Snowfall Season 2 Details:
In season two, Snowfall continues its riveting story about the infancy of the crack cocaine epidemic and its ultimate radical impact on the culture as we know it. Season two follows our ensemble of characters as they intersect and overlap within the mosaic of Los Angeles as we enter 1984, all of them working toward their ultimate goals of money, power and influence, including: Franklin Saint (Damson Idris), a young street entrepreneur beginning to experience the perils of success; Teddy McDonald (Carter Hudson), a CIA operative who finds that his off-book drug-funded operation may be vulnerable from unexpected sources, both personal and professional; and Gustavo “El Oso” Zapata (Sergio Peris-Mencheta) and Lucia Villanueva (Emily Rios), the drug running couple who discover the potency of crack and try to exploit it despite the new dangers involved.
Season two of Snowfall concludes with the tenth and final episode of the second season: “Education.” Franklin faces the consequences of his actions. Teddy pulls out all the stops to assist his partners. Lucia must sacrifice to save Gustavo’s life. The episode was written by Dave Andron and directed by John Singleton.
Universal Pictures and Illumination have released a new trailer, poster, and photos from the upcoming animated holiday film, The Grinch. Oscar nominee Benedict Cumberbatch (The Imitation Game) takes on the role of the grumpy green creature who hates Christmas.
Scott Mosier and Yarrow Cheney directed from a script by Michael LeSieur and Tommy Swerdlow. Tyler, The Creator, contributes to the film’s soundtrack.
The Grinch will open in theaters on November 9, 2018.
The Grinch Plot:
The Grinch tells the story of a cynical grump who goes on a mission to steal Christmas, only to have his heart changed by a young girl’s generous holiday spirit. Funny, heartwarming and visually stunning, it’s a universal story about the spirit of Christmas and the indomitable power of optimism.
Academy Award nominee Benedict Cumberbatch lends his voice to the infamous Grinch, who lives a solitary life inside a cave on Mt. Crumpet with only his loyal dog, Max, for company. With a cave rigged with inventions and contraptions for his day-to-day needs, the Grinch only sees his neighbors in Who-ville when he runs out of food.
Each year at Christmas they disrupt his tranquil solitude with their increasingly bigger, brighter and louder celebrations. When the Whos declare they are going to make Christmas three times bigger this year, the Grinch realizes there is only one way for him to gain some peace and quiet: he must steal Christmas. To do so, he decides he will pose as Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, even going so far as to trap a lackadaisical misfit reindeer to pull his sleigh.
Meanwhile, down in Who-ville, Cindy-Lou Who—a young girl overflowing with holiday cheer—plots with her gang of friends to trap Santa Claus as he makes his Christmas Eve rounds so that she can thank him for help for her overworked single mother. As Christmas approaches, however, her good-natured scheme threatens to collide with the Grinch’s more nefarious one. Will Cindy-Lou achieve her goal of finally meeting Santa Claus? Will the Grinch succeed in silencing the Whos’ holiday cheer once and for all?

Amazon Studios just released a second full trailer for the dramatic film, Beautiful Boy. The film stars Oscar nominee Steve Carell (Foxcatcher) and Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) and is based on the bestselling pair of memoirs by father and son David and Nic Sheff.
In the new two-minute trailer, Steve Carell as David Scheff tells his son, played by Chalamet, “If you could take all the words in the language it still wouldn’t describe how much I love you. I love you more than everything.”
Beautiful Boy‘s cast also includes Maura Tierney (The Affair) and Oscar nominee Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone). Felix van Groeningen (The Broken Circle Breakdown) directed from a screenplay he co-wrote with Luke Davies.
Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Brad Pitt produced, with Nan Morales executive producing. The behind the scenes team includes director of photography Ruben Impens, editor Nico Leunen, production designer Ethan Tobman, and costume designer Emma Potter.
The film currently sits at 74% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Among supporters of the film is Los Angeles Times’ Justin Chang who praises the drama, saying, “The detachment at work in Beautiful Boy suggests an attempt to speak clearly and truthfully, to resist the clichés of the addiction drama while acknowledging that those clichés can hardly be rewritten.”
Amazon Studios will be releasing the film theatrically on October 12, 2018. The MPAA’s given Beautiful Boy an R rating for drug content throughout, language, and brief sexual material.
The Beautiful Boy Plot:
Based on the best-selling pair of memoirs by David Sheff (author of Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction) and Nic Sheff (author of Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines), Beautiful Boy chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse, and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years.

There is so much going on in Riverdale that the Archie gang are only half the story. So Riverdale had a Television Critics Association panel with just the parents to talk about their end of the drama on the Archie Comics’ adaptation.
Season three will pick up with Hermione Lodge (Marisol Nichols) as mayor, Hal Cooper (Lochlyn Munro) in jail and more secret business for Hiram (Mark Consuelos) and Penelope Blossom (Nathalie Bolt). Here are eight things we learned from the Riverdale parents panel. Riverdale returns Wednesday, October 10, 2018 on The CW.
1. Fred (Luke Perry) will find out Archie (KJ Apa) worked for the mob.
“Well, clearly your proudest day as a parent,” Perry joked. “Your son is a made man. No. It’s definitely not my normal neck of the woods, so when I get that information, it will be interesting.”
2. Alice (Madchen Amick) is now free to date FP (Skeet Ulrich).
QUESTION: For any cast who want to answer and the producer. A couple questions. First, with Hal out of the picture, are Alice and FP free to explore their relationship?
“Her black hood is out of the way, so there might be exploring a few old habits,” Amick said.
Producer Sarah Schechter added, “I personally have been rooting for FP and Alice since the second Skeet walked onto the set. I think it feels sort of inevitable, like some sort of celestial event.”
3. Penelope Blossom’s business is booming.
“And only getting bigger,” Bolt said. “So, it started off as an entrepreneurship of providing company and companionship to the lonely men of Riverdale. And I feel like it’s time to expand.”
4. Sheriff Keller and Former Mayor McCoy will hook up.
“One thing we haven’t had on Riverdale yet, despite all the twists and turns, is we haven’t really had a wedding episode,” creator Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said. “But one might be in the offing that involves a certain ex-mayor and a certain ex-sheriff.”
5. Hal is not out of the picture quite yet.
“I have about five hours before they realize that I pulled the covers over my pillow,” Munro joked. “I can honestly tell you when I read [episode] 21, I was a little devastated. Thank God for Roberto being there because he calmed me down, because I absolutely adore working with these people, and I thought that I was done on the show. And when Roberto talked to me, he never gives anything away. He always just says, ‘It’s not over. We’ve got some ideas.’
I now have embraced this character. I think it just adds so many layers for Hal, and there’s so many great things for me to explore as far as whatever my backstory is. How I was able to fool Alice for those many years, I mean, this is like really interesting for me. So, I’m really looking forward to coming back on and really exploring where I can go with Hal. So honestly, I’m just very fortunate to be part of this group.”
Schecter added, “Just because he’s a serial killer, he doesn’t stop being Betty’s dad.”
6. There may be an all parents episode.
“We would love to do a bizarre episode where we follow mostly the parents and the kids are just sort of on the fringes,” Aguirre-Sacasa said. “It would be great. That’s one of the nice things about having a nice long season is you can do special episodes like that, and I think in season 3 we’re in a place where we can do that, and I think it would be a blast.”
7. There will be a flashback starring the teens as their parents.
“I think I can say that it’s Episode 4, and it’s an episode called ‘The Midnight Club,’ which is our take on sort of The Breakfast Club, obviously the Riverdale much darker version of that,” Aguirre-Sacasa said. “Cammy [Mendes] will be playing a young Hermione. Cole [Sprouse] will be playing a young FP. KJ will be dying his hair brown and playing a young Fred Andrews. We are going to learn about a really, really dark secret in Riverdale that the parents have been keeping since they were in high school.”
Perry added “It’s going to be great to see because KJ is so good at imitating people, not just me, but everybody. I’m really looking forward to seeing him do me in that. Yeah, it will be fun.”
Amick said, “Lili [Reinhart] has been studying Shelly in Twin Peaks.”
8. Mayor Hermione’s platform revealed.
“The thing that I love about Hermione the most is because she’s such a dichotomy,” Nichols said. “I think she fully commits to either side that she’s doing. So I think, as mayor, she’s going to fully commit to using that power to sort of stand up to her second, better half over there and see how she can do that delicately without putting herself in danger. I also think, at the end of the day, she still loves this town. I mean, we were fortunate enough to meet her in season 1 sort of in the middle of her story while he was gone, and she got this opportunity to start over and be the kind of person that she always wanted to be. I still think she’s in there as well, and I think we’ll see both sides.”

2018 is a big year for Sarayu Blue. She had a major role as John Cena’s wife in Blockers, and now she’s the star of a new NBC comedy produced by Amy Poehler. In I Feel Bad, Blue plays Emet, a working mom dealing with her family and an office full of video game dudes.
NBC presented I Feel Bad to the Television Critics Association this summer. Blue stayed after the panel to speak with reporters more about her role. You can catch a sneak preview of I Feel Bad tonight at 10pm ET/PT before it takes its regular timeslot Thursdays at 9:30pm ET/PT starting October 4, 2018.
Do you expect this fall to be a big deal for you? You’ve been in a lot, but a comedy on NBC…
Sarayu Blue: “This is huge. It’s pretty big. I’m so excited. It’s like unbelievable. I keep saying it’s a dream come true because it is. This is the kind of role that I feel like I can really sink into and relate to and play with and just get to have a lot of fun.”
Growing up, were there sitcoms you watched and imagined “I’m going to be on one of those one day?”
Sarayu Blue: “I think I hoped, but it didn’t really feel like I saw anything that looked like this. That was certainly the dream. The fact that it came true is unbelievable. This was the goal. I just can’t believe it happened.”
What funny stuff is coming up after the pilot?
Sarayu Blue: “A lot of really great physical comedy, some really fun stuff with Paul [Adelstein] and I managing the balance of being parents and kids and surviving. It’s really about survival I think. You’ll see a lot of survival mode.”
They cast I Feel Bad without any specific ethnicity. Have you been sent specifically ethnic roles before?
Sarayu Blue: “For sure. I think that’s very much, when I first started out, it was very specific. Then it started branching out to things like any ethnicity. But yeah, this is a very new territory, to be able to read for a lead role.”
Did you have your agents say, “Look, she can play a mom. It doesn’t have to be any ethnicity.”
Sarayu Blue: “Yeah, I mean, you can press all you want. Whether the role actually opens up in that direction… Getting the auditions, I think I’ve had reps who have always fought for me and tried, and I’ve gotten to have a career that’s really not super stereotypical. I mean, I have played a lot of roles that were open in a lot of ways. At the end of the day, whether they got me in the rooms or not, it was about people’s minds opening.”
Did you see yourself as a Mary Tyler Moore type growing up?
Sarayu Blue: “Yeah. I’ve always wanted to do, I would see these rom-com type roles and the physical comedy and the quirky disaster girl and I thought, ‘I can do that. That’s what I want.’ But you very rarely see women of color in those kinds of roles. You see it with a show like Insecure and it’s incredible to watch, but that’s actually pretty groundbreaking. For the longest time, we were in the sidekick roles or the doctor roles.”
Why did it take so long?
Sarayu Blue: “If I had known… Before we look at that, I think what’s happening right now is a very specific movement. There’s social media. There’s streaming. There’s more opportunity out there. There’s a lot of people like Ava [Duvernay] and Shonda Rhimes and all these people who are creating the opportunities. But until then, there was a traditional structure that was in place. People didn’t know how to break out of it.”
Is there too much pressure on you now?
Sarayu Blue: “Do you know, I feel really supported. I have an amazing team behind me. I have so many friends and fans who are excited. The people have come out because they’re excited to see this kind of representation and normalization. It’s really moving, so I don’t feel pressure. I feel honored.”
Are you trained or practiced in physical comedy?
Sarayu Blue: “I love physical comedy. I went to ACT, I got my masters there. I’m also a klutz so I think I am practiced.”
Are the scenes in I Feel Bad choreographed and rehearsed?
Sarayu Blue: “Oh, not really, no. They just let us go but it’s fun. Safely, of course.”

Does Emet have two families of kids she’s taking care of?
Sarayu Blue: “Yes. Yes. Yes. That’s a definite yes.”
Did you research the video game world?
Sarayu Blue: “My husband is a big video game guy, so I was brought into that world when I met him, when we started dating. He’s gone to all the comic-cons.”
Are you good at it?
Sarayu Blue: “I’m not great, but I don’t mind not being great. It’s fun just to be bad at things too.”
Well, she’s not a player. She just makes them.
Sarayu Blue: “No, she does the storyboard art. She’s the artist part of it.”
Did you notice the games your husband played had a lot of sexualized women?
Sarayu Blue: “Yeah, I mean, let’s look at Tomb Raider. That’s not healthy. That’s not healthy. It’s nice to see women who are strong and physical and capable. I’m a huge advocate for that.”
And as a mom, she’s a hero.
Sarayu Blue: “Yeah. She’s awesome. I mean, she’s a disaster and a badass and complex.”
Over the years, what have they always sent you in for?
Sarayu Blue: “I’ve done a lot of doctors. There’s also a lot of Indian wife type roles, but that’s about it.”
Did they warn you about this when you went to college?
Sarayu Blue: “No one had to talk to me. I knew. I was stubborn though. I was like, ‘I’m going to get it.’ My parents were nervous and all, but I was adamant. I fought hard.”

FX’s Mayans M.C. season one episode three kicks off with kids playing at the rebel camp while the adults take inventory of their supplies. Suddenly, Adelita (Carla Baratta) hears a vehicle approaching and screams for everyone to hide. The kids take cover and the adults take up strategic positions, armed with rifles. It’s a false alarm as the vehicle’s occupants are Angel (Clayton Cardenas), Coco (Richard Cabral), and EZ (JD Pardo).
However, Galindo’s men are in fact attempting to track the rebels. Fortunately, they’ve been given directions to a deserted camp. A pinata’s been left behind, stuffed with candy and one of Adelita’s flyers. The pinata also contains a colorful toy skull with the kidnapped baby’s name, Cristobal, written across the forehead.
At the real rebel camp, Angel delivers the news that they might have found a buyer out of Nevada who needs product. The Nevada buyer wants to purchase the nine kilos they stole from the Galindos but she only has six left. Adelita warns Angel that her group’s running out of places to hide.
The club meets with Miguel Galindo (Danny Pino), warning him Adelita’s video has buyers nervous. They want to make sure there will be product to put on the streets. A meeting’s set up with the buyers as Miguel learns his baby was not recovered and the rebels had vacated the camp. He’s also told another video has been released.
Galindo wants the MC to meet with the Chinese to confirm everything is fine.
The new video shows the burned bodies of the innocent street vendor and his young son. The bodies were meant to frighten the rebels and instead they’ve had the opposite effect. Adelita’s people are using the video to show the ruthlessness of the cartel and how it abuses innocent people. The video demands people take a stand and ends with Cristobal’s rattle on top of a flyer.
Cristobal’s mother, Emily (Sarah Bolger), watches the video and then smashes her phone in anger.
Over at the butcher shop, Felipe (Edward James Olmos) makes time to sit down with DEA Agent Kevin Jimenez (Maurice Compte). Jimenez is checking in on EZ since things are escalating between the cartel and the rebels, with the MC brought in to hunt for Cristobal. Felipe says EZ is fine and Jimenez gives him a new contact number. EZ can use it 24/7, and Jimenez warns he better use it soon.
Angel, Coco, and EZ make it back to the clubhouse in time to learn the meeting has been pushed up. While they have a minute alone, Angel warns EZ not to let his feelings about Emily and the baby affect him.
EZ has a flashback to the night of his arrest and to accidentally shooting a cop.
Miguel arrives home and learns from his mother that Emily watched the video. Emily knows Miguel lied to her and escalated the situation after promising to control himself for their son’s sake.
Galindo’s men bust in on a gang of young men who’ve been shaking down Hidalgo Square (the site of the burned bodies). They apologize, saying they had no idea the square was controlled by the cartel.
Coco and Angel learn Galindo invited the Chinese to a sit-down where the cartel will guarantee their product will still be available.
Meanwhile, the club hits the road for the meeting. It’s being held at the San Buho Tribal Casino and the guys have to turn over any weapons due to tribal law. They’ve got a few hours to kill and split up to have a little fun.
Angel meets on the sly with Jimmy, his contact on the side deal, and reveals he has six kilos of 97% pure heroin. Angel agrees to get it to Vegas, and both confirm it will remain an outside deal.
Back at the butcher shop, Felipe keeps his eyes on a van for a cable company that’s been surveilling the place for a few days.

Coco plays some blackjack and is on a winning streak. It turns out Coco is counting cards and Angel forces him away from the table before he’s busted.
EZ heads to the bar where he’s harassed by off-duty cops. One in particular gives him a hard time, but EZ walks away without retaliating.
Emily’s mother-in-law, Dita (Ada Maris), sends Diego out to get Emily a new phone. Emily, still livid and frustrated, decides she needs to go to Hidalgo Square to see the place for herself. When Emily asks what she would do in the same situation, Dita finally agrees to accompany her to the square.
Elsewhere, one of the young gang members is brought to stand before Miguel. Miguel takes a knife, cuts the teen’s hand, and then places the gang member’s blood on his own face. Miguel calls this a sacred vow that means they’re bonded.
After the teen’s taken away, Miguel admits he made the ceremony up. It’s part of a plan to use the young gang – and others from the area – as eyes on the street to watch for Adelita’s group.
Coco, EZ, and Angel finally head to the meeting with their prison hook-ups (supply managers who control 26 prisons). The Chinese are also in attendance to discuss their arrangement and the impact of the rebels. Bishop (Michael Irby) assures their partners the drugs will continue to flow and even suggests increasing the percentage of profits the prison group will receive to quiet anyone who might be ready to seek an arrangement elsewhere.
Bishop gives his word the shipments will never be interrupted by the rebels again. An agreement is struck, the meeting is adjourned, and the Chinese and MC hang out to celebrate. A toast is made to new allies and dead traitors. With that, Bishop shoots Jimmy in the back of the head.
It turns out the Chinese knew Jimmy was doing side deals but couldn’t kill him themselves. They set it up in advance that the Mayans would take care of their problem.
Before the Mayans leave the casino, EZ’s reminded he has “unfinished business.” EZ doesn’t want to get busted for punching a cop, however, he’s told he won’t get in trouble because it’s tribal ground. One punch is all it takes before the cop’s buddies haul him away. EZ has a bit of a smile and more swagger as he leaves the casino.
Adelita and a few of her people walk through the square, unknowingly crossing paths with Emily and Dita who pause to watch the spot where the bodies were placed be scrubbed clean. Emily still can’t believe Miguel lied to her. Emily notices a baby in a stroller, but it’s not her son. She cries as she admits it was a stupid idea to come to the square.
That night, Felipe opens a locked cabinet and takes out one of his guns. The stranger in the van that was parked outside the butcher shop is now outside his house, and Felipe demands to know his identity. It turns out his name is Santiago Martin Himmler. Felipe questions him at gunpoint and learns he’s working with Agent Jimenez. He’s there because Jimenez wanted him to watch over Felipe since the Galindo cartel appears to be prepping for war.
Felipe disarms Santiago, tossing the agent’s gun away. “I don’t need a babysitter,” he growls as he stalks away.
EZ finally makes it home and Felipe’s been sitting up, watching TV, loaded gun in his lap. He covers it so EZ doesn’t know it’s there. Felipe then decides to tear up the note with Jimenez’s new contact number instead of passing it on to EZ.
Miguel comes to bed and apologizes to Emily. He’s aware she went to the square, but he’s not angry.
Bishop and Marcus go over the day’s events, and Marcus reveals he still wonders how the details of the Vegas run were discovered the night the shipment was attacked. Bishop wonders if it’s someone in the MC but Marcus isn’t sure.
Angel checks in on his dad and then hunts for food in the frig.
Adelita’s rebels sit around a campfire and eat dinner. A young boy who claims to be the son of the burned vendor has joined their group and when he reaches for a piece of bread, a slash across his palm is revealed!
Netflix is set to launch the new series Maniac on Friday, September 21, 2018 and in support of its upcoming debut, a new video’s been released promoting the series. The new video features scientists at Neberdine Pharmaceutical Biotech advocating for a new drug that will make its users happy, healthy and normal in just three days.
The doctors assure potential clients they don’t have to “be lost in the cold, dark void anymore.”
The cast of Maniac is led by Oscar winner Emma Stone (La La Land) and Oscar nominee Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street, Moneyball). Stone and Hill previously worked together in the 2007 R-rated high school comedy Superbad, directed by Greg Mottola and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
The series’ cast also includes Justin Theroux (The Girl on the Train), Oscar winner Sally Field (Places in the Heart, Norma Rae), Julia Garner (The Americans, Ozark), and Jemima Kirke (Girls, The Little Hours).
Cary Fukunaga (True Detective, Beasts of No Nation) directed all 10 episodes of the series which was created by novelist Patrick Somerville.
“Set in a world somewhat like our world, in a time quite similar to our time, Maniac tells the stories of Annie Landsberg (Emma Stone) and Owen Milgrim (Jonah Hill), two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons. Annie’s disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia.
Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray (Justin Theroux), claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they’re assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently.

When Walter next door (Walsh) walks deliberately into the path of an oncoming car, Wren witnesses the accident and calls 911, saving his life. However, once a local cop (Quinn) arrives on the scene, she is nowhere to be found. Word spreads around town to everyone, including Jo Ann & Arnie Bayberry (Hurt and Gerety) and Donna (Gray), about Wren. The town’s curiosity only grows when the local mailman starts delivering bags of letters to her door every day. Jo Ann’s vigil on Walter’s lawn quickly expands along with her fascination with Wren.
In discovering Wren’s secrets, Jo Ann witnesses a series of small miracles that unfold and shake up life in the quiet town. This story embraces the imperfections that make us human, offers a way to set ourselves free and asks us all to take a good, long look at the wild birds in the sky.”
