I’m alreadyon recordin calling the screwball German father-daughter comedy,Toni Erdmann, one of the best films of the year. So it was delightful to talk to its writer-directorMaren Adeabout many of the screwball film’s influences. We touched on the economic depression, globalization,Andy Kaufmanand how the French-American double feature ofMy Father the Heroinspired her script.

It looks likeYellowstonefans might have reason to keep their cowboy hats on a little longer. WhileTaylor Sheridan’sYellowstonesaga officially concluded in December 2024, one of its stars,Forrie J. Smith, just dropped a tantalizing hint about the series' future. The final episode was, well, divisive, to say the least.Itdidtie up many of the storylines and for some, it was a satisfying conclusion that brought many plot threads to their natural end. For others, it felt rushed, or incomplete, or just not the same withoutKevin Costner, but regardless of how you felt, the ending certainly laid the groundwork for future stories, especially focusing onRip (Cole Hauser), Beth (Kelly Reilly), and Carter(Finn Little) starting a new chapter on their own ranch....
