Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington in “Philadelphia”

‘Philadelphia’ meant much to Tom Hanks

In 1993, some subjects still hadn’t gotten widely into the mainstream of major-studio movies ... one of the reasons “Philadelphia,” now streaming on Hulu, was such a milestone. Director Jonathan Demme’s drama also marked a career breakthrough for Tom Hanks, who largely had done lighter fare before taking the role of an AIDS-afflicted attorney who sues his former firm, believing his firing to be linked to his homosexuality.

Hanks earned the first of two consecutive Oscars for his work here (the second being for “Forrest Gump”). Denzel Washington also is excellent as another lawyer who changes from opponent to ally in taking the Hanks character’s case, which he turns down initially Other superb cast members include Joanne Woodward as Hanks’ mother, Antonio Banderas as his partner and Jason Robards as the law-firm chief

memoir into a TV show, Sara and just felt reassured right away that somebody who cared about us and our family and friends was at the helm.”

Railey Gilliland maintains making the series “wasn’t easy in the slightest, but getting to hang out with Tegan and Sara and getting to know them made that just slightly easier Their stories are relatable to Seazynn and me. And we just had a lot of fun.”

Adds Seazynn Gilliland, “I think that there was a responsibility, but it was only the best kind of responsibility. I’ve never seen anything like this on screen before. When I was 15 myself, I would have ved to see something like this. I think it’s really important to show, and I was able to be the one to show that. So that was nice.”

Despite the success she and Tegan have enjoyed, Sara Quin says of early tunes they wrote and performed, “We had decided that all of the music was bad. It’s actually been the support of people around us who’ve reassured us that the music is strong enough to be a focal point on the show. I think it just sort of shows that young people can do amazing things, right even out of the gate before they’ve had years of training and experience. ometimes, our first instinct is our best instinct.”

“ The Addams Family” (MeTV, Sunday, Oct. 9): You’d have to figure Halloween would have a deeper meaning to this clan than most others, and a marathon of episodes from the 1960s sitcom inspired by Charles Addams’ cartoons proves that to be the fact. As an example, after a neighbor tells young Wednesday (Lisa Loring) that witches don’t exist, Morticia and Grandmama (Carolyn Jones and Blossom Rock, aka Marie Blake) both set out to prove other wise.

“Edward Scissorhands” (Freeform, Thursday, Oct. 13): Though his name has arisen in other ways lately, Johnny Depp has yielded memorable characters during his career ... certainly including the distinctive, very sharp-fingered title figure in this 1990 fantasy, part of a full day of features by filmmaker Tim Burton that Freeform offers during its “31 Days of Halloween” event. Winona Ryder, Dianne Wiest, Anthony Michael Hall, Alan Arkin and horror icon Vincent Price also are featured.

‘Easy-Bake Battle’ champions quick and easy cuisine – without the light bulbs

Let’s just get this out of the way up front.

There were no light bulbs used to cook the comestibles on Netflix’s “Easy-Bake Battle” nor does the venerable Hasbro toy appliance make an appearance – at least not in the form that we know it.

No, the title of the culinary competition series that begins streaming its eight half hour episodes on Wednesday, Oct. 12, refers to, as the show’s release explains, cuisine “inspired by Hasbro’s iconic EasyBake Oven.” Translation: simple, easy, delicious meals one can make in little time and with a little outside-the-box thinking.

So expect to pick up plenty of clever kitchen hacks or shortcuts from accomplished home cooks as they vie in two rounds of competition for the chance to win $25,000 in each episode and the $100,000 grand prize at the end of the season.

The series comes from eOne, the production company owned by Hasbro, and features a whole lot of baking – and not the type of baking one might think.

“I don’t mean like cake baking,” explains executive producer Daniel Calin. “This show does both savory and sweet cooking, which I think differentiates it from a lot of the other shows you’ll see on platform and elsewhere. But in the second round, the oven that they use to bake very cleverly in, it aesthetically represents the classic Easy-Bake Oven; it’ll be reminiscent of it.”

So there is a wall oven in the shape of the EasyBake Oven here. It has no special capabilities and again, no light bulbs, just an average oven in which contestants will cook their pasta, steak, seafood and

And that’s where the hacks come in. If nothing else, viewers will come away with a few shortcuts and tricks that surely will make their time in the kitchen easier and more productive, just as it did for the home cooks here.

“

There’s a whole world of people on YouTube and TikTok and Instagram who had started championing like an easy way of cooking that is like hack-driven and still gets you to really delicious meals,” Calin says.

“These folks are like really busy people like you and I who have complicated lives and kids and a lot of demands coming their way. So in the kitchen they’ve had to figure out how to cook more efficiently without compromising the quality of their food, so they come to the competition with their shortcuts.”
