Less than 24 hours after Anthony Rapp alleged that in 1986, Kevin Spacey forced himself on the Rent star when he was just 14, it has been revealed that House of Cards will be ending its run this season. Your first thought was like mine, was it planned or did this happen due to the allegations? The Hollywood Reporter says that they started working on the final season back in the summer. Therefore, it sounds like it was always in the works. The announcement’s timing was not.
Are you sad that Netflix’s first hit is ending or are you glad it is getting impeached?
Now when it comes to the Family Guy clip I posted from 2005. No word yet from Seth MacFarlane if he knew about Spacey like he knew about Harvey Weinstein and that is why he made a joke about the latter at the Oscars he hosted.
Remember all the controversy over a hidden penis in The Little Mermaid poster? Well looks like that artist got another job, but this time on Netflix’s Maya the Bee. A mom noticed something strange on the screen when she was watching Episode 35 of the cartoon with her kids. That strange thing was a drawing of a penis. Outraged by what she saw, she took to social media to complain, and according to Variety the streaming service pulled the episode. So no more dicks for you and me.
When it comes to the drawing, I never know how people see those things on their own. I have a dirty mind and even I cannot find those hidden royal jewels or should I say gems until someone points it out. Can you?

Lady Gaga might only be Five Foot Two in stature, but her career is a giant. What goes on in her life when she is not in front of her Little Monsters? All will be revealed on September 22nd when her documentary is globally released on Netflix.
The streaming service described it as, “Emmy-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel (Banksy Does New York) pulls back the curtain to introduce the woman behind the performer, the costumes, the glitz and the glamour. Off-stage, in the studio, unplugged and at home, audiences get an unguarded glimpse at Gaga through a series of personal highs and lows and the culmination of a year’s emotional journey. From struggles with relationships to health issues, from finding solace in her inner circle to conquering her insecurities, Gaga: Five Foot Two navigates the divide between life as a superstar and life as an everyday woman.”
You can tell that there is so much more to Mama Monster than meets the eyes, so my eyes are looking forward to seeing what she is like behind the scenes.
Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller comedies are either hit or miss, but for the most part miss. So what happens if you pair the two of them up for a dramedy? Either a movie of theirs that is laugh out loud funny or one so awful people will leave the theaters crying in pain. Soon we will find out the answer to this question when their Netflix movie The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected), which also stars Dustin Hoffman, comes out on Friday the 13th. I think the release date says it all. Don’t you agree? Granted after watching that teaser you know it is going to be their worst films to date and that says a lot after Zoolander 2 and Jack & Jill. Should I go on?
ABC made Shonda Rhimes the uber TV producer that she is now, and now they need her more than she needs them. Sadly, they will not have her for much longer because she has left them for a multi-year deal to produce new series and other projects for Netflix. Her shows Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away with Murder, Scandal (which is ending this season) and the upcoming For the People will continue to air on the alphabet network, all of her new shows will air on Netflix.
This a big hit for ABC, who is having a huge problems in the drama department. Only the Shondaland dramas are doing well for them. What will they do without her? Luckily, they have The Good Doctor, but the rest of their new shows are painfully bad. The Inhumans is the worst pilot of the Fall and Once Upon a Time and Agents of SHIELD needed to end seasons ago. In other words, they are in deep doo doo.
When it comes to Netflix, this is a big get for them since they just lost Rhimes’ former bosses aka Disney. They needed something that would fill that hole and this is a good start.
Poor ABC, they just cannot catch a break these days. And American Idol has not even debuted.
