Lux Pascal is many things: a Juilliard-trained actress, the sister of Pedro Pascal (aka Hollywood’s busiest actor), a proud member of the LGBTQ community — and a trans woman now stepping into her first leading film role. That film, Miss Carbón, will debut domestically on Netflix later this year after hitting theaters in Spain this month. Set in 2008 and based on a true story, Pascal stars as Carlita Rodríguez, a trans woman who became the first female coal miner in her hometown of Río Turbio, Argentina. Pascal, 33, was offered the role just as she was finishing Juilliard, but…

As these stars look for love, finding their happy ending doesn’t always go as planned. Christine Obanor and Nigel Jones may have come out on top in season two, but their romance didn’t last. Christine told Netflix’s Tudum last June that their relationship, which ended after eight months, didn’t work since neither had “fully healed from past traumas” and began to “deflect their insecurities onto one another.” Meanwhile, Nigel believes he leaned into the experience fully and has no regrets. “I went in with an open mind and heart and gave it my all and ultimately ended up winning,” he…

The campy sense of mischief that made Gerard Johnstone’s 2023 hit M3GAN so enjoyable asserts itself intermittently in M3GAN 2.0, a logical title for a follow-up to the thriller about a murderous robot.

There are amusing moments reminiscent of the original, but in terms of tone and coherence, the movie loses its way. The sequel works best when…
