Gilmore Girls remains one of the most-watched legacy shows in Netflix’s catalog. The series and its revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, amass new fans daily. Those fans are clamoring for a second reboot. While many television sets worldwide still play Gilmore Girls, you won’t find the series being binged in Melissa McCarthy’s house, despite her connection to the show. In a recent interview, McCarthy revealed that she doesn’t watch Gilmore Girls in her own house because she’s afraid paramedics will find her watching her own content and think it’s weird.

If you found yourself wondering why Melissa McCarthy's youngest self in Thunder Force looks so much like her, you're not alone. Turns out, the young Lydia Berman is played by her daughter Vivian Falcone. The Netflix film, which premiered on April 9, sees two estranged best friends become an unlikely superhero team and try to save Chicago from superpowered evildoers, known as Miscreants, and a villain called The King. The shared role of Lydia isn't the only family connection, as Vivian's younger sister, Georgette, plays the "That lady threw a bus" girl and Thunder Force was written and directed by McCarthy's husband and the girls' dad, Ben Falcone.
This isn't the first time Vivian's worked with her parents; she played a younger version of McCarthy in 2016's The Boss, which was also written and directed by Ben. While McCarthy and Ben have a frequent habit of...

“Thunder Force” is nearly half over before the action-comedy lands on a real joke: the introduction of co-star Jason Bateman as a half-superhero mutant with crab arms instead of human appendages. Jokes aside, Bateman’s “The Crab” also makes for a good foil to the eponymous Thunder Force, a pair of unexpected crime fighters who have emerged to battle the supervillain crime wave that has consumed the world since their childhood. They need all the help (or hurt) they can get.
Melissa McCarthy as lovable loser Lydia (Aka The Hammer) and Octavia Spencer as her super-smart former Bff Emily (Aka Bingo) are only on their first mission when they meet The Crab, and their do-gooding is soon upended by the career criminals they’re intent on stopping. And then, suddenly, weirdly, Lydia and The Crab connect, kicking off a dream sequence in which these two outsiders dance and twirl and...
