Cinema as television: Cuaron, Blanchett team up for Apple TV+ series ‘Disclaimer’
BY DANA SIMPSON
Whether consciously or not, fans of film and television are already familiar with the use of disclaimers. Often presented as a small blurb of text on screen at the beginning of a movie or the start of a show’s episode, disclaimers signal the validity of the story about to be told.
While the phrase “based on a true story” is a disclaimer in its own right, a denial of culpability such as “any resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental” is much truer to the spirit of the statement of legal protection.
In the case of the new Apple TV+ series, titled “Disclaimer,” the official news release flips the script and doubles down on its claims with the following statement: “Any resemblance to persons living or dead is not a coincidence.”
“Disclaimer” premieres Thursday, Oct. 11, on Apple TV+.
Based on the 2015 novel of the same name by English author Renée Knight, “Disclaimer” stars Cate Blanchett (“Tar,” 2022) as Catherine Ravenscroft, a journalist whose life is turned upside down one day by the appearance of a mysterious novel on her bedside table. Upon opening the book, Catherine comes to realize that she — a woman who has spent her entire career calling out the transgressions of others — is the main subject of the story and that the contents are far from
flattering.
With this damning creation now in her possession, Catherine “races to uncover the writer’s true identity” while being “forced to confront her past before it destroys both her own life and her relationships with her husband, Robert [Sacha Baron Cohen, “Borat,” 2006], and their son, Nicholas [Kodi Smit-McPhee, “The Power of the Dog,” 2021]” (per Apple TV+).
Described as a psychological thriller and limited series, “Disclaimer” is divided into seven episodes — to be viewed as chapters within the book — all of which are woven together to form an “overtly narrative” tapestry, according to series writer/ director Alfonso Cuaron (“Y tu mama tambien,” 2001).
“In television, you go A, B, C, D,” Cuaron told Vanity Fair while promoting the series. “In film, you find a way to go from A to D directly. Here it was about experimenting with something different. I have never done something so overtly narrative.”
Cuaron, whose directorial credits include “Roma” (2018), “Gravity” (2013), “Children of Men” (2006) and “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban” (2004), to name a few, is a fivetime Oscar-winning Mexican filmmaker. Somewhat surprisingly, given his slowly expanding TV resume — or perhaps not to
anyone familiar with his style in the industry — Cuaron has explicitly stated that he has no desire to learn the “proper” way to make television. Instead, he prefers to shoot series as if they were lengthy films.
“I don’t know how to do TV,” the “Disclaimer” creator expressed in the same Vanity Fair interview, “and I don’t think that at this stage, I want to really learn.”
This is more an admission of intent rather than an admonition against the series, however, as Cuaron’s style has proven to be more than sufficient time and time again with regard to his productions. As far as “Disclaimer” is concerned, the auteur says, “the shoot was very, very long,” which allowed him the attention to tone and detail for which he is well known.
The cast of “Disclaimer” also includes big names Lesley Manville (“The Crown”) as Nancy and Kevin Kline (“A Fish Called Wanda,” 1988) as Stephen, as well as budding actors Louis Partridge (“Pistol”), Adam Szabo (“Slow Horses”), Leila George (“Animal Kingdom”), Adam El Hagar (“Tyrant”) and South Korean supermodel-turned-actress Hoyeon (“Squid Game”) in recurring roles. CNN chief international anchor and renowned journalist Christiane Amanpour (“60 Minutes”) also appears in the series as herself.

“Bluey Minisodes” - New Episodes
(Oct. 7)
Bringing more tail-wagging fun and heartwarming stories to families, a new slate of “Bluey Minisodes” make their debut. Further exploring the beloved world of “Bluey,” the smash-hit Australian children’s series about the adventures of blue heeler pup Bluey and her family, these new shorts, running one to three minutes each, highlight funny and sweet moments featuring Bluey and Bingo, leaning into playful interactions and games.
Q: I was surprised to read that Gina Rodriguez will be joining “Will Trent” for its new season. Does that mean she won’t be doing the game show “Lucky 13” anymore?
A: That remains to be seen, at least as of the time this answer was written. The ABC and Hulu contest — for which Rodriguez and Shaquille O’Neal have shared hosting duties — recently ended its freshman season, and its future is still to be determined. Rodriguez has a particularly vested interest in that, since she’s also an executive producer of the program. One would think that her staying in the ABC family won’t hurt her chances of staying “Lucky,” so to speak, for future seasons. There’s some time for that to be decided, though, if the Las Vegas-based game remains a summer entry as it was this year. Also, it’s very conceivable that Rodriguez could do both “Lucky 13” and “Will Trent.” The latter series is expected to return for its third season early in the new year, and it’s in production now for that … whereas like most primetime game shows, a season of “Lucky 13” can be taped relatively quickly, over the course of a couple of weeks. Presumably, Rodriguez’s work on the “Will Trent” episodes would be finished by the time she was needed for the game again.

“Men in Black” came back, to mixed results
BY JAY BOBBIN
If there’s one lesson Hollywood never has seemed to learn, it’s to quit while it’s ahead.
The “Men in Black” concept yielded three movie blockbusters, and seven years after the last of those, its studio went back to the well to try to redevelop the series without most of the original team (Mistake One, usually) that included stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones and director Barry Sonnenfeld.
Released in 2019, “Men in Black: International” –which FX shows Sunday, Oct. 6, and Monday, Oct. 7 – has the requisite aliens and people in cool business suits saying cool things, but in trying to emulate what the earlier trilogy seemed to achieve so effortlesslythough the bountiful special effects obviously take a lot of effort - the latest chapter simply tries too hard. And it very notably lacks Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones, whose ideal teamwork was a huge factor in the first three pictures being such giant hits.
Instead of them, “International” offers Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson (reunited from “Thor: Ragnarok”) as ultra-secret government agents and new partners who have to stop a global threat from aliens, the same sort of case their movie predecessors had. The more immediate peril facing the duo is a pair of twins who can change their images at will,
giving the good guys all sorts of headaches.
Thompson, who also was the love interest in the “Creed” movies, fares rather nicely with what is the more original of the central roles. Hemsworth’s duty is to play Mr. Irresistible, or an agent who generally skates by on sheer charm — and most of his colleagues know it, so his comeuppance here entertains them while it rattles him. It’s pretty much a one-note part for Hemsworth, though, something ordinary in a story that relies heavily on the extraordinary.
F. Gary Gray is a solid action director, and his films (“The Negotiator,” “Law Abiding Citizen,” etc.) often have allowed for solid character development, too. However, his duty on “Men in Black: International” largely is engineered to hit notes similar to those that have entertained the series’ fans before. Within that spectrum, former “Love Actually” scene-sharers Emma Thompson and Liam Neeson are welcome presences here as superiors of the Men (and Woman) in Black.
Overall, though, “Men in Black: International” ultimately doesn’t have enough that was unique enough to restart the franchise. It’s an energetic attempt but, in the end, a bit too energetic for its own good.
Best ALFRED HITCHCOCK MOVIES
BY JAY BOBBIN
“The 39 Steps” (1935): The familiar Alfred Hitchcock theme of a fugitive wrongly accused of murder (played here by Robert Donat) got a workout in this early work by the legendary director. “Saboteur” (1942): Basically a spy story, this fast-paced effort culminates in one of director Hitchcock’s most memorable endings, putting a heroic Robert Cummings and not-so-heroic Norman Lloyd atop the Statue of Liberty.
“Rebecca” (1940): An Oscar winner for best picture, Hitchcock’s version of the Daphne du Maurier novel stars Joan Fontaine as the second wife of an enigmatic widower (Laurence Olivier).
“Suspicion” (1941): Working with Hitchcock again, Joan Fontaine earned an Oscar as a woman who thinks her new husband (Cary Grant) is trying to kill her.
“Rope” (1948): Cleverly staged by Hitchcock to look like it unfolds as a continuous shot, this drama finds two young killers (Farley Granger, John Dall) suspected of the crime by their former headmaster (James Stewart).
“Strangers on a Train” (1951): Two travelers (Farley Granger, Robert Walker) make a pact to get rid of someone for the other person in a tale that’s been retold in numerous variations.
“Rear Window” (1954): The production design is a star of this great thriller that keeps a light touch, as an apartment dweller (James Stewart) waylaid by a broken leg thinks he spies a neighbor (Raymond Burr) committing murder. Turner Classic Movies shows the film Thursday, Oct. 10, as part of a “Creepy Cinema” series.
“To Catch a Thief” (1955): Romantic sparks between Cary Grant and Grace Kelly, lovely French Riviera locales, and a fanciful cat-burglar story add up to viewing enjoyment.
“The Man Who Knew Too Much” (1956): Doris Day’s musical trademark, “Que Sera Sera,” was a byproduct of her starring with Hitchcock returnee Stewart as a couple forced into foreign espionage in a remake of Hitchcock’s own two-decades-earlier thriller.
“Vertigo” (1958): Obsession rarely has gotten as haunting a screen treatment as in this visually striking melodrama, with Stewart again the star as an acrophobic detective who falls under the spell of a friend’s wife (Kim Novak) he’s tailing.
“North by Northwest” (1959): A sensationally entertaining mix of adventure, humor and romance, this prolonged chase takes a businessman (Cary Grant again) from New York to Mount Rushmore, with James Mason as the main villain and Eva Marie Saint as a deceptive beauty.
“Psycho” (1960): Hitchcock’s achievement with the chiller that made people wary of taking a shower — thanks to the fate of Norman Bates’ (Anthony Perkins) motel guest (Janet Leigh) — is even more impressive in its capping of a three-year run of Hitchcock classics that couldn’t be more different stylistically. Television’s “Bates Motel” expanded on the premise here.
“The Birds” (1963): Rarely have electronic sounds been used more chillingly than in Hitchcock’s take on a Daphne Du Maurier story that puts a town under siege from our feathered, supposed friends.
Start making sense: Jesse L. Martin delves back into ‘The Irrational’
BY SARAH PASSINGHAM
It isn’t irrational for Jesse L. Martin (“Law & Order”) to be pleased about getting a second season for his latest series.
However, he continues to deal with cases that defy conventional logic as an internationally prominent behavioral psychology authority who assists law officers as “The Irrational” begins its sophomore round Tuesday, Oct. 8, on NBC. Each new episode will also stream on Peacock, starting the day after its NBC debut.
Washington, D.C.,-based Prof. Alec Mercer (Martin) knows criminal behavior from a close proximity, having suffered injuries in a church bombing many years ago. Martin says he relates very personally to his “Irrational” alter ego, reasoning that as an actor, “If you’re worth your salt in any way, shape or form, your whole job is to look at human behavior and reflect it, whether it be on stage or on film or small screen. On television, I’ve been doing that all my life. Kids do it with their imaginations every single day; they figure out how to behave like a monster or a police officer, and I do that as a career. I just didn’t have scientific terms for it coming up. Now I do.
“I can see it sort of from a scientific angle, but growing up as an actor training, it was always from sort of an emotional place: ‘It gets people to feel this way or feel that way, and what does that

“A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE”
The horror franchise developed by John Krasinski continues with this prequel, which also is a spinoff that he co-created and – as the title suggests – focused on the early stages of the invasion by sightless alien beings who rely on their advanced hearing to locate potential victims.
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o (“12 Years a Slave”) plays an ill woman who observes the arrival of the enemies in Manhattan, and she and others quickly discover the advantage of staying as silent as possible in order to survive … though their best efforts often are thwarted. The geography and landmarks of New York, certainly including its subway system, play big roles in the escape attempts by the human fugitives.

look like in the body?’ Now it’s sort of like I’ve got terms to describe it, so I feel a little bit smarter.”
Mercer’s work with the FBI has another element, since one of the agents is his ex-wife Marisa (played by Maahra Hill, “Delilah”), but his sister Kylie (Travina Springer, “Strange Angel”) and his university research assistants, played by “Partner Track’s” Arash DeMaxi and Molly Kunz (“Widows,” 2018), help to keep him on track. The show is making room for Mercer to take a somewhat fresh approach in Season 2, since the lingering bombing mystery reached something of a resolution at the end of the first season.
BY CAROLINE COLLACUTT
The only constant is change when Season 6 of “1000-lb Sisters” premieres Tuesday, Oct. 8, on TLC.
“I find that it’s really satisfying for an audience to wonder, but to also get those answers,” maintains “The Irrational” creator and executive producer Arika Lisanne Mittman, who cut her producer’s teeth on the Showtime fan-favorite “Dexter.” “I never wanted that storyline to be something that spanned five years of a series. I wanted it to have a satisfying ending to Season [1], and to open up the second season for new questions, new mysteries and new stories.”
However, Martin notes, “What it led to was more questions for my character. Often when people go through a traumatic experience, it — for lack of a better way to put it — becomes part of their identity. If the story is solved, or the mystery of it is solved, there’s something that happens to their identity in it. That bleeds probably for the eternity of the series, which I think is really fascinating.”
Mittman insists that the crime-solving aspect of “The Irrational” isn’t meant to override the psychological one. “We do always look at every episode [in terms of], ‘How is this about psychology? What is the psychology in this episode?’
We don’t ever want to tell just a traditional bythe-book kind of case. Dan Ariely, who wrote the book that this is based on [‘Predictably Irrational’], consults for us. He helps us with some of these psychological terms, and we have to do a lot of reading.
“We and the writers have to do a lot of research and a lot of writing for characters who are smarter than me,” Mittman allows. “It’s a challenge. It’s always hard, but I love it, because it helps make me smarter. And makes the audience smarter, I hope.”

“URB YOUR ENTHUSIASM: THE COMPLETE TWELFTH SEASON”
A winner of many awards, Larry David’s HBO comedy series wrapped up with this set of episodes that debuted on the cable network earlier this year. Playing a now-famously curmudgeonly version of himself, “Seinfeld” co-creator David starts the season by attending the birthday party of a fan in Atlanta … where he antagonizes many of the others at the event, then gets arrested while trying to do a good deed. He gets conflicting advice on how to proceed in addressing the charge against him, and the story plays out through the rest of the 10 episodes, up to the finale that is aptly titled “No Lessons Learned.” Bruce Springsteen, Conan O’Brien, Ted Danson, Lori Loughlin and Sienna Miller are among guests. Costars include Cheryl Hines, Jeff Garlin, Susie Essman and J.B. Smoove. A complete-series set is also available. **** (Not rated: AS, P)
“MAXXXINE”
Following “X” and “Pearl,” writer-director Ti West continued his horror franchise with this often-graphic melodrama that returns Mia Goth to her “X” role as a mid1980s adult-film performer who aspires to more-mainstream success by pursuing a lead role in a thriller. She lands the part, but her good
fortune coincides with the murders of several of her associates, raising questions for a detective (Kevin Bacon) who won’t be dissuaded from getting answers from her. Unwilling to cooperate with him, the actress conducts her own investigation, and she eventually learns unsettling information about who may be responsible for the killings. Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins (“Emily in Paris”) and Giancarlo Esposito also are prominent in the cast. DVD extras: theatrical trailers; three “making-of” documentaries; audio commentary by West. *** (R: AS, N, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, Digital and On Demand)
“KINDS OF KINDNESS”
Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos, whose collaborations have included the Oscar-winning “Poor Things,” reunited for this offbeat anthology of three interconnected stories that gives Stone multiple roles – along with “Friday Night Lights” alum Jesse Plemons (who won considerable praise and a Cannes Film Festival award for his work here), Hong Chau (“The Whale”), Joe Alwyn (who also worked with Lanthimos on “The Favourite”) and Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley (both also of “Poor Things”). All of the tales relate to a character known as “R.M.F.,” with the first making him the target of a man who tries to enlist an employee to kill the initialed man; the second finds R.M.F. flying a helicopter that rescues a supposedly missing woman, who displays unusual behavior upon her return; and the third makes him a
Once boasting a combined weight of over 1,000 pounds, two of TLC’s favorite sisters, Tammy and Amy Slaton, have lost a total of 700 pounds since their show’s premiere in 2020. Their journey has been followed by thousands of viewers, who have seen the duo improve their lifestyles, mindsets and diets as they progress through the highs and lows of extreme weight loss. Now, nearing their fifth year on air, the Slaton sisters are preparing to reinvent themselves “both inside and out” (according to TLC), navigating ever-changing family dynamics in this upcoming season.
“In the highly anticipated new season of ‘1000-lb Sisters,’” TLC shares “Amy and Tammy embark on transformative journeys, overcoming recent challenges to create fresh starts.”
The network’s description continues: “They change their living situations, continue to achieve their weight-loss goals and undergo stunning makeovers.

“INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE – SEASON 2”
The quest of vampires Louis and Claudia (played by Jacob Anderson and, assuming the latter role from Season 1 co-star Bailey Bass, Delainey Hayles) continues in the sophomore round of the AMC series that adapts Anne Rice’s popular novel. While looking for others of their kind in Europe – unaware that they’re being observed closely – as World War II nears its end, journalist Molloy (Eric Bogosian) seeks contact with Louis’s significant other Armand (Assad Zaman), who keeps trying to avoid the intended interview. Sam Reid also stars as vampire Lestat, with Ben Daniels as the leader of the saga’s Theatre des Vampires; Blake Ritson (“The Gilded Age”) and Justin Kirk (“Angels in America”) also are featured. A third season, which will dramatize Rice’s book “The Vampire Lestat,” has been ordered. The late Rice has an executive-producer credit on the show. *** (Not rated: AS, N, P, GV) (Also on Blu-ray)

The “NCIS” franchise on CBS and Paramount+ will continue with the parent show and the soon-todebut
“NCIS: Origins,” but this filmed-on-location series became the shortest dramatic entry in the franchise so far, ending earlier this year after three seasons. This final round that concluded last May was
by a genealogist’s revelations about their U.K. heritage. There, they seek to uncover the truth behind their mother’s intriguing claims of royal ancestry.”
In a recently released trailer for the upcoming season, TLC offered viewers a more in-depth glimpse of what’s to come for the Slaton sisters. In the clip, Tammy can be seen consulting a doctor regarding her interest in removing her loose skin following a significant weight loss (nearing 500 pounds) and is told that the process may take multiple operations. Considering the stress, financial responsibility and health risks, Tammy then expresses her concern that she may not be approved for the procedure, leaving her future up in the air. Meanwhile, Tammy’s sister, Amy, attempts to readjust to singledom following her split from Michael Halterman in September 2023. The two first eloped in 2017, then married in 2019. The former couple share two young sons, Gage and Glenn.
