Kyra Sedgwick Wants More Middle-Aged Sex Onscreen
'I very much have all the trope attributes of Jewish motherhood,' she said. 'I really want to know that you've eaten, and if you're hungry I'll make you something. I want to make sure you're not too cold or too hot. I want to know what you had for breakfast.'
'Bad Shabbos' centers on a Shabbat dinner that goes spectacularly off the rails, but Sedgwick finds the sentiments it evokes to be universal. 'Like them or not, they're your family,' she said in a video call from Austin, Texas, where she and her husband, Kevin Bacon, and their children, Travis and Sosie, are making a comedy-horror movie about a family of filmmakers.
'It is not us, but it is inspired by us,' she said before elaborating on why '90s rock, 'All Fours' by Miranda July and the meditation teacher Tara Brach are among her must-haves. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.
Bess Wohl is extraordinary. Basically it's about this woman who's now in her 30s trying to figure out who her mother was in the genesis of women's lib. And she's imagining what that was like and asking, 'What did we get wrong?' I think the message of the play is: We didn't get it wrong. The world got it wrong.
I'm just heartbroken because they stopped making it. I'm not a big perfume person, but I've been wearing it for 20, 25 years, and all of a sudden they're putting it in the vault. And there's really not much to say except that I just loved it.

Major Update on Absent AEW Star Ahead of 'All In Texas'
Major Update on Absent AEW Star Ahead of 'All In Texas' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A top AEW name who has been absent for several months might surface by "All In Texas." AEW's biggest pay-per-view event of the year is scheduled for July 12. The company has been building up several storylines leading up to the show, and there are expected to be some surprises. Could one of those surprises be the return of one of AEW's "Four Pillars?" Advertisement Fightful reports that Darby Allin is believed to be returning "imminently." Some backstage went as far as to say they'd be "shocked" if Allin isn't involved in the "All In Texas" show in some form. The report noted that AEW initially hoped Allin would be ready by the Owen Hart Cup, but that didn't happen. Allin spent several months on the shelf recovering from a foot injury before he climbed Mount Everest. The report mentioned that Allin walked away from the climb "relatively unscathed," and he's in good enough shape to return to the ring at any time. While fans have speculated that Allin will be involved in a run-in during the "All In Texas" main event between Jon Moxley and "Hangman" Adam Page, no creative plans have been revealed. Allin does have history with the Death Riders. During the "AEW Full Gear" event, Allin drove his car into the faction's getaway vehicle. The Death Riders are expected to assist Moxley in some way during his title defense against Page. Perhaps Allin will even the odds along with other members of the AEW locker room who have been targeted by the group.
