It used to be that Netflix renewed everything. Now, it seems to be the opposite. That is because they cancelled four more shows. Those series are The Crew with Kevin James, Country Comfort with Katharine McPhee and Eddie Cibrian, Mr. Iglesias with Gabriel Iglesias, and Bonding.
I don’t know what comedies have to do to survive on Netflix, but it would be nice to find out. I was really hoping for The Crew to get a second season.
Jamie Foxx thinks he is indestructible, but he is not. That is because Netflix decided to cancel his show Dad Stop Embarrassing Me after just one season.
I had high hopes for the sitcom because it also starred his In Living Color castmate David Alan Grier. However, the latter was not enough to save the forgettable show.
It is so forgettable that I binged it, and I honestly cannot remember anything about it. Except that Foxx was up to his old schtick, and it doesn’t work in 2021.
Kevin Hart and Lil Rel are two of today’s biggest comedians, and together they are starring in the Netflix drama Fatherhood. Since the streaming service wanted to lighten the mood, they asked the two actors to tell each other dad jokes.
How did they do? I think they should hit the road and make that their act. I think Hart was funnier here than in his standup acts. Rel’s standup, on the other hand, makes me laugh a lot.
I have been watching Rel since he was on The Carmichael Show, and I am so happy that he has become the leading man he deserves to be.
Tomorrow, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical In the Heights will go from the stage to the big screen. Then in the fall, he will make his directorial debut with tick, tick…BOOM by the late Jonathan Larson. Larson is best known for Rent, his little play that could.
The musical, which is being released by Netflix, is described as, “On the cusp of his 30th birthday, a promising young theater composer navigates love, friendship, and the pressures of life as an artist in New York City” during the height of the AIDS crisis.
So between this and ITH, you know that one of those movies is going to give Miranda an Oscar. Which one do you think it will be? Or will they both do it?
Do you remember when Lindsay Lohan used to be an actress before she lived as an out-of-control diva? That was a long time ago. Well, the former child star is ready to get back in front of the camera, and Netflix said come to us.
“Lindsay Lohan will star in a new romantic comedy about a newly engaged and spoiled hotel heiress who finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter after getting total amnesia in a skiing accident,” the streaming site tweeted.
According to Variety, this is going to be a holiday movie. However, it won’t be ready this year because it does not start filming until November. Bah humbug.
I can’t wait to see this film because it is so Lohan.
