Rating: R Stars: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Malcolm McDowell, Sarah Burns, Richard Roundtree, Catherine Dent, Marcel Nahapetian Writer: Paul Weitz Director: Paul Weitz Distributor: Roadside Attractions Release Date: March 17, 2023 Clearly, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin enjoy acting together. Almost the moment they wrapped their Netflix comedy series GRACE AND FRANKIE after five seasons, they star in two movies together, last month’s 80 FOR BRADY, and now MOVING ON. MOVING ON is a few shades darker than Fonda and Tomlin’s other collaborations. In other hands, the material might be stark drama, but writer/director Paul Weitz puts a gentle, bemused […]Read On »

They are joined here by […]Read On »

Ernie Hudson is currently on three series.

GRACE AND FRANKIE: Co-creator Marta Kauffman on her Netflix comedy – Interview

In Netflix’s GRACE AND FRANKIE, now streaming its full thirteen-episode first season and preparing for its second, Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin star as the title characters. Grace is very uptight and Frankie is very free-spirited. The two have baffled and tolerated each other for decades because their husbands, Grace’s Robert (Martin Sheen) and Frankie’s Sol (Sam Waterston), are law partners. It would be an understatement to say that Grace and Frankie – and their grown children – are thrown for a loop when Robert and Sol announce that they’ve been in love with each other for twenty years and […]Read On »

Showtime’s dark comedy series WEB THERAPY, which just wrapped up its first season on SHOWTIME, started life (appropriately enough) on the Web in 2008 before making the jump to premium cable. The show deals with Fiona Wallice, played by series co-creator Lisa Kudrow, who has re-invented herself as a therapist who does sessions in short bursts over the Internet. Alas, Fiona is a terrible listener and her advice is generally insensitive and inappropriate. What would make someone behave the way Fiona does? Well, we get some clues from her mother Putsy Hodge, who is played by multi-award-winning actress Lily Tomlin. […]Read On »
