Matthew McConaughey is one of today’s most unexpected and enduring actors, delighting audiences in a variety of roles, from his outstanding performances to his cherished presence in popular romantic comedies. As he turned 55, he recognized that maintaining his career and mental well-being required a shift. The change he decided on was a transformation in his connection with the entire industry, leading him even to depart Hollywood for Texas.

Occasionally, if you want a task accomplished, you must take charge yourself. And because Hollywood seems to have lost its knack for creating comedies, longtime dry wit performer David Spade and podcast mogul Theo Von have teamed up to breathe life into a neglected genre. Their venture, titled “Busboys“, was penned, produced, and self-funded by the duo comedians, with filming set to begin early next year. Spade recently chatted with Deadline, discussing the project:

In contrast to Spider-Man’s consistent success in filling cinemas, Sony’s attempts to expand the Spider-Man villain universe have generally fallen flat. Although some viewers are reevaluating their opinions of Sony’s previous Spider-Man films starring Andrew Garfield, Sony’s recent live-action Spider-Man projects have been less than inspiring, at best. As the upcoming film in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, Kraven the Hunter, approaches, director J.C.

The second season of the Peacock’s enthralling true-crime comedy-thriller series, “Based on a True Story,” is off to an excellent start. If the show’s new leader has her vision realized, the duo played by Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina could entertain audiences for numerous seasons to come. In a chat with MovieWeb, the series’ showrunner, Annie Weisman, who previously worked on “Physical,” “Desperate Housewives,” and “About a Boy,” openly discussed the potential number of seasons for this hit comedy. She expressed, “At the moment, I don’t see any limits.” She further elaborated:

The debate over the Oscar nominations for “Dune: Part Two” has intensified, with actor Josh Brolin threatening significant repercussions if the film is ignored at next year’s ceremony. Last year, Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” won six Oscars and was nominated for Best Picture of the Year. With high hopes that “Dune: Part Two” will replicate this success at next year’s awards (to be hosted by Conan O’Brien), fans are eagerly anticipating the sequel. However, few seem as invested in its potential recognition as Josh Brolin.
