Get ready to meet Rizo Velovic, or as he prefers, ‘RizGod’! The season 49 premiere of *Survivor* was a solid start, introducing all the players, clearly outlining who would be eliminated first, and hinting at the forming alliances. But it will probably be most remembered for introducing Rizo. He’s a determined, energetic guy from Yonkers who works in tech sales. He managed to win a challenge through sheer persistence, earning a spotlight moment. Rizo, who embraces the nickname ‘RizGod’ (a playful take on having a lot of charisma), is a cheerful and somewhat quirky person. While his self-proclaimed nickname and meme-inspired humor could be irritating, his infectious enthusiasm and willingness to bend the rules actually won viewers over, making it easy to root for him despite the name.

I first heard about Jaglom through Peter Bogdanovich – apparently, Bogdanovich wanted him to be in his film *Targets*, but ended up taking the role himself! Once Jaglom got to Los Angeles, though, he quickly fell in with the exciting new wave of filmmakers coming out of Roger Corman’s studio. He became really good friends with Jack Nicholson and even helped edit *Easy Rider*! From there, Jaglom decided to forge his own path as a writer and director, and he made some fantastic films with a lot of those same New Hollywood stars, like Dennis Hopper, Karen Black, and of course, Nicholson.

HBO Max took down two animated DC episodes from a section dedicated to DC content. The streaming service has been the main hub for a large collection of DC shows and movies, covering many years of the comic book universe. Although content on streaming services often changes, recent statements by DC Studios co-head James Gunn led to these specific removals.
