Warning: The following contains spoilers from The Ranch Part 5 finale. Looking for our previous recap? Click here.

The Ranch Part 5 ends with the not-so-shocking departure of Rooster Bennett, whose portrayer Danny Masterson was accused of raping four women in the early 2000s and subsequently fired by Netflix.

In the episode, Rooster returns to his cabin to find Mary’s boyfriend Nick (Banshee‘s Josh Burrow) waiting for him. The ex-con asks Rooster if he was with Mary the previous night, but Rooster denies it. Nick then threatens to kill Rooster (again!) before leaving. Afterwards, Rooster gets in touch with Heather,...

[Editor’s Note: The following article contains spoilers for “The Ranch” Part 5 on Netflix.]

The ending written for Danny Masterson’s character on “The Ranch” is disgraceful. Offscreen, two women who accused the actor of rape are calling out Netflix for airing his remaining episodes at all, while onscreen, his character, Rooster Bennett, has been given an open-ended goodbye allowing for his return should the powers that be allow it. If one of these weren’t true — if the accusers were satisfied with the streaming giant’s response to their accusations, or if the series itself definitively ended Rooster’s storyline — then, perhaps, it would feel like viewers could move on from this controversy and go back to enjoying the unusually dark and sporadically funny multi-cam sitcom sans its problematic star.

But as things stand immediately following Part 5’s release, there’s really no other word for it: The ending of Part 5 is disappointing. Last December, Masterson’s front-facing...

When Netflix cut ties with “The Ranch” star Danny Masterson last December, the big question was how his character would be written out of the show. And now that Part 5 is out in the world, we know the answer: Jameson “Rooster” Bennett gets run out of town.

As fans of the sitcom comedy will remember, Masterson’s character was at the center of Part 4’s biggest cliffhanger. The show centers around Colt (Ashton Kutcher), who returns to his family’s Colorado ranch after his semi-pro football career fizzles out.

By the end of Part 4, Colt and Rooster went behind their father Beau’s (Sam Elliott) back to buy the ranch next door, taking advantage of the power of attorney Rooster was granted following Beau’s heart attack. But when the natural gas pipeline project that was going to be their financial windfall eventually fell through, the...

The main characters of the new film The Crimson Mask represent a phenomenon not uncommon in modern society. For years, both Parker and Thomas Caine lived far beyond their means, accumulating debts that now seem insurmountable. Caine is a seemingly well-to-do businessman who finds his options drying up as the debt collectors are closing in; meanwhile, Parker is a washed-up fighter in the Terry Malloy mold—a coulda-been contender who never saved for a rainy day.

Each man is desperate for the means to break from the past and start life over, sans his crushing financial burden. Enter the Crimson Mask, an ancient ritual that could provide Caine and Parker with the salvation they’re looking for, provided either can survive a rite-of-passage involving guns, swordplay, and characters whose intentions may not always be what they appear. Part-fantasy, part-noir, The Crimson Mask has performed remarkably well on the festival circuit to-date,...
