Following the heartbreaking and all too frequent stories of systemic racism and police brutality against black people and people of color in this country, industry folk and audiences alike have begun to cast a critical eye against “cop shows” – in attempt to both understand and deconstruct how they may shape and perpetuate misconstrued perceptions of the police. Essentially, everyone is re-examing what they do and trying to see how they can better it.

One of these cop shows looking to make changes, is the comedy series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” In a recent conversation with Access Daily’s Kit Hoover and Scott Evans, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” star Terry Crews reveals that new scripts for the upcoming eighth season have been completely thrown out.

Earlier this year, NBC came in and saved the day for canceled comedy series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.” The Andy Samberg-starring series was cut by Fox after 5 seasons, only to have rival network NBC swoop in to bring the cop comedy back. And now, the comedy series is ready to venture into the realm of the #MeToo movement.

According to series co-creator Dan Goor, who spoke at a recent TCA event (via The Wrap), the series is looking to tackle the controversy in a thoughtful way in a future episode.

Terry Crews has been one of the outspoken men, who have come forward with their own tales of sexual harassment and assault as part of the #MeToo movement. For those that don’t know, Crews says that an unnamed agent has grabbed his genitals and threatened him while at a party in 2016. Since then, the actor has been speaking out against similar abuse in Hollywood. And today, he sat in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee to answer questions and to share his story.

**Massive Spoilers ahead for “Deadpool 2″** This weekend brought us the return of the hard-R, rapid-fire joke machine superhero, Deadpool. And it made megabucks, but unfortunately did not outgross the first film’s opening weekend. Oh well, I’m sure 20th Century Fox isn’t crying about a worldwide opening north of $300 million. Much like the incredibly popular first film, “Deadpool 2” is jam-packed with comedy, pop-culture references, and cameos.

The most remarkable thing you can probably say about Adam Sandler‘s “Sandy Wexler,” his third film for Netflix, is that it’s not an excuse to take a vacation to an exotic location. In fact, it looks like it was made on the cheap on studio backlots, so perhaps the streaming service is teaching the comedian to tighten his belt a bit. But at any rate, the results look just as dispiriting as you’d expect.

In 1996 when Wes Anderon’s “Bottle Rocket” first hit the scene, if we had to bet which Wilson brother would become a star, we surely wouldn’t have put our money on Owen, but maybe life is funny like that. There was “The Royal Tenenbaums” which he was one of the leads in (and he even did the celeb dating thing with Gwyneth Paltrow), but after that it’s been diminishing returns that really culminated in absolute dreck like “Henry Poole Is Here” (easily one of the worst films of 2008), the Jessica Simpson-starring dumped-in-a-handful-of-theaters bomb, “Blonde Ambition” and then the straight to DVD release, “Tenure.”

Directed by George Gallo, Wilson’s latest follows the true life story of businessmen Jack Harris and Wayne Beering, who pioneered porn entertainment in the early years of the internet, getting in over their heads with a colorful collection of criminal personalities.

Crews will be in both ‘Salvation’ and Sylvester Stallone’s “The Expendables” and was asked during an interview about ‘Expendables’ whether the Governor of California would also be involved in McG’s film: “Exactly – that’s it. And so am I.” This confirmation comes after months of speculation and misguided words by McG who, at first, teased fans about the cameo but then seemed to retract earlier comments.
