GLOW

In 1980s-era Los Angeles, struggling actress Ruth Wilder (Alison Brie) is just looking for a role, any role. Casting directors call her in to audition for secretaries and wronged wives, but she has little success. That is, until the day she gets a call for an unconventional project. As she soon discovers, abrasive director-coach Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron) has been tasked with creating an all-women professional wrestling league -- GLOW, an acronym that stands for "Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling." He doesn't want Ruth to read lines -- he wants to see how fiercely and theatrically she can face off with rivals such as fierce warrior Cherry Bang (Sydelle Noel), pro-wrestling heir Carmen (Britney Young), and, most fearsome of all, Ruth's best-friend-turned-rival Debbie Egan (Betty Gilpin). Is this a chance for stardom for Ruth and her misfit league? Or will this job land them all in the hospital?
