‘Conversations with Friends’ cast talks messy relationships and conversation starters

May 13, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Conversations with Friends takes the “it’s complicated” relationship status to a whole new level.

The Hulu adaptation of Sally Rooney’s debut novel, from the same team that brought us 2020’s Normal People, follows the intersecting relationships between four people. Alison Oliver and Sasha Lane play best friends and exes Frances and Bobbi, who become entangled with a married couple, Nick and Melissa, portrayed by Joe Alywn and Jemima Kirke.

“I was really interested in kind of, I guess, the dynamic between these four characters and how, you know, when one shifts how it affects all the others,” Oliver says of what drew her to the story.

It’s a four-way affair of sorts, which Alwyn and Oliver can only describe as “a mess.” “I guess it’s a really productive ‘love mess,’ in a way,” Oliver laughs.

One thing’s for sure — the show is definitely a conversation starter. So what conversations are the cast hoping to spark when people watch?

“I hope maybe they’re, like, sitting with their partner and they’re like, ‘Would you ever…?’ And I just want to see how that one unfolds,” Lane says.

“I would like to see people have the F***, Kill, Marry conversation after they watch this,” Kirke adds, laughing.

Conversations with Friends debuts this Sunday on Hulu.

Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo to star in and produce new comedy series

May 13, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo are set to star in a new comedy series from Disney’s Onyx Collective.

Unprisoned, created by relationship author Tracy McMillan, is inspired by McMillan’s own life. It follows a relationship therapist and single mom, played by Washington, whose life gets thrown for a loop when her father, played by Lindo, gets released from prison and comes to live with her and her teenage son.

Washington and Lindo will also serve as executive producers on the eight-episode series.

“From the moment Tracy McMillan brought this project to [my production company] Simpson Street, we knew that it had the potential to be provocative, groundbreaking and life-affirming,” Washington says in a statement. “I love this show. I love these characters and the stories that they inspire. And I’m extremely excited to be working, once again, with both Onyx Collective and ABC Signature and honored to be collaborating with this talented group of creative partners.”

Washington previously produced the Onyx legal drama Reasonable Doubt.

Unprisoned marks the first scripted comedy series from Onyx. It will be streamed exclusively on Hulu in the U.S.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News.

Pregnant woman shot dead in car, newborn in critical condition: Baltimore police

May 13, 2022 by WDNY Radio

(BALTIMORE) — Baltimore police are searching for the gunmen who killed a pregnant woman, leaving her newborn in the hospital in critical condition.

Officers found a man and a 38-year-old pregnant woman shot inside a car at about 8:13 p.m. Thursday, Baltimore police said.

Both victims were taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where the man was immediately pronounced dead, police said.

The woman gave birth and was pronounced dead a short time later, police said.

The newborn is in critical condition as a result of the emergency delivery, not the shooting, Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison told reporters.

Police said they believe at least two gunmen fired multiple shots.

The suspects’ car pulled up next to victims’ car as it was parking, and one person fired out of the passenger window into the victim’s car, police said. Authorities believe the second gunman then got out of the driver’s side and fired into the victim’s car, police said.

“To be quite honest and frank, I don’t really give a s— what the conflict was,” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott told reporters. “We cannot have folks shooting at pregnant women in our city.”

Harrison called it a “very, very violent, brazen assault.”

He added, “We will do everything within our power to find who did this, catch them and hold them accountable.”

Katy Perry reveals she’s been going to couple’s therapy with Orlando Bloom

May 13, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Katy Perry revealed one way she keeps her relationship with fiancé Orlando Bloom healthy — couple’s therapy.

Appearing on Chelsea Handler‘s Dear Chelsea podcast, Katy fielded a question from a fan wanting to know how she can stop yelling so much at her boyfriend.

The “Roar” singer’s initial advice was to take “three deep breaths” before speaking. “I know it sounds also like a cliché,” Katy admitted, adding, “I know what it’s like to have been yelled at as a child,” and insisting shouting at someone is “not going to work.”

Katy then shared, “Orlando and I do couple’s therapy, and we love it because it keeps us in tune, and the resentment can get really strong when you’re both working hard.”

Noting how things are different when one’s in the professional spotlight, Katy said, “when you want to come back to being normal in a domesticated world where you have a child and stuff like that, you have to really learn how to be kind of different out there in the big and in the small. And so we’ve had a lot of success with that couple’s therapy.”

Katy also spoke about her 2017 breakup with Bloom, admitting it came during “the worst year of my life” because she had to “evolve and grow” into a better person. Katy credited going through the Hoffman Process — a week-long retreat designed to eradicate negative habits and behaviors — for helping her get to a space where she was ready for that kind of relationship.

“It profoundly changed my life,” she said.

Katy and Bloom share a daughter, Daisy Dove.

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross guest on new song from jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez

May 13, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Nine Inch Nails‘ Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross guest on a new song from jazz drummer Antonio Sánchez.

The track, titled “I Think We’re Past That Now,” features a vocal performance from Reznor that shifts from an eerie whisper to a more forceful delivery, while Ross provides the main synth line. You can listen to it now via digital outlets.

Aside from working with them on the same song, Sánchez has another thing in common with the NIN duo: they’ve all composed music for film. Reznor and Ross, of course, have scored movies including The Social Network and Soul, while Sánchez provided the percussion-heavy soundtrack to the film Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), which won Best Picture at the 2015 Oscars.

Nine Inch Nails, meanwhile, just returned to the stage last month to play their first live show since 2018. Their next scheduled concert takes place at Florida’s Welcome to Rockville festival on May 22.

Apple TV+ teases animated film ‘Luck’, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Jane Fonda, Simon Pegg and more

May 13, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Just in time for Friday the 13th, Apple TV+ teases the star-studded animated film Luck. The teaser has Simon Pegg voicing Bob, a black cat who welcomes viewers to the Land of Luck.

It’s here, you see, that luck is partitioned out to our world, both good and bad — but don’t put that on the black cat himself. Bob explains that in his native Scotland, black cats are good luck.

Instead, the magical creatures of Land of Luck work behind the scenes, like the critters in Monsters, Inc., to affect the human world. However, when a human lands there — also a la Monsters, Inc. — things go awry.

Sam, the unluckiest girl in the world, voiced by theater vet Eva Noblezada, accidentally ends up in Luck, with comedic results.

The film, which also stars the voices of Oscar winners Jane Fonda and Whoopi Goldberg, as well as The Suicide Squad‘s Flula Borg and Free Guy‘s Lil Rel Howery, debuts August 5 on Apple TV+.

Post Malone teases he and Bob Dylan have “been chatting”

May 13, 2022 by WDNY Radio

Are Post Malone and Bob Dylan planning to collaborate? According to Posty, the legendary singer slid into his DMs and the two have “been chatting.”

“I have not met Bob Dylan, but we have been — Um. I don’t know how much I’m at liberty to discuss — but we’ve been chatting… We’ve chatted,” Malone said Thursday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “He kind of slid in my DMs.”

The “Circles” singer didn’t reveal any details about what the two have been talking about, but he says being able to talk to one of his icons is an “incredible” experience.

“He’s the best! He’s so fun” Post raved. “Always appreciated the music and appreciated the songwriting.” He also revealed he has a Bob Dylan tattoo on his left arm.

Post also revisited his old YouTube channel, where he — with no visible tattoos — went by his birth name, Austin Richard Post. Only one video remains on the account: a 2013 cover of Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right.”

“My original plan was… I think I was 16-something, but I was like, ‘I’m gonna do a bunch of covers, and we’re gonna see if anybody likes them,” he told Fallon. “We did some Bob Dylan, and I think that’s just about it, but I recorded a bunch that I never uploaded.”

Post also teased his forthcoming album, Twelve Carat Toothache, which drops June 3. Post credits the album for reviving his love for making music after a three-year slump. “For the longest time I lost my passion for making music. I lost the drive,” he explained. “And one moment that snapped and said, ‘You know what, this is why I’m here, and this is what I want to do. This is what I was meant to do.'”
