“Miller’s Girl,” about a relationship that develops between a wise-beyond-her-years teenager and her intellectually undernourished teacher, feels like catnip for the circular discourse of Film Twitter, but it’s hard to tell where a study of post-#MeToo power dynamics will land with moviegoers in the real world.

Written, produced and directed by Jade Halley Bartlett, the film is both impressively erudite and unrelentingly self-aware, a combination it bravely attempts but doesn’t quite fully balance. But Jenna Ortega’s movie-star confidence in the title role more than eclipses Martin Freeman’s shoe-leather character acting, a perhaps inevitable outcome given the age and gender politics exercised in its story — but not necessarily one that gets at something truly interesting.

Ortega (“Wednesday”) plays Cairo Sweet, a high school student living in a small Tennessee town while her absent lawyer parents travel the globe on unnamed business. Summed up with cheeky precision...

Unscripted TV For the Soul and How Nostalgia Sells

When it comes to unscripted television,...

The Brady Bunch house is on the market, complete with the same interiors as the 1970s TV show.

After a renovation that took place in less than five years, HGTV is selling the five-bed, five-bath Los Angeles home at an asking price of $5.5 million, significantly higher than the network bought it for at $3.5 million.

After buying the house on 11222 Dilling Street in 2018, HGTV touched up the facade and redid the interiors, adding a second story to recreate the show’s living room, kitchen, bedrooms and yard, which were all shot on sets at Paramount Studios. The construction process was filmed in a 2019 series entitled A Very Brady Renovation and saw cast members and HGTV talent work to make the fictional home a reality. The series was popular, garnering 28 million viewers across four weeks.

The network reportedly invested $1.9 million to renovate the home, which went on to appear in several HGTV...

The Brady Bunch house is back on the market — and, this time, it comes with the interiors of your 1970s TV dreams.

HGTV is selling the Studio City home pictured in hundreds of establishing shots on the famous sitcom not five years after purchasing it for $3.5 million. And given the competitive Los Angeles housing market and the dramatic changes the property’s undergone, it’s going to cost the next buyer a bit more. The asking price is $5.5 million.

Such is the premium for authenticity. After buying 11222 Dilling Street in 2018, the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned network rejuvenated the facade and gutted its interiors — adding a second story to meticulously re-create the show’s living room, kitchen, bedrooms and yard that all previously only existed on Stage 5 of Paramount Studios. The process was chronicled in 2019 event series A Very Brady Renovation, recruiting surviving cast members and HGTV talent to bring the fictional home to life.

The Critics Choice Association (Cca) unveiled the nominees for the fifth annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards that honors the best in nonfiction, unscripted and reality programming.

Leading the nominations list was RuPaul’s Drag Race and RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars earning a combined total of five nods including Best Competition Series. RuPaul would also score individual nominations for Best Show Host and Star of the Year.

“Looking over the list of this year’s nominees, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate the fifth annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards than by calling attention to so many of the talented and diverse individuals who continue to make unscripted television an essential genre on broadcast, cable and streaming,” said Critics Choice Association TV Branch Co-President Ed Martin.

Other nominees included Vanderpump Rules, fresh off of the “Scandoval,” and Joanna Gaines for her cooking show Magnolia Table. Selena Gomez...

Apparently Paramount+’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race All-Stars” were given carte blanche to sashay away, as the reality juggernauts lead the nominees for the fifth annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards with five combined nominations over four categories, including Best Competiton Series and Best Ensemble Cast in an Unscripted Series.

“Looking over the list of this year’s nominees, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate the fifth annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards than by calling attention to so many of the talented and diverse individuals who continue to make unscripted television an essential genre on broadcast, cable and streaming,” said Critics Choice Association TV Branch Co-President Ed Martin.

A few hours before she’s set to take the stage as a quasi-Barbie doll drag queen known for her biting sense of humor and warm, honeyed voice, Trixie Mattel is just Brian Firkus — a “bald, unprepossessing person, who’s not from a great family, not from a happy background, who has used a bucket of paint to cheat the system,” as Firkus puts it plainly.

At the moment, Firkus, 32, is lounging in a robe at the Ritz-Carlton Perth, reminiscing over Zoom about his start more than a decade ago...

Trixie Mattel is ready to take Palm Springs by storm. In the new discovery+ series Trixie Motel, the drag queen, whose real name is Brian Firkus, and her partner David Silver take viewers behind the scenes as they transform a dilapidated motel into a place worthy of the distinctive Palm Springs community. Throughout the eight episodes, the couple is joined by friends, some more helpful than others.

Trixie Mattel tapped Austin-based singer-songwriter Shakey Graves for a performance of “This Town” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday.

Decked out in vintage-inspired Western gear, Mattel and Co. channeled Grand Ole Opry nostalgia for the rendition of the track from the RuPaul’s Drag Race star’s forthcoming double LP, The Blonde & Pink Albums.

The collaboration between Mattel and Graves — which Rolling Stone called “purely bittersweet” and “unsentimental” — served as the second single from The Blonde & Pink Albums. It was followed by the semi-biographical ode to Loretta Lynn, “C’mon Loretta.

June marks Pride Month, and the history and achievements of LGBTQ communities will be celebrated across the TV landscape with series and specials, including live streaming coverage of Pride parades in Los Angeles and New York.
