At the start of this season, I fully expected to sit through eight hours of Midge's narcissistic bullshit, seething with rage as everyone continued to praise her comedic prowess while ignoring her more unattractive qualities. By this finale, I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was

“Partings” is directed by Amy Sherman-Palladino, who co-wrote the episode with Daniel Palladino. In their 2006 interview with Michael Ausiello, they insist the S6 ending was in no way a bitter sabotage. When Ausiello presses Amy, this is what she says:

"The Real Paul Anka" is directed and written by Daniel Palladino because of course it is! It features a dumb fucking dream that we are forced to suffer through, weird Kirk shit, and a lot of annoying April field trip antics. I don'
When I take the time to conduct an interview and review a film, you know the hype is real. I loved "The Long Walk" (2019) so much that talking with director Mattie Do was a must. She is one of those people with no filter, which is much
