By Jacob Hall/Aug. 9, 2016 7:00 am EST Transparent season three will drop on September 21, 2016. We’ve seen the premise of Goliath before: the washed-up lawyer who was brilliant back in the day finds himself yanked out of an alcoholic stupor for a major case that will test his loyalties and push his skills to the limit. But insert actors like Billy Bob Thornton, Maria Bello, and William Hurt into that premise and you certainly have my attention....

By Jacob Hall/Dec. 23, 2015 10:30 am EST I know: you’re still high on Star Wars and you will probably continue to be high on it until Star Wars: The Force Awakens slowly trudges out of theaters in a few months. But can we all pause for about 10 minutes and shift gears to Star Trek? Okay, five minutes. Deal. Let’s do this. 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of the greatest (well, most consistent) science fiction series of all time and everyone involved is pulling out all the stops....

Watch Adam McKay Break Down A Scene From ‘The Big Short’ By Jack Giroux/Dec. 23, 2015 3:30 pm EST Over a month ago I suggested a world in which Adam McKay got nominated for an Academy Award. I would argue a nomination is long overdue for the co-writer/director of Step Brothers and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, but McKay won’t have to wait much longer. After seeing The Big Short, it’s a sure thing McKay and co-writer Charles Randolph will see some awards love for their dense, deeply funny and frightening adaptation of Michael Lewis’ book....

‘Storks’ Trailer: Andy Samberg Will Teach You Where Babies Come From By Angie Han/March 14, 2016 8:30 am EST The logical question raised by this concept is who does deliver human babies in the Storks universe, now that the birds are no longer handling that task. Have humans had to resort to pushing them out of their bodies (you know, the way humans do in our real world)? Or has some other animal taken over delivering duties?...

A ‘Wicked’ Movie Will Try Defying Gravity In 2019 By Jacob Hall/June 16, 2016 12:00 pm EST There has been talk of bringing the beloved Broadway musical Wicked to the big screen for years now.
