The Legacy of "The Next Woody Allen" Actors

For decades, different actors and auteurs have been dubbed (or have sought to be dubbed) the next Woody Allen.

'Love' Review

No, not the Gaspar Noe film. This is the new Netflix series co-created by Judd Apatow that stars Gillian Jacobs and co-creator Paul Rust as L.A. thirtysomethings looking for, you guessed it, love.
