It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia star Kaitlin Olson shines in her new series The Mick. Dee is a crass, unabashedly foul-mouthed drunk. Now imagine Dee Reynolds raising children. Thats what I got from watching Olsons new seriesThe Mick. The premise ofThe Mickis pretty simple. Olsons Mackenzie is a loose cannon with an affinity for alcohol and other assorted substances. But I keep on trekking every year. ButThe Mickgenuinely surprised me....

Screenwriter Jon Spaihts discusses his decade-long quest to see Passengers reach the screen. A kind of noir, sci-fi story that took a big hook into deep sci-fi at the end. Is there a story that might begin there? I thought, Okay, thats an interesting question. Nobody would volunteer for that job. That would be the loneliest person in the universe.
