Today’s 1st screening: #Elio, the latest Pixar film to capture the magic of childhood through the lens of loneliness & one boy’s desperation to be abducted by aliens. Visually appealing, creatively plotted & surprisingly sentimental. In theaters Friday! Review Awards Buzz tmrw.



I spoke with #BrianJordanAlvarez about the process of making #EnglishTeacher into a show, the (lack of) articles in the title, and his approach to finding exactly the right talent to play not just the teachers but also the students. Watch Awards Buzz: youtu.be/ZH8Dq62jdSg

I’ve been a fan of #CassidyFreeman since #Smallville and #Longmire, and I was very happy to get to speak to her about playing, in my opinion, the most normal character on #TheRighteousGemstones. Watch the full conversation for Awards Buzz: youtu.be/y-2Pg6P7Jew

Eric has gone on a real rollercoaster (mostly of his own doing) during the first 3 seasons of #Industry. I appreciate the insight #KenLeung has into his character & how he & Harper have essentially switched places in the power dynamic. Watch Awards Buzz: youtu.be/3TR4YyW8Ib8


S2 E2 of #TheLastofUs contains some formidable effects. I spoke with VFX supervisor #NickEpstein and animation super #DennisYoo about what went into creating that snow-covered horde, the Bloater, and more! Watch the full conversation for Awards Buzz: youtu.be/Pj31YvlkswU

People don’t tend to live long on #HouseoftheDragon, especially when they sit on a throne, but #TomGlynnCarney is well aware of his character’s fate and currently embracing his time spent as #AegonTargaryen. Watch the full conversation for Awards Buzz: youtu.be/dDpwjMxBStY

After directing key episodes of #Homeland, #LesliLinkaGlatter is back in the government conspiracy world with #ZeroDay on @Netflix. We talked research, #RobertDeNiro & the many big & less-known shows she’s worked on over the years. Watch Awards Buzz: youtu.be/MDJzIJw2MIc

I’m genuinely curious about the overlap of #MCU fans and those who know #PattiLuPone from Broadway, and she is too! We discussed playing Lilia on #AgathaAllAlong and how it compares to her stage career. Watch the full conversation for Awards Buzz: youtu.be/g5tOirGLubI

#KatherineLaNasa brings an intensity & resolve to charge nurse #DanaEvans on #ThePitt. It was fascinating to hear how having an unglamorous arc as someone who suffers a physical assault completely changed her filming experience. Watch Awards Buzz: youtu.be/oCbA2NZwb1E
