Season 12 of Curb Your Enthusiasm revisits Seinfeld's "The Smelly Car" storyline. Richard recruits Larry to help buy a Mercedes with an "old car smell" due to losing his sense of smell. The modern twist on a classic Seinfeld storyline involves long Covid, adding a new layer.
Warning: This article contains spoilers for Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12, episode 8.
Curb Your Enthusiasm season 12 has made plenty of references to the Seinfeld finale – and seems to be building toward a tongue-in-cheek redo – but episode 8, “The Colostomy Bag,” repeats a different storyline from Larry David’s other show. The episode sees Richard Lewis recruiting Larry to help him buy a vintage Mercedes. Since Richard lost his sense of smell to long Covid, he needs Larry’s nose to detect an “old car smell.” In a Seinfeld callback, Larry detects a smell, but still gets guilt-tripped into buying the car after making the false...

American Horror Story: Delicate Part 2 will be released on April 3, 2024, following a long hiatus. The delay was caused by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, which halted production until September and November of 2023. The final episodes will be released weekly, airing on FX at 10 pm Et and available to stream the next day on Hulu.
After a long hiatus following the release of its first five episodes, the rest of the episodes of American Horror Story: Delicate finally have a release date. This is not the first time American Horror Story has split up its seasons into parts, but the reasons for it are completely different. Season 10 had two separate stories, one covering the first six episodes and another covering the final four, thus why it was split into two parts. Despite this, season 10's second part continued to follow the same weekly schedule the show usually follows, so there was no delay between both parts.

Following The Film Stage’s collective top 50 films of 2023, as part of our year-end coverage, our contributors are sharing their personal top 10 lists.
In all honesty, the films of 2023 should take a backseat to the images we are seeing every day in Gaza, where journalists and average citizens have been recording and documenting a daily assault on their homes and livelihoods by the Idf. Whatever fakery we watched and enjoyed in the cinema this year should always be kept in perspective in importance with images that are real and actually happening right now. The Palestinians who have documented these important images have been targeted and killed with intent and purpose to silence what their photos and videos are showing and saying.
List of journalists who have been killed.

It's remarkable to think that a decade-long franchise will be coming to an end.
When Good Trouble hangs the key on the hook at the Coterie, it will mark the end of The Fosters franchise and its enduring legacy.
It's hard to even put into words what it will mean to close the chapter on such a monumental and influential franchise that has spanned two series and to say goodbye to the Adams-Fosters specifically.
We had the opportunity to follow Callie and Mariana Adams Foster from their adolescence into adulthood.
The closing of this saga also harkens to the void in primetime television as family dramas continue to sign off with nothing left in their wake.
My colleague, Jack Ori, has previously lamented the loss of family dramas, which I heartily agree with. From the end of Blue Bloods to This is Us and A Million Things, we're missing out...

Only Murders in the Building has a problem with how it treats Mabel's love life, making her and the people involved feel robotic and objectified. The show has a bad habit of creating dead romances for Mabel, like with Oscar and Alice, which cheapens their roles and leaves fans wondering why they should get attached to Mabel's love life. Instead of focusing on Mabel having a romantic relationship, the show should explore her personal growth, her art-making career, and her family issues.

Season three of Only Murders in the Building ended with another, well, murder. But this time, the victim will hit close to home for the starring trio, especially for Charles (Steve Martin).
The final moments of the season three finale, “Opening Night,” saw Sazz (Jane Lynch) fall to the floor of Charles’ kitchen after being shot in the chest through the window. It’s probably safe to assume next season’s murderer hoped to take down Martin’s character, but confused him with his longtime stunt double. Before the screen cuts to black, Sazz is seen attempting to write something on Charles’ colorful floor with blood from her chest.
While fans will have to wait until Only Murders in the Building season four — which was announced Tuesday morning — to see who wants to kill Charles and why, showrunner John Hoffman teased what...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers for “Opening Night,” the Season 3 finale of “Only Murders in the Building.”
Season 3 sees Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) work together to uncover who may have wanted to kill Ben, and the list is long.
Ben, the star of Oliver’s new Broadway play, was hated by a lot of people. As it turns out, that includes Charles, who punched Ben across the face right before opening night. It also includes Loretta, played by Meryl Streep, who is secretly the biological mother of Ben’s manager and adopted brother, Dickie (Jeremy Shamos). And there’s Dickie himself, the overshadowed creator of the movie franchise that made Ben famous.
But as is revealed in Season 3 finale of “Only Murders in the Building,” titled “Opening Night,” it’s the producers of Oliver’s play — a mother and son — who are revealed to have done the deed.

If you’ll allow a dreadful detective a brief moment to savor his sagacity: I absolutely called the cookie thing.
Yes, technically, the poisoned Schmackary’s pastry was part of the penultimate episode’s big reveal — when the murder board’s accusatory tacks jumped from Loretta (Meryl Streep) to Donna (Linda Emond) — but it also bears weight for the finale’s last twist and helps explain how well said twist lands with viewers.
Back when we first saw the recording of Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) talking to an offscreen someone (or something), his chosen words sounded a little too particular. “I want you so fucking bad,” he says, “but we both know you’ll ruin my career.” Based only on his few choice scenes in the premiere, what does Ben want? Cookies. What can’t he have? Also, cookies. (He’s...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Only Murders in the Building, Season 3, Episode 10, “Opening Night.”] Only Murders in the Building has uncovered its Season 3 murderer, solving the mystery behind Ben Glenroy’s (Paul Rudd) untimely death. As it turns out, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel’s (Selena Gomez) theory that producer Donna DeMeo (Linda Emond) was responsible for poisoning Ben was accurate but not a fully-baked theory. Sure, she provided Ben with a Schmakary’s cookie sprinkled with rat poison, but her son Clifford DeMeo (Wesley Taylor) gave Ben the final push down an elevator shaft at the Arconia. At first, Donna confesses to it all, claiming she killed Ben, but Mabel notices the protective nature of her confession, which includes the fact that she’d only intended to knock Ben out after reading a bad review for the play. Realizing Donna initially intended to protect her son, Mabel observes the mother-son duo from afar,...

[This story contains major spoilers for the Only Murders in the Building season three finale, with immediate ramifications for season four. Proceed with caution.]
Who killed Paul Rudd? That was the number one question on Only Murders in the Building all season long, as the Hulu murder mystery comedy launched viewers into its third season with the star-studded slaying of special guest star Rudd as superstar Ben Glenroy. Now, following the season finale, “Opening Night,” we have our answer, and we’re left with an even deadlier question: Who killed Jane Lynch?
Before its shocking final scene, “Opening Night” untangles the mystery of Ben Glenroy’s death. At the start of the season, everyone assumed Glenroy had died onstage during the opening night of Oliver Putnam’s (Martin Short) new play. In fact, he survived, only to plummet to his death later that evening down an elevator shaft at the Arconia. Did the same killer strike twice,...

In Hollywood and across the globe, directors have focused their attention on the cost of art and what it takes to make a masterpiece in film, music, or any other art form. Movies like All That Jazz, Opening Night, and Frida provide sobering portraits of how genius manifests and how art can transform the world. Not many films, however, focus on the hilarious chaos that comes from making mediocre or even downright bad art. For anyone hoping for the 8 ½ of bad theater, the wait is over.

Lea Michele made her Glee character proud on Sunday during her final Funny Girl performance.
Michele earned a standing ovation — by some accounts, her fifth of the afternoon — when she closed Sunday’s show with a surprise performance of “My Man,” the Barbra Streisand cover that was not part of the original Broadway production nor the revival, but was included in the 1968 film.

Gena Rowlands is the Ocar-nominated thespian who made a name for herself thanks to a series of manic, high-wire performances in several films, many of them directed by her late husband, indie maverick John Cassavetes. But how many of her titles remain classics? Let’s take a look back at 12 of Rowlands’s greatest films, ranked worst to best.
After making a name for herself with bit parts onstage and onscreen, Rowlands flourished when she became the muse of Cassavetes, who she married in 1954. A fellow performer, Cassavetes would raise money from appearing in movies like “The Dirty Dozen” (1967) and “Rosemary’s Baby” (1968), immediately funneling the funds into his own projects. His wife was usually front and center, as were their family members and friends.
Rowlands’s operatic performances were a perfect match for her husband’s improvisational, energetic films, including “Faces” (1968), “Minnie and Moskowitz” (1971), “Opening Night” (1977) and “Love Streams” (1984). Her...

[This story contains major spoilers from the series finale of Barry, “Wow.”]
It’d be understandable if you expected things not to work out for Sarah Goldberg’s Sally Reed in the series finale of HBO’s Barry.
After all, things hadn’t been going her way for a while. In season three, just as she finally achieved the success she’d yearned for, the rug was pulled out from under her when her show is canceled (and so is she, after a career-ending outburst and her association with her hitman ex-boyfriend Barry Berkman, played by writer-director-star Bill Hader). In season four, Sally is a shell of herself — or at least she thinks so. Viewers saw her find her way back to Los Angeles and follow Gene Cousineau’s (Henry Winkler) path, pivoting from acting to teaching acting. And while it’s something she’s good at, it’s not the thing she wants. Her ego, eventually, gets in her way once again.

The end of "Barry" is nigh, and while we don't know exactly where these characters will end up, we do know that the actors had a major say in it. The very nature of the show intertwines the roles of performer and creator: Bill Hader isn't just the star, he also co-created the series. He's written several "Barry" episodes and directed plenty too (including the entire fourth season), showing off his filmmaking chops in the process.
Hader's experience on both sides of the camera might be why, according to his co-stars, he's generous about letting their perceptions inform their characters. Ahead of the series finale, the "Barry" main cast sat down with the Los Angeles Times for a group interview. Henry Winkler (Gene Cousineau) and Sarah Goldberg (Sally Reed) both described how Hader gave them a voice at the table.

Cannes festival director Thierry Fremaux is responding to French actress Adèle Haenel’s claims that the annual festival has supported “sexual aggressors” like director Roman Polanski and actor Gerard Depardieu.
Haenel, who publicly announced her retirement from acting in March 2022, penned an open letter last week slamming the Cannes Film Festival for protecting sexual abusers. “They join hands [to protect] the [Gerard] Depardieus, the [Roman] Polanskis, the [Dominique] Boutonnats,” Haenel wrote. “It bothers them that the victims make too much noise. They preferred that we disappear and die in silence.”
She added that Cannes was “ready to do anything to defend their rapist chiefs” and claimed that the French industry effectively “canceled” its own #MeToo movement.
Now, Cannes festival director Fremaux defended the festival from Haenel’s “radical” and “false” comments.

Eight years ago, the most famous Thai director in the world told IndieWire that was finished making movies in Thailand. After the release of his haunting “Cemetery of Splendour,” Apichatpong Weerasethakul said the threat of censorship had become too much for him. “I’ll say about a topic, ‘Hey, you cannot say that because you’ll be in jail,’” he said. “I’ve started to feel suffocated by this limitation.”
Weerasethakul — he goes by “Joe,” perhaps as an act of mercy for Westerners who struggle to pronounce his name — has only started the international phase of his career. “Memoria,” his first movie made outside of Thailand, became the country’s official Oscar submission in 2021. He’s already planning another one in Sri Lanka.
Yet Thailand remains the one place he feels most comfortable even as his work takes him elsewhere. He was calling from the northeastern region of the country while visiting his mother.

The Masked Singer panelist Ken Jeong loves to entertain the audience with his zany antics, and although he embraced every theme night this season by dressing the part, five of his wardrobe choices stood out as the best. Ken and his fellow panelists, Robin Thicke, Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, and Nicole Scherzinger, have gotten into the spirit of the theme nights ever since they were introduced during The Masked Singer season 8. Whether they're dressing in clothing that matches the theme or going all out in full costumes, they surprise everyone each week with their delightful choices.
The Masked Singer season 9 treated everyone to nine different theme nights. Round one consisted of Opening Night, Abba Night, and New York Night. These were followed by DC Superheroes, Sesame Street, and Country Nights in round two. The final round of the competition featured the '80s, WB Movie, and The Masked Singer in Space Night.

Bill Hader insists he never had any long range plans for “Barry’s” storylines.
At the Los Angeles premiere of the HBO series’ fourth and final season on Sunday, Hader told Variety when he first began the process of developing and pitching “Barry” seven years ago, he had “no idea where the series was going to end up.”
In fact, he says, Season 4 is “totally different” than his original plans. As the series wrapped, Hader revealed those final days were “very bittersweet,” but everyone was “also so tired, we were exhausted,” he said, laughing.
“Barry’s” fourth season picks up with Barry in prison after killing Janice (Paula Newsome), his mentor Gene Cousineau’s (Henry Winkler) girlfriend, in Season 1. “I had some sense of where we were headed,” said Sarah Goldberg, who plays Sally. “But I was very surprised by all the details on the way there.”

Kristen Stewart has been used to seeing herself on the big screen even long before her Twilight days. But when it came to other actors claiming they couldn’t watch their own performances, she wasn’t buying it.

Although Twilight turned her into an A-lister, Stewart has been an actor throughout much of her childhood. Starting out, she had very small parts in films like Flinstones in Viva Las Vegas and Safety Objects. From there, she scored a major role in Panic Room, and has been a fixture in the film industry since.
Stewart has been open about being very shy when she was a kid. Still, she chose the collaborative profession of acting because she simply enjoyed it.

New York Film Festival Executive Director Eugene Hernandez: “As soon as we watched Laura Poitras’s piercing new film, we knew that Nan Goldin was the right artist to design the official poster for the 60th anniversary of the New York Film Festival,”
Film at Lincoln Center has announced that Nan Goldin is the designer of the 60th New York Film Festival posters. Last month the Main Slate selection committee, chaired by Dennis Lim with Eugene Hernandez (who will become the director of the Sundance Film Festival in November), Florence Almozini, K Austin Collins, and Rachel Rosen proclaimed that Laura Poitras’s All The Beauty And The Bloodshed on the life and career of Goldin and the downfall of the Sackler family will be the Centerpiece selection of the festival. Noah Baumbach’s adaptation of Don DeLillo’s novel White Noise, starring Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig, will be...

Now, at the venerable age of 90, Venice is the oldest major film festival in the world. Founded in 1932, the event is still held on the balmy, beach-filled island of the Lido and has a faded elegance that other events such as Cannes and Berlin simply can’t emulate. In the 1930s, the controversies tended to be political. The main award was called The Mussolini Cup. There were furious rows over movies like Jean Renoir’s Grand Illusion, later banned in Italy for being too left wing, and German director Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia, which many saw as Nazi propaganda.
The 2022 edition has had plenty of talking points, too, but this time not to do with fascism. Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Look Now, which landed on the Lido midway through the festival like some dangerous UFO with Harry Styles inside, provoked a media feeding frenzy thanks to all the lurid advance...

In the wake of suffering a severe brain injury one week ago as a result of a devastating car crash, it’s being reported today that Anne Heche has tragically passed away.
The actress was just 53 years old, leaving behind two children.
“Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit,” Heche’s reps said in a statement. “More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy as her life’s work — especially moving the needle for acceptance of who you love. She will be remembered for her courageous honesty and dearly missed for her light.”
Heche had been in a coma since the crash in L.A.’s Mar Vista neighborhood on Friday, August 5. She had been under investigation for reportedly driving under the influence.
