It's creepy how much she resembles Megyn Kelly.

I watched, 'The Loudest Voice' on Showtime and it was mind blowing. Russell Crowe as Ailes was thoroughly disgusting. I knew the asshole was a piece of crap, but I had no idea he was that demented and repugnant. Crowe must have had nightmares for months following his portrayal of Ailes. John Lithgow has some big shoes to fill to top Crowe's performance.

Ailes could die a thousand painful deaths and it wouldn't be enough punishment for what he did. Sienna Miller played Ailes wife "Beth", and either Beth was in serious denial about hubby's actions or she's the dumbest person on the planet. I guess it's the latter, because at the end they said she still believes in Roger's innocence. 'The Loudest Voice' was painful and disgusting to watch, and my dog thinks I'm stark raving mad for all the shouting I did at the TV.

'Bombshell' stars two of my favorite actors in Theron and Kidman, so I guess I''m going to have to suffer through another Roger Ailes tell-all. They'll probably throw me out of the theater because I won't be able to remain silent about Ailes' disgusting persona. What a disgusting bag of pus he was.

I don't know how Lithgow can top Crowe, but if anyone can it is Lithgow, an exceptionally fine actor. It will be too bad that both actors can't get Emmys for their performances...

My caveat: watch it but be prepared for some rough scenes, if it is anything like the Crowe version.

I am so glad that man Ailes is dead.

it's not a happy story, but it is based on true scandals that ended Roger Ailles' career there.

Insanity is covered, wonder why they left that stroke out of the script...

Steven Root is in it too. Love that guy.
