We spoke with Ryan Hansen, Martin Starr, Tyrel Jackson Williams, and Zoë Chao about what it was like coming together to continue the cult classic Party Down. Chao said she watched the show while working at a restaurant (before her big break) and felt less alone, so when she got the chance to hop on board, she said yes and spoke about her funniest moment. Williams said he spent time researching but knew he was entering a show where he was a fan of everyone and was looking forward to working with this stellar cast. Meanwhile, Hansen and Starr kept the conversation funny as the two talked about trees, mountains, peaks, and valleys -- but also returning and chasing dreams.

Synopsis:

Ten years later, most of the Party Down catering team have moved on, including actor/bartender Henry Pollard (Adam Scott, “Severance,” “Parks and Recreation”). After a surprise reunion, the gang find themselves once again stoically enduring the procession of random parties and oddball guests all over Los Angeles.

Scott reprises his role alongside original cast members Ken Marino (“The Other Two,” “Veronica Mars”), Jane Lynch (“Glee,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), Martin Starr (Knocked Up, “Silicon Valley”), Ryan Hansen (“Bless this Mess,” “Veronica Mars”) and Megan Mullally (“Will & Grace,” “The Great North”).

Previously announced new cast members joining in on the fun include Jennifer Garner (The Adam Project, Yes Day), Tyrel Jackson Williams (Thunder Force, “Brockmire”), and Zoë Chao (“Love Life,” “The Afterparty”). James Marsden (Disenchanted, “Dead to Me”) is set to recur as a guest star.

The third season is executive produced by “Party Down” alumni Rob Thomas (“Veronica Mars,” “iZombie”), John Enbom (“iZombie,” “Benched,”), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Dan Etheridge (“Veronica Mars,” iZombie”) and Adam Scott (“Severance,” “Parks and Recreation”). Enbom also serves as showrunner. “Party Down” is produced for STARZ by Lionsgate Television.

*Party Down premieres on Starz February 24, 2023.

Elizabeth Mitchell is sunshine wrapped in a person. She comes on the screen with a huge smile and couldn't be more ready to spend time reviewing some of her most significant roles (even sharing with me the one item she took from the Once Upon a Time set -- and yes, she got up and grabbed it). Mitchell can't help but make you feel at peace as you speak with her. She is calming, happy, thankful, extremely caring, and sweet. She is confident and a strong advocate for women as she talks about her roles. Although I could talk about her past roles for hours and hours, we eventually get to her latest role in Outer Banks, where she plays Carla Limbrey, an interesting woman who might help cause a miracle or two this season. Mitchell is driven by her passion for bringing stories to light and doesn't take a moment for granted. But one thing is clear; she is a mom first. Mitchell loves, love -- and we love her.

Synopsis:

After losing the gold and fleeing the Outer Banks, Season 3 finds the Pogues washed ashore on a desert island that, for a brief moment, seems like an idyllic home. Officially deemed “Poguelandia,” the island’s newest residents spend their days fishing, swimming, and reveling in the carefree lifestyle of their temporary dwelling. But things quickly go south for John B, Sarah, Kiara, Pope, JJ, and Cleo when they find themselves once again caught up in a race for the treasure, quite literally running for their lives. They’re broke and far from home, they can’t trust anyone, Ward and Rafe are hungry for revenge, and there’s a ruthless Caribbean Don who will stop at nothing to find the bounty. Was the treasure ever within their reach? Or was it all a trap to stop them once and for all? Either way, it’s the Pogues against the world – and the only way out is together.

*Outer Banks Season Three will be available to stream on Netflix beginning February 23, 2023.

Ian Bohen is an actor with one of those magical careers. He has been in everything from Chicago P.D., Superman & Lois, Teen Wolf, Yellowstone, and Teen Wolf: The Movie, to name a few. With a career like that, you might think that Bohen is walking around with a chip on his shoulder, but let me tell you, that couldn't be further from the truth. Bohen is entirely down-to-earth, light-hearted, funny, thoughtful, smart, and works hard to make acting look effortless. We talk about everything, including what will happen when Yellowstone returns. His character, Ryan, is facing an uncertain future as he begins to fall in love but is torn away from the ranch to take care of the cattle down south. While Bohen has not seen the scripts for the second part, we both rattle off some ideas ad theories we have for his character when the show does return. There is also a moment we both bond over hats (yes, it will make sense, I promise). In addition to anticipating one of the biggest shows returning, Bohen decided to return as Peter Hale in Teen Wolf: The Movie because he felt that story just wasn't done. It's fun to hear him tell stories of what it was like the second he stepped on set for the first time, hanging out with the cast after all of this time, and if there might be another movie in the Teen Wolf fandom's future. Bohen was delighted with a big friendly smile; he was so generous with his time. There were no questions off limits, but hearing him tell all these stories was so much fun. He is just a nice guy who deserves all of the attention he is getting, and I couldn't be happier for him.

He operates in a corrupt world where politicians are compromised by influential oil and lumber corporations and land grabs make developers billions. Amid shifting alliances, unsolved murders, open wounds, and hard-earned respect, Dutton's property is in constant conflict with those it borders -- an expanding town, an Indian reservation, and America's first national park.

*Yellowstone is set to return this summer, meanwhile 'Teen Wolf: The Movie' is set to hit Paramount+ on January 26, 2023.

Every now and then comes a horror film where you can not predict what will happen. There is Something Wrong with The Children is a film that sets offs with two couples (one with kids and one without) that are having a lovely weekend together -- as we get to know the couples, we begin to see issues that happen when you are in long-term relationships. However, overall they are getting through it. So as we weed through some awkward moments, for the most part, things seem fine. However, one exploration trip around the property affects the children in a way that changes the entire tone of the film. We spoke with Carlos Santos (Thomas), who is married to Ellie (Amanda Crew), and Alisha Wainwright (Margaret), who is married to Ben (Zach Gilford). Carlos said he had so much fun on set playing in the blood, bonding with his cast mates, and having one of the most significant moments in the film (that will have you yell out loud). Meanwhile, Alisha said it's a lot emotional and that her character is really trying to ensure the weekend goes well for everyone but when the horror begins, she said certain things helped her tap into high levels of emotions. Alisha also added she too felt the same thing Carlos felt on set -- connection. She said the reason she thinks the chemistry comes off so well is because there was such a sense of friendship with everyone involved in the film. She goes on to discuss what it was like when things shifted and how she handled working with the younger actors.

Taylor Handley, best known as Kyle McLusky, from Mayor of Kingstown joined us to breakdown all of that drama that happened in the season one finale of Mayor of Kingstown and discuss where we find Kyle when we come back this season. We start out discussing the amazing career that Handley has been able to build since he was young -- while Handley says he doens't know where it comes from, he has always had a passion for it (even when he was playing a tree on stage). Handley said nothing is better then breaking down the character... what does the character want? What does the chatacter not want? Handley said nothing is better than having this equation and trying new things and working hard to solve it. From there we begin to breakdown how Handley was able to handle the emotional toll that season one finale had on him and his character to where we find them when season two begins. Handley is such a great person. He was energetic, happy, enthusiastic, clearly excited to be working in the industry, and was open to answer all of my questions and spend as much time with me as I needed. We got to talk about life and work -- films we loved and the industry. Handley is the kind of person you meet and just feel good talking to and want to be best friends with. He deserves everything he has achieved and I can not wait to see what else he does. Thank you Taylor for such a wonderful interview.
