Christa Miller is no stranger to hugely successful TV shows. She appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Seinfeld, did over 180 episodes on The Drew Carey Show, over 80 on Scrubs, over 100 on Cougar Town, and now she’s a standout on an Apple TV+ gem, a series gearing up for what will hopefully be quite the awards season run, Shrinking.The series was co-created by Bill Lawrence, Brett Goldstein, and Jason Segel with Segel also starring as Jimmy Laird, a therapist struggling with the death of his wife. That means Jimmy hasn’t been the responsible, attentive parent he needs to be for his daughter, Alice (Lucite Maxwell). But, that’s where Miller’s Liz comes in. She’s the Lairds’ neighbor and the person who winds up taking responsibility for Alice when she needs support and an active guardian. Liz has a massive heart and many assets, but stepping back isn’t one of them, so Jimmy finally starts to make moves to put his life back together and reconnect with Alice, Liz isn’t quite ready to hand the reins over.In

It’s been less than two years since Daniela Melchior broke out in Hollywood with the release of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, but she’s already part of three of the biggest film franchises of all time — DC and now Marvel thanks to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and the Fast and Furious series after making her debut as Isabel in Fast X.In Guardians, Melchior got a role that Gunn wrote specifically for her — Ura, the OrgoCorp employee forced/compelled/conned into helping the Guardians on their mission to steal Rocket’s file from the Orgosphere. Then, in Fast X, Melchior steps in as a character related to a past favorite. She plays Isabel, Elena’s (Elsa Pataky) sister.With both movies now playing in theaters nationwide, Melchior returned to Collider Ladies Night for another interview to dig into this next stage of her flourishing career.Note: There are a few audio glitches in this episode due to filming virtually.

Collider Forces is all about highlighting artists who are changing film and television for the better. Do you know who’s having that kind of impact on the industry? Someone who’s made such a significant impression that we can already see the ripple effect she started? Director and cinematographer, Rachel Morrison, the first woman to ever score a cinematography Academy Award nomination.In celebration of Morrison’s work as a director on Season 3 of The Mandalorian, she joined me for a Collider Forces interview to discuss how she managed to break through in a male-dominated sector of the industry, and then do it yet again when making a name for herself as a director in addition to continuing her work as a cinematographer.During our Collider Forces conversation, Morrison revisited her journey from reality TV to scoring her Oscar nomination to jumping into Star Wars!

From powering through a post-apocalyptic wasteland in Mad Max: Fury Road to trying to survive the wilderness with a group of teenagers who turn to violence and cannibalism in Yellowjackets, Courtney Eaton is loading up her filmography with ambitious projects, and excelling in them.Eaton quickly emerged as one of the most curious characters in Yellowjackets Season 1 playing Lottie. Soon after the plane crashes in the wilderness and Lottie runs out of her medication, the unusual behavior begins. Bad feelings about the cabin in Episode 2, a supposed possession in Episode 5, and visions in Episode 6 all pave the way to increasingly dark and occasionally violent behavior. But how much of it is her fault? Can we blame the mushrooms, the absence of Lottie’s medication, and perhaps the other Yellowjackets for warping Lottie’s words and intentions? That’s exactly what I discussed with Eaton on a brand new episode of Collider Ladies Night! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Liv Hewson is a must-know force in film and television for a number of reasons. Not only are they a standout in the hit Showtime series Yellowjackets and an artist who exudes passion for their craft and a deep appreciation for the collaborative nature of creating a film or series, but they’re also making choices that will help pave the way to parity in the industry. It’s an honor to call Hewson the very first guest on our new interview series, Collider Forces — an interview series they helped inspire.Collider Forces is a long overdue expansion of Collider Ladies Night, one that gives us the opportunity to include more voices. Thanks to Hewson’s work, their approach to their craft, and how they operate in this business and beyond, the recognition of a need for change was turned into action, and now we have Collider Forces, an interview series dedicated to highlighting artists in film and television who are changing the industry for the better, particularly voices that should have been amplified all along. Coll

Not only is it a colossal challenge trying to spark a career in film and television, but once you get there, the pressure rarely lets up. How does one manage such non-stop stressors, especially the ones that are entirely out of an artist's control? There’s no be-all, end-all answer to that question, but over the years, Katherine McNamara’s built up an especially effective and inspiring set of tools and ideas to ensure she’ll continue forging forward, and likely inspire others to do the same in the process.McNamara joined me for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to put the spotlight on two recent projects, Charlie Day’s feature directorial debut, Fool’s Paradise, and her new CW series, Walker: Independence, which sadly was canceled the day after we recorded. Fool’s Paradise stars Day as a mute man who’s plucked off the street by Ray Liotta’s character, a producer desperate to replace an actor who won’t come out of his trailer and, it turns out, Day’s character looks exactly like this actor. As for Walker: I

Jasmin Savoy Brown’s been racking up impressive film and television credits for quite some time, but she skyrocketed to the top of the Collider Ladies Night guest bucket list in January 2022 courtesy of Scream.Yes, there are many pre-Scream titles of Brown’s I’d highly recommend — The Leftovers, Laggies, and Sound of Violence being major standouts — but Brown carries one particular scene in Scream that quickly became a favorite scene of the franchise, and of all-time — the scene in which Mindy explains the rules of the new movie. It’s brilliant writing, but it’s also dialogue that only works in the hands of the most adept performer, someone who’s able to play into the comedic meta nature of the franchise while also respecting the fact that the series has amassed a slew of diehard fans. “To some people, the original is their favorite thing in the world, the movie that made them love horror, that mom or dad showed them when they were 10 that bonded them together.” That right there is me, and Brown delivers that

We’ve seen quite a few actors make a big impression via a first feature, but Priya Kansara does it in spectacular fashion in Polite Society. Kansara does it all in the film.She leads as Ria, a young woman who dreams of becoming a stunt performer when she grows up. Her parents may not be wholeheartedly behind the idea, but that’s not stopping Ria. She’s determined to achieve her dream, and she’s equally determined to help her sister, Lena (Ritu Arya), achieve her dream of becoming an artist. Trouble is, Lena’s lost faith in herself. Soon after dropping out of art school, Lena finds herself on what some might consider a more traditional path, and Ria isn’t having it. Lena falls for a guy who ticks all the boxes and then some, and the two quickly become engaged. Convinced something isn’t quite right with Lena’s new beau, Ria sets out to expose him, end their relationship, and nudge Lena back on the path of putting herself first and becoming an artist.Polite Society has a little of everything. It’s a moving comin

There is no higher Evil Dead honor than to wield the chainsaw and Boomstick, and Evil Dead Rise star Lily Sullivan certainly makes the most of that opportunity in the new film.She leads as Beth, a guitar technician who’s often on the road and isn’t the best at returning her sister Ellie’s (Alyssa Sullivan) phone calls. However, at the beginning of the film, Beth is compelled to head back to Los Angeles for a visit. What she hopes will be some much-needed quality time with her sister and her three kids (Morgan Davis, Gabrielle Echols, and Nell Fisher) turns into an utter nightmare when a Necronomicon surfaces. The book quickly consumes Ellie with its evil, leaving Beth as the sole guardian and protector of the kids.With Evil Dead Rise now playing in theaters nationwide, Sullivan joined me for a Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party chat to recap her journey in the industry thus far from her earliest sets to living up to Bruce Campbell-level expectations as the Evil Dead film franchise's newest chainsaw and shotgun-w

Yellowjackets is a true casting feat. Not only did creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson and casting directors Libby Goldstein and Julie Lowry-Johnson find the perfect pairings for the 1996 and present-day versions of the characters, but they also managed to pinpoint some of the most promising young talent on the rise in film and television, talent like Samantha Hanratty.Hanratty plays the 1996 version of Misty on Yellowjackets. Before the Wiskayok High School soccer team’s plane crashes, Misty is a total outcast, an overeager equipment manager who just wants to be part of the group. When the plane goes down in the wilderness on the way to nationals, Misty finally gets a taste of what it’s like to be wanted. As the only crash survivor with medical know-how, the other Yellowjackets turn to Misty for triage and recovery. Trouble is, that inspires Misty to secretly destroy the plane’s emergency transmitter so that she can retain her newfound value rather t

You don’t get a better Evil Dead deadite performance than what Alyssa Sutherland delivers in the franchise’s newest installment, Evil Dead Rise.Sutherland plays Ellie in the film. She lives in a Los Angeles apartment building with her three kids, Danny (Morgan Davies), Bridget (Gabrielle Echols), and Kassie (Nell Fisher). When Ellie’s sister, Beth (Lily Sullivan), comes for a visit, their opportunity to reconnect is obliterated by the discovery of a Necronomicon. When the book is opened and the spell is recited, its evil is unleashed and goes straight into Ellie turning her into a deadite and sparking maximum chaos and carnage in the building.In celebration of Evil Dead Rise’s nationwide theatrical release, Sutherland took the time to join me for a Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party conversation to discuss her journey in film and television thus far.Hear all about it on this edition of Collider Ladies Night!

Michelle Rodriguez aims to work with rebels in this industry, and she’s also a true rebel herself. Over the years, Rodriguez has solidified herself as an undeniable force in Hollywood both on screen and behind the scenes via her determination to fight for herself and for the characters she plays. That right there is the definition of an ideal Collider Ladies Night guest. A personal bucket list guest, in fact.Rodriguez carved out the time for an appearance on the show in celebration of her newest release, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Rodriguez plays Holga Kilgore in the movie, a barbarian who’s been exiled by her tribe and now lives and steals alongside Chris Pine’s Edgin Darvis. In an effort to pull off an epic heist and snag a lost relic, Holga and Edgin form a party of unlikely heroes and embark on a journey filled with creatures, spells, delightful cameos, and an especially chilling Red Wizard (Daisy Head).Hear all about Rodriguez's journey from Karyn Kusama's Girlfight to Dungeons and Dragon

With Scream VI now playing in theaters nationwide, franchise newcomer Liana Liberato joined me for a Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party conversation to recap her journey from aspiring actor to becoming an unforgettable and significant new addition to Scream canon.The sixth installment finds Tara (Jenna Ortega), Chad (Mason Gooding), and Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown) in New York City for college with Sam (Melissa Barrera) tagging along to make sure her sister and friends stay safe. While Chad and Mindy opt for the dorms, Tara and Sam get an off-campus apartment and find a roommate to share it with via the internet. That roommate is Liberato’s Quinn Bailey, the daughter of an NYPD detective (Dermot Mulroney). As one might expect, a new Ghostface killer emerges in The Big Apple putting a target on everyone’s back while also making each and every one of them a potential suspect.Hear all about Liberato's journey to Scream and get LOADS of Scream 6 spoiler talk in this edition of Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party!

Dominique Fishback has an open invitation to Collider Ladies Night for a number of reasons. First, she’s incredibly talented and has a wild amount of range. Second, she recognizes that range and uses it by loading up her filmography with a wide variety of projects, all with complex characters that demand she flexes her acting muscles to the fullest. On top of all of that? Not only is it abundantly career that Fishback pours maximum heart and thought into her craft, but she always exudes deep passion when discussing it. There’s no better Collider Ladies Night guest than that.In her latest see-it-to-believe-it production, Fishback stars as Dre in Prime Video’s Swarm. Dre grew up a massive fan of pop culture icon Ni’Jah. Whereas her sister (Chloe Bailey) grew out of the fandom, Dre’s obsession has intensified and now, as an adult, her dedication to Ni’Jah often sends her to extremely dark, dangerous places.Whether you’re a singer, an actor, or pursuing any other craft in the entertainment industry, with success

It isn’t easy thriving in two different sectors of the entertainment industry, but Chloe Bailey is absolutely soaring as a singer and actress, right alongside her sister, Halle Bailey. In addition to finding great success as Chloe x Halle, the Bailey sisters started carving out some significant space for themselves in film and television via the ABC sitcom Grown-ish. When that show came to an end, both continued to pursue both crafts, racking up a number of impressive acting credits along the way. Halle Bailey, of course, is our new Ariel in the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, and Chloe Bailey’s filmography is packed with bold titles that offer the opportunity to explore complex characters like the Netflix film, Jane, and now the new Prime Video series, Swarm.From co-creators Janine Nabers and Donald Glover, Swarm stars Dominique Fishback as Dre, a woman living with her sister (Bailey’s Marissa) who grew up obsessed with a pop star called Ni’Jah and remains a diehard fan as an adult. As s

I always want more time at the end of interviews, but especially at the end of interviews with Melissa Barrera. I had the pleasure of having her on Collider Ladies Night in January of 2022 for the release of Scream and every single answer was thoughtful, detailed, and oozing with passion for her craft. A year later, nothing has changed in that respect, but Barrera has experienced a bit of an evolution in terms of the types of projects she finds herself drawn to and the goals she has for herself in the business.In her latest release, Scream VI, Barrera returns as Samantha Carpenter, the daughter of Billy Loomis (Skeet Ulrich) and one of the survivors of the 2022 Woodsboro massacre. When Chad (Mason Gooding), Mindy (Jasmin Savoy Brown), and her sister Tara (Jenna Ortega) move to New York City for college, Sam tags along so she can do everything in her power to keep her loved ones safe. That dedication is put to the test when a new Ghostface emerges and threatens to tear the “Core Four” apart.In celebration of t

Cleopatra Coleman’s already accomplished quite a bit in film and television, but 2023 is looking to be an especially big year for the soaring star.First she starred opposite Mia Goth and Alexander Skarsgård in Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool, a film about a couple who learn about an especially twisted law in the fictional seaside country of Li Tolqa. After being sentenced to death for hitting and killing a local man while driving back to their resort, Skarsgård’s James learns there’s a way out — but only for the wealthy. For a hefty price, James can pay to be cloned and have that duplicate executed in his place.Soon after Infinity Pool arrived on January 27th, A Lot of Nothing made its way into theaters. In that one, Coleman stars opposite Y’lan Noel as Vanessa and James, a couple who opt to take matters into their own hands when they find out their neighbor is the LAPD officer responsible for the latest instance of an officer killing an unarmed victim.Next up on Coleman’s 2023 schedule? Zack Snyder’s new

Do you know who made the absolute most out of her Hollywood breakout opportunity? Storm Reid. Not only is she exceptional in Ava DuVernay’s adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, but ever since, she’s been scooping up a wide variety of projects and delivering big in every single one including Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man, playing Zendaya’s sister in Euphoria, and then some. (Also, be sure to check out Reid’s underseen pre-A Wrinkle in Time title, Sleight directed by J.D. Dillard.) Next up on Reid’s list? A movie in the screen thriller subgenre, Missing, from the filmmakers behind 2018’s Searching.Reid stars as June, a typical teenager who butts heads with her mother (Nia Long) and leaves the majority of her check-in text messages unanswered. June gets a hefty dose of that digital radio silence herself when her mom never returns from her trip to Colombia with her new boyfriend. Desperate to find her and frustrated with the significant amount of i

It’s Collider Ladies Night Pre-Party time and that means we’ve got an actor on the rise you absolutely must keep an eye on. It’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’s Katy O’Brian.In the MCU’s latest, Scott (Paul Rudd), Cassie (Kathryn Newton), Hope (Evangeline Lilly), Janet (Michelle Pfeiffer), and Hank (Michael Douglas) are all sucked into the Quantum Realm. After being separated on the way in, Scott and Cassie try to track down Hope, Janet, and Hank, and along the way, they run into the Freedom Fighters and learn there’s a brutal force threatening all life in the Quantum Realm (and beyond) — Kang the Conqueror (Jonathan Majors). Led by O’Brian’s Jentorra, the Freedom Fighters have tried everything to put a stop to Kang. Even though Jentorra’s wary of anyone who comes from above, she eventually comes to realize that Scott, Cassie, and the others could be key to finally taking The Conqueror down once and for all.With Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania now playing in theaters nationwide, O’Brian took the time to
