A lot of time has passed since Emma Stone and Jonah Hill (looking strikingly sharp, by the way) shared the screen in Superbad. A decade after the coming-of-age teen comedy impacted pop culture, the 2 actors are united once more, this time for something a little different... Maniac, a black comedy produced by Netflix, will introduce Stone and Hill in a Black Mirror-like universe (although, there will definitely be some humor) as 2 strangers who start a relationship after becoming aware of a suspicious turn of events during the pharmaceutical trial they're participating in.

But in the light of recent contentious political statements made by its star, comedian Roseanne Barr, not all members of the industry, or even the…
