Writer and actress Sarah Megan Thomas had always been interested in World War II and spies. She had been wanting to tell a female spy story and heard about Winston Churchill’s female spies.
Diving in, Thomas found herself in a rabbit hole reading up on the secret British World War II organization, The Special Operations Executive (Soe), Thomas found herself writing about the unheard female heroes who gathered intel and created espionage in France.
In “A Call to Spy,” now streaming on demand, Thomas plays Virginia Hall, starring alongside Stana Katic who plays Vera Atkins and Radhika Apte (Noor Inayat Khan) as the trio of spies working to fight evil.
Thomas and production designer Kim Jennings talked about writing the script, telling an empowering female story, the importance of hiring females and creating World War II in modern-day Philadelphia.
It’s not very often we get to see stories about women during the war.

Julie Taymor’s ‘The Glorias’ Pivots From Theatrical Release, Sets Amazon Debut Prior To The Election
Exclusive: The Glorias is shifting from a theatrical release and heading straight to Amazon Prime Video. Directed by Julie Taymor, the non-traditional film chronicling the life of iconic activist Gloria Steinem is set to stream exclusively on Prime Video in U.S. and Canada and be available for purchase on all Electronic Sell-Through platforms starting September 30.
The Glorias debuted at Sundance earlier this year and was acquired by Roadside Attractions and Ld Entertainment shortly after its premiere. The pic was set for a September 25 theatrical release, but, as with all films, things remained up in the air due to the current landscape. Even so, Roadside & Ld shared Taymor and producers Lynn Hendee and Alex Saks’ passion for the film and felt that it should reach the widest possible audience prior to the election.

Mixing Sci-Fi and Christmas often has mixed results. Sometimes it works well and sometimes it's forced. This fact is best represented by the Doctor Who Christmas specials, which have become an annual holiday tradition over the past eight years. Some have been awesome and some have been awful. How does this year's special The Snowmen rate? Let's look at the eight specials and see which were Christmas gifts for the fans and which were lumps of coal.
The Feast of Steven (1965)
Way back in 1965, before Dr. Who Christmas specials became a regular thing, we had "The Feast of Steven", a classic series episode starring William Hartnell as the first Doctor. It was the seventh episode of a 12-part serial called "The Dalek Master Plan", which took up much of the fourth season of the classic show. Since the episode was due to air on Christmas Day, the producers decided that...
