Craig Mazin reveals new updates about his show ‘The Last of Us’

Hollywood filmmaker Craig Mazin, who is known for ‘Chernobyl’, ‘Scary Movie’ franchise and others, has shed light on the transformation of the relationship of the lead pair of his show ‘The Last of Us’. The second season of the show, which is set to release next week, dives deeper into the complexities of the relationship of the lead characters of Joel and Ellie. He said, “When we meet Joel and Ellie this season, five years have gone by, which in and of itself implies that things must have been going pretty well. They’re still alive. They live in Jackson. And even between the two of them, things must have been going well. You can’t exist in a state of conflict with somebody like that for five straight years. It’s not possible”.

What I’ve learned from Canadian music fans on my cross-country speaking tour – National

I’ve spent a chunk of 2025 out on the road doing sold-out speaking engagements, covering (so far) Victoria and Nanaimo, B.C., to Ottawa. Fredericton, N.B., Halifax, Toronto and Whitby, Ont., are coming up before the end of the month (only Fredericton still has tickets) and there’s talk of doing something in Quebec in more points east in the fall. I call these talks “salons,” an opportunity for like-minded music fans to gather to discuss what’s on their mind when it comes to the current state of music, the industry, radio, technology and more. I also find them very useful because I spend most of my time in a soundproof room talking to myself with absolutely no idea if anything I do and say has any impact on the public. Like I tell audiences, there’s nothing like having a room full of strang...
