‘Margo’s Got Money Troubles’ Review: Elle Fanning and Star-Studded Cast Delight in Quirky Book Adaptation

Elle Fanning in “Margo’s Got Money Troubles" (Apple TV+) Apple TV’s “Margo’s Got Money Troubles” isn’t unpredictable because it’s slightly irreverent. It’s not unpredictable because it’s a comedy and a drama, and dramedies skew that way. Nope, it’s unpredictable because this quirky, offbeat series, based on the book of the same name by Rufi Thorpe, is about love in all its many forms. In this case, you might say love is actually the spoiler alert.

'Diarra From Detroit' | Mystery Comedy | Paramount+ (BET+ Original Series)

By Diedre Johnson 
| AVS Forum
Filmed in ...New Jersey. I love watching Detroit shows not filmed in Detroit just to see what they get wrong... mountains in the background, signs for business chains that don't have Michigan locations... streets with steep inclines filled with foreign cars... Having spent much of my life in Detroit, it always irks me that they don't film much outside of "Transformers," there.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Proofreading for a boating publication in Marina del Rey, CA.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

In university, we had to do drills on old, old typewriters. I think it was more about type speed and thinking on your feet.

How is social media changing news?

It's of course getting it there faster and it's giving tips that can be developed.
