Tilda Gets Political

Developed by Jason Keller, who is also a co-writer of “Ford v Ferrari,” this series centers around Wilson as Pryce Cahill, a once-promising professional golfer whose career came to an abrupt end 20 years ago. Following the breakdown of his marriage and job loss at an Indiana sports store, Pryce pins his hopes on a talented but troubled teenager named Santi (played by Peter Dager). Apple characterizes this series as a “warm-hearted, uplifting comedy” that explores the unique bonds and relationships within the world of golf like never before.

In this movie, Robert De Niro portrays George Mullen, a retired U.S. president who takes on an investigation. During one intense scene, the characters De Niro and Stevens find themselves almost touching noses as Mullen interrogates Green. According to Stevens in a recent interview for “Just for EbMaster” podcast, this confrontation was particularly effective because Mullen, a towering figure in the story until now, is suddenly standing before De Niro. It added an element of excitement to the interaction. The meeting, although not overly friendly, was exactly what one might expect – a touch of apprehension as Stevens felt somewhat intimidated by De Niro’s imposing presence.

Good Energy has introduced a “Climate Change Reality Check” rating system for contemporary movies, modeled after the well-known Bechdel-Wallace Test that examines female representation in films and TV shows. This new evaluation tool focuses on scripted movies and series, checking them against two primary aspects: Does the plot acknowledge climate change as an issue, and does it feature at least one character who is conscious of climate change. The test was jointly developed by Good Energy and Matthew Schneider-Mayerson, a professor of English and Environmental Studies at Rice University.

To EbMaster, I had confidently believed that I’d destroyed the tape, but apparently not. Silence followed my statement, and as time passed with the project evolving, I assumed it wasn’t meant to happen. It was only later on that I discovered Russell, renowned for his work in ‘Beef’ and ‘The Bear’, never actually watched my recording.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve got to say that “Zero Day,” directed by Lesli Linka Glatter, who’s famous for “Love & Death,” and created by Eric Newman of “Narcos” fame, along with journalists Noah Oppenheim and Michael S. Schmidt, has some big names attached. However, it’s important to note that there have been allegations against Oppenheim regarding blocking reporting on Harvey Weinstein, which he denies. But what really caught the attention of the two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro, at an impressive 81 years old and taking on his first series lead role, was this very project. It’s quite intriguing, yet unfortunate that a show that, spanning six episodes, manages to be both sluggish and hurried at the same time, is what attracted such a talented actor like De Niro to the small screen.
