(He has never liked relaxing.) Half a century later, some Brits still remember his bread commercial. And then, on the big screen, he invented a new world. Smoke, steam, neon shadowlight on cybermorphic grime. Big Tech vast as…

Guess what kids? You never stop learning — even on summer break. As Labor Day weekend approaches and schools re-open their doors, Gold Derby can’t help but think about all the lessons we’ve absorbed since the Memorial Day holiday announced the start of the warm-weather season. Lessons like, Jacob Elordi and Zendaya made darn sure they got the Harrison Ford-in-The Force Awakens clause written into their Euphoria Season 3 contracts. Also, only Taylor Swift can convince celebrities to surrender their Instagram-connected smartphones. Oh yeah, and audiences will definitely pay to watch Anne Hathaway battle Meryl Streep and Robert Pattinson… but…

Lauren Smith/Paramount+ Paramount+’s “Lioness” is gritty, intense, and a vastly different beast to the other Taylor Sheridan TV shows which revolve around ranches, oil, and familial drama. The action-thriller sees Zoe Saldaña’s Joe McNamara lead a covert team of CIA operatives as they untangle global threats from the inside. Each season sees her recruit a new operator, but the core team always stays the same — including Bobby, the leader of the Quick Reaction Force. If the fierce and methodical fighter looks familiar, that’s because she’s played by actor Jill…
