January 10, 2015 Barb Oates

It’s not often that a cast panel can weigh on your emotions, but tears filled some of our eyes at the Television Critics Association’s Winter Press tour as AMC and Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner shared a “road to the finale” video montage that captured the emotion of the series’ last seven seasons (less the final episodes). The images were played along to Paul Anka’s “Times of Your Life” and served as a timeline to showcase the last 10 years of these characters’ amazing journeys. The final seven episodes of Mad Men begin on Sunday, April 5 at 10pmET/PT on […]

In August of 2013, millions of fans strapped in for the final eight episodes of the Emmy Award-winning series Breaking Bad from mastermind Vince Gilligan and took the ride of their lives, witnessing the dark, dark descent and crumbling of almost every single character. The only certainty at that point was that one character would see an afterlife, and that was Walter White’s “two-bit, bus-bench attorney” Saul Goodman, played by comedy great Bob Odenkirk. Gilligan had announced just a few months prior to the final episodes of Bad that he and writer Peter Gould would be developing a spinoff series, […]

Interview with Hayley Atwell (A.K.A.) Marvel’s Agent Carter

January 2, 2015 Gerry Strauss

Marvel’s Agent Carter starring Hayley Atwell begins on ABC Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 8pm ET/PT. Imagine this pitch meeting between Marvel and ABC: “Let’s do an eight-part series about a supporting character from one of our earlier films … a woman with no superpowers. By the way, it’ll take place in the 1940s.” In any other world, this idea would sound ludicrous. Thankfully, Marvel isn’t just any other world, and Agent Carter isn’t just any other show. “She’s a very relatable character,” says London-born Hayley Atwell, who first breathed life into Peggy Carter on the big screen in Captain America: […]
