The first trailer for Dicks: The Musical — formerly known as Fucking Identical Twins — just dropped on Thursday, and it’s even more magnificent than we could have imagined. The film stars Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp (The Opposition with Jordan Klepper), who created the original off-Broadway show at the Upright Citizens Brigade in 2014, alongside musical veterans, the hysterically funny Megan Mullally and Nathan Lane, SNL, and Fire Island fave Bowen Yang, and Megan Thee Stallion.
Bette Midler may not be the main character in the new film Sitting in Bars with Cake, but she is definitely the reason why it made our ‘must-see’ list. The two-time Academy Award nominee is too infrequently on our screens …. aside from Hocus Pocus!
This new movie is an open-hearted look at friendship and finding yourself in early adulthood, the film is directed by Trish Sie (Pitch Perfect 3) and inspired by real-life events and the book of the same name by Audrey Shulman, who also wrote the screenplay. Inspired by true events, Sitting in Bars with Cake follows best friends Jane (Yara Shahidi) and Corinne (Odessa A’zion) navigating life in Los Angeles in their twenties. Corinne, the ultimate extrovert, convinces her shy-but-extremely-talented home baker best friend Jane to commit to a year of baking cakes and bringing them to bars, with the goal of meeting people and developing confidence–also known as “cakebarring.” During their year of “cakebarring,” Corinne receives a life-altering diagnosis, and the pair face a challenge unlike anything they’ve experienced before. Sitting in Bars with Cake isn’t only a madcap joyride through some of L.A.’s most colorful watering holes, it’s a moving celebration of female friendship, forging identity, and finding joy in the most unexpected places.
On September 8, Sitting in Bars with Cake will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.
When Dame Helen Mirren played HM Queen she deservedly won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Now she has moved from playing a Monarch to playing a Prime Minister in GOLDA. Thanks to some extremely talented makeup/costume geniuses Mirren is totally physically unrecognizable as the first female Prime Minister of Israel, the formidable Golda Meir. This new historical thriller highlights the Prime Minister’s leadership during the Yom Kippur War in 1973. It’s when during 19 days of the potentially catastrophic conflict, Meir must overcome political pressures at home and abroad — including a rocky relationship with Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber) — to lead her country through the crisis.
Golda opens in theaters Friday, Aug. 25. and there is already talk of Mirren’s award-worthy performance

The encounter “punctures the rhythm of his everyday life” and Adam and Harry get closer. But when Adam is pulled back to his childhood home, it appears his long-dead parents (Emmy Winner Claire Foy and BAFTA WinnerJamie Bell) are both living and look the same age as the day they died 30 years before.
