1. The Elysian Theater is now 2 years old and proof positive that the terrible two’s are only a thing for humans. Happy B Day!
2. Saoirse Ronan will play a teacher who goes too far in trying to being a good teacher (and it kind of works) in her latest project Bad Apples. In fact, it kind of ups the ante from Another Round where teachers get drunk to become “better” teachers (Deadline).
3. Paul Reiser & Steve-O are both set to come with live stand-up specials in the not so distant future. Steve-O’s is set to come out next month through his own website (Deadline) and Paul Reiser is set to tape his just a week before Steve-O’s release. Considering Paul’s role Reboot (an immersion in peak meta, inside baseball comedy these days) and Steve-O once hosting an advice show where he was driven around in van due to having his driving license suspended, we’re so very thoroughly curious what angle will be played here.
4. Celeste Barber gives an honest and tender announcement (as it should be) of the cancellation of her show Wellmania by Netflix. We wouldn’t be shocked in the slightest if the “numbers” she cites here as the reason her show got cancelled has anything to do with “taste clusters”.
5. We’ll leave you with this: On this Halloween, remember, that the world is a scary place as is. Have some grace, whatever you can spare, for others and yourself.
