The cult classic Poog podcast has rebranded to Berlant and Novak and will operate under the Backyard Ventures network. Kate and Jacqueline are excited to move forward with whatever topics they so choose, be it: the artist's grind, friendship, travel, food escapades, and more. These best friends, sisters really, unpack life's greatest pleasures and struggles in a whole new format that feels just like coming home.

Poog garnered a devoted fanbase before its sudden and untimely demise, which devastated many. New York Magazine even featured the show's seeming cancellation in their Culture Graphs, describing it as "highbrow/despicable." Just a week after its abrupt end, Kate and Jacqueline launched an indie version behind a paywall, rapidly gaining subscribers. Now, they’re back and free for all listeners with Berlant and Novak. Dedicated Poog fans, lovingly called “hags,” will be thrilled to know that when asked in a recent Ama if they’re “still hags,...

Before the premiere of Season 6, Curb Your Enthusiasm had already established itself as a groundbreaking sitcom and one of the best shows of the Golden Age of cable television in the 2000s. With this new season, Larry David's worthy follow-up to Seinfeld was elevated to new heights with the arrival of the Blacks, a New Orleans family affected by Hurricane Katrina whom Larry and Cheryl Hines shelter in their home. In Episode 2, "The Anonymous Donor," Loretta (Vivica A. Fox) invites her brother, who already lives in Los Angeles, to the David house. Her brother, Leon Black (J.B. Smoove), began as a visitor, then situated himself as a temporary resident, and then, six seasons later, became Larry's permanent houseguest and closest confidant. Most importantly to the show's success, no co-star of David's was as consistently funny as Leon throughout his duration on Curb.

Year after year, TV fans continue to be irked when the Golden Globes combine supporting performances from comedies, dramas, limited series and TV movies altogether. Looking through the list of past winners in the female category, you can clearly see there’s a bias toward rewarding dramatic roles over comedic ones. In fact, it’s been a whopping 13 years since a supporting actress from a comedy series prevailed: Jane Lynch (“Glee”). Is there a comedy curse at the Golden Globes? If so, it could finally end this year, as Gold Derby predicts Meryl Streep (“Only Murders in the Building”) will win the race for Best TV Supporting Actress on Sunday, January 7.

Streep plays Loretta Durkin on the Hulu hit, an out-of-work theater actress who decides to audition for a Broadway play directed by Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) in order to get closer to one of the other characters. Loretta is tailor-made for awards recognition,...

Warning! Spoilers for the Night Court season 2 premiere.

Marsha Warfield is interested in a potential Night Court spinoff focused on her character, Roz. However, a spinoff would require more than just Warfield's interest, including a network or streaming platform pursuing it. Night Court's ratings decline in season 1 means a spinoff is unlikely, but Warfield is open to returning to the revival series in the future.

Roz actor Marsha Warfield shares her thoughts on a potential Night Court spinoff after returning to the revival series. Warfield starred as Roz, a bailiff, in seasons 4-9 of the original show. She first reprised her role for the new Night Court's season 1 finale in May 2023. She then returned for the season 2 premiere, which introduced audiences to her fiancée, Loretta.

In honor of her character's return in Night Court season 2, Warfield spoke with JoBlo Celebrity Interviews about her experience on the show. Check...

Warning: Spoilers for the Night Court season 2 premiere.

Marsha Warfield appreciates that the Night Court revival casually reveals that her character, Roz, is gay. The season 2 premiere of Night Court focuses on Roz's love life, with her suspecting her partner of cheating. However, it turns out to be a surprise for her, leading to a positive resolution. Warfield is open to returning to Night Court, and her character's storyline makes future appearances possible.

Night Court star Marsha Warfield discusses season 2's Roz reveal. NBC's revival of the popular 1980s sitcom ended season 1 with Warfield reprising her role as Rosalind "Roz" Russell from the original Night Court. The recent season 2 premiere builds on that, highlighting Roz's reunion with John Larroquette's Dan Fielding and revealing details about Roz's love life.

In comments to TheWrap, Warfield opened up about joining the Night Court season 2 cast for the first episode and talked...

Night Court is back for Season 2, and Dan Fielding is back in Abby’s courtroom… except he’s the one facing charges this time.

We pick up where we left off, with Dan working as a judge in his native Louisiana and reuniting with his old pal Roz (hi, Marsha Warfield!) in his courtroom’s holding cell. She got arrested for throwing a bouncer through a window during her bachelorette party — which is one way to celebrate your upcoming nuptials, we guess. Roz is now working as a private investigator (“I’ve broken up more marriages than Vegas and nanny...

The recently-released Mash reunion lacked the magic of previous reunions due to the actors doing their interviews separately, preventing interactions among the cast members. The format of the 2023 special focused more on the history of Mash, rather than fun anecdotes and stories shared by the actors. Despite its shortcomings, the 2023 Mash reunion was still a good project, considering the age of the cast members and its significance as a milestone year for the show.

The Mash reunion co-executive producer John Scheinfeld reveals the harsh reality of doing the special. In celebration of its legendary finale's 40th anniversary, the surviving cast members of the groundbreaking war series came together for a two-hour look back at their time on the show. As exciting as it was, however, some production secrets somehow tone down the magic of the recently-released Mash reunion.

Speaking to TV Line, Scheinfeld opens up about how the Mash project came to be,...

The leeches scene in The Lost City is praised for its realistic depiction by a survival expert, rating it a perfect 10/10 for realism. The scene adds another layer to the movie's comedy-adventure genre and is one of the most memorable moments. The leeches in the scene were props, but their realistic appearance enhances the scene and adds to Sandra Bullock's comedic performance.

The Lost City gets one jungle scene completely right, according to survival expert Hazen Audel. The 2022 movie, which combines elements of the romantic comedy and action-adventure genres, follows a romance novelist (played by Sandra Bullock) and her cover model (played by Channing Tatum) who embark on a perilous jungle adventure after getting swept up in a kidnapping attempt. One of the movie's standout comedic moments occurs when Tatum's character becomes covered in leeches, which Bullock's character must remove from his bare back and buttocks.

In a video from Insider,...

NBC took a big swing in 2023 in not only reviving Night Court but in bringing it back with the aim of returning to the classic sitcom style.

Seriously, how long has it been since we've heard a proper laugh track? An entire generation of TV viewers has never experienced the joy of a well-timed pratfall shared with a hundred faceless "live studio audience" members. It's a darned shame, it is.

That big swing connected with audiences and ratings, and NBC renewed the fledgling series a scant few weeks after its premiere in January. But with that jaw-dropping, game-changer finale, where will they go with Season 2?

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Night Court Season 1 Episode 16.

With the universal agreement that John Laroquette is the comedic foundation upon which the revival is built, it came as a shock on the finale when he follows through on his intention to leave Manhattan for a judgeship in Louisiana.

This article contains spoilers through Only Murders in the Building season 3 episode 4.

If you’re like us, you’re neck-deep in Only Murders in the Building theories with almost half of season 3 already completed. This season’s victim, Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd), appeared to have died twice in the season opener, and both the trio of podcasters at the center of the show and the viewers who joyfully follow their misadventures have been eagerly piecing together the murder mystery puzzle with four episodes worth of material to mull over. The most recent episode “The White Room” added some needed context to an earlier development in the case, and many fans online may have already cracked the code.

Remember back in the first episode of the season when Ben was treating the cookies offered to him at the table read for Oliver’s (Martin Short) play as an arch-nemesis of sorts?...

Only Murders in the Building has returned with a riveting Season 3, and the slow episodic rollout has audiences even more excited for it. The highly acclaimed show is the perfect mix of mystery, comedy, and drama, but the stellar ensemble of characters brings these elements to life. The leading trio of Mabel, Oliver, and Charles are the most charismatic, but Omitb keeps a revolving door of funny and eclectic characters in every season.

The Arconia itself is full of hilarious and mysterious residents, many of which (strangely) have murderous tendencies. The show has extended beyond just the Arconia, inviting more distinctive characters into the fold. These are the best characters in Only Murders in the Building.

Ah, relationships!

They are so much fun when all parties are into the arrangement and can be quite beautiful, actually. But like there is beauty, there must also be ugliness.

In Only Murders in the Building Season 3 Episode 3, we swooned over Oliver and Loretta's new attraction to each other, and theirs was an example of a healthy relationship thus far.

They built each other up and saw everything great about the other person that the rest of the world fails or refuses to see.

Only Murders In the Building Season 3 Episode 4 delivered a drastically contrasting look into Charles and Joy's relationship. It showed all the wrong reasons they were together and why the relationship might be doomed.

The following contains spoilers for Only Murders in the Building Season 3, Episode 3, "Grab Your Hankies," which debuted Tuesday, Aug. 15, on Hulu.

The third episode of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building's Season 3, "Grab Your Hankies," had a lot of mystery, exciting changes and a lot of pizzazz as Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) is trying to figure out how to get his show on Broadway by attempting the impossible -- re-imagining the play as a musical. However, it also shows a lot of emotion and vulnerability. Despite the fact that the original material, "Death Rattle," was initially a murder mystery, Oliver tries his hardest to give it a makeover as a musical, letting himself be truly vulnerable.

That's how Academy Award-winning actress Meryl Streep's Loretta Durkin ends up singing a breathtaking lullaby to impress the producers. Emily in Paris' Ashley Park joins her for an emotional duet with a new,...

Meryl Streep sings in Only Murders in the Building season 3, episode 3, performing the lullaby-turned-ballad "Look for the Light." The song was written specifically for Streep's voice with the help of Broadway composers Sara Bareilles, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul. Streep has a long history of singing onscreen, with notable performances in films like Mamma Mia! and Into the Woods. "Look for the Light" showcases her impressive vocal talent once again.

When Meryl Streep’s character sings a song in Only Murders in the Building season 3, episode 3, viewers may wonder whether that's the actor’s real voice. It is not uncommon for actors to use voice doubles when a role requires them to sing since not every thespian is a born crooner. However, it is just as common for actors to handle their singing by themselves, no matter how ambitious an undertaking this might be. As such, it is understandable for...

Fan are finding a new reason to love Meryl Streep thanks to her lullaby in the latest episode of “Only Murders in the Building,” which you can watch in the video above.

In the third season of Hulu’s murder mystery, Streep plays Loretta Durkin, a struggling actress who finds her big break in Oliver’s (Martin Short) latest play. The scene starts as all of the character’s do: Loretta is supposed to perform a small scene for her small role. But seconds into her performance of “Look for the Light,” her on-stage charisma and raw talent transfix her castmates.

By the song’s end, Kimber (Ashley Park) joins her on stage as they both belt out this delicate lullaby.

Though “Only Murders in the Building’s” latest episode premiered on Tuesday, by Wednesday fans were singing the song’s praises. “I’ve been listening to it on Spotify for 12 hours now,...

Meryl Streep has captured the hearts of the last remaining humans unaware of her enchanting charm with her performance of “Look for the Light” from the latest episode of Only Murders in the Building Season 3.

In the newly-released clip, Streep’s long-suffering actress Loretta reveals her powerful musical stage chops in front of the show’s familiar residents of The Arconia including Martin Short’s normally fickle Oliver and Steve Martin’s noticeably befuddled Charles. Without giving away too many plot details, Streep sings the lullaby-tinged number with the conviction of an actress whose career is on the line, yet she’s clearly struck a chord with the audience as she’s joined mid-song by fellow Season 3 recurring cast-member and real-life Broadway star Ashley Park. Watch the full solo showcase-turned-duet below.

“Look for the Light” was written specifically for Streep’s character by Sara Bareilles along with the Grammy, Oscar,...

Jesse Williams was delighted by Only Murders in the Building's Grey's Anatomy reference, showing his appreciation for the homage to his previous show. The playful connection between Only Murders in the Building and Grey's Anatomy indicates the latter's enduring popularity and how actors are associated with their roles even after leaving a successful show. The possibility of a Grey's Anatomy spinoff teased in Only Murders in the Building aligns with the show's history of sparking spinoffs, while also playfully satirizing the tendency of procedural franchises to expand into other departments and cities.

Only Murders in the Building season 3's sly Grey's Anatomy reference earned a delighted reaction from former Seattle Grace doctor Jesse Williams. Hulu's hit murder mystery series returned earlier this month and plunged viewers into the twisty investigation surrounding the death of famous actor Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd). Only Murders in the Building season 3 has introduced a slew of newcomers,...

[This story contains spoilers for “Grab Your Hankies,” the third episode of the third season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building.]

Only Murders in the Building showrunner John Hoffman is sharing Jesse Williams’ reaction to the Grey’s Anatomy reference in season three of the hit series.

During the third episode, Meryl Streep’s Loretta Durkin learned that she landed an audition for an “offshoot of an offshoot of a Grey’s Anatomy spinoff,” called Grey’s New Orleans: Family Burn Unit.

“It’s for the mother of a dermatologist, so she has a backstory. And lines!” Loretta tells Martin Short’s Oliver in the episode. “And the producers said they might give her a limp, so… it’s juicy!”

John Hoffman revealed to TV Line, in an interview published online Tuesday, that Williams, who plays documentarian Tobert on Only Murders, was “howling at the reference” while they were doing a table read prior to filming.

“Jesse was very sweet about that,” he added. “And it’s a real homage.

We’ve all come to love Only Murders in the Building for a variety of different reasons. Whether it’s the show’s ability to create a setting and give hints about the story through the title sequence, or the quick-witted jokes delivered by comedic legends, this Hulu staple has something to draw every type of viewer in. But at its heart, Only Murders in the Building is a murder mystery . . . hence the name of the show. For 10 episodes, it’s immensely fun to try to put all the puzzle pieces together and deduce who the killer is. Early on in the season, this task is always more difficult than later on. We don’t have much to go on yet, and the show tries to intentionally direct our attention to diversions or red herrings that will later be revealed as facades.

The third episode of Only Murders in the Building raises questions about the mysterious relationship between Ben and Kimber, hinting at a potential motive for murder. The surprising alliance between Loretta and Dickie, revealed in episode 3, raises questions about their relationship and whether they conspired against Ben. Dickie's anger and apology in Ben's apartment after his death raises suspicion and the possibility that he may have been involved in Ben's murder.

"Only Murders In The Building" has always been more about the hangouts than the mysteries. It's something Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin), and Oliver (Martin Short) more or less admit to each other in the show's latest season, when they note that without a murder to investigate, the trio hasn't been able to spend much quality time together lately. Of course, all of that changes when a-hole superstar Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) drops dead on stage, only to be revived at the hospital and drop dead again in an elevator shaft in the Arconia apartments.

Despite the gruesome, strange mystery at the center of this season, it's more clear than ever that "Only Murders In The Building" is built to entertain us more than stump us. Its three amateur sleuths seem distracted, and...

Nothing makes a show more tedious than one where relationships lack depth.

Only Murders In the Building Season 3 Episodes 1 and 2 did a great job introducing many characters and teased something romantic between Loretta and Oliver, but it felt odd and awkward.

People are drawn to each other for particular reasons, whether it is shared interests or an identifiable trait that the other person really admires or likes.

Only Murders In the Building Season 3 Episode 3 spent most of its runtime fleshing out the special relationship between Loretta and Oliver and that between Tobert and Mabel.

When Oliver first saw Loretta during her audition, he knew she was special and wanted her in his musical. She appreciated that because no one had ever believed in her as Oliver did.

He went to bat for her with his lead actor, and that meant a lot.

A good turn deserves another, and it was...

Only Murders in the Building season 3 takes the show in a new direction by diving into the world of Broadway, a natural progression for Oliver's character. The decision to focus on Broadway allows for character evolution and redemption for Oliver, similar to what Charles and Mabel experienced in prior seasons. The Broadway setting keeps the show fresh and has the potential for a long and successful run, as evidenced by the show's high ratings and positive reception.

After two seasons of apartment shenanigans, co-creator/executive producer John Hoffman teases the scope of Only Murders in the Building season 3's Broadway setting. Picking up from season 2's cliffhanger, the next chapter of the Hulu show sees Steve Martin's Charles, Martin Short's Oliver and Selena Gomez's Mabel investigating the murder of Paul Rudd's Ben on the opening night of Oliver's new Broadway play. The group will find...

Of the main additions to the cast of "Only Murders in the Building" season 3, Loretta (Meryl Streep) is perhaps the most compelling. She's a talented actress who has nevertheless gone her whole life without booking a part, not until Oliver (Martin Short) notices her for his new play. When Oliver asks her that long-awaited question, "Where have you been?" her reaction is one of the show's most heartwarming, beautiful moments. Throughout the first two episodes, Streep is deeply sympathetic in her role as an underdog actress trying desperately not to blow her first big shot; it's just a shame she might have killed a dude.

But regardless of whether adult Loretta is a murderer, we at least know child Loretta was innocent. The opening scene where child Loretta goes to a Broadway musical and falls in love with the theater is still pure and wholesome,...

On August 8, 2023, Hulu premiered the third season of its Emmy-winning comedy “Only Murders in the Building.” The series starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez is holding fresh at 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, proving the true-crime-obsessed trio hasn’t missed a beat. The critics consensus reads, “Relocating the action to the theatre, ‘Only Murders in the Building’ can take a bow for yet another twisty mystery handled with a good-humored touch.” Read our full review round-up below.

“Only Murders in the Building” is nominated for 11 2023 Emmys including Best Comedy Series and Best Comedy Actor (Short). In 2022 the program was up for 17, winning three for Best Comedy Guest Actor (Nathan Lane), Best Production Design (Half-Hour) and Best Sound Mixing (Half-Hour). In Season 3, Oliver Putnam’s (Short) career comeback is in jeopardy when a murder disrupts his Broadway play, and it seems almost everyone involved is suspicious. This third cycle features new...

Each addition drives this season’s murder mystery, particularly Paul Rudd’s Ben Glenroy, whose second and certain death earns him consideration on the murder podcast.

Also entering the puzzle this season is Meryl Streep as aspiring actress Loretta Durkin, who auditions and gets cast in the role of The Nanny by Oliver himself in his new play. All her life she has been waiting to hear the words he says to her after she finishes her monologue. Ben Glenroy brings some interesting people along with him — mainly his manager and adopted brother Dickey (Jeremy Shamos) and his cameraman Tobert (Jesse Williams).

Having Meryl Streep join the A-list cast adds to the show's prestige, with her character Loretta sparking a romance with Oliver and bringing out her incredible acting talent.

Only Murders in the Building has been a huge hit for Steve Martin and Martin Short, who along with Selena Gomez have given murder mystery fans a great time across two seasons. Now the opening of Season 3 has delivered a massive twist already in its first episode that has guaranteed the success of the latest run of the show.

Only Murders in the Building explores why Meryl Streep's character struggled at the table read, highlighting her unique process to find her voice as a performer. The table read establishes the conflict between Loretta and Ben, the lead actor in the play, which sparks a romance between Loretta and Oliver, who defends her talent despite Ben's urging to fire her. The conflict between Loretta and Ben makes her a prime suspect in Ben's poisoning and his subsequent death, but the show tends to offer more surprising reveals, suggesting Loretta might not be the obvious suspect.

Only Murders in the Building Season 3 debuted with a surprising twist on Aug. 8, which co-creator and showrunner John Hoffman recently explained.

The new season begins with a clever double-bluff that initially had viewers questioning who the real victim was. "The part I liked the most is this twist on the classic murder-mystery thing, where you have a room full of people - suspects, potentially - and here we have the victim himself going around the room and picking out potential suspects for our audience at home," Hoffman told TV Line. "And then it's a double twist [once Ben dies in the Arconia] that sets up our trio."

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from the first two episodes of “Only Murders in the Building” Season 3, “The Show Must…” and “The Beat Goes On,” now streaming on Hulu.

When “Only Murders in the Building” picks up at the start of Season 3, fans aren’t greeted with the familiar faces of crime-solving trio Mabel (Selena Gomez), Oliver (Martin Short) and Charles (Steve Martin). Instead, they’re dropped into a 1962 production of “No Strings” on Broadway, seen through the eyes of a pigtailed 10-year-old later revealed to be actor (and murder suspect) Loretta Durkin, portrayed as an adult by Meryl Streep.

For series co-creator and writer John Hoffman, who also directed the first two episodes of the new season, meeting Streep for the first time was daunting — until she revealed a surprising connection to her character that put him immediately at ease.

“My nerves were off the charts,” Hoffman recalls...

Only Murders in the Building’s second season ended on a massive cliffhanger. Paul Rudd’s character, Ben Gilroy, drops dead on the opening night of Oliver’s play “Death Rattle.” This perfectly sets the stage for Oliver, Charles, and Mabel to do what they do best. Season 3 involves the trio solving Ben’s untimely death. The first two episodes of this season offer audiences plenty to unpack. One of the most surprising pieces of information is revealed at the end of episode one.

Ben did not really die on the stage! He died later, as the trio found him dead in the Arconia's elevator. This throws Oliver into a state of disarray about his work and general creative talent. That also includes the question, "Can his play even continue without a leading man?"

Meanwhile, Mabel and Charles begin an investigation of Ben’s death. It’s a lot of information to unpack,...

If you’re going to cast Meryl Streep in your production, you have one (main) job.

It’s something that Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” showrunner John Hoffman is well aware of; that his audience — be they Day 1 Arconiacs or curious new viewers — are here for one main thing in Season 3: to watch Streep kill (both literally and figuratively). In the premiere episodes, “Only Murders” more than delivers on that promise.

Season 3 opens with two episodes: “The Show Must…” directed by Hoffman and written by Hoffman & Sas E. Goldberg, and “The Beat Goes On,” directed by Hoffman and written by Ben Smith & Joshua Allen Griffith. Hour 1 spotlights Streep’s Loretta Durkin, a seasoned yet green performer in her first major acting role, while the second episode shifts focus to Paul Rudd’s superstar braggart Ben Glenroy, this season’s murder victim.

After falling for Loretta’s show-stopping audition monologue,...

Season 2 of "Only Murders in the Building" ended on a massive cliffhanger: a death on a Broadway stage, where an actor topples halfway through his performance. The actor in question is Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd), known best for playing "Co-Bro," a "friendly zoologist" who turns into a cobra (!) but helps save the day in the end. Ben is as dramatic as his fictional role as Co-Bro, and his sudden death takes everyone present by surprise, including a distressed Oliver (Martin Short), director of the stage play, "Death Rattle."

Over the first two seasons of the show, it has been established that Oliver is a struggling thespian who yearns to recapture the fame he had tasted while directing "Splash!" years ago. A combination of factors, including the multiple deaths at the Arconia, leads him to Broadway again, allowing him...

We have another murder in the building, Arconiacs!

After a murder-free year, the first supposed death of Ben Gilroy hit everyone with a bang, and Mabel's reaction on Only Murders In the Building Season 2 Episode 10 was a testament to another death plaguing the building.

The probability of someone being in the center of murders three times in a row is very low.

Yet on Only Murders In the Building Season 3 Episode 1, Ben died, was resurrected, and died properly. And each time, Mabel suspected foul play.

We were reunited with our offbeat trio, and in the two-episode season premiere, they seemed out of sync. Sure, there was the same old banter between the three, which never gets old, but it didn't feel like old times.

Charles: I know you're nervous. I know your last Broadway show was a disaster. Everyone knows that. The world knows it.

Mabel: Fast forward, fast forward.

We are here today to pay our final respects to the late Ben Glenroy, who died for a second time during Only Murders in the Building‘s Season 3 premiere.

That’s right! Paul Rudd’s alter ego survived being poisoned on opening night of Death Rattle. However, shortly thereafter, CoBro made like Rosalind Shays and plummeted to his death in the Arconia’s elevator shaft.

In its third season, Only Murders in the Building continues to strive to balance the genuine intrigue of a murder mystery with a light satire of true-crime culture and whodunit clichés. The results are consistently amusing but hardly as riveting as other iterations of this subgenre—including Poker Face and the previous two seasons of Only Murders in the Building.

The show’s unlikely trio of amateur sleuths—washed-up TV star Charles Haden Savage (Steve Martin), disgraced Broadway director Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and rudderless millennial Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez)—had sworn to only investigate murders that take place in their high-end Manhattan apartment complex, but last season’s coda teased a challenge to their agreement: a murder outside the building! The third season picks up in the immediate aftermath of that finale, when megastar actor Ben Gilroy (Paul Rudd) dropped dead in the midst of the premiere of the...

It’s showtime — literally and figuratively — for season three of Only Murders in the Building. The Emmy-winning series returns to Hulu on Aug. 8 with a whodunit to savor. To be sure, the third season will be remembered as one the show’s best, thanks to a plot that primarily revolves around the death of an actor starring in a theatrical show that Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) is producing.

Toss in several standout performances that swing from campy to tragic by the likes of recurring guest stars Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, Jesse Williams, and Matthew Broderick, and — we say this lovingly — you don’t want people to stop dying around Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver, and Mabel (Selena Gomez), the best yet most unlikely amateur crime solvers to hit the screen.

Fall TV is about to get pinched. The ongoing SAG and WGA strikes have, as intended, disrupted an industry in need of disruption. Some series are being delayed. Others have been pushed off the calendar entirely. Even with what we will see in the coming months, the AMPTP’s greed is forcing a workforce that loves a hot mic to keep quiet about the shows they make possible. While it’s nothing compared to the highway robbery Hollywood executives are trying to get away with when it comes to not paying talent, audiences are still about to lose out on something special.

All this is to say: Curse the studios for making the “Only Murders in the Building” Season 3 press tour impossible — aka killing a parade of interviews where everyone gets to share fresh, funny, and insightful stories about Meryl Fucking Streep.

Thankfully, what’s onscreen stands just fine on its own.

If you’ve heard me rant about this once, you’ve heard me rant about it a thousand times: Emmy categorizations are nonsense. Several of the year’s most nominated dramas — The White Lotus, Succession, Bad Sisters, among others — are, to me, absolutely satires with dramatic undertones. And several of the year’s most nominated comedies — Barry, The Bear, Ted Lasso, among others — are arguably closer to dramas, at least in their more recent seasons.

That’s the thing: Barry and Ted Lasso both decided, as they neared the end of their respective stories, that they were more driven by emotion than punchlines. The Bear didn’t exactly make a shift so much as Emmy voters found the show, with its 30-minute episode runtimes, easier to process as a comedy.

I don’t know that I would say that the third season of Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building is exactly a drama,...

There’s a new murder to solve in Only Murders in the Building season three — and Selena Gomez’s Mabel, Steve Martin‘s Charles and Martin Short’s Oliver are on the case.

In the final moments of season two, the gang reunited one year after they went their separate ways. Charles goes back to starring in a reboot of the series that made him a star, Brazzos; Mabel continues renovating her apartment with Alice (Cara Delevingne); and Oliver gets offered a director role in a Broadway play.

Charles stars in Oliver’s play alongside none other than Paul Rudd as series newcomer Ben Glenroy. Right before the curtain rises, Ben and Charles are seen bickering and Charles utters, “I know what you did.” As soon as Ben steps onto the stage and recites his first line, he collapses and dies.

Rudd isn’t the only new castmember welcomed into...

One of the defining workplace comedies of the 2000s, 2006's The Devil Wears Prada also featured an illustrious cast of notable names and future icons. Based on the Lauren Weisberger novel of the same name, the film follows a recent college graduate who gets her first dose of the high-stakes New York City fashion world when she works for a demanding editor. Noted for its brilliant use of character and whip-smart lampooning of the fashion world, The Devil Wears Prada struck a strong balance between insider humor and an accessible story. Though many of the cast members were already stars, The Devil Wears Prada launched them into the stratosphere.

Met with a burst of positive critical attention from the outset, it was clear that The Devil Wears Prada had broad appeal when it earned over $325 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo). What really held the film together was its cast,...

Warning: Contains Spoilers for Boston StranglerIn Hulu's Boston Strangler, the Boston Police Department fails to catch the titular killer, and the same is true in real life. The film focuses on Loretta McLaughlin, the reporter who first connected the dots between the first three Boston Strangler killings. Along with Jean Cole, McLaughlin wrote articles about the series of murders, much to the Boston Pd's chagrin.

The officers of the Boston Pd look down on McLaughlin because she's a woman and see her as more of a nuisance than an asset. While Detective Conley (Alessandro Nivola from Kraven the Hunter) does exchange information with her, he eventually leaves the force and doesn't seem to care about the murders as much as McLaughlin. Ultimately, Boston Strangler portrays the Boston Pd as incompetent at best and actively uncaring at worst. However, the reason why they ultimately failed to apprehend the real Boston Strangler is more nuanced.

Growing up in Boston, writer and director Matt Ruskin heard about the Boston Strangler most of his life. But it wasn’t until a few years ago while researching the complex case that he was inspired to write his latest film, Boston Strangler, from a different point of view.

Matt Ruskin

“When I started reading about the case, I realized I didn’t know anything about it. And I discovered this really layered, fascinating murder mystery. There was a much bigger story both about the city and the time with a lot of twists and turns that I found to be so compelling that I thought would make for a really great film,” Ruskin told Deadline during a recent interview. “I just could never really get excited about doing a hard-boiled detective version of this story. There are a lot of aspects to it that are critical of the police...

“Boston Strangler” director Matt Ruskin found his film angle into the true story through his own investigation on social media. After delving deep into the layers of the serial killer’s story and identity, Ruskin came across an interview done by Loretta. A social media search based on journalist Jean Cole helped him realize that he was closer to the story than he thought.

Ruskin’s film follows journalist Loretta McLaughlin (Knightley), an aspiring investigative writer constantly keeping a pulse on gruesome patterns and trends. McLaughlin notices the similarities in the deaths of three women and wors hard for long hours on the side of her desk position covering lifestyle to confirm the details and write a strong article. Her editor in chief doesn’t immediately buy into her pitch, but she keeps after the story and eventually gets permission to work on it alongside Jean Cole (Carrie Coon).

Horror’s resident St. Patrick’s Day icon built a reputation on schlock. Rhyming puns, a hokey sense of humor that includes an obsession with shoes and gold, and a serious case of wanderlust – the pint-sized killer has traveled from Hollywood, Vegas, space, and the hood, after all.

Surprisingly, though, the Leprechaun ranks pretty high on the list in terms of horror icons with the most kills. He’s managed to surpass fellow figures Chucky and Freddy Krueger as he has now murdered his way through eight films. Freddy and pals have the edge when it comes to creative deaths; a lot of little Lep’s slaying happens off-screen or via quick cutaways.

That’s not to say there aren’t some gory gems throughout the franchise, though.

In keeping with the spirit of revelry for St. Patrick’s Day, we’re celebrating the best kills of the Leprechaun series.

The Boston Strangler ending may leave more questions than answers about the true story that inspired the film. The new true crime movie follows the two "girl reporters" who broke the story of someone murdering mostly single elderly women living alone in Boston in the early 1960s. The case becomes more complex as more women are killed, including some that break the killer's original modus operandi. Boston Strangler ultimately theorizes that there were multiple killers behind the crimes.

The true crime story of the Boston Strangler movie focuses on Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightly), as well as Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), the two women covering the story for the Boston Record American newspaper. Their work seems to be done after Albert DeSalvo confesses to the crimes, but not every detail adds up. Just after DeSalvo agrees to meet with Loretta, he's killed in prison.

The story of the infamous serial-killer case nicknamed the Boston Strangler involved 13 sexual assaults and murders in the Boston area between 1962 and 1964. Officially, 12 of them have never been solved. The 13th, decades later, was proven through DNA techniques to be the chief suspect, and self-confessed “Boston Strangler” Albert DeSalvo. He was famously represented by F. Lee Bailey, who later would write a book about the case.
