Getting Away

Diane broke down into an emotional wreck as she was driving throughout Los Angeles. She took herself to the airport and bought a ticket to Vietnam, in order to escape from the emotion of her divorce for a little while. Diane arrived in Vietnam and received a phone call from her boss, who demanded a new article from Diane.  Diane decided to write about her trip to Vietnam. She then went to her hotel room and learned that a movie was being shot in the lobby.

The next day, Diane received a call from Mr. Peanutbutter, he told her about the party he just had and Diane told him about her trip. Mr. Peanutbutter agreed to pick her up from the airport when she returned to Los Angeles. Later, Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter went out for a dinner as friends. Mr. Peanutbutter managed to begin flirting with their waitress almost immediately and he detailed his loneliness at home without Diane. Mr. Peanutbutter agreed to have a party as long as Diane came.

Moving In

BoJack helped Diane move into her new apartment. He told her that she could visit his house anytime she wanted. The two of them began to talk about the things that they didn’t like about Mr. Peanutbutter. Diane invited BoJack to Peanutbutter’s party. Diane’s boss shut down their office for a month to exterminate an insect infestation. Diane left her apartment and went to stay with BoJack for the day. After a drinking binge, Diane pointed out that her and BoJack could date now that both of them were single. BoJack offered Diane a permanent spot in his guest room, but Diane refused and passed out on his couch.

The next morning, Diane visited with her therapist. Her therapist told her to get away from Los Angeles for a while. Back in Vietnam, Diane met a handsome eagle and the two went on a walk through the Vietnamese market. Diane was pretending to be a native Vietnamese for a while but the eagle quickly deduced the lie.

Maniac Season 1 Episode 8 Recap

Maniac Season 1 Episode 8 Recap

Maniac season 1 episode 8 opens with Annie trying to explain to Ellia that none of this is real, that it is all a computer simulation inside Annie’s mind, as Annie discovered in the previous episode. Ellia believes that Annia is under a spell and that the lake will be able to cure Annia as well. Meanwhile, Owen begins to make peace with Olivia, coming to understand that all of his problems in life are his own fault. Owen states that he just wants to start a new life away from the conditions and limitations placed upon him by his family.

“Our Brains Are Just Computers That Make Our Life Stories Make Sense”

As much as Owen is starting to understand his role in his own life and what it is that he wants, the walls are closing in on him. His father, thinking that Owen’s brother Rick was a snitch, kills Rick with the drill. Owen realizes that his father doesn’t have some gift for knowing what’s going on, that’s just his bluff to cover his own inadequacies. Going to the police, Owen finds the agents in the dark, with them thinking that maybe another agency has someone on the inside besides just them using Owen. Owen convinces the agents to pull him out and make their bust now, when Jed kills both of the agents. Jed reveals himself to be Owen’s brother, the son that their father gave up for adoption in order to get family planted inside the NYPD. Jed is in turn killed by the family’s consigliere, Frank, who is an undercover FBI agent.

Frank convinces Owen to testify against his father, offering to place him in witness protection. Owen stops and asks Olivia to come with him and start a new life. The pair marry and are stuck raising 7 kids in Owen’s tiny apartment. Knowing this isn’t where he is supposed to be, Owen jumps from the window, landing in a diorama of New York City and hearing Annie’s voice saying that Owen promised to protect her. Owen transforms into a hawk and flies off to find Annie.

“What’s a McMurphy?”

Greta confronts GRTA, who is having hysterical mood swings. One minute she’s sad, the next laughing; one minute she wants to cure them all, the next she wants to do as much damage as possible. When Greta tries to talk GRTA through her emotions, GRTA says that this is all Greta’s fault, that the computer’s hysterics mirror Greta’s own emotional issues. Screaming, Greta awakens to her troubled son.

“The Entire World’s Mad But You’re Not?”

Slowly, Ellie awakens to Annie’s reality, swapping places so that Ellie becomes the guide leading Annie to the healing lake. Ellie brings Annie to the bluff where Ellie died in the car crash, telling Annie to look and to let go. Annie says she doesn’t want to let go, she wants to stay with her sister. As if on cue, Queen Gertrude arrives and tells Annie that she doesn’t have to leave, but she can stay locked inside of GRTA forever. Owen the hawk tries to save Annie from GRTA, but is blasted out of the sky. Annie agrees to stay, but Ellie is left behind. Annie is trapped within the endless scenarios that GRTA creates, giving the computer the companion that she wants.

BoJack Horseman Season 5 Episode 1 Recap

BoJack Horseman Season 5 Episode 1 Recap

BoJack Horseman, Netflix’s highly acclaimed animated series has returned for a fifth season. Last season saw BoJack gain a new understanding of his mother and meet his sister Hollyhock, Mr. Peanutbutter run for governor and Todd become more comfortable with his asexuality. What does the first installment of the fifth season have in store? Let’s find out, as we recap season 5 episode 1 ‘The Light Bulb Scene!’

Trimming What’s Excessive

BoJack was on the set of his newest show ‘Philbert’, when he questioned Princess Carolyn about his agreement to do the show. Carolyn reminded him that he was contractually obligated to do it. BoJack asked his co-star, Gina, about the quality of writing on the show. Gina told BoJack to just go along with it, if he wanted to continue getting work. Princess Carolyn visited an adoption agency to see about her eligibility for adopting a child.

BoJack visited with his director, Flip, and asked some questions about his character. BoJack was worried about the excessive amount of nudity and Flip cut out some of it as a result.  At dinner, Todd and Yolanda, explained the difference between being asexual and aromantic to Steve. BoJack and Flip got into an argument over Gina’s comfort in being nude, Princess Carolyn mediated a solution. Flip agreed to give BoJack a nude scene in order to make everything equal.

Equality

Yolanda expressed her displeasure over Todd’s lack of ambition. Todd returned to Princess Carolyn’s home and was confronted by BoJack. Todd, with the assistance of BoJack, applied for a job at whattimeisrightnow.com. He was hired as the new president of streaming content for the website. The next day, Todd refused to help BoJack get out of his nude scene. BoJack visited Flip and asked for the nude scene to be removed, Flip refused to do so. BoJack agreed to do the nude scene, after being threatened by Flip.

Princess Carolyn was informed by her adoption agent that it was unlikely she would ever find a baby to adopt. She then received a phone call from Flip, he told her that BoJack had not shown up for work that day. Just then, BoJack arrived at the adoption agency and asked for help from Princess Carolyn.

Subtlety

BoJack begged Princess Carolyn to get him out of doing the show with Flip. Carolyn convinced him to give acting a great attempt. BoJack returned to set and did the nude scene without complaint. Meanwhile, Diane returned to Los Angeles and was picked up at the airport by Mr. Peanutbutter. Mr. Peanutbutter dropped Diane off at her new apartment and handed over the signed divorce papers. BoJack celebrated his scene by having a party at his house and invited all of the cast and crew. Flip apologized to BoJack for being overly aggressive with the nude scene.

Maniac Season 1 Episode 7 Recap

Maniac Season 1 Episode 7 Recap

Maniac season 1 episode 7 delivers the experiences of the C phase of the drug trial that the participants in the study began in the previous episode. Owen finds himself the #2 to his gangster father. Owen’s father tells him to take the rap for killing a bookie and to plead insanity before the judge. Annie finds herself as Annia, a half-elf ranger guiding the elf Ellia to the Lake of the Clouds in order to cure Ellia and save her life.

“Fathers Do Not Forgive”

Owen is wearing a wire for the NYPD, who are looking to take down Owen’s father. He reluctantly goes along with the sting, but Owen is scared to death that his father is going to find out. Owen’s father has a penchant for taking a drill to the heads of those he is interrogating, torturing, and killing. After witnessing and participating in the brutality, Owen doesn’t want that to happen to him.

“Did I Find You or Were You Supposed to Find Me?”

Annia is a drunkard who was approached by a lost and sickly Ellia in a tavern, looking for a guide to escort her to the Lake of the Clouds. Ellia was cursed to die by her mother, and only the mythical, magical waters of the lake can heal her. Annia agrees to the deal, only to change the terms by increasing her fee later once the pair are on their way. What Ellia doesn’t know is that Annia is being pursued by assassins sent by the Queen Gertrude. A talking dragonfly suggests to Annia that the assassins are actually manifestations of her own inner demons, as the assassin that Annia killed looks just like Annia herself.

The two are captured by soldiers and presented to Lady Nora, who knows all about Annia. She asks Annia to look into a magic mirror and tell Lady Nora and Ellia what she sees. In the mirror, Annia sees a younger version of Annie and Ellie getting dressed up because they heard that their mother was coming home, though she never did return. With that prompt, Annia realizes that she is Annie and Ellia is her sister Ellie and that they are in the fantasy together, which is Annie’s least favorite genre. Ellia still believes herself to be the elven princess and doesn’t understand what Annie is talking about. Together, the two head for the lake, a two day walk to the north, to heal Ellia and save her life.

“This is the Quietest I’ve Ever Seen Her”

James is paranoid that his mother is using her connection with GRTA to somehow turn the trial participants against him. Fujita tells James that GRTA’s systems all read normal, and that whatever Greta is doing appears to be working by having a calming effect on the supercomputer. James apologizes to Fukita for his role in the ending of their romantic relationship years earlier when we has kicked from the program.

Fox delays release dates for Alita, Dark Phoenix & Gambit

Fox has announced a handful of release date changes, which includes X-Men: Dark Phoenix, Gambit, and Alita: Battle Angel being pushed back by a PG-13 version of Deadpool 2, Deadline has confirmed.

Instead of releasing on December 21, 2018, Alita: Battle Angel has been pushed back to February 14, 2019. In its place, Fox will release the PG-13 Deadpool 2, which will go up against Warner Bros.’ Aquaman, Paramount’s Bumblebee, Sony’s Holmes and Watson, and Universal’s Welcome to Marwen.

Visionary filmmakers James Cameron (Avatar) and Robert Rodriguez (Sin City) create a groundbreaking new heroine in Alita: Battle Angel, an action-packed story of hope, love and empowerment. Set several centuries in the future, the abandoned Alita (Rosa Salazar) is found in the scrapyard of Iron City by Ido (Christoph Waltz), a compassionate cyber-doctor who takes the unconscious cyborg Alita to his clinic. When Alita awakens she has no memory of who she is, nor does she have any recognition of the world she finds herself in.

X-Men: Dark Phoenix is now scheduled to premiere on June 7, 2019, instead of February 14, 2019. Illumination/Universal Pictures’ The Secret Life of Pets 2 and Lionsgate’s Flarsky comedy feature are also debuting on that date.

In Dark Phoenix, the X-Men face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite — not only to save Jean’s soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

Channing Tatum’s Gambit movie was originally scheduled to release on June 7, 2019, but has now been pushed back to March 13, 2020. The project is in development and no director has yet been attached. The screenplay is being written by Reid Carolin and Joshua Zetumer.

Tatum will play the X-Men character Gambit. Created by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee in 1990, the New Orleans native mutant quickly became a fan favorite due to his kinetic energy manipulation abilities and penchant for stealing. The character’s only big screen appearance to date (outside his name being featured as an Easter egg in X2) was in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played by Taylor Kitsch.

The only Star Wars movie currently in production is Star Wars: Episode IX, which began filming last month. The outlet notes that Episode IX will be the last of the “chapter” installments planned by Disney. Lucasfilm plans on expanding the Star Wars universe with new characters in the television medium. Projects include a live-action series by Jon Favreau and the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, which will both air on Disney’s untitled streaming service in 2019. Star Wars Resistance, another animated series, will premiere next month on The Disney Channel.

Besides the Star Wars franchise, Lucasfilm is also focused on developing movies from David Benioff and D.B Weiss (Game of Thrones) and a new trilogy from Rian Johnson (Star Wars: The Last Jedi).

Abrams co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Terrio (Argo, Justice League). Composer John Williams, who has scored every chapter in the Star Wars saga since 1977’s A New Hope, will return to a galaxy far, far away with Episode IX.

Returning cast members include Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, and Billie Lourd.

Jennifer Beals joins cast of DC Universe’s Swamp Thing

Following the casting of Derek Mears in the titular role, DC Universe’s upcoming adaptation of Swamp Thing has continued expanding its cast with the addition of Jennifer Beals, according to Variety. Beals, who’s most-known for her role in the 1983 cult classic Flashdance, was most recently seen in the NBC adaptation of Taken and the 2017 teen drama Before I Fall.

In the series she’ll take on the role of Sheriff Lucilia Cable, described as “Tough as nails and pragmatic, Cable’s fierce devotion to her son, Matt, is rivaled only by her sworn duty to serve and protect the town of Marais. As the community she has dedicated her life to defending is beset by strange forces, she must double down in her efforts to safeguard everyone she holds dear.”

The live-action DC Universe adaptation of the classic antihero originally created by Len Wein and Bernie Wrightson will be executive produced by Len Wiseman (Sleepy Hollow) who will also direct the pilot. Mark Verheiden (Battlestar Galactica, Netflix’s Daredevil) and Gary Dauberman (It) are attached to co-write the series and act as showrunners, with James Wan (Aquaman) set to executive-produce the series alongside Verheiden, Dauberman, and Michael Clear.

Swamp Thing made his comic book debut back in 1971 and has maintained his position as a staple of the DCU since then, including seminal runs written by Alan Moore, Brian K. Vaughan, Mark Millar, and Scott Snyder. The character was previously adapted into a feature film from Wes Craven in 1982, which spawned a sequel seven years later, and a USA Network series that ran for three seasons in the early ’90s. Dick Durock took on the role in both the films and the series. An animated Swamp Thing series also debuted in the early ’90s but only aired five episodes.

Should Swamp Thing be picked up to series, it would join Titans in the live-action sector of DC Universe and other original series (albeit animated) Young Justice: Outsiders and Harley Quinn.

Swamp Thing comes from James Wan’s Atomic Monster in association with Warner Bros. Television. The pilot is set to premiere in 2019 on the DC Universe digital subscription service.

Jonathan Krisel to direct Sesame Street movie

Portlandia director and co-creator Jonathan Krisel (Baskets, Kroll Show) will be directing Warner Bros. Pictures’ live-action Sesame Street musical, Variety has confirmed.

Sesame Street, an educational series that premiered in 1969 on PBS and was created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morriset, features a combination of live-action and puppetry, as well as animation. It is best known as the home of Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Grover, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Elmo, all created by Jim Henson.

The Sesame Street movie is being produced by Oscar nominee Shawn Levy (Arrival) alongside Michael Aguilar (Kidding). Krisel will be directing from a script penned by David Guion (Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb) and Michael Handelman (Dinner for Schmucks). Sesame Workshop holds the right to the series and will be involved with project development.

Levy has been working on the movie since 2012 when 20th Century Fox previously held the rights to the big screen project. In 2015, Sesame Workshop signed a five-season deal with HBO and Warner Bros. began working on a film companion to the series.

Sesame Street has come to the big screen twice before: in 1985 with Sesame Street Presents Follow That Bird and in 1999 with Elmo in Grouchland. The latest Sesame Street movie serves as Krisel’s first major studio movie after spending several years on the Emmy Award-winning series Portlandia.
