You Trailer Season 5: Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg Goes on a Killing Spree in Final Chapter of Netflix Thriller

Published by Parlour News

Netflix dropped the official trailer for the fifth and final season of You! Joe Golberg is back to his usual stuff: faking his identity, stalking women, and murdering everyone who came close to discovering his psychotic truth.  Joe (Penn Badgley) is back in New York, living a happy life being married to a rich socialite. “You are back in the greatest city in the world, thanks to the one person who could make it possible,” he says in the trailer.  With his recent rise to fame, Joe tries to bury his past. However, he soon gets entangled in elite politics and deals with the side effects of fame. That’s when another woman enters his life who understands some things that people in his new “world” wouldn’t understand.  And so begins the same old pattern, Jow believing that this new woman understands him like no other. However, this time, with his face blown up on every media outlet and newspaper, making a great escape seems almost impossible.  “They’ve made me the most visible man in New …

Penn Badgley’s take on You’s Joe Goldberg has fans asking ‘Vanga boys’ Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor to take note

Published by Parlour News

Feb 21, 2025 03:44 PM IST Never across You’s promotions, has Penn Badgley ever endorsed Joe Goldberg’s psychopathy. Fans want Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor to take a good look If you think you hate You’s Joe Goldberg, Penn Badgley, even after years of pouring life into the sadistic psychopathic lover boy, still will always hate him more. And the actor has never shied away from it. As a matter of fact, he has time and again addressed how wrong it is for audiences to be lusting after the bloodied lovelorn killer. Ranbir Kapoor in Animal (2023); Penn Badgley in You (2018-2025); Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh (2019) Among the sea of such clips doing the rounds of the internet, one in particular has resurfaced with a rather interesting take. Penn, once again referring to the “thirsty” reception of Joe Goldberg, reiterates how that was never the intention, either in writing the character or portraying it. He also asserted that what this essentially highlights about society at large, is their willingness to be patient and …

‘Humour is a way to make difficult conversations easier’: Actor Kal Penn on his memoir, Hollywood, and the White House | India News

“Algebra doesn’t have a plot,” Kal Penn said with a laugh, recalling a childhood conversation with his father about his struggles with maths. The American actor and writer, known for his roles in Harold & Kumar film series, House and The Namesake, was at the Jaipur Literature Festival to discuss his memoir, You Can’t Be Serious, an exploration of his journey as the son of Indian immigrants, his battles with bullying, and his rise in Hollywood. The session was a mix of humour, candour, and sharp insights into the challenges of representation in the entertainment industry. Penn’s memoir, he said, was inspired by the works of comedians such as Mindy Kaling and Tina Fey — books that are “funny, heartfelt, and the kind you can read on a train or on holiday.” But writing his own story, he admitted, was far more difficult than he anticipated. “I turned in the first draft of the first three chapters, and my editor called me and said, ‘Hey, so you pitched us a funny book. But this is …

The ‘Pudumai Penn’ scheme was not one of DMK’s promises when it was campaigning for the 2021 Assembly elections; but after coming to power, the Tamil Nadu government implemented it regardless in the larger interest of girl children, said Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Monday (December 30, 2024). Mr. Stalin was speaking at a function at Kamaraj College in Thoothukudi, during which he distributed cheques under the ‘Pudumai Penn’ scheme to girl children – which extends ₹1,000 per month to girls from classes 6 to 12 in government aided schools so they can pursue higher education in any discipline. Referring to girl students as “achievers of tomorrow,” the Chief Minister said Tamil Nadu was a frontrunner in providing education to girls and many States were following in the Dravidian model. Be it employment, higher education, or research, women from Tamil Nadu were at the top, nationally, he said. ‘A social revolution’ “A man entering higher education reflects academic growth, while a woman entering college or pursuing research means a social revolution,” he said. …

Penn continued his rambling, stating that ceremonies like the Oscars should best be seen as “television shows first” rather than measures of artistic value. “So I don’t… get very excited about what we’ll call the Academy Awards (except for) when a …
