Liz Feldman‘s “Dead To Me” found a second life at Netflix, so it only make sense her follow-up series lands on the streamer too. But while Feldman’s previous show took a darkly comedic look at therapy, her new one, “No Good Deed,” tackles another topic entirely: the highs and lows of buying or selling a home.

Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano star in the upcoming series, on Netflix next month, as an empty-nester couple who decide to sell off their beloved LA villa.  But what should be relatively normal transaction becomes to stuff of comedic nightmares when potential buyers how far they’re willing to go to own their dream home.

Remember how Warner Bros. Discovery isn’t afraid of licensing out its biggest IP to the highest bidder? Well, that means films like the animated “Merry Little Batman” aren’t coming to Max. Instead, it’s coming to Prime Video just in time for the holiday season. Who would have thought a new Batman animation would land on an Amazon streaming service?

Can technology understand romantic relationships? The new film “Fingernails” offers a story based on our growing connections to innovation but offers a posit that flies in the face of conventional dating life in the modern age: love and technology don’t always mix. A couple thinks they’ve found love, as stated by recent tech developments — what it fails to understand might just be the difference between one partner settling or finding a true soulmate.

Alec Baldwin so enjoys the story of how he ended up narrating “The Royal Tenenbaums” that he told it twice at the virtual reunion that followed Monday’s Tribeca Festival anniversary screening. He used it to open the conversation, which he moderated, recalling that co-writer/director Wes Anderson “asked to do me a favor and do this narration for this film. He said, ‘I’m never going to use it, I don’t really want it, the producers are insisting that I have a voiceover track.’” It was only when Baldwin revisited the story nearly a half-hour later – “That’s what you said to me, ‘I’m never gonna use this, I’m never gonna use it’” – that Anderson felt compelled to pipe up: “I never said that!”

The story does fly in the face of what we know about Anderson and his meticulous process (and indeed, Matt Zoller Seitz, who literally wrote the book on the filmmaker, confirms that the narration was “always there in the screenplay”).

OK, last week on weekly The Playlist Podcast, Mike DeAngelo’s interviewed Luke Wilson about his new football drama, “12 Mighty Orphans,” which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last week. You can listen to the interview below, but we wanted to highlight a couple of interesting tidbits from it.

We couldn’t help ask Wilson about his work with Wes Anderson and “The Royal Tenenbaums.” Wilson and his brother Owen were college friends with Anderson, and all of them launched their careers in 1997 with the hilariously deadpan “Bottle Rocket” (the third Wilson brother Andrew appeared in it too).

Having spent most of my life in New England, where sports are the way of life and the Patriots hoard more cultural cachet than the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and maybe even the mayor combined, I have never understood football’s appeal as entertainment or as a pastime. Against these odds, Ty Roberts’ new movie, “12 Mighty Orphans,” has opened my eyes by couching Americans’ passion for the game in a time of national duress: The Dust Bowl, smack-dab in the middle of the Great Depression, when football became a symbol on which deprived and destitute Americans could imprint their hopes and dreams.

If you’re a regular reader of The Playlist, then it’s likely you’re a fan of Luke Wilson. From his debut in the incredible film, “Bottle Rocket,” to his later collaborations with Wes Anderson, to his highly underrated and sadly prescient “Idiocracy,” Wilson is an actor that has been in a number of iconic films over the past three decades. And in honor of his new film, the feel-good drama, “12 Mighty Orphans,” Luke Wilson joined The Playlist Podcast for a discussion about the football feature and his previous filmography.

The feel-good sports film is a time-honored tradition in Hollywood. The formula to make it work seems to be pretty obvious, and is on display in the new trailer for “12 Mighty Orphans.”

Just judging by the trailer, “12 Mighty Orphans” puts all the pieces together for a winning sports drama. First, you take a well-known, likable star—in this case, Luke Wilson—and make him the new guy in town, who has a passion for helping kids but also football.

No one knew who the hell Wes Anderson was when his debut feature “Bottle Rocket” hit theaters 25 years ago this week– nor did they know Owen Wilson, who co-wrote and starred in the picture, or Owen’s brother Luke Wilson, who co-starred with him. The big name in that initial release was James L. Brooks, the Oscar-winning TV-writer-turned-filmmaker whose company, Gracie Films, had an overall deal at Columbia Pictures; that deal gave financing and distribution to low-budget films of the company’s choosing.

It’s difficult to explain the premise of “Guest of Honour” without getting too much into spoiler-y territory. Suffice it to say, the new film is a complicated, emotional family drama that follows the lives of a father and his daughter, a music teacher that finds herself on the wrong side of the law due to hoax. And judging by the new trailer, the film should be one that you make sure to see as soon as it hits a theater or digital avenue near you.

The world has greatly changed over the last ten years. Technology has greatly advanced, smartphones and social media are ubiquitous, filmmaking has changed, and the advent of streaming services has transformed the movie industry while giving rise to new voices. Society has evolved too, the political landscape completely altered in the age of Trump. But like death and taxes, you can always count on some studio to deliver a belated sequel that arrives way past its sell-by date and adds nothing, let alone cultural value from when it last left off.

At the risk of putting too fine a point on it, Ansel Elgort cannot really act. In most of his work, that doesn’t matter much; he’s a perfectly adequate Unthreateningly Handsome Teen in something like “Divergent” or “The Fault in Our Stars,” and in “Baby Driver,” he’s basically a puppet in the hands of a stylish director who’s figured out how to manipulate him into something resembling a human being.

At some point or another, children come to realize that their parents are merely human beings, and there are things in their lives that these adults have hidden from them. In “Guest of Honour,” director Atom Egoyan tells the story of a father and daughter who discover that they don’t know as much about each other that they think they do.

Sitting across from a priest (a handsome Luke Wilson, giving the much-adored priest from “Fleabag” a run for his money), Veronica Davis (Laysla de Oliveira) is asked to remember her difficult relationship with her recently deceased father (David Thewlis).

Greg Kinnear is an Oscar-nominated actor that has starred in dozens of quality films over the last few decades. But up until now, he’s never stepped behind the camera. In the new dramedy, “Phil,” the actor-turned-director not only is the man at the helm but also the star of the show.

As seen in the trailer, “Phil” tells the story of, uh, Phil (Kinnear), a depressed dentist that begins to investigate the life of one of his patients after he learns that the patient committed suicide.

First, they attacked Paris. Then they destroyed New York. And in February, a random assortment of actors and filmmakers have their sights set on Berlin. The producers of the films “Paris, je t’aime” and “New York, I Love You” are returning with their latest anthology rom-com, “Berlin, I Love You.”

And in the first trailer for ‘Berlin,’ it’s exactly what you think a film like this would be.

What a year for westerns 2015 was. In “Bone Tomahawk” and “The Hateful Eight” we were gifted two frontier tales that violated the genre’s tropes with attitude, but retained a sense of respect for where they found their roots. Being as dated as it is, the western has to keep evolving in order to keep up, which can be difficult when the genre is so clearly rooted in traditionalist values.

While peak TV means that programming arrives all year-round, the summer season is still slightly less packed with programming than the rest of the year. So you might be looking for something to fill your Sunday nights once “Game Of Thrones” wraps, and “Roadies” might be the key. And to help get you ready, Showtime has dropped the premiere episode — directed by writer/creator Cameron Crowe — online, a full two weeks before it’s set to air.

Sure, summer is a big season for movies. It’s also a big deal for music, too, specifically festivals. The next few months are crammed with huge events from coast-to-coast, around the world, and those stages, lights, and more don’t go up by themselves. There’s a whole other world behind the scenes, and that’s where Cameron Crowe turns his attention in the upcoming Showtime series “Roadies.” A new trailer is here to bring you rock ‘n roll, and of course, a little bit of drama.

Though they got their start together in 1996’s “Bottle Rocket,” Wes Anderson’s directorial debut, it’s been a over a decade since acting brothers Luke and Owen Wilson worked together on a film. Their last effort together being 2005’s ill-fated “The Wendell Baker Story,” which Luke also wrote and co-directed with their brother, Andrew.

Since then, the Wilsons have taken two decidedly different career paths, with Owen staying predominantly on the big screen, with turns — both successful and not — in movies like “Wedding Crashers,” “You Me and Dupree,” “The Darjeeling Limited,” “Drillbit Taylor,” “Marmaduke,” “Hall Pass,” “Midnight in Paris,” “Marley and Me,” “The Internship,” “Inherent Vice” and the “Night at the Museum” films just to name a few.

While the behind-the-scenes worlds of movie and television productions are familiar to even the most casual of viewers, when it comes to concerts, the people who make the magic happen haven’t really had their due. Until now. This summer, Cameron Crowe brings “Roadies” to Showtime, and as the title indicates, it’s not the people on stage that will matter so much in this new series, but those tuning the guitars, and lugging the amps.
