While Stevenson acted in many successful television series and movies alike such as the upcomingStar WarsshowAhsoka,Dexter,The Punisher: War Zone,RRR,and theThorfranchise, it was inRomethat he really got his chance to shine with a complex role, a compelling story, castmates who were just as competent as he was, and enough time to develop it. Just factors rarely come together, especially nowadays, and this whole conjunction, as well as Stevenson’s undeniable talent, made the character of Titus Pullo simply unforgettable for the audience....

The Secret Life of Pets 2has made a number of interesting changes since the first film’s debut back in 2016. Notably,Patton Oswalthas replaced the problematicLouis C.K.as the voice of the lead pup Max; the rest of the cast remains intact with some new A+ additions likeTiffany HaddishandHarrison Ford.

The Affairis not an easy show to watch, nor has it ever wanted to be. It started with the dissolution of two marriages in the pursuit of what seemed like true love, but there’s never a happily ever after — the series dives deep into the psyches of four wounded individuals, who continue to wound each other whether they ultimately mean to or not. It’s messy yet engrossing and even sexy, as the four work through their anger, grief, and passion....

Kirsten Dunsthas been a fixture in our pop culture landscape for so long now that she’s been taken for granted, especially when you consider how long it took herto get nominated for an Oscar. It’s not for nothing that all the press surrounding her current career has framed it as a momentous comeback, highlighting the constant challenges in perception she’s undergone throughout her life.Graduating from a promising child acting career intact is no small feat, let alone proving herself to have so many different arrows in her quiver while firing them with ease....

The most powerful tool at an actor’s disposal is their face, so there’s something to be said about delivering a memorable performance while wearing a mask or with their face otherwise obscured. Even if the mask is totally bitchin’, there’s a serious risk of making a character dull (literally any version of Cyclops) or flat-out ridiculous (the eternal lesson ofWillem Dafoe’s Green Goblin). It’s hard to imagineTom Hankshaving the same impact as Forrest Gump had be been forced to do the entire film with a jack o’ lantern on his head, although I’d like to believe he would’ve won an additional Oscar for the effort....

“Evil is greed without boundaries,”The MagiciansshowrunnerJohn McNamarasays, but the Monster of Season 4 is “greed without awareness.” In the Season 3 finale of the Syfy series, Quentin and the gang successfully restored magic, but it came with unforeseen consequences. The Order of the Librarians, per some shady deal with Dean Fogg, wiped the group’s memories by glamouring them into leading mortal lives without any knowledge of their magic or past. Now the Library, taking credit for the efforts of the Brakebills gang, controls the flow of magic and relegates it as they see fit....

With Amazon’sThe Man in the High Castlereturning with new episodes this weekend, I sat down withAlexa Davalos,Rupert EvansandStephen Root(who is playing the title character) to talk about season 2.
