Thus her participation in pulling together a newly released Time Life box set, “The Ultimate Richard Pryor Collection: Uncensored.” The 13-disc set includes his standup and TV appearances, including the four episodes of not-safe-for-TV “The Richard Pryor Show,” and new features that Lee Pryor created such as “Last Standup Sitting Down,” about Pryor performing from his wheelchair. Lee Pryor returned to him in 1994 “when he was failing with MS.” (They were married previously for a short time in the early ‘80s.) Then, and now, she has made it a priority to care for Pryor’s legacy. Pryor, who quite literally changed comedy, died in 2005 after battling multiple sclerosis. Jennifer Lee Pryor is not at a loss for words, about anything really, but especially about her twice-husband, the legendary comedian Richard Pryor. Fans on TikTok have shared videos of themselves making dalgona cookies and attempting the same challenge to see how they might have fared if they were in that same life-or-death situation. The participants are given a needle to try to carve out their assigned shape without breaking the thin cookie in a limited time. In the show, the contestants must punch out certain shapes from a dalgona cookie - a honeycomb toffee-like sweet made from caramelized sugar and baking soda. One of the viral TikTok trends that has followed “Squid Game” is a challenge inspired by one of the deadly children’s games the contestants play on the show. What about that ‘Squid Game’ TikTok challenge? Some may find the bloody violence upsetting, but the show is not always grim.

The monsters in “Squid Game” are economic exploitation and capitalist society, so the series doesn’t rely on things like jump scares.
The show will likely appeal to those drawn to genre titles with social commentary such as “Train to Busan” or “Get Out” as well as those who are drawn to violent, escapist fare. “Squid Game’s” premise has drawn comparisons to films such as “The Hunger Games” and its bloodier Japanese predecessor “Battle Royale,” as well as the more recent “As the Gods Will.” An unsettling survivor series, “Squid Game’s” violence and gore come with a clear critique of capitalism - the show explicitly mentions how the real world prospects are just as brutal for these contestants as taking their chances on lethal children’s games. Matt Brennan Catch UpĮverything you need to know about the film or TV series everyone’s talking about By the time you reach the end you’ll be impatient for more, but take heart: The streamer’s adaptation of Rooney’s debut, “Conversations with Friends,” began filming in April. Co-written by Rooney, Alice Birch and Mark O’Rowe, and directed by Lenny Abrahamson (“Room”) and Hettie Macdonald (“Howards End”), its tale of childhood friends-turned-classmates-turned-lovers Marianne (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and Connell ( Paul Mescal) is crisp, almost pure, in its simplicity: Over 12 breathtakingly sexy half-hour installments, the pair hew together and drift apart, buffeted by class differences, family strife, career developments, even depression, which Mescal actualizes with empathy and precision in the stricken revelation that is Episode 10. Whether you’ve already devoured Sally Rooney’s latest novel, “Beautiful World, Where Are You,” as I have, or simply require a jolt of cuffing-season inspiration, Hulu’s intimate, impossibly delicate adaptation of her second book, “Normal People, ” is the perfect miniseries to spend an autumn weekend with.

(I once moderated a panel with Heidecker and Turkington on the “On Cinema” spinoff “Decker” - a MAGA-before-MAGA bargain-basement home-brew spy series - and it became clear as the night wore on that I was also an actor in this game, helping to write its history.) As versions of themselves, which is to say, characters who bear their names, the two are caught in a relationship based on jealousy and resentment, fated to torture one another into eternity - people who, however free they imagine themselves to be, have nowhere else to go. This ongoing life project from Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington - a riff on Siskel and Ebert that turned into an exercise in deep world-building - has lived on various platforms across its many seasons, the 12th of which debuts Wednesday on the HEI (as in Heidecker) Network, a real web-based subscription service that is itself part of the maxi-multi-mega-metafiction. “On Cinema at the Cinema” ( HEI Network).
