Why Billie Eilish Apple TV+ Doc Looks Like ‘The Office’

Charlotte Henry ·

Pop stars notoriously come up with all sorts of weird demands for those around them. However, director R.J. Cutler was not quite prepared for Billie Eilish to ask for their Apple TV+ collaboration to look like The Office. He explained the request to Entertainment Weekly.

It took a second for the acclaimed The September Issue director to understand what the young music phenom was looking for, exactly. But by spending more time with her, “I realized what she meant was, as you know, there’s a unique relationship that the John Krasinski character in particular has with the camera in The Office, which is a full documentary. And that’s really what she was alluding to,” he tells EW. “That kind of connection to the camera was something she wanted the opportunity to have in making a documentary.” While it’s not an element that takes over the film, “There are two or three key moments where she connects with the camera in a way that is reflective of who Billie is in her connection to her audience,” the director adds.

Will Apple’s ‘Wolfwalkers’ Win a Best Animated Feature Oscar?

Andrew Orr ·

Brandon Zachary makes an argument that the “Wolfwalkers” animated movie on Apple TV+ should win an Oscar for Best Animated Feature instead of yet another Disney movie.

It’s a highly engaging film, and one that never loses steam throughout the runtime. Wolfwalkers is passionate in a way the more heady Soul isn’t, taking audiences on a massive journey that touches on the plight of young women in this era, as well as men who are trapped by duty; however, it shows how people can grow to be better humans.
