Rosebud Baker: The Mother Lode 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The Mother Lode, the second comedy special from SNL writer, actress, and comedian Rosebud Baker, will premiere globally on Netflix on February 18.

Taped months apart over two sold-out nights at New York City’s Comedy Cellar, the special shows Baker before and after giving birth. With the juxtaposition of these experiences, she discusses how to navigate the unknown in the evolutionary journey of parenthood, delving into the decision to have children, the indignities of childbirth, the pros and cons of losing your identity in motherhood, the generational divides of parenting, as well as coming to the difficult decision to retire from giving head, and more.

Star: Rosebud Baker

The Mother Lode marks the directorial debut of Baker, who performs her own material and also served as a producer, with Alex Goodman and Jason Katz serving as executive producers.

If you have kids, this special is for you. If you don’t want kids at all, this special is for you, too.”

Baker notes that there are “a lot of people in the world going through infertility, miscarriages, IVF, pregnancy, and postpartum,” and shares, “I’ve been through it all, and I wanted to make a special that would make anyone going through those experiences laugh as much as I needed to while I was going through them. We filmed for two years because I wanted to tell the full story, to include what the other side of pregnancy is like; and I needed to live it so I could tell jokes about it. My biggest hope is that it makes everyone laugh. It would be nice if it made them feel less alone, too.”

Baker is currently writing the 50th season of Saturday Night Live. Her critically acclaimed first hour, Whiskey Fists, produced by Bill Burr’s All Things Comedy, premiered on Comedy Central’s YouTube channel in 2021. In addition to SNL, she has written for two WGA Award-nominated sketch series: That Damn Michael Che and Inside Amy Schumer. She plays the recurring role of Meri on Hulu’s Life & Beth, alongside Schumer and Michael Cera, and also appears in the upcoming horror comedy Hell of a Summer, directed by Finn Wolfhard and Billy Bryk.

Baker is repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners, UTA for touring, CAA and Schreck Rose Dapello.

Heated Rivalry 2025 Tv Series Review Trailer Poster

Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney wrote and directed the six-part series about two rising hockey stars who fall passionately in love. Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin entered the NHL in 2005. For more than 20 years, the Canadian star and his Russian counterpart have waged one of the greatest rivalries in the sport. They've won titles, medals, and scoring crowns, and both are still playing (with the same franchises that drafted them), having earned their place among hockey's all-time elite. Creator: Jacob Tierney Stars: Hudson Williams, Connor Storrie, Callan Potter That's the underlying premise at the heart of HBO Max and Crave's new six-part romantic drama, Heated Rivalry, based on the book by Rachel Reid and written and directed by Letterkenny veteran Jacob Tierney. Don't expect many direct similarities to Letterkenny, though. Heated Rivalry may have some comedic elements, as relationships between passionate men are often entertaining, but it's a sincere a...

Dhurandhar 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

Dhurandhar's story unfolds against the backdrop of significant terrorist attacks in India, focusing particularly on harrowing incidents such as the hijacking of flight IC-814 in Kandahar in 1999, the Parliament attack in 2001, and the devastating 26/11 Mumbai attacks in 2008.

Kantara A Legend: Chapter 1 2025 Movie Review Trailer Poster

The ending of Kantara: Chapter 1 returns us to the original film, a sequence in which young Shiva wonders what happened to the well that physically existed there many years ago, when the Naga tribe lived in harmony with nature, only to be forced to endure the invasion and destruction of the land they were supposed to protect. The film is a winding tale of three cultures, two of which seem to drive the story about class and greed similarly to the original film; however, the third element is the Kadapa tribe, a people who seek to appropriate the power of the deities for themselves rather than worship them. At its core, it's a film about unity. It's about bringing people together to merge tradition with contemporary ideology. Kantara: Chapter 1 takes us directly into the heart of the Bangra Kingdom, a prosperous state with trade and all modern amenities, but with a powerful and greedy king. Director: Rishab Shetty Writers: Rishab Shetty, Anirudh Mahesh, Shanil Guru Stars: Rishab ...
