Exclusive: Clayne Crawford (Lethal Weapon) is among those set to star in Stone Creek, a psychological thriller directed and produced by Robert Enriquez (Cash for Gold).

Others in the cast of the indie include Lyndon Smith (National Treasure: Edge of History), Britney Young (Glow), Vincent Washington (Young King), Andrew J. West (The Walking Dead) and Adam Hicks (Zeke and Luther).

Shooting in Northern Minnesota, the film written by Clint Elliott follows a small-town police chief as he embarks on a hunt for a serial killer, aided by a psychic, all while trying to steer clear of suspicion himself.

Best known for starring on Fox’s Lethal Weapon, Crawford’s other TV credits include Rectify, Rogue and 24, to name just a few. Notable feature credits include Finestkind, The Killing of Two Lovers, Wristcutters: A Love Story and A Walk to Remember.

Early on in Aline Brosh McKenna’s romantic comedy Your Place or Mine, rebranding consultant Peter (Ashton Kutcher) hits the nail on the head about this particular genre of movie: His work is “to teach you to tell a story to other people about you that is better than the story that you tell yourself. Because the stories that we tell ourselves are very limiting.” Rom-coms contain all manner of characters stuck in narratives of their own making: A man who can’t be friends with women (When Harry Met Sally), “always a bridesmaid, never a bride” (27 Dresses), and so forth. But the problem with setting up a movie that initially posits that two former lovers would make better long-distance best friends is… if the leads are never in the same room, it’s difficult to really sell their love.

Debbie (Reese Witherspoon) and Kutcher’s Peter would stun Harry,...

It’s clear that Glow still has a tight hold on Alison Brie.

The actress spoke with Decider for an interview published Friday to promote her new film Spin Me Round, and she was asked about the surprising turn of events surrounding the end of her Netflix series Glow. In September 2019, the show had been picked up for a fourth and final season, but the streamer reversed the decision in October 2020 amid the Covid-19 pandemic and announced it was done for good.

“It’s the great heartbreak of my career,” Brie admitted to the outlet. “But it will forever live on as, like, this great thing. I loved working on it — maybe more than anything I’ve worked on — and I miss it a lot. But I feel very grateful for the time I had on the show.”

When asked further about Netflix’s change of plans,...

Fans of Netflix’s “Glow” were dealt a wallop of a disappointment last month when the planned fourth and final season of the popular comedy series about women’s professional wrestling was axed due to the pandemic. Cast member Marc Maron shortly thereafter stoked fans’ excitement when he suggested that the best way to wrap the series would be a two-hour movie to give the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling one more shot in the ring. Alison Brie, according to a recent discussion as part of The Playlist’s “The Fourth Wall” podcast, shares that sentiment, but is also pessimistic about the return.

“I certainly think a [‘Glow’] movie could tie everything up,” said Brie. “Our creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, are incredible writers. And they’re so devoted to these characters that they created. I think a movie would be a great way to wrap it up. I’m...

The ladies of Glow revealed this week that in addition to fighting as wrestlers onscreen, they were fighting for better representation behind the scenes as well. Star Sunita Mani posted a letter that she and fellow actresses of color sent to Netflix over the summer, asking the streaming platform to improve their experiences on the show and make them feel less "disempowered."  Mani explained on Instagram that the stars of color in the cast had a "raw and personal coming-together" in June to talk about how Glow reckons with race and how to "hold my show accountable." Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Kia Stevens, Ellen Wong and Shakira Barrera joined Mani in sending an...

Updated with comments from all cast members: The cancellation of Glow is a big loss when it comes to the representation of women on TV. Sydelle Noel, Sunita Mani, Britney Young, Shakira Barrera, Kia Stevens and Ellen Wong recently posted a letter on Instagram addressing the lack of authentic inclusion in the series. They sent the letter to the show producers and creators earlier this year during the show’s hiatus before the cancellation.

Noel, Mani, Young, Barrera, Stevens and Wong all posted personal statements in regards to the show’s lack of authenticity and then posted a unifying letter that, before Glow‘s cancelation, demanded change when it came to the portrayal of women of color.

“We are writing to you today to share some feelings that have been suppressed in all of us for a long time,” the letter starts. “As the principal women of color on a...

Back in June when Glow was on hiatus while in production on what the cast thought would be the fourth and final season of the Netflix series, six of the show’s stars sent a letter to the streaming giant and Glow’s co-creators and executive producers Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch to say, collectively, “we can do better” when it comes to representation and authenticity onscreen.

At the time, Sunita Mani, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Kia Stevens, Ellen Wong and Shakira Barrera — all women of color — wrote and signed the letter in hopes of “creating space for change” when the female-powered wrestling ...

Several cast members on Netflix’s now-cancelled series “Glow” have shared a letter they sent to producers asking for changes to be made ahead of the fourth season, such as amplifying the voices of their characters of color and diversifying the show’s all-white writers room.

Sunita Mani, Ellen Wong, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Shakira Barrera and Kia Stevens wrote to producers in June after the country’s Black Lives Matter protests and discussions of racial inequality sparked their own revealing conversation about the show not living up to its own standards. They wrote on Instagram that the six female cast members of color had “a raw and personal coming-together” about “our own show’s reckoning with race” and sent their concerns to producers, who were receptive to making changes. Together, they concluded that their non-white “Glow” characters were too often relegated to the background while the show’s white characters,...

Sunita Mani, who portrayed Arthie Premkumar on Netflix’s recently canceled “Glow” comedy series, revealed a letter she and five other cast members sent to Netflix and the show’s producers earlier in the year.

Seen in an Instagram post on Monday, the letter — which was co-signed by “Glow” stars Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Shakira Barrera, Kia Stevens, and Ellen Wong — noted that though diversity and inclusion were among the show’s core elements, the persons of color on the show had underwritten storylines and were often used to portray racial stereotyping.

“’Glow’ has been marketed as a diverse ensemble, but for all of us diverse cast members, it has never lived up to these ideals,” Mani said on Instagram. “Since Season 1, the show has planted racial stereotyping into our character’s existence, yet your storylines are relegated to the sidelines in dealing with this conflict or have left us...

Will Glow get a proper ending? The cast of the cancelled Netflix TV show is hoping for some closure, possibly a movie to wrap up the series.

Inspired by a true story, the comedy-drama centers on a group of L.A. women who contribute to a low-rated cable wrestling series in the 1980s. The cast includes Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Sydelle Noel, Jackie Tohn, Britney Young, Kia Stevens, Gayle Rankin, Sunita Mani, Marianna Palka, Kimmy Gatewood, Rebekka Johnson, Kate Nash, Britt Baron, Marc Maron, and Chris Lowell.

“Glow” will not proceed with Season 4 at Netflix as planned, Variety has confirmed.

The Emmy-nominated Netflix comedy series about a troupe of female professional wrestlers had originally been renewed for a fourth and final season, but plans for that season have now been scrapped due to production delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We’ve made the difficult decision not to do a fourth season of ‘Glow’ due to Covid, which makes shooting this physically intimate show with its large ensemble cast especially challenging,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement. “We are so grateful to creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, Jenji Kohan and all the writers, cast and crew for sharing this story about the incredible women of ‘Glow’ with us and the world.”

The show had been renewed for its last season last year. Production had begun on Season 4 earlier this year but was shut down early on due to the pandemic.

Have you listened to the 1938 Smackdown yet? Such a lively conversation about very memorable movies, for better and worse. We've embedded it again below but some of my personal favourite bits are Steven Weber's Jimmy Stewart impression, Joanna Robinson's reaction to the "twist" in Of Human Hearts, Glow's Britney Young talking about having a very expressive face and directors asking you to tone it down, and Claudio's deep hatred of opera voices of the 1930s via The Great Waltz. 

As A Special Bonus Treat

I was the guest star on "And the Runner Up" Podcast this week discussing 1938 as well though our focus on that podcast was the Best Picture battle between Boys Town and You Can't Take It With You.

In the Supporting Actress Smackdown series we take a particular Oscar vintage and explore it with a panel of artists and journalists. This episode goes way back to 1938. 

The Actresses & Characters

In 1938 the Academy was still evolving and the "Best Supporting Actress" category was just three years old. Still, their all time favourite type (the long-suffering wife/mom) was already showing its strength. Other then-popular character types like 'the vamp' (Milja Korjus in The Great Waltz) and ditzy/funny moms (Billie Burke in Merrily We Live! and Spring Byington in You Can't Take It With You) didn't stay in vogue with the Academy for as long. In 1938 we also got an historic first: Fay Bainter was the first actor to be double-nominated, competing in both Lead (White Banners) and Supporting (Jezebel) categories simultaneously, winning the latter. Will our panel agree?

Stars: Taika Waititi, Sam Huntington, Rhea Seehorn, Dan Harmon, Matt Jones, Brian Posehn, Mindy Sterling, Kate Micucci, Britney Young | Written by Christopher Hewitson, Clayton Hewitson, Justin Jones | Directed by Vivieno Caldinelli

I do have to admit that the simple reason for me watching Seven Stages To Achieve Eternal Bliss is because Taiki Waititi stars in it. As is often the case, just because one actor yu like is in a movie (particularly low budget movies) it might not be the best reason to view it. But it’s Taiki Waititi right?!

As you might be expecting Waititi isn’t actually in the movie a whole lot but on to that later. Seven Stages To Achieve Eternal Bliss is a ridiculous comedy about a young couple who move in to a place that is clearly to good to be true. It’s well located, super cheap and is home to ritualistic...

This post contains full spoilers for Glow Season Three, which Netflix released on Friday.

In the closing moments of Glow‘s third season, Britney Young’s Carmen announces plans to leave the show-within-the-show because, she says, “I want to wrestle, and I can’t do that here anymore.”

Carmen’s in a unique position among the Netflix dramedy’s main characters. Almost everyone else fell into wrestling by accident, or for lack of a better option, where Carmen grew up in the wrestling world and loves it for its own sake.

Netflix's Glow is back for a third season set in the glitz and glam of Las Vegas, but fans may still be reeling from the previous season's finale involving the wedding of Sebastian "Bash" Howard (Chris Lowell) and Rhonda "Britannica" Richardson (Kate Nash). The union comes as a surprise to the show's characters since Bash doesn't display romantic feelings for Rhonda until after their marriage - a development that leaves the audience in doubt about his motivations. However, we'd argue the unspoken reason behind Bash and Rhonda's wedding goes far beyond what we see on the screen.

Think back to "Rosalie," the penultimate episode of the second season. Rhonda announces to her fellow wrestlers that she doesn't have a social security number and that she's been working "off the grid," so that she can stay in the Us rather than return to her native England. When her castmates urge...

Through the first pair of seasons on the Netflix show “Glow,” most of the characters have been in search of something. Even as Season 3 transplants the series’ central group of wrestlers to the bright lights of Las Vegas, it sure seems like that’s one thing that won’t be changing any time soon.

The show’s three main characters are all still holding on to a tenuous grasp on cooperation. Ruth (Alison Brie) and Debbie (Betty Gilpin) are navigating their complicated relationship inside and outside the ring.

Sam (Marc Maron) made the trip out to Vegas with the rest of the Glow team, but it seems like he and Ruth haven’t quite gotten over last season’s brush with something a little more than friendship. Ruth’s boyfriend Russell (Victor Quinaz) is also in tow, giving her plenty to juggle when she’s not headlining nightly Vegas shows...

Glow is back in action! Netflix just released the premiere date, new photos, and a teaser for the TV show's third season.

When last “Glow” left off, the titular wrestling team was primed for a long bus ride to a new future in Las Vegas. Now, with the show mere months away from returning, there are some new hints that not only did the whole crew make it, they’re diving right into their new surroundings.

Netflix released the first glimpse of Season 3 with a handful of official photos from this new chapter in everyone’s evolution. After the women of “Glow” broke through on local TV over the span of the show’s first two seasons, they’ve now become an attraction at one of the entertainment capitals of the world. All of that comes with its own special kind of pressure.

As Ruth and Debbie continue to navigate their complicated relationship, it looks like their on-stage personas might have both picked up the same color. It’s Vegas, so it...

In this corner: An August 9 premiere date for Season 3 of Glow, Netflix’s female-wrestling comedy inspired by the 1980s show. Check out the first-look photos from the new season above and below.

Glow tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie), an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan (Betty Gilpin ), a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture-perfect life is not what it seems. And at the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling stardom.

Since it began, the CW’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend has been full of surprises. Somehow, the musical romantic comedy has been able to churn out — via co-creator and star Rachel Bloom and fellow songwriters Adam Schlesinger and Jack Dolgen — two to three clever and catchy song parodies per episode. And somehow, Bloom, co-creator Aline Brosh McKenna and the rest of the creative team have been able to effortlessly dance between ridiculous, explicit, proudly lowbrow comedy (no current show enjoys poop jokes more) and thoughtful and heavy drama about mental illness.

But...

One of the most striking parts of Glow has always been the intense stunt work, and this season the whole team clearly took things to an entirely new level! When I had a chance to talk to Sydelle Noel and Britney Young of the Netflix hit, I had to ask them to share some of their wildest behind-the-scenes stories.

From death-defying flips involving Kate Nash to trying something entirely new, these two (and the rest of the Glow cast) always keep us on the edge of our seats.

The 15th Annual Gold Derby TV Award winners were announced on Thursday, September 6, during a live webcast announcement (watch it above). These prizes were decided by hundreds of Gold Derby users who arguably know more about the television landscape than a lot of TV academy members. And they spread the wealth when picking this year’s recipients. “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” was the biggest winner with four awards, followed by “The Handmaid’s Tale” with three, but the top series prizes actually went to “Game of Thrones” and “Atlanta.”

“Versace” swept the longform categories, claiming Best Limited Series, Best Movie/Mini Actor (Darren Criss), Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actress (Judith Light) and Best Movie/Mini Supporting Actor (Cody Fern). The last two prizes in that field went to “USS Callister (Black Mirror)” (Best TV Movie) and “The Tale” (Best Movie/Mini Actress for Laura Dern).

But act fast: voting closes on Friday night at 11:00pm Pacific/2:00am Eastern. As I’m writing this, the closest races are coming down to just a handful of votes, so every vote counts.

Of course, I’m not going to tell you which races are close and who between. You’ll have to wait until next Thursday to find that out.

Betty Gilpin has garnered her first Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Debbie “Liberty Belle” Eagan on “Glow.” Gilpin’s Best Comedy Supporting Actress bid is among the 10 total nominations earned by the Netflix series in its first season. And for voters’ consideration, Gilpin has submitted the fifth episode of the season, “Debbie Does Something.”

In the episode, Debbie continues to develop her professional wrestling persona, the patriotic Liberty Belle, but is struggling to take the sport seriously. And as her training intensifies she hesitantly lets her parents take care of her infant son.

Hardly to her delight, Debbie is then taken by fellow “Glow” stars Carmen (Britney Young) and Melrose (Jackie Tohn) to a local wrestling show. That’s where Debbie, once the star of the soap opera “Paradise Cove,” is pleasantly surprised to discover the parallels between the sport and soaps. She is especially enamored with hunky wrestling...

In July, Netflix dropped all ten episodes of season two of Glow, the wrestling dramedy starring Alison Brie and Marc Maron. As the credits rolled in the last episode, we already started speculating about a third season, still freshly sweating (glowing?) from the second season's epic action sequences and drama. There wasn't any public information about renewing the show for the weeks following its release, but no news doesn't mean bad news. The second season's open-ended conclusion and cast comments strongly suggested that there would be a third season, and now we finally have confirmation: Glow is officially coming back for season three!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series - which is nominated for 10 Emmys, including best comedy and best supporting actress for Betty Gilpin - is going to enter "a new phase" when it jumps back into the ring for season three. Netflix hasn't shared an exact premiere date,...

Glow season 3, the Netflix ladies wrestling show, starring Allison Brie and Betty Gilpin, will be back on Netflix soon.

Call off the prayer circles! Glow Season 3 has been greenlit by Netflix. The Emmy-nominated series will be back for a Season 3. The announcement was made via the show's official Twitter handle, and the sigh of collective relief could be heard across America.

Glow Season 3 will arrive as another 10-episode frame, which will continue showcasing the world of 1980s syndicated women's professional wrestling, following fictionalized versions of the characters from the real-life wrestling circuit Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling (Glow). Likewise, as teased at the end of last season, the third season will see said ladies make their historically-inspired migration from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, where the original series was taped, at the now-demolished Riviera Hotel and Casino (however Netflix still shot the show in L.A.

On many levels, dressing the characters in “Glow” was a dream job for costume designer Beth Morgan. Not only was the creation of the costumes fun and inventive, she says, but each of the characters on the Netflix series is so well developed that it gave her countless opportunities to individualize them.

“It’s such a great story about women,” says Morgan, who has created looks for TV shows such as “Last Man on Earth” and “Key & Peele.” On both seasons of “Glow” she’s designed costumes for all the show’s characters entirely from scratch, talking at length about each character’s style and outfits with show creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch.

Netflix dropped the second season into streaming June 29. From the start, as the show built and the female grapplers began to form their ragamuffin group, Morgan made sure she was peppering each episode with unique pieces...

As long as Glow goes on, so will the flame - er, highlighter pink neon lighting - of '80s nostalgia. Inspired by an actual women's wrestling show in the '80s, Netflix's dramedy series Glow has received high praise for its powerhouse female cast (plus Marc Maron). In season two, we meet the newest Gorgeous Lady of Wrestling: Yolanda (or Yo Yo), a fearlessly out lesbian Mexican-American stripper and dancer. Portraying her is Shakira Barrera, who joins the likes of Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, and Britney Young with fierce makeup and yes, a perm.

In one of the latest Glow promotions, Yolanda throws a zinger at Alison Brie's character, Ruth, by saying, "Your job is doing G-rated girl-on-girl in a one piece. Ok? You're not far from that life." Ruth replies that she's not a stripper, to which Yolanda shoots back, "Oh, neither am I."

A post shared...

Netflix dropped the first season of a new dramedy in 2017 called Glow, which stands for the "gorgeous ladies of wrestling." Both season one and this year's second installment tells the story of struggling actress Ruth (Alison Brie) auditioning for a mid-1980s all-female answer to Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation shows, and hoping for wrestling stardom - but was it a real TV program?

The answer is yes, it was. The original Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling ran in syndication from 1986 to 1990, notching 104 episodes in the original run. There was also an attempt to revive the show in 2001, but it ultimately failed to get off the ground.

With the Netflix series, all the characters being portrayed are fictional, though a few do bear some resemblance to the original cast. There's a wrestler named Emily Dole who went by the moniker "Mt. Fiji" who bears a passing resemblance to Machu Picchu...

Netflix’s Glow is a television ’80s experience like none other, but the show is partnering with Lyft to fully immerse you in basking neon light of the show.

In honor of the second season of the series (which premieres June 29) based on the cult women’s wrestling show, the popular ride-sharing app is offering rides in Melrose’s (Jackie Tohn) white vintage stretch limo for a limited time. On June 29 and 30, select Lyft riders in Los Angeles and Las Vegas will have the opportunity to party in the limo which will be decked out in ’80s paraphernalia and props from the show.

In the video above, Tohn is joined by her co-stars Britt Baron, Britney Young, Sydelle Noel, and others as they sing the high-energy ’80s anthem “Holding Out For a Hero” via an 8-bit karaoke machine in the confines of the glammed up party limo.

Glow returns for Season 2 this Friday night and features a crack ensemble cast with a standout player — gentle giant Carmen “Machu Picchu” Wade, played by Britney Young. A quiet force of nature, Carmen hails from wrestling royalty and brings actual knowledge to the ring while the other ladies play catch up learning the ropes, literally. An Alaskan who traveled south for school, Young told us in our exclusive interview below how she has the enviable edge of being part of the University of Southern California “Trojan mafia”. This USC film school grad comes with way more than on-screen charisma […]

The post Glow Season 2 exclusive interview: Britney Young is ready to rumble as Carmen appeared first on Monsters and Critics.

Netflix unveiled a brand image spot during Sunday’s Bet Awards telecast that highlights black artists who work for the streaming giant.

The spot dubbed “A Great Day in Hollywood” was inspired by the famed 1958 photograph “A Great Day in Harlem” featuring 57 jazz legends — including Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, and Count Basie — on the stairs of New York brownstone snapped by photographer Art Kane.

The Netflix spot from director Lacey Duke features 47 black writers, showrunners, actors, and producers. The plan for the spot and the image campaign stemmed from Netflix’s Strong Black Lead initiative designed to foster an “ongoing, intentional focus to talk authentically with the black audience.” A photo similar to “Great Day in Harlem” was taken earlier this month by photographer Kwaku Alston to commemorate the gathering.

The debut comes just two days after Netflix was rocked by the abrupt departure of corporate communications chief Jonathan Friedland...

The Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling are back in the Season 2 trailer for Netflix’s “Glow,” when the stakes — and hair — are bigger.

Season 2 sees the female wrestlers in the show-within-a-show become local celebrities, which brings out the weirdo fans. That newfound fame might not last for long, however, as cancellation looms in favor of a men’s wrestling show. While it looks like the group might suffer due to Ruth’s (Allison Brie) refusal to sleep with a man in the biz, they aren’t going down without a fight. “I say we do whatever the hell we want to do,” says Sam (Marc Maron), when the show is threatened. “Set the weirdos free and see what happens.”

Watch the trailer above.

“Glow” stars Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin , Marc Maron, Sydelle Noel, Britney Young, Britt Baron,...

One of the surprise Netflix hits of last summer took hold of audiences at the end of June and didn’t let up the entire season. A year later, the show is looking to do the same thing again.

Following one of the big questions for Ruth (Alison Brie) and Debbie (Betty Gilpin) at the end of Season 1, it looks like things are still dicey in their friendship. But whatever uncertainty there is in the personal relationships, the in-the-ring action looks just as good as it’s been. And on the outskirts, it looks like Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron) is up to his usual irascible ways as the man in charge.

In addition to Brie, Maron, and Gilpin, “Glow” has one of the best ensembles on TV. Season 2 will see the return of Britney Young as Carmen (who wrestles as “Machu Picchu”), Sydelle Noel, Kate Nash, Marianna Palka, Jackie Tohn,...

The first season of “Glow” featured an oddball cast of women who couldn’t tell a german suplex from an powerbomb, but at Netflix’s FYSee event at Raleigh Studios on Wednesday, the cast assured the show’s wrestling aficionados they had much to be excited for in the upcoming second season.

Despite being away for eight months, Alison Brie, who plays the show’s thespian enthusiast Ruth, described returning to the wrestling ring similarly to riding a bike.

“I was a little bit nervous, but as soon as we got back in the ring that muscle memory was there,” Brie told Variety on the red carpet. “It was totally gratifying to remember this skill.”

Sydelle Noel, who plays Cherry Bang, said when cast trained with stunt coordinator Chavo Guerrero Jr., a former WWE wrestler who hails from the legendary Guerrero wrestling family, he was impressed with how much the...
