The Last Shift

March 9, 2017

Director Andrew Cohn

Genre Comedy

Cast Richard Jenkins, Shane Paul McGhie, Ed O’Neill, Allison Tolman

Rating R

Release Date September 25th, 2020 (Limited & On-Demand)

“Stanley’s last shift at his fast food job takes an unexpected turn.”

The Last Shift is an American story about two men struggling in the same town, while worlds apart. Stanley (Richard Jenkins), an aging fast-food worker, plans to call it quits after 38 years on the graveyard shift at Oscar’s Chicken and Fish. His last weekend takes a turn while training his replacement, Jevon (Shane Paul McGhie), a talented but stalled young writer whose provocative politics keep landing him in trouble. These two who share little in common are brought together through circumstance. Stanley, a high school dropout who has watched life pass by his drive-through window, proudly details the nuances of the job. While Jevon, a columnist who’s too smart to be flipping patties, contends their labor is being exploited. A flicker of comradery sparks during the long overnight hours in a quiet kitchen.

Cast: Richard Jenkins Shane Paul McGhie Da'Vine Joy Randolph Birgundi Baker Allison Tolman Ed O'Neill Written and Directed by: Andrew Cohn

“Five friends with big egos and slightly arrogant attitudes are the proprietors of an Irish pub in Philadelphia.”

Love it or hate it, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is an AMAZINGLY raunchy and ridiculous show - and I will be watching every single episode.

Check out the official trailer for the new season below!!

Cast Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley

Rating TV-14

Season Premiere Tuesday September 25th, 2018 9:00 PM EST (NBC)

“A heartwarming and emotional story about a unique set of triplets, their struggles, and their wonderful parents.”

The critically acclaimed NBC drama This Is Us broke out two years ago with it's debut season and hasn't looked back, stunning audiences with a unique blend of comedy and dramatic real-life situations. The cast is absolutely stellar, and I can honestly say this is one of if not my overall favorite new show simply because of how rare it is for a T.V. show to display this much genuine emotion and heart (keep the tissues close by) - and this show takes risks other shows simply aren't willing to take. The cast includes Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley and Chrissy Metz. Check out a season 2 recap and a sneak peek for Season 3 below!!

Ted Takes Fun Facts, This Is Us:

  • Mandy Moore, the youngest actor in the main cast, won her role after an audition suggested by writer Dan Fogelman, whom she knew from working on Tangled (2010).

  • Almost completely broke when she landed the role of Kate on the series, Chrissy Metz only had 81 cents in her bank account when she auditioned.

  • Jack, played by Milo Ventimiglia, is the only main character to appear in every episode in the first season.

Cast Ryan Eggold, Christopher Cassarino, Vera Lam, Stacey Raymond

Rating TV-14

Series Premiere  Tuesday September 25th, 2018 (NBC - Following This Is Us)

“A new medical director breaks the rules to heal the system at America’s oldest public hospital.”

A new medical drama is hitting NBC this fall, following Dr. Max Goodwin (Ryan Eggold) as he becomes the medical director of one of the United States' oldest public hospitals, aiming to reform the neglected facility to provide exceptional care to patients. The cast includes Ryan Eggold, Christopher Cassarino, Vera Lam, and Stacey Raymond. Check out the official trailer below!!

“Dr. Max Goodwin is brilliant, charming — and the new medical director at America’s oldest public hospital. While he’s set on tearing down the bureaucracy to provide exceptional care, the doctors and staff are not so sure. They’ve heard this before, and no one else has delivered on those promises. Not taking “no” for an answer, Max disrupts the status quo and proves he will stop at nothing to breathe new life into this understaffed, underfunded and underappreciated hospital — the only one in the world capable of treating Ebola patients, prisoners from Rikers Island and the president of the United States all under one roof — and return it to the glory that put it on the map. Inspired by Bellevue in New York City.”
