Inside the ‘sonic cannibalism’ of ‘Yellowjackets’

The Yellowjackets score comes for you less than 90 seconds into the series.  After an unidentified girl falls to her death, the camera pans up her bloody body with a chilling musical cue. Part singing, part animalistic howl, this gliding note is as unsettling as the sight accompanying it. The closed captions call it "eerie music." It is our literal crash course on the terror of Yellowjackets — a warning like the animal calls echoing through the trees. Theodore Shapiro composed the background music for the Yellowjackets pilot. But it would be two years before the show received a series order and filmed further episodes, and he wasn't able to continue. The job then went to Craig Wedren and Anna Waronker, who composed the music for Shrill and Republic of Sarah . Singer-songwriters in a noise band together, they had been itching to do something dark and weird. SEE ALSO: 10 'Yellowjackets' theories keeping us up at night "Teddy's score was beautifu

How 'The Legend of Vox Machina' brings a 'Dungeons and Dragons' campaign to life

There's never been a show like The Legend of Vox Machina . The adult fantasy cartoon adapts web series Critical Role's first Dungeons and Dragons campaign, which follows a band of dysfunctional mercenaries known as Vox Machina. (The name is Latin for "voice machine," a reference to the Critical Role cast's jobs as voice actors.)  Other films and TV shows have been inspired by tabletop roleplaying games in the past: Harmonquest combined live Pathfinder gameplay with animated renditions of in-game scenes, and 2015's The Last Witch Hunter was based on Vin Diesel's Dungeons and Dragons character (a character he has played alongside Critical Role cast members ). However, The Legend of Vox Machina is the first show to use an entire campaign as source material. Despite heading into uncharted adaptation territory, the team behind The Legend of Vox Machina discovered that drawing from Dungeons and Dragons — and this campaign in particular — had unique

BBC and Amazon mystery 'Chloe' is a tense identity charade

Scarily enough, it seems pretty easy to play pretend and gain access to someone's life, if you’re willing to actively listen, boast a good memory, and inhale everything they've ever posted on social media. In Chloe , Becky Green is an expert at this. But there are details that slip through the cracks between posts, mysteries buried behind the party snaps. Created, written, and directed by Sex Education writer/director Alice Seabright, the six-episode co-production between BBC One, Mam Tor Productions, and Amazon Studios follows a master of disguise on the hunt for answers after a seemingly random woman she obsesses over on social media suddenly dies. Becky's first port of call? Chloe's inner circle. Erin Doherty, who played Princess Anne in The Crown , leaves Buckingham Palace behind for the role of Becky Green, a woman living in Bristol who we meet obsessively flicking through the picture-perfect social media account of one Chloe Fairbourne (Poppy Gilbert).

Bob Saget’s Daughter Lara Says Her Dad "Loved With Everything He Had" in Heartfelt Tribute

Bob Saget 's daughter Lara wrote an emotional tribute about how loving her late father was. The 32-year-old art curator shared a childhood photo of her and Saget, presumably on a production set, as they touched foreheads. "To anyone afraid to love, Unconditional love is the greatest of gifts," Lara began her post. "My dad loved with everything he had. He had so many reasons to be scared to love. So many loved ones kept dropping the body. Instead of being scared, he loved more." Lara concluded, "I am beyond grateful to receive and to give that love. Love completely and be kind. Of all the lessons he taught me, these feel the biggest." Saget died on Jan. 9 at age 65. The "Full House" star is survived by his wife, Kelly Rizzo, and daughters Lara, Aubrey, and Jennifer. His family issued a joint statement, obtained by Us Weekly on Jan. 10. "We are devastated to confirm that our beloved Bob passed away today," the statement read. &qu

Exclusive: Zeke Seeks Answers From Mecca in "Power Book II: Ghost" Sneak Peek

The Tejada clan is in disarray after all the family's secrets have been spilled in "Power Book II: Ghost." From Diana (LaToya Tonodeo) sneaking around with Tariq ( Michael Rainey Jr. ), to Cane (Woody McClain) snaking the family, to Monet ( Mary J. Blige ) lying about Zeke's (Daniel Bellomy) biological parents, everyone is at odds with one another. In an exclusive sneak peek of episode nine, "A Fair Fight?," a formal meeting between Zeke and his birth father, Mecca ( Daniel Sunjata ) - aka Dante - is revealed following their brief encounter at the basketball court in episode seven. Feeling lost after figuring out who Monet really is to him, Zeke looks to Mecca for answers to all the chaos surrounding him. "She lied to me my whole life, to my face, that's f*cked up, man," he says in the clip. Thanks to Diana's detective skills, Zeke knows that he's really 23 years old, instead of 19 - which violates the NCAA's rules, meaning his
