This long-running Canadian sitcom gained a new audience when Hulu aired it in the United States in 2018 and has since become one of Hulu's signature shows, most recently It was joined by the spin-off series Shaughnessy, a rare streaming show that lasted 12 seasons, and Letterkenny is coming to a close with a dedicated fan base

The show, about a group of friends living in rural Ontario, Canada, has been broadcast across the border with an entertaining and perhaps distorted portrayal of Canadian culture The twelfth season will premiere all episodes at once, and while there will likely be a special final farewell, the season announcement promises business as usual, with the characters battling smaller-scale storylines such as comedy nights, country music hits, and a new nightclub - JB

"The Holdovers" was one of my favorite films of the year, and I'm very excited to see it hit Peacock Paul Giamatti plays Paul Hanham, a boarding school teacher who can't get out of watching over the kids left behind at school over Christmas break, and this Alexander Payne film works not only as a hilarious yet emotional character study, but also as a beautifully directed period piece

The film is a beautifully directed period piece

The film was nominated for three Golden Globes, including acting nominations for Giamatti and Davine Joy Randolph, but frankly, the most impressive performance came from one of the "Holdovers" of the title, Angus Tully as Dominic Sessa His performance was incredible, especially considering that this was his debut as a film actor - MM
