‘Dark’ Season 2 Officially Ordered by Netflix

‘Dark’ Season 2 Officially Ordered by Netflix
Dark, the eerie, stylish time-travel mystery show from Germany, just got the go-ahead for season 2 on Netflix. The series was marketed as a kind of German Stranger Things, and while it certainly shares some connections with that other Netflix hit, Dark is a bit more cerebral and a lot less nostalgic. Overall, it’s a creep-tastic show […]

Producer Gary Goddard Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Multiple Former Child Actors

Producer Gary Goddard Accused of Sexual Misconduct by Multiple Former Child Actors
More former child actors have come forward accusing producer Gary Goddard of sexual misconduct.

Following “ER” alum Anthony Edwards’ allegation that Goddard sexually assaulted him when he was 12, seven others from his Santa Barbara theater group are accusing their one-time mentor of molesting or attempting to molest them in the 1970s.

In a Los Angeles Times expose, the former actors detail Goddard’s behavior, which allegedly ranged from fondling to sexual abuse during the troupe’s overnight stays during a statewide tour.

Goddard — a writer, director, producer, and the founder entertainment design company the Goddard Group — has, through a spokesman, “unequivocally” denied the allegations in the past. He took a leave from his own company in late November in the wake of the claims.

Goddard was accused in 2014 of sexually abusing Michael Egan III when he was 16. The suit was later dismissed.

His publicist, Sam Singer, “categorically denied” the allegations in the Times Story, calling them “full

The Top Uses of Heart’s “Alone” in Television Shows

Heart has always been a rock band that has been influential to the music scene. Not even getting into the strides that they have made for gender equality in the rock and roll genre, some of their songs were simply too good to ignore. One of the songs that wasn’t all about the bluesy and hard rock that made them famous was their hit track “Alone”. This has been featured in both movies and television throughout the years, but likely not as much as some of their other (and consequently more famous) offerings. Here are some great examples of their

Riverdale: Which Former Co-Star Would Skeet Ulrich Cast as Jughead's Mom?
Skeet Ulrich’s idea for who should play his Riverdale ex is so good, it’s scary.

“I mean, God, I think Neve [Campbell] would be really interesting,” Ulrich, who plays Jughead’s dad F.P. Jones on The CW’s teen drama, told TVLine when asked who he’d cast as Jughead’s still-unseen mother. Campbell, of course, starred alongside Ulrich in the 1996 horror classic Scream, which launched both of their movie careers. “I know she’s busy doing some films and stuff like that, so I don’t know if that’s a possibility,” Ulrich added. “But yeah, I

What is the “Twitter Purge” and Are You in Danger?

Twitter has something of a reputation for being rather lax when it comes to protecting its users from being harassed and otherwise abused by other users. However, it seems to be interested in changing this reputation, as shown by its introduction of new rules in November. Said rules can be summed up as Twitter going after users who are engaging in abusive behavior, with a particular emphasis on hate imagery, threats of violence, and the glorification of acts of violence. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that Twitter has stated its intent to take the users’ association with groups that

The Best Breakthrough TV Performances of 2017

For others, it means this actor has broken through creatively; that they’ve reached a new level of professional accomplishment; that they’re worth taking note of, no matter what they’re in, from this point forward because the collective artistic culture witnessed the amazing things they did in 2017.

Gilbert Gottfried On Dirty Jokes, A Surprise Evolution To Family Man, and His Problem With Hitler — Turn It On Podcast
You don’t know Gilbert Gottfried. You think you do, but you don’t. He’s been called the ‘comic’s comic,” and has been a staple of TV and film for years. His signature voice and crinked eyes have been imitated by thousands. But the new documentary “Gilbert, A Gilbert Gottfried Story” shows an entirely different side of the comedian who’s been entertaining audiences for four decades.

“It was uncomfortable from beginning to end,” cracked Gottfried, who spoke to IndieWire’s Turn It On podcast (along with filmmaker Neil Berkeley) about making the documentary, fame, and the state of comedy. Listen below!

Berkeley’s “Gilbert,” which premieres Dec. 29 on Hulu, came out of a desire by Gilbert’s wife Dara to showcase an unexpected side to the iconic comedian. The film peeks behind the larger-than-life persona at a more personal story about growing up in Brooklyn and becoming
