More after the jump including Meat Loaf's passing, Nightmare Alley's streaming release, Anna Kendrick's boyfriend, and Lin-Manuel Miranda's EGOT dreams...
• /Film Every Paul Verhoeven movie ranked including his latest, Benedetta. I'd quibble with the order but this is a fine reminder of how many memorable movies he's made.
• Theater Mania Ariana DeBose on The Daily Show (she sure is working for that Oscar nom/win)
• The Wrap Nightmare Alley gets a streaming date (real soon) of February 1st
• Deadline Nielsen estimates on what people were watching, streaming, in 2021 with the long-running Lucifer as the top streamed series (out-performing Squid Game) and Pixar's Luca the most streamed movie.

I've been wondering how many people watched Squid Game via subtitles or dubbing. I was semi-surprised to see only 15% of viewers watched it with subtitles, while the other 85% watched the dubbed version.
Foreign films that are dubbed (I remember Life Is Beautiful) usually flop as compared to subtitled versions.
Personally I find dubbed versions of TV shows to be almost unbearable.
I never watched dubbed TV or films (unless it's Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan if subtitles aren't available). Still, dubbing is just awful.
R.I.P. to both Meat Loaf and Louie Anderson, 2 larger-than-life talents who had a lot of love to offer. We will miss them.
Fuck AV Club. Moving their whole operation to California from Chicago is just wrong and I'm with those who refused to move to L.A.
Lucky Anna Kendrick.
