As a movie buff, let me share an interesting tidbit: Last week, there was talk about Elon Musk appearing on The Daily Show. Now, I’m not going to speculate if it’s a genuine plan or just empty promises (here’s hoping it’s the latter!). Instead, let’s rewind to 2018 when another late-night host faced off with a political figure – Jimmy Kimmel playing basketball against Ted Cruz. Guess who lost? Yep, it was quite a dud on television! So, let’s avoid repeating this mistake. After all, every interaction should be constructive, and there’s no need to boost the profiles of such controversial figures. As the saying goes, those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. For more about Elon Musk, check out the fourth item on this list.

In the world of Yellowjackets, it seems that karma may not play a significant role in the trial of Coach Ben Scott, as demonstrated by the girls’ decision to accuse him of arson – a crime he apparently did not commit. It is essential to recall that without Ben, this group may not have survived at all. He was instrumental in teaching them crucial skills such as shooting guns, setting traps for animals, and even how to butcher and field dress animals, skills which were vital for their survival (including Shauna). If not for Ben’s guidance, it is likely that these girls – along with Travis – would have perished long ago.

Currently, the Oscars resemble an aging movie series that, despite various attempts and innovative strategies, struggles to regain its former blockbuster success at the box office.

However, it’s worth noting that while we’re gearing up for some heartwarming scenes, there will still be a dash of tension in this upcoming set of episodes. This week, Lauren and Dave are finally parting ways, and the single pod members have their own share of issues to deal with. Meanwhile, our engaged couples are having crucial last-minute discussions. Given that we’ve got four couples to cover next week, we’re delving into Ben and Sara’s wedding preparations a bit early. So, let’s dive right in!

Spoilers follow for Severance season two episode seven, “Chikhai Bardo.”

In the interview, Costner shared that Gene was the finest actor he’s collaborated with. This conversation took place during a disagreement between Costner and a director about their positions in a particular scene. As they were leaving the MGM studio, Hackman walked up to Costner, who thought he was going to receive criticism from the veteran star. However, instead of reprimanding him, Hackman said, “Hey, I’ve recently gone through a divorce and have been involved in some less-than-stellar projects. Watching you stand up for what you believe in today brought back memories of my passion for acting. Well done.” And with that, Hackman got into his car and drove away.

This show, named “Severance,” excels in two key areas: evoking authentic emotions and leading viewers into intricate mysteries. The episode I’m referring to as “the Gemma episode” is a captivating blend of visual and narrative elements that offers a glimpse behind the ominous elevator at Lumon, revealing their true activities. It also delves deeply into the concept of liminal spaces, both psychological and physical. If you found yourself searching for “bardos” or “Tolstoy” after the end credits, raise your hand – I’m right there with you! [Raises hand.]

As a movie enthusiast, I must admit that the plot would have been intriguing if not for the overbearing and instantaneous air of authority that Rivers carries around. It seems assumption is his preferred method of operation, as an investigator. Instead of delving into the circumstances surrounding Nathan Jordan’s (Larry Pine) demise, he jumps to conclusions, assuming that the wealthy real estate mogul was murdered by his wife-in-name, Helen (Victoria Clark), and her boyfriend, Dr. Jason Yamamoto (Phil Nee). In his mind, they must have collaborated to eliminate him for his fortune!

The latest adaptation of Matlock deviates from its original in numerous aspects. Unlike before, it incorporates an ongoing narrative alongside weekly cases, focusing less on traditional crime-solving procedures and more on office politics. However, similarities can be drawn to the original series when it comes to courtroom scenes. In this version, Olympia’s team employs a unique method of representing clients through feelings, intuition, and fortunate accidents. As I noted in my footnotes last week, “good lawyering” for these attorneys often means serendipitously discovering crucial evidence. It’s somewhat similar to the portrayal of skilled poker players in films, who always seem to draw the best cards.
