This is one to keep an eye on when it premiers March 1 on HBO. It stars Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini, but more importantly, it comes from writer and creator, Steve Conrad who is also the mind behind the fantastic Patriot as well as my favorite Perpetual Grace Ltd.

Originally, the film would jump ahead to the 1980s for its ending, with Marty having made the shoe store he works at in the beginning of the film into a massively successful franchise. Now a rich man (but not a ping pong legend like he imagined), Marty would take his granddaughter to a Tears for Fears concert in 1987, reflecting on his life as they performed “Everybody Wants to Rule the World.” He would then run into O’Leary’s Milton Rockwell for a final time.
Honestly, I’d be fine with this. If you were to drop two or three little, tiny hints throughout that there were a bit of a surreal nature to this story, it’d be fun. Although, the wackiness from just the above probably would’ve been enough to take Timmy out of Oscar contention.

“This is not the first time that Ye has tried to apologize. In December 2023, he posted a brief apology on Instagram, written in Hebrew and directed to “the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions.” People questioned the timing; his album Vultures 1 was about to be released in February. “I regret and am deeply mortified by my actions in that state, and am committed to accountability, treatment, and meaningful change,” he wrote, asserting that he is “not antisemitic.””
I used to be one of the biggest Kanye fans growing up outside of Chicago just as he started to take off with The Workout Plan and Jesus Walks. I still think MBDTF is probably the greatest hip-hop album ever made, but I haven’t listened to a single song from him since 2019. An apology right before a new album drops means absolutely nothing to me. I’ll check back in in three years and see if he’s actually putting his money where his mouth is or if he goes off the rails again. And I get the brain trauma stuff, but the shit he did—and the people around him who enabled him—does not deserve anyone’s forgiveness. Not a chance in hell I’m putting a penny in his pocket.

Dude has six super bowls as a head coach and two as a defensive coordinator. I hate the Patriots dynasty as much as the next guy (so help me god it doesn’t happen again…), but what else do you need to do to get into the HoF?!
