This week’s On the Floor tackles one of the biggest issues currently facing the film industry, the star system. With Jurassic World making a gazillion dollars and everyone cementing Chris Pratt as a new star, we take a look at the history of the star system, how we do and should determine what a star is and where we go from here. We also take ample time to shade Will Smith for his career choices. Enjoy!
On the Floor is back and more unorganized, jumbled, and scatterbrained as ever as we talk about new Netflix show Sense8. It’s appropriate that we have a wide ranging discussion given that the show is about 8 lives in 8 different places and mind melds and the such. We give our overall thoughts on the show, what worked and what didn’t, our fave characters, and who makes our sense8 workout list. We also talk about orgies and Spagettit tries to come for my wig over Lito. Enjoy!
Yall sense8s just…That show is wild. Don’t read any further till you have gotten to episode 7.
Making a film for a star is not a new Hollywood concept, its been done since we discovered what stars can do for film’s box office. Still there hasn’t quite been someone in the package of one Melissa McCarthy to build one around. Thank goodness for Spy then, the smart, wickedly pointed spoof of all spy films, that gives her an amazing movie to lead.
No show can stress me out like Game of Thrones and lordt did they come up with a doozy of an episode to do just that. In a season that has been pretty lackluster, Game of Thrones showed how when its on, its fucking on. Here’s a video recap of the episode.
