Barryis getting intense. We’re nearing the end of the first season ofBill HaderandAlec Berg’s brilliant half-hour HBO series, and what began as a humorous story of a hitman trying to become an actor has begun to swing a bit more into drama territory to terrific results. Tonight’s episode, “Listen with Your Ears, React with Your Face,” featured both IBS jokes and a shootout.Barrycontains multitudes. Since these next few episodes ofBarryreally ramp up the story in a big way, I recently got on the phone with Bill Hader to break down each episode exclusively for Collider....

Though 2017 saw the release of exactly no movies starringMelissa McCarthy,it’s not like she was taking it easy. Indeed, 2018 will likely see the release of three movies with McCarthy at front-and-center, includingThe Happytime Murders, her long-awaited, adult-themed collaboration with directorBrian Henson. She’ll next be seen inLife of the Party, in which she will co-star withGillian Jacobsunder the direction of her off-screen husband and longtime creative partnerBen Falcone. The most promising of the three, however, isCan You Ever Forgive Me?...

As the prominent faces of the Western genre and idealist representations of traditional leading men, it’s easy to compareJohn WayneandClint Eastwoodto each other. Playing heroic archetypes of cowboys, law enforcement officers, and combat soldiers, Wayne and Eastwood defined a vision of American masculinity for multiple generations. Their artistic sensibilities put them in conversation with each other. Still, the two movie stars differed in more ways than one, especially concerning their self-consciousness evoking a pristine image as heroes....

Sure, theCounterparttrailer starts off like other spy series we’ve seen before, where a government cog stumbles into a back room and ends up becoming part of a much larger conspiracy. But whereCounterpartdoubles down, literally, is by introducing a dose of sci-fi. It turns out that this bureaucratic agency is hiding a portal to a parallel dimension, one which holds shadow versions of ourselves. As such,J.K. SimmonsPrime gets to meet J.K. Simmons-2, and the results are delightful....

Netflix has revealed the first clip fromAdam Wingard’sDeath Noteadaptation and … it’s certainly an interesting choice to start out with. For newcomers to the story, which began as Japanese manga series written byTsugumi Ohbaand illustrated byTakeshi Obata, and has already been adapted into an anime series as well as a live-action TV show and movies, this is a tough introduction when told out of context. So I’ll do what this clip does not and provide a little for you....

If you’re already an abundantly silly show likeDoom Patrol, how do you continue to up the ante? You will always have a great asset inBrendan Fraservoicing a fully robotic man known as Robotman AKA Cliff Steele, something I can say with the utmost certainty that no other show out there can claim, though you still have to find something for him and the rest of the team to do. Where do you then go whenprevious seasonshave involved a whole host of absurd elements such as fights with Jesus, all the characters dying then coming back to life before becoming undead, and battles with were-butts?...

The latest trailer for Aardman’s upcoming stop-motion filmEarly Manpaints our clearest picture yet. There’s plenty of comedy to mine in setting the story around a community of primitive prehistoric humans–and this trailer certainly suggests directorNick Parkwill be doing just that–butEarly Manevolves that premise in a literal fashion. The story will take its characters and audiences out of the Stone Age and thrust them awkwardly into the cutting-edge technology of the Bronze Age....

For many years of Netflix service, folks in need of television comfort food streamed, and re-streamed, and re-streamed some more a little ’90s sitcom calledFriends. Even as Netflix kept pumping out original content, folks kept returning toFriends, seeking solace in those six buds –David Schwimmer,Matthew Perry,Matt LeBlanc,Jennifer Aniston,Courteney Cox, andLisa Kudrow– hanging out in those NYC apartments no one can afford. Until… poof. In the crossfire of every media company crafting their own separate streaming services,Friendsleft Netflix, on a road to the forthcoming HBO Max....
