Horror doesn’t always have to be jump scare after jump scare or a non-stop gore fest. It doesn’t have to have Aliens, Terminators, or Predators to say nothing of any of the other monsters we’ve seen over the years.

Funny how those are the movies that the Globes and Oscars want to award.

It’s not every day that your podcast hits 200 episodes or gets a brand new logo, so it’s been a big week for Trace and me over at Horror Queers.
We’ve had an incredibly busy October on the pod, what with an extended conversation with Don Mancini about the last 30+ years of the Chucky franchise, a discussion about biphobia and Paul Verhoeven’s classic Erotic Thriller Basic Instinct, and our (now annual) check-in on David Gordon Green’s Halloween trilogy, Halloween Kills.
For our 200th episode, we wanted a special, perfect 5-star film, so we knew we had to go with Karyn Kusama‘s The Invitation (2015). In the film, grieving Will (Logan Marshall-Green) and his new girlfriend Kira (Emayatzy Corinealdi) attend a dinner in the Hollywood Hills at the behest of his ex, Eden (Tammy Blanchard) and her new boyfriend, David (Michiel Huisman).

Michael Ealy has been a Hollywood heartthrob for the better part of his acting career, but he's been off the market ever since he married his wife, Khatira Rafiqzada, in 2012. Not much is known about how the two first got together, but according to People, Ealy and Rafiqzada dated for nearly four years before they quietly wed in a ceremony in Los Angeles - they didn't announce their nuptials until two months later. The couple have two children together, son Elijah and daughter Harlem.
Ealy prefers to keep his marriage and personal life pretty private, but he does post photos of his family every now and then on Instagram, especially when his wife's birthday rolls around. In a March 2020 Instagram post, the actor wrote of Rafiqzada, "A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection. The myth goes as such: at the end of it lies a pot of gold.

It's been a while since we've seen a Black woman protagonist lead a mainstream legal drama. Most memorably, Viola Davis's Annalise Keating in "How to Get Away With Murder" helped pave the way for others like her. But others like Washington's Olivia Pope from...

As the first series hailing from Onyx Collective, Raamla Mohamed’s “Reasonable Doubt” is helping the new production label define itself as a home for unapologetically Black storytelling.
Currently streaming on Hulu, “Reasonable Doubt” stars Emayatzy Corinealdi as L.A. criminal defense attorney Jax Stewart, who seeming has it all –– a devoted husband, two growing children, a well-paying job, and a group of friends that support her through her highs and lows. But what bubbles beneath the surface of her impressively primped exterior (completed with a variety of hairstyles ranging from sleek to coiled) is a messy underbelly of questionable ethics in and outside of the courtroom as well as a pension for shade-throwing.
Corinealdi says the nuance of her character is what drew her to the project. “We all have these different layers,” she said. “And we don’t always get to see those played out on TV, especially with black women…...

There's a new sexy legal drama in town, and it's got a whole lot of thrills, juicy bombshells, and steamy spectacles. From the mind of "Scandal" veteran Raamla Mohamed comes Hulu's "Reasonable Doubt," a courtroom series that follows high-power criminal-defense attorney Jacqueline "Jax" Stewart (played by Emayatzy Corinealdi) through her relationship quarrels, family struggles, and, oh yeah, the biggest murder case of her career. The show is loosely based on celebrity attorney Shawn Holley, with an all-star cast that includes Michael Ealy, McKinley Freeman, and Sean Patrick Thomas as the show's leading men.
"This was the first time I saw this many male characters that are central to the storyline."
Ealy stars as rough-around-the-edges "prison bae" Damon; Freeman portrays Jax's overly forgiving husband, Lewis; and Thomas plays Jax's deep-pocketed, high-profile client (who's being accused of murder). They all bring the right amount of passion to their roles, each getting...

Reasonable Doubt begins in outrageously dramatic fashion, with protagonist Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) tied to a chair and pleading for her life at the barrel of a gun. The episode that follows continues along a similarly soapy vein: After rewinding six months, the show introduces a trio of love interests for Jax to play with and a splashy murder to untangle, setting us up for a season of steamy trysts and rug-pulling reveals.
But anyone who’s suffered through a mediocre thriller knows that bombshell twists alone aren’t enough to hook an audience if the people onscreen otherwise fall flat. Thankfully, Reasonable Doubt — which was created by Scandal vet Raamla Mohamed and boasts a premiere directed by Scandal star Kerry Washington — fares better than plenty of other would-be watercooler shows in that regard, grounding its drama in enjoyable characters, believable relationships and...

Viewers of sexy legal thriller Reasonable Doubt will discover something very much amiss in the seemingly perfect life of hotshot Los Angeles defense attorney Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi). Her husband (McKinley Freeman) left her, she’s worrisomely attracted to both an ex-con client (Michael Ealy) and her own security guard (Toby Onwumere), and she’s defending wealthy Brayden Miller (Sean Patrick Thomas), charged with two horrific anti-woman crimes. So that she’s held at gunpoint — the perp is a central mystery — in the premiere may be the least of her problems. “Jax is definitely complicated,” says creator Raamla Mohamed, an executive producer alongside Kerry Washington, the pilot’s director. “Her relationship with men and with her sexuality get answered as the season goes on.” Sounds like a show soon to be a real guilty pleasure. The show title and each episode title are inspired by Jay-Z’s debut album of...

“Reasonable Doubt” has a healthy amount of “Scandal” in its DNA.
The series was created by former “Scandal” writer and producer Raamla Mohamed; Kerry Washington directs the first episode. And the swirling intrigue around a self-styled do-gooder protagonist — who’s unconventional in her methods, and irresistibly drawn to drama — will recall Olivia Pope, the character Washington played on the ABC drama. Back then, Olivia unwound with a glass of red wine; as if to flex the looser, loucher possibilities of streaming, Emayatzy Corinealdi’s Jax Stewart ends her day with a cigarette.
That seems an apt distillation of a series that’s charged with a nervy energy; “Reasonable Doubt” places Corinealdi’s very flawed protagonist at its center and watches as she generates smoke, and steam. Jax is a former public defender who now works in high-profile criminal defense in Los Angeles; her attention is divided between her caseload and...

“I keep thinking about this quote by Nelson Mandela: ‘I don’t lose. I either win or I learn.’ But what if your learning comes at the expense of someone having to spend the rest of their life behind bars?” That’s our introduction — as well as the trailer’s — to high-powered criminal defense attorney Jacqueline “Jax” Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi) in Reasonable Doubt. The trailer offers a look at Jax on and off the job, and the two will very much collide, especially when it comes to Michael Ealy’s Damon. It appears the one thing to keep in mind about Jax is simple: “At the end of the day, I love criminals.” Watch the video above for more. Disney Onyx Collective’s legal drama premieres on Hulu on September 27 with two episodes. It follows Jax as she fiercely bucks the justice system through wild interpretations of the law and sometimes questionable ethics,...

“I can’t help you if I’m dead!” So argues Jax Stewart (Emayatzy Corinealdi), a brilliant, ethically flexible L.A. defense attorney who’s tied up and threatened by an unknown assailant in the opening scene of the steamy legal drama, Reasonable Doubt, exec produced by Kerry Washington. (Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) An unseen gunshot cues a flashback to six months earlier, as Jax juggles cases, a fraying marriage, motherhood, and sexual temptations. “Who has Jax, and what did she do to get into that situation?” asks show creator Raamla Mohamed.

Onyx Collective has given a series greenlight to Reasonable Doubt to stream on Hulu. Emayatzy Corinealdi (Middle of Nowhere) is set to star in the lead role of the legal drama, from writer/executive producer Raamla Mohamed (Scandal); executive producer Kerry Washington, who will direct the first episode; and ABC Signature.
This marks the first scripted series order for Onyx Collective, Disney’s new curated content brand for creators of color and underrepresented voices, led by Tara Duncan, whose output is tailored primarily for Hulu.
In Reasonable Doubt, you’ll judge Jax Stewart (Corinealdi) for her questionable ethics and wild interpretations of the law… until you’re the one in trouble. Then you’ll see her for what she is: the most brilliant and fearless defense attorney in Los Angeles who bucks the justice system at every chance she gets.

Onyx Collective on Hulu has greenlit the legal drama “Reasonable Doubt” starring Emayatzy Corinealdi in their first scripted series order, Variety has learned.
The series was originally reported as being in development at Onyx Collective back in July after having previously been in the works at ABC.
“Reasonable Doubt” will be executive produced by Kerry Washington and Pilar Savone for Simpson Street and Larry Wilmore via Wilmore Films. Raamla Mohamed is writing and executive producing the series, which features an all-Black writing staff. Attorney Shawn Holley is a co-executive producer as is Jon Leshay. ABC Signature will produce. Simpson Street and Mohamed are currently under overall deals with the studio. Washington will also direct the first episode after previously directing episodes of “Scandal,” “Smilf,” and “Insecure.”
“It’s hard to imagine a more ideal creative partnership for our first Onyx Collective scripted series,” said Tara Duncan, president of Freeform and Onyx Collective.

Exclusive: NBC is not moving forward with its ensemble drama pilot At That Age, created, directed and based on an original idea by Malcolm D. Lee, director of current box-office champ Space Jam: A New Legacy.
I hear the options on the cast, which includes Adrian Holmes, Nicole Ari Parker, Brad James, Jade Eshete, Sinqua Walls, Emayatzy Corinealdi and Christian Keyes, were coming up July 31, prompting the network to make a decision.
As is common practice, Universal Television, which produced the pilot, will shop it to other networks while it still has the actors under deals.
At That Age, an exploration of an African-American family’s legacy, was ordered to pilot in January 2020, but put on hold due to the coronavirus-related production shutdown. It restarted casting this past spring and was produced off-cycle like all of NBC’s pilots over the last Covid-impacted year. The network also has drama pilot Dangerous Moms,...
