Roar

'Roar' - Each episode focuses on s a different female character as they face their own challenges as a woman and confronting issues of race and inequality.

Mark feels very strongly that the world could use a lot more positivity and optimism, and is therefore very aligned to the mission of The Hollywood Insider to not spread hate or gossip, but instead to build each other up and shine a positive light on anyone bold enough to put their heart and soul into a piece of art. Media/Cinema/TV have a responsibility to better the world and The Hollywood Insider will continue to do so. As much of the show is reliant on the audience yielding to a bit of magical realism, each episode will wrap itself before the writers need to over-explain to the audience how they reached their conclusion. For this thesis of the show and what it desires to express the anthology format is a nice touch. Cinema taught me about our world, at times in English and at times through the beautiful one-inch bar of subtitles. “Woke” as a word can mean a lot of different things these days depending on who you are talking to and where you are in our country. With an all-star cast and great team behind it, I am optimistic it will reach a good audience and help some people open up their minds to the issues that impact vast groups of people on our planet every single day in every interaction, thought, or decision they face. I was very excited to see her launching the first episode of this series, and someone as insightful as her being attached bodes well for the series as a whole. In a role that requires a solid balance of dark comedy and drama, Issa is perfectly cast in the part. No one is more perfectly suited for the events that follow in this first episode, titled ‘The Woman Who Disappeared.’ Issa is masterful as she faces the casual racism and misogyny that befalls her character as she begins to lose her grip on who she truly is. The misunderstanding and lack of awareness the studio executives show Wanda is so completely devastating and reminiscent of the real-life “white savior” complex Black people experience on a daily basis. As Wanda, Issa plays a Black female author who is uncomfortable with the rapid success of her memoir about the at times harrowing and formative events of her life.

Stars thought it was all a bit quackers with Giles dubbing it "it's the worst thing I've ever seen on television".

That was some way to end @C4Gogglebox." Fan favourite Giles turned to his wife Mary, beginning to say: "the duck can't physically..." @journo_sophie said: "Nah #gogglebox I actually give up this is disgusting." @mellissadzinzi added: "No wonder people are cancelling their Netflix memberships if these are the kind of shows they're producing. Another beloved couple, Mica and Marcus watched with their hands over their eyes. @SophiLH_ seemed to tweet in horror, typing: "I am sincerely concerned about the producers and the writers of Roar. Those guys are NOT OK #gogglebox".

Gogglebox viewers were left as stunned as the stars of the hit Channel 4 show tonight by an X-rated scene - involving a woman and a duck - from Apple TV+ ...

IMDB describes it as "an insightful, poignant, and sometimes hilarious portrait of what it means to be a woman today. He tweeted: "I'm gonna have to watch that again on +1 to make sure it actually happened and I wasn't in a weird state of delusion." The views of many were summed up by @karenamy, who tweeted: "I’m traumatised by that."

The scene from Apple TV+'s Roar featured a woman being seduced by a duck and it left many of the stars of the show lost for words and traumatised. In the clip, ...

That was some way to end @C4Gogglebox." Fans of the show were left disgusted. @mellissadzinzi added: "No wonder people are cancelling their Netflix memberships if these are the kind of shows they're producing. However, when their relationship turned sexual, viewers and the cast of the Channel 4 show were left repulsed. @journo_sophie said: "Nah #gogglebox I actually give up this is disgusting."

Each of the women I encountered in Roar, the majestic ode to muliebrity in all its glorious hues—the good, the bad and the ugly—were memorable in their own ...

By the time the two women sit down for a character-transforming chat with “murderer” Alfred Molina, I was thinking of Season 2 of Roar. I hope it happens. When she reaches the denouement of her murder, the message of toxic masculinity is so overpowering, it feels like a jab in the butt after the pandemic is over. Fivel Stewart plays a girl who abandons her femininity to avenge her father’s murder, while Kara Hayward is her prim and squeamish partner in crime. The wonderful Meera Sayal—does she ever disappoint?—is less than overwhelming as a bored housewife who wants to “exchange” her annoying husband (Bernard White) for a more exciting partner. The seventh story “The Woman Who Returned Her Husband” is the only one with an Indian connection. Cynthia Erivo as the career woman who breaks into horrible abrasions all over the skin (guilt manifested) is all fire and fume, but it’s Jake Johnson as the househusband who has the tougher role. And the mandatory twist in the tale (the anthology would have worked so much better without it) is completely out of tune with the rest of the story of a successful woman who’s made to feel guilty for neglecting her family duties. Director So Yong Kim makes terrific use of the airhead prototype to tell us something supremely sorrowful about a woman who is taught by her mother to marry the richest man who proposes to her. The fourth story “The Woman Who Found Bite Marks On Her Skin" directed by Rashida Jones, is one of my least favourite. Both the actresses are in dishy form, giving each other tit for tat as we watch with a mix of amusement and anxiety. Memorable, of course, depends on what we as the audience value in life and in art; and by art, I mean popular art too. What was the need for the bizarre twist wherein Ms Kidman eats pictures from her family album to relive the image associated with the picture, no kidding!

This Apple TV+ anthology series explores healthy feminism from various viewpoints, but some of its content is inherently unhealthy.

And she stands her ground against allowing her son to stay the night at his girlfriend’s house (even though the girl’s parents are OK with it). She eats photographs because when she does, it allows her to briefly experience those memories the pictures captured. Wanda, a very young girl at the time, was also shoved to the ground by police when she panicked at what was happening (and she passed out from fear). And in “The Woman Who Ate Photographs,” Robin navigates the difficult life transitions of sending her son off to college and moving her mother (recently diagnosed with dementia) in with her. Rose, Robin’s mother, is rude to her, complaining about being “forced” to move out of her house. We hear several uses of the f-word and s-word, as well as “d–n.” God’s and Christ’s names are abused. Sexual encounters show some skin, and one weird scene features a woman with a duck (the act is kept off-camera, but the implication is disturbing, to say the least). And in case the episode titles didn’t clue you in, violence is also graphic and present. Elisa (from “The Woman Who Was Fed by a Duck”) gains the courage to leave an abusive relationship after reconnecting with her sister. In “The Woman Who Was Kept on a Shelf,” Amelia becomes a literal trophy wife when her new husband builds a shelf for her to sit on so he can admire her. Another man claims to be an ally simply because his wife is Mexican. Wanda is nearly hit by a car when she becomes invisible. Anu, from “The Woman Who Returned Her Husband,” chooses to work things out with her spouse (whom she met through an arranged marriage), even though she initially felt their marriage was over. She notes that her book publisher tried to photoshop her skin to appear lighter.

In it, the armchair TV critics watched an x-rated episode of Apple TV's anthology series Roar, which involved a woman and a duck getting, errrrm, intimate.

The stars of Gogglebox were just as traumatised as the rest of us after watching Friday’s episode of the Channel 4 show. Gogglebox airs on Channel 4 at 9pm every Friday and is also available to watch on All4.

The Gogglebox stars were left 'traumatised' after watching a particular scene on Friday's episode, just like the rest of us.

But gradually he’s gone down and down and down. Giles and Mary seemed pretty concerned with the technicalities of the situation, with Giles exclaiming ‘Nooo’ in disgust, much like the rest of us. The series is based on a book of short stories by Cecelia Ahern, including one called The Woman Who Was Fed By A Duck, and in one scene of that short story a woman and a duck share an intimate moment.

Roar is now available to stream exclusively on Apple TV+. Created by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch – best known as the creators of GLOW – the American anthology ...

After demanding our attention, here’s where the TV show Roar is streaming. That’s all our jobs as actors, but I felt in this circumstance, that tension is very heightened.” For those who have seen the Gogglebox episode, you’ll understand why it’s generated quite the discussion on Twitter.
