Twisted Metal's Stephanie Beatriz's brutal feedback for co-star Anthony Mackie
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON When it comes to feedback, Anthony Mackie's Twisted Metal co-star doesn't mince words. The Marvel actor has revealed how he and Stephanie Beatriz hit the right tone on their dark, post-apocalyptic action comedy – explaining that he left it up to the Brooklyn Nine-Nine alum to curate the jokes. 'I would always go to her and say, 'Stephanie, is this funny?' And if she said, 'Yes', we'd keep it'. If she said 'No', we'd trash it,' Mackie, who is both lead actor and executive producer of the series, told ahead of season two's release. 'I think the biggest lesson I learned from Stephanie on set is just to be honest … it's not trying to be funny or trying to make something out of nothing. It's really just letting that character be real.' Mackie as John Doe in Twisted Metal. Picture: Stan Beatriz plays Quiet. Picture: Stan Season one of Twisted Metal, based on the hugely popular nineties PlayStation video game, premiered in July 2023 and follows the story of a talkative milkman with amnesia, John Doe (Mackie), who is tasked with journeying across a post-apocalyptic wasteland to deliver a mysterious package while facing ruthless marauders. X Learn More SUBSCRIBER ONLY Beatriz, who plenty of fans will know best as Detective Rosa Diaz from Brooklyn Nine-Nine, is Quiet, a bada**e car thief who strikes up a friendship with John. Season two will premiere later this week. Picture: Stan Season two shifts to focus on a sinister demolition derby – or 'tournament' – run by the mysterious Calypso (Anthony Carrigan), where the best way to win is to upgrade cars … with stealing an attractive option. Needless to say, given the setting and what fans have already seen in season one, the wild driving scenes in the new chapter are truly mind-blowing. It features plenty of insane car stunts. Picture: Stan 'Sometimes they let us drive, but for the really crazy stuff, there was a stunt driver driving … but he's usually mounted on the top of the vehicle, so all the mechanisms feed up to him,' Beatriz told 'And then we're inside with the cameras mounted on the car as well, going really, really fast, flying around the set, doing crazy spins and turns … and I loved every second.' Mackie added: 'Just being in a car and somebody just ripping the road to pieces, and all you can do is just hold on … It's a lot of fun.' Twisted Metal season two will be available to stream on Stan from July 31. Originally published as Twisted Metal's Stephanie Beatriz's brutal feedback for co-star Anthony Mackie

Andy Samberg on 'Digman!' role: 'Deep insecurity' like me
Move over, Indiana Jones – Andy Samberg is here. Andy Samberg's Comedy Central animated series 'Digman!' has returned for Season 2. Co-created by Samberg and showrunner Neil Campbell, the show is set in a world where archaeologists are celebrities, and follows Rip Digman (voiced by Samberg), a washed-up archeologist. Advertisement Samberg quipped that Digman's quality that he finds most relatable is, 'Probably his deep insecurity and propensity to spiral at the drop of a hat.' 'I think it speaks to our modern moment, frankly,' the former 'Saturday Night Live' star exclusively told The Post. 'His hair trigger, and his spirals. It doesn't take much to spin him out. And I feel like that is one of my favorite things comedically about him – but I'll admit it, it's relatable.' 8 Andy Samberg in his video interview with The New York Post.

Comedy Central Samberg, who shares two kids with his wife, singer Joanna Newsom, 43, explained that the show's premise started because he and Campbell were laughing about, 'how, growing up watching movies like 'Indiana Jones' and 'National Treasure' where there's a [message] from the filmmakers to the audience that 'this is a world where archeologists are the coolest people.'' He added, 'Which we all just accepted a face value. And, in re-examining that as adults, we found it very funny.' Advertisement 'Digman!' showrunner and co-creator Campbell, who worked on 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' with Samberg, told The Post, 'We both like goofy, absurd comedy, where we can just be like 'how do we take this joke as far as possible?'' 'But then I think the nice thing about working on 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' is we wrote half hour stories that have characters you care about, and moments of poignancy,' he explained. 'And so, I think we wanted to find a way to combine those things – but if you just heard the story, would it sound funny on its own, and not sound like a drama?' They focused on that tone for 'Digman!' but also wanted to fill up time with jokes that just made them laugh. 'We wanted it to be joyful,' he said. 8 'Digman!' poster art.

'It also tied into the fact that we had been talking about my voice being sort of like my Nic Cage impression, and he was in a franchise like that,' he said, referring to 'National Treasure.' 'And it sort of all just fell into place.' The rest of the Season 2 cast includes big name guest stars, such as Tim Robinson, Tim Meadows, Fred Armisen, Stephanie Beatriz, Mark Hamill, Nathan Lane, Seth Meyers, and Kate Winslet. 'You ask people because you think they're good and they're right for the part. But if you have a relationship, it makes it easier to ask,' Samberg said about reuniting with old colleagues like Beatriz, Armisen, and Meyers. 'It's wonderful to have worked in the business long enough to know so many people that you respect and admire, and would want to include,' he told The Post. 8 Andy Samberg and his wife Joanna Newsom at 'SNL50: The Anniversary Special' on February 16, 2025.

Advertisement 'There's not a lot of stress for me around making 'Digman!' For Neil, maybe. He's really running point on every single department and pulling it all together and making it happen,' he said. '[But], I don't generally get stressed out unless it's like time pressure, like, something has to be done – and done to the quality that we want – by a certain time.'

Andy Samberg remembers Andre Braugher and their Brooklyn Nine-Nine bond after actor's passing
Andy Samberg paid tribute to his late Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-star Andre Braugher during a recent appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, reflecting on their off-screen bond and creative chemistry. Braugher, who died in 2023 at the age of 61 following a battle with lung cancer, left a lasting impression on both his colleagues and fans. During the conversation, Poehler asked Samberg about his behind-the-scenes relationship with Braugher, whom she described as poised, talented, and seemingly fun. Samberg agreed, describing Braugher as 'deeply moral, kind, and incredibly intelligent,' adding, 'We all absolutely loved him. I miss him a lot.' Samberg and Braugher starred alongside each other across all eight seasons of Brooklyn Nine-Nine from 2013 to 2021, portraying the evolving relationship between the playful Det. Jake Peralta and the stoic Capt. Raymond Holt. Samberg said their on-screen chemistry was immediate. 'It was one of those things where you're just like, 'Okay, this is kismet,'' he said. He recalled meeting Braugher at the first table read, where their dynamic clicked naturally from the very first scene. Though Braugher came from a serious dramatic background and was initially unsure about his comedic abilities, Samberg said he quickly became a standout. 'He would do his Captain Holt stuff and it was the funniest thing on the show,' Samberg noted, praising Braugher's ability to balance emotional depth and humor. Following Braugher's death, Brooklyn Nine-Nine cast members shared heartfelt tributes. Terry Crews thanked him for his wisdom and friendship, while Melissa Fumero remembered his deep love for family. The show's official Instagram honored him with the message: 'Always our Captain. We love you, Andre.' His legacy continues to resonate with fans and former castmates alike.
