Late Laughs

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

America made it to the end of another week, so TGIF! Which, of course, now stands for “This government is fascist.” I’m kidding, it really stands for “Tell God I’m furious.”

Why would anyone destroy a medical station? After all, America loves putting BandAids on deep-seeded racial problems.

Clear identification is how we hold law enforcement accountable, just like the waiters at Chili’s! I’m not eating a Triple Dipper from just anybody in a red polo shirt, I need to know his name is Chad!

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Eighty percent of voters feel that our country is out of control. Even crazier, 15% think that things are under control. When the Titanic was going down, these were the people trying to get a drink at the bar.

Mitt Romney marched with Black Lives Matter protesters. That’s like seeing the Wu Tang Clan show up at a Kenny G concert.

New York started Phase 1 of its reopening. Phase 2 is restaurants and bars. Then, after everyone packs restaurants and bars, Phase 3 is another three months of quarantine.

The long-running TV show “Cops” has just been canceled. So now if you want to watch a bunch of drunk people embarrass themselves, you’ll have to watch “The Bachelor.” Or “Real Housewives.” Or “Below Deck.”

Jimmy Kimmel Live

Thank you for joining me via the original form of social distancing — television.

There are now 1.7 miles of protective fencing around

Late Night With Seth Meyers

Trump asked Stephen Miller to write a speech for him about race relations. Stephen Miller? The guy behind the Muslim ban and putting kids in cages? You might as well ask Melania to write you a love letter.

Thirsty for more Season 2 of ‘NOS4A2’ continues on AMC

By Rachel Jones TV Media

The Season 1 finale of “NOS4A2” couldn’t have been more riveting: a maniacal immortal woke up from his coma, ready to feed on the souls of more children. While it was satisfying to see the show’s famous car go up in smoke, the show’s villainous vampire is indeed back in another thrilling season of this dark series. You can catch the second episode of Season 2 when it airs Sunday, July 5, on AMC.

The series is based on author Joe Hill’s third novel, also named “NOS4A2.” Hill’s first two books, “Heart-Shaped Box” and “Horns,” have already been snapped up by filmmakers, so be on the lookout for those bigscreen adaptations. “NOS4A2,” on the other hand, is perfect for the television treatment. It’s been given a two-season-and-counting run on AMC, the network that’s been home to mega-hits such as “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men.”

The show’s title is ominously

(Zachary Quinto, “Star Trek Into Darkness,” 2013) lures kids into the too-good-to-be-real Christmasland, where every day is Christmas and sadness is a crime. Of course, he rarely mentions the part where he devours most of each child’s soul.

Meanwhile, in Haverhill, Massachusetts, a townie named Victoria “Vic” McQueen (Ashleigh Cummings, “The Goldfinch,” 2019) must come to terms with her own supernatural powers. She can find answers and missing things just by riding her bike across an old, decrepit bridge called the Shorter Way. While crossing the bridge, Vic meets a medium named Maggie (Jahkara Smith, “Into the Dark”), who gives her an important mission: save the children from Charlie.

But somehow, Charlie can sense Vic’s presence and hopes to recruit her to the dark side. He and his new apprentice, Bing Partridge (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga,” 2020), track her down, and what followed was a gripping tale

old love interest, Jolene (Judith Roberts, “Orange Is the New Black”), and Vic’s childhood friend and secret admirer, Craig (Dalton Harrod, “Second Act,” 2018), have come and gone (in a blaze of glory), fleshing out the backstories of the main characters and proving that no one is safe in this series.

Ultimately, Season 1 ends in flames: after a major explosion, Charlie slips into a coma, but then, six months later, he is awoken once more.

Season 2 takes place eight years after Charlie regained consciousness. Vic is all the more determined to destroy Charlie, who is now seeking revenge and targeting the person who means the most to Vic: the 8-year-old son, Wayne (Jason David, “For All Mankind”), that she had with Lou Carmody (Jonathan Langdon, “Utopia Falls”). The fight over Wayne’s soul throws Vic and Charlie on a high-speed collision course, each determined to claim the boy at all costs.

So far this season, Vic has turned to Maggie to get in-

ing but dead ends. Perhaps one of the most important developments in this new season is that Millie Manx (Mattea Conforti, “Power”), one of Charlie’s “children,” has just uncovered a new dimension inside Christmasland.

“NOS4A2” is more than ready to grip audiences once more with its unique, otherworldly brand of awe. This horror series has hit a chord with viewers, and its fans are relishing in its dark and mysterious premise. While we loved seeing Charlie’s Wraith explode and watching the bad guy get what he deserved, we couldn’t be happier to see him return for this second installment.

Hill, the show’s writer and creator, comes by his penchant for the dark and creepy honestly. He’s the son of legendary horror writer Stephen King, who brought us such terrifying classics as “Pet Sematary,” “’Salem’s Lot,” “Carrie,” “Misery,” “The Stand” and oh so many more. While he may be the son of horror royalty, Hill has made his own way in the literary world and is no stranger to seeing his work on the small screen: if you haven’t watched book series “Locke & Key” definitely put it on your

WHAT’S NEW ON NETFLIX

“The Old Guard” (2020)

Charlize Theron (“Bombshell,” 2019) stars as a warrior named Andy who leads a team of immortal mercenaries in this action film premiering Friday, July 10, on Netflix. Based on the graphic novel of the same name by famed comic book author Greg Rucka (“Batwoman”), the film follows Andy, Booker (Matthias Schoenaerts, “The Danish Girl,” 2015), Joe (Marwan Kenzari, “Aladdin,” 2019) and Nicky (Luca Marinelli, “Don’t Be Bad,” 2015), who have been protecting the mortal world for centuries while managing to keep the fact that they are unable to die a secret. Now, they discover that a new immortal named Nile (KiKi Layne, “If Beale Street Could Talk,” 2018) has awakened and must be brought into the fold. However, while on a mission, the team’s secret is exposed, and now they must fight to stop those who hope to exploit their immortality by replicating their power and selling it.

“Mucho

Mucho Amor” (2020)

Described as a combination of Oprah, Liberace and Mr. Rogers, the life of Puerto Rican psychic and astrologer Walter Mercado

comes to Netflix in this fascinating documentary premiering Wednesday, July 8, on the streamer. Known also by his stage name, Shanti Ananda, Mercado was a staple in the Latinx community for decades before he seemingly disappeared without a word. Now, documentarians Cristina Costantini (“Science Fair,” 2018) and Kareem Tabsch (“The Last Resort,” 2018) shine a light on Mercado’s

life in seclusion leading up to his death in 2019. The documentary shows Mercado as he discusses his legacy and struggles with the increasing health problems that come with age. It also features interviews with many prominent figures in the Latinx community who were close with Mercado, such as Lin-Manuel Miranda (“Mary Poppins Returns, “ 2018) and Eugenio Derbez (“Overboard,” 2018). Learn about the life of this Latinx icon from his humble beginnings as a shy farm boy to his final flamboyant performance as the great Shanti Ananda with this fascinating new documentary.

“Stateless”

While many people know Cate Blanchett as the Academy Awardwinning actress from “The Aviator” (2014), or from one of the many other impressive titles on her resume, what many people aren’t as aware of is her passion for activism. Blanchett is actually an ambassador for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, and she combined her love of acting with her activism to create the new Australian miniseries “Stateless,” which debuts Wednesday, July 8, on Netflix. The series is inspired by true stories from an Australian immigration detention center and looks at the lives of four very different people on vastly different paths of life, all of whom end up in the detention center for one reason or another.

Sofie (Yvonne Strahovski, “The Handmaid’s Tale”) is a flight attendant who has escaped a subur-

WHAT’S NEW ON HULU

“Palm Springs” (2020)

Don’t miss the premiere of this unusual romantic comedy when it comes to Hulu on Friday, July 10.

Andy Samberg (“Brooklyn NineNine”) stars as Nyle, a carefree man attending an upscale wedding in Palm Springs. There, he meets Sarah (Cristin Milioti, “How I Met Your Mother”), the bride’s (Camila Mendes, “Riverdale”) reluctant maid of honor, when he jumps in and saves her increasingly awful toast. As the two begin to bond, they inadvertently disrupt the wedding proceedings. While this may sound like a standard rom-com, the film actually takes an existential twist as Nyle and Sarah find themselves trapped in the venue unable to escape the wedding or each other.

WHAT’S NEW ON APPLE TV+ “Little Voice”

New York,” “Little Voice” follows Bess as she struggles to find her voice amidst the chaos of family issues, love interests and rejection. While finding her own voice is hard for Bess, even harder still is finding the courage to use it. Don’t miss the premiere of this series, which embodies Bareilles’ meaningful lyric “sometimes a little voice can say the biggest things.”

“Greyhound” (2020)

ban cult; Cam (Jai Courtney, “Divergent,” 2014) is a father looking to move on from a dead-end job; Ameer (Fayssal Bazzi, “Down Under,” 2016) is an Afghan refugee who just wants a fresh start with his family; and Clare (Asher Keddie, “Offspring”) is a government official just trying to do her job. Blanchett has commented that she hopes to create conversation in people’s homes about immigration and highlight “the loss of people’s identity when they are faced with long-term detention” with this compelling six-part series.

“Japan Sinks: 2020”

Given the chaos that has occurred in the first half of 2020 — wildfires, a pandemic, protests, etc. — it seems oddly appropriate for Netflix to be premiering this science fiction disaster series on Thursday, July 9. Based on the 1973 bestselling novel by Sakyo Komatsu, this new anime series follows a family living in Japan when a massive natural disaster strikes. While tsunamis and earthquakes are relatively common in the island region, the family has never seen anything like this as a series of earthquakes causes the country to literally start sinking. Over the course of this 10-episode series, we see the family struggle to first find each other and then work together to survive the mayhem erupting around them. From director Masaaki Yuasa (“Devilman: Crybaby”), don’t miss the premiere of this topical anime series.

Following the success of her sixth studio album — which earned her a Grammy — and a starring stint on Broadway in the musical “Waitress” — for which she wrote the music and lyrics — singersongwriter Sara Bareilles lends her musical talents to a new venture as one of the creators of this musical series, premiering Friday, July 10, on Apple TV+. Brittany O’Grady (“Star”) takes the lead as Bess King, a twentysomething performer struggling to make it as a musician in New York City (which I’m sure is deeply relatable for many dreamers). Described as a “love letter to the diverse musicality of

With movie theaters unable to open due to the current pandemic, many major films have had to change their premiere plans, and “Greyhound” is no exception. Originally slated to premiere in theaters over the Father’s Day weekend, this World War II drama will instead be premiering Friday, July 10, on Apple TV+. Academy Award winner Tom Hanks (“Forrest Gump,” 1994) takes the lead as both the writer and star of this thrilling drama based on author C. S. Forester’s “The Good Shepherd.” Set in 1942, the film follows Commander Krause (Hanks), a first-time captain, who is tasked with leading a convoy of Allied ships across the North Atlantic to deliver thousands of young soldiers to the front lines. As he faces his first crossing of what became known as the “Black Pit,” he and his crew have more to handle than just the bitter cold and harshness of the sea. They soon find themselves in a treacherous battle with surrounding Nazi U-boats and must make it to the coast in order to give the Allies a fighting chance.
