    The Adventures of Sam Spade, Detective was a radio series based loosely on the private detective character Sam Spade, created by writer Dashiell Hammett for The Maltese Falcon. The show ran for 13 episodes on ABC in 1946, for 157 episodes on CBS in 1946–1949, and finally for 75 episodes on NBC in 1949–1951. The series starred Howard Duff (and later, Steve Dunne) as Sam Spade and Lurene Tuttle as his secretary Effie, and took a considerably more tongue-in-cheek approach to the character than the novel or movie. The announcer was Dick Joy.

    The series was largely overseen by producer/director William Spier. In 1947, Spier and scriptwriters Jason James and Bob Tallman received an Edgar Award for Best Radio Drama from the Mystery Writers of America.

    Before the series, Sam Spade had been played in radio adaptations of The Maltese Falcon by both Edward G. Robinson (in a 1943 Lux Radio Theater production) and by Humphrey Bogart (in a 1941 Academy Award Theater production), both on CBS.

    Dashiell Hammett's name was removed from the series in the late 1940s because he was being investigated for involvement with the Communist Party. Later, when Howard Duff's name appeared in the Red Channels book, he was not invited to play the role when the series made the switch to NBC in 1950.

    The Whale had its world premiere at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on September 4, 2022, and was released in the United States on December 9, 2022, by A24. The film received polarizing reviews, with acclaim for the performances of Fraser and Chau, but criticism for the screenplay's heavy-handedness and perpetuation of fatphobia.

    Synopsis.

    A24 writes, "The Whale  the story of a reclusive English teacher who attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter."

    Cast.

    Brendan Fraser as Charlie, an obese and reclusive literature professor,

    Samantha Morton as Mary, Charlie's ex-wife, and

    Sathya Sridharan as Dan, a pizza delivery worker.

    Production.

    Aronofsky said he had been trying to get the film made for a decade, blocked by the casting of Charlie (its lead character), until he saw a trailer for Journey to the End of the Night on YouTube which starred Fraser, when it "clicked" for him to cast Fraser.

    On January 11, 2021, it was announced that A24 had global distribution rights to The Whale, which would be directed by Aronofsky and star Fraser. In February 2021, Hong Chau, Sadie Sink and Samantha Morton joined the cast. The following month, Ty Simpkins joined the cast. Sathya Sridharan also joined the cast.

    Principal photography began on March 8 and wrapped on April 7, 2021, in Newburgh, New York. The film entered post-production the same month.

    For the titular role, Fraser would spend four hours each day in the makeup department getting fitted with prosthetics that weighed up to 300 pounds. He also worked with a dance instructor for months prior to filming to figure out how his character would move with the excess weight and consulted with the Obesity Action Coalition.

  • Christmas Bloody Christmas is a 2022 Christmas horror film that was directed and written by Joe Begos.

    Plot.

    The film starts with vignettes that resemble the typical Christmas advertisements, along with a news flash regarding a robotic Santa that's been recalled because of a certain malfunction that reverts it from its original programming.

    Tori (Dandy), along with her employee Robbie (Delich) closes their vinyl shop. They begin to talk about Tori's Tinder date; Robbie debates that the guy Tori will go out with is secretly a dad to four kids. Tori obliged to Robbie's request not to meet the date and instead opt to go and have drinks with him. Before heading to the bar, they visited their friends, couple Lahna and Jay, owners of the toy shop next door, where another robotic Santa is displayed.

    Tori and Robbie gave the couple an opened bottle of liquor and after some banter, they parted ways, with Lahna hinting that their going to have sex in the toy shop.

    At the bar, Sheriff Monroe arrived as the duo discussed band albums. Sheriff Monroe laments that he'll be celebrating Christmas alone since he can't bear the spoiled dog his wife left him with, and comments that he didn't know that Tori and Robbie are a thing now. Elsewhere, the toy shop is being observed voyeuristically by the robotic Santa from earlier. It sees Lahna and Jay having intercourse on the Santa display and uses a fire ax to dismember the couple. As Tori and Robbie argue inside Robbie's car, the robotic Santa is walking ominously towards the car.

    Tori and Robbie arrive at Tori's house, now discussing which is the best movie in each franchise, including Hellraiser, Aliens, Child's Play and A Nightmare On Elm Street. Tension rises while they are preparing food and they make out, immediately moving to Tori's bedroom. As Robbie performs cunnilingus, the scene is juxtaposed with the robotic Santa terrorizing Tori's neighbor, killing and curb stomping the father on the stairs and killing another one in the bathroom. After a while, Tori heads down to check the nachos they left in the oven, and she sees from her window the robotic Santa killing a kid. She freaks out and starts calling out Robbie; she also wakes up her sister and her boyfriend, Liddy and Mike. They quietly observe Santa circling their household, with only Mike failing to make sense of the situation. Then, Santa throws the body of the father, pinning Robbie temporarily. In the chaos, Santa kills Liddy with a neck snap while Tori and Robbie escape, leaving Mike pleading for his life.

    They ran back to Robbie's car while Tori broke down crying as she saw her sister die. Robbie pulls her up and they frantically look for the car keys inside the car. In their panic, they reversed and crashed to a nearby parked car, to which the owner saw. The owner of the car calls the police as he approaches and throws his beer bottle in front of Robbie's car, not noticing the robotic Santa behind him. Tori and Robbie warn him to look out for the robotic Santa; he fails and gets his head split into two and gets thrown on the car's windshield.

    In October 2021, Bruce Willis signed on to star in an action film under the working title Christmas Knight, from writer-director Edward John Drake, for a back-to-back production with Devil's Knight in Vancouver, Canada, from November 17 to December 14, 2021. Filming had wrapped by January 9, 2022, while Willis and Trevor Gretzky were confirmed to have reprised their roles for both films. By September 2022, Christmas Knight was retitled to Detective Knight: Redemption, and set a December 9, 2022 release date. By November 2022, Lochlyn Munro, Corey Large, Miranda Edwards, and Beau Mirchoff, were set to reprise their roles from the first film, while Willow Shields, Jack Kilmer, Alvaro Calderon, and Paul Johansson were added to the cast. Detective Knight: Redemption is one of the last films to star Willis, who retired from acting because he was diagnosed with aphasia.

  • Wednesday is an American coming-of-age supernatural comedy horror television series based upon the character Wednesday Addams from The Addams Family. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, it stars Jenna Ortega as the title character, with Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Isaac Ordonez, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Fred Armisen, and Christina Ricci appearing in supporting roles. Four out of the eight episodes are directed by Tim Burton, who also serves as executive producer. It revolves around the titular character, who attempts to solve a monster mystery at her school.

    Burton was previously associated with two Addams Family-related projects: the 1991 film, which he passed on, and a cancelled stop-motion animated film. In October 2020, he was reported to be helming a television series, which was later given a series order by Netflix. Filming took place in Romania between September 2021 and March 2022. Wednesday premiered on November 16, 2022, and was released on Netflix on November 23 to generally positive reviews by critics, who praised Ortega's performance, but criticized it for its similarities to CW dramas.
