This Jane the Virgin Star Is Launching a Talk Show to Tackle the Gender Stereotypes Hurting Men

Sep 21, 2017

If you ask 100 people what being a man means in modern day America, you will most likely receive 100 different answers. The reason for this is simple: As our culture continues to evolve beyond the hard division between men and women, masculinity has become more and more of a self-defined construct.

Every person may have a different view on what being a man entails, but not a lot of men are encouraged to open up and talk about their shifting and varied roles in today’s society. That’s exactly what Jane the Virgin star Justin Baldoni wants to address through his new show, Man Enough.

Baldoni is creating the show to break down common stereotypes and misconceptions about men and, most of all, to get men to share with each other.

A post shared by Justin Baldoni (@justinbaldoni) on

“I think I just wanted to come out and explore what it means to be a man in a new way because no one talks about this stuff,” Baldoni tells Brit + Co during a break from filming Jane the Virgin. “It’s very rare to see men open up and talk… and I think that there’s a lot of men out there that want to but just don’t have permission.”

The show, which will premiere in November, will be an open forum between Baldoni and a rotating panel of five men. Similar in concept to shows like The View, Baldoni’s show will be based on conversation and discussion.

“This show is in no way going to be saying that men have to be a certain way,” he says. “This is not a normal talk show: This is a conversation show. This is not me dictating what I think it is or what is important. It’s much more ‘Hey, here is how I see things,’ and then allowing the other men to bounce off and share their ideas as well.”

Prior to production, Baldoni and his team held many focus groups of both men and women to get their reactions on the idea. What he found is that the show appealed to all genders.

“We found that men really want to watch this show, but they’re a lot less likely to post about it or share it because it’s a more private thing [due to] embarrassment,” he explains. This embarrassment roots in the fear of being labeled feminine or “unmanly.”

But, he adds that the show is appealing to women because it helps them understand men in a new way. Women are also likelier to share it on social media.

Incidentally, the first episode of Man Enough will discuss why men are afraid to communicate and ask for help. The second episode will focus on body dysmorphia and the fact that it affects men just as it does women.

“[Body image] are two words you never hear a man say,” Baldoni observes. “He might feel it, but you’re never going to hear a man say it. Body dysmorphia is rampant right now in men and it’s growing with the fact that now all these young kids have to have a six-pack or an eight-pack to get the girl.”

Baldoni has spoken out before about his personal struggle with body image and dysmorphia, though many view him as having a “perfect body.” On an Instagram post in June, he explained this further, writing, “Muscles don’t give you anything except the insecurity & desire of keeping them & making them bigger…The truth is that I’m one of the many millions of men & women that have body dysmorphia. When I look in the mirror I’m not happy with what I see like so many of you.”

#bodyimage Two words you've probably never heard come out of a man's mouth. I would bet that most of us assume that women are the only ones who struggle with their body image & feelings of low self-esteem. That assumption couldn't be more wrong. As a man I can tell you right now that I struggle with my own body image & there are infinite layers that contribute to why. I grew up really skinny. I always felt like my T-shirts just hung from my neck because I had no shoulders. I wanted to have muscles because I thought that would make me a real man. I thought it would help me get friends & girls & be respected. I was wrong. Muscles don't give you anything except the insecurity & desire of keeping them & making them bigger. I don't think we have ever addressed the underlying reason why most of us really go to the gym & stay in shape. Why do we sacrifice eating the foods we want to eat, while spending hours, working on parts of our bodies that most people will never see. Pushing ourselves, sweating, buying billions of dollars in products & clothing that hide our problem areas well following influencers who spend their entire day in the gym posting about it and make $ off our secret jealousy. What does that say about how we feel about ourselves? Does it really inspire us or does it set an unrealistic expectation for ourselves & our partners? The truth is that I'm one of the many millions of men & women that have body dysmorphia. When I look in the mirror I'm not happy with what I see like so many of you. Yes of course you can all say what you want about me - but nothing you say can make the little Justin who was picked on, who felt weak and like he wasn't enough feel amazing about how he looks. So to my dear friends… be patient with yourself. Love yourself, & be OK having insecurities. To my men, talking about your insecurities doesn't make you less of a man ... it actually makes you more of a man. We all have different reasons why we want to look the way we want to look... I just think it's important we start being real about it -because our children are going to grow up not just just looking at us but wanting to be like us. #TheMensRoom #redefinemasculinity

A post shared by Justin Baldoni (@justinbaldoni) on

Since the birth of his daughter Maiya, Baldoni has been very open on social media about topics such as fatherhood, feminism, immigration, his own downfalls, and, of course, masculinity. He explains that he puts much consideration and thought into each post, having seen how impactful each one can be.

“Over the years I’ve received a lot of deeply personal messages through social media… and even a few from individuals who say that because of a post they read or video they saw us create made the choice to not end their life,” he says. “Look, if there is even one life still here on this planet because of something that came through me, that I then posted or made a video about on my social channels, then continuing to use my platform in this way is the least I could do.”

He hopes to translate that level of connectivity to Man Enough. “If you can think of it, we want to talk about it,” he says of the forthcoming show. And, for what it’s worth, Baldoni and his team believe there are tons of men out there who are ready and willing to be part of the conversation — and plenty others who are ready to listen.

While you wait for Man Enough to premiere in November, you can catch Baldoni on season four of Jane the Virgin, which dropsOctober 13.

HBO's New Batman Drama Features The 'Gilmore Girls' Star You Miss The Most

The cozy, bright world of Stars Hollow could not be farther from the dark grittiness of Gotham, which is why I was shook to my core when I found out a beloved Gilmore Girls cast member was a part of The Penguin on Max. The show follows the titular Batman villain, played by Colin Farrell, and his rise to power in the city's criminal underworld. And in episode 2, Luca Falcone shows up to become the leader of the family — and if Luca looks familiar to you, it's because he's played by Scott Cohen AKA Max Medina!

Who is Luca Falcone?

Macall Polay/HBO

The Penguin Cast

Luca Falcone, played by Scott Cohen, becomes the head of the Falcone crime family after his brother Carmine Falcone is assassinated. And then he winds up executing Castillo after C is accused of being a mole. This is a far cry from the Max we know and love in Gilmore Girls — he is so kind, funny, and charming that part of me wishes he were Lorelai's endgame...

The rest of The Penguin cast includes Colin Farrell as Oz Cobb, Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Rhenzy Feliz as Victor Aguilar, Michael Kelly as Johnny Viti, Shohreh Aghdashloo as Nadia Maroni, Deirdre O’Connell as Francis Cobb, Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni, James Madio as Milos Grapa, Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone, Carmen Ejogo as Eve Karlo, Theo Rossi as Dr. Julian Rush.

Where can I watch The Penguin TV show?

Macall Polay/HBO

The Penguin Release Date

You can watch The Penguin on HBO and Max every Sunday until the season finale on November 10. Here's the full schedule:

  1. "After Hours" on September 19
  2. "Inside Man" on September 29
  3. "Bliss" on October 6
  4. "Cent'Anni" on October 13
  5. "Homecoming" on October 20
  6. "Gold Summit" on October 27
  7. "Top Hat" on November 3
  8. "Great or Little Thing" on November 10

Is The Penguin a prequel to Batman?

Macall Polay/HBO

The Penguin Plot

The Penguin serves as a sequel to Robert Pattinson's The Batman from 2022. The eight-episode series explores The Penguin, whose real name is Oswald "Oz" Cobb, as he becomes the infamous villain superhero fans have come to know.

How many episodes are there of The Penguin?

Macall Polay/HBO

There are eight episodes in The Penguin. After the series premiered on Thursday, September 19, the show shifted to a Sunday release.

Is The Penguin series still happening?

Macall Polay/HBO

Yes, the series is still premiering weekly on HBO and Max! There's no word on a season 2 yet but stay tuned for any official updates.

Pretty Sure The First Leaked Images From Timothee Chalamet's New Movie Are Cursed

Celebrities really aren't that different from us. They experiment with their fashion, they have their tried-and-true party recipes, and they get serious celebrity crushes. And we can actually thank Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter Apple (and her celeb crush on Timothée Chalamet) for the GOOP founder's return to the big screen. Marty Supreme marks the first time Gwyneth Paltrow has been in a movie since 2019's Avengers: Endgame, and as soon as Apple heard about the Dune star's involvement in the new movie, "she pleaded with her mom to accept," according to a Daily Mail source.

We don't actually have an official synopsis for the movie yet, but Variety reports that the fictional movie could be inspired by the life and career of professional ping pong player Marty Reisman, who passed away in 2012. Here's everything you need to know about the film, including the beloved rapper making his film debut.

See The First Set Photos From 'Marty Supreme'

The first leaks from Marty Supreme show Timothée Chalamet with a brand new haircut and a mustache. (I was wondering why he cut all his hair off!). He is barely recognizable and my first thought when I saw these photos was "Oh!" His trousers + button down + tie combo is vintage, but I definitely want a pair of red leather gloves for fall 2024.

And can we get Timothée in a sweater vest for the rest of time?

What is the new ping pong movie?

Marty Supreme Plot

Timothée Chalamet's new movie Marty Supreme is a ping pong movie, and word on the street is it's inspired by the late Marty Reisman. On July 15, A24 confirmed Timothée's casting on X (formerly Twitter) with a photo of a ping pong ball with "Marty Supreme" written on it above three stars and "Made in America."

The style of A24's ping pong ball looks similar to real-life ping pong balls used in the 1960s, which definitely supports the idea Marty Supreme could take place in the 60s or 70s. And this isn't the first time we'll see Timothée Chalamet in a vintage biopic! The actor is starring as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, which hits theaters this Christmas.

Who's in the Marty Supreme cast?

Marty Supreme Cast

In addition to Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow, Tyler the Creator just joined the cast of Marty Supreme. Josh Safdie and Ronald Bronstein are writers, as well as producers alongside Timothée Chalamet, Eli Bush, and Anthony Katagas.

When is Marty Supreme coming out?

Marty Supreme Release Date

We don't have an official release date for the movie yet. Stay tuned to see when Marty Supreme will hit theaters!

The Reason Jess' 'Gilmore Girls' Spinoff Never Happened Is Simply Not Good Enough

You don't necessarily have to be Team Jess to agree that life without Milo Ventimiglia's Gilmore Girls spinoff is devastating. The series, which was tentatively called Windward Circle, was supposed to use an episode of Gilmore Girls season 3 when Jess goes to California to find his dad as a sort of backdoor pilot (an episode of an existing show that features a ton of new characters to test if they're well-received). But unfortunately, even though we found the concept wildly entertaining, the CW pulled the plug.

Warner Bros. Television

Considering Milo Ventimiglia is a star, and Jess is so beloved, the fact that Windward Circle never happened makes me just as sad as the idea that Gilmore Girls season 7 wasn't supposed to be the finale! Here's everything you need to know about the series that never was. Sigh.

Why was Windward Circle cancelled?

The CW/The WB/YouTube

Even though Gilmore Girls already introduced the characters we'd see in Windward Circle, according to IMDb, the show was reportedly scrapped because it was too expensive to film in Venice Beach. Stars Hollow is actually part of the Warner Brothers lot so Gilmore Girls didn't have to film on location often. Windward Circle would have been a different story.

"I think she really wanted that to be such a different vibe from the leaves falling in Stars Hollow to being out in Venice in California," saysGilmore Girls writer and consulting producer Stan Zimmerman. "It just never gelled into anything, but it was interesting to see Jess's life and what that would've been like."

"There is just something about the East Coast...those leaves changing," he continues. "It just has this cool, towny feeling you just want to hang out in and it's very warm."

What was Windward Circle about?

The WB/The CW/YouTube

The Jess Mariano spinoff would have focused on his relationship with his dad, and his life in California. If you ask me, Jess' witty comebacks and all that leather would have been just as entertaining on a California beach as it was in Stars Hollow.

Although, knowing how much we love a teen drama romance, there's a chance Jess would have ended up with someone besides Rory. I don't know if I could have handled that!

Do we ever see Jess again?

Netflix

Yes! Jess Mariano returns in a few season 4 episodes, and in Gilmore Girls season 6. He also shows up in Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, and has a beautiful conversation with Rory that PROVES they're endgame. I will not be taking suggestions!

Were there any other planned Gilmore Girls spinoffs?

Warner Bros. Television

Another idea for a spinoff of sorts involved Rory and Lorelai coming back for another 13 episodes after the season 7 finale. But Lauren Graham told TVGuide in 2007 that she and Alexis Bledel were ready for a break from the insane filming schedules.

"Right now you have me working six to seven days an episode, and Alexis doing about the same," she said. "They tried to make it appealing for us, and we tried to be imaginative, but then at the end of the day it just felt like we were trying to do something impossible."

Halloween's Come Early Because 'Scream 7' Just Set Its Release Date

Scream 6 was one of the hottest movies of 2023, and we've been looking forward to Scream 7 since the credits started rolling! I'm super excited to see Neve Campbell return as Sidney Prescott, but it also looks like Friends star Courteney Cox is in talks to return to the slasher franchise, too. Here's everything we know about the new movie.

When is Scream 7 coming out?

Philippe Bossé/Paramount Pictures

Scream 7 Release Date

Scream 7 will hit theaters on February 27, 2026. This is an unexpectedly perfect release date because nothing sends a shiver down my spine like winter (and Ghostface of course).

Scream 6 was such a fun spring movie because outside of Halloween season, anytime around summer feels like the perfect time for a scary movie!

Is Sidney going to be in Scream 7?

Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

Scream 7 Cast

Yes, Sidney Prescott will be in Scream 7! “Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!!” franchise lead Neve Campbell says on Instagram. “It’s always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the ‘Scream’ movies. My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned. I’m very happy and proud to say I’ve been asked, in the most respectful way, to bring Sidney back to the screen and I couldn’t be more thrilled.”

The actress was not involved in Scream 6 due to salary inequity. "As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream,'" she told Variety ahead of the sixth movie's release. "I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise."

Who else is in the cast of Scream 7?

Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

In addition to Neve Campbell, we could also reportedly see Courteney Cox reprise her role as Gale Weathers, via Variety. However, we won't see onscreen sisters Melissa Barrera or Jenna Ortega in Scream 7. It was announced in November 2023 that Melissa would no longer star in the franchise following her posts on the Isreal-Hamas war, while Jenna's absence has been attributed to Wednesday season 2 scheduling conflicts.

What is Scream 7 going to be about?

Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

Scream 7 Plot

We don't have an official plot for Scream 7 quite yet, but I'm feeling confident we'll see Sidney Prescott and (hopefully) Gale Weathers take down another Ghostface. Scream 6 co-writer Guy Busick has the sole writing credit on this new script, as well as Melissa Barrera's 2024 movieAbigail.

Is Scream 7 confirmed?

Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

Yes, Scream 7 is officially happening! After Scream 6 (which was released in March 2023) became the highest-grossing movie of the whole franchise, a sequel was announced in August of that year. Kevin Williamson, writer for the original 1996 Scream, will direct.
