Donald Glover revealed to himself in a meta Q&A for Interview Magazine that he is done with “Atlanta” being compared to Lil Dicky’s “Dave.” “I like that show, but it does bother me when ‘Atlanta’ is compared to it,” Glover said. Season 3 of “Atlanta” premiered at the 2022 SXSW festival before debuting on FX March 24. Meanwhile, “Dave” Season 2 aired on FX in June 2021. “You have to think of it like food,” Glover continued, not necessarily about flavor, “although I do feel like the flavor is artificial in some sense....

Hulu also announced the release date during the show’s TCA panel, setting the premiere for October 13. Per Hulu, here’s the official synopsis: “Dopesick” examines how one company triggered the worst drug epidemic in American history. The series takes viewers to the epicenter of America’s struggle with opioid addiction, from the boardrooms of Big Pharma, to a distressed Virginia mining community, to the hallways of the DEA.

“I laughed and I laughed hard. I think everyone had a laugh at that. And I’ll leave it at that. And that I’ve wished them well. I wish them well on ‘Fast 9.’ And I wish them the best of luck on ‘Fast 10’ and ‘Fast 11’ and the rest of the ‘Fast & Furious’ movies they do that will be without me,” Johnson said. Johnson was interviewed by THR to promote his upcoming movie “Jungle Cruise....

A specter is haunting “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier” and based on “The Whole World Is Watching” there’s no exorcising it. The ghost of Steve Rogers’ Captain America was inescapable during the fourth episode, which saw a new entrant (however unlikely) in the Captain America sweepstakes and witnessed the probable destruction of the current shield-bearer. Given that the Disney+ series is the MCU’s first Captain America story since Steve’s exit — building off his legacy while ushering in his successor(s) — it might be best to assess the critical events of this week’s episode through the various components that made up our original Star-Spangled Man with a Plan: the man he always was, the serum that amplified his attributes, and what he stood for while carrying his shield....

IndieWire recently caught up with composer Jeff Russo and co-supervising sound editors, Nick Forshager and Tim Boggs — all of whom received Emmy nominations (along with Gonzales) for their work on “East/West” — to discuss how they found a balance in making this unique episode, which was inspired by the Coen Brothers “Barton Fink” as well as the oft-referenced 1939 classic “The Wizard of Oz.” Jeff Russo and series creator Noah Hawley have been working together since the 2009 ABC series, “The Unusuals,” and developed a specific way of collaborating where the composer’s music plays a role in shaping the series....

A sneak peek at “The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special” confirms Bacon’s first foray into Marvel, with the “Footloose” icon playing…himself. Turns out Star-Lord’s (Chris Pratt) fandom for Bacon inspired the perfect Christmas present for the lovelorn Star-Lord to get over Gamora (Zoe Saldana). Drax (Dave Bautista) and Mantis (Pom Klementieff) travel to Hollywood to bring the “legendary Kevin Bacon” into outer space. When Star-Lord may have been the fish out of water in the celestial space, these extraterrestrials stick out in L....

The $900 million price tag for Witherspoon’s company sounds insane by Hollywood standards, and it is: That valuation comes from the tech industry, not from studio comps. More importantly, as box-office and Nielsen impact declines as a metric of clout, the Blackstone-backed deal shows there’s room for major TV and movie producers to cash in on the chaos of the moment. In the future Hollywood, streamers won’t hold every iota of power....
