One Of Raw’s Most Disturbing Scenes Was Much More Real Than You Think Focus World By Witney Seibold/Dec. 8, 2021 4:16 pm EST Director Julia Ducourneau doesn’t consider her 2016 film “Raw” a horror film.

Ted Lasso Star Hannah Waddingham Heading To Tom Jones Remake For Masterpiece Apple TV+ By Kaylee Dugan/Sept. 30, 2021 9:42 pm EST In what feels like a deeply British series of events, “Ted Lasso” actress Hannah Waddingham has officially joined the cast of “Tom Jones.” That’s right, your favorite fictional feisty football owner has set her eyes on the miniseries based on the classic British novel, which has nothing to do with the Welsh singer Tom Jones, even if the title does trigger “It’s Not Unusual” to start blaring in your head....
