Some fictional television characters will be etched in our memories for eternity, and John Munch is undeniably one of them. Portrayed by Richard Belzer, this character was inspired by Jay Landsman, a key figure in David Simon’s 1991 true crime novel “Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets”. Initially introduced in the procedural series “Homicide: Life on the Street”, Munch’s unique blend of kindness and fascination with conspiracy theories set him apart from his hard-nosed, no-nonsense peers. When the show came to an end, Munch was swiftly rescued from the impending demise and given a new lease of life in the vibrant setting of “Law & Order: SVU”. Given his invaluable nature, it seemed only fitting that he wouldn’t go down with the rest.

Clint Eastwood’s upcoming, possibly last film has announced a release date. The story revolves around Justin Kemp (Nicolas Hoult), who serves as a juror in a high-profile murder trial. As he begins to suspect his own guilt in the victim’s death, he finds himself in a moral quandary. He could potentially manipulate the jury’s verdict to either convict or acquit the accused murderer. The film also features an impressive ensemble cast that includes Toni Collette (from “Hereditary”), J.K. Simmons (“Whiplash”), Gabriel Basso (“Hillbilly Elegy”), Zoey Deutch (“Zombieland: Double Tap”), Chris Messina (“Birds of Prey”), Cedric Yarbrough (“Reno 911!”), Amy Aquino (“Bosch”), Leslie Bibb (“Iron Man”), Adrienne C. Moore (“Orange is the New Black”), and Kiefer Sutherland (“24”).

Leading up to the release of “Speak No Evil,” we had a conversation with Beatriz Sequeira, a Blumhouse producer. This upcoming psychological thriller is garnering buzz due to James McAvoy’s exceptional performance. The film hits theaters tomorrow, September 13th. Sequeira, who serves as executive producer on the project, has been juggling other exciting Blumhouse productions like “Wolf Man,” where Christopher Abbott steps into the titular role. Initially, Ryan Gosling was slated for the iconic character, and interestingly enough, Abbott and Gosling have previously starred together in a major film (“First Man”). Sequeira shared her thoughts on the casting change.
