“I was writing [Glass Onion] during the lockdown of 2020, and I wanted to be on a beach vacation more than anything.”
“Lock the doors, stay in your rooms. Everyone is in danger."
“So much of why I'm so into making these is that they just do bring me an intense amount of joy. Working with Daniel in this genre and having fun with it and the humor, getting to work with a new group of actors every time, everything about it just brings me happiness.”
“The phrase I kept coming back to and talking about the first movie is, ‘It's a roller coaster and not a crossword puzzle. It's a common mistake in writing whodunits, thinking that you're making a crossword puzzle and that the fun is that the audience is actually going to analyze all this and figure it out. I know when I'm reading or watching a whodunit, I always let go of the notion of figuring it out about a third of the way through it.”
“The reality is that what makes something successful is a story, and that’s true of a whodunit as well. Are there characters that you care about? Are you pulled through emotionally? Are you on a ride with them with this story? Then the revelation of it all coming together and the whodunit, and the fact that it is all layered in there, is part of the fun of the genre. But, in a way, it can't be the spine that actually is supporting the body of the whole thing. You just need a good story.”
“These movies are made to thrill audiences, and I can’t wait to feel the energy of the crowd as they experience Glass Onion. Between this and the release on Netflix in December, I’m excited that audiences around the world will be able to enjoy the film!”
The Neighborhood Mud, Blood & Beer Productions/A Bird and a Bear Entertainment/Kapital Entertainment/Trill Television CBS Studios/CBS #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) "The Neighborhood on CBS is about a friendly Midwestern couple (Dave and Gemma Johnson) and their son Grover (Hank Greenspan) who move to a neighborhood in Los Angeles. Gemma (Beth Behrs) got a new job as a school principal in L.A. Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield) is just about the friendliest guy in the world. I don't think anyone can dislike him. Well one person can... They have a pretty opinionated next-door neighbor, the grouchy mechanic Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer). He has a wife named Tina (Tichina Arnold) and two sons Marty (Marcel Spears) and Malcolm (Sheaun McKinney). Dave is desperately trying to fit in with the community. Will the Johnsons be accepted by everyone? The series is quite amusing. Tina as Calvin's wife is fun as she keeps...
The Dropout Elizabeth Meriwether Pictures/Semi-Formal Productions/20th Television/Searchlight Television Disney Platform Distribution/Hulu Genre Drama #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) 'The Dropout' tells the story of Elizabeth Holmes (Amanda Seyfried). The series basically explores the rise and fall of Elizabeth Holmes and Theranos. Her goal was to create a blood diagnostic technology that will be able to run hundreds of tests on a single drop of blood. Her technology never worked. I must say, Amanda Seyfried does an amazing portrayal of Elizabeth Holmes. The story allows you to see Holmes in high school, as a college freshman, and eventually a businesswoman. If you like Netflix’s “ Inventing Anna " or Showtime’s “ Super Pumped ” you will definitely like "The Dropout". If you want to learn more about the story, make sure to check out the HBO documentary 'The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley' (2019) dire...

Murderville Electric Avenue/Abominable Pictures/Mister Krister/Artists First/Tiger Aspect Productions Netflix #whatonwhatsgood Express Review (by: Jovin Tardif) In the comedy/crime/mystery Murderville on Netflix , Detective Terry Seattle [Will Arnett] and his guest celebrity improvise a murder investigation. Basically, the guest star has to improvise their way through the case. It's an interesting concept. The improv wasn't bad. Arnett looked like he had a great time working with the different celebrities. My favourite episodes were Conan and Kumail. It was also fun trying to figure out the mysteries. I'm now interested in watching the British version. Based on Murder in Successville by Andy Brereton and Avril Spary Directed by Iain K. Morris, Brennan Shroff Starring Will Arnett as Senior Detective Terry Seattle Haneefah Wood as Chief Rhonda Jenkins-Seattle Lilan Bowden as Amber Kang Phillip Smithey as Det. Darre...

Servant Blinding Edge Pictures/Escape Artists/Dolphin Black Productions Apple Inc./Apple TV+ Express Review "Servant is creepy. I guess it's what we should expect from M. Night Shyamalan. The story follows Philadelphia married couple, Dorothy (Lauren Ambrose) and Sean Turner (Toby Kebbell), whose child (Jericho) is deceased. Following the death of their son, Dorothy uses a baby doll as a coping mechanism. Before Jericho’s passing, she hired an 18-year-old Leanne Grayson (Nell Tiger Free) to be their nanny. Leanne is not what you think. I am not actually sure how to explain her to you but she can turn a doll into a real baby. How does she do it? Who is she?" Created by Tony Basgallop Written by Tony Basgallop, Nina Braddock, Ishana Night Shyamalan Starring Lauren Ambrose as Dorothy Turner (née Pearce) Toby Kebbell as Sean Turner Nell Tiger Free as Leanne Grayson Rupert Grint as Julian Pearce Sunita Mani as Vera Jack and ...
The Beanie Bubble Apple Studios, Imagine Entertainment Apple TV+ Description Why did the world suddenly treat stuffed animals like gold? Ty Warner was a frustrated toy salesman until his collaboration with three women grew his masterstroke of an idea into the biggest toy crazy in history. "The Beanie Bubble" is an inventive story about what and who we value, and the unsung heroes whose names didn't appear on the heart-shaped tag. Express Review Ty Warner (Zach Galifianakis) and his business partner Robbie (Elizabeth Banks) created a company called Ty Inc. Ty and others created the popular stuffed animal called the Beanie Babies back in the 1990s. The film gives you a bit of the backstory of the Beanie plush toy.

Interview with AMERICAN HORROR STORY Naomi Grossman Today on #whatonwhatsgood with Jovin Tardif, I am here with Naomi Grossman . You may know Naomi from her role in Ctrl Alt Delete . Grossman also plays "Pepper" on FX's American Horror Story : Asylum & Freak Show. She also appeared as a new character, the Satanist "Samantha Crowe" in the eighth season, Apocalypse. Today, we discuss her new film romantic comedy BITE ME! available now, and much more. 1. What do you love about acting? That’s a really good question. I have to remind myself of the answer regularly! Because there’s a lot of things I don’t love about this business. But at the risk of sounding cheesy, I think it’s just what I was put here to do. I'm a performer through and through— like us vampires in “Bite Me” get our energy from blood, I get my energy from an audience. The validation of applause… the gratification of laughter… the knowledge you’ve touched people… it’s intoxicating. I...
Interview with Comedian Gary Robinson Today on What On What's Good with Jovin Tardif, I am here with Award-Winning Writer, Director, Producer, Editor, Photographer & Comedian Gary Robinson. In our interview, we discuss what inspired him to get into the entertainment industry, interning at The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, his video production company, being a stand-up comedian and much more. 1. What first inspired you to be in the entertainment industry? Like many people my age, I was really inspired by the first Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies. Star Wars showed how you could create a realistic and exciting story that takes place anywhere and at any time. Finally, it felt like “realistic” creative storytelling was really only limited by our imagination. And for a young boy, Raiders of the Lost Ark really took you on an adventure, far beyond the realities of daily life. Those movies made me realize I wanted to tell stories, and inspire people, ...
