Poster for Kristen Wiig’s Palm Royale recreates look of paperback covers from the 60s/70s

Love it!

Just like a paperback novel

The kind the drugstore sells

Is that Helen Lawson ??????!!!!!!

I love it too. She's not the most beautiful woman in the world, but you have to give Kristen Wiig credit - she has a banging body and has really made herself into a very attractive woman. I love her style.

Considering where she started on SNL.

You gotta love those characters she played on Saturday Night Love.

....

No credit for Julia Duffy?

Another Apple+ FLOP

This show has Datalounge written all over it.

So Kaia Gerber can act now? Next she'll tell us she's a nuclear physicist.

It’s like they found the gayest datalounger, and the concept leapt out from his mind like Athena from Zeus

Mindy Cohn spotted at the 1:07 mark. Natalie FINALLY hit the big time.

Looks FABULOUS! Also, it appears as though Ricky and Josh Lucas may have a “connection,” as well. Can’t wait!

Uh oh Ricky Martin is in it. I must watch.

PS As much as I dislike nepo babies, I must admit Kaia Gerber was surprisingly charismatic and effective in her episode of American Horror Stories not too long ago. It seems she’s playing a Sharon Tate-esque type anyway, so it may work.

Ricky Martin is a 52 year old pool boy?!!! Yes, please! He looks 20 years younger than Josh Lucas even though they're the same age.

Yes, this looks gayer than Christmas.

I don't care who knows it dammit: I will be watching.

I can’t imagine how many sensitive snowflakes will melt since apparently the main pictured cast is almost entirely white, with Ricky and the black chick the only POC.

R15 She did fine in the comedy 'Bottoms', too. And believe me I wasn't hoping to like her.

Who remembers THIS classic novel of the era?

Everything she does is in air quotes.

Fabulous poster.

What is the tone of this supposed to be exactly?

She’s had some good surgery.

Her face in the poster is made in Photoshop R23. The whole poster is made in Photoshop and Illustrator. It's not how any of them really look.

This is what it's about: "Palm Royale is an upcoming period comedy miniseries created by Abe Sylvia based on the novel Mr. & Mrs. American Pie by Juliet McDaniel. A woman works towards attaining a place in Palm Beach high society, in the process learning what she will and won't do to achieve this".

It sounds fun and I like the cast. It's set to be released on March 20, 2024.

Go it's Gilded Age with gogo boots?

Is the woman in the mauve caftan supposed to be Janney?

Or a comedy version of Capote vs the Swans.

I think I'm into it. I don't need another subscription, but if this is good, I'll at least get one to binge the episodes.

That’s Maureen McCormack! That not 50 year old Kristen Wiig!

And this is why I won’t watch this. The invasion of nepo babies is out of control.

There are countless, talented, trained, hard-working performers waiting tables and fighting just to get an audition. Then this privileged princess just waltzes into a career because her look-alike mommy was a supermodel and her dad is best friends with George Clooney. She’s never had to work a real job in her life, grew up rich and pampered and now she’s gifted an acting career…just because.

No thank you. It may be impossible to totally escape them - especially moving forward - but for a curiosity project like this, I’ll pass.

R29, this is nothing new! WTF do you think a monarchy is?

R29 I know, it’s infuriating.

Last I checked the U.S didn’t have a monarchy, R30.

I love the cover, it looks exactly like those big bestselling sagas from the 1970s I always find for 2 dollars in the used bookstore near my home. The always look so glamorous, and I always say I'm going to buy one for the hell of it and read it but I never do.3

I hope this CAN be judged by its cover.

Indeed, R33, and I’m the dame to prove it!
