Following a 30-day break from dealing with Jax (and let’s be honest, we’ve only watched two episodes, and I already needed a breather), our story then shifts to Jesse’s residence. Here, Kristen and Luke visit for coffee. Luke confides in them that he suspects Michelle was unfaithful during their relationship, with her new boyfriend, Aaron. What proof does he have? It turns out, Aaron’s brand of honey appeared at his house two years ago. Much like Derek Jeter, it seems he bestows gift baskets on the women he romances.

It appears that Syril has moved up (or been assigned, as his mother might say?) to lead the Ghorman field office for his bureau, which some call “counting spiders” (as Eedy does). He’s reached out by the Ghorman Front and attends one of their secret gatherings. There, he discovers their anti-Empire movement and strategies to resist in some manner. Given Syril’s uneasy demeanor throughout much of the previous season, it’s surprising to see him not only maintaining composure but also showing open support for this group of unfamiliar anti-Empire advocates.

In the series “Nine Perfect Strangers” season one, Nicole Kidman portrays Masha Dmitrichenko, a secretive Russian spiritual leader who conducts exclusive ‘wellness’ retreats for affluent individuals, often starring renowned actors. At these retreats, she employs unconventional methods to assist participants in overcoming emotional wounds, which include administering psychedelics and leading unusual exercises. While marketed as a sanctuary, the retreat subtly traps attendees, and her techniques border on psychological manipulation. As we discovered in season one, Masha has weaknesses that can be exploited, causing her to relocate her California wellness center to the Alps for season two.

Marvel asserts that the data they’re refusing to disclose during discovery is “especially confidential” since it pertains to the creation of a character within an ongoing film series – in other words, they don’t want any Marvel-related spoilers about Deadpool or his associates to be accidentally exposed through the legal process. This seems like a clever way for a studio known for its secrecy, surprise cameos, and post-credit scenes to justify their actions, as getting involved might compromise the unique charm that Marvel fans have come to expect from the brand. However, this argument appears slightly too convenient, given that a potential court case could potentially reveal a major spoiler for Marvel’s upcoming films. To be fair, Wayfarer is only interested in information about Nicepool, but it remains unclear whether they will actually be able to obtain it.

In this Broadway adaptation of the show “Smash”, Krysta Rodriguez is the sole carryover from the original series. She joined the cast during the second season in 2013, following her roles in Broadway productions like “Spring Awakening” and “The Addams Family”. On the series, she played Ana Vargas, Karen’s roommate and fellow “Hit List” co-star. The show was under intense scrutiny, making for a challenging experience. As Rodriguez puts it, “People were analyzing, criticizing, sometimes even bullying the show, and we had to be in the thick of it.” It wasn’t until after the show ended that she truly appreciated its devoted fanbase, which has endured ever since — even justifying a Broadway adaptation 12 years later. In this new version of “Smash”, Rodriguez transitions from “Hit List” to the “Bombshell” team. Notably, “Hit List” — a grittier counterpart to the more glamorous “Bombshell” — is absent in the stage show. Instead, Rodriguez portrays Tracy, one of “Bombshell’s” songwriters. This role is a new interpretation compared to the one Debra Messing played on the series, without the storylines of the botched adoption or affair with an actor, but there is one consistent detail: “I had to have a scarf!

2025 will mark the return of “Match Game” after a five-year hiatus since its previous run on ABC ended. This latest version of the FremantleMedia North America-owned franchise was hosted by Alec Baldwin in New York. The original format, which ABC is reviving, debuted in 1973 with Gene Rayburn as host and aired on CBS or in syndication until 1982. In the 1960s, there was another non-comedic version of “Match Game,” also hosted by Rayburn, that aired on CBS. Recent rumors suggest the series could make a comeback, with taping set to begin in Montreal next month.

Following the broadcast on April 27th, Goggins shared a backstage glimpse of the “Turn the Other Cheek” recording on Instagram. Remarkably, this behind-the-scenes peek could potentially surpass the scene itself. In a soundproof booth, embodying Uncle Baby Billy with his Method acting, Goggins delivers a rhythmic performance that includes a bit of breakdancing and ingenious improvisations like “Let’s go!” and “Shhhh!”. Due to his recent captivating portrayal in The White Lotus, the actor has been trending in memes. However, with this video, he aims to forever etch himself into meme folklore. Frankly, words fall short; just watch it to truly appreciate it.

The promotion of the movie “Thunderbolts,” helmed by Jake Schreier under Beef’s direction, has given off an air of anxious eagerness due to its association with A24. However, the studio appears to be hinting that this film, compared to the MCU standards, boasts a rich ensemble of character actors, and this isn’t an inaccurate assessment. Sebastian Stan, reprising his role as Bucky Barnes, exudes an unprecedented sharpness here. While Barnes may seem an unusual classification for a century-old, brainwashed super soldier and one of the last remaining ties to the franchise’s first phase, it holds true.

In “Thunderbolts,” Barnes assumes a fresh role as a congressman, working to expose the corruption of power-hungry CIA director Valentina Allegra de Fontaine (portrayed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, channeling her Selina Meyer persona as a supervillain). Barnes seems out of place as a politician, grappling with the intricacies of the impeachment process rather than resorting to super soldier serum-induced violence. He appears confused and exasperated by a system that demands evidence while his target consistently obfuscates it.

In his kitchen, eating takeout while his cybernetic arm is being cleaned in the dishwasher, Barnes doesn’t embody a forced hero struggling to fit in with normality, but rather a relatable figure questioning what it means to act righteously in everyday life.
