The Schmooze Judd Apatow’s New Movie Is The Rom-Com We’ve Been Waiting For
The romantic comedy has not caught up with the 21st century. The genre continues to be the whitest, most conventional, most formulaic movies at the box office.

The Schmooze WATCH: Carrie Fisher Shines In The Last Role She Ever Filmed
It’s fitting that the last role Carrie Fisher ever filmed features her airing her opinions on mental illness, offending someone, and being so enchanting that we miss her before she’s even gone from the screen.
