An Uncanny Similarity Between Mad Men And The Office By Hunter Stephenson/Nov. 12, 2009 6:00 am EST When the season finale of Mad Men was over, there was a minor tinge of déjà vu that I couldn’t immediately pin down. Hours later, it occurred to me that one of the major twists in the finale shared several fun similarities to The Office (Scranton Branch). In fact, up until the epiphany, I had never considered Don Draper to be every bit the serious, hip and fair boss that Michael Scott is delighted to find in the mirror each morning when he combs back his hair....

By Peter Sciretta/May 16, 2016 1:30 pm EST The big questions coming out of Star Wars: The Force Awakens are who Rey’s parents are and where she comes from.

Everything We Learned On The Set Of USA’s ‘The Purge’ TV Series [Set Visit] By Candice Frederick/Aug. 15, 2018 7:00 am EST I’m not one to champion a whole bunch of sequels, prequels, and spinoffs, but let me tell you something — when it was announced that there was going to be a TV adaptation of The Purge, I perked right up. I’m a fan of the film franchise — and its unflinching indictment of our real-life dystopia highlighting our history of violence and rage — and I was interested to see how creator James DeMonaco and producer Jason Blum would expand the story in an episodic format....
