskey reflected on her lengthy career, having made her acting debut at 17. The actress opened up about her struggles with her weight and how her appearances on the hit sitcom led to typecasting in roles that insulted and shamed her physique. Here is what Lynskey had to say about being fat-shamed during her career in Hollywood.

Melanie Lynskey Recalled Being Fat-Shamed After Her Two and a Half Men Stint

Melanie Lynskey made her acting debut with Peter Jackson’s Heavenly Creatures.

Charlie Sheen was a well-established actor with multiple hits before transitioning to the small screen. His stint with CBS’s Two and a Half Men proved to be another success, and the show ran for multiple seasons before he left it.

Sheen’s role as the womanizer Charlie Harper also gave him a lot of notoriety due to this realistic performance. Throughout the series, Harper got involved with multiple women only some sticking around to be a serious love interest for the fickle character. A Reddit chain struck a heated debate arguing over two of the actor’s most celebrated onscreen girlfriends from the show.

Solonge was announced as recipient of the prestigious award at an Australians in Film event held last night at Soho House in West Hollywood attended by the likes of Yellowjackets actors Melanie Lynskey and Simone Kessell, The Bear co-showrunner Joanna Calo and Rabbit Proof Fence director Phillip Noyce.

The award was established in 2012 after The Dark Knight actor Ledger had tragically passed away. It has broadly become the key barometer and platform for new talent coming out of Hollywood, with previous recipients including American Horror Story: Apocalypse actor Cody Fern, Mojean Aria (Reminiscence), Ashleigh Cummings (Citadel), Charmaine Bingwa (Emancipation) and Rahel Romahn (A Mad Max Saga).

Solonge will receive a $10,000 living allowance, rent and transport assistance in LA, plus several other prizes aimed at building her career in Hollywood, such as private coaching, tax advice and headshot and publicity aid.

Fans of David Wain and Michael Showalter’s “They Came Together” will have a chance to celebrate the cult comedy’s 10th anniversary with a special screening and Q&a at Vidiots Foundation in Los Angeles on November 19. IndieWire can exclusively announce that the special screening will feature Wain, Poehler, Ed Helms, Melanie Lynskey, and Cobie Smulders in attendance. “They Came Together” composer Craig Wedren will also open the show with a musical performance.

Released in 2014, “They Came Together” saw Wain and Showalter reuniting with their “Wet Hot American Summer” stars Poehler and Rudd for a parody that applied the silly absurdism of their landmark summer camp movie to the rom-com genre. Lampooning classic New York rom-coms like “You’ve Got Mail,” the film stars Poehler as an independent candy store operator who inexplicably falls in love with Rudd’s corporate raider who is determined to...

Acclaimed actress Hilary Swank will join the supernatural drama series “Yellowjackets” for its upcoming third season. Swank is known for her roles in movies like “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Million Dollar Baby,” winning Oscars for both. The Showtime series tells the story of a girls’ high school soccer team that crashes in the woods. It flashes between their time surviving in the wild and present day.

Swank will join the talented cast that already includes Christina Ricci, Melanie Lynskey, Ella Purnell, and Sophie Thatcher. While details on Swank’s character are still secret, her addition has fans very curious. Many wonder if she will play a role in rescuing the team after the crash or help them years later. Television critic Sarah Jensen said Swank’s acting skills open many possibilities. “Whether in an authority position investigating their ordeal or supporting their recovery, her involvement promises impactful scenes and key plot shifts,...

Opposed to Charlie Sheen’s humungous salary in Two and a Half Men, who was racking in millions prior to his firing from the sitcom, Melanie Lynskey on the other hand was reportedly being paid the bare minimum. This would eventually contribute to her exit from the sitcom, as on top of being underpaid, The Last of Us star felt she was also undervalued compared to her peers.

The actress did appreciate the sitcom for giving her financial freedom in the 2000s, which allowed the Yellowjackets star to pursue her passion in the independent landscape.

While Independent releases can be an alluring alternative, given the creative freedom that comes with it, the paycheck isn’t often one of its enchanting aspects.

Heartstopper Season 3 (October 3)

Get ready...

The Last Of Us has established itself as a fantastic zombie drama that is even better than The Walking Dead in many ways! Here's why.

Debuting in 2023, The Last of Us became an instant sensation. Adapted from the acclaimed video game sereis by Naughty Dog, the show takes place in a world where a deadly plague has killed millions around the world and mutated many more into dangerous feral creatures. Survivors are scattered, with society collapsing into different types of rule with several American cities under ruthless military control.

Joel (Pedro Pascal) is a hardened man making a semi-criminal living when he's hired by the Fireflies, a paramilitary group fighting the oppressive military rule over what's left of civilization. Joel is hired to escort Ellie (Bella Ramsey), a young teen who, for some reason, is immune to the plague and might hold the key to a cure. That takes them...

They join an ensemble that includes Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Liv Hewson, and Courtney Eaton as teenage versions of the main characters in 1996, and Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, Lauren Ambrose, and Simone Kessell as adult versions in the present.

Fans of the Karate Kid franchise have long been waiting to see Hilary Swank pop up for a cameo (or more) on the Cobra Kai TV series – and while that show is nearing the end of its six season run and running out of opportunities to have Swank appear (she has said that she’s not going to), another show has officially locked her in for a recurring role. The Hollywood Reporter has broken the news that Swank has joined the cast of Yellowjackets season 3!

Details on Swank’s character are being kept under wraps, but The Hollywood Reporter was told that “she’ll make her first appearance in the latter stages of the season.”

Filming for Season 3 started in May of this year and is scheduled for a 2025 premiere.

The thriller originally premiered on Showtime in 2021. Created by Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, it alternates between two timelines, one that follows a group of teenagers in 1996 who were involved in a plane crash and a second one that chronicles the consequences of those events in their adult lives in 2021.

The outlet goes on to speculate, “Details about Swank’s character, which will be introduced later in the season, have not been revealed. Based on the setup of the show, she could conceivably be playing the contemporary, adult version of a teen on the soccer team whose story has not been fully explored yet.”

Joel McHale (Becky) recently joined the “Yellowjackets” Season 3 cast as well.

Ashley Lyle & Bart Nickerson created the hit series, while Jonathan Lisco is the showrunner.

The series chronicles their descent from a complicated but thriving team to savage clans, while also tracking the lives they’ve attempted to piece back together nearly 25 years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.

"The Big Bang Theory" was never a critics' darling, to the extent that reviewers were a bit stunned when they found themselves gradually won over by "Young Sheldon," but both series were massive Nielsen ratings hits that managed to attract loads of big-name guest stars. The former earned its nerd bona fides by landing appearances from "Star Trek" legends like Leonard Nimoy and LeVar Burton, while touching television immortality by casting sitcom god Bob Newhart as Professor Proton. As for "Young Sheldon," the producers happily welcomed Newhart back as the TV science host, and also brought on notable talents like Melanie Lynskey, Jason Alexander, and Lance Reddick.

So no matter how you feel about these ultra-mainstream shows, you've got to accept that there is no shame in playing the cameo game within "The Big Bang Theory" universe.

Now that we know CBS will be delving further into this geek-pandering realm...

Avatar: The Last Airbender has found its Toph: Miya Cech (The Santa Clauses) will play the fan-favorite character in Season 2, which has begun production, Netflix announced during Geeked Week 2024.

"WandaVision" is considered one of (if not the) best live-action Marvel shows from the Disney+ era, so the spin-off series about Agatha Harkness had some mighty big shoes to fill. The winking witch from Salem, Massachusetts who was ousted by her own coven for using dark magic popped up in the Westview Anomaly created by Wanda "Scarlet Witch" Maximoff over 300 years later, taking on the "nosy neighbor" moniker of Agnes and manipulating the idyllic sitcom-inspired paradise Wanda created to protect herself. Once the Scarlet Witch realized Agnes was Agatha in disguise and she was responsible for all of the chaos, Wanda stripped her of her powers and sentenced her to live out her life as Agnes in Westview indefinitely.

This brings us to "Agatha All Along," a look at what has happened since Agatha was condemned and the death of Wanda Maximoff in "Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness...

The last several years of working on the “Only Murders in the Building” set have been filled with tons of pinch-me moments for Michael Cyril Creighton. But in Season 4 in particular, the actor jokes he’s been “extremely bruised.”

“I’d walk in and I’d be working with Eva Longoria, who I’m a giant fan of; or I’d be watching Eugene Levy do a scene. And then to get to spar with Zach Galifianakis, that wasn’t on my bingo card. I didn’t know that was going to happen, and it is one of my favorite things I’ve done on screen,” the actor told TheWrap. “It’s always surprising and exciting to walk on that set, because you just don’t know what legend you’re going to be acting with that day.”

On Sept. 1, Netflix shared some good news with its subscriber base. It announced that the first season of the popular Showtime horror-thriller series Yellowjackets would be coming to the streaming platform in October. We definitely didn't see this coming, but we couldn't be more excited. Yellowjackets season 1 is slated to land on Netflix on Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2024.

Recently, we've seen the release of several Showtime series on Netflix. For example, the streamer added the anthology drama series Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, the drama miniseries Patrick Melrose and the legal drama series Your Honor to its platform in May 2024. Then, in June, we saw the addition of all eight seasons of the hit crime drama series Dexter on Netflix.

Andy Muschietti's mega-blockbuster adaptation of "It" kicked off a new boom of Stephen King adaptations when it hit theaters in 2017, but if we were in a boom, is it safe to say we've now hit a bust? There are still tons of new King adaptations coming (I'm excited to see Osgood Perkins' take on "The Monkey" and Bryan Fuller's horned-up "Christine" update), but the massive hits have slowed down (remember "Firestarter?"), and one major adaptation, Warner Bros' "'Salem's Lot," is only now coming out after years of sitting on the shelf.

The works of Stephen King will always continue to be rich and entertaining, whether they're dominating the pop cultural zeitgeist or not. But if one title exemplifies the fickleness of the recent King adaptation boom, it's "Castle Rock," a wonderfully complicated, delightfully mysterious King-adjacent series that unceremoniously died on the vine at Hulu despite delivering two great seasons of television.

While fans of the Showtime series Yellowjackets (read our review of season 2 Here) patiently wait to see the bonus episode that’s going to air sometime between the second and third seasons, the third season of the show has already been filming in Canada for months now, aiming for a 2025 premiere. As cameras continue to roll, Variety has learned that Community‘s Joel McHale has joined the cast, taking on a guest star role. Details on the character McHale will be playing have not been revealed.

No premiere date has been set for Season 3 of the popular series at the time of this publishing, but the new episodes are currently in production. Season 2 aired in early 2023, with Paramount having renewed the show ahead of the Season 2 premiere.

Exact details on McHale’s character in the series are being kept under wraps. The cast of the show includes Melanie Lynskey, Sophie Nélisse, Juliette Lewis, Christina Ricci, Samantha Hanratty, Tawny Cypress, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Courtney Eaton, Lauren Ambrose, Liv Hewson, Steven Krueger, Warren Kole, and Kevin Alves.

The official description of “Yellowjackets” says the show is the “saga of a team of wildly talented high school girls soccer players who become the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the remote northern wilderness. The series chronicles their descent from a...

Joel McHale has joined the cast of “Yellowjackets” for Season 3 in a guest star role, Showtime announced Tuesday. It’s not yet known who the “Community” alum will play, but it’s far more likely that he’ll appear in the contemporary storyline with Christina Ricci, Melanie Lynskey and Tawny Cypress than in the 1996 timeframe.

Male characters on the show have not fared so well, so start laying your bets about the odds of McHale making it to the end of the season.

We’re also not clear if his role will be as meaty as Elijah Wood’s, who was an integral part of Season 2 as Citizen Detective Walter Tattersall, or as fleeting as “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” star John Cameron Mitchell, who appeared in just one hallucinogen-induced scene in a single episode.

Season 3 of the Emmy-nominated Showtime series won’t be released until 2025. Co-creator Ashley Lyle told...

“If we are sentimental, we will fail,” reveals twice Emmy-nominated “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” composer Kara Talve about her initial discussions with co-composer Hans Zimmer and the series’ creative team and their shared desire to steer clear of overly sentimentalizing the drama. “The imagery in this show speaks for itself. The story speaks for itself, right? I mean, we know that the horrors that happened at Auschwitz. It’s just unimaginable and because of that, the music itself has to also be unimaginable and unthinkable,” she explains during our recent webchat. “We really wanted to create this abstract environment that subtly supported the characters, let them lead the performance and never be epic because it just immediately feels wrong and disrespectful. And the last thing we wanted to do was overstep, especially in a series like this. It’s not just a story. It’s literally somebody’s truth, so...

Griffin Nafly was looking forward to a summer devoted to his playwriting. As the school year ended, the 14-year-old had big plans to continue developing his latest work, Regrets of Autumn, with help from friends. Griffin took his art seriously, dedicating endless hours to perfecting his craft. While his peers focused on more typical teen interests, Griffin’s mind was set on his up-and-coming production.

Set in Griffin’s rural hometown, the film introduces us to his vibrant community. Though it’s a small town, it’s filled with colorful characters like Griffin and his band of creatives. Helping bring his artistic visions to life are his mother Helen and close friend Kara, who serves as director. With their support, Griffin was ready to dive into the work.

However, the summer didn’t go exactly as he planned. When Helen hired handyman Brad to assist with chores, it threw a wrench in Griffin’s process.

Two and a Half Men was a sitcom goldmine that launched countless careers. Ashton Kutcher’s arrival as a replacement for Charlie Sheen kept the laughter rolling, but behind the scenes, a different story was unfolding. Melanie Lynskey, the quirky and unforgettable Rose, seemed to have hit the jackpot with a $200k per episode salary.

However, the reality turned out to be quite different from what many had anticipated. In reality, the actress was earning the lowest salary on the show, and her contractual issues were so severe they could rival even Sheen’s notorious departure.

In the early 2000s, Melanie Lynskey gained prominence for her role as Rose in the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. Her character’s quirky, soft-spoken demeanor alternated...

Two and a Half Men was released in 2003 and followed the lives of… well, two men and a little kid living together. The show followed the several ups and downs of Charlie Sheen, Jon Cryer, and, Angus T. Jones’ ups and downs throughout the show.

During the final seasons of the show, Sheen and Cryer had a fallout and he was replaced by Ashton Kutcher. However, Angus T. Jones, who portrayed the role of Jake Harper in the series also had an outburst against his own show!

Angus T. Jones Had A Meltdown

In his teenage years, T. Jones went on to become one of the highest-paid child actors of all time for his role as Jake Harper in Two and a Half Men. During the final seasons of the show, Charlie Sheen was replaced by Ashton Kutcher.

Two and a Half Men at one point was one of the most popular TV shows on our screen. While Charlie Sheen takes away the most credit for making the show as popular as it is today, there were an ample amount of memorable characters who added to the series’ charm and appeal. Apart from its many male characters, the show also had some memorable female characters who contributed to the show’s clever plot and stood out for their impeccable portrayal.

While Melaine Lynskey’s Rose is a more prominent female character to be featured in the show, another character gets severely overlooked despite her dynamic presence: Kelly Stables’ Melissa.

HBO/Max has released the first official teaser for the second season of The Last of Us, and in addition to featuring some shots that should be very familiar to fans of the second video game, it gives us a first look at several new characters, including Jeffrey Wright as the villainous Isaac and Kaitlyn Dever as Abby Anderson.

We only catch a couple of brief glimpses of the young woman who will go on to become Ellie's (Bella Ramsey) nemesis, but the shots of Abby crawling through the snow while infected attempt to get tear through a chain-link fence suggests that season 2 will stick pretty close to the game when it comes to certain events.

We also see Joel (Pedro Pascal) being asked if he hurt Ellie in season 1 by Catherine O'Hara's (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) mysterious character, to which he tearfully replies, "no... I saved her."
