🎥 The last showgirl holds the stage
-
When: The last showgirl is in cinemas from January 10.
-
Why I recommend it: The film is packed with stars who are all Hollywood veterans, such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Billie Lourd and Kiernan Shipka. Brenda Song told me that Anderson constantly inspired her on set by being so “unapologetically Pam.”

Why I recommend it: You may know Cain from her now-viral songs that blew up on TikTok and hit the charts It ends with us movie soundtrack, but this album is somehow more somber with an industrial atmosphere that features a lot of ambient noise. [Deadline]
