Currently playing on Netflix, The Laundromat is a political dramady about the Panama papers, told from the perspective of outrageous fictionalized characters. Starring heavyweights like Meryl Streep, Antonio Banderas, Jeffrey Wright and Gary Oldman and directed by Steven Soderbergh, expectations have been high.

Worth the hype? You’ll be reminded a lot of Adam McKay’s The Big Short in ironic tone and style. The Laundromat is equally amusing, but not quite as impressive. But it’s still worth a watch—good for really getting your dander up about big business. And always fun to see these masters at work.

Yet another reason to subscribe to Disney+ — a Jim Henson puppet talk show called Earth to Ned, which will be a comedic half-hour involving an alien host and his lieutenant interviewing celebrity guests. Love the wildly original take on what was up ’til now a stale format. Get more details at HollywoodReporter.com.

So binge-worthy! Soapy satire ‘The Politician’ from Ryan Murphy on Netflix, about a never-say-die guy (Ben Platt) running for student body president at an elite private high school, is just the juicy jolt you need to distract you from the country’s real life political scene. I’ve heard a Season 2 is already in the works. Gwyneth Paltrow: All is forgiven.

Production has begun in Toronto on the third season of American Gods on Starz, with all your favorites back (except some of those who croaked). Season 3 will consist of 10-episodes of the one-hour scripted drama adapted from Neil Gaiman’s acclaimed contemporary fantasy novel has begun production in Toronto. Interesting new additions include Marilyn Manson as Johan Wengren and Blythe Danner  as Demeter.

“American Gods” chronicles a war brewing between the Old Gods of ancient mythological roots and the New Gods of modern technology. Ex-con Shadow Moon has spent two seasons following his mysterious boss Mr. Wednesday (aka the Norse All-Father Odin) around the country, only to discover at the end of last season that the Old God is actually his father.

This season follows Shadow as he attempts to break away and assert himself as his own man, setting down roots in the idyllic snowy town of Lakeside, Wisconsin, where he’ll uncover a dark secret while exploring questions of his own divinity. Guided on this spiritual journey by the gods of his black ancestors, the Orishas, Shadow must decide exactly who he is—a god seeking veneration or a man in service of the “we.”

You’ve heard and seen the adds for “free” real estate seminars hosted by HGTV stars Tarek El Moussa and Christina Anstead of Flip or Flop fame? Well, the FTC has just slapped them with a temporary stop order, because they’re “misleading” and “bogus.” It seems the FTC said that Utah-based Zurixx LLC, which hols the seminars, has to stop these events, basically because they taught attendees how to apply for new credit cards, on which they would charge at least $1,997 for additional classes.
