With the first three episodes The Boys Season 2 now streaming on Amazon, before going weekly for the rest of the season, I recently spoke to Karen Fukuhara (Kimiko Miyashiro) and Tomer Capon (Frenchie) about making the highly anticipated second season. Before doing the interview, I’d watched the first three episodes of Season 2, but since then I’ve seen the entire second season and can assure you it’s fantastic and loaded with crazy WTF moments and plenty of twists and turns you won’t see coming. I loved Season 2 and cannot wait to be able to …
Capone, from director Josh Trank and star Tom Hardy, is a strange film. It follows the last moments in the life of famed gangster Al Capone (Hardy) as his body and brain are ravaged by the debilitating effects of syphilis and dementia.

We tend to think of actors in terms of their overall performance, but the real measuring stick is in the choices they make, be it role to role, scene to scene, or even moment to moment. The divide between good and great lies in those choices. When I think of this rule, the absolute first thing that comes to mind is Tom Hardy's choice to play iconic Batman villain Bane in The Dark Knight Rises like Mr. Monopoly huffing a can of paint thinner.

Josh Trank joins us to discuss his return to the writer/director chair, Capone.
Josh Trank is back with another movie following Fantastic Four.
Josh Trank’s somber, small-scale drama is not the guns-blazing Al Capone biopic some gangster movie fans might be expecting, but it’s a curiosity that nevertheless demands a look-see for a fresh take on a crime legend whose most notorious exploits have been retold many times already.
Vertical Entertainment has unveiled the new poster for Capone. The poster arrives a little over a week before the feature directed by Josh Trank and starring Tom Hardy as the infamous mobster Al Capone is released digitally by Vertical Entertainment and Redbox Entertainment.
