Today we get a new look at the second season of hit Netflix series RUNNING POINT starring two-time Oscar nominee Kate Hudson.

ABOUT RUNNING POINT S2

Synopsis: Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson) is no longer the surprise choice to lead the Los Angeles Waves, she’s the one everyone is watching. With the franchise finally rebounding after last year’s scandal, Isla is determined to prove she’s not just keeping the seat warm for her brother Cam (Justin Theroux). What she doesn’t know is that Cam is quietly maneuvering behind the scenes to reclaim his post, turning every misstep into ammunition. As she tries to balance the pressure of running a franchise with devoting time to her personal life, every decision on and off the court counts. To survive the family power plays and the scrutiny of the board, she’ll have to rip up last season’s game plan and come up with a whole new playbook if she wants to close out the season on top. From executive producers Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen, season two of Running Point raises the stakes, deepens the family drama, and finds even more comedy in what it takes to run a modern sports empire.

We still cannot believe the response from audiences – thank you to everyone who has watched!

Max Minghella‘s SHELL really should have been a part of TIFF‘s Midnight Madness programme, vying to be a campy cult classic.

We meet Sam (Elisabeth Moss), an aging Actress struggling to land roles..In fact, she loses out to someone she once babysat.  She takes the suggestion to go to a wellness institution, Shell, which calls Zoe (Kate Hudson) its CEO. Sam begins to find confidence undergoing treatments.  But things get suspicious once clients begin disappearing inexplicably, unlocking some dark secrets about Shell.

We love that Minghella is drawing inspiration from camp, erotica and all that juicy stuff. Elizabeth Berkley gets her flowers here and Sam and Zoe‘s relationship at times feels very Crystal vs. Nomi in Showgirls.  

SHELL starts off rather solid, but fulfills its campy destiny in the final.act, going way over the top. Moss is superb, nailing the drama, comedy and horror of this.

SHELL screens as follows at TIFF ’24:

Thursday, September 12
VISA Screening Room at the Princess of Wales Theatre
9:30 pm

Friday, September 13
Scotiabank Theatre
5:30 pm
