In this exclusive interview, Kate Hudson and Ana Lily Amirpour discuss Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon with The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey Schofield.
Happy Halloween! If you’re looking for a great escape this spooky season, Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon is your go-to popcorn pursuit. Kate Hudson plays Bonnie Bell: a street-wise stripper and single mother. The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days goddess recently said that her tougher-than-nails character is inspired by pop icon Cardi B.
Based in New Orleans, where Hudson famously films a large number of her movies, Bonnie Bell stumbles upon a mystifying woman with supernatural powers. Influenced by Mona Lisa’s perplexing abilities, Bonnie sees the mysterious stranger as a Godsend and immediately starts trying to monetize her superpowers. Once the NOPD starts chasing the duo… all hell breaks loose.
Evan Whitten plays Hudson’s son, Charlie, and fierce defender of Mona Lisa Lee. No. His performance didn’t make me cry. Happy opposite day.
I would describe this movie as wildly wonderful and extremely fun.
Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon stars Kate Hudson, Jeon Jong-seo, Craig Robinson, Ed Skrein, and Evan Whitten. The film and written and directed by the fantastic Ana Lily Amirpour.

In this exclusive interview, Neil Patrick Harris, Tisha Campbell, Marcia Gay Harden, Tuc Watkins, Emerson Brooks, and Brooks Ashmanskas discuss Netflix’s Uncoupled with The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey Schofield.
It’s got the fashion, the sexy singles, and yes… the universal heartbreak. They’re calling Netflix’s Uncoupled: Sex and the City for the LGBTQ community. Cocreators Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman were inspired after several long-term relationships around them “imploded in a very specific way. It’s your worst nightmare but also a great jumping-off point for a romantic comedy.”
Let’s set the scene… NYC real estate agent Michael (Neil Patrick Harris… Yes. The NPH. Bless.) is blindsided by his breakup at the birthday party he’s arranged for his partner of 17 YEARS, Colin (Tuc Watkins). Suddenly, Michael is thrust into this world of 40-something singledom. Dating apps, risque photos, and my GOD this all sounds exhausting! How do you single people do it?!
Don’t fret though because NPH’s existential crisis comes with an entourage of BFFs that will keep you cackling! Suzanne (Tisha Campbell), Billy (Emerson Brooks), Stanley (Brooks Ashmanskas), and Claire (Marcia Gay Harden) are there to support Michael and show him the ropes. And hopefully… salvage what they can of his liver!
We ask the cast what it’s like to work with Doogie Howser, M.D. and what makes Uncoupled so unique in a world flooded with content! Spoiler alert: It’s NPH!

In this exclusive interview with The Knockturnal, Hannah Einbinder, Megan Stalter, Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Mark Indelicato, Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky discuss season two of HBO Max’s Hacks with The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey Schofield.
Emmy winner Hacks took award season by storm last year! Season one followed two struggling comedians played by Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder – that initially clash but learn to lean on one another. Season two shakes things up with the same characters we know in love but with a ROAD TRIP, a cruise, and Antiques Roadshow… literally!
After getting kicked to the curb by her Las Vegas residency, Smart’s character, Deborah Vance, decides to take her show on the road! A weary Ava (Einbinder) is recruited to join her and all hell breaks loose when a hurtful secret is revealed.
Season two seems to pay more attention to the people in the perimeter of Deborah Vance’s life… and we will never ever complain about more Kayla vs. Jimmy! Kayla is played by Instagram goddess Megan Stalter while co-creator Paul W. Downs plays Hollywood agent (with a heart!), Jimmy. Their joy is infectious! Despite mostly being at war on camera! How much trouble do these two get into? Find out in the interview above!
Mark Indelicato plays Damien – who hits the road with Deborah and Ava. He’s the ride or die you want by your side and tells it like it is. Meanwhile, Carl Clemons-Hopkins is Marcus… Deborah’s right-hand man suffering from a case of all business… no pleasure. Marcus struggles to navigate between working hard and finding time to treat himself! Mark and Carl discuss their cover of Out Magazine, K9 co-workers, and so much more in the interview above.
Plus! Hannah Einbinder, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky talk cool celebrity endorsements and thrifting!

Caitriona Balfe, Jamie Dornan, Sir Kenneth Branagh, Jude Hill, and Ciaran Hinds attend the premiere of the Belfast movie at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California on Monday.
You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll cheer as it wins all of the trophies next award show season!
Watch the interview above.
Set in the late 1960s, Belfast is a semi-autobiographical tale from Sir Kenneth Branagh that explores the life of a/his charming working-class family during The Troubles in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Belfast’s Los Angeles premiere saw most of the stars walk the red carpet with the exception of Dame Judi Dench. PS. We missed you!
Bite-size star Jude Hill plays a young Sir Kenneth Branagh in the film and walked the carpet with a beautiful mystery blonde… ok, it was his Mom but she was still beautiful and mysterious. Jude was 9 when he landed the life-changing role. He’s 11 now. A man. Jude told The Knockturnal‘s Kinsey Schofield that he was initially a little nervous to work with Kenneth but the Harry Potter star turned out to be “such a nice guy.” I can concur!
Upon mention of a recent Variety article comparing Branagh to Walt Disney, George Clooney, and Warren Beatty, the writer/director responds, “It’s beautifully insane!”
Ciaran Hinds, who is also from Belfast, discusses what he discovered about his own family tree and what it’s like to recreate someone that someone else once loved. Hinds seemed most excited for American audiences to get a peek at the Belfast movie!
Last but not least, we ask Caitriona Balfe and Jamie Dornan what it is like to recreate someone’s life in front of them… plus we check on Jamie’s wifi situation.
YOU GET AN OSCAR, YOU GET AN OSCAR, YOU GET AN OSCAR.
Belfast is in theaters on November 12, 2021, and stars Caitriona Balfe, Jamie Dornan, Jude Hill, Judi Dench, and Ciaran Hinds.
