Succession Connor’s Wedding Season 4 Episode 3 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » Succession Connor’s Wedding Season 4 Episode 3 Editor’s Rating 5 stars ***** «Previous Next» « PreviousEpisode NextEpisode » The title Succession has been a tease, if not a running joke, from the very beginning of the series — like Game of Thrones as a devilishly sadistic round of musical chairs.

Summer House Welcome to the Jungle Season 7 Episode 15 Editor’s Rating 3 stars *** «Previous Next « PreviousEpisode Next Episode » Summer House Welcome to the Jungle Season 7 Episode 15 Editor’s Rating 3 stars *** «Previous Next « PreviousEpisode Next Episode » Strangely enough, any reservations I had about Carl and Lindsay’s relationship were assuaged as soon as they returned to the house after dipping out for the past two days.

I feel like instead of a spoiler warning, I should just tell you that, as with most of Morgan Spurlock’s shock-documentaries, you’ll probably walk away from Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! shivering with disgust and wondering how you can go on living in a world as gross and inhumane as ours. Who can forget the real-life horror footage of vermin crawling out of New York City toilets, or scattering by the dozens from a garbage pile, in his last movie, Rats?

There’s no shortage of great comedy podcasts these days, but one of the funniest ones going is Superego, an improvised audio sketch show created by Matt Gourley and Jeremy Carter. The show, which added members Mark McConville and Jeff Crocker early on, has developed a cult following since it began in 2006 and began attracting big-name guests from the comedy world like Paul F. Tompkins, Patton Oswalt, Jason Sudeikis, and Dan Harmon to name a few.

Actress and reality-TV star Tawny Kitaen, who became an icon of the 1980s hair-band era for her appearances in Whitesnake music videos, has died at the age of 59, according to her family. In a post made to Kitaen’s verified Instagram account on May 8, her daughters Wynter and Raine wrote, “We are heartbroken and saddened to announce the death of our mom. We just want to say thank you for all of you, her fans and her friends, for always showing her such support and love.

Keeley Jones’s love life is once more in turmoil. Following her gutting breakup with Roy just prior to the opening of Ted Lasso’s third season, she was focusing on nurturing her PR firm KJPR, but along came venture capitalist and KJPR funder Jack Danvers (Jodi Balfour) to sweep her off her feet. Jack’s enthusiastic approach — lavish dinners, a date in Norway to see a spectacular aurora borealis, a dubiously signed and scandalously personalized first edition of Sense and Sensibility — initially seem like just what Keeley needs.

Degrassi (née Degrassi: The Next Generation) is well into its twelfth season, again airing this summer every weekday, telenovela-style. The show has never shied away from splashy or controversial topics, and it might actually be the most progressive series ever when it comes to issues of sex and sexuality. In fact, there’s nothing Degrassi loves more than issues, and dealing with them, and talking about them, and asking a grown-up for help with them, and exploring all the facets of them, and treating everyone with respect.

When I began writing my novel, The Atmospherians, I didn’t expect to release the book into a world obsessed with stories about cults — nor did I anticipate a global pandemic, but that’s another matter. The Atmospherians is a satire about two best friends who start a cult to reform problematic men, and over the course of writing it, I fell headfirst into everything I could find about cults: who forms them, who joins them, and who leaves them.
