Exclusive: Carrie Coon (The Gilded Age) is set to appear opposite Lauren Lapkus in Another Happy Day, a postpartum depression comedy marking the feature debut of writer-director Nora Fiffer, which wrapped production last summer in Chicago and will make its world premiere at the Vail Film Festival this Saturday, December 9th.
The film centers on Joanna (Lapkus), a “total nut” who is wearing new motherhood so awkwardly that she remarks candidly “I’m not really a mom, I just have a baby, you know?” This new mom is also an artist who isn’t making any art, and feels truly terrible at taking care of her newborn, as she stumbles through her days. She can’t get her old job back, her old friends have moved on without her, her husband thinks he’s a better mother than she is, she’s terribly sleep deprived, and her baby won’t look at her.

This article contains spoilers for the seventh episode of "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law."
The latest episode of "She-Hulk: Attorney At Law" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe in some significant ways with obscure parts of the comic book canon. When Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) is called upon to visit her client Emil Blonsky (Tim Roth), she encounters a supervillain support group. The reformed "Incredible Hulk" antagonist is now dishing out treatment for fellow villains who want to turn their life around. Instead of an episode where She-Hulk battles some baddies, Walters is forced to reconcile with her own insecurities with the help of a close-knit group of supervillains that are pulled straight from the source material.
"She-Hulk" uses a bevy of lesser-known characters from the Marvel Comics canon to fill out the roster seen in the seventh episode. From Man-Bull to the Porcupine, there is a lot to unpack (and...

Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez infamously made his first feature, the lauded 1992 indie “El Mariachi,” for the paltry sum of just $7,000. Even twenty-five years ago, that was hardly the kind of budget filmmakers dreamed about, but Rodriguez managed to turn limited money into a signature feature that helped launch his career. And now he wants to do the same for other rising stars — with a big twist.
On the upcoming unscripted series “Rebel Without a Crew,” producer Rodriguez will challenge five filmmakers — including Scarlet Moreno, Alejandro Montoya Marin, Bola Ogun, Bonnie-Kathleen Ryan, and Josh Stifter — to make their own films for just $7,000, with zero crew to be found. It’s a wild enough idea, but one that comes with a real kicker: per a new press release, Rodriguez himself will participate in the challenge and also make a new film for just $7,000.
