There’s still nine months to go until the presidential election, and we’ve already reached peak talking points. At least, that was the contention from Bill Maher in his “New Rules” editorial on Friday’s Real Time.
“It gets so dull hearing these talking points,” Maher lamented, running down a list of common complaints about the economy and other issues. “The American dream is dead because Mars bars were $1 and are now $1.25,” he noted as one example of the hyperbole he abhors.
While Maher allowed that he wouldn’t choose President Joe Biden as his partner for the Squid Game, he ran through a list of things that are going well at the moment, from the economy to home ownership to energy output.
Yet, “I know what you hacks on both sides will say before they say it,” he said.
He asked, “Is it really healthy to blame every problem on Joe Biden?...

Right-wing media pundit Ann Coulter has received backlash from both conservatives and liberals for racist remarks she made about former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, two Indian Americans campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination.
Ramaswamy gave an energetic – some say rude – performance at the debate and ended up as most googled person that night.
During Wednesday’s debate, Coulter, referred to the exchange between Haley and Ramaswamy as “Hindu business.”
Nikki and Vivek are involved in some Hindu business, it seems. Not our fight.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 24, 2023
In response, Ramaswamy’s senior advisor and communications director, Tricia McLaughlin, said, “Ann can tweet whatever she wants to. Vivek shares and lives by the same Judeo-Christian values that this nation was founded on.”
Ramaswamy is Hindu while Haley grew up in a Sikh family and converted to Christianity.

Republicans have a certain obligation to act as if everything President Biden does is an assault on American values. His sweeping pardons this week of thousands who were jailed for marijuana possession — and announcement that the drug’s federal classification will be reevaluated — are no exception.
But, perhaps because the nation overwhelmingly believes that cannabis should be legal, and the issue doesn’t stoke the culture war like matters of race, gender, and sexuality, the right-wing outrage machine had a mostly quiet reaction to these executive orders. Indeed, over the past year or so,...

Bill Maher has defended his choice to invite previous controversial guests, including Ann Coulter, onto his long-running talk series.
Over the course of his twenty season self-hosted show, Real Time with Bill Maher, the 66-year-old comedian-turned-political commentator has featured a slew of provocative guests.
In 2019, Maher was booed by audience members after he announced conservative media pundit, Coulter, was going to join him the following week.
“She’s a hard right-winger,” Maher acknowledged in a new interview with Variety.
However, “a lot of the country likes Ann Coulter and listens to her, and she’s not stupid,” he defended.
“I don’t exactly read her books. But I know from when we’ve covered her issues in the past, it’s not like she doesn’t do research.”
Maher continued: “Sometimes people say to me, ‘Is she just saying something to be provocative?’ I don’t think she is. I...

Sarah Paulson earned her eighth Emmy nomination this season for her portrayal of Linda Tripp on FX’s Impeachment: American Crime Story, delivering a nuanced and compelling portrait of the civil servant whose involvement in the Clinton-Lewinsky affair made her a household name after she handed over taped phone calls between herself and Monica Lewinsky (played on the limited series by Beanie Feldstein) to independent counsel Kenneth Starr — conversations in which the latter reveals her sexual affair with President Bill Clinton while she was an intern at the White House.
For showrunner Sarah Burgess, who is also Emmy-nominated for outstanding writing for a limited or anthology series, Tripp was not the villain of the piece, despite her infamous betrayal of her onetime friend and former Pentagon colleague Lewinsky.
“Not that she’s not responsible for her actions, but the slur on Linda at the time,...

Spoiler alert: The below contains details about “The Wilderness,” the final episode of “Impeachment: American Crime Story.”
“Impeachment: American Crime Story” promised a glimpse into a tawdry affair between an intern and a married president but in the end delivered a sharp message about scorned women and the class divide in this country.
Tuesday night’s finale on FX pulled no punches in depicting how the fates of Monica Lewinsky, Paula Jones and Hillary Clinton hinged on their social class, with Linda Tripp, a divorced bureaucrat with an abrasive personality and ridiculed physical appearance, the recipient of the most censure by her peers. After a media flurry surrounding the release of the Starr Report, rife with sordid details about President Bill Clinton (played Clive Owen), the episode ended with cheated-upon Hillary (Edie Falco) running for Senate, Lewinsky (Beanie Feldstein) simultaneously hounded by the media and embraced by fans, Jones (Annaleigh Ashford...

The Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky saga reached its conclusion in Tuesday’s finale of Impeachment: American Crime Story — but no one really got a happy ending.
It’s September 1998, and Monica lands a book deal with the author who co-wrote Princess Diana’s tell-all. (She needs the money, since she still has a lot of legal bills to pay.) Kenneth Starr’s staff scrambles to get the final report ready, and suddenly, it’s being released, with boxes of the report dropped on the steps of Congress.

Sarah Burgess first encountered details of President Bill Clinton’s sex life as a preteen in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, when they were pulled straight out of independent counsel Ken Starr’s report and splashed across the front page of her hometown newspaper. “My mom worked in the Pentagon, and I was waiting for her to drive me to school,” Burgess recalls. “She had a paper there in the front seat, and I remember being shocked.”
Two decades later, the scandal would shock her all over again.

The death of actor and comedian Norm Macdonald has rocked Hollywood on Tuesday. Macdonald, who most famously worked the Weekend Update desk during his tenure on Saturday Night Live in the ’90s, succumbed to cancer after a very private, decade-long battle at the age of 61.
Macdonald’s death was announced to Deadline by his management firm Brillstein Entertainment. The comedian’s longtime producing partner and friend Lori Jo Hoekstra, who was with him at the time of his death this morning, said Macdonald had been battling cancer for nearly a decade but was determined to keep his health struggles private, away from family, friends, and fans.
Remembrances were shared by Seth Rogen, Edgar Wright, Steve Martin, Jim Carrey, Josh Gad, Whitney Cummings, Patton Oswald, and more. Find the social media tributes below.

Initial Nielsen ratings for FX’s Sept. 7 debut of “Impeachment: American Crime Story” dropped significantly from earlier premieres of Ryan Murphy’s “American Crime Story” anthology five and three years ago, respectively.
According to Nielsen Live+Same Day ratings, the “Impeachment” launch drew 916,000 viewers and a rating of 0.24 in the key adults 18-49 demographic.
The series failed to come close to the record-setting numbers achieved by the first season of the show “The People v. O.J. Simpson” in 2016 and the respectable premiere scores of “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” in 2018. The former garnered over 5 million viewers and a rating of 2.0 in the key demo, while the second obtained 2.22 million viewers and a 0.72 rating in the key demo. Both previous debuts topped all other cable telecasts the night they aired, while “Impeachment” was in the fourth slot.

Hulu customers expecting to stream “Impeachment: American Crime Story” today — or anytime soon — will be disappointed: The FX limited series isn’t on the Disney-controlled streaming platform’s on-demand streaming tiers.
Instead, “Impeachment,” a retelling of the notorious Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton saga from more than two decades ago, will be headed to Netflix sometime in 2022. The first episode of the series aired Tuesday night on FX.
Ordinarily, episodes of new FX original series and new seasons of existing series that premiere on FX and Fxx are available the day after on Hulu (starting at 3:01 a.m. Pt) streaming packages with ads and without ads. Hulu just announced a $1-per-month price hike for the two on-demand plans, starting next month.

Tuesday’s premiere begins in January 1998, with Monica (played by Beanie Feldstein) preparing to move from D.C. to New York when she gets a page from her pal Linda Tripp. (Hey, remember pagers?) Linda invites her to lunch at a mall food court, hinting that she may have “a solution to our problem.” As Monica arrives, she doesn’t notice that she’s being followed by men in suits.

It’s been so long since FX’s American Crime Story debuted (Obama was still president!) that it’s easy to forget how much trepidation surrounded that first season, The People v. O.J. Simpson. The O.J. trial was a circus at the time it unfolded. Producer Ryan Murphy’s track record seemed even more fragile in 2016 than it does now, circa the death rattle of Glee and misfires like Scream Queens. And the casting felt odd in so many places: David Schwimmer as Kim Kardashian’s dad? John Travolta...

If you were anywhere near a TV in the ’90s, you probably remember the most sensationalized talking points about President Bill Clinton’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and his subsequent impeachment trial. Like, her blue dress stained with his semen, the footage of her in a black beret hugging the president at his inauguration. And lest we forget, the lie heard around the world: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.” Thankfully, Ryan Murphy’s new FX miniseries “American Crime Story: Impeachment,” isn’t interested in retreading any of that.
Besides, “Saturday Night Live” did a thorough job on a weekly basis throughout the decade.
Instead, “Impeachment” showrunner Sarah Burgess shifts the story to the perspective of Lewinsky (sensitively portrayed by “Booksmart” star Beanie Feldstein), the 24-year-old woman who was the subject of late-night ridicule and sexist public scrutiny amid the meteoric rise of the next Great White Man.

Spoiler Alert: This review contains details of FX’s Impeachment: American Crime Story which debuts on September 7.
Ultimately David Geffen said it best and worst of Bill and Hillary Clinton: “Everybody in politics lies, but they do it with such ease, it’s troubling.”
Debuting on September 7, FX’s Impeachment: American Crime Story is an indictment of those lies, their corresponding hypocrisies and the people often treated as cannon fodder by the ruthlessly ambitious First Couple.
Penned by playwright Sarah Burgess and based on Jeffrey Toobin’s 1999 book A Vast Conspiracy, the latest 10-episode installment of the Acs franchise executive produced by Ryan Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson strives to keep the spotlight away from the Clintons. Instead, the focus is on the trials and tribulations of the once infamous Paula Jones, Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky, with the latter serving as a producer on the pandemic-delayed project.

When a story seems too hyperbolic or prescient to be true, we call it “stranger than fiction.” We marvel that “you couldn’t script” the kind of twists that make up our wildest tales, or else that no one would believe them for embodying every cliché they possibly could. The wisdom then becomes that “seeing is believing”: that the only real way to believe a supposedly unbelievable melodrama is to watch it unfold with your own eyes and feel your skepticism calcify into an understanding. Then, maybe, the story that once seemed unfathomable evolves into something more layered and recognizably real.
Such is the mission of “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” which follows in the footsteps of the FX anthology series’ previous installments (“The People v.

But that’s not the weirdest thing about ‘Jrr Token,’ the crypto that identifies itself as ‘one token that rules them all.’ That honor goes to the message from Billy Boyd, the actor who played Pippin Took in Peter Jackson’s films, promoting the crypto.”

“As if we didn’t have enough scam-ridden cryptocurrency out in the world already, on Friday a new coin based on The Lord of the Rings will enter the market. But that’s not the weirdest thing about ‘Jrr Token,’ the crypto that identifies itself as ‘one token that rules them all.’ That honor goes to the message from Billy Boyd, the actor who played Pippin Took in Peter Jackson’s films, promoting the crypto.”

Cobie Smulders will now play Ann Coulter in “Impeachment: American Crime Story” after Betty Gilpin, who was originally set in the role, exited the cast due to scheduling complications during the pandemic.
Smulders is the newest addition to the cast of this season. This news comes just after FX released the official trailer on Wednesday. Smulders is known for playing Robin in the popular CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” and was most recently seen as Dex Parios in “Stumptown,” which was canceled by ABC in Sept. 2020.
Gilpin shared her regrets about having to leave the role of Coulter on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in June. She called the situation “another Covid disappointment” before performing a comedic impression of the conservative media pundit reciting the children’s rhyme “Milk Milk Lemonade.” Gilpin said the impression took “a year [of] listening to Ann Coulter audiobooks” to perfect.

FX and 20th Television have released the first teaser trailer for “Impeachment: American Crime Story,” premiering on FX on Sept. 7 at 10 p.m.
This third installment of the “American Crime Story” franchise is based on Jeffrey Toobin’s book “A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story of the Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down a President” and will tell the story of President Bill Clinton’s 1998 impeachment and his infamous affair with then-White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clive Owen portrays Clinton, while Beanie Feldstein plays Lewinsky.
The trailer shows only the back of Feldstein’s Lewinsky, as she walks through the White House to meet Clinton with a gift in hand. As she enters the Oval Office, we hear Clinton’s secretary say: “Mr. President, Ms. Lewinsky’s here to see you.” Before Owen as Clinton can turn around in his chair, the trailer fades to black.

In the span of just 13 minutes, the Oscar-shortlisted short documentary Hysterical Girl unpacks a lot.
The film directed by Kate Novack not only elucidates one of Sigmund Freud’s most famous case histories—on a suicidal teenage girl the psychoanalyst called “Dora”—but how Freud’s writing about her continues to impact our culture more than a century later.
“We have one foot in 1900,” Novack tells Deadline, “and we have one foot in 2020.”
The documentary draws a link between the Dora case and more recent examples of the reaction to women who have accused powerful men—Brett Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, Bill Cosby, Harvey Weinstein and others—of sexual misconduct or assault.
Novack observes, “I think it then becomes really hard to argue, ‘Oh, no, that’s the case from the past, Freud isn’t relevant anymore, we’ve moved on.’”
As the film reveals, Dora had been sexually assaulted at age 13 by an adult male,...

Conservative publishing house Regnery has picked up Sen. Josh Hawley’s upcoming book The Tyranny of Big Tech that was dropped by Simon & Schuster after the Jan. 6 siege on the Capitol. The Missouri Republican had repeatedly supported and gave voice to President Donald Trump’s disinformation campaign about vote tampering and election results leading up to the deadly attack.
Hawley, who was photographed giving a clenched fist salute to Capitol protestors shortly before the gathering turned violent, was dropped by Simon & Schuster on Jan. 7, with the publisher citing Hawley’s “role in what became a dangerous threat.”
Today, Regnery president and publisher Thomas Spence called Simon & Schuster’s decision an example of blacklisting. In a column published in The Wall St. Journal, Spence wrote, “We’re proud to publish Mr. Hawley’s book, which his original publisher has made more important than ever. We don’t have to agree with everything—or anything—Mr.

Half a decade ago, the ascendance of the alt-right was about as plausible as the election of Donald Trump, and we all know how that worked out. Like the 2016 election, director Daniel Lombroso’s provocative alt-right portrait “White Noise” isn’t all that surprising, but that doesn’t lessen the terror within. In capturing the racist trifecta of alt-right pundits Mike Cernovich, Laura Southern, and Richard Spencer, the documentary shows how they became emboldened by celebrity stature, and comes so close to letting them run the show it risks trumpeting their cause. Fortunately, it doesn’t take the most discerning bullshit detector to realize that “White Noise” has been engineered to expose a fundamental danger to whatever moral fabric America has left.
However, for the lucky few who somehow avoided any of this movie’s subjects and their small armies of white nationalist devotees, “White Noise” provides a handy primer...

“The greatest failures were the ones who owned mansions, drove over-priced cars, wore luxury jewellery, maintained extremely lucrative yet completely meaningless occupations while hoarding great wealth. What kind of sad insecure creature needs to flaunt such excess clearly signalling opposition to other people’s well-being.”
Whew! Disney, this film is not! Do not screen within 100 yards of the likes of Ann Coulter or Piers Morgan.
Nor should you expect to watch in any UK classroom any time soon. For InterReflections provides a compelling, angry, insightful critique not merely of Capitalism (which gets rather less of a mention than you might expect) but, too, the concepts of structural and systemic enforced inequality and violence.
