Ghost Adventures: House Calls
Discovery+ New Series
In this Ghost Adventures spinoff, the team from that series — Zak Bagans, Aaron Goodwin, Billy Tolley and Jay Wasley — help frightened families who believe they are under paranormal attack. The first two episodes, which find the investigators helping people in Long Beach, California, and Ellington, Connecticut, are available today. Subsequent new episodes will be available Thursdays.
The Photographer: Murder in Pinamar Netflix
In the summer of 1997, the murder of photojournalist Jose Luis Cabezas shocked Argentina. It ultimately revealed an organized crime network that appeared to involve the country’s political and
financial elite. As this documentary shows, the consequences would be almost as dramatic as the crime itself, not only for the perpetrator but for the whole country.
Angelyne New Series
Peacock
Former Shameless star Emmy Rossum’s latest project finds her stepping, almost
unrecognizably, into the glowing pink attire of blonde bombshell Angelyne (born Ronia Tamar Goldberg), a model/singer who became a Los Angeles icon starting in the 1980s through a series of self-promotional billboards that revolutionized the concept of someone being famous just for being famous. Rossum, who is also an executive producer of this quirky limited series, says that she has “spent the better part of four years thinking, living and breathing this project. I love Angelyne. It’s as if Marilyn Monroe got into an Easy-Bake Oven with an ’80s punk Barbie doll and a dose of New Age spirituality. She’s a trailblazer, a hustler, a visionary, the original influencer, a living, breathing piece of art.” Showrunner and executive producer Allison Miller explains that the series is more of an homage to
Angelyne and her ethos. “This isn’t the true story of Angelyne. It’s not a straightforward biopic. It’s a story inspired by everything Angelyne represents, and so it’s a magical story, a hopeful story, a story about becoming the person you were meant to be and believing in your own inner strength
to manifest your dreams. It’s (also) a story about Los Angeles and everything the city means to people who move here and to people who dream about moving here.” Angelyne co-stars Martin Freeman, Alex Karpovsky, Hamish Linklater, Charlie Rowe and Lukas Gage. All episodes are available today. — Jeff Pfeiffer
