Jurnee Smollett‘s latest project required a little extra character work in the gym to fully embody her role.
While discussing her Marine-turned-arson investigator Michelle Calderone in the Apple TV+ series Smoke, new episodes available to stream Thursdays, the Emmy nominee recently opened up about the physical transformation she underwent for the part.
“She’s someone who uses working out as an escape, and she tries to push herself pretty hard,” she told People. “She’s running away from a lot of her emotions and pours it into different aspects of her life working out, but overworking out toxic relationships. She’s a workaholic and very ambitious. So, I knew physically that Michelle needed to have more of a muscular presence than I personally did.”
Smollett added, “I did put on initially 15 pounds, and by the end of shooting, I was up to 20 pounds, because I wanted that part to feel more truthful.

As we left last week, Freddy (Ntare Mwine) had lost control completely, and Dave (Taron Egerton) was rushing to the scene, charged by the idea of catching him.
That’s when the world fell away as he was hit by a drunk driver. How would the accident change things? That’s what we waited to find out as we got this season’s sixth episode, “Manhood.” Let’s dive into the happenings this week.
A feverish investigation
Turns out, Dave was Ok. Sure, he’s a little beat up, but it could be much worse. But if his physical state was Ok, his mental state takes a hit right away. Ashley (Hannah Emily Anderson) is at his bedside, but not out of concern. Quickly, she shares that her hope had been that he was gone. Instead, as he’s healthy and soon to be released, the call clarified her feelings.

This post contains spoilers from Smoke season 1 episode 4 from this point forward.
We all have trauma. That trauma varies from person to person, as does the response to trauma. But for many, trauma is a driver. It can be a driver for good or a driver for ill. For our three central characters in Smoke, all are dealing with past trauma and present trauma that drives their actions. For one of them, it’s in the right direction. Let’s dive into this week’s episode, “Strawberry.”
Anger as a driver
For Dave (Taron Egerton) and Freddy (Ntare Mwine), pain and anger are a driver toward their actions. Both are struggling this week. Both are a powder keg. And both are ready to lash out, especially by the end of this week’s episode.
Freddy has been passed over. He’s sad. Then angry. Then frustrated. He drops in on...

A bunch of characters were introduced to us in the first two episodes of AppleTV+ original, Smoke. These characters were dealing with their own traumas; they had their own set of motivations and sensibilities. So let’s find out who these characters were and what role they had to play in the scheme of things.
Dave Gudsen
Dave Gudsen (Taron Egerton), the arson investigator from the Umberland Fire Department, seemed to be the kind of man who had a flair for the dramatic, who liked imagining himself as the hero in all situations, and who definitely didn’t like people stealing his thunder. In the first two episodes of Smoke, it became clear that the man wanted to do something great in his life. He was a very insecure man who always feared that somebody else would overshadow him and take all his credit. It wouldn’t be wrong to...

A new true-crime miniseries is coming to Apple TV+ and features a pretty stacked cast — so what do critics think of "Smoke," the latest effort from showrunner and writer Dennis Lehane?
First things first: "Smoke," which uses the podcast "Firebug" as its loose source material stars Taron Egerton (from the "Kingsman" films and "Rocketman"), Jurnee Smollett (who delivered a spectacular performance in "Birds of Prey" back in 2020), Adina Porter (a familiar figure in Ryan Murphy's extended universe), Rafe Spall, Anna Chlumsky (a "Veep" standout), and Hollywood mainstays John Leguizamo and Greg Kinnear. The gist here is that arson investigator Dave Gudsen (Egerton) and hard-boiled detective Michelle Calderon (Smollett) are trying to figure out who set a massive fire in the Pacific Northwest, and the answer is shockingly complicated.
Crime dramas are an industry staple these days, and it feels like there's a new entry into the genre on a basically constant basis.

Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon, Kristin Chenoweth, Danai Gurira and Zayn Malik are among a group of stars who signed an open letter, calling for Congress to reject proposed cuts to the supplemental nutrition assistance program (Snap) and Medicaid outlined in the Trump administration’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
In the missive published Wednesday by nonprofit organization Feeding America, the entertainment industry figures are urging Congress “to reject cuts to these vital programs that help millions put food on their tables and provide access to health care.”
“We all have powerful memories of sharing meals with friends, with family and even with strangers in moments of celebration, grief or everything in between. Food is a beautiful way humans show care, compassion and love to those around us.

Smoke TV Review: Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett lead Dennis Lehane’s true crime-inspired thriller
Plot: Inspired by true events, “Smoke” follows a troubled detective and an enigmatic arson investigator as they pursue the trials of two serial arsonists.
Review: The 2023 Apple TV+ limited series Black Bird presented a true crime drama with stellar performances from Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser. Created by acclaimed novelist Dennis Lehane, the series fostered a creative partnership that has led to the new series, Smoke. With Lehane as showrunner and Egerton in the lead alongside Jurnee Smollett, Smoke draws inspiration from the true crime podcast Firebug but expands into an original narrative about dueling arsonists wreaking havoc in the Pacific Northwest while former firefighter Dave Gudsen (Taron Egerton) and detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) try to apprehend the criminals. It is a fascinating drama that draws on Lehane’s skill at chronicling cops and killers, mixed with multiple intricate characters. Smoke is a character study of the highest order,...

Some fans on social media say looking at a trailer of Apple TV+’s “Smoke” reminds them of the early ‘90s film, “Backdraft.” While the film and the TV series both have fire as a main theme, “Smoke,” is not about saving lives. It’s really about destroying them.
Loosely based on the “Firebug” podcast that tells the story of John Leonard Orr, an arson investigator convicted of having set thousands of fires in the Los Angeles area over approximately two decades, “Smoke” was written by the prolific novelist-turned-screenwriter-turned-tv writer Dennis Lehane. Lehane’s books “Gone Baby Gone,” “Moonlight Mile,” “Shutter Island” and the Oscar-nominated “Mystic River” became movies. He found further success as a staff writer for the Emmy-winning shows “The Wire” and “Boardwalk Empire.” In 2022, Lehane developed the true crime drama (and fan favorite) Blackbird for AppleTV+. Blackbird starred Egerton, Greg Kinnear and Ray Liotta in his last role.

Taron Egerton Watches an Investigation Go Up in ‘Smoke’ in Exhilarating New Apple TV+ Series Trailer
Last year, Taron Egerton took over Netflix with the hit movie Carry-On. This year, the British actor is diving once again into an edge-of-your-seat thriller, but this time in more understated tones. Today, Apple TV+ released the trailer for Smoke, a new investigative series that centers on an investigator who is trying to locate two serial arsonists that are wreaking fiery havoc and challenging the police. The series is set to premiere on June 27.
The trailer for Smoke suggests that the fire is one way to grab the attention of the police, but there's something else brewing that we can't quite put our finger on. This is reflected in Egerton's character, Dave Gudsen, who gets so deeply involved in the mystery that it might bring some permanent consequences for his psyche. In that scenario, it looks like police detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) will be fundamental to keeping Dave grounded during the investigation.
The trailer for Smoke suggests that the fire is one way to grab the attention of the police, but there's something else brewing that we can't quite put our finger on.

In that scenario, it looks like police detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) will be fundamental to keeping Dave grounded during the investigation.

Dave Gudsen (Taron Egerton), a Seattle arson investigator, resents being paired up with detective Michelle Calderone (Jurnee Smollett) to track down two killer arsonists in the first trailer for the nine-episode series “Smoke.” The series premieres with its first two episodes Apple TV+ on June 27.
The series is created, written and executive produced by “Mystic River” and “Shutter Island” author Dennis Lehane and based on the podcast “Firebug,” about a real-life arson case in Southern California. Egerton was Emmy-nominated for his previous Apple TV+ team-up with Lehane, “Black Bird.”
In the trailer (which you can watch below), Calderone tries to get off on the right foot with Gudsen, telling him, “Your reputation precedes you.” But he’s territorial about the case. And his office. “You preceded me too. Into my own office,” he replies.

Following his acclaimed run as this year’s Oscars host, Conan O’Brien is back for the second season of “Conan O’Brien Must Go,” featuring Oscar winners Taika Waititi (“Jojo Rabbit”) and Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”).
In this new season, O’Brien continues his trek around the world by visiting New Zealand, Austria and Spain. The official synopsis reads: “In this riotously funny travel series, Conan O’Brien experiences local cultures and connects with fans he previously met on his podcast.”
Season 2 drops after Season 3 officially was officially greenlit, meaning that more adventures around the world are in store for O’Brien. Variety‘s review of Season 1 noted that “the encounters work because O’Brien doesn’t treat his new friends as fools — rather, he revels in the fact that he is the fool.”
The three-episode season debuts Thursday, May 8. O’Brien and Jeff Ross executive produce while Conaco produces.

Sony Music Masterworks today announces the release of Venom: The Last Dance (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) with music by composer Dan Deacon.
Available everywhere now, the album features an original score composed by Deacon for the final film in the Sony Pictures Venom trilogy. Combining dynamic, emotional orchestral movements with bold, action-packed synthesized sequences, Deacon’s score is the perfect musical accompaniment to the final chapter of the franchise. Venom: The Last Dance debuts in theaters nationwide today from Sony Pictures – tickets here.
Of the score, Dan Deacon says, “Comic books were core part of my childhood and some of my fondest memories of being a kid. I was 7 and an avid comic collector when Venom first appeared. I got immediately obsessed with him and the symbiote backstory. Returning bottles and cans for 5¢ each, I saved money to collect as many earlier appearances and key books as I could get my hands on,...

Your browser does not support the video tag.
A man in the midst of trying to rebuild his family finds himself in a nightmarish fight for survival in Succubus. The horror movie hails from writer/director R.J. Daniel Hanna, best known for previously helming the Adina Porter and Uzo Aduba-starring Miss Virginia, as well as the Matthew Modine-starring sports drama Hard Miles and working as an editor on a variety of other titles, including the 2020 horror-thriller What Lies Below, led by The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power star Ema Horvath.
Succubus centers on Chris, a seemingly mild-mannered father currently working through a trial separation from his wife as he tries to salvage their marriage. From the advice of Eddie, his jock-like best friend, Chris creates a profile on a dating website and matches with a woman named Adra, who claims to be in trouble while...

“The Perfect Couple” could be renamed “Attack of the Gnats.”
Swarms of flying insects invaded Netflix’s red carpet premiere of “The Perfect Couple” on Wednesday night at the streamer’s Egyptian Theatre Hollywood.
If the hot and sticky weather wasn’t bad enough, the cast – including Nicole Kidman, Liev Schreiber and Meghann Fahy – suddenly found themselves swatting away gnats about an hour into the carpet.
“I think one just bit me,” Schreiber said, smacking the back of his neck.

Noticing several bugs on this Variety reporter’s shirt, Fahy said, “You have a bug on you!” When she turned around to see the gnats crawling on the light blue step-and-repeat, Fahy groaned, “Ewww! I don’t like that. I don’t like stuff like that…...

This year’s supporting actress candidates will not have to fend off reigning champ Jennifer Coolidge of “The White Lotus,” which is set to return in 2025 with an almost completely fresh cast. All nine acting nominees from the show’s most recent season are presumably finished playing their roles, as are 2023 featured female competitors Rhea Seehorn and J. Smith-Cameron from the concluded series “Better Call Saul” and “Succession.”

Milo Ventimiglia was just 19 years old and starting out in Hollywood when he was cast as a gay teen in the 1996 short, “Must Be the Music.” You’d think his team would have advised him not to play queer, but Ventimiglia says he received nothing but support to sign on.
“I played a gay teenager who is going out with his friends, meets a guy but his buddy’s best friend is already kind of sweet on that guy,” Ventimiglia remembered. “Then he ends up giving them a ride home and he gets the guys number. It was a very sweet story.”
The short was produced by Gus Van Sant.
“That’s the great thing about being an actor,” the “This Is Us” star said at the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Sunday. “You play a lot of different roles. You represent a lot of roles. You represent a lot of stories.
