Mindhunter fans were dealt a crushing blow last week, but they would do well to check out the trailer for HBO's new serial killer documentary Crazy, Not Insane from Oscar-winning director Alex Gibney. The provocative film follows Dr. Dorothy Otnow Lewis, a well-respected psychiatrist who has dedicated her career to the study of murderers, seeking answers to the question of why we kill. In addition to profiling Dr. Lewis and her research, the documentary includes videotaped death row interviews, and examines the formative experiences and neurological dysfunction of such infamous murderers as Arthur Shawcross and Ted Bundy, …

HBO’s The Vow has been comically terrible. It took a really interesting subject—the existence of the multi-level marketing scheme-turned-sex-cult NXIVM—and clearly had no idea how to tell the story. There’s a loose thread about defectors trying to bring down NXIVM, but at no point have directors Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer found a larger theme or thoughtful subtext to build upon. Instead, they seemed to have played into their subject’s worst, most narcissistic tendencies to fashion themselves as rebellious heroes, thus repeating the self-actualization garbage that brought them into NXIVM …

The initiative will begin in the 2021-2022 development season. In addition to the funding, the network is also targeting 40% BIPOC representation in its writers rooms, with a goal of bumping that up to …

What would have happened if inclusion and representation were taken more seriously in the Golden Age of Hollywood? While we will never actually know, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan attempt to answer the question in their Netflix limited series, Hollywood, which is like a What If…? comic book about Hollywood in the 1940s. The series takes real people like Rock Hudson, Anna May Wong, and Vivien Leigh and combines them with fictionalized aspiring actors and filmmakers who are willing to do whatever it takes to make Hollywood look at every person as equal, no matter their race or sexual orientation. …

Listen: I'm begging you to read this Daily Beast excerpt from Val Kilmer's memoir I'm Your Huckleberry in full, and then I'm begging you to read the full book available now, and then I'm begging you to listen to the audiobook narrated, of course, by Will Forte. The chapter excerpted from the talented, eccentric actor's wild life tells the tales of his time shooting Top Gun with Tony Scott and Tom Cruise, and every single detail is wilder than the last. For example: Kilmer initially wanted nothing to do with the film. He found …
