Collider Ladies Night & Collider Forces

A mere week into the New Year and we already have a new release that’ll likely wind up being one of the best horror movies of 2026. Johnny Sequoyah  leads  Johannes Roberts ’  Primate  as Lucy. While visiting her father ( Troy Kotsur ) and sister ( Gia Hunter ) back home in Hawaii, another family member of Lucy's takes a turn — their chimp, Ben. Ben is bitten by a rabid mongoos...

I’ve welcomed many actors I admire to  Collider Ladies Night , but  Thora Birch  feels different. I grew up watching her.  All I Want for Christmas ,  Hocus Pocus ,  Monkey Trouble ,  Now and Then  — they all played on repeat in my home. From there, I followed her to the roles that earned her significant industry acclaim, a BAFTA nomination for  America...

Since January 2024, few days have gone by without carving out some time to indulge in  Sam Haft ’s work. Every aspect of  Hazbin Hotel  on Prime Video is wow-worthy, but Haft and  Andrew Underberg  have a magnificent knack for crafting one earworm after the next. Oftentimes, one of their songs is the last thing I hear in my head before drifting off to sleep, and it’s the v...

In this in-depth Collider Ladies Night interview, Critical Role’s Laura Bailey discusses adapting the second campaign into The Mighty Nein animated series for Prime Video. She also reflects on the early days of her voice acting career, Critical Role’s incredible growth over the years, and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I’ve been covering  Amanda Seyfried ’s work consistently since starting my career — particularly starting the best part of my career, focusing on interviews. In fact, one of my very first press days was for  Atom Egoyan ’s  Chloe , which Seyfried headlines alongside  Julianne Moore . With every press day that followed, I was constantly struck by Seyfried’s general warmth and he...

Ever since we started hosting live  Collider Ladies Night  panels  at San Diego Comic-Con , we’ve been tempted to explore doing group editions of the show, and what better ensemble to start that with than the women of the new  Knives Out   movie? Mila Kunis ,  Cailee Spaeny  and  Kerry Washington  are some of the latest to join  Rian Johnson ’s gro...

Since wrapping her 137-episode run on  Riverdale  about two years ago,  Lili Reinhart ’s been determined to craft a filmography with intention. As she noted during our  Collider Ladies Night  conversation, she’s always been picky about the work she takes on, but in this next stage of her career, her time on  Riverdale  is giving her the opportunity to say no and...

After scoring a BAFTA nomination and winning Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival for  The Worst Person in the World ,  Renate Reinsve  is rightfully zeroing in on her first Academy Award nomination for  Joachim Trier ’s  Sentimental Value . Reinsve leads the film, which is one of the year’s best, as stage actress Nora, the estranged daughter of acclaimed filmmaker Gus...

During Vivienne Medrano 's second visit to the Collider Ladies Night studio, she goes all in on Hazbin Hote l Season 2, and also teases what to expect from Hazbin Hotel Season 3. Is this the end of the line for Vox, or will his journey of self-discovery continue next season? What was the inspiration behind that massive Angel Dust reveal? Has the time finally come - will we get Lilith in Season 3?...

Most actors are lucky to be part of a single major film franchise over the course of their career. However, in just five years, Katy O’Brian scored roles in three of the biggest franchises of all time — Star Wars , the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Mission: Impossible . Yet another jaw-dropping and very well earned acting feat? Just a few months after Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning hit...

When Asa Germann started working on Gen V , it was only his fourth day on a film set — ever. He had worked on Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story with Evan Peters for three days, but that was it. Germann had theater experience and always felt “very committed to training as an actor,” but he still had to wait for his big break on the screen to come through. It may have taken time — six years, in fact...

In celebration of the release of Hedda on Prime Video, Tessa Thompson joined Perri Nemiroff for a Collider Ladies Night conversation! During their chat, Thompson revisits working on Veronica Mars with Kristen Bell and discusses how Justin Simien 's Dear White People was a personal acting game-changer. She also digs into the reality of joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and celebrates her longs...

Lizze Broadway  was an  instant high-priority guest  for  Collider Ladies Night   when  Gen V  wrapped its Season 1 run back in November 2023. Two years later, nothing has changed. Yet again, in Season 2, Broadway is a standout in an ensemble that’s filled with top-tier actors. Not only is Broadway a consistent scene-stealer courtesy of pitch-perfect line deliver...

D’Arcy Carden is the best kind of busy right now. She just wrapped her run on the Emmy award winning series The Handmaid’s Tale where she managed to swoop in during the show’s sixth and final season and quickly establish herself as a fan favorite character. Right now she’s in production on a highly anticipated and star studded Peacock series based on Elin Hilderbrand ’s novel, Five Star Weekend ....

I’ve been saying this for quite some time now;  Rosa Salazar  is an epic force in this industry. Not only is she brimming with undeniable screen presence, but she’s also amassed a filmography packed with uniquely ambitious projects. After getting her start with  American Horror Story  and  Parenthood , Salazar jumped into two of the most popular young adult film franchises...

Miranda Cosgrove  began her journey in film and television as a Nickelodeon mainstay, and now she's busy carving out a similar space for herself over at Netflix as she celebrates the release of her second romantic comedy for the streamer. Just last year she starred in  Mother of the Bride  opposite  Brooke Shields ,  Benjamin Bratt , and  Chad Michael Murray , and now...

Career ups and downs are inevitable. Arden Cho just took 20 years’ worth of acting highs and lows, funneled them all into a powerhouse voice performance, and churned out one of the very best cinematic characters of 2025, a Netflix character who well-aligns with her own personal creative goals as an actor and is also proving to be a character who can inspire anyone . Cho leads the voice cast of one...

I had my first chat with Jane Levy in March 2013. Twelve years and a slew of interviews later, she finally joins me in-studio for a Collider Ladies Night conversation in celebration of one of my favorite performances she’s ever delivered, playing Tammy opposite David Strathairn in Angus MacLachlan ’s A Little Prayer . As many well know, I went quite hard covering 2013’s Evil Dead and Zoey’s Extrao...

Margaret Qualley is a true one-of-a-kind force in film and television. Her work is always appointment viewing because her filmography is brimming with variety and unique characters that challenge her to swing big in new ways. From The Leftovers and The Nice Guys to The Substance and Honey Don’t , those roles don’t work unless they’re filled with an actor willing to pour every ounce of themself int...

Back in April 2024 , I was lucky enough to visit the set of Noah Hawley ’s Alien: Earth in Thailand where I played detective with stars Samuel Blenkin and Alex Lawther . At the start of our three-day visit, we knew little about where Hawley and co. were taking the iconic franchise, so my one-on-one chats with Blenkin and Lawther were all about trying to figure out who their characters are, how the...

Few actors kick off their careers with productions as big as the opportunities Hermione Corfield secured early on. One of her first feature film credits is Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation in which she shares a key scene with Tom Cruise , and soon after came xXx: Return of Xander Cage , and Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi . After that, it was the indie crime thriller Rust Creek which ear...

If you’re a fan of genre, there was no better place to be at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 than in Ballroom 20 on Thursday night for the Collider Ladies Night After Dark panel. Ladies Night joined forces with the IFC Entertainment Group to celebrate two titles gearing up for their Shudder debut, and to unveil first looks at three upcoming theatrical releases. Even better? It all happened with five big-...

This year we had the pleasure of hosting two Collider Ladies Night panels at San Diego Comic-Con . The first leaned heavily into the horror genre by putting the spotlight on Dafne Keen , Sophie Nélisse , Alexandra Shipp , Katie Douglas , Hassie Harrison and their upcoming IFC and Shudder titles. Then, the next night, I had the great honor of taking the stage with Danielle Brooks , Jennifer Holland...

Chase Sui Wonders has already proven herself a scene-stealing force via titles like Generation and Bodies Bodies Bodies , but 2025 is solidifying her as an undeniable star. In March, she debuted The Studio , an Apple TV+ series in which she stars opposite powerhouses Seth Rogen , Catherine O’Hara , Ike Barinholtz and Kathryn Hahn . Mere days after that show scored a whopping 23 Emmy nominations ,...

If you frequent Collider Ladies Night , you’re well aware that I’m a big proponent of filmmaking families — frequent collaborators who stick together and also add new additions to the family every step of the way. Mike Flanagan ’s “ Flanafamily ” is a big one, and it’s a topic that keeps popping up with Molly Gordon, who’s recently found great success collaborating with close friends on films like...
