“It shows you are about to go into a very interesting world,” states Holly Amber Church about the theme she wrote for “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.” For our recent webhcat she continues, “It’s mysterious, it’s thrilling, it’s scary and it’s beautiful all at the same time.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
The Netflix anthology series comprises eight episodes, each telling a different horror story. The collection of stories were curated by del Toro, with two being works he had written. The Oscar-winning director of “The Shape of Water” (2017) also handpicked the eight directors for the series. All the stories are dark and touch on various moral themes. Church explains, “Guillermo brought all these amazing directors and writers and actors. Every episode is so different, but they are all so fantastic.

Despite all the musical superstars who entered this year’s Emmy competition, only one – Ed Sheeran – managed to score when the 75th annual Emmy Award nominations were announced Wednesday.
Sheeran was nominated (along with co-writers Max Martin and Foy Vance) for the song “A Beautiful Game” for the season 3 finale of “Ted Lasso,” one of two songs from the popular Apple TV+ series that made it into the music-and-lyrics category.
Emmy’s 550-member music peer group ignored the original songs entered by Dolly Parton, David Byrne, Steve Martin, Kid Cudi, Donald Glover and Lainey Wilson, as well as those from such Oscar-winning tunesmiths as Alan Menken, Steven Schwartz, Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez.
Among the seven music categories, a surprising number of first-time nominees was recognized, and more than one-fourth of all the nominees in the five composition and songwriting categories are women, another positive sign of change in the Hollywood musical landscape.

For a while, it seemed like title sequences were a dying art form. Throughout the 2010s, shows seemed to fall largely into two opening credits categories: slow, moving close-ups of pieces of a thing that led to a final zoom out, or a quick, unadorned shot of a title card that makes viewers feel nothing at all. TV seemed to relish telling us as little as possible about the series at hand before it's actually begun, forgoing a decades-old tradition in mood setting to instead cut straight to the action.
Luckily, though, the title sequence seems to be making a comeback. In 2022, title sequences got creative in ways that blended the familiar with the trendy (brief opening titles that change with every episode). The result is a great year for TV fans — and anyone who loves to get a good jingle stuck in their head.
