Well, "The Last Of Us" Delivered Another Heartbreaking (But Beautiful) Episode, And Everyone Has The Same Reactions Because They Are So Accurate
🚨 There are massive — and I mean MASSIVE — spoilers ahead for The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6! 🚨
Whelp, this week's The Last of Us was another emotionally devastating one, and arguably the best of the season. The newest episode titled "The Price," was written by Neil Druckmann, Halley Gross, and Craig Mazin, and directed by Neil. Halley and Neil are notably the writers behind The Last of Us Part II game.
The episode utilized all flashbacks to showcase Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie's (Bella Ramsey) relationship and what exactly caused the rift between the two of them that we see at the beginning of Season 2. The episode delivered some big moments from the game, like Joel gifting Ellie a guitar for her birthday, and singing "Future Days."
It also included one of the most beautiful scenes from The Last of Us Part II, which is when Joel surprises Ellie for her birthday by taking her to a space museum.
Of course, while the father-daughter happy moments are some of the best, The Last of Us also delivered some soul-crushing moments. Like, what exactly led to Joel killing Eugene (Joe Pantoliano), and Ellie realizing that he lied about what happened with the Fireflies.
While the whole episode is a testament to Neil and Halley's love of the story, and Pedro and Bella's undeniable chemistry, it's the famous porch scene that really makes this episode a bittersweet masterpiece, with us learning that Ellie and Joel actually did talk after the dance (the night before his death).
So, naturally, because this was such a huge episode, fans — like me — took to Twitter to voice their opinions over this latest episode, make some incredible jokes, and give A+ commentary about "The Price." So, here are some of the best tweets about The Last of Us Season 2, Episode 6:

Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver offer differing takes on son's nude scene on ‘The White Lotus'
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have shared their initial reactions to watching their son Patrick Schwarzenegger strip down on-camera for ' The White Lotus,' revealing starkly different perspectives. 'I couldn't believe (it). I said to myself, 'I'm watching your show, and I'm watching your butt sticking out there.' And all of a sudden, I see the weenie,' the former California governor candidly recalled during a joint appearance with his son on Variety's video series 'Actors on Actors,' released Tuesday, June 3. 'What is going on here? This is crazy.' Patrick's full-frontal nude scene was part of his role as Saxon Ratliff on the HBO show's third season. While his father emphasized his initial shock at the scene, which he watched during an advance screening ahead of its premiere, his mother shared during separate interviews that she was unfazed. "People are like, 'Oh my God, you saw!' (and) I'm like, 'I gave birth to him,'" Shriver said during a Tuesday appearance on 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show.' "I've seen him naked since he was a baby." The former journalist, who was married to Arnold for 25 years, previously told People Magazine that she didn't even notice the nudity when she first watched the episode. "I'm just looking at him and his craft really," she said Tuesday, noting she only realized after her other children —Patrick's siblings Kathernine, Christina and Christopher — pointed it out. Though Arnold was appalled at first, he said that he quickly came to the same conclusion as his ex-wife, and acknowledged that his son was simply following in his own footsteps. 'I said to myself, 'Well, Arnold, hello. You did the same thing in 'Conan' and 'Terminator,' so don't complain about it,'' he said, referring to his own nude scenes. By the time Patrick's racy scene on 'The White Lotus' aired, Arnold had made his peace with it and even trolled him on social media, joking that 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' During the father-son duo's recent 'Actors on Actors' interview, Arnold went on to speak with his son about nepotism and privilege within the industry, and how one rises above that. 'If you show you have the substance, you can get rid of the whole idea of nepotism,' Arnold said, directly addressing his son. 'You have never asked me to call a studio or to call an agent. You never asked me for advice when it comes to acting itself. You're a rare breed.' Shriver expressed a similar sense of pride toward her son. "I think people, when they see somebody in a show like that, they don't realize how much leads up to that moment,' she said. 'They don't realize how hard he's worked or how many roles he hasn't gotten."

The Real-Life Tech Bros that Inspired HBO Max's 'Mountainhead'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The newest project from "Succession" creator Jesse Armstrong, "Mountainhead" follows the story of four tech billionaires as they are isolated on a weekend retreat in the mountains while multiple disasters due to AI deep fakes take place around the world, with each mogul considering how to use the chaos to their advantage. The film stars Steve Carell as Randall Garrett, Jason Schwartzman as Hugo "Souper" Van Yalk, Cory Michael Smith as Venis "Ven" Parish, and Ramy Yousseff as Jeffrey "Jeff" Abredazi. More Entertainment: How To Watch the New Jesse Armstrong Film 'Mountainhead' After premiering on HBO Max on May 31, multiple questions have been brought up regarding whether the film is based on real events and who each billionaire is specifically based on. So let's take a look at everyone and everything in 'Mountainhead.' Cory Michael Smith, Steve Carell, Ramy Youssef, and Jason Schwartzman in HBO's 'Mountainhead.' Cory Michael Smith, Steve Carell, Ramy Youssef, and Jason Schwartzman in HBO's 'Mountainhead.' Fred Hayes/HBO Is 'Mountainhead' Based on a True Story? While the events in "Mountainhead" seem unfortunately plausible in a modern world, nothing that happens is actually based on real events; instead, it operates as a look at the rising fears surrounding artificial intelligence. More Entertainment: Stephen King 'Carrie' Remake Officially Reveals Main Cast Particularly, Armstrong notes that "Mountainhead" looks at possible events AI leaders have warned about. "If somebody who knows the technology better than anyone in the world thinks there's a 1/5th chance that it's going to wipe out humanity—and they're some of the optimists—I think that's legitimately quite unnerving," Armstrong said, per Andrew R. Chow of Time. Who is 'Mountainhead' Based On? While the plot of "Mountainhead" is not based on a true story, its characters do take inspiration from real people. Specifically, Armstrong refers to the four leads as "Frankenstein monsters with limbs sewn together," breaking them down into four archetypes: The Father, The Dynamo, The Usurper, and The Hanger On. Carell's Randall Garrett is The Father, the eldest member of the group and an investor in the others' projects. He is based on Marc Andreessen and Peter Thiel, the latter of whom founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook. More Entertainment: Cory Michael Smith Embraces Chaos in Jesse Armstrong's 'Mountainhead' Speaking of Facebook, Smith's Venis "Ven" Parish is based on the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Known as The Dynamo, he is the richest of the group, founder of the social media company Traam, and created the AI programs that led to the aforementioned disasters While Youseff's Jeffrey "Jeff" Abredazi and Schwartzman's Hugo "Souper" Van Yalk don't necessarily have direct real world interpretations, their archetypes can easily be seen in the world of tech. Abredazi is The Usurper, looking to constantly improve his status and rise in the ranks of the tech industry no matter what. Van Yalk is The Hanger On, the poorest of the group and operating as an outsider, he is constantly trying to win the approval of the other three. Where was 'Mountainhead' Filmed? The entirety of "Mountainhead" takes place at Hugo's mansion in the mountains, and it turns out that this is a real spot. Located in Park City, Utah, the mansion is actually a ski home in Deer Valley Resort designed by Upwall Design Architects.

‘My Mom Jayne': Mariska Hargitay is reclaiming her family story in HBO doc about her iconic mother
Mariska Hargitay was just 3 years old when her mother, Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield, died in a car accident at the age of 34. Nearly six decades later, the Emmy-winning actress makes her feature directorial debut with the documentary My Mom Jayne, which explores her personal journey to understand, honor, and embrace her mother's legacy. Through intimate interviews and an extensive collection of never-before-seen photos and home movies, Hargitay grapples with her mother's complicated public and private legacy, uncovering the surprising layers and depth of who Mansfield was, not only to her fans, but also to those closest to her. The HBO documentary premieres June 27 (8 p.m. ET/PT) and will be available to stream on Max. More from GoldDerby Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell take 'A Big Bold Beautiful Journey' in today's top stories Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez on how the 'Agatha All Along' cast 'became a coven' when recording 'The Ballad of the Witches' Road' 'Difficult times,' 'screaming matches,' and 'abandonment': David Duchovny and Chris Carter rehash their drama on 'The X-Files' Through deeply personal interviews with her siblings — who each has their own memories of their mother — and an excavation of the photographs, letters, and cherished belongings Mansfield left behind, Hargitay assembles a new picture of the extraordinary, complex woman whose image and legacy she resisted for so many years. With courage and vulnerability, the Law & Order: SVU star engages in the process of opening herself to a new, hard-won collection of memories — and a deeper level of truth. "I've spent my whole life distancing myself from my mother," Hargitay says in the trailer. "Her career made me want to do it differently, but I want to understand her now." Hargitay also delves into family secrets — including the discovery that her own biological father wasn't who she believed him to be. For most of her life, Hargitay thought her father was Mickey Hargitay, a Hungarian-born actor who was married to Mansfield from 1958 to 1964. In the documentary, the actress confirms her real father is singer Nelson Sardelli, whom she first met when she was 30 years old. Featuring film clips from Mansfield's work in the 1950s and '60s, archival footage from her many talk show appearances and interviews, as well as striking personal footage, the film contextualizes the dazzling star power of the most photographed Hollywood celebrity of her day. A story of loss and longing, healing and transformation, My Mom Jayne is a testament to the rewards of an unflinching search for truth, unveiling Hargitay's journey to reclaim her mother's story — and her own. Featured participants in the documentary include Hargitay's siblings Jayne Marie Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay, Jr., Zoltan Hargitay, and Tony Cimber; stepmother Ellen Hargitay; and Jayne Mansfield's press secretary Raymond 'Rusty' Strait.
