Adam Decker's The Good Wife Blog: Cast Update 8-5-2022

I’m sorry that this post is late (sort of), but at least be glad that it is complete. I am hoping that I can stop doing things like this to myself as I’m sick and up to late and still don’t know when I’m going to bed. Anyways, enjoy this post.

Julianna Margulies: I don’t see what else she is doing right now at the moment, but hopefully will in future posts. I didn’t find anything relating to her from this update so there’s nothing to include here in this update here in the end right now. She has a recurring role right now on The Morning Show, an Apple TV drama. It might be more of a major role, but I don’t know how much yet.

Josh Charles: He will be in something new called We Own This City. It is nice to see him doing something worth covering in this blog again as we tend to lose a lot of his updates as they just aren’t worth covering anymore. But this one is for now. He will also be in Memory and Mothers’ Instinct.

We Own This City: This is about Freddie Gray. It is a planned miniseries on HBO. It does not have a trailer just yet. But it is an interesting idea for something that we will hopefully see presented in the best way possible to learn more about it. It is currently out now.

Memory: It’s unknown what this is about right now as they aren’t telling us what this is about right now. There is no trailer at this point. Its year of release is 2023. We will find out more about it over time. I just hope that I don’t forget anything about it.

Mothers’ Instinct: This is another one of those typical perfect seeming life falls apart cliché that we see from time to time. It has no release date yet. It also has no trailer at this point yet either. But I might look forward to it in the event that I can see it in the end, if it even gets made at all.

Graham Phillips: We’ll see if we see more of him there in the future or not. Hopefully, he will be doing more than just that in the future. He is set to be in Rumble Through the Dark. This is a project that he is set to co-direct. There are no acting projects of his right now.

Rumble Through the Dark: This has no release date at the moment or trailer. It does sound like it could be interesting. It is about a fighter who wants to repay his debts to save his foster mother’s home. I guess we’ll see what it is like.

Archie Panjabi: This actress did a lot after leaving the show. She is doing Departure, mentioned more in the next part of this blog as usual. She is set to be in the third season of Snowpiercer. Another thing she will be in is Hijack.

Departure: This has been released. It is a Canadian show about the search for victims of a plane crash. It will air on the Global network that I don’t think that I’ll be able to see any time soon. But I’ll keep track of this as much as I’m able to. This is on the Peacock streaming service for those in America available now. A review now follows.

Departure: Show Description- A plane goes missing and people have to figure out what went on. Behind the Scenes- Archie Panjabi from The Good Wife and Blindspot is a character on this show. I think that she is the lead. My Thoughts- It seemed pretty good, although I’m not sure how there will be enough material for the show to last. I also have no idea how much beyond the first episode is available for free. Long Term Prospects- I don’t think that this will last, although it can. It is worth noting that since this is a Canadian show, the ratings here don’t matter. Where to Find- Available to stream on Peacock

Snowpiercer: This is a TNT TV show. I don’t know when it airs. It is about people on a train in a dystopian future. There is a lot of drama and classism. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to see this series or not. But it will remain in the updates as long as Archie remains a part of this show in the future.

Hijack: Almost nothing is yet publically revealed regarding this TV show. It has an unknown release date. It has no trailer. It doesn’t even have a plot yet. It is just marked right now as in development and that’s it. We will hopefully find out more about this later.

Christine Baranski: After rejecting various pilots and other projects in the hopes of getting a spin-off from the Good Wife, she got what was wanted and will be on a Good Wife spin-off. It is available on Paramount+ and some is on DVD. The spin-off is called The Good Fight. She’ll also be in a movie called Bad Moms’ Moms. We’ll see what becomes of that. Another thing she will be in is The Gilded Age. Yet another thing that she will be doing is Praise Petey.

The Good Fight: It will be put on www.cbs.com and be available to watch on Paramount+ to those that want it. It is available now. Expect to see the same review over and over again for whichever people work on this from The Good Wife.

Review: Status- It is available online at Paramount+ and some is on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- It is currently airing its final season right now. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Bad Moms’ Moms: This has no trailer and no release date just yet. It doesn’t have a plot yet outside of being the third installment of the Bad Moms franchise. I imagine this would likely relate to the end of Bad Moms Christmas. Still, I hope that they come up with a better title for it. Is there something wrong with “Bad Grandmas” as a title?

The Gilded Age: This is a TV show. It is out now on HBO. You might have remembered me talk about this in my TV show blog where I put it with the cancelled shows since it was never made. Well, just like with Emerald City, this has found new life again and is set to air on HBO. It is airing there now. There is a teaser for this show now:

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYBuU32B8PI

Thoughts on teaser: I wish that we could find out more about this, but I guess that we will have to wait until something else is known. It actually says more in the description of this video link than anything this teaser mentions. I hope that more can be known in the future with an official trailer and not just this one. If you don’t see one in the next post, then you might not see one at all. But this could be in the blog for a while regardless of if I’m able to see it.

Praise Petey: This is a TV series. The date of release is unknown. I have no idea where this will air. There is no trailer yet. But it does have a plot of a female from New York City who has her life come crashing down until a gift from her father changes things.

Matt Czuchry: All of this time that you’ve seen me doing updates for him in this blog, you only saw me mentioning the reboot of Gilmore Girls. Well, I can finally take that off the update list and report on something new he is finally doing. It is a TV show called The Resident.

The Resident: This is a show that is on hiatus. I’m not sure if there’s a better way of putting it than calling it a medical drama, which is what it would be. The main thing that would make it different is it focusing more on medicine than other shows have, according to one description that I read of it. That description may be wrong upon seeing the trailer, although I’d have to see the show to know for sure. A review of the show now follows.

The Resident: Status- Currently on hiatus. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this for my Good Wife blog and to fulfill my promise to watch a midseason replacement on FOX this season. Description- This is a medical drama that features different doctors, some new, and there are various problems at the hospital at times. It seems a rather complicated plot that is hard to sum up easily. It should make more sense as it goes along. Notable People- This has Matt Czuchry who used to star in The Good Wife and Gilmore girls. Pros- It points out the flaws that can happen in a hospital, but does it in a good way. It can seem more humanizing than most medical dramas that I’ve seen in the past. Cons- It seems similar to House. The lead can be strange and arrogant. Note to Parents- It airs with a content adversary warning in some episodes so that’s all you really need to know about it. Recommendation- I’d say that this is good to stay into if you want to. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch this until the very end. Whether I’ll be able to see every episode or not remains to be seen. Prediction- It is hard to tell for sure this early, but I think that it might last a bit for now. Reception: mixed. Grade: B.

Makenzie Vega: She has been working since The Good Wife ended. Sadly, she hasn’t been doing that much. I haven’t been able to find something that I could review just yet. I hope that she ends up doing something good soon. Otherwise, I guess this will be one less person to worry about. She will be in something called Growing up Gorman.

Growing up Gorman- The name of this movie is based on a character from the movie. It has no release date or trailer just yet. The person in this wants to win a battle of the bands competition. We’ll see if it avoids being cliché or not.

Alan Cumming: Here’s an actor who’s known for starring in Broadway plays and productions. Perhaps you have seen him on the Tony Awards that you always watch because you can’t afford to see Broadway any other way. It looks like he has a lot of future projects in the works. He is in Bright in a Hollow Sky. There’s also a new project called Run. He’s in Marlowe and Solar. And, since he can’t possibly be doing too much at once, he will also be in My Father’s Dragon. My father didn’t have a dragon. He’s lying to me. I’m going to send him a nasty letter saying, “Where’s my father’s dragon? Why didn’t he have a dragon?” Do you think that Alan’s prepared to deal with that?

Bright in a Hollow Sky: This is a movie about people trying to find what they have lost by going on a road trip to do so. It doesn’t have a release date or trailer just yet. Hopefully it can do better than other projects where nothing seems to come from it.

Run: This has no release date, but it does have a trailer. The plot is about a man who seems to have lost something important and will try to live life in a different way from this point forward. I’m guessing that running in some way will factor into the plot. It might be out, but I can’t find much information about it right now. I don’t think that it is yet.

Trailer Link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8900306/videoplayer/vi3245521689?ref_=tt_ov_vi

Thoughts on trailer: This looks very good and interesting, although I’m not sure that I can make anything out of the plot just yet. I’ll have to see what becomes of it in the future. Whatever it is, I hope to see it and want to watch it, not just out of an obligation to doing this blog in the future.

Marlowe: This is named after the last name of the character in the movie that this is. There is no release date or trailer for this yet. It is about a PI tasked to find a woman’s ex lover and, as usual, there is a much bigger case that winds up going on as a result.

Solar: This is a podcast series that’s available now. I have no idea what this is about as there isn’t a plot of this available yet on imdb. I don’t know what else there is to say about this at the moment. I’m unsure of how to handle podcasts in this blog and am unsure if I want to spend time listening to one.

My Father’s Dragon: This is set for release sometime in 2022. It is about a person who is looking for a dragon and finds much more than expected. Well, that seems like kind of an obvious plot, but I guess the movie might be good. They typically are, even if they aren’t that original in some terms of plot. There’s no trailer for this yet.

Zach Grenier: Well, he’s finally doing things, such as being in a movie called The Vizitant. He will be a fourth season regular on The Good Fight. We’ll see what else he does over the course of time while still working. There’s nothing else worth mentioning now.

The Vizitant: This has an unknown release date. Apparently, this movie is about a defeated politician who is given the power to change the world by a mysterious entity. Perhaps the Monitor is giving him the book of destiny. Whatever will happen, I hope to find out more when there is a trailer for this. I hope for a release date soon as well.

Review: Status- It is available online only at Paramount+. I’ll let you know if it is released on DVD. Why I’ve seen it- If there is something in this blog that I can review, I will. Description- Diane continues her adventures starting from scratch after losing her retirement money and starting at a new firm. Pros- The show is about the same level of quality that you would expect from The Good Wife. Cons- Apparently, there is going to be a lot of nudity in it. Like the original, this show is a bit too confusing. Note to Parents- Your kids would have to pay to watch this online so if they are seeing it, then you hopefully were the ones who let that happen, although I’d lean towards not letting really young people watch this. Recommendation- Since this is only available online for money, I would actually steer clear of this unless you really like the show. I like it, but not enough to shell out too much money for it. Prediction- It is currently airing its final season right now. Reception: critically acclaimed. Grade: B.

Matthew Goode: He has been doing a lot of projects since leaving The Good Wife. I might as well get to mentioning all of them. A thing he appears to be doing is Medieval. He will also be in The Offer. And that is all for now since most of his projects are out by now.

Medieval: This is a movie with a release year of 2022. I don’t know if this is based on a true story or not. But it seems like it is about two people and how they seek to win against an army of people. They probably have people helping them with it. I’ll have to see. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjgi_Gn5Y_k

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it could be interesting and hopefully I will be able to see it sooner rather than later. I can’t gather much from the plot, but it doesn’t look like I have to as I’m already wanting to see more of this.

The Offer: This is available now on Paramount+. It is about the making of The Godfather. I haven’t seen The Godfather yet. Maybe I will some day. I wonder if one could enjoy this while not having seen The Godfather. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03Z9H9mG-SI

Thoughts on trailer: This seems far too vague a trailer for this to look any good at all. This might be good, but the trailer clearly isn’t. I won’t know what else to say about this except that I hope it can do justice to the iconic movie and actually be interesting. This show does not look that interesting based on the trailer. But while I think that the trailer is bad, I’m just not sure if the show would be.

Cush Jumbo: She will be appearing in a TV show called The Beast Must Die. I can’t tell much about this right now. But I will talk more about this in the next paragraph since that is what I do in this blog now. Another thing that she’s doing now is Balestra. She will also be appearing in Criminal Record. Is that really a good career choice? Choosing to do and have criminal record in your past.

The Beast Must Die: I have no idea what it is about right now, but hopefully will be able be able to see it, but it might not be on American television. This is available now on British television. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAb0VPSKq_w

Thoughts on trailer: The trailer seems vague in some ways. It could be interesting, but just seems generic in some ways. What is there even to make sense of this? What all could I say? I’m just not sure that I care right now.

Balestra: It is hard to understand some of the plot. It has an unknown release date. It has no trailer at the moment. From what I understand, a disgraced athlete tries to do some new thing that allows her to extend her training hours but causes reality to blur.

Criminal Record: This is set for release in 2023. It will be on Apple TV+. It relates to two people fighting over a murder conviction with different factors like race involved in the polarized nation of Britain, if that is still what the country is called.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan: He is now in the cast of The Walking Dead. He’ll also be in The Integrity of Joseph Chambers. I wonder what else he might do over time. He’s currently also in a project called Fall. Another thing he’s doing is Isle of the Dead.

The Walking Dead: This is a popular gory cable zombie drama about humans trying to save themselves from what is known as The Walking Dead, or walkers, zombies who are often the bad guys. But who else are causing problems?

Review: Status- Currently on AMC at times. Why I’ve seen it- I borrowed this on DVD from a friend in order to review it for this blog. Noteworthiness- This is adapted from comic books of the same name. Description- A man wakes up from a coma to find that he now lives in a world with zombies, his old world gone. Notable People- Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who was in The Good Wife, is now on this show. Pros- It has a good premise that works for the most part. Cons- It can be too slow moving and seem longer than it needs to be. Note to Parents- I wouldn’t let your kids watch this. Teens might be safe, but I might steer clear of that too. Recommendation- Maybe this is worth watching if you like this sort of show. I’d put it at a toss-up myself as to whether or not to watch. My Viewing Habits- I plan to watch the whole first season on DVD. Whether or not I’ll see any more after that is unknown. Prediction- This is currently airing its final season. Reception: largely positive. Grade: B-.

The Integrity of Joseph Chambers: This is out now. I have no idea what the plot would relate to or if it relates to a true story like I think that it might, but just as easily might not. I’ll wait to see what this might be about. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rv699tusufY

Thoughts on trailer: Well, I cannot for the lick of me make sense of this. There is a hunter and maybe some sort of trouble that can’t be revealed on screen without it being under age restriction perhaps? I don’t think that I’ll be upset that I probably won’t be able to see this at all.

Fall: This project has very little known about it thus far. I don’t know yet what type of project this is about or even what it is about. Its release date is August 12, 2022. Maybe I’ll find out more about this over time. Maybe I won’t. There is a trailer of this that I’ll talk about in the next post. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa5MXOMN1lM

Thoughts on trailer: I wish that I could like a movie like this. And maybe I could if I’m able to see this. But it just looks very dumb that they pushed themselves this far and should not have put themselves into this situation in the first place. But this could be a good survival film and I guess we’ll see if one of the women doesn’t survive or not.

Isle of the Dead: This is a spin-off of The Walking Dead focusing on Negan and other characters. It is set for release in 2023. It is said to only be a miniseries so we’ll see if that winds up being the case and won’t last long as a result.

Robert King: Here is where we switch to writing credits. He and his wife are helping with The Good Fight. He’s also doing a TV show called Evil. He’s working on another TV show called Girls with Guns. He’s also doing Would I Lie to You? Another thing that he is doing right now is Your Honor. And he’s doing Happy Face. That’s a lot of projects.

Evil: This looks like it could be interesting. People investigate the supernatural in this show in the typical one woman, two men set up. This is currently streaming its second season now. We’ll see how long it might last beyond its current known run.

Evil: Status- Currently streaming its third season. Why I’ve seen it- I watched this to review it for a blog. Description- A woman and others have to deal with the idea of what makes one evil and if there are supernatural abilities behind it or not. Notable People- This is created by Robert and Michelle King who also did The Good Wife, The Good Fight, and BrainDead. It stars Michael Emerson from Person of Interest, Lost, and Arrow. Pros- It has a lot to offer in terms of understanding the human mind. Cons- It might be too mysterious at some points in the long term. I just hope they decide whether or not to include supernatural elements for sure at some point. Note to Parents- This is probably not something that you want your kids watching. Recommendation- I’d say that this is pretty good to watch. My Viewing Habits- I had planned to see as much of this as I can and have watched since the first episode aired. With it now on streaming, I doubt that I’ll be able to watch any new episodes of this again. Prediction- I might last if the good streaming numbers keep up. Otherwise, it will be toast pretty soon after that. Reception: positive. Grade: B-.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on Paramount+. It is unknown when this is coming out. I could not find out more information upon further research as I doubt google would be helpful with this.

Would I Lie to You?: In this show, people are told stories and they have to tell reality and fiction apart. This is currently on the CW. It airs at 8:30/7:30 Central on Saturdays. It airs another episode right after that and reruns on Sundays as well. Enjoy this review of it:

Would I Lie to You?: Status- Currently on the CW at 8:30/7:30 Central on Saturdays. It is on again right after that. Why I’ve seen it- I reviewed it for another blog of mine and also watch a new CW show at least once. Noteworthiness- This is an adaptation of a British show of the same name. Description- Two teams of three discuss various stories and they have to figure out whether or not it is a lie or the truth. Notable People- It is produced by Robert and Michelle King who have been showrunners of The Good Wife, The Good Fight, BrainDead, and Evil, among other things. Pros- This seems good enough to keep up with at times. It is an acceptable form of entertainment. It is funny at times. Cons- I know that there are problems such as this not being as funny as it could be. The most notable problem is that the panel can be won before the first commercial break, making the rest of the show rather worthless. Note to Parents- There might be some issues here and there, but this is a pretty acceptable show for kids to watch. Recommendation- Take it or leave it. It might work better if you don’t have any plans at that time on that day of the week. But you aren’t missing much if you don’t see it at all. My Viewing Habits- I may watch it some here and there, but won’t care too much if I don’t see it much, if at all. Prediction- This might last. On a network like this, it could easily keep airing over and over again. I, personally, don’t think that it will last, but it just as easily could so I won’t know for sure. I think that it is more likely to fail than to last. Reception: mixed. Grade: C.

Your Honor: I forget if I mentioned this show before but got confused by it. But this is a show that is currently airing somewhere, even though it is on hiatus right now. It is a courtroom drama that is renewed for season 2.

Happy Face: This is a TV show. I have no idea what network this would air on. It has an unknown airdate right now. In this show, we learn that a child discovers that her father is a serial killer. This could be interesting, but it better avoid being anything like what Prodigal Son wound up being like.

Michelle King: Since she is married to the previous person, it would appear that she would probably have the same projects in the works as her husband. This section may be redundant since any similar projects that these people have would be the same thing and thus have the same information. She is working on The Good Fight. She’s also doing Evil and Girls with Guns. She will also be involved with Would I Lie to You? She’s doing Your Honor as well. Yet another thing she’s doing is Happy Face.

Girls with Guns: Not much is known about this right now. I don’t even see a plot of this mentioned right now. What I do know is that it might air on Paramount+. It is unknown when this is coming out. This will likely be about girls with guns. But more of a plot beyond that is unknown.

Would I Lie to You?: In this show, people are told stories and they have to tell reality and fiction apart. This is currently on the CW. It airs at 8:30/7:30 Central on Saturdays. That’s not the only time that it airs so enjoy what you can of it. Enjoy this review of it:

Erica Tazel: This former Good Fight actress has projects in the works. I look forward to seeing what I can of her work in the future. She is in The Devil You Know. She will also be in Heart of a Lion. And the wings of a bat/ because it’s midnight!

The Devil You Know: In this movie, a man has to try to make things right for himself after spiraling one way and not going back to his dark ways of the past or something like that. It is on DVD now. There is a trailer for this now:

Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eb_ZpN98pg8

Thoughts on trailer: I can’t really ever like trailers like this that are too vague while at the same time also trying to be grandiose. The movie might be good, but I can’t really make much of an original plot out of this and can only hope that the film is better.

Heart of a Lion: This is set for release on March 31, 2023. It is about George Foreman. That is all that I really know about it at this moment. There’s nothing else really to say and talk about. I just want this paragraph to be a certain length.

Poppy Montgomery: I don’t know if she acts less now than she used to. We’ll see what she does. She does not have any projects in the works as of this post. Maybe this will change by a future post. For now, there is nothing else new for this part.

Jaimie Alexander: After not being in the third Thor movie, she will be returning for the fourth one, Thor: Love and Thunder. It’s about time that I can finally include parts of the MCU in this or any of my blogs. You might see me review every MCU film now at some point, or at least the ones relevant to Thor which will include the first three Thor movies and more than likely the first four Avengers movies. Another thing that she will be in is The Minute You Wake up Dead.

Thor: Love and Thunder: This is in theaters now. There isn’t much of a plot known to this yet. I have no idea what the conflict would be based on the title. But I look forward to the film and will now have to get a bunch of other MCU films on DVD and finally get caught up on what I haven’t seen of the franchise at some point. There is a trailer for this now:

Teaser link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgB1wUcmbbw

Thoughts on trailer: I would like to know more about this than this teaser gives, so I guess I’ll have to wait until the full fledged trailer is out sometime. From what I can understand and make sense of the trailer, here are some key details: 1- Thor is retired, 2- The Guardians of the Galaxy are in this but how much, for how long, and what all is just to set up their next movie remains unknown, 3- Thor has a new love interest? What? 4- It seems that Jane is set to be the new Thor as expected to anyone who knew anything about this so far. And that’s about it for now.

The Minute You Wake up Dead: This doesn’t have a trailer yet. It is expected for release sometime in 2022. This is about a person who gets involved in scams that lead to murders. And that’s all that I can know about it at the moment.

Enrique Murciano: He is doing The Night Agent. Maybe there will be more in the future. He is also set to be in Miranda’s Victim. That’s about it for now at this point in time. We’ll see what else he will do in the future besides that.

The Night Agent: This is a planned Netflix series. It is set for release in 2022. It does have a plot: a person low on the FBI totem pole suddenly is thrust into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the White House. That’s a better way of phrasing it than the grammatically incorrect way it is currently described on imdb, which might be a sentence fragment in the end.

Miranda’s Victim: This is the true story of the crime that lead to Miranda rights from the side of the person he kidnapped and raped before successfully gaslighting the country into making us think that he was the victim. This has no release date yet or trailer.

Hugh Bonneville: This actor from Downton Abbey will be the first of any people from that show to be covered in this blog here. (That show is on my second list of things to watch right now, but I have not yet been able to watch it.) Anyways, he has lots of things in the works right now. A thing that he’s doing is Bernie’s Gift. He’ll also be in The Amazing Maurice. Another thing he is set to be in is Downton Abbey: A New Era. And he’ll also be in I Came By. Something else he will be in is Banking on Mr. Toad. He will be in Bank of Dave. Another thing he’ll be in is The Gold.

Bernie’s Gift: This has no release date or trailer right now. The plot sounds complicated from what I understand of it online. This relates to a man recruiting two people in order to go on an adventure of sorts relating to food and other things.

The Amazing Maurice: This is set for release on January 6, 2023. This seems to be a take on the pied piper story from a previously unseen cat’s perspective. I hope that they can improve on this fucked up story that kids are told for no good reason. There is not yet a trailer for this as it is still filming at the moment of the writing of this paragraph.

Downton Abbey: A New Era: This is on DVD now. It is a follow up movie to the first movie set after the TV series in general. I wouldn’t know for sure what all this might cover, but I look forward to seeing it.

Review: Movie Name- Downton Abbey: A New Era. Genre: historical fiction. Rating- PG. Noteworthiness- This is the second movie in the franchise which started as a TV show in the UK. Description- A movie is being filmed where the abbey is while others who live there deal with potential family revelations in France. The Downton Abbey Alumni in it- Hugh Bonneville reprises his role from the show. Pros- The storyline works as it is simple enough, going back and forth between the two main storylines of the film. It also paints a good picture of the era, such as the end of silent films. Cons- The switching back and forth between the two main stories can be a bit confusing at times, as are any other subplots in here. Some of the characters are notably absent the entire film without much of a mention as to where they are or why. Note to Parents- Possible infidelity is brought up. Death is focused on at one point as well. Recommendation- This movie is funny and works even without seeing any of the show. I think that it is worth watching at some point. IMDB Ranking: 7.7. My Grade: B.

I Came By: This has no trailer yet. It is set for release on August 31, 2022. The plot is about someone who does graffiti that discovers a secret that could harm him and others. It does not sound too original, but could be interesting. I might never know.

Banking on Mr. Toad: This doesn’t have a trailer yet. It is set to be out sometime in 2022. This seems like Finding Neverland, but with a different work of fiction: Wind in the Willows. We will learn how this book came to be while delving into the personal life of the writer of it and his family.

Bank of Dave: This has no known plot yet that is revealed. It has an unknown release date and also no trailer at the time. There is a character named Dave in this so this probably will be about him and a bank relating to him.

The Gold: This has no release date yet. In this, we learn about Britain’s investigations into criminal activity. There is no trailer yet and not much else to say about this. Will this be like a documentary like Dateline or will it be a scripted series based on actual events? That is the one thing that I’d like to know right now regarding this show.

Sullivan Stapleton: He is set to do After the Verdict. That’s all that I can see of his for the moment. I do not know what else he might do over time. But I have to wait and see what all else he will do at the moment once and as it happens.

After the Verdict: This is set to air sometime in 2022. It is about four people and their lives relating to a high profile murder trial. I don’t yet know where this is airing or streaming, but I do plan to watch if I can as it could be interesting.

Hank Steinberg: He has no projects known in the works right now. I hope to see more from him in the future. We’ll see if more happens or not. He might appear at some point in time in something, but this has not happened yet.

Jessica Brown Findlay: She’s in a lot of projects. One is called Whatever After. A second is Life after Life. A third thing is The Hanging Sun. A fourth thing is Flatshare. And that’s all for now. We’ll see what, if anything, becomes of all of them.

Whatever After: This has no release date yet. It also has no plot. It is a miniseries of some sort. What else is there for me to say about it? I’m unsure. Hopefully more about this will be known over time. One can only hope that it will.

The Hanging Sun: This has no release date at the moment. In it, a hitman who is on the run seeks refuge in a village, but there are other things going on as well. I don’t want to just copy and paste what imbd says as I don’t think that I can.

Life after Life: Based on a book, this TV show is about a woman who keeps dying and being reborn over and over again, living out different lives in the end. It is out now. It airs on BBC. There is a trailer for this. There’s not much else to talk about this.

Thoughts on trailer: This looks like it could be interesting. It doesn’t look much like anything stand out and you can’t really tell that there is much different about it. But I do think that you can tell that it might be worth watching in the end.

Flatshare: This has no plot mentioned yet on imdb. If I had to guess, it would involve there being something like a place where people live and some story there. But would it be a drama, comedy, or something else entirely? It has no release date or trailer yet. This is set to air on Paramount+ at least in the UK. There isn’t much else to mention about it.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste: She has acted a lot ever since Without a Trace ended. I’ll see through time what else she appears in. She will be in Rumble Through the Dark. She’ll also be in The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies.

Rumble Through the Dark: I can’t make as much sense out of the plot even after reading it on imbd as it seems to relate to someone trying to save the home of his foster mother and perhaps his family too. It has no release date at this moment.

The Following Events are Based on a Pack of Lies: This has no release date or trailer yet. It is about Trump’s claims regarding the 2020 election that still has yet to be proven over a year later. I’m sorry. It’s actually about a man who is trying to destroy two different women who are different from each other. That’s not the best way of phrasing it though.
