Was the appearance of Jonathan Majors as He Who Remains in the season finale of Loki the top moment of 2021 TV?
“In Loki’s season finale, ‘For All Time. Always,’ Loki (Tom Hiddleston) and his multiversal ‘variant’ Sylvie (Sophia Di Martino) arrive at the end of their journey to meet the puppet master of all puppet masters. He doesn’t have a name; he has several. We only know him as He Who Remains, played by a mischievous Jonathan Majors.”
Is American Psycho being remade… as a musical?
“That’s why I love American Psycho as a film and American Psycho the Musical so much. To me, American Psycho is not only a commentary on wealth and the elite but is also a hard look at the stigma against mental health that continues to permeate society (when adapted correctly). I have been team ‘Patrick Bateman didn’t kill anyone’ from the first moment I came in contact with this story, and I will probably die thinking that.”
