Tom Holland and Zendaya agreed mid-shoot on Spider-Man: Brand New Day that a scene wasn't working — a conversation Tom says he would never dare have with an actress he didn't know intimately. Their honesty led director Destin Daniel Cretton to send the crew home, rewrite the scene overnight with the writer, and reshoot it the next day. The result, Tom says, 'sings in the movie.'

Amy steers into relationship territory carefully, and Tom responds with evident pride and affection. He calls Zendaya 'fearless' as a performer — citing Rue in Euphoria and Emma in Challengers as polar opposites delivered with identical intent and passion — and simply calls her 'the best actor going.' [1] — Tom Holland "I think she's the best actor going. I really think she has, like, something special." 59:32 Beyond craft, he describes having a partner who understands the industry from the inside as a practical emotional lifeline: someone who understands both the comfort of a shoot and the exposure of a press tour, who can big you up or talk you down, who gets it in a 'personal' way that no one outside the industry really can. Amy and Tom briefly acknowledge the projective quality of celebrity fandom before moving on.
Robby Hoffman isn't fearless — she's terrified all the time. The difference is she does it anyway, because not doing it feels worse than the fear itself.
John Mulaney texted Robby Hoffman out of nowhere saying he'd been a fan for a while and wanted to make a Netflix special with her. Robby called it 'shocking, horrifying, anxiety-inducing, surreal and thrilling' — and said yes.
Mulaney is buttoned-up, suit-wearing, classy. Robby is gritty, raw, and undefined. Together they made the collab nobody expected. Batman and Robin. Eminem and Dido.
Music had Pope Gregory forcing notation. Comedy has had 'magical thinking' — he's just got funny bones. But jokes work through discoverable, teachable mechanics. Writing down the rules doesn't kill the magic; it gives more people access to it.
Howard Ashman had one insight nobody else had: animated Disney films should be Broadway musicals. The third song of every great musical is the character sitting alone explaining what they want. That's 'Part of Your World.' That structure — combined with Alan Menken's compositions — generated Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King, and turned Disney Animation into the most profitable creative engine in entertainment history.
The Lion King musical has been running for 30 years across Broadway, London's West End, and global touring companies. It has grossed over $11 billion in total revenue — more than Avatar, more than Avengers: Endgame, more than any album, more than any video game. It generates an average of $350 million in revenue every single year. Disney owns it outright.
The anonymous French artist Invader has hidden 1,500 pixelated mosaic artworks across Paris alone, with thousands more scattered across 80+ cities — affixed to the Eiffel Tower, the Hollywood sign, and even sent to the International Space Station. He might be even busier than Banksy.
The Flash Invaders app turns city streets into a treasure hunt, letting players scan Invader's hidden mosaics for points. Players have collectively logged over 47 million flashes. Unlike most mobile games that glue you to a screen, this one forces you to look up and engage with your surroundings.
New York draws thousands of young, talented performers every year chasing Broadway stardom — but the hard truth is that most of them never make it. Zelig Williams was one of the rare exceptions.
