Danny Dyer stars alongside creator and writer Ryan Sampson in Mr Bigstuff, which has now been recommissioned for a second series.
Danny Dyer may be better known these days as Mick Carter in EastEnders, but before that, he’d been a steady presence in British film for over two decades, from his debut in Justin Kerrigan’s Human Traffic through The Football Factory and Severance.
The one thing Dyer had never done was lead a sitcom – until now. Mr Bigstuff is created and written by Ryan Sampson, who’s perhaps best known for starring alongside Nicholas Lyndhurst and Celia Imrie in BBC sitcom After You’ve Gone, and for co-starring in ITV2 sitcom Plebs.
The synopsis for Mr Bigstuff reads as follows:
Mr Bigstuff explores broken families, fragile masculinity and carpet sales. It tells the story of two estranged brothers; Glen (Ryan Sampson), a nervy perfectionist striving to live the suburban...

There are nearly 500 anti-lgbtq+ bills currently advancing through state legislatures. Many bills specifically target drag shows or other public performances–censoring or outright banning them. Of course, there are also plenty of Don’t Say Gay bills, bathroom bills, and other anti-trans bills circulating in this country. It’s a terrifying time to be queer. Such lawmaking creates an atmosphere of fear, hate, and violence, and it’s difficult to find joy. Joy, such an elusive experience these days. But I found the joy I so desperately needed recently with Wesley Taylor and Alex Wyse’s Summoning Sylvia, one of the year’s most important releases.
The film tells the story of a group of gay friends on a weekend retreat to celebrate Larry’s (Travis Coles) upcoming nuptials. Reggie (Troy Iwata), Kevin (Noah Ricketts), and Nico (Frankie Grande) bankroll a three-night stay in a creepy Victorian-style home, where allegedly...

Catching the killer wasn't the point of "True Detective" season 1. In fact, even when the killer was caught, that was far from the end of the story. Fans of that first season may still be haunted by Marty Hart's (Woody Harrelson) acknowledgment in the final episode, "We ain't gonna get them all. That ain't the kind of world it is." "Them," in this context, refers to a group of influential Louisianians who had been committing horrific crimes against women and children for decades. And the fact that most of them remained at large was perhaps the most disturbing part of the whole season.
In the eighth and final episode of "True Detective" season 1, Marty and his detective partner Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) find and kill Errol Childress (Glenn Fleshler). Childress was the son of William Lee Childress, who in turn was the illegitimate son of Sam Tuttle, patriarch of...

“You think anything’s going to stand in the way of us playing the Palace this time? Oh no, not even a war.”
Judy Garland and Gene Kelly in For Me And My Gal (1942) will be available on Blu-ray June 7th from Warner Archive. It can be purchased at the Warner Archive Amazon Store
Judy Garland got top billing at the mere age of 20 as the central star of this quintessential classic that introduced none other than Gene Kelly, making his film debut as her co-star.
Directed with panache by the legendary maven of the movie musical Busby Berkeley, the films casts Gene and Judy as young vaudeville performers Harry Palmer and Jo Hayden.
The pair dream of stardom, but the United States enters World War I and Harry receives his draft notice–trapping the two between their obligation to each other’s dreams and their duty to their country.

It’s been such a long wait for the release of the new film from Wes Anderson that the filmmaker himself is already prepping to shoot his next film this summer. 2021, however, is finally the year of The French Dispatch and ahead of a Cannes Film Festival debut, a stateside premiere at New York Film Festival, and a release on October 22, we’ve now got another tease in the form of the official soundtrack details and a preview.
Made up of 25 tracks, the score comes from Anderson’s recent frequent collaborator Alexandre Desplat as well piano solos performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet, notes Film Music Reporter, who revealed the first details. Also including songs by Grace Jones, Ennio Morricone, Jarvis Cocker, Chantal Goya, and more, we’ve collected the currently available tracks on a Spotify playlist.

The mere suggestion sends Deacon into a rant, causing Scarlett to point out Deacon did put the guy in the hospital. Scarlett says that if Deacon wants Rayna to believe that he's sorry, he actually needs to be sorry.

As True Detective reaches its finale, it's possible that the light's winning. Here's Michael's review...
This review contains spoilers
1.8 Form and Void
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Matthew McConaughey described the pattern of thinking that helped him create the ‘psychedelically complex’ character of Rust Cohle at each stage of his appearance. Of the boozy and dishevelled 2012 vintage, he says that ‘he’s a guy who lived longer than he hoped’, a marvellous phrase that, like ‘psychedelically complex’, I rather wish I’d written myself. It encapsulates a great deal of Cohle’s southern-fried nihilism, pitching him as a man who has not only left his best years behind him, but who has left pretty much everything behind him. His family, his career, his health, every productive relationship, all gone. All that’s left is the case, the investigation he no longer follows so much as inhabits,...

With the first season of "True Detective" calling it a day, a rewatch might be in order to pick up on the clues, themes, philosophies and more spread throughout the show.

Another look reveals that Martin's horror comes from finally witness the Red Wedding from "Game Of Thrones." We feel you bro, that was a tough one. Watch below. [via Reddit]...

Warning: There are spoilers for "True Detective" up through episode 7 in this article.
After "True Detective" episode 7's reveal of the Yellow King in episode 7, "After You've Gone," viewers quickly realized that they had met this evil man before. Back in episode 3, Cohle had a conversation with the man on the lawnmower before being called away. In that episode the man had a beard, which would explain why both fans and Cohle didn't notice his facial "spaghetti man" scars.
Though many might have missed the Yellow King in his first appearance, the creators of "True Detective" very much wanted him to be noticed. As one Reddit user points out, the scene where the Yellow King is first introduced actually has a sign that says "notice king."
In the actual scene (above) it's easy to miss, but the camera lingers long enough to show that the shot was intentional. Celeb fanboy...

Last Sunday night, I gave True Detective a bad review. In return, it gave me nightmares.
That night, my brain conjured up not one but two separate imaginary season finales in dream form. In one, Rust Cohle and Marty Hart tracked the killer conspiracy to an oily Louisiana politician (played, in the dream, by Deadwood veteran Zach Grenier, proving that my brain and True Detective's casting director have a similar attitude about raiding past great HBO dramas for talent). Content they'd gotten their man at last, they didn't notice the hulking,...

A review of tonight's "True Detective" coming up just as soon as I throw you a barbell when you're drowning... "My life's been a circle of violence and degradation, long as I can remember. I'm ready to tie it off." -Rust We've spent the previous six weeks of "True Detective" talking quite a bit about the thin way that Nic Pizzolatto has written the characters who aren't Rust and Marty, and debating whether this is a feature or a bug. Now, this has always been a very self-aware series, one that's commenting on various clichés of police procedurals and serial killer melodramas even as it deploys them all, and one where our heroes spent the first five hours (and, for Marty, part of the sixth) looking into a video camera — and, more often than not, directly at us — and offering commentary on the story that we're watching. Pizzolatto has written crime stories of his own,...

All you ever wanted to know about Bond – his earliest memory, his most treasured possession, his most unappealing habit. Don't miss William Boyd's interview with 007
James Bond was born in 1924. His father was Andrew Bond, a Scottish engineer who worked for the Vickers armament firm, and his mother, Monique, was Swiss, née Delacroix. Bond was initially educated abroad and became fluent in German and French. His parents, however, died in a tragic climbing accident when Bond was 11 years old. He was sent to Eton, and spent only two terms there before being expelled. The rest of his secondary education took place in Scotland, at Fettes College, Edinburgh, his father's old school. Bond left school at the age of 17 in 1941, and, lying about his age, joined a branch of what would become the Ministry of Defence. He ended the war with the rank of commander in the Special Branch of...

A new feature film entitled 'Round Ireland with a Fridge', from UK based Fridge d'Or Films, has completed production. Directed by Ed Bye (After You've Gone), the film is written by Tony Hawks (Red Dwarf) - who also stars alongside Irish talent Valerie O'Connor (The Daisy Chain) and comedian Ed Byrne (The Cassidys). 'Round Ireland with a Fridge' tells the tale of a disillusioned TV personality who accepts a drunken bet that he cannot hitch-hike around the entire circumference of Ireland, accompanied by his fridge. He embarks on a bizarre, funny and at times uncomfortable journey, which opens his eyes to a more relaxed way of life, beyond the confines of his cosy London media world. Along the way, he falls in love with a feisty radio reporter, encounters a philosophical toiletries salesman and takes his fridge surfing.
