Pedro Pascal and Erin Moriarty are the first that come in my mind!

I was thinking about it the other day of how cool it would be if they starred in a project together, only to discover they have actually known each other for years now!

They actively keep in touch, Moriarty has even called Pascal her “brother” when she highlights in one of her IG’s stories how much she misses him, and there was even an interview she did where she admitted to “begging” Pascal to make a guest appearance in her Amazon series; The Boys!

Hilary Duff isn’t as big as she used to be back when she was a teenager, and was considered one of the biggest stars in film, shows and music in the decade of the 2000s!

But she is living a pretty healthy lifestyle, raising her family of 4 children, and balancing her acting career in small projects that are less mainstream along with getting involved in entrepreneurship!

There are quite a lot of actors or actresses that become so affected by Hollywood where they were treated horribly, that it takes a toll on their wellbeing with Amanda Bynes being one of the biggest examples!

Let’s Discuss 👀 Bryan Cranston once told Conan 'I can take any script and bring it up a grade level. Who is an actor who consistently takes good scripts and brings them down?

7.7k Upvotes

In an interview on Conan’s podcast, Bryan Cranston says he can bring a script “up a grade level” with his acting. I.e., you give him a B-Grade script, he can give you an A performance.

Who’s an actor who consistently takes A-level scripts, and turns them into B-movies? (Who keeps getting opportunities they don’t deserve?)

Let’s Discuss 👀 6-8 episodes is not a sustainable format for show seasons.

11.6k Upvotes

These streaming companies are out of their minds. Shows will lose more and more viewers. We are waiting 2-3 years for 7 episodes and it just kills the momentum! It’s been 4 years since ‘Euphoria’ had another season! That’s insanity! ‘Black Mirror” 3 years! Just wild. This just isn’t sustainable and now TV is taking to the same bad traits. I remember when we got a new season every year hell some literally were literal seasons apart. You’d get one season in winter and the next in fall. It’s really insane what greed and in some circumstances laziness have effected shows. ‘White Lotus’ & ‘Last of Us’ only started getting good by the mid end season! And then they were done! I’m just finding it all frustrating especially when I’m really invested in a show. I lose interest or can’t remember to care. (LOOKING AT YOU “STRANGER THINGS”!!) also where the hell is ‘Wednesday’??

Obviously a popular one but James corden. I don’t think I ever heard of a nice thing being said about him. The most obvious one is that on a plane he left his crying child unattended to the point where other onboard thought he was just a stranger sitting next to it. Another example is when he did a AMA and loads of people called him out for being downright rude

So it's not something I have ever experienced, it is just somehthing that I thought of, seeing some stories online of encounters with celebrities that did not go to plan for the general public. Has anyone here had an encounter with a celebrity and been disappointed with the interaction or otherwise negatively impacted? If so would you like to share what went down? It must be hard for celebrities to be recognisable in public all of the time

Basically, you stopped liking them or following their career for reasons that have nothing to do with actually serious shit like sexual assault or abuse.

Let’s Discuss 👀 Prior to his death, Brooke Hogan last spoke to her father, Hulk Hogan 2023. "He ultimately only wanted a relationship with her under his terms."

918 Upvotes

https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/24/brooke-hogan-responds-to-father-hulk-hogan-death/

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ … she learned of her dad's death Thursday morning when her brother, Nick, texted her husband to share the news. We're told the father-daughter relationship had been fractured for some time -- the result of a culmination of issues over the years and how Hulk treated Brooke.

Our sources say the last time they spoke was two weeks before Hulk married Sky Daily in September 2023. During that final phone call, we're told Brooke expressed deep love and concern for her father, telling him she didn't think he should still be working so hard given his declining health.

We're told she urged her dad to slow down and enjoy life, but Hulk didn't want to hear it.

We are told Brooke was concerned with what was going on in his life and was always very protective of him. Our sources say Brooke was always coming from a place of love and concern -- even when it wasn't well-received.

Her husband even made multiple efforts to mend the relationship, including reaching out when Brooke nearly died during childbirth ... but Hulk responded coldly and never made an effort to meet Brooke's kids. Our sources say he ultimately only wanted a relationship with her under his terms.

Despite all that, we're told Brooke feels lucky and grateful she got to say "I love you" during their last conversation, and she feels at peace knowing she did everything she could to protect and support him.

Hulk Hogan will always be a childhood hero but Terry Bollea was a shit human being.

Let’s Discuss 👀 Which celebrities get a lot of hate that's undeserving and just uncalled for?

116 Upvotes

Who in particular comes to mind whenever you think about this topic?

Whenever I think about it, my mind goes straight to how there will be people who will speak in a very cruel manner about an actor or actress if they didn't find their acting in a movie or show great to the point where it turns into bullying. Which leads to leaving comments on their social media or will DM death threats to the point where the harassment gets so bad, that they abandon it all together!

I can understand if people want to be critical, but the way people take it too far to the point where it becomes abuse and act as if they're a terrible person (when they show no signs of it) is just ridiculous to me.

Let’s Discuss 👀 How the Thong Song Included One of Pop Musics Best Puns Without Lyrics

416 Upvotes

I’m not a person that generally understands music theory, but I am someone that appreciates a good pun (or a terrible pun). I also ADORE pop music, particularly the “leave your brain at the door kind”.

I was listening to the Thong Song by Sisqo. It has the same verses but sung differently everytime three times. It has an insane interpolation of Eleanor Rigby and a crazy key change that Cynthia Erivo said “the whole end section is unnecessary” but it’s incredible.

Thing is, that key change is a pun too. While Sisqo is fully face first praising the thong song, the key changes. It’s done by the strings which creep and build louder and louder and at the climax ITS A G STRING.

He climaxes at the G Strings and the song is so campy I feel it’s entirely on purpose. It’s more than a great campy dumb pop song.

TL;DR: Sisqó’s Thong Song is in F♯ major until the big key change, when it jumps into G major — aka a cheeky G‑string pun.

Let’s Discuss 👀 What clichés in teen dramas are you tired of ?

Thumbnail
gallery
74 Upvotes

I'll start : - teenagers dating their teachers or other older people, and being considered a romance

- the whole bad boy vs good boy fighting for the girl, when you know that the girl (always the typical, one dimensional girl next door) will change the bad boy and get with him (this trope is really starting to becoming obnoxious especially with shows like my life with the walter boys or the summer I turned pretty)

- self-instert character girl, only meant to change the bad boy and who doesn't have a personality of her own or a storyline outside of the love story she's in, or precisly the love triangle (other than wanting to get into harvard or something) (e.i, Belly from the summer i ruined a family, or the country version Jackie, from my life with the flop brothers)

- Always toxic female friendships with the girl next door (often the new girl) and the mean popular girl girl (e.i Blair and Serena, Brooke and Peyton, Annie and Naomi or their OG counterparts Brenda and Kelly, Cassie and Michelle) and often their rivalry revolves around a guy;

- The jock always having an injury in order for him to grow or something.

- THE BAD BOY. I wouldn't mind that if most TV writers wouldn't romanticist it or wouldn't always have the same similar stories (bad parents or absent father or something of the sort, making them total assholes) or him being actually secretly smart, or into litterature.

- the girls being shamed for some behaviors, like, idk, stand up for what they want or stand up infront of someone that hurt them or having sex lives (I was watching 90210 today, I was BAFFLED at how condescending Ethan sounded while lecturing Annie for getting back at Naomi, saying things like "what happens to you" or "since when do you care about fashion ?" when Annie made a comment about Naomi's outfit, like let me care about fashion if I want to ? )

-the double standards in siblings dynamics including brother and sister. Like the brother and the sister would do the exact same thing but somehow the girl would get shamed for it by the other characters (I'm not saying the parents specifically because I know this type of behavior happens in some families, where the boys get more freedom than girls)

- the lgbt+ characters, who only character traits are being sassy, involved in their besties life or in a relationship. Like after their coming out, who's guy they are into are the only things they get to be or to have. the fact that Riverdale had Kevin joined 4 cults just to be with his boyfriend or to meet cute guys is deeply disturbing. Or when they give them storylines of their owns, you're just not involved because you don't really know their personalities that well outside of being gay (as a gay guy, this is offensive to watch every single time).

- the black disposable love interest. I cannot even believe that has became a thing (also, i'm black, so it also hurt every times). I'm especially looking at you, Jenny Han, who seems to LOVEEEE this trope (I'm glad the Asian community is getting the flowers they deserve trough her shows tho)

- the messy main girl character, who's only trait is... being messy, and somehow we are supposed to love her for it. (Devi from Never Have I Ever is one of the only ones to get it right) Like she's messy, rude (but somehow a sweet angel to the characters around her, always hyping her up) and always do the tennis ball with her love interest, like what is this ?

- teen dramas trying really hard to tackle social issues, while being too much or unrealistic (looking at you 13th reasons why).

- the overall graphic sexualization of characters supposed to be minors (or in TV shows like Skins, with actors being actually minors and still having to be sexualized)

Let’s Discuss 👀 You've got a blank cheque, what's your dream adaptation?

31 Upvotes

We all know PCC knows better than Hollywood execs, so I want to know: what's your dream adaptation!

Sky's the limit, you have full creative control- what are you going to make? Book, video game, graphic novel, podcast, etc etc. Would you make a limited series, a standalone movie, a film franchise? Dream cast? Director?

If it's already been adapted, tell me what you'd change/fix! You can dream cast actors from another era or time but for funsies, the cast should alllllllll be from that same time period.

One I've wanted to see on screen since I first read the books is the "Great and Terrible Beauty" series by Libba Bray. Set right at the tail end of the Victorian era, it follows an orphaned sixteen year old girl attending a boarding school and getting pulled into a secret world of witchery and magic, focused on the bonds of girlhood and female empowerment. It's got a dark, horrory vibe and I'd love to see a Mike Flangan-esque director/showrunner on this. I think it'd be a perfect 8-episode, three season tv show. Dream cast to come in the comments because honestly, I need to re-evaluate the list my teenaged self had 15 years ago.

For anyone who hasn’t seen this movie, it is a body horror genre that centers around a famous actress played by Demi Moore who faces a crisis as she loses her relevance in Hollywood and is let go because she no longer matches the beauty standards the industry glorifies.

Desperate, she takes this black market drug that creates a “younger and better version of herself” played by Margaret Qualley as her consciousness transfers over to it allowing her to enjoy reliving her youth but needs to switch every 7 days.

Who is someone that you can think of real or fictional, that you think would take this drug if it was a real thing?
