What Happens Later

John Stark

Meg Ryan is back. She’s writing, directing, and starring now. Blazing her own path. Perhaps, maybe, she shouldn’t. I love Meg Ryan, and I’ve long thought her exile from Hollywood was unfair. The idea that she reached a certain age, or didn’t look the way she once did while trying to live up to unreasonable standards of beauty, took nothing away from her acting. she never lost her charm.

Directed By: Judd Apatow Where I Watched It: Netflix English Audio Description Available?: Yes The Plot: Set during the pandemic, a film crew and the actors involved try and complete the filming on the 6th film in a ridiculous franchise, and satire ensues. What Works: There were a lot of people who didn’t like Don’t Look up, and that got a nomination for Best Picture. The thing about satire is that it is really hard, and almost never done correctly. That’s … Continue reading The Bubble
