Three neighborhoods you don’t want to move into include Gracie Gillam’s host from hell (Superhost), Taryn Manning’s super racist white lady (Karen) and Pat Healy’s unhinged father in a lockdown crisis (We Need To Do Something). “Influencer Cinema” gets in their hits this week with Victoria Justice dying with some unfinished personal business (Afterlife of the Party), one pop singer, Matsumi, discovering her destiny (Yakuza Princess) and another, Camila Cabello, making her debut in the jukebox musical version of a classic story (Cinderella).
