DOCUMENTARY MINISERIES PREMIERE: This three-part documentary series – co-produced by Netflix and Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Productions, directed by Laurent Bouzereau and based on the nonfiction book by Mark Harris – is an excellent, superbly researched examination of a crucial but little-known chapter in American cinema history. It’s the wartime film history of Hollywood directors John Ford, Frank Capra, John Huston, George Stevens, and William Wyler, all of whom went to

MOVIE PREMIERE: Robert Redford, Rooney Mara, Jason Segel, and Jesse Plemons star in this challenging new film, which posits, and dramatizes,  a thought-provoking hypothetical: What if proof were discovered of an actual afterlife? How would people respond? And, given that information, would they wait for their natural deaths to see for themselves?

This new documentary, presented just before another weekend of NCAA tournament basketball, hones in on a much less celebratory chapter in college basketball history. A Baylor University men’s basketball star, student Patrick Dennehy, was killed in 2003. Teammate Carlton Dotson eventually pled guilty – the only NCAA incident on record in which a student athlete was convicted of murdering a fellow player. Former head coach Dave Bliss, implicated at the time in a Baylor cover-up, is amo

What a week – but I think I’ve typed that for months now. Regardless, this week’s scheduled guests on Bill Maher’s lively public affairs talk and comedy show (these days, more talk than comedy) include political strategist Roger Stone, journalist Jose Antonia Vargas, and roundtable guests former senator Rick Santorum, national security expert Gen.

DOCUMENTARY PREMIERE: Robert Klein owns a significant chunk of bragging rights in the history of premium TV: His 1975 standup comedy special for HBO was the network’s – and, thus, television’s – first unedited, full-length comedy concert. More than 40 years later, Klein gets a proper full-length salute: a documentary profile reflecting his long and influential career, which continues to this day. The title refers to the most famous, and very funny, bit from Klein’s

For years, this sitcom has found new life, and new energy, by altering the dynamics of its characters, and throwing them into new situations – road trips, relationships, romances. Tonight, add another R to that list, with a new round of roommates. In this new episode, Raj, already painting with new colors because he’s newly poor, moves in with Penny and Leonard.

This series returns after a few weeks off – and spends time, this episode, with its parental figures as well as the Riverdale teens. And, surprise, they’re no less twisted…
