written by Briana Atkins

Academy Award nominee Sophie Okonedo is back on the small screen once again. While some may hold in recent memory her character in Ratched, she’s taken on something completely new in this series, Flack, which will be streaming soon on Amazon Prime Video.

Okonedo plays Caroline, the brash, forceful, leader of a London PR firm, Mills Paulson, that handles their celebrity clients’ public scandals. The show itself focuses on Robyn (Anna Paquin), a take-no-prisoner public-relations professional, who is an American working for the London based firm. Robyn is unflappable in her PR job and her ability to get her high-profile very wayward ill-behaved celebrity clients out of potentially embarrassing situations is unparalleled. However, her ability to get her clients out of these messes does not translate into her own life as Robyn tries to get her own life back on track while juggling her job. Along for the ride are a young, but eager Scottish intern, Melody, Robyn’s cynical, yet sexy coworker, and best friend, and of course, their fearless leader, Caroline. Sophie Okonedo sat down with The Knockturnal to talk about Flack, her enjoyment of playing strong female characters, and what it was like to work with Anna Paquin.

Flack streams on Amazon Prime Video starting Jan. 22.

Exclusive: Aedin Mincks Talks ‘Cobra Kai’ Season 3 [Video]

Netflix’s Cobra Kai is back for a third season. With a new season comes new challenges and growth for characters like Mitch played by Aedin Mincks. We caught up with Mincks to chat about his character’s growth over this current season, what’s it like to train in the Cobra Kai universe and where would he like to see his care to go for season four which has already been greenlit by Netflix.

As far as Mincks’s character’s journey, he simply says, “we were like nerdy fans at first and then I just progressed into kind of a dick and then I redeemed myself.” Now, his character is clearly on the path to redeeming himself and standing up to bullies. His character takes on being bullied and dealing with bullies head-on and channeling his pain into bringing change.  He knowledges that his characters path along with the series has spurred on a revival of kids getting back into karate. “It’s kind of cool seeing a surge of popularity from it and encouraging kids to go out work out and have fun,” he says.

It is not all fun and games. Mincks noted that karate and this role is not physically easy. He joked that the role like most in the series is “authentically physical.” As for injuries and physicality of his role, Mincks says, “the most painful thing that would actually happen a lot was shin on shin [action]… it’s just like the bone of the leg [is] clashing.”  Mincks describes despite wearing protection, you can still feel it. “It’s a tiny bruise but it hurts really bad there for a long time and it’s there for a long time,” he says.
Mincks is fine with war wounds brought on by the hard work on set, but he does hope that his character will have more moments with Chris in season four. “I want to kick more ass with Chris,” he explains.  He admits that he misses filming with his friend. Furthermore, Mincks does have another desire, of course, “I want a rematch with Joe for getting me kicked out of Cobra Kai,” he half-heartedly joked, but in seriousness wants.

Season three of Cobra Kai is currently on Netflix. It is rumored that season four is in production.

Exclusive: Vanessa Rubio Talks About The Future of Carmen in ‘Cobra Kai'[Video]

written by Emerson Unger

The YouTube turned Netflix series Cobra Kai is back for its third season. We caught up with one of the show’s stars, Vanessa Rubio, who plays Carmen, to chat about her character’s evolution in the current season, her future for upcoming seasons, and of course, what is it like to share the screen with Johnny.  Plus, we asked her if she felt like she was missing out on all the karate action and training.

“First off, I love Carmen. She’s such a beautiful character to play and dig into.  She just keeps evolving in this really beautiful way,” Rubio remarked about her character Carmen. Spoiler alert! In this season, Carmen’s character faces many challenges as her son Miguel tries to regain his strength and walk again all while developing a somewhat secretive, romantic relationship with Johnny.  Addressing the elephant in the room, Rubio was quick to remark, “I would love to see her flesh out the complicated feelings that she has for Johnny.” As for more wishes for her character in the future, Rubio says, “I would love to see her [Carmen] dance more. I would love to see her get her sense of power back…have fun you know. Miguel is out of the wheelchair.”

Speaking of power back, we had to press Rubio about her experience in the Karate Kid and Cobra Kai world. We had to ask her, given the fact that her character doesn’t necessarily practice the art of karate, does she feel like she’s missing out on some seriously awesome karate skills and training? Also, would she ever want to see Carman take down some bad guys and make some moves? Rubio simply said, “for sure, I would love to get training!” She noted that as an actor she would really love to get the opportunity to train and practice some real kick-ass choreography. As far as her character, she couldn’t help but acknowledge the fact that if Carmen ever received the training and was given the opportunity, she “would be a badass!”

Cobra Kai’s season three is currently on Netflix. The series is rumored to be in production on its fourth season.

Exclusive: Meg Fraser and Ben O’toole Talk Starring In New Thriller ‘Bloody Hell’ [Video]

by Sydney Hargrove
written by Sydney Hargrove

The traditional narrative for what a horror film looks like is constantly altering and adapting through the minds of incredibly creative directors, and even so, Alister Grierson’s new thriller manages to stand out among them all.

Bloody Hell, starring Ben O’Toole and Meg Fraser, follows the life of Rex, a man who’s life turns upside down in a matter of seconds as he finds himself right in the middle of a bank robbery, and his own quick thinking leads the bank patrons to safety, but him straight to jail.

During his time in prison, a vital video of the event crowns Rex a newfound celebrity, but the attention isn’t exactly what he wants. Fed up with his new life, Rex flees the country, only to arrive in a sadistic game of chance and torture, in a place so much worse than where he came from. What makes Bloody Hell so unique is the way that Fraser and O’Toole combine comedy with their horror performances, creating lighthearted comic relief amidst the bone chilling atmosphere of the film itself. This is a narrative that we don’t typically see in horror films, creating and incredibly unique and immersive movie experience for all to enjoy. The mind of Grierson creates a can’t miss cinematic event.

We had the chance to sit down with Ben and Meg to talk about their performances. Check out the full conversation. The film is now playing.

Exclusive: Frank Stallone Discusses His New Film, ‘Stallone: Frank, That Is’ [Video]

written by Niki Cruz

Frank Stallone has had a long and winding career in the entertainment industry as a musician, actor, and boxer. Now, he’s the subject of his own documentary “Stallone: Frank, That Is.”

The documentary captures Stallone, the younger brother of Sylvester, as he recounts a series of moments throughout his career. From going off on his own in 1964 as a young musician to opening for THE Bruce Springsteen. His big break came with songs featured in the hit “Rocky” films and later on disco’s finest “Staying Alive.” In both films, he’s rubbing elbows with its respective stars Sylvester Stallone and John Travolta. As an actor, he’s been featured in “Rocky,” “Miami Vice,” and “Hudson Hawk,” “Tombstone,” and “Fred Clause.”



As someone who has seen all sides of the industry over four decades, it was only a matter of time before someone decided to make a documentary about Stallone’s journey in the industry alongside Hollywood’s biggest heavyweights.

Director Derek Wayne Johnson highlights the Golden Globe and Grammy-nominated artist’s big breaks and the rough patches both on and off the stage, with commentary by colleagues Richie Sambora, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Billy Dee Williams, and family members Sylvester Stallone and his late mother, Jackie Stallone.

It’s Frank’s authenticity that shines through, as he tells unbelievable stories of working with today’s legends and his inspiring story of always getting back up from a knockout.

“Stallone, Frank That Is” is available on January 19th on Digital & VOD.
