"Loki" was a huge success for Marvel and Disney+ when it was released in 2021. Not many expected to get a second season since it was initially billed as a limited series. However, Season 2 was eventually announced, and with it came a whole new chapter in the character's journey. However, one of the newest characters introduced nearly stole the spotlight from everyone's favorite Asgardian god, and that was his variant, Sylvie, played by Sophia Di Martino. The English actress was kind enough to spend a few minutes with us discussing her role in season 2 and what she hopes for from the character in the future. Please be sure to check out the show, which is now available to stream on Disney+ and is up for your consideration in all eligible Emmy categories. Thank you, and enjoy!

"Evil Does Not Exist" had its world premiere at the 2023 Venice International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its direction and writing from Ryūsuke Hamaguchi, and score by Japanese singer-songwriter and musician Eiko Ishibashi. Following their collaboration on the Oscar-winning film, "Drive My Car," the two intended to make a 30-minute short film accompanied by a live score. But as the production got lengthier and the shoot went along, Hamaguchi decided to turn it into a feature film with dialogue, which is the film we have today. Ishibashi was kind enough to sit and talk with us about her latest work which can be listened to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in limited release in the U.S. from Sideshow/Janus Films. Thank you, and enjoy!
