Eric McCormack enjoyed a sweet hometown homecoming this past Monday in Toronto at an “In Conversation” event hosted by the Canadian Film Centre. The 59-year-old Emmy winner was on stage with Zoomer magazine editor-in-chief Suzanne Boyd (above, right) before a well-vaccinated crowd assembled at the downtown Toronto Varsity VIP cinemas.

The Kominsky Method returns for a third and final season Friday on Netflix. Michael Douglas is back as aging and raging acting teacher Sandy Kominsky. No longer by his side is his best friend and agent Norman, played by Alan Arkin. Now, I’d still watch a film with just Stan Laurel and not Oliver Hardy,
Sarah Paulson was queen of the virtual press tour scene Tuesday, helping to promote the upcoming Netflix drama Ratched.

Sunday’s 76th Annual Golden Globes was truly a star-studded affair. Too bad the opening monologue was such a bust. Co-hosts Andy Samberg and Sandra Oh (above) walked on stage at the Beverly Hilton and performed what seemed like the worst Saturday Night Live sketch ever. Smug irony just doesn’t sell anymore in 2019, not with
My favourite new show of the past year stars one actor in their seventies and one in their eighties. No, not Grace and Frankie (although that would qualify; Lily Tomlin is 79 and Jane Fonda is 81). I’m talking about The Kominsky Method, a lovely late-in-the-year surprise from Netflix. All eight episodes are currently available
