The wonderful thing about fans is that, as unbiased onlookers, they often recognize patterns in the art they love before the actual artists can. Take, for example, the case of Tom Wambsgans (Matthew Macfadyen) and “Cousin” Greg Hirsch (Nicholas Braun) on HBO’s award-winning dramedy Succession.
While the pair of Roy family outsiders initially tried to make their way into the dynasty’s good graces through its more established members, fans couldn’t help but notice that the two bit players had uncommonly good chemistry together. Thankfully, the show agreed and midway through Succession’s first season, the Tom and Greg pairing become one of the better unwitting comedy duos on television. I don’t know which Succession writer came up with the line “You can’t make a Tomlette without breaking a few Gregs” but I want to shake their hand until we both pass out from exhaustion.

“When They See Us,” Ava DuVernay’s Netflix limited series, received no acknowledgment Monday when the nominees for the 2020 Golden Globe Awards were announced. This was despite the fact that the project, which tells the story of five young African-American men wrongly convicted of the assault of a jogger in Central Park in 1989, was a big player this year at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
Heading into September’s Emmys, “When They See Us” received 16 nominations — the most for any Netflix show and seventh most overall behind “Game of Thrones,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Chernobyl,” “Saturday Night Live,” “Barry,” and “Fosse/Verdon.” Come Emmy night, the miniseries walked away with two awards — one for casting directors Aisha Coley, Billy Hopkins, and Ashley Ingram; and another for lead actor Jharrel Jerome, who played one of the wrongly accused men.

Spider-Man: Far From Home features a good amount of moments that both celebrate and modernize the character’s storied comic book history. There’s Mysterio’s updated mo-cap VFX suit, a new origin for the Elementals that’s heavily tied to drone technology, and The Daily Bugle’s triumphant return as a far-right conspiracy website. However, it’s Tom Holland and Zendaya’s fresh new spin on Peter Parker and Mj’s relationship that has many fans taking to Twitter to celebrate.
When Zendaya was initially added to the cast of 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, many people were confused why such a big star would take on the role of ‘Michelle Jones,’ a character that seemed to be created specifically for the film. After all, Laura Harrier’s Liz Allen was set up to be the romantic lead of Spidey’s first McU solo outing, as the two prior movie series...
