Marsha Stephanie Blake has accomplished quite a bit over the years. She’s got a significant number of stage productions to her name, she’s worked with an incredible line-up of directors including Ava DuVernay and Steven Soderbergh, and she also scored an Emmy nomination for her performance in Now They See Us. Even with all of those accomplishments and all of that experience under her belt, was she prepared to shoot an episode of television all on her own? Somewhat!
Social Distance is a new Netflix anthology series shot entirely in lockdown. Each episode features a different group of characters and shows how the COVID-19 pandemic rattled their day-to-day. In Blake’s episode, “And we could all together/Go out on the ocean,” Danielle Brooks plays Imani, a caregiver who continues to look after her client during the pandemic while also trying to care for her young daughter back at home. Meanwhile, her client’s daughter, Marion (Blake), is busy trying to juggle calls from Imani and adjust to teaching her college courses over Zoom.
Hear all about what it took to film that episode, going to college with David Harbour, doing Othello with Daniel Craig, why Blake is in awe of Ava DuVernay, and so much more in this edition of Collider Ladies Night!

Rachael Leigh Cook was one of my absolute favorites growing up. The Baby-Sitters Club, All I Wanna Do and She’s All That were basically on repeat in my house. As thrilled as I was to get to revisit memories from those productions during this edition of Collider Ladies Nights, one of the greatest joys of this conversation with Cook for her new Netflix release, Love, Guaranteed, was hearing about what Cook learned from all of those experiences and how it all landed her in a place where she has a degree of control over the content she’s making.Check out this edition of Collider Ladies Night to hear all about how Cook's collaboration with Crown Media and The Hallmark Channel wound up being a game changer, what it was like working on the “This Is Your Brain on Drugs” PSAs, a key conversation she had with The Baby-Sitters Club director Melanie Mayron, how her audition for Can’t Hardly Wait paved the way to Josie and the Pussycats, and so much more.

Mary Mouser has built up quite the resume over the years, but there’s no denying that Cobra Kai is a special one. Not only is the show a phenomenal continuation of the classic Karate Kid film, but it’s also a series that’s amassed quite the fanbase over the course of its two-season run on YouTube. The Cobra Kai fandom is a mighty passionate group and I’ve got a very good feeling that fandom is going to get even bigger courtesy of the shift to Netflix. Mouser steps in as Samantha LaRusso, Daniel La Russo’s (Ralph Macchio) daughter. Dad did teach her a thing or two about karate when Samantha was young, but as a teenager, she got a bit distracted by the high school social scene. However, when Sam falls for Johnny Lawrence’s (William Zabka) star student at the revived Cobra Kai, she finds herself being drawn back into the world of competitive karate.With Cobra Kai Seasons 1 and 2 hitting Netflix on August 28th, Mouser took the time to join us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to talk about her journey from being Abigail Breslin's photo double on the movie Signs to joining the Karate Kid franchise!
