Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Joel McHale claims they have the funding for the Community movie, and now it’s just a matter of filming it, which should happen sometime next year.
To be honest, I had completely forgotten that Jean-Claude Van Damme appeared in Friends. But he was embarrassed by his acting and he made Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston uncomfortable with his overly-enthusiastic kissing? Yeah, that all checks out.
It sounds like Michael Easton is not returning to General Hospital anytime soon, and that he’s not thrilled on how he was written off.
AI is coming for your TV shows (and is often already there).
I don’t know who needs a long piece on why there are so many penises on TV today, complete with VERY NSFW images of said penises. But if this applies to you, no judgment. Obviously. I’m the one bringing it to you. (If you’re not interested in having your eyeballs poked out, the answers according to this article seem to be: “The influence of online pornography, the rise of streamers, advances in prosthetics and the introduction of intimacy coordinators have all contributed to this proliferation of peckers. Female show runners can also take credit since they tend to promote equality in other areas. The likes of Bridgerton’s Shonda Rhimes and Sex Education’s Laurie Nunn are helping to compensate for decades of domination by the male gaze.”)
