Interview with Megan Peta Hill of “56 Days” on Prime by Suzanne 3/16/26
It was so lovely speaking with Megan, who plays the sister of Ciara (Dove Cameron). She’s very sweet. We had a nice chat about the show. It’s a twisty thriller with some romantic/sexy overtones. Check it out!
56 Days follows Oliver and Ciara, who, after meeting randomly in a supermarket, fall for each other fast, and dangerously hard. Fifty-six days later, homicide investigators arrive at Oliver’s apartment to find an unidentified body—brutally murdered and intentionally decomposed. Did he kill her? Did she kill him? Intercutting between an intense single day in the present investigation and the twisted trajectory of the young lovers’ affair in the past, the series is both a unique crime story and a riveting, sexy, psychological thriller.
A NOTE FROM THE CREATORS:
Dear Viewer,
Thank you for watching 56 Days! Our sexy, propulsive thriller is closely based on the novel by Catherine Ryan Howard. However, our adaptation exchanges pandemic-era Dublin for present-day Boston. Please note, the series is not a COVID-related project and does not take place during the lockdown.
We hope you enjoy the show!

Interview with Josh McKenzie of “The Hunting Party” on NBC by Suzanne 3/6/26
It’s always great to speak with Josh. He is very nice and laughs easily. I appreciate anyone who laughs at my jokes! 😆 Seriously, I love his role on this series because he’s always right in the thick of the action, but he’s also a good dramatic actor who can show all of the emotions needed for this part. He has a lot of story coming up, where we learn more about his past. Don’t miss it! It airs Thursdays on NBC or Peacock. This show is so fun to watch because the story moves fast, there are lots of killers and conspiracy, and the characters are riveting.
The Hunting Party is a high-concept crime procedural about a small team of investigators led by former FBI profiler Rebecca “Bex” Henderson (Melissa Roxburgh). They’ve been assembled to track down and capture the most dangerous killers the world has ever seen, all of whom have just escaped from “The Pit,” a top-secret government prison that’s not supposed to exist.
But as Bex races to catch these killers before it’s too late, she’ll discover that the one thing more twisted than the dangerous fugitives she’s chasing is the prison itself that they just escaped from…because “The Pit” wasn’t just a prison.
The cast also includes Nick Wechsler, Patrick Sabongui, Josh McKenzie and Sara Garcia.
Co-showrunners JJ Bailey (creator) and Jake Coburn are writers and executive producers. Thor Freudenthal is director and executive producer. Michael Jones Morales is writer and executive producer.
“The Hunting Party” is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group.
Josh McKenzie is currently starring in NBC’s The Hunting Party alongside Melissa Roxburgh, renewed for a second season 2026.
He previously appeared in La Brea for three seasons and starred in the latest season of the acclaimed Australian anthology series The Twelve. Before that, he starred in the hit Australian drama Five Bedrooms.
His other notable credits include roles in the international series The Shannara Chronicles and Netflix’s The New Adventures of Monkey.
Josh first gained recognition in his native New Zealand with his breakout performance in the feature film Hopes & Dreams of Gazza Snell, earning the country’s top honor for Outstanding Feature Film Debut.

Interview with Daisy Head, Amethyst Davis, Hannah James, Rob Morrow, Robert Knepper, Christopher McDonald, Sam Trammell, and Keith David of “The Gray House” on Prime by Suzanne 2/4/26
I really enjoyed speaking with the actors from this entertaining miniseries. Head, Davis and James star in this story, which focuses on strong women in Richmond, Virginia, before the Civil War as they fight for freedom and against bigotry and misogyny of all kinds. Morrow plays a Jewish lawyer/senator; McDonald plays a Pinkerton spy; Trammell plays Jefferson Davids; and David is an eloquent pastor who travels around, inspiring blacks. It’s a large, talented cast.
I loved watching Rob Morrow in his previous roles, especially “Northern Exposure” and “Numb3rs.” Sam Trammel was one of my favorites in “True Blood.” Christopher McDonald and Keith David are TV/movie legends that I’ve interviewed a few times before. I’m very happy to interview with the women, who lead this action-packed miniseries. I wish I could have a longer interview with Daisy Head, but it would probably be embarrassing because her father is Anthony Head, whom I adored so much in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer!” 🙂 I hope you enjoy it! It begins today, Feb. 26, on Prime.
The Gray House reveals the extraordinary true story of the unsung women who helped turn the tide of the American Civil War in favor of the Union. At its center are a Virginia socialite, her indomitable mother, a formerly enslaved ally, and Richmond’s most infamous courtesan—four women operating at the heart of Confederate power. Together, they evolve their Underground Railroad operation into a daring and highly effective espionage network, risking their lives and freedom to help preserve the nation’s future and safeguard American Democracy.
The eight-episode limited series features a standout ensemble cast led by Emmy winner Mary-Louise Parker, Daisy Head, Amethyst Davis, and Emmy nominee Ben Vereen, with original music from Lainey Wilson, Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Killer Mike, Yolanda Adams, Jon Bon Jovi, and more. It is written by Emmy-nominated writer Leslie Greif, Darrell Fetty, and John Sayles, with all eight episodes helmed by Academy Award–nominated director Roland Joffé.
The Gray House also stars Paul Anderson, Ian Duff, Hannah James, Robert Knepper, Christopher McDonald, Colin Morgan, Rob Morrow, Colin O’Donoghue, and Sam Trammell, with Keith David. The Republic Pictures limited series is from Territory Pictures, Revelations Entertainment and Big Dreams Entertainment, and is executive produced by Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, Lori McCreary, Rod Lake, Howard Kaplan and Leslie Greif.

The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
The writers are going overboard manipulating the audience into thinking Gwen is the villain when it comes to Dimitri and Leo. Were we supposed to forget that Dimitri was the one who used Gwen to get an inheritance? He was also the same one who cheated on her with her best friend. Now that she wants to make Dimitri pay for what he did, she is suddenly the villain? Don’t get us wrong. Gwen is a villain. She’s just not one in this storyline. No matter how annoying the writers make Gwen, she is not the bad guy. Dimitri deserves everything Gwen does to him and more. We don’t sympathize with him just because he fell in love with Leo and can’t be with him. It serves him right that he can’t be with Leo after what he did to Gwen.
Trey’s christening was missing some people. Johnny didn’t have any of his relatives at the christening. It’s not like he doesn’t have family in Salem yet none of them were there. The writers came up with a way to explain some of his family being missing, but didn’t explain why the rest of them weren’t there. Roman, in particular, should have been at the christening. There was no mention of him being out of town the way Marlena and Belle conveniently were. The christening may have been short notice but that doesn’t justify why people weren’t there.
Javi showed that he has a bitter side. He refused to listen to Leo when he tried to save their marriage. Javi must have forgotten that he was the one who told Leo to go to Dimitri. Leo did what he wanted him to do. He chose Javi but it wasn’t enough for him. We know the writers had to come up with a reason to write Javi’s character off the show, but they could have done a better job than that. Javi could have left town to be with his father and still stayed married to Leo. We read that Javi’s character was getting recasted so there was no reason to have him break up with Leo.
Is anyone else sick of watching Stephanie play the victim in the stalker story? We know she’s being targeted, but we find ourselves rooting for the stalker. She doesn’t seem to care much about her life being on the line. All she’s worried about is having sex with Alex. She doesn’t even appreciate the efforts Steve is doing to protect. He put his life on hold to make sure she was safe, but all she whines about is wanting to be alone with Alex. Steve should leave the apartment and let the stalker get Stephanie. We know he wouldn’t do that because he loves her, but it would serve her right if the stalker got her. The stalker story isn’t a bad story, but they put someone in the story that we don’t care about. We like how Steve is involved in the story, but he’s not in it enough.
We were proud of Chad for standing up to Jennifer when she told him to stay away from Cat. Jennifer had a lot of nerve expecting him to follow her orders in order for him to keep his children. We understand that she has issues with Cat, but she didn’t have the right to tell him who he should see. Chad shouldn’t be with Cat after what she did to him but it should be his decision whether or not he wants to be around her. Jennifer is lucky he hasn’t tried to keep the kids from her. If he wants to be petty, he could take the kids on a private island and keep them from her. He chose to let Jack and Jennifer be in the kids’ lives yet that’s not enough for Jennifer. She wants to control him as if she has more of a say with the kids than he does. We enjoyed watching tell her that he would fight her for the kids if she didn’t agree to his terms.

Having taken a long hiatus from Y&R, I recently decided to start watching it again.
After two weeks of watching the show, here are my initial impressions (just my humble opinions) in no particular order… just random musings:
Love, love, love the great Roger Howarth’s spin on the dastardly character of Matt Clark!
Billy + Sally = one big yawn fest, no chemistry, boring.
nuNoah … I must admit, I was skeptical about this recast because I did not particularly like him as Tripp on Days of our Lives and had been very invested in the previous actor’s portrayal of Noah. However, from the moment I first saw this Noah, I’ve been liking his take on the character very much. I also think there’s great chemistry between him and Sienna.
nuCane … I wish I could say the same about this recast, but it’s basically the opposite. I loved him as Chad on Days, but I cannot buy into him as Cane on Y&R. Watching scenes with Cane, all I see is the actor trying his best to become the character, but not coming through. IMHO, he and the storyline would have been better served if he had been cast as a brand new character with a troubled past connection with Victor Newman and his family, who came to Genoa City to take Victor down.
I’m enjoying the “womance” between Sally and Audra. It’s so refreshing to see a genuine friendship (BFF’s, bonding) between two women, rather than the usual soap rivalry, bitterness and all that goes with it. The scenes with Sally and Audra at Society on Thursday 1/15/2026 (when Audra gave Sally support and suggestions about Sally’s challenging relationship with Billy) were heartwarming.
Love how Newman sibs Adam, Nick and Victoria are all getting along and united against Cane and Phyllis’s attack on their family legacy.
Shout out to Joshua Morrow – I anoint him my Performer of the Week for 1/12/2026, for his portrayal of Nick. His performances were riveting in many ways, especially how he has been capturing the severe physical pain his character is in (from the breaking his fibula in his recent car accident). It seemed like every time Nick winced and grimaced in pain, I could feel his suffering.

Interview with actors Sandro Rosta, Kerrice Brooks, George Hawkins, Bella Shepherd, Zoë Steiner, Karim Diané, Robert Picardo, and Gina Yashere, and showrunners/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Noga Landau of “Star Trek: Starfleet Academy” on Paramount+ by Suzanne 1/7/26
I can’t tell you how much fun these interviews were. This is a very exciting Trek show, and I love these actors. I was especially excited to speak with Robert Picardo and Gina Yashere because of their previous work. The new series drops tomorrow, January 15, 2026 on Paramount+! If you loved “Star Trek: Discovery,” you should love this one as well.
STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY will premiere with two episodes on Thursday, January 15 on Paramount+ in the U.S. Following the premiere, new episodes of the 10-episode-long season will drop weekly on Thursdays, with the season finale on Thursday, March 12.

Was it just us or did the holiday episodes not feel too festive? They had the annual Horton tree trimming ceremony, but it didn’t feel like the holiday season. The Brady family didn’t interact much at all. We didn’t see the Carvers celebrating either. John’s absence should have been felt more since his family was celebrating their first Christmas without him. Marlena talked about him with Roman briefly, but that wasn’t enough. They needed more to make it feel like Christmas. We have our personal reasons why we don’t want to watch too many things that celebrate the holidays but that’s Days’ tradition. The writers decided to bypass it skip to New Year’s Eve. Most of the fans want to see the traditions that made the show appeal to the audience. Hopefully they will remember that next year.
Speaking of the holidays, did anyone else want to throw up during Stephanie and Alex’s scenes? We definitely did. They only cared about jumping in bed. She has a stalker after her, but she was more worried about going to bed with Alex. They got mad because Steve was there to protect her. Stephanie and Alex need to get their priorities straightened out. If the stalker attacked them, they wouldn’t be together anyway. They could handle not having sex if it meant that she would live. If that weren’t disgusting enough, we had to endure Alex proposing to Stephanie. We were ready to hit the fast forward button for those scenes. If you haven’t watched it yet, we are doing you a favor.
Johnny and Chanel faced another obstacle in their relationship. They dropped bombs on each other. Johnny was going to keep running the company, and Chanel was pregnant. Let’s start with Johnny’s news. Chanel wasn’t happy about his news. She felt like he was choosing the company over the family. He explained that he was staying until Theo got better. His reasoning didn’t help. She was still upset with him. Chanel overreacted to him working for DiMera enterprises. He could make extra money for their family. Chanel was also mad about his reaction to her pregnancy. He wasn’t over the moon about the news. Johnny was worried that her cancer would come back. It made sense to be concerned if the baby was at risk or if she could die giving birth. Chanel gave him the cold shoulder and reminded him that it was her body, and her choice. She has a point too, but she should understand why Johnny’s afraid for her to have the baby. The story has potential to be drama filled, but we know the writers will drop the ball on it. It’s a story that would leave you feeling two-sided about it.
Javi and Leo had their wedding ceremony. As long-time fans know, there aren’t too many weddings that go off without a hitch. Their wedding was no exception. Leo was missing for a little while. He showed up and they continued with the ceremony. In true soap opera fashion, Dimitri showed up. Javi was insecure about Dimitri, and he suddenly showed up looking for Leo. Is this the start of another love triangle? Kudos to the writers for treating Javi and Leo’s wedding like any other ceremony on the show.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
-The pub wasn’t decorated when Gabi and Theo were shown there. It was suddenly decorated when Steve and Kayla were shown.
-Why would the DiMera staff decorate the mansion when the family disappeared? Most of the family was missing so there was no point decorating the place.
-Susan wasn’t giving the person she called a chance to respond before she started talking.
-Javi wore a mask one minute, but it was off the next. Speaking of Javi, why would he stand near Alex without wearing a mask when he thought he was contaminated by a toxin?
-Steve offered to move in with Stephanie and Alex. It would have made more sense for Stephanie to move in with Steve and Kayla instead. The stalker might not know where they live.
Tuesday
-Gabi touched the lid on her pot without an oven mitt. The steam could be shown from under the lid so it was hot.
-Rita botched up. She called Rafe “detective,” but he’s not part of the force anymore.
-Trey was in the living room with Chanel and Johnny when Paulina arrived, he wanted to check on the baby. When did they take Trey out of the room?
Wednesday
-Tate was in Marlena’s living room one minute and walking in the room when Belle came home.
-Belle gave Marlena clothes that didn’t normally wear. The clothes didn’t fit her right so they clearly weren’t hers.

Thursday
-What are the odds that the person who kidnapped the DiMeras had clothes for them? They also had access to water since they aren’t dirtier than they are.

Friday

-Chanel was talking while Roman and Johnny were shown.

-Why would Brady walk around wearing a towel when he knew he was staying at the Kiriakis mansion?
-Why would Chanel antagonize EJ if she thought he was responsible for kidnapping his family? He had no reason not to take care of her next.
-EJ didn’t know Jada was going to be at the mansion, but he knew to get the room cleaned up.

Lucas, EJ, and Rafe had a little meeting about Sami. It was a meeting with her ex-husbands. Seeing them together was a good thing. We weren’t sure how to feel about their scenes, but they were surprisingly good. The conversation was one way to keep Sami on our minds while she’s gone. EJ and Rafe were snarky with each other as we expected. They sniped at each other while they talked about Sami’s engagement. We must admit that it was funny watching them go back and forth. The scenes didn’t last long, but they were funny to watch. There hasn’t been too much to rave about on the show so we’ll take what we could get at this point. We enjoy watching Rafe onscreen, so the scenes worked out for us.
Speaking of Rafe, Gabi showed a side of herself that didn’t annoy us. She accomplished something that’s not easy for her. Gabi annoys us beyond belief at points, but she showed a sensitive side twice. Let’s start with Rafe. She listened to him while he talked about Sami. Gabi didn’t make the conversation about herself. She praised him without talking about herself. We liked how she told him that the woman had to be worthy of him. She wasn’t wrong about that. Rafe is a good man and deserves to be with a special woman. We wish the writers would cast McKenzie Westmore as his new love interest. She played Sheridan on Passions. McKenzie Westmore played Galen Gerring’s love interest on the soap. They had amazing chemistry and should reunite. Gabi also sympathized with Sophia. Arianna complained about Sophia’s actions. Gabi told her about her life as a teen mother. We applaud the writers for trying to remember the history of her character. Gabi needed to have another heart-to-heart conversation because they don’t interact much. We will take scenes where Gabi humbles herself and remembers her family. Her scenes usually consist of her strutting around Salem like she’s the Queen Bee. It’s good to see her be there for her family.
We will shift gears and talk about a potential couple building on the show. Theo and Jordan went out on a date. The writers tested the waters by having Jordan and Theo get to know each other. It was nice to see a potential couple start from the early stages. They asked each other questions about the things they like. The couples on the show look at each other one minute and jump into bed the next. They don’t take the time to get to know each other. It’s hard to root for couples who get together overnight without taking the time to build their stories. The writers chose to take their time with this story, and we think that might be a good move. We may address this again at some point to see if we still feel that way. Hopefully we won’t regret that decision. We know the writers don’t show them often so we won’t hedge our best just yet, but we will see how it goes with them.
Speaking of the writers trying to start a new couple, are they going there with Brady and Sarah? Brady seemed like he was jealous when Xander talked to him about Sarah. He talked to Brady about trying to be a better man for Sarah, but Brady seemed more interested in lashing out at him. He also accused him of working with Kristen until Xander told him that he was there to see Marlena. Brady’s face practically fell when he told him that he wanted to prove himself worthy of Sarah’s love. He has been spending a lot of time with Sarah lately, so we know what that means. Brady will fall for her, and she will most likely dump him. He tends to fall in love, but his relationships don’t last. If Rachel has her way, this new relationship won’t be different from the others in the past. Let’s move on to Rachel.
Rachel was heated when she saw Brady hugging Sarah. She definitely didn’t like the idea of her father moving on with Sarah. It’s strange that she felt that way because she liked Sarah, but she doesn’t want her with Brady. Rachel became upset enough that she decided to do some digging on Sarah. She found out that Miss Perfect Sarah did a shameful act when she was born. Rachel discovered that she was kidnapped and that Sarah took her. She wasn’t too happy about it. Rachel went into DiMera mode and tried to take her out. She found out that Sarah had an allergic reaction to pistachios and decided to plot against her. She gave Sarah pistachio in her ice cream, and she had an allergic reaction to it. Rachel tried to stop her from eating the ice cream, but it was too late. Sarah ate it and could have died. Rachel needs help in the worst way. She lives with a psychiatrist, but she’s getting worse by the minute. Rachel is truly turning into a DiMera.

Rachel has turned into the bad seed of Salem. The girl is truly evil. We know she is half DiMera, but she belongs in a horror movie. She talked Thomas into attacking Cat with a pumpkin. We are not fans of Cat buy that’s out of line. They used a contraption to launch a pumpkin at her. The problem with her plan is the Cat didn’t get hit. They hit Alex. Rachel deserved to be grounded. She was acting like she didn’t do anything wrong. Alex could have died from that plan. Brady needs to get tough with her because she is a demon child. Thomas wasn’t any better going along with Rachel’s plan. Chad should have yelled at Thomas for what he did. Thomas thought he had the upper hand by being mad at Chad, but it didn’t take long for him to mess up.
Are the writers setting up a mystery? There was someone in the town square who tried to stab Alex. The person was dressed like Jeremy, but his face wasn’t shown. They could have shown Jeremy’s face since he was dressed as a scientist like the person who tried to stab Alex. Alex threatened Jeremy so we wouldn’t be shocked if he tried to kill Alex. Hopefully the writers will do something with that story and not drop it. We love mysteries, and we’re hoping that it won’t be a letdown. Unfortunately, we’re not expecting much from this story, but we would like to be wrong.
Chanel and Johnny practically rubbed it in Leo and Javi’s faces that they were adopting Tesoro. They knew that Leo and Javi were taking care of him so they didn’t have to rush to snatch him up. Chanel and Johnny should have been more sensitive to their pain. It’s bad enough that she threw her weight around to get the baby, but she didn’t do a better job hiding her joy from them. We know she struggled to get Tesoro, but she should have waited until she was home to express her happiness. Leo and Javi were heartbroken because they lost the baby. We were pleasantly surprised to see Leo be serious. He usually makes jokes, but he showed a vulnerable side. We enjoyed his performance. The writers should have Leo show this side more often.
Speaking of Johnny and Chanel adopting Tesoro, do the writers hate Roman? He’s being treated like an afterthought when it concerns Johnny. Johnny wanted to name the baby after John. It’s nice that he wants to honor his memory, but what about Roman? Roman is his grandfather too, but his role in his life has been downplayed for John. He should have been invited to Johnny and Chanel’s place to see the baby. Marlena and Paulina were there to celebrate the news. Why wasn’t Roman invited? He had to find out about Tesoro from Paulina.
Does anyone else want to see Xander go after Sarah with a vengeance? Are we the only ones? We hope that’s not the case. Sarah was mean to Xander when he wanted to spend some time with Victoria. Xander ran into them outside of the pub, and she was very mean when he tried to speak to Victoria. We understand that she’s mad at him, but he is still the girl’s father. He has a right to talk to his daughter if he wanted to do it. Sarah is being very bitter towards him and punishing him by not letting him see his daughter. We would love to see Xander go back to his old ways and remind her why he was a bad guy. She’s punishing him because he is perfect like she claims to be. Sarah messes up too so she shouldn’t judge Xander so harshly. She just showed him that he can’t tell the truth about anything. Xander should have kept the truth from her because she wouldn’t have found out what he did. Philip was going to keep his secret. We understand that the writers want to redeem Xander and turn him into “Honest Abe,” but he needs to change to teach Sarah a lesson.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
-Sarah’s flashback could be heard before it was shown.
-It’s funny how Sarah felt she could throw Xander out of his family’s house as if it were hers.
-Did we miss something? When did Xander lose his position at Titan? Maggie decided to take his position from him.
-It’s strange that Cat was the only one dressed up for Halloween.
Tuesday
-Jennifer’s knocking could be heard before she and Chad were shown.
-JJ should have known that Theo wouldn’t approve of him staying on the force. He didn’t need validation from Theo that it was okay to take a leave of absence.
-Chad could be heard talking while Xander was shown.
-Sarah sat on the floor of the rage room where she broke glass. She could have been cut sitting down on the glass.
Wednesday
-How old is Stephanie when she told Julie about her relationship with Jeremy “all those years ago?”
-Paulina could be heard talking while Abe was shown.
-Why would Julie refer to her cousin by his full name? She called him Jeremy Horton when she talked about him with Steve and Kayla.
Thursday
-It was too easy for Aaron to find out the paternity test results so fast. He didn’t have to go to the doctor’s office to find out if he was a fire.
-Chanel acted as if she and Johnny couldn’t adopt another baby. She was obsessed with adopting Tesoro
-Speaking of the adoption, Johnny was the reason why he and Chanel didn’t get Tesoro in the first place. He kept trying to be reasonable with her about the situation as if it weren’t his fault that they didn’t have the baby.
Alex was with Stephanie one minute and with Jeremy the next
Friday
-Chanel cried without any tears.
-Felicity wasn’t anywhere to be found at the Halloween festival, but Cat said she carved a pumpkin.
-Susan was able to sense that Stephanie’s murder mystery novel would come true, but she didn’t get a vibe that she wrote One Stormy Night.

Interview with star Drew Van Acker and director Jaco Bouwer of the film “Orion” by Suzanne 10/27/25
This is a smart, twisty, psychological thriller as well as a scifi movie. If you like good scifi, or suspenseful dramas, you should enjoy this. Drew Van Acker plays an astronaut, caught up in some intrigue, and he is interrogated by a mysterious person, played by Andrew McCarthy. I can’t tell you more because of spoilers. Just know that the description below is not entirely accurate, due to the twists and turns in this movie! I really enjoyed it, especially the great ending.
The interview, unfortunately, had many technical problems (at least for me). The video came out fine, but near the beginning, the sound went mostly out, and nothing I did fixed it. I apologize to the director, whose name I mispronounced throughout. I take full responsibility for the tech problems because I was on my phone instead of my computer. Bad choice on my part! Both gentlemen were very kind, though, as were the PR women helping me.
The movie is showing at various film festivals, so go see it if you can! ORION had its World Premiere at FilmQuest on Saturday, October 25th, and will have its International Premiere at Triste Film Festival November 1, 2025

RUN TIME
96 minutes
LOGLINE
ORION is an intense, sci-fi thriller about a Nasa Interrogator (Jim) tasked to help an amnesiac astronaut (Apollo) recover his memory in order to determine “who” or “what” killed the rest of the crew before they crash landed back on Earth.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT BY JACO BOUWER
When I received Orion’s script, it inspired me to create a film that continually kept the audience guessing at what the hidden truth might be, and therefore, on edge – not just through narrative twists, but brought about by the tension of what is not being said.
Orion is a meditation that hinges on the delicate balance between trust and doubt, and endeavours to celebrate all forms of language – spoken, cinematic, and experienced.
I grew up in South Africa, a country with 12 official languages, where realities of communication, translation, and misunderstanding are part of daily life. A cacophony of meaning and intent – which felt so relevant in the making of this film.
Together with production designer(Mike Conte) and cinematographer(David Kruta) we were able to conceptualise, design and build the sets together and so the world building was a unique way of development for me which reminds me of my theatre work and processes, embracing the concept of single location as referenced in some of my previous work. To be able to largely shoot in continuity also really helped the actors and myself arcing out their emotional journeys. To have enough time to develop the language and score tonality was a privilege in collaboration with long-time collaborator and composer Pierre-Henri Wicomb.
Of course, the production could only be brought to full fruition with the presence of our actors, Drew Van Acker, our Apollo – who himself has invested a great deal in the project – and the sharp intellect of Andrew McCarthy, with a nuanced performance and inescapable gravity to the mysterious Jim. Debbie Ryan with all her layers completes the lead ensemble.
The film navigates those unspoken spaces where meaning is unstable, and unpredictable, the film explores how language – intended to connect us – can also conceal, distort, and betray us – even more relevant than we could have possibly anticipated, with the onset of more authentic AI models, and the advent of more believable fake news, propaganda, begging to question the agenda of a current geopolitical landscape, in social media and speech of a global community.
It is a privilege to make films in a language other than my own, and in another country so far removed from what I grew up with – the process truly resonating on a deeper level as far as the scope, comprehension, and possibilities of communication and language could anticipate.
PRODUCER STATEMENT BY SUNIL PERKASH
Orion was initially an idea Drew Van Acker and I had, based on his love of space and our collective passion for great science fiction films that both entertained and explored humanity in a clever way (Star Wars, Total Recall, Inception etc…) We also were very interested in finding something that was all about the LANGUAGE of filmmaking. Rear Window and even Sleuth (Caine/Olivier) were two great films that relied on filmmaking -acting, camera, lighting, sound etc…- to transcend from their sparse locations. With that in mind, we went to the writer we had previously developed a script with, Anne Vithayathil. She had lived in India and US before settling in US from high school on, and with a degree from Dartmouth and Masters at Stanford, she had studied in Eastern Europe and loved all things spy related and had studied spy tactics in the 1960s, specifically how to use words as a weapon and manipulation.
Our goal was to tell a story that played out like the Russian Mystroishka doll!
Once the script was finished and we met with a number of wonderful directors that had enthusiastic takes on the material. But when we met with Jaco Bowser, something magnificent happened. In telling us the film he saw in his head, we realized, this was no longer our film, but his film we were about to be so fortunate to be a part of. Jaco had a knowledge of filmmaking that was impressive, as much as the most experienced directors I have worked with but perhaps because budgets are so low in South Africa, his approach was very humble and very specific. Needless to say, he instantly wowed us. He closely supervised an additional draft – specifically to fit his vision and ideas for the film, always balancing the spoken word and what was left unsaid.
With our day-to-day partners, Elle and Scott Army – who were critical in helping with financing, a true labor of love for them. Raising independent financing is just impossible today, I analogize it to asking a friend for a ride to the airport for a 2am flight!
Yet…all four of us (Elle/Scott/Drew and I) were able to find collaborators who believed and were even inspired by the vision Jaco and we all had for Orion.
We sponsored Jaco’s visa and working with renowned casting director Avy Kaufman and Leeba Zakarov, we found the perfect Jim in Andrew McCarthy. Jaco felt he had both an extremely affable and cerebral quality, crucial to mine to give Jim all the enigmatic complexities he required. Debby also connected deeply with the existential aspect of the material, and given how cherubically guileless her vibes were, Jaco also felt she would bring all he hoped to Mary, submerging the audience in a woman’s struggle to save her husband (even though…that was not at all what was going on.)
We then set out to make our film, another fortunate thing happened. By not having the mega budgets of my past Studio Films like Enchanted and Salt, it inspired all of us to find ways to stretch our budget, led by Jaco’s unwavering defiance to never compromise the story. He always used his creativity and imagination to find solutions that seemed to always be much more inspired than had we had the mega studio budgets to solve them without that process. And in the end, Jaco and the entire cast and crew found themselves meticulously using the language of filmmaking to tell a story that explores the nature of language in the world we live in today.
ACTOR-PRODUCER STATEMENT BY DREW VAN ACKER
Ever since I can remember I was driven by imagination. The idea of different people, different places, and different times all coming together to create “reality”. Movies, for me, were just that. A journey into the possible.
I’ll spare you my ENTIRE story, but a few years back, I started searching for and developing my own material through producing. It was something I had always been interested in, not just as a performer, but as a fan of story telling.
With “Orion”, I wanted to tell a story that combined my love of science fiction and my ever-present fascination with our communication as a species. It wasn’t until I saw a masterful turn in filmmaking, from a director out of South Africa, that I knew. He had to be the one to help tell this story. That film was “Gaia” and that director was Jaco Bouwer. “Gaia” transcended what I thought a film could be at that budget range. And that was exhilarating. THAT was what I wanted to be a part of. To be challenged. Afraid. Open…
My character, Apollo, is a man living in his very own multiverse of emotions and truths. Which, I realized during this process, we all are. Each scene allows him to explore the possibility that he isn’t as righteous as he wished to believe. He’s scared, troubled and anxious to peel back the onion. He’s confronted with having to find a way to believe his own lies in order to pass them as “truth”. Something all of us deal with on one level or another.
I was blessed when given the opportunity to explore these layers alongside two selfless individuals. Andrew McCarthy and Debby Ryan. I remember walking into the set and seeing Debby for the first time. I remember watching Andrew rehearse. I was being confronted with performances that were so honest, I had to question my own. I think that was a bit of a theme for me here, not only as an actor, but as a man. Facing my fears and doubts that I had long ignored.
This film is cerebral. That’s what makes it sparkle in my opinion. That “drive home” conversation type of movie. Talking about what you just saw. What motivated the characters? Who figured it out first? Truly moved by the honesty of what you witnessed. And that is where I want to be as an artist and a producer. A small part of stories that make people think. Make them talk to each other. Make them wonder…what’s POSSIBLE??

Interview with Christopher Gorham of “Sheriff Country” on CBS by Suzanne 10/13/25
Christopher Gorham is working hard right now. He’s on three different TV shows: “Tempest” on HULU/Disney+; “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” on CBS (continuing the role of Scott, Mandy’s ex-boyfriend, from last season); and the new series “Sheriff Country,” also on CBS (where he plays Mickey’s ex-husband, Travis). The last show is his main one, and it’s a spin-off from the popular Friday night show, “Fire Country.” Mickey (played by Morena Bacarin), is the sister of Sharon on “Fire Country,” and there will be more crossovers between the two shows.
Watch our interview and learn all about the three shows, and Christopher’s work on them. He’s very nice, and an amazing actor. I was thrilled to speak with him, frankly. Check out his shows – especially the new one, “Sheriff Country!” It premieres Friday, 10/17. “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage” season 2 starts Thursday, 10/16 (both on CBS, but you can also watch them on Paramount+ the next day.) “Tempest” has already premiered on HULU. Two new episodes drop each Wednesday. Also, please watch the video below and enjoy!
SHERIFF COUNTRY stars Morena Baccarin as straight-shooting sheriff Mickey Fox, the stepsister of Cal Fire’s division chief Sharon Leone (Diane Farr of FIRE COUNTRY). She investigates criminal activity while she patrols the streets of small-town Edgewater, contending with her ex-con father, Wes (W. Earl Brown), who is an off-the-grid marijuana grower, and a mysterious incident involving her wayward daughter. SHERIFF COUNTRY is an expansion of the universe of the hit drama series FIRE COUNTRY.
Premieres Friday, Oct. 17 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

Interview with Dani Deetté of “The Runarounds” on Prime Video by Suzanne 10/1/25
I had such a nice chat with Dani, and we bonded talking about TV shows and dogs. I love this show, “The Runarounds,” so much. I hope it gets another season because I’m hooked on it. I loved William Lipton on “General Hospital,” and he’s the star of this show. What makes it really cool is that this was a real-life band before they made the series (which is not based on real life), so all of them are really singing and playing.
Dani has been in many shows and movies, and she also had a whole other career before becoming an actress! She’s pretty amazing. Her dog is adorable, too. Hope you can watch the show and enjoy our video interview.
Dani Deetté was born and raised in Battle Creek, Michigan. She graduated from the Honors College at Michigan State University with a major in Criminal Justice after spending her senior year abroad at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. Dani got her start in law enforcement after deciding at age 15 that it was the path for her, but after several years in the field and having grown up performing she chose to pursue her creative side – making the transition into TV and film full-time.
Dani booked her first role on Greenleaf TV series after moving to Atlanta and dove into the industry full force. She is most known for her recurring roles as super soldier Gigi on Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, Sheriff Kim Reddick on Netflix’s hit show Ozark, and Rori Barnhill in Season 3 of the USA Network show, The Sinner. She can also be seen in several guest star appearances including Tulsa King, Matlock, FBI: Most Wanted, and NCIS: New Orleans. Recently Dani was in On Swift Horses with Daisy Edgar Jones, in Adam Sandler’s Happy Gilmore 2 and her upcoming projects include Amazon’s The Runarounds, and For All Mankind on Apple TV.
Now she mentors and coaches other actors and travels bicoastally. Dani is also a passionate environmental and mental health advocate, and often pulls from real life experiences for her work. In her free time she loves spending time in nature with family, friends, and animals – especially her with her do,g Link.
The Runarounds follows a group of recent high school graduates from Wilmington, North Carolina, who come together the summer after graduation to form a rock band, united by their shared love of music and near-impossible dream of stardom. Over the course of one unforgettable summer, they throw themselves into the pursuit of their big break—falling in love, getting into trouble, and building the kind of bonds that feel like family along the way. With original music, romantic entanglements, and the raw highs and lows of coming-of-age, The Runarounds captures the rush of risking everything at the edge of adulthood to chase your dreams.

Susan let Marlena know that Stefano was dead. We’re not sure who we feel about this storyline. It gives Marlena something to do after writing Drake Hogestyn (RIP) passed away. On the other hand, we’re not sure if we could watch Marlena go through this storyline again. She seems like she’s being possessed by Stefano’s spirit. We’re glad that Susan made the announcement that Stefano was dead because we have closure on the story. Susan isn’t a certified medium so we can’t really take her word for it. If she’s telling the truth, it will give the story the closure it needs. The writers don’t focus on the story that much so it would be hard to invest in it more. Again, we are glad that Marlena would get something to do instead of being window dressing for her clients. Deidre Hall is the backbone of the show and deserves to be involved in a major storyline. We just don’t know how we feel about her being involved in resurrecting Stefano to make the storyline happen.
Let’s shift gears and talk about another storyline that seemed to resurface. As you know, JJ shot Theo when he was in Salem before. Theo seemed very upset that JJ was reinstated as a police officer. The writers could be on to something with this storyline. They don’t have any other story like it on the show. However, the writers seem to think all the viewers forgot how their storyline ended when they left the show. Theo and JJ were working together when they left. Fast forward, and Theo hates his guts again. We are all for stories that are controversial as long as they are consistent with the story. They have been hit and miss with this storyline. The writers don’t focus on the story much so it’s not that easy to stay invested in it. We enjoy it when we do see it. Theo and JJ need a storyline and this might be the one that helps make things interesting for Days. The storyline doesn’t require people coming back from the dead or mind control. It deals with controversial drama and could turn into the sleeper storyline of the year. Theo wanted to get JJ thrown off the force because he believed he’s racist. JJ didn’t help his case by approaching Theo the way he did during the blackout. He treated Theo like he was a criminal when he yelled at him about being out during the blackout. JJ changed his tune once he found out who he was but that didn’t make it okay. Are the writers making JJ a racist cop? We’re interested to see what they do with this storyline. Unfortunately, the writers tend to drop the storyline whenever the feel like it so it would be hard to invest in the story when it only pops up occasionally.
Here’s a question for everyone. Are Belle and EJ really over this time? Belle has said many times that she didn’t want to be with EJ anymore, but she got back together with him. She got stuck in an elevator with him and told him that she regretted being with him. EJ raped her sister (Sami) and went after her father, but she still wanted him. He did everything he could to ruin her family, but she stayed with him. EJ did something that hurt her and now she wants to break up with him. He was always a schemer, so he didn’t change. The only thing that changed was that she was affected by his actions. We’re not fans of his character, but he didn’t do anything that bad for her to decide that she didn’t want to be with him anymore. She acted as if she was embarrassed by him. Everyone knew she was dating him so why would she be mad that he announced it? Belle changes her mind all the time so we don’t believe that she plans to walk away from him. The writers shouldn’t have forced them together in the first place. We know that EJ couldn’t wait around for Sami forever since she appears sporadically, but they didn’t have to put him with her sister.
It finally happened, readers. Stephanie’s non secret is out of the bag. We don’t want you to get too excited about it. EJ and Kayla know the truth about Stephanie’s alter ego. She was dumb enough to use her mother’s computer to host her q&a session with her readers. EJ thought that Kayla was the writer which meant Stephanie had to step up and admit she was the author. We’re not interested in the storyline, but we’re thankful that there was some movement. The story might not be as bad if the execution were better. Stephanie’s storyline doesn’t make us want to rush to the TV to watch it, but it might be better if another character were the focus of it.
Sophia’s plotting went into overdrive. She tried to destroy two couples with her scheme. We’ll start with Johnny and Chanel. She wrote a letter implying that Johnny was sexting with Holly. The social worker wasn’t happy about it and ended the interview with them. Chanel was upset with Johnny because she blamed him for losing her dream again. He denied sexting with Holly, but she didn’t believe him at first. Sophia didn’t care that she could have caused problems for them. Chanel wanted her baby the first time around, but she wanted to ruin her marriage any way. Luckily for Johnny, Chanel was willing to believe him. They were able to make up after Sophia’s scheme. Sophia had another target in mind. She went after Holly and Tate. Sophia drugged Holly’s drink and took pictures of her body so it looked like she was sexting Johnny. Sophia violated Holly by doing that. She made sure that Arianna saw her with Tate. Tate was responsible for that because he thought he could seduce Sophia and not get caught. Sophia’s plan to destroy Holly’s life worked because she dumped Tate for cheating on her again. He didn’t cheat on her because they weren’t together when he was with Sophia. Sophia truly is a villain because she keeps getting away with her actions. She shouldn’t have been able to get into Holly’s phone so easily. What are the odds that Holly told her the password of her phone? We don’t buy that at all. She needs to get caught and it might just happen after all.
Brady found out that Tesoro isn’t Tate’s son. We couldn’t believe that much movement happened. Kayla told him that the baby didn’t match Tate. We were worried that it might mean that Sophia would get away with what she did. Hopefully Brady won’t give up searching for the truth. We’re glad the writers finally added him in the story because he’s the only one who suspects that something is off with Sophia. Steve was suspicious too, but he’s not really involved in the storyline. We can only count on Brady wanting to investigate Sophia’s story. Hopefully she will get caught soon because she keeps getting away with too much.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
Sophia has gone crazy over a child she didn’t want. She stormed into Melinda’s office ranting because Johnny and Chanel wanted to adopt Tesoro. Sophia didn’t want them to adopt her baby. She wanted them to adopt the baby before, but she changed her mind. Sophia wanted to do anything to stop them from taking her baby. We’re on the fence about how we feel about the way the story is being written. The writers don’t want to make Sophia sympathetic. She never feels torn about giving up her baby. Sophia didn’t want him to be around her so she wouldn’t get caught for what you did. On the other hand, Sophia got her hopes up when she thought Johnny and Chanel were going to take her baby, but he changed his mind. She had the right to be mad because he promised to take the baby while she was pregnant with him and changed his mind. Johnny expected to get the kid just because he and Chanel feel ready to adopt again. We like how there’s some drama involved in their storyline, but it requires suspension of belief to watch it. Sophia had to take on the villain role to make the story more interesting. If everything worked out, we would be bored beyond belief. The drawback to the story is that we must endure watching Holly and Tate more. No offense to the actors, but they don’t do enough to make the story worth watching. Sophia was willing to destroy Holly and Johnny to get what she wanted.
As we said, we are torn about the story with Sophia, Tate, and Holly. Why was it so easy for Sophia to hear and see everything she wanted without anyone suspecting anything? Sophia conveniently overheard Johnny talking to Holly, and it gave her the idea to write to children’s services to let them know that Johnny wasn’t a fit parent. She also knew when to arrive in Holly’s room to spike her drink and take seductive pictures of her. Sophia keeps getting away with the things that she’s done. She’s also a weak actress so watching her try to pull off the type of character she’s become is a challenge. The actress isn’t strong enough to pull off the vixen role. She needs more work with the acting coach to get meaty stories like this one. The acting coach might be able to help her downplay her acting so she wouldn’t be over-the-top.
What message do the writers want to send to the audience? Do they want us to think it’s okay to hit someone that you are dating? It seems like that’s what the writers want when it comes to Holly and Tate. Holly thought Tate cheated on her with Sophia, so she punched him. We were shocked to see that happen. The head writers are women, and they allowed domestic violence to happen on their watch. If the shoe were on the other foot, Tate would have been a monster for hitting her. It’s not okay that she chose violence instead of her words. Holly carried on with her life as if she didn’t hit Tate. It would have meant more if Holly said anything about what she did to Tate. She acted like she was right to do it. We don’t agree with that at all. She was completely wrong to hit her boyfriend. He needs to walk away from her for good.
The Kiriakis family had to accept defeat when Tony got the best of them. Tony demanded that they give up Titan/DiMera, or he would destroy the family. The Kiriakis family had a meeting to discuss what their options were. They ended up arguing until Maggie arrived. She gave them a pep talk to motivate them Maggie and Tony had a scene together. It was nice to see legends working together. Tony called Maggie out for thinking it was okay for her family to take his family’s company, but he was supposed to let them have Titan when they took his family’s company without hesitation.
There was a blackout in Salem for no reason. It would have been nice if the blackout helped tie up storylines. Unfortunately, nothing was resolved during the start of the blackout. Blackouts usually happen when forbidden romances are brewing, or the wrong people get together. Xander and Sarah were the only couple to have movement in their story during the blackout. They finally realized that they should apologize to each other for the way they treated each other. Xander and Sarah should have made up before. The reunion is jaded because Sarah wanted to make things right with him because she thought he didn’t attack Philip. She will dump him again when the truth comes out.
The opinions in these articles are those of the writer and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of TVMEG.COM or its other volunteers.
-Sarah was talking to Rafe so when did she have time to examine Tesoro?
-Should Tate really be in a class that Johnny is teaching? Did the writers forget that they are related?
-Arianna told Sophia that she made out with Holly’s boyfriend again. Holly wasn’t dating Tate when Sophia was with him.
-The writers have rewritten Holly and Tate’s relationship. Holly said Tate cheated on him again, but he didn’t cheat on her. He broke up with her because she was targeting his father.
-Holly punched Tate in the face, but he didn’t have a bruise on his face. She didn’t have a bruise on her hand.
Tuesday
-Maggie was talking to Tony one minute and with the Kiriakis men the next.
-Why did Cat expect Chad to be happy about Mark getting paroled when he tried to kill him?
Wednesday
-Kayla and Stephanie could be heard talking before they were shown.
-Johnny and Chanel were putting the cart before the horse by babyproofing their apartment before they got the child.
-Abe could be heard talking while Theo was shown.
-Foster (the bookstore owner) was hurt, but no one at the bookstore reacted to it besides Julie.
-The cup that Arianna gave Holly was empty.
Thursday
-Arianna and Holly were talking while Cat and Chad were shown.
-Holly and Arianna shouldn’t be in Johnny’s class since they are linked to him one way or another.
-Sophia conveniently overheard Johnny’s conversation with Holly. He wasn’t talking that loudly, but she was able to hear his conversation.
-Sophia wasn’t typing on her computer as fast as she was thinking about what to write.
-It couldn’t be that dark in the rooms in Salem because everyone was able to see each other and didn’t bump into anything.
-Sophia was able to take good pictures of Holly during the black out. She didn’t use the flash on her phone to light up the picture.
Friday
-It’s hard to believe that Titan didn’t have a backup generator

Interview with director Andreas Zerr of the film “Sane Inside Insanity” by Suzanne 9/11/25
Speaking with Andreas about his “Rocky Horror Show” documentary was fascinating. I’ve enjoyed the cult movie and its music since the 70’s. It’s worth watching his film, whether you’re a fan of the play/movie/album or not. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 50 years since it was first out… The first half of the doc focuses on the development of the play and movie, and the second half is all about the fans (particularly the “shadow casts,” who dress up every weekend in RHPS costumes and relive the movie).
If you didn’t live through that era, it might be hard to imagine it, but the movie was very shocking at the time to many people who were not comfortable with the LGBTQ+ community (or anyone who dressed in costume, for that matter). Younger people often embraced it. From what I’ve seen, Rocky Horror Fans tended to be either part of that LGBTQ+ group, or they were scifi/horror fans. Both groups know what it’s like not to fit in (especially back then).
I didn’t dress up for Rocky Horror, and I only saw the movie a couple of times, but I had friends and family who really got into it and went to the midnight showings in San Diego often. This happened all over the world.
SANE INSIDE INSANITY, the unofficial, unauthorized and unbiased documentary about The Rocky Horror Picture Show, 50 years after it became an unlikely cult classic!
Few films have had the cultural staying power of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. What began as a quirky stage play in 1970s London became a global phenomenon that reshaped film, fashion, punk, musical theater, and even the early LGBTQIA+ movement.
Set for release on September 25, to coincide with the film’s 50th anniversary, SANE INSIDE INSANITY, chronicles Rocky Horror’s unlikely rise through never-before-seen interviews and rare archival footage. Rather than a documentary full of platitudes, director Andreas Zerr’s film offers a warts-and-all approach that is as much a celebration of the cult classic as it is a critique about the unhappier and more serious parts of its story.
Andreas and his team spent more than a decade capturing candid conversations with the original cast and creative figures, including Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell, Barry Bostwick, Jim Sharman, Sal Piro, Richard Hartley and Sue Blane— and many others who had never shared their stories on camera until now.
The film goes beyond nostalgia, examining Rocky Horror’s role as a cultural lightning rod. It shows how a low-budget production not only survived but thrived for over five decades, captivating millions around the world. Filmed across the UK, Europe, Australia and the United States, the journey concludes in New York City—the birthplace of Rocky Horror’s legendary midnight screenings.
BIO: Andreas Zerr is known for SANE INSIDE INSANITY – The Phenomenon of Rocky Horror (2025), Nussbraun (2010) and Bali: 1000 Faces of an Island (2013).
Born in Hamburg, Germany, in February 1971, he began his career as a marketing manager at Apple from 1999 to 2002. Driven by a passion for creativity, he transitioned into the film and television industry as a freelance editor. His talent and dedication quickly earned the trust of his clients, who encouraged him to take on roles as a producer and director. In 2012, Andreas founded his own production company “PIXELGALAXIE”, which he successfully managed until 2020. After selling his shares of the company to his long-term business partner, he returned to self-employment, focusing on producing and directing his own films and documentaries. Today, Andreas continues to bring compelling stories to life with his expertise and vision.
Interviews with Annabella Sciorra, Jay Will, Martin Starr, Garrett Hedlund and Bella Heathcote of “Tulsa King” on Paramount+ by Suzanne 9/15/25
This is a very good show, even though I’m not a big fan of mobster shows or movies. The actors are fantastic (including star Sylvester Stallone), and there’s a lot of superb writing for the stories and characters, as well as action. They do an outstanding job of showing the characters caught up in the criminal world and how it affects their lives.
The actors answered my questions very well last week, and I enjoyed speaking with them. It was an honor to speak with Annabella Sciorra and the rest….but of course, it would have been nice to speak to Sylvester Stallone again. Not all “stars” leave a noticeable absence in any room, but he always does. He’s the titular king as well as the main character and star. He’s a busy guy, though, so I’m not surprised I didn’t get to speak with him a second time. Don’t miss the premiere tomorrow, 9/21/25 on Paramount+!
TULSA KING follows New York mafia capo Dwight “The General” Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone), just after he is released from prison after 25 years and unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa, Okla. Realizing that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds a “crew” from a group of unlikely characters, to help him establish a new criminal empire in a place that to him might as well be another planet.
