Four inconsequential Peacock documentaries marking the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, compared to energy and awe of "Ladies & Gentlemen... 50 Years of SNL Music" that turned out to be rather exceptional and unique or even the SNL50: Homecoming Concert, worth checking out as well.

"Five Minutes" (director Robert Alexander) focuses on some never-before-seen audition footage and the accompanying personal stories from cast and casting. This is probably your best bet from the bunch and what you came for as…

“i haven’t got any thoughts. im just staring vacantly into space while a distant voice in the back of my head goes ‘oh shit!’ like a car alarm in the middle of the night”

Tales from the Script

Who is Fleabag?

I was twenty-seven and in a cynical spiral. Convinced my work and my brain carried less value than my desirability, a rage grew in me at the invisible lectures I felt I was getting all the time about how to be a woman, how to be a feminist. That the world measured a female's worth only by her desirability. I read an article once that said that a woman's prime was at age…

Halloween, A Noite do Terror (1978)🇧🇷

O filme foi inovador em diversos aspectos, desde a construção do personagem principal até a trilha…

The Trinity Test scene, still continues to be suspenseful, awe-inspiring, chilling and heart-stirring.
