Root Letter’s main story involves a relationship between pan pals. Now, pen pals is an idea that I assume the current younger generation have no idea about, although it’s not a whole lot different to messaging people you may have never met via the Internet. I guess in case some people don’t know ‘pen pals’ are two people that stay in touch and generally become friends via the use of written letters. I think between the ages of about 11 and 13 I had a pen pal who I would eventually meet in person once and we first wrote to each other through the pages of a video game magazine.

“When I said this was a yoga retreat, I was sort of not telling the truth,” the trailer for “Doomsday” begins.
As the title may have indicated, there are fewer sun salutations and more sex cult craze at this particular wellness center. Part “Midsommar,” part “Yellowjackets” (check out that Antler Queen crown!), and a whole lot of (alleged) Scientology, Daytime Emmy–nominated limited series “Doomsday” promises salvation in the sexiest — and scariest — way possible.
IndieWire exclusively premiered the new “Doomsday” trailer, introducing audiences to the residents of a millennial cult. Per the official logline, the series portrays how “youthful idealism evolves into deadly extremism” while documenting “the eerie final months leading up to a horrific Jim Jones–style massacre.”
The cast includes Alice Kremelberg (“The Sinner”), Donald Paul (“Queen of the South”), and Mark St. Cyr (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”). The series was nominated for the 2021 Daytime...
