-It’s weird that Shiri Appleby is following up her UnREAL breakout with a show that looks DOA. I guess she should grab that CBS money while she can.

-I didn’t realize Donald Glover was in The Martian until I saw this new clip. That must be why he’s at TIFF. I’ll be seeing him tomorrow night at Jason Reitman’s live read of The Princess Bride (now with Rachel McAdams as Buttercup!). I’ll try to sneak a Periscope or two if you’re interested.
