Susanne Sulby, a dialect coach with experience on films like *Silver Linings Playbook* and *21 Bridges*, is helping the actors perfect their accents for both of Ingelsby’s HBO shows. As an actress herself, Sulby doesn’t just focus on *how* words are pronounced. She looks at the physical mechanics of speaking, carefully analyzing things like mouth movements. “I listen to how actors open their mouths,” she explains, “and might ask them to focus on the space between their tongue and the roof of their mouth.” Because she’s from Pennsylvania, Sulby also helps actors capture the feeling and cultural context behind the accent – the history, the character, and the sense of place it evokes.

That initially sounds like a serious claim. Violating a fiduciary duty is usually something you’d see in a major business scandal or during a company takeover. However, when you consider it in relation to Kimmel, the argument quickly falls apart and doesn’t hold up to even basic examination.

Before that happens, the show visits Anne, who is traveling around Ireland and has arrived in County Galway. While the landscape is beautiful, the locals seem unhappy and unwelcoming. She’s in Cloonboo, a town deeply affected by the Great Famine of 1845-1852. Her driver explains that the people who still live there either survived the famine or emigrated to Boston. Concerned about potential hostility towards a member of a prominent and wealthy family, the driver assigns Anne two bodyguards. Most residents of Cloonboo don’t speak English, but luckily, at least one person there does.

Reports surfaced from TMZ that William Shatner was hospitalized after a health scare, leading many to worry given his recent battle with stage 4 melanoma. However, his representative, Harry Gold, quickly explained that Shatner experienced low blood sugar and proactively called for medical assistance. He’s now home and doing well, according to his rep.

Let’s quickly discuss the recent conversation around Taylor Swift’s accent before diving into the study’s results. When Taylor Swift first became famous in the early 2000s, she was presented as a country singer from Tennessee. However, she was actually born in Pennsylvania and moved to Nashville at age 13 to pursue a music career. This TikTok effectively demonstrates how her voice has evolved over time.

Okay, so everyone gathers to hear old Benjamin Guinness’s will being read, and it starts off pretty standard, but then things get interesting! He left over a million pounds – which, the movie helpfully points out, is like £162 million now! – and a *lot* more land than anyone realized. Predictably, Arthur gets the brewery, but here’s the twist: Edward gets it too! They both have to *keep* running the brewery if they want to keep their inheritance. Anne doesn’t get much, since she’s married. And young Benjamin? Well, his dad decided it was best not to give him a ton of money, figuring it would be too much temptation. He’ll get a small allowance, though.

The first episode, titled “Prescription for Death,” originally aired on NBC on September 13, 1990. It began with a young woman’s death in the emergency room, leading her father to believe the doctors were responsible. Detectives Max Greevey and Mike Logan, working under Captain Don Cragen, initially investigated the case before handing it over to Executive Assistant District Attorney Ben Stone, Assistant District Attorney Paul Robinette, and District Attorney Adam Schiff.

Two opposing crowds will be present when Benjamin Guinness’s coffin leaves the brewery. On one side are members of the Temperance movement, who strongly disapproved of the Guinness family. On the other side are the Fenians, a radical group fighting for Irish independence. While Guinness was famous for his beer, he was also a supporter of British rule and a Protestant, making him a target for the Fenians. As one Fenian activist, Patrick Cochrane, explains, Guinness’s business contributed to the suffering of the Irish people under British control, so a peaceful burial isn’t possible. Luckily, Sean Rafferty, a resourceful man who often helps the Guinness family, has a plan. He suggests that Guinness’s workers should arm themselves and escort the coffin through the streets to ensure a burial can take place.

This season of The Golden Bachelor is already proving to be dramatic! Gerry, the Bachelor, quickly found himself in hot water after making some questionable comments on a podcast. He stated his preference for women aged 45-60, but added he didn’t want anyone with artificial hips or wigs. It was a shocking statement, especially considering the show’s premise! The clip of him saying this is presented like a serious offense. If it turns out he’s been sending inappropriate texts, many viewers, including myself, will stop watching. The big question this season is whether Gerry can regain the trust of the women after essentially expressing ageist preferences.

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.
