Tonight, the hilarious sitcom Lopez vs Lopez returns to NBC for all new episodes in season two. The series stars George Lopez and his daughter, Mayan Lopez, as fictionalized versions of themselves. Selenis Leyva stars as Rosie, Mayan’s mother and George’s ex-wife. In the series, George moves in with his daughter after his moving company goes bankrupt, but the two have been estranged for most of her teenage years, so they have to work to build their relationship while learning more about each other. Al Madrigal also stars as Oscar, an employee of George’s who often shows up stoned. 

In season two of the series, the whole family is affected when George battles sobriety. 

Last week, Lopez, Leyva, and Madrigal spoke with SciFi Vision about working on season two and what’s next for their characters, what they’ve learned working on the show, and what it’s like working with Lopez’s real life daughter.

***The following contains spoilers for the season finale***

I've been a fan of this series for a good, long while, and a writer for longer than that. I became a Richonner almost instantly in season three. It was a ship I didn't actually believe would come to fruition. Each year at SDCC in Hall H, I began to subtly inquire about this pair that electrified our screens. By season six, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) had consummated their relationship. For they and their family unit had been canon since season four. 

Fast forward to both Rick and Michonne's respective departures from the flagship series of The Walking Dead, a long drought, and then... 

The light. 

Gimple, Gurira, and Lincoln got together during that down time and worked out how the future for the Grimes would look. This evolved from features to a (now) limited series of six episodes. But more than that, they gave their fans damn near everything. The finale was no different.

American Rust, which is based on the novel of the same name by Philipp Meyer, originally premiered on Showtime in 2021. Season two, American Rust: Broken Justice, premiered yesterday on Prime Video, and picks up four months after the events of season one. This season, Del Harris (Jeff Daniels) and Grace Poe (Maura Tierney) struggle to rebuild their lives while also dealing with being apart more than they’d like, as Del is now working as a detective back in Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, in Buell, a string of seemingly unrelated murders take place, hinting that there may be a larger conspiracy at play.

Earlier in the month, when star Tierney spoke with SciFi Vision, she talked about how Grace’s circumstances change quite a bit this season when she’s given a gift from her son (Alex Neustaedter). “In a way, it's the same character with the same hang ups and the same flaws in a completely and utterly new set of circumstances,” the actress explained. “So, I think it'll be hopefully interesting to watch, and it was interesting to play.”

Directed by Thea Sharrock, Wicked Little Letters, which is based on a stranger than fiction story, takes place in a 1920s English seaside town that is rocked by scandal. The film follows two neighbors, conservative Edith Swan, played by Olivia Coleman, and the foul-mouthed Irish migrant, Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and others in the town receive wickedly insulting letters full of profanity, Rose is accused and charged. However, as she awaits trial, as the women of the town, led by female Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan), try to find the truth, they find that things may not be what they seem.

Recently, star Coleman spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the hilarious film, where the actress talked about giggling on set as well as playing both the comedic and serious parts. “I love humor that's delivered with a straight face,” Coleman told the site. “[I] love it when the character is trying to show something, but what's coming out makes it funny. I love those juxtapositions…It's more fun, I think, to try and play more than one thing at once.”

Although the film takes place in the 1920s, it feels very relevant to today with anonymous trolling on the internet, and during the paired interview, director Sharrock talked about the human need to hurt someone. “[I]t's quite interesting to reflect on how far we've come in 100 years, and how, in some ways, it feels like we haven't learned much at all,” said the director. “…We go through moments [with] actually almost needing to hurt somebody else. It’s like, there is a need. What I'm interested in is where that need comes from, what is that about in somebody that it brings that out in them?”

Ben and Mei, inseparable best friends, have reached their limit with Mrs. Wheeler and her harsh teaching methods. She's threatened to fail everyone unless the suspected cheater confesses, causing frustration to boil over. In response, Mei hatches a plan to set up Mrs. Wheeler for a crime she didn't commit: the murder of a former West Greenview High School student.

Their scheme unfolds in The Prank, a comedy/horror indie film that hit theaters on March 15th. This long-awaited release had its world premiere at SXSW in 2022 and boasts a star-studded cast including the iconic Rita Moreno, along with Connor Kalopsis, Ramona Young, Kate Flannery, and Keith David.

Boat Story recently premiered on Amazon Freevee. The six-episode series, which previously premiered on BBC One in the UK, follows two strangers, Janet (Daisy Haggard) and Samuel (Paterson Joseph) who’s luck suddenly seems to change when they stumble on a shipwrecked boat on the beach full of cocaine. The two decide to make a fresh start for themselves by selling the drugs and splitting the profits, but doing so starts a chain of events that bring the police as well as hit men and the sharp-dressed gangster  known as “The Tailor" (Tchéky Karyo)

Recently, stars Haggard and Joseph spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the darkly comedic series, including, what drew them to the project, connecting with the characters, working with prosthetics and effects and more. Note that there are spoilers for the first episode in the interview.

In the film The Neon Highway, which is now in select theaters, singer/songwriter Wayne Collins (Rob Mayes) was about to make it in Nashville when a car crash put an end to his dream. Seven years later, working as an electrician in Georgia, he meets Claude Allen (Beau Bridges), a washed up country music legend. After playing his original song for Allen, the two return to Nashville hoping to score a record deal, but things the industry has changed since Allen was last there, and no one is not interested. They are out of luck unless Wayne can find a way to outsmart the system and get the song released. 

Last week, stars Bridges and Mayes spoke with SciFi Vision about their work on the film, including why it spoke to them, what it was like singing live for the movie, what they’ve learned about themselves, what it was like for Bridges working with his son Ezekiel in the film, and more. 

Recently, the film Cabrini was released in theaters. The biopic comes from director Alejandro Monteverde and tells the story of one of most influential people of the 20th century, Francesca Cabrini. The film follows Italian immigrant Cabrini (Cristiana Dell’Anna), who after demanding an audience with the Pope himself (Giancarlo Giannini), moves with her group of nuns to the slums of New York City and makes it her mission to help society’s most vulnerable and ends up creating an empire of hope unlike anything before.

The director and Dell’Anna, as well as David Morse, who stars as Archbishop Corrigan, recently spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film.

Today the film 5 Lbs of Pressure premieres in theaters, on digital, and on demand. The action-thriller, written and directed by Phil Allocco, stars Luke Evans as Adam, an ex-con who just finished his parole after serving sixteen years in prison for murder.
