At the beginning of the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "Descent, Part I", Data (Brent Spiner) is spending some free time on the holodeck. He has arranged a poker game with three of the greatest minds the scientific community has ever known. Sir Isaac Newton (John Neville) is arrogant and impatient. Albert Einstein (Jim Norton) is affable, but an aggravating poker player, as he struggles with basic arithmetic. And, sitting across from Data, making science jokes and poking fun at Newton and Einstein, is Stephen Hawking, playing himself.
Hawking gets the opening line of the episode, completing an anecdote: "But then I said, in that frame of reference, the perihelion of Mercury would have precessed in the opposite direction." Einstein laughs, and Data declares the story to be very amusing. Data tries to explain the joke to Newton, who would not have known about the relativistic curvature of space-time.

A show doesn't necessarily have to feature "likable" characters in order to qualify as a "good" show. The characters on "Succession" are all varying degrees of reprehensible. Every single member of "the gang" on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is extremely horrible (on purpose). If you actively rooted for Walter White by the end of "Breaking Bad," you should give that a second thought. All of this is to say that likability isn't a required trait for fictional characters, but some shows do want you to relate to their characters somehow.
"The Big Bang Theory" doesn't have the venom or acidity of either "Succession" or "Always Sunny," and it seems to want you to identify with at least one of its main characters. Still, Chuck Lorre's show wants to have it both ways and paint these same characters as larger-than-life to the point where some of them are incredibly off-putting ... so much so,...

This post contains spoilers for "Evil."
The age of streaming is full of problems. TV shows are getting extremely expensive, seasons are getting too short while the wait between them becomes too long, and shows are getting canceled before they have a chance to hit their groove. Even when shows are successful according to every metric, they can get canceled just for reasons that have nothing to do with their quality, like corporate cost-cutting.
Such is the case with "Evil," the best horror TV show since "Hannibal" and "The Exorcist." It's a series that mixes network procedurals with all-time great tales of the macabre, giving audiences monster-of-the-week stories that not only feature some of the best creature work on TV, but also tell poignant stories about the hell of modern existence and how the devil can't compare to the evil of the internet and late-stage capitalism.

Being one of the biggest sitcoms of the 21st century, The Big Bang Theory was no stranger to major guest appearances, which involved the likes of Charlie Sheen, Carrie Fisher, Stan Lee, etc. Moreover, it was common for scientists and physicists to pay a visit to the sitcom as it was notable among the science community for making subjects, including Physics and astronomy, look cool.

Welcome to your Evil Season 4 Episode 13 recap. This is, sadly, the penultimate episode. You can enjoy a discussion about the episode, as well.
David announces that today is the last mass as the building will be deconsecrated and sold. He finds a note “from a friend” on the vestibule that says to meet at their sacred place.
Kristen tells David she got teary-eyed, and David admitted it was odd that he felt closest to the two atheists in the building. As they ponder their last assessment, men arrive with ladders, ready to tear the place down.

Father Katagas from the Vatican is in David’s office. All the files are gone, but he has one last case for them. It turns out that the Vatican did not close them down; the archdiocese did.

Have we really reached the penultimate episode?
Is Evil Season 4 Episode 13 the last time we will be looking forward to another episode of this thought-provoking series?
Dammit, it’s just mean to bring Evil to a screeching halt.

We’ve got a full recap of “Fear the Unholy” if you’re looking for details. Here’s where the discussion happens (as if I could ever hope to do Evil justice with words on a page).
There was no hiding the fact that Kristen’s words were spoken on behalf of everyone who has brought Evil to life and those of us who have watched it. It’s not just sad; it’s mean.
(Alyssa Longchamp/Paramount+)
We’re literally at the end of the road, but there is still so much to be explored. Just look at this list of goodies:
There were two “case of the week” storylines.

For me, it’s both a fascinating privilege and a daunting business to write about Evil. I mean, I had no idea that I’d be here sharing my love for this fantastic show with you all when I first clicked play on the pilot back in 2019. And now, while I continue to reel from the whimsical and very, very reference-heavy Fear of the Unholy, all I can think about is how there’s just one more episode to go until Evil closes up shop. But I wouldn’t worry too much about things being left unfinished next week. From the looks of what the penultimate episode has built up to, I think we’re either gonna be very thrilled or absolutely devastated by Evil’s ending. It’s always good to have closure either way, right?

Director James Marsh has had great success telling the stories of extraordinary people. He won an Oscar for his documentary Man on Wire, about tightrope walker Philippe Petit, and his Stephen Hawking biopic, The Theory of Everything, which won several awards, including Oscars. So Dance First — a biography about the iconic author and playwright Samuel Beckett (Waiting for Godot), directed by Marsh and starring Garbiel Byrne (Hereditary) and Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones) — should be a slam dunk. Unfortunately, despite its attempts to break convention, Dance First feels far too safe to make much of an impact.

The Big Bang Theory has been a beloved and timeless sitcom for many reasons. While it is hilarious in every way and has fans from all walks of life, there is one aspect that has made it especially appealing to a certain audience. Being a love letter to the scientific and geek communities, the series places special emphasis on the misfits that get alienated by society. With this in mind, several moments in the show were extremely exciting for fans of the superhero and science fiction worlds.

Known for having some of the most wild cameos from the worlds of science and science fiction, the show featured figures like Stephen Hawking, Carrie Fisher, and even Elon Musk. It is safe to say that it has been very impressive with the people it has allowed into its cast. One such person happened to be Leonard Nimoy.

Sandra Bullock has been a leading Hollywood actress since the 90s and has starred in some of the most popular films of all time. From her scene-stealing role in Sylvester Stallone’s Demolition Man, she made her breakthrough in Keanu Reeves’ Speed. Her leading roles in Miss Congeniality, Crash, The Blind Side, and Gravity established her as a bankable movie star.

In addition to being the lead in most of her films, Bullock also featured in a memorable cameo in Brad Pitt’s Bullet Train. The actress was originally planned to be a guest star in the series finale of The Big Bang Theory. However, she couldn’t make any dates for the show as she was already busy shooting a film at the time.

Pauly Shore and Richard Simmons’ family are clashing over a proposed biopic of the late fitness icon that is supposed to star Shore. The actor and comedian told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published July 30 that he was still developing the movie following Simmons’ death last month. Shore also cast doubt on Simmons’ own disapproval of the unauthorized biopic.
“I know he wanted me to do it,” Shore told Et. “I don’t even know if that was him tweeting [disapproval] the whole time, to be quite honest. I don’t know who that was.”
Simmons’ staff and brother, Lenny, took to the late entertainment figure’s X/Twitter account to set the record straight and to continue to stress that Simmons never gave Shore his blessing for the biopic.

We’ve seen Eddie Redmayne in all kinds of modes over the years – as genius physicist Stephen Hawking in The Theory Of Everything, as introverted wizard Newt Scamander in the Fantastic Beasts films, as a megalomaniacal space deity in Jupiter Ascending. But now, we’ll see him in an all-new light – the series adaptation of classic ‘70s thriller film The Day Of The Jackal has Redmayne as its titular Jackal, a master assassin whose sharp-shooting exploits find him hunted down by the authorities. Here, that’s Lashana Lynch’s intelligence officer Bianca, ready to embark on a cat-and-mouse chase to take the Jackal down. Watch the tense trailer here:
The series is a new adaptation of Frederick Forsyth’s novel of the same name (previously re-adapted as 1997 Bruce Willis-starring film The Jackal), but swaps the ‘70s setting for the current political climate. Top Boy creator Ronan Bennett is on writing duties,...

Chuck Lorre’s name is synonymous with some of the most popular sitcoms on television over the years. Known as the ‘King of sitcoms’, the writer and producer’s works include Dharma and Greg, and his two big blockbusters Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory, both of which had a hugely successful run on television.

Being a veteran in this niche field for years now, Lorre has constantly heard criticisms targeted towards sitcoms and their relevance in the future. But as far as the creator was concerned, these opinions did not hold water as he believed firmly that the genre wasn’t going to disappear anytime soon.

The Big Bang Theory has significantly contributed to the careers of the huge star cast that worked in it. Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, and the others earned massive numbers and even rose to insane fame after the show. However, another popular child actor could also have become a major name in TV industry, had he not rejected the CBS show- Macaulay Culkin.

The actor, who has been a household name after his work in the first two Home Alone films, was also offered a role in The Big Bang Theory. According to Macaulay Culkin, the first pitch was so weird that he was convinced to reject it not once, but thrice. But interestingly, Culkin does not feel sorry to pass on the role.

Over the years, The Big Bang Theory has become a place of comfort for many of its viewers. The show ran for twelve years, and since the release of its very first episode, it has become timeless in every definition of the word. Jim Parsons’s portrayal of Sheldon Cooper was frustratingly good, and audiences could not help but fall in love with his quirks.

When an actor spends more than a decade playing a character, it fundamentally changes them as a person. Fans can assume that Sheldon had a similar effect on Parsons. However, it would seem that there was one thing that even he was unable to do. Something that was brought forth by a movie he did in 2022.

The Big Bang Theory has been wreaking havoc among viewers ever since it first started airing back in 2007, with all the guest celebrity appearances further adding stars to the already star-studded show. One of these very surprise arrivals was from none other than the incredibly legendary English theoretical physicist, cosmologist, and author: The late Stephen Hawking.

That said, the episode he appeared in also featured actor Simon Helberg, who played Howard Wolowitz in the fan-favorite series, making an impression of the late legend. However, the tough part here was the fact that the actor had to actually perform that very act in front of Hawking on the sets — something that Helberg was anything but okay with.

Throughout its run, many famous science figures stopped by the set of The Big Bang Theory, which is notable among the science community for making subjects like physics and astronomy look cool. These figures included the likes of Bill Nye, Stephen Hawking, George Smoot, and Steve Wozniak, who all ended up having a brief cameo in the sitcom.
While it was common for scientists and physicists to pay a visit to the set of the acclaimed sitcom, things went south after one of them discovered actual uranium in Sheldon and Leonard’s apartment.

The Big Bang Theory’s brilliant narrative involving a bunch of science geeks and a stunning wannabe actor forming an unlikely friendship, became one of the most watched sitcoms owing to its characterization and razor-sharp humor. Over 12 seasons, the show gained huge popularity for the seamless chemistry of its ensemble cast led by the brilliant Jim Parsons.

Good news for people who don’t want to spend a single second of the summertime outdoors — all six seasons of the hit ABC series Lost are now streaming on Netflix. Judging from the reaction on social media, a lot of people are excited to rewatch the popular, and frequently misunderstood, sci-fi series.
While we mostly remember Lost for its dramatic storylines, wacky twists and improbably hot plane crash survivors, there was some comedy to be found in the show too. Case in point, Hurley’s dad was played by the great Cheech Marin, who somehow wasn’t responsible for creating the “Smoke Monster.”
But in retrospect, the most notable cameo for comedy fans was when It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Rob McElhenney showed up in Season Three as “Aldo,” an armed guard working for the mysterious “Others.” We first see him reading a copy of Stephen Hawking’s...

For more than ten years of its run on TV, The Big Bang Theory has succeeded in getting probably the most impressive collection of guest stars, with some of them being none other than Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Carrie Fisher, Stan Lee, Bob Newhart and many others.
As the show proceeded with more seasons over the course of the time, some of those stars got so involved in the storyline that showed up more than just once, considering that Sheldon’s forever favorite scientist, Stephen Hawking, was featured in seven episodes.
However, even with that long list of huge stars, The Big Bang Theory reached a whole new level when it got another famous physicist for one of the last season’s episodes, and Sheldon would definitely be freaking out right now.

Throughout its seven-season run that ended several weeks ago, The Big Bang Theory’s prequel Young Sheldon has always been the show the return of which was highly anticipated, though it still left some fans disappointed by the series’ disregard for what The Big Bang Theory had once talked about.
For years that Young Sheldon was aired on TV, the original show’s long-standing lovers have been repeatedly pointing out the prequel’s plot holes for which not a single explanation could ever work out. Among all the inconsistencies that have somehow distorted Sheldon Cooper’s life story, one seems especially weird if we take into account the character’s quirky, yet meticulous personality.
In Young Sheldon’s episode 16 of season 3, the titular character goes all the way from Texas to visit CalTech, the university where he later on will study and work, for Stephen Hawking’s lecture. Given that...

Eddie Redmayne had one of the best moments in his career when he won the Oscar for his performance as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. The actor did immense research and training to portray the late theoretical physicist accurately and received widespread acclaim.
However, despite such training, the British actor found himself suffering from intense anxiety and lack of sleep before filming the 2014 biopic. Recently in an interview, Eddie Redmayne confessed that he could not sleep for the entire night worrying if he could do justice to the role.

Lives of historical figures often get cinematic treatment to tell sweeping tales of real life events. From United States Presidents to their wives and First Ladies, to Supreme Court Justices to scientists and brilliant minds, nobody is off limits, especially if the stories are triumphant.

Young Sheldon boss Steve Holland would like to use this opportunity to address the fate of Paige Swanson (and debunk all of your tragic theories about her absence in The Big Bang Theory).
Mckenna Grace’s character, a fellow child prodigy, was introduced early in Season 2 of the prequel series and served as Sheldon’s chief rival at East Texas Tech. Aside from Tam, who crossed over to Big Bang, she was the closest thing that Sheldon had to a friend, and remained an acquaintance for many years, eventually befriending Sheldon’s twin sister Missy.

Alejandro González Iñárritu's Oscar-winning film "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)" was a pretty ballsy move to make in 2014. The film stars Michael Keaton as actor Riggan Thompson, a once-massive Hollywood action star who has aged out of action roles. Notably, Riggan starred in three crowd-pleasing superhero movies about Birdman, a Batman-like vigilante. Keaton, of course, played Batman in 1989, 1991, and 2023.
Riggan is set to star in a high-profile Broadway production, hoping to prove to himself and the world that he is a pliable and capable actor, not merely a nostalgia-laced superhero figure. There is a lot of dialogue in "Birdman" about how superhero movies are the antithesis of art and that superhero actors are aggressively robbed of their thespian instincts. Good actors, Riggan complains, are ripped from meaningful projects and thrust into commercial FX bonanzas where they are expected to do little beyond pose and wear silly costumes.

The Big Bang Theory owes its immense popularity not only to the talented cast and the compelling storyline revolving around four geek friends that have to navigate through life using their gifted minds, but also to the impressive list of guest stars that ever appeared in there.
And though Sheldon Cooper, portrayed by Jim Parsons, could’ve seemed to be extremely calm while sharing the screen with the biggest stars, the actor himself was pretty much affected by these situations.
Throughout the whole run of 12 seasons, the show’s main cast got to work with the pop culture and science’s legendary figures like Stan Lee, Stephen Hawking, Charlie Sheen, Bob Newhart and many others — but one movie star in particular made Jim Parsons forget how to breathe normally for some time.
As he revealed, sharing the screen with Star Wars’ legendary actor James Earl Jones got him a weird feeling.

Pauly Shore once again addressed his in-development Richard Simmons biopic that has become a hot topic.
“I’m also gonna be starring in the Richard Simmons biopic…whether he likes it or not, Richard,” Shore said at his Netflix Is a Joke show at the Comedy Store Friday night in Los Angeles. “Just another fucking bump in my fucking road.”
Shore’s hour-and-a-half comedy set recounted his life story with a particular focus on growing up in Los Angeles with parents Sammy Shore and Mitzi Shore who co-founded the Comedy Store.
While the bulk of the set detailed his childhood through to the time he spent on MTV and even at the Playboy Mansion, at the very end he jumped to the present to talk about his current life stage and achievements and to briefly address the ongoing biopic situation.
The comment comes after a string of social media back-and-forths...

I am not a scientist. I am an artist. I cannot begin to spout scientific data on what we will become once artificial intelligence outsmarts us. I can read the predictions of how our workforce will be replaced by AI. I can read the warnings from Stephen Hawking that go back as far as 1996 that it will not be climate change that will be our undoing but more likely, AI.
But what I can say with certainty is that what we all share as humans all over the planet and what connects us is the human experience made up of emotions that nothing programmed can ever experience. And it is what has documented our existence since the beginning of time in our hieroglyphics, and our paintings and our storytelling, and in our songs.

Pauly Shore said he “was up all night crying” due to Richard Simmons continuing to publicly distance himself from a biopic that would star Shore as the fitness guru.
“I just read that a man that I don’t know is writing my bio pic starring Pauly Shore,” Simmons wrote on his verified Facebook page earlier this week. “I do not approve this movie. I am in talks with major studios to create my own bio pic with some help. Wait for this movie.”
Simmons previously said that he was not involved with the biopic and didn’t give Shore “permission” for it, right after it was announced that a feature film about the fitness icon, backed by the Wolper Organization, was in development.
“You guys, I was up all night crying regarding Richard Simmons’ tweet,” Shore wrote on his Instagram Thursday. “Richard, how do you not approve of this movie?...

In the sixth-to-last episode of the prequel series, a recently published paper co-authored by the future Dr. Cooper led to a frenzy of grad school recruiting. Harvard, M.I.T., Princeton, Stanford and the University of Toronto all came a-knockin’ with generous offers. But the 14-year-old scientist, who hates change, strongly considered continuing his education at East Texas Tech.

Among the new productions on Broadway this spring is a revival of the classic musical “Cabaret,” starring Eddie Redmayne. In 2014 he starred as Stephen Hawking in director James Marsh‘s biopic “The Theory of Everything.” His performance won him an Oscar for Best Actor (making him the eighth youngest winner in that category at age 33), overcoming stiff competition from Michael Keaton, the star of the Best Picture winner of that year, “Birdman.” How did Redmayne pull through? Here are five reasons.
1. The industry felt he came into his own
Prior to “The Theory of Everything,” Redmayne was a rising star. In 2010 he won a Tony for his Broadway debut starring opposite Alfred Molina in John Logan‘s play “Red.” He went on to get more prominent film roles where critics, audiences and the industry started to take notice of him. Among them were Simon Curtis‘s 2011 Oscar-nominated biopic “My Week with Marilyn...

I never liked Tom Ripley but I keep meeting him.
I’ve “met” Ripley in five films, and he’s now the protagonist of a somber eight-part Netflix series. So filmmakers clearly find his character intriguing. Even though he has no character.
That, in itself, reminds me that Hollywood is suffering the same problem as Washington: an absence of vital young protagonists. Voters are confronted by an election that’s really a rerun, likely opened by a debate no one wants to witness.
In filmmaking, the worldwide success of Oppenheimer told us that a complex story becomes more interesting if it’s also about someone interesting. Yet movies with vibrant young protagonists seem to be losing their moment.

The beloved soap opera, introduced in 1977, has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. With a stellar ensemble cast featuring Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and James Earl Jones, the franchise has consistently delighted audiences with its rich content. Surprisingly, despite its global success, the two cast members didn’t cross paths until their joint appearance on the hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory.

While Princess Leia and Darth Vader share a few moments in the original film, it’s noteworthy that the late actor David Prowse portrayed Vader on-screen, with Jones providing his iconic voice during post-production. The two actors would finally meet during the filming of an unforgettable episode of The Big Bang Theory.
