While we clearly don’t need any more reasons for the U.S. to be feuding with foreign countries right now, two Monty Python fans recently got into a spat on social media over whether or not Americans “get” the Pythons’ humor. This prompted Eric Idle to step in and settle the “silly” argument once and for all.

As Idle pointed out, while Monty Python’s Flying Circus began in the U.K., it’s been consistently popular in the U.S. ever since it began airing on public television in 1975, which also coincided with the release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Idle also explained that Monty Python’s American popularity originated with a PBS station in Dallas. And, as he confirmed to one follower, it was in fact the father of future stars Owen and Luke Wilson who was responsible for making it happen.

Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Sagafaces another hurdle that may spell trouble for the Western movie franchise. The passion project by the Oscar-winning filmmaker has had a number of setbacks as of late, especially as Costner has found himself self-financing sequels to the 2024 box office bomb. Now, another development in an ongoing financial dispute between New Line Cinema and the company that produced the Horizon films, which began with Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, New Line Cinema has filed an arbitration claim against Horizon Series, the firm founded by Costner to finance the films. As a part of their defense in the co-financing agreement, New Line Cinema alleges that they require repayment from Horizon Series. This is the latest hurdle to an already fractured franchise that sees Chapter 2 still in limbo, while Chapter 3 started production last year without complete financing. While Horizon Chapter 2 is...

Gold Derby is celebrating its 25th anniversary with our "25 in '25" series highlighting the best, worst and weirdest of the 2000s.

The Studio, the incisive new Seth Rogen comedy on Apple TV+, is a deliciously poignant look at the current state of Hollywood. It’s the best Hollywood satire in years, joining the ranks of films like Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, Federico Fellini’s 8½, Joel and Ethan Coen’s Barton Fink, and Robert Altman’s The Player. The new millennium has seen a host of intelligent satires poke fun at almost every aspect of showbiz, from the idiocy of out-of-touch executives to the perils of chasing and maintaining fame, from rampant industry racism and sexism to shifting audience tastes that make production painful.

Here are the 25 best Hollywood-skewing films and TV shows satires of the past 25 years.

We finally have a first look at Elle, the hotly anticipated Legally Blonde prequel series. Reese Witherspoon unveiled the first look at Lexi Minetree as Elle Woods on Instagram today. Witherspoon, who portrayed Woods in two Legally Blonde films, is executive producing the upcoming Prime Video series. Witherspoon also announced that the series is now in production.

Witherspoon announced the start of filming with the photo of a pink-garbed Minetree talking on a very-1990s clear plastic landline telephone, and its caption: "Harvard was hard. High School was harder. Our new series, Elle, is now in production!" Minetree was cast after an extensive search to play the iconic comedy role, spearheaded by Witherspoon herself.

Since his first film, Writer/Director Wes Anderson has become known for his highly visual combination of bright colors with an older aesthetic. His costuming and set design have a very specific signature that makes it easy to identify when watching a Wes Anderson movie. With him currently working on a new film, The Phoenician Scheme, which reunites him with his muse Bill Murray, we take a look back at all his feature-length films and try to figure out where they rank. To note, his recent Netflix shorts, including the Oscar-winning The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar aren’t included.

Gene Hackman, nothing less than a titan of the screen, has left us. He was announced dead at the age of 95, along with his wife Betsy Arakawa and one of their dogs, under strange circumstances that are still being investigated. Hackman left the world with a career full of iconic performances, including two Oscar-winning turns in The French Connection and Unforgiven, as well as nominations for Bonnie and Clyde, I Never Sang For My Father, and Mississippi Burning.

This is only scratching the surface of his legacy; mainstream audiences most likely recognize him as Lex Luthor in the 1978 Superman, as the mix of comedy and menace he brought to the role defined one of the most iconic versions of that character. Hackman actually retired from acting in 2004, citing how the intensity of being on set was having effects on his heart condition. Yet one of his final roles in The Royal Tenenbaums,...

Only three years before his retirement, citing health concerns, late actorGene Hackman, who passed away recently, reminded fans of his unmatchable acting potential by stealing the thunder from an ensemble cast featuring Anjelica Houston, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Bill Murray, and Owen Wilson. In the role of the absentee patriarch Royal O'Reilly Tenenbaum, Hackman brought to the screen both his character's eccentricity and the sincerity that lies at the heart of all emotions evoked by the 2001 Wes Anderson film, The Royal Tenenbaums. While it may be unimaginable now to think of the film without Hackman's portrayal of the callous patriarch, he initially rejected one of his last iconic roles in a career spanning six decades that ended with 2004's Welcome to Mooseport.

It is a testament to the depth and breadth of the career of Gene Hackman that, upon the announcement of his passing at the age of 95, people have come together on social media to praise him, but without a uniform winner among his large filmography. Comic-book fans can continue to marvel at how he set the standard for villainous characters with his take on Lex Luthor in "Superman: The Movie." Fans of modern action movies are no doubt fondly remembering his work in the tense and sweaty thriller "Crimson Tide," among other examples. And the number of dramas he made, introspective or otherwise, are nearly innumerable. You can find so many examples of brilliance in Gene Hackman's list of credits, across so many genres. One of the most common threads throughout his career was his deft ability to create effectively memorable confrontations with his fellow performers, taking what's written on...

Gene Hackman’s film career is shorthand for greatness, from roles like Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation to Clint Eastwood’s Unforgiven. As Rolling Stone’s Rob Sheffield put it, “no film was ever worse off for having Hackman in it.” The actor, born in 1930, had his breakout role in Bonnie and Clyde before appearing in The French Connection, which won him the Best Actor award at the Oscars.

The past couple of weeks have seen many casting announcements for Scream 7. At first, they seemed fairly normal, with people like Isabel May and McKenna Grace fulfilling the teen roles. Makes sense, as they always need a new cast of young victims, as Neve Campbell’s Sydney Prescott can only do so much. Then part of the Core Four was announced, with Mason Gooding and Jasmin Savoy-Brown returning as the Meeks’. Very cool considering the Barrera/Ortega films appeared to be getting excised. But that’s when things started to get weird. Despite rumors of his involvement for months, Patrick Dempsey was not cast as Sydney’s husband, instead Joel McHale ended up taking the role. Unexpected but scheduling conflicts happen and they clearly have a movie to make. But that’s when we got some true head-scratchers. Scott Foley and Matthew Lillard were both announced as having roles in the film.

Oh, boy! The profanity watchdogs of social media will love the title of the upcoming comedy The Shitheads, starring Dave Franco, O’Shea Jackson Jr., and Peter Dinklage.

The Shitheads is a hot-ticket item at next week’s EFM (European Film Market) in Berlin, with multiple studios interested in the upcoming road trip film with a starry ensemble.

According to Deadline‘s exclusive report, The Shitheads “follows cynical degenerate Mark (Franco) and bumbling idealist Davis (Jackson) as they’ve both hit rock bottom. Paired for a job by a shady transport service, their task seems simple: transport Sheridan, a wealthy troubled teen, to rehab. But Sheridan has other plans and what starts as a simple road trip becomes an unhinged odyssey of drug-fueled disasters, near-death experiences,...

If there's one thing that moviegoers are a sucker for when it comes to their big screen viewings, it's an uplifting underdog tale of perseverance and tenacity. For decades, sports dramas have been the bread-and-butter in Hollywood, as audiences can't help but root for these courageous characters as they face adversity and monumental hurdles while trying to achieve their ambitious goals. Luke Wilson and Greg Kinnear joined forces to star in the emotionally-moving 2024 film You Gotta Believe, which brilliantly depicts the Fort Worth Westside All-Stars' remarkable season that landed them at the 2002 Little League World Series.

You Gotta Believe highlights the tremendous efforts the young team put forth to make it to the annual tournament, doing so to honor the ailing father of one of their players, who was undergoing treatment for his terminal cancer as the Llws played out. The inspiring sports drama is based on a powerful true...

Reese Witherspoon’s 2001 Legally Blonde broke more barriers than one. While it started with a classic rom-com girl getting the guy back vibe, it slowly turned into a transformational journey of Witherspoon’s character Elle Woods.

Interestingly, the writers initially had a different ending planned for the movie. While the final version focused on Elle Woods coming into her own, the initial movie wanted to highlight that she did get her boyfriend back.

The test audience, however, wasn’t on board with that. As, according to them, it took away the entire message the movie wanted to showcase. So, the writers came up with the idea to change the narrative to fit the theme better. Hence, the all-time classic was born.

Everybody Loves Raymond is forever. You could turn it on today, watch Ray complain, and it still hits. Timeless. The show dropped on September 13, 1996, and instantly became a classic. For nine years, it had us laughing and crying. With its penetrating humor and relatable chaos, it snagged 15 Emmys before ending in 2005.

The Barone family? Messy, dysfunctional, and always up in each other’s business. That’s why we loved them. Ray dodging his parents, Debra fighting for space, Robert being, well, Robert. It gave us classic moments we’re still quoting.

The Sand Castle, a Lebanese family drama, is currently climbing up the Netflix streaming chart after releasing on the platform earlier this month. The film follows a family stranded on an island, attempting to survive the dangerous landscape and the deterioration of the mind that comes with it. Featuring a talent cast and crew, The Sand Castle quietly made its debut last week, but it has rather quickly swept up audiences with a visually-inspired drama that is as thrilling as it is emotional.

As of this writing, The Sand Castle reached as high as the #2 spot on Netflix's most watched movies during the past few days (via Flix Patrol). It's unclear if it will hold that spot for an extended period of time, or climb even higher, but it seems subscribers are readily flocking to the survival picture. Focused on a family of four stranded on a deserted island, a...

In movies, the underdog’s ultimate triumph serves as an ideal feel-good narrative, and sports dramas have a way of getting to our hearts by making us root for them against all odds. A 2024 sports drama, You Gotta Believe, starring Luke Wilson, fits perfectly into this mold. Despite its divisive reception among critics, the movie has struck a chord with audiences. You Gotta Believe arrived on Netflix in January 2025 and is now sitting pretty at #2 on Netflix’s Top 10 movies list (via Flix Patrol).

You Gotta Believe follows the story of Bobby Ratliff (Wilson), a dedicated assistant coach of the Westside All-Stars, a youth baseball team from Fort Worth, Texas. The team, as you’d expect, isn’t very good at the sport, and it doesn’t help that Ratliff is diagnosed with terminal cancer just as they’re on a path to enter the 2002 Little League World Series.

If nothing else, you can at least make the case that Netflix viewers have a certain kind of diverse taste. While the current situation is pretty dire, with Cameron Diaz's first movie in 11 years dominating the Netflix charts despite terrible reviews, last year we saw the director of "Green Room" top the same charts with the excellent action thriller "Rebel Ridge." Likewise, movies such as Kevin Hart's "Lift" enjoy baffling success on the streamer but so too do stellar sci-fi epics directed by Christopher Nolan, such as when "Interstellar" topped the Netflix charts to start 2025.

In all, then, Netflix is an infinitely fascinating yet confounding landscape -- one that's populated by the kind of streaming slop responsible for watering down the entire concept of moviemaking, yet also capable of exposing global audiences to Academy Award nominated films such as the Spanish drama "Society of the Snow." Now, the...

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 may be released in 2025. Isabelle Fuhrman, who stars in the epic Western franchise as Diamond Kittredge, recently offered her best guess as to when the second installment may hit theaters.

Speaking with Screen Rant to promote her new film Wish You Were Here, Fuhrman noted that while she hadn't been told anything concrete about a release date from New Line Cinema, she believed that Chapter 2 would likely be released sooner rather than later. "I believe it's coming pretty soon. I think they're kind of massaging what's going on with it, but I actually, as of now, haven't heard anything. Actors are usually the last to know in these sorts of things," she explained. "But I was really fortunate that we got to premiere it at Venice, and got to see it with an audience.

Underdog sports movies have slowly died down after they became such a huge sensation in the early 2000s. The reason, of course, is the narrative structure that said films follow. There’s always the hero’s journey somewhere in there while also being about the characters who shape the story for them. With time, the trope of this underdog became redundant, but few films every now and then were able to reconfigure or at least reaffirm why such stories are always important. They are rousing, relatable and inspiring. They give us hope in times when we find ourselves corned by our big ambitions. Ty Roberts’ “You Gotta Believe” is not one of those movies, though.

I mean, it does have all the usual tropes that you find in such films. It stars Luke Wilson and Greg Kinner as the co-coaches and dads of kids who are part of a little league baseball team.

Julia Stiles' directorial debut Wish You Were Here is now playing in theaters and enlists Isabelle Fuhrman as its female protagonist, a familiar face cinephiles might know best from the pair of Orphan films that have been released thus far. Fuhrman can also be spotted in the small but scene-stealing role of Diamond in Kevin Costner's first Horizon installment last year and will continue to shine in the follow-up. MovieWeb recently caught up with Fuhrman amid the release of her new Stiles-helmed romance film, where the acclaimed actress also took time to preview what's to come in Horizon: Chapter 2.

"There's definitely a lot more of [Diamond] in the second film," Fuhrman told us. "I'm really grateful we got to premiere at Venice, and I think they're just, you know, tacking up the horses and figuring out where they want to lead them. So I'm not involved in that in, like,...

Following his exit from Yellowstone, Kevin Costner moved on to a different Western project, which premiered in 2024 but is now available on streaming. Costner starred as John Dutton III in the first four and a half seasons of Taylor Sheridan's popular TV show. However, in between parts 1 and 2 of Yellowstone season 5, news broke that the actor was leaving the series. Given that Costner's John was the face of the neo-Western drama, his exit came as a big surprise to many.

Taylor Sheridan's upcoming Yellowstone spinoffs and prequels include 1923 season 2, The Madison, 6666, 1944, and an untitled Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler sequel series.

In the months following the announcement of Costner's Yellowstone exit, more details regarding why he left emerged. However, many were also concerned with how Sheridan would write John out of the series. The Yellowstone season 5, part 2 premiere revealed John's fate, and the show was never the same.

Dystopian stories have always been an interesting way for entertainment to explore peoples' fears of the future. There are some exceptional TV shows from recent years that feature an eerie dystopian world, including The Handmaid's Tale, Silo, and The Last of Us. There are also some iconic dystopian movies that have shaped the genre, including The Matrix, Mad Max, and The Hunger Games.

There are many ways in which movies and TV shows can create a disturbing, captivating narrative about the future of the world. However, arguably, the most entertaining dystopian stories are ones that focus on realistic scenarios. From stories that portray societal issues taken to the extreme to plausible end-of-world situations, these dystopian movies are some of the most eerily realistic depictions of futuristic events.

Lucy Liu reflects on her experience speaking out against Bill Murray on the set of Charlie's Angels. The original Charlie's Angels was a 1976 TV movie pilot, but was famously remade in 2000. This movie saw the trio of Liu, Cameron Diaz, and Drew Barrymore. Murray played Bosley in the film among a supporting cast that included Sam Rockwell, Kelly Lynch, Tim Curry, Matt LeBlanc, Crispin Glover, Luke Wilson, and LL Cool J. The film got a sequel three years later titled Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, which saw these leads reprise their roles.

Speaking with The Guardian, Liu reflects on confronting Murray on the set of Charlie's Angels. In describing her troublesome relationship with Murray on set, Liu mentioned that her co-star used language with her that was "inexcusable and unacceptable" and she called him out on it. She does not regret this interaction, saying that when she "sense[s] something is not right,...

In recent years, people needed a good reason to go to the theater and spend money and several hours on a film after the rise of the streaming services. 2024 was a guessing game at the box office because many blockbusters failed to bring the numbers they intended, Kevin Costner's Western Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter 1 and Furiosa: A Mad Max Story included.

On paper, the two films had what it took to become a success story at the box office. A star-studded cast, a popular pre-existent IP in Furiosa's case, and generous budgets. Following their unfortunate theatrical run, Horizon: An American Saga Chapter 1 and Furiosa: A Mad Max Story became successful on Netflix following their release on the platform last week, entering the top 10.

Kevin Costner’s anticipated new Western film series kicked off with “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1,” which hit theaters last summer as the first of four parts and is now streaming on Netflix. And the movie boasts a pretty massive ensemble cast of characters.

The “Yellowstone” actor invested $38 million of his own money into the passion project, which charts the United States’ Western expansion pre- and post-Civil War over the course of 15 years.

The first film in the franchise establishes four storylines and sets the stage for the subsequent films. Below, TheWrap created a cheat sheet to help you keep track of each of the characters and their overlapping plot lines throughout this American saga.

“Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2” still doesn’t have a release date.

Quick Links The Nuances Kudrow Brought to 'No Good Deed' Will There Be a 'No Good Deed' Season 2?

Lisa Kudrow is one of these national comedic treasures à la Jennifer Coolidge or Maya Rudolph, whose body of work is so undeniable that any new series or film in which she features immediately jumps to the front of your queue. In fact, that's likely what creator Liz Feldman was banking on when she set about casting No Good Deed, her newest stacked Netflix comedy (her last was the critically acclaimed Dead to Me). In addition to Kudrow, other standouts include co-lead Ray Romano and Linda Cardellini as their neighbor, the deliciously devious Margo.

No Good Deed demanded its actors strike a pretty challenging tone, as the series deals with a pair of parents, Lydia and Paul, who are selling their house after their teenage son was murdered in it.

Kevin Costner's Western film series, Horizon: An American Saga, gets rewarded for saddling up on streaming following its box-office collapse. Chapter 1 of Horizon breaks new ground following its recent Netflix debut, offering some hope before the eventual release of Chapter 2.

Via FlixPatrol, Chapter 1 ranks #10 on Netflix's Top 10 Movies chart, achieving the feat after being added to the streaming service in late 2024. This news comes after the first Horizon installment originally found solace in the streaming world last summer, debuting on Max when New Line Cinema and Costner's Territory Pictures pulled the film from theaters. The film also topped multiple video-on-demand (VOD) charts last July.
