"My Octopus Teacher": Have you ever struggled with feelings of compulsion? No matter what you became obsessed with, I would hazard to guess that you were not in as deep as nature filmmaker Craig Foster, the subject of this fascinating documentary from Pippa Ehrlich and James Reed. Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto and Matt Bomer (Murphy regulars at this point) probably get the most screen time, but the ensemble has many standout performances including Andrew Rannells, Brian Hutchinson, Michael Benjamin Washington and Robin de Jesús ("Camp"), who absolutely steals the show in scene after scene. What makes it all work so well is the outstanding actors who, after playing these characters every night for months at the Booth Theater a few summers ago, make their roles feel so authentic. Bursting with catty dialogue, a healthy measure of self-loathing and a sharply decorated set, we watch as their raucous evening is interrupted by a surprise guest. We spend one late 1960s evening in a New York City apartment with a gaggle of gay friends who have gathered for a friend's birthday. The play won a Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play in 2018, and its entire cast of openly gay actors have reprised their roles in this reboot from director Joe Mantello (“Love! Valour! Compassion!”). Originally produced Off-Broadway in 1968, it was made into a groundbreaking feature in 1970 by William Friedkin that was one of the first American films to focus on gay characters. His latest production is an adaptation of the legendary Matt Crowley play.

"The Boys in the Band": After signing a $300 million deal with Netflix, Ryan Murphy started filling the service with queer content. “He does all of this motion capture where he tries to mimic those animals, so he’s spent quite a bit of time trying to get into the mind of apes,” Markham said, “and that’s what we’re trying to do in these programmes, which is a bit different maybe to other wildlife, trying to get into the mind of these animals.This week, we look at two new releases that are now available for streaming through subscription services. It’s no surprise that Mackie was chosen for the Birds episode, since he played The Falcon in the MCU before recently taking on the Captain America mantle, while Serkis has lent his body and his voice to not one but two famous cinematic apes – King Kong and Cesar in Planet of the Apes – so his casting for the Apes episode is a no-brainer. “His character really kind of comes across. Pascal told the producer he hadn’t eaten octopus or squid since, because he “just loves these creatures”.īreaking Bad’s Cranston is on dog duty, which comes after he starred in Wes Anderson’s Isle of Dogs. But if I turned my back on it, it would try to escape’,” Markham told.

When I was a kid, I caught one on a beach and put it into a bucket and then whenever I was turning to look at it, it would duck down. “He said, ‘I’m so glad you chose me for this because I absolutely love octopus. Of course, Pedro is in The Mandalorian which people know him for,” Markham said, before revealing that Pascal was delighted to be chosen for the job. “In the programme, we sort of treat as an alien, you know, that they’re like the crickets from other planets. Pedro Pascal narrates the Octopus episode in Animal season one Octopus may not be the first thing that comes to fans’ minds when they think of Pedro Pascal, but it turns out the actor loves the creatures. While Wilson’s connection to Australia makes sense, the other narrators’ bonds to the animals they were chosen for are slightly more unusual.

“She knows what they’re like, she’s been in the smog in Sydney and all the rest of it.” “ brought real genuine sensitivity to those kind of stories,” Markham added. The programme also touches on “21st century context”, with Wilson’s episode covering the impact of the bushfires in Australia. So her character really fit with this slightly tongue-in-cheek group of animals.” “But also, they’re quite a quirky bunch, the marsupials.

“Obviously she’s Australian and she loves marsupials and spends quite a lot of time, I think, helping out koalas and so on,” he said. He went on to explain how Pitch Perfect actress Wilson, for example, was perfect for the Marsupials episode. “So what we thought was finding narrators who would fit the personalities and the characters of the animal groups.” “We felt that having one narrator to write all of the episodes wouldn’t be a fair ambassador of all the different species,” Markham explained.
