The series follows an agent referred to only as the Captain (Hoa Xuande), who's half-Vietnamese and half-French. Aligned with North Vietnam, he's embedded within the South Vietnam army. Critics have generally praised the series, particularly Xuande's performance and Park's direction (in addition to showrunning duties, he directs the first three episodes). Here's a breakdown of where some reviewers stand ahead of the series premiere on HBO Sunday evening.

"Madame Web" opens in theaters on Wednesday. Variety's Peter Debruge called it "a hollow Sony-made Spider-Man spinoff with none of the charm you expect from even the most basic superhero movie." Jessica Kourkounis/SonyThough "Madame Web" is set in the "Spider-Man" universe, this is truly a standalone movie.

Sam Rockwell is a standout as an unconventional spy, but most of the cast is underused. Sam Rockwell as Aidan and Bryce Dallas Howard as Elly Conway in "Argylle." — Pete Hammond, Deadline"Most of the other supporting players — especially Cena and Samuel L. Jackson as yet another shadowy covert operative — appear in just enough scenes to make you wish their roles were more than glorified bit parts." — Matt Singer, Screen Crush"The overstuffed cast leaves legends like Samuel L. Jackson and Bryan Cranston mostly yelling in empty rooms." — Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair"You may go into 'Argylle' wondering, per the film's curiosity-baiting tagline, who is the real Agent Argylle?

5 Podcasts for Hollywood’s Awards Season
  + stars: | 2024-01-28 | by ( Emma Dibdin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
The 2024 awards season has felt unusually hectic so far, thanks to the strike-delayed Emmy Awards shifting from their usual fall airdate to January. But even when there’s nothing quite so unusual going on, the analysis here always makes awards season more interesting. Starter episode: “Oscar Voters, Start Your Engines”There’s a peculiar category of film that debuts with great fanfare, attracts plenty of awards buzz, and then fades from the cultural consciousness without a trace (and no awards). Not all of the films discussed on “This Had Oscar Buzz” fall into that bracket, but, as the title suggests, the focus is on the movies that had that buzzy aura around them, at least for a while. Starter episode: “Alexander (With David Sims)”Though not a traditional awards season podcast with predictions or play-by-play recaps, “The Town” is an invaluable resource for anyone hoping to understand the upheaval in Hollywood.

"Don't Worry Darling" arrives in theaters this weekend after months of offscreen gossip. For those who haven't been severely online over the last few months, "Don't Worry Darling" has received a lot of attention, largely for behind-the-scenes gossip rather than the movie itself. "Don't Worry Darling" earned $3 million on Thursday (including early Imax showings on Monday), according to Forbes. "We don't get to see that bit, though, because 'Don't Worry Darling' has used up all its tricks." At any rate, "Don't Worry Darling" is still expected to top the box office at a time when studio releases have been scarce and theaters are starving for new content.
