We spoke to actor Michael Beach amid the release of I’ll Be Right There, his new indie film where he plays an old pal of Edie Falco’s leading-lady character. It’s a platonic, endearing rapport between two middle-aged do-gooders, a different dynamic than the secrets and lies in his other newly released project, The Perfect Couple, which just debuted on Netflix. The series also stars the reliably excellent Liev Schreiber, who has a fun little real-life connection to Beach. It may not be the same “endearing” rapport as with Falco, but it’s a fun one.

The affection for K-Pop celebrities in the fashion world keeps growing, with Blackpink’s Jisoo and Stray Kids members Felix and Lee Know capturing attention at Tommy Hilfiger’s New York Fashion Week presentation.

As a devoted fan, I can tell you that Monday Night Raw’s season opener was jam-packed with excitement this year, featuring blockbuster matches and groundbreaking announcements that left me on the edge of my seat. A piece of information dropped about its upcoming stint on the USA Network has me feeling a mix of anticipation and apprehension regarding what awaits when WWE finally transitions to Netflix in 2025.

Before a movie is released to the public, it’s likely to go through all manner of quality control checks. It will face scrutiny from countless executives, producers, and other studio bigwigs, but it’s undeniably the general public’s opinion which is most important. The most common and effective way to gauge these opinions before public release is through market research conducted using test screenings. The concept is simple, if the test audience enjoys the movie, it indicates the general population will follow suit. But as with anything in life, it’s not always that straightforward. There are examples of movies that, despite testing poorly, have gone on to be considered fantastic movies in their own right.
