Netflix Is a Joke Festival continued on Sunday night with Seth Rogen’s Table Reads series, which saw the comedian and his famous friends perform three classic episodes of Seinfeld on behalf of his Hilarity for Charity Alzheimer’s nonprofit.

Bill Murray Addresses Allegations of Inappropriate Behavior: “The World is Different Than It Was When I Was a Little Kid”
Production on Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut, Being Mortal, has been suspended after a complaint was made against Bill Murray for inappropriate behavior. Searchlight Pictures announced the decision last week, and Murray himself addressed the complaint during an interview with CNBC on Saturday. “I had a difference of opinion with a woman I’m working with. I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn’t taken that way,” Murray explained. “The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it. and so they stopped the production.” “But as of now, we’re talking and we’re trying to make peace with each other,” Murray continued. “I think that’s where the real issue is, between our peace. We’re both professionals. We like each other’s w...

Though not much is known right now about the film’s plot, Searchlight is banking on both Ansari and Murray’s background in comedy to help sell this examination of mortality. ...
