103 Thoughts I Had While Watching Netflix's ‘Nonnas'

103 Thoughts I Had While Watching Netflix's ‘Nonnas'

Vogue16-05-2025
Nonnas is a very special movie for me. In addition to currently being the number-one film on Netflix, it also stars Vince Vaughn, the only man in history that both my mother and I have mutually crushed on. Granted, our infatuation dates to Wedding Crashers more than to his present-day deal, but I'm still glad to see him in this movie about a man who opens an Italian restaurant with a bunch of nonnas—a.k.a. Italian grandmothers—as chefs, played by a veritable murderer's row of MILFs (or GILFs?): Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, and Susan Sarandon. Let's dive in, shall we?

Hank Hill returns to a changed world in new 'King of the Hill' episodes

Hank Hill returns to a changed world in new 'King of the Hill' episodes

NEW YORK (AP) — Hank Hill is back and he's the same ol' Hank Hill, but a lot of things around him have changed. The lovable animated hero of 'King of the Hill' has returned from a 15-year lull and he isn't sure what boba tea is, how ridesharing works and is confused by all-gender bathrooms. 'What kind of food is poke?' he asks his wife, Peggy. Hank and Peggy have returned to their hometown of Arlon, Texas — and our TV sets — but a lot has happened over the years and they're stepping into a world they doesn't always recognize. 'Hank, have things changed here more than we thought?' Peggy asks, worried, in the first new episode. 'Did we make a mistake coming back?' Hulu is definitely hoping not, reuniting many of the same writers and voice cast who turned the propane-loving, beer-sipping Hill into one of TV's few blue-collar icons. The first 10 episodes hit Hulu on Monday. A new 'King of the Hill' leader Saladin K. Patterson, the executive producer and showrunner for the new season 14, hopes the original fans will return to see how Hill copes in the modern day. 'That's always key because you want that core fan base to validate what you've done because they're like the gatekeepers in a way,' he says. 'So when they sign off and say, 'OK, they didn't mess it up, it's still the same special show,' I think other people who may be unfamiliar with it, or even on the fence, feel like, 'OK, well, now we want to like it.'' Viewers will learn that Hank and Peggy have been in Saudi Arabia all this time, where he served as 'assistant manager in charge of Arabian propane and Arabian propane accessories.' Their son Bobby, now 21, is the chef of a 'down home, German-Asian fusion' restaurant. (Sample dish: Grilled mackerel with a side of mustard pretzel.) Hank and Peggy have retired and he happily rejoins his line of friends drinking cans of beer in an alley. Boomhauer gives him a hug and Dale has grown even more paranoid, becoming 'an election-denier-denier.' Bill has let himself go, staying indoors and living off Amazon deliveries. 'I finished Netflix, Hank. Did you know that when you get to the end of Netflix, you get something called 'a wellness check?'' Viewers in the second episode hear Tom Petty's 'Runnin' Down a Dream,' a nice nod to the late rocker's embrace of the show when it first appeared. 'The writers have found that balance between the vintage 'King of the Hill' that we adore and the new — and letting them coexist,' says Pamela Adlon, who voices Bobby. Same gentle tone Creators Mike Judge, the mastermind behind 'Beavis and Butt-Head,' and Greg Daniels, who would go on to co-create 'The Office,' helped Patterson navigate this world, which they sheparded during its first 13 seasons, airing from 1997 to 2009. The show's tone maintains its gentle mocking of modern life, from hipsters and their craft ales to bike lanes. Hill at one point shakes his head over modern outdoor grills having sensors and app connections: 'I shouldn't have to call technical support to make a burger.' Patterson says the humor is grounded in real life. 'I do have a barbecue grill that is Wi-Fi- and Bluetooth-enabled. I have three devices to run it, but I'm calling tech support because I have guests coming over and the meat needs to be done,' he says. 'And I do think over the pandemic, my wife finished Netflix.' While there are changes, some things are immutable. 'Hank's still going to drink beer. Dale's still going to be a conspiracy theorist. Bill's still going to be a lovable sad sack,' says Patterson. 'Those core character things had to be the same. I had a pastor who told me one time, 'Grown folks don't change.'' Viewers will see in upcoming episodes if Hank — a happy propane seller and garage tinkerer — can really ever retire and watch as Hank's friends navigate new chapters. They'll also explore the relationship between an adult Bobby and his parents. 'He's of age now and it's really kind of cool because you see the similarities and all the attributes that he took from his parents that he wasn't even aware of when he was a boy — or didn't want to have anything to do with — and now he's using them to keep his business going and move himself forward,' says Adlon. A politics-free zone While debates have raged over where Hank Hill sits on the political spectrum, his creators argue he represents a sensible, common-sense middle. He follows the rules and does the best he can without hurting anyone. 'It's so not a Republican or a Democratic show or an independent show. It's all of that,' says Adlon. 'There's space in the world for everybody. It's hard for us all to find a safe space in a common area anymore and that's what this show really is.' And even though the new 'King of the Hill' episodes arrive during President Donald Trump's second term, don't expect any politics from Hank Hill. 'We want to tell relatable stories where people can see themselves in our characters or their family members in our characters,' says Patterson. 'There are enough cultural things and relationship things that have shifted to where he can comment on that without us wading into tariffs and immigration policy and stuff like that.'

Emily in Paris Season 5: Release window, cast and plot details – Everything we known so far

By Aman Shukla Published on August 4, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated August 4, 2025, 17:32 IST Emily in Paris fans are buzzing with excitement for Season 5, and it's easy to see why. This Netflix rom-com, created by Darren Star, keeps delivering swoon-worthy romance, jaw-dropping fashion, and dreamy European settings. After Season 4's dramatic twists, everyone's eager to see what's next for Emily Cooper. Here's the full scoop on Emily in Paris Season 5. Release Window for Emily in Paris Season 5 No official release date has dropped yet for Emily in Paris Season 5, but signs point to a premiere in late 2025 or early 2026. Filming started in Rome in May 2025, with shoots in Paris over the summer and Venice in August 2025. Past seasons took roughly 8-12 months from filming to release—Season 4, for instance, wrapped early 2024 and launched in two parts on August 15 and September 12, 2024. Following this trend, Season 5 could land between April and June 2026, though a late 2025 debut isn't out of the question if editing moves fast. Netflix confirmed Season 5 on September 16, 2024, right after Season 4, Part 2 hit screens. With 58 million households streaming Season 1 in its first month, the show's a global hit, so expect updates on Tudum or official social channels as production wraps. Who's in the Emily in Paris Season 5 Cast? The beloved cast is back, with some fresh faces stirring things up. Here's who's confirmed and who's joining the Parisian (and Roman) party. Returning Favorites Lily Collins as Emily Cooper: The bubbly marketing whiz navigates love and work across two cities. Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu as Sylvie Grateau: The fierce agency boss faces new personal and professional drama. Ashley Park as Mindy Chen: Emily's bestie chases her music dreams after her Eurovision stint. Lucas Bravo as Gabriel: The charming chef stays central to Emily's heart, despite his arc feeling 'messy' to some. Samuel Arnold as Julien and Bruno Gouery as Luc: The quirky Agence Grateau duo keep the laughs coming. William Abadie as Antoine Lambert: Sylvie's lover and perfume tycoon returns. Lucien Laviscount as Alfie: Now a series regular, Alfie's role in Emily's love life grows. Eugenio Franceschini as Marcello: Emily's Italian heartthrob from Season 4 takes a bigger spotlight. Thalia Besson as Geneviève: The New Yorker causing waves at the agency is back. Paul Forman as Nico and Arnaud Binard as Laurent G.: Both add depth to the ensemble. Newcomers to Watch Minnie Driver : The Oscar-nominated star joins in a mystery role, bringing major star power. Michèle Laroque as Yvette: Sylvie's old friend adds new dynamics. Bryan Greenberg as Jake: An American in Paris, likely sparking fresh drama. A walk-on role winner from the 2024 amfAR gala auction at Cannes, who bid €250,000, will make a cameo. A Big Exit Camille Razat as Camille: In a shocker, Razat shared on Instagram that Camille's story has 'wrapped up naturally.' While she hinted at a possible return, her exit leaves fans wondering how the show will handle her absence. Talk of a Kim Cattrall cameo floated after Lucas Bravo said he's 'manifesting' it, but nothing's set in stone. The mix of returning stars and new talent promises plenty of sparks. What's the Plot for Emily in Paris Season 5? Season 5 picks up after Season 4's jaw-dropping finale, with Emily diving into a new chapter in Rome alongside Marcello. Here's what's brewing based on the latest details. Paris Meets Rome (and Venice) Emily's world now spans Paris and Rome, with a special shoot in Venice from August 5-15, 2025. Darren Star shared that Emily will keep a 'foot in both cities,' working for Agence Grateau's Rome office while staying tied to Paris. The Venetian backdrop adds a romantic twist, likely tied to Emily's evolving relationships. Fans are split—some love the Italian vibe, while others, like French President Emmanuel Macron, jokingly griped that 'Emily in Rome' feels off. Expect gorgeous shots of Roman landmarks, Parisian streets, and Venetian canals. Romance on High Heat Emily's love life stays messy and magnetic. After Gabriel chose Camille in Season 4, Emily connected with Marcello, who offers a 'real, uncomplicated spark,' per Darren Star. Season 5 will explore her pull between Marcello's grounded charm and Gabriel's lingering chemistry. Alfie, now a bigger presence, could throw a wrench into things after his Season 4 heartbreak. Lucas Bravo voiced frustration over Gabriel's repetitive arc, hinting the chef might get a fresh path, perhaps chasing a Michelin star or dealing with Geneviève's advances. Work, Friends, and Drama At Agence Grateau, Emily tackles the Rome office expansion, facing new challenges. Sylvie's past comes into focus with Yvette's arrival, adding layers to her story. Mindy's post-Eurovision journey brings financial hurdles and creative hustles. Julien and Luc keep the workplace lively, while Geneviève's rivalry with Emily could heat up, especially if she eyes Gabriel.
