The Love Is BlindSeason 5reunion may not have been live, but the drama was delivered right on time.
So, what did we learn when the pod squad got back together for the first time? Well, Izzy has no problem kissing and telling, as he admits to smooching both his ex-fiancé Stacy and ex-pod flame Johnie post-filming. Jp (and his American flag socks) doesn’t give Taylor the closure she’s been looking for, and she leaves with even more questions about their makeup-fueled breakup. Lydia and Aaliyah, meanwhile, finally come face-to-face to address their unprecedented love triangle with Uche, who chose not to attend the reunion. And, while Lydia is in the hot seat over how she joined the experiment, Milton readily comes to his wife’s defense — and, of course, drops some 24-year-old wisdom in the process. And then there’s Chris, who shocks just about everybody, including co-hosts...

Big Pharma has invested big money in the organizations planning what a Maga policy agenda will look like in a new Trump administration. Not surprisingly, that policy playbook contains a major gift for the drug industry: a swift end to the Biden administration’s landmark program to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices.
For two decades, Congress barred Medicare from negotiating prescription drug prices, which is a major reason why Americans pay higher prices for drugs than anyone else in the world. In 2022, Democrats finally passed legislation creating a price negotiation pilot program.

The new Ben Kingsley movie is a pleasant surprise. Jules is perfectly sentimental and punctuated with a sci-fi twist that makes it engaging and unique but still poignant. Jules film follows Milton, a young, sorry-looking old man who lives by himself. Milton’s small town in Pennsylvania has a slogan that he doesn’t quite approve of because it sounds like you can call the town with a phone rather than just “call” it home. Milton’s second big issue with the town is that the crossing to his home is an accident-prone area, and the council should do something to fix that. Weekly, the townspeople meet, and Milton repeats himself at the council meetings about these two major issues. You see, Milton doesn’t really have anything else to keep him busy. His daughter’s a vet with no time to spend with him, and he’s estranged from his son.

As if all the alien talk in the real world wasn’t enough, Mark Turtletaub’s Jules is going to make you want to have a little alien crash into your own backyard. The independent film starring Ben Kingsley, Jane Curtin, and Harriet Sansom Harris in pivotal roles is one that touches upon some difficult themes in a rather amusing manner. There are many moments of genuine, jaw-splitting laughter in this film that came as a complete surprise to me. Of course, without the Hollywood pomp and glamour, nobody would’ve heard about this little indie, but this film is better than many extraterrestrial experiments. Most importantly, even with such an extraordinary premise, it’s a very ordinary tale of loneliness and aging.
Jules follows an old man named Milton from a small town. Every week during the council meetings, Milton makes the same suggestions regarding the town slogan and...

Writer Stefani Robinson is an admitted overachiever. In 2016, on the strength of a spec script, “Lola and the Afterlife,” about the ghost of dead girl stuck in limbo in Boston, she landed a meeting with Donald Glover on FX series “Atlanta” and was promptly hired for the Season 1 writer’s room. The day before she turned up for work, she had been grabbing coffee as an agent’s assistant.
She was the youngest member and only woman in the writers room, joining a team who already knew each other. But it was Robinson who landed a writing Emmy nomination for Season 1; the show took home two WGA awards. While she continued on “Atlanta” until the 2022 Season 4 finale, executive producer Paul Simms also took her with him to co-showrun 2019 TV series “What We Do in the Shadows,” based on the quirky vampire film by Jermaine Clement and Taika Waititi.

The best episodes of CSI are the ones where the criminologists get emotionally involved in the case.
That was certainly the case on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 17, written by CSI creator Anthony Zuiker.
As the mother of an only child, Maxine couldn't help but get pulled into solving this 41-year-old murder.
The storyline was timely, as, thanks to global climate change, bodies of water are starting to give up their dead.
What a perfect opportunity to tackle a cold case!
But if the victim had been just another Vegas thug, it wouldn't have resonated like finding a young Jane Doe in a barrel. The mob has long taken advantage of the Nevada environment for stashing bodies.
The CSIs can toil in obscurity when investigating many of their cases. The public often doesn't care.

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers.
The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 23
It’s hard to believe that The Walking Dead is almost over. Robert Kirkman’s comic book was designed to be a zombie movie that never ends, and even that came to an end eventually. With 11 seasons and 177 episodes (with next week’s series finale), The Walking Dead as a television property wasn’t endless, but it was as close as an expensive, hour-long cable drama can get, which is a testament both to the staying power of the cast and crew and the dedication of fans. It’s not drawing 17 million eyeballs an episode anymore, but the show remains one of the most popular shows on cable and draws almost double the ratings of anything on The CW. It’s not going out on top by any means, but it’s going out well before it could,...

The whiplash-inducing rise and fall of American businessman Trevor Milton will be the subject of a new scripted project from Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions, the Wall Street Journal and Story Force Entertainment.
The project — currently exploring both feature and series adaptations — is based on WSJ’s popular “Bad Bets” podcast franchise, which is currently airing a series subtitled “The Unraveling of Trevor Milton.” It follows the former Mormon missionary-turned-founder of electric vehicle startup Nikola Motor Company, whose misdoings were exposed by Wall Street outsiders and a ragtag team of whistleblowers. The story gripped listeners who witnessed in real time Milton’s recent convictions for securities and wire fraud. The adaptation will share narrative qualities with the Oscar-winning “The Big Short,” filmmakers added.
