The arid landscape of the fictional Australian town Kiewarra lends the 2020 mystery thriller “The Dry” its name and identity. It’s the type of place filled with interpersonal tension, which frequently reflects onto a barren, sun-scorched environment itching to go up in flames.
When federal agent Aaron Falk (Eric Bana) returns to his hometown to look into the double murder-suicide supposedly perpetrated by his childhood best friend, he’s thrust back into the town’s powder-keg energy. Everyone looks at him with suspicion because they suspect he was responsible for the drowning of his high school girlfriend twenty years prior, with their resentment exacerbated by his off-the-books investigation. Adapted from Jane Harper’s procedural mystery novel by the same name, “The Dry” marinates in buried backcountry secrets and childhood trauma, both of which unfortunately never transcend their generic function or presentation on screen.
Four years later, the awkwardly titled sequel...

All seven episodes of Peacock’s “Wolf Like Me” Season 2 are available to stream now (our review), doubling down on the charm and the werewolf complications introduced in season one. It makes for the perfect Halloween binge as October starts to wind down.
The series was created by Abe Forsythe (Little Monsters), who also serves as writer, director, and executive producer.
In season two, Mary (Isla Fisher) and Gary (Josh Gad) leap into the next phase of their relationship and face their biggest challenge yet: pregnancy. Typical anxieties for any expecting couple get exacerbated tenfold when the mom-to-be also happens to be a werewolf.
Without delving into spoilers, the second season ends on a cliffhanger, unlike the tidy, cathartic conclusion of season one. It’s the precise type of ending that demands a third season to see what happens next. Bloody Disgusting sought answers from series creator Abe Forsythe, and...

The first season of genre-bending rom-com series “Wolf Like Me“ introduced the charming meet-cute between single dad Gary (Josh Gad) and tragic loner Mary (Isla Fisher) with a horror twist: Mary happens to transform into a wolf every full moon. Series creator/director/writer Abe Forsythe (2019’s Little Monsters) explores the next chapter in the couple’s relationship in Season 2, doubling down on the charm and the werewolf complications in the process.
After surviving a harrowing encounter last season that saw Mary, in wolf form, save Gary and his daughter Emma (Ariel Donoghue) from death in the Outback, the trio have settled into a comfortable, content life as a newfound family unit.

Wolf Like Me creator Abe Forsythe’s date didn’t transform into a werewolf on that fateful “full moon” night they spent together.
But what if she had?
Forsythe said the inspiration behind his hit Peacock series Wolf Like Me came from a real-life dating experience and his deep respect for the 1981 groundbreaking horror-comedy, An American Werewolf in London.

When the Australian indie film Animal Kingdom made a splash at Sundance in January, everyone couldn’t stop talking about veteran actress Jacki Weaver’s spine-tingling turn as the ultimate crime grandmother. Somewhat against the odds, Animal Kingdom garnered an audience beyond Sundance, and last week, the National Board of Review crowned the soft-spoken Weaver as the best supporting actress of 2010. With the awards-season (..right? I’m kinda wobbly on this rule) wind at her back, Weaver stands a chance of being noticed by Academy voters, pulling a Christoph Waltz, and making it all the way to the Oscars. Little Gold Men caught up with Jacki fresh off her win, as she prepared to go onstage with Cate Blanchett for the Sydney Theater Company’s staging of Uncle Vanya. (Warning: We caution those who haven’t...
