Few revivals are necessary. “Justified: City Primeval,” the new eight-episode limited series that welcomes back U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Best Drama Actor nominee Timothy Olyphant), is probably not one of them. After all, original recipe “Justified” ended on the highest of high notes. In fact, one might even dare to say it featured one of the best series finales of all time. And yet, there is no denying how great Olyphant is in the role or how much we’ve missed TV’s coolest lawman. So why bother?
The new episodes (two of which are now streaming on Hulu after debuting on FX) are based on yet another Elmore Leonard property, the crime novel “City Primeval: High Noon in Detroit.” The show finds Raylan transported from Miami, where he moved following the events of the original series, to Detroit, where he encounters a new kind of villain, the wild...

We must admit this season of The Afterparty is much less engaging than the first one, which was quicker, more fun, and even with the repetitive episodes (considering they’re all telling the same story in their own versions), not as tedious. Travis’ version is too different from Grace’s or Aniq’s. While Travis’ episode is charming visually, the humor feels a little more plastered on than natural. Admittedly, I had to stop a few times because I was getting rather distracted. But we have some new clues, and it seems like Aniq is getting more used to his detective hat.
Spoilers Ahead
What Happens In Episode 3?
Zoe gave Aniq everything that she found on Edgar’s body while Aniq and Danner were listening to Grace’s story. He sees the pharmaceutical prescription as well as the third cuff link, which has the letter G on it. According to Zoe,...

Move on!”However, Simon did confirm he and Edgar will be working on a fourth movie together, but it will be entirely separate from their 'cornetto trilogy', which also included 'Hot Fuzz' and 'The World's End'.He...

A lot of fans have been clamoring for a sequel to the 2004 zombie romantic comedy Shaun of the Dead (watch or own it Here) from the moment they first saw the end credits on that film to start to roll. We here at JoBlo even pitched an idea for a follow-up with an episode of our video series Show Me the Sequel! But while Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg admitted that he once “jokingly” wrote a treatment for a sequel that would have been called From Dusk Till Shaun, because Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright “thought it would be funny to do the film again, but with vampires”, he and Wright have both made it clear over the years that they really have no interest in making a sequel. And during a new interview with The Guardian, Pegg has said it’s time for fans to...

A locked-room murder mystery anchored by an eccentric detective, The Afterparty is one of many comedy-mysteries to surface in the wake of Rian Johnson’s Knives Out. But the Apple TV+ series sets itself apart with a distinctly meta sense of humor that’s typical of creator Christopher Miller and producer Phil Lord’s work together. When Tiffany Haddish’s excitable Detective Danner moves into investigative mode, she imagines each person’s testimony as a pastiche of a different movie. Think Rashomon meets Mad magazine.
Where Johnson’s Glass Onion brought back Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc for a new adventure with a brand new cast of characters, the second season of The Afterparty both retains its central sleuth and brings back two characters from the previous season, Aniq (Sam Richardson) and Zoë (Zoë Chao). The two friends stumble upon a new murder, this time at a wedding between Zoë’s sister,...

Since its release in 2004, Edgar Wright’s “Shaun of the Dead” has grown to become one of the century’s most beloved comedy films. But as popular a touchstone as the film remains, co-writer and star Simon Pegg has made it clear that a sequel to the zombie rom-com isn’t on his to-do list in the future.
“If I ever do an Instagram Live or whatever, people are always like, ‘I need ‘Shaun of the Dead 2’ in my life,’” Pegg said in a recent interview with The Guardian. “And I’m like, ‘No, you don’t fucking need ‘Shaun of the Dead 2!’ The last thing you need is ‘Shaun of the Dead 2!’ It’s done. Move on!’”
The original “Shaun of the Dead” starred Pegg as the titular Shaun, a slacker salesman who gets dumped by his girlfriend right before the onslaught of a zombie apocalypse. The film was a sleeper success upon release,...

Plot: Detective Danner returns to help Aniq and Zoë solve whodunnit by questioning family members, star-crossed lovers and business partners, and hearing each suspect’s retelling of the weekend, each with their own unique perspective and visual style.
Review: Last year, AppleTV+ premiered Christopher Miller’s whodunit comedy, The Afterparty, to critical acclaim. Following a Rashomon-esque approach where each murder suspect told their story in a different genre style, the series was as hilarious as it was unique. Bringing The Afterparty back for a second season meant that not only would the creative team have to bring something new to the table, but a cast on par with the all-stars of the first season would need to be recruited. With only Sam Richardson, Zoe Chao, and Tiffany Haddish reprising their roles, The Afterparty‘s second season has delivered another run that is just as good as the first. While there...
