Andor Recap: Outside Agitators

In the year 2 BBY, the rebels have made significant strides, establishing the Yavin Rebel Base as their new home. My beloved rebel pair now reside amidst the trees, trading the bustling metropolis of Coruscant for a more tranquil environment where they can catch their breath. However, this communal and somewhat regimented lifestyle is bittersweet, tinged with Cassian’s physical pain from an off-screen mission injury sustained in the past year.

The return of Will, who seems to have distanced himself from Saw Gerrera’s fume-filled escapades, brings news from Luthen. It appears that Luthen is aware of Cassian’s injury and queries if he’s ready to resume work. Despite Luthen’s offer of a mission last time – which in the world of Andor is akin to giving someone a couples spa day – it’s clear that the bond between Luthen and Cassian has grown strained over the past year, with Luthen delving deeper into the Ghorman project with Will’s assistance.

When Will Sinners Come Knocking on VOD?

At the moment, the movie “Sinners” is up for pre-order but not for rental. Typically, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) releases their Premium Video On Demand (PVOD) premieres around a month after a film’s theater debut. For instance, one of WBD’s top earners from 2024, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”, hit theaters on September 6 and was available for PVOD viewing by October 8. Similar timelines were seen with “Dune: Part Two” and “Mickey 17”. So, given this pattern, it’s plausible that you might be able to watch “Sinners” at home as early as June.

The Canonization of Patrick Bateman

In this movie scene, Bateman’s meticulous morning routine is not meant to inspire but rather depict his character as empty and materialistic. However, if you browse social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, or Reddit, you’ll find numerous posts that mimic this routine, albeit with a focus on wellness instead of brutality. These men share their daily routines, sometimes even waking up before sunrise, to follow disciplined routines centered around health, grooming, and work. While the specific activities have changed over time, the essence remains the same. Bateman’s morning symbolized his superficial yuppie lifestyle, masking a violent personality. Yet, without its satirical context, it could be seen as an aesthetic portrayal of the grind-set culture. The only missing elements are advertisements for Bateman’s life coaching program and links to purchase his preferred products.

Film Unions React to Trump’s Foreign Film Tariff Plan

Although major film and TV unions didn’t openly support Trump’s statements, they shared the idea that more production should occur in the U.S. The union representing production workers, IATSE, issued a statement advocating for increased domestic filming while ensuring fairness towards Canadian productions. Matthew D. Loeb, International IATSE President, stated, “The U.S. requires a balanced federal policy to restore film and TV jobs.” He suggested that the Trump administration should implement a federal film production tax incentive and other domestic tax provisions to create a level playing field for American workers. IATSE is eagerly awaiting details about the proposed tariff plan, but they remain steadfast in their belief that any trade policy must not harm Canadian members or the industry as a whole. They are pushing for reciprocal trading practices that promote fair competition for all IATSE members.

Below Deck Down Under Recap: Thin Ice

I acknowledge that my comments might seem critical towards Nic, as I find the character he’s portraying lacks authenticity or artificiality, which are two extremes often seen in reality TV personalities. However, it should be noted that Nic and Marina make a sweet couple, and their affectionate moments this week were heartwarming, despite the ongoing boat drama. Marina appears to exhibit an impressive level of care-free attitude compared to Alesia and even Adair, as she navigates various situations with grace and poise, avoiding many potential conflicts. For instance, her reaction to Wihan leaving her was nonchalant, and she handled Lara’s attempts to undermine her yachting experience with ease. Overall, Marina is optimistic, cheerful, and deeply in love with Nic.

How Would Foreign-Movie Tariffs Even Work?

Trump has labeled the growing trend of film productions shifting from California to countries like the U.K., Australia, Canada, Hungary, and Romania, due to attractive tax incentives, as a “National Security Threat.” In a statement, he wrote, “The American film industry is rapidly declining. Foreign countries are enticing our filmmakers and studios away from the U.S. with various benefits. Many parts of the U.S., including Hollywood, are being severely impacted…Consequently, I am instructing the Department of Commerce and the United States Trade Representative to promptly initiate the procedure for imposing a 100% Tariff on any films produced overseas that are brought into our country. We want movies made in America once more!

To find answers to these questions, Fielder delves into Sullenberger’s memoir titled “Highest Duty.” He then immerses himself in a series of simulations, using the captain’s life experiences as a basis to gain a deeper understanding of him. This process takes us back to his infancy, resulting in an unforgettable scene where Fielder is seen dressed in diapers and acting like a baby, even being ‘fed’ by a giant puppet representing Sullenberger’s mother.
