Matlock Recap: Brace for Impact

However, the paradox in Matty’s conversation with Joplin is that it’s actually a strategy: an attempt to get near a woman who could potentially provide crucial information for Jacobson-Moore’s current case. Meanwhile, Olympia’s legal team is defending Tranquil Pines, a nursing home under lawsuit by the Higgins family, claiming negligence led to Walter Higgins’ stroke death. Matty’s objective is to extract valuable details from the residents by empathizing with them, fellow seniors. This leads her to discuss topics like free love and rock ‘n’ roll with Lucille, Walter’s partner.

The Traitors Recap: Bugging Out

As a die-hard film enthusiast, I must admit, it’s unimaginable for the producers to allow such a turn of events. So, when morning rolls around, one less confidant is part of our group, and unfortunately, not Ivar, despite Gabby engaging in a conversation about him without even noticing his presence at the table with her. To be fair, I too tend to overlook Ivar occasionally. Perhaps this incident will serve as a wake-up call for him and make him more captivating from now on.

The table gradually fills up, leaving us with Derrick or Dylan, and in the end, it’s Derrick who falls victim to the Traitors. This startling revelation leaves Danielle in tears at the table. In a flashback to their decision-making process, we see that Danielle was reluctant to take Derrick’s life and agreed only as a means of reconciliation with her fellow traitors. They pledged a fresh start, which they’ve done countless times this season. Yet, who knows? Maybe this time, things will be different! (Spoiler alert: they won’t).

There’s a Purple Rain Check on Netflix’s Prince Documentary

For over five years, Edelman labored on the documentary, as stated by the New York Times in a feature about the project. The rights to the final version of the documentary belonged to both Edelman and Netflix, but they allowed the estate to check it for “factual accuracy.” It appears that Netflix relied on the estate and their archive to complete the documentary, since, according to the same report, there was very little unscripted or personal footage in the archive that the filmmakers could access. Last year, Variety reported claims from an insider that the documentary contained “dramatic” factual inaccuracies.

Southern Charm Recap: Burnt Sienna

However, things seem to be taking a turn for the worse. Salley and Taylor are barely featured throughout the episode, with Taylor merely cleaning her house at the start, while poor Molly gets a single scene where she’s modeling for a Charleston purse brand in a swimming pool. It’s evident that Molly didn’t receive any payment for this job. As Molly herself acknowledges, there’s hardly any work for models in Charleston, making it more of a charming daydream than a realistic possibility.

So Many Lawsuits, So Little to Gain

The case of Baldoni vs Lively, a legal dispute between well-known figures from Instagram and the silver screen, has garnered significant attention this summer. Instead of choosing to disconnect on social media, they have opted for a public court battle that appears to be an ugly confrontation, reminiscent of the complex, twisted, and abusive narratives found in Colleen Hoover’s works such as “It Ends With Us.” The intrigue surrounding this feud stems not only from the popularity of their movie but also from its parallels with the themes portrayed in the film: secrets, abuse, and unpleasantness. The question arises whether those who invested money to watch the movie in cinemas would want to see one of its stars face jail time for alleged lies.

None of This Had to Happen

In a different world, this year’s groundbreaking Oscar nominations would have dominated the news. For the first time, a trans woman, Gascón (who is Spanish and not Latina), has been nominated for Best Actress. Additionally, an unprecedented four actors of Latin American origin – Colman Domingo, Fernanda Torres, Zoe Saldaña, and Monica Barbaro – have all received acting nominations in the same year. To give you some context: Throughout Academy history, less than 2% of all Oscar nominees have been Latina or Hispanic, as reported by the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative.

Are You Ready for Some Tubi?

To begin with, instead of falsely claiming to seize control of the game, Tubi will broadcast all of Fox Sports’ live coverage of the Super Bowl in stunning 4K quality, without requiring a cable login or credit card (since, as with everything else on Tubi, the game will be free). This is not an alternate version like ESPN’s ManningCast or the child-friendly broadcast Nickelodeon provided last year: viewers on Tubi will watch the same Super Bowl LIX telecast as those watching on Fox through cable or antenna, minus the local advertisements. Additionally, Tubi will stream the Spanish-language broadcast of the game that airs on Fox Deportes.

No One Is Doing It Like Morris Chestnut

Initially, he drew me in with his impressive debut performance in John Singleton’s 1991 drama “Boyz n the Hood.” Later, he starred as Lance Sullivan in the 1999 launch of the “The Best Man” series. If the character – a former playboy with sudden concerns about his fiancée’s purity – had been portrayed by anyone less charismatic and captivating on screen, it would have fallen apart. Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, he appeared in numerous television roles such as “Nurse Jackie,” “ER,” “The Resident,” “Rosewood.” However, I often find myself revisiting his role in the 2001 film “Two Can Play That Game,” a romantic comedy about a war between the sexes starring Vivica A. Fox as a successful professional woman who breaks the fourth wall to comment on men’s tricks and how to counter them.

Kinda Pregnant Is Kinda Boring

In the humorous and somewhat monotonous film “Kinda Pregnant,” Lainy’s anxiety about pregnancy serves as the main theme. As her personal life crumbles, her friend Kate (Jillian Bell) and her partner Mark (Joel David Moore) reveal their pregnancy, followed by Shirley’s announcement of her own pregnancy. It seems everyone is growing up except for Lainy, who finds herself in the company of the school’s profane and vaping counselor, Fallon (Urzila Carlson). In a bout of morbid curiosity during a shopping trip with Kate for maternity clothes, Lainy tries on a mock belly at one of the stores, only to have the sales assistant mistakenly believe she is genuinely pregnant. Lainy finds being ‘pregnant,’ even if it’s fake, quite appealing – people are always helping her and complimenting her looks. She wonders whether this temporary pregnancy could be a beneficial trick to help regain control of her life while things get sorted out.

The Traitors Are So Screwed

Has the group known as “The Traitors” in “The Traitors” series ever been in such a dire state? Despite numerous near-misses, slip-ups, and schemes backfiring, nothing has appeared as precarious as their current predicament as we edge towards the midpoint of season three. Consider them for induction into the Reality TV Hall of Fame under the category of “The Worst Team Ever Assembled.
