@JackCarrUSA Done! Jack, if you haven’t watched Taylor’s interview on the @EmptyNettersPod from last year you must - it’s a great interview and he is hilarious

DARK WOLF Podcast Episode 1 with Taylor Kitsch, David DiGilio (showrunner) and Jared Shaw (Boozer) is live!  Find it via the link or on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. m.youtube.com/watch?v=AR7XKy… We break down how DARK WOLF made it to the screen, the origin of the series, the first episodes, the psychology behind the characters, the weight carried in key scenes, the delays that shaped production, and what it took to bring this story to life. We also talk about the camaraderie on set and why this production felt different from most. This is a companion podcast to THE TERMINAL LIST: DARK WOLF on Prime Video, taking listeners deeper into the story, the performances, and the creative process behind Ben Edwards’ descent into the gray. Enjoy!

@TheCinesthetic @JoeGKushner Miss this Scorsese

Casino (1995) has that moment where Joe Pesci is talking and it just cuts off mid sentence, no warning, nothing, and it hits in a way that stays with you. Maybe one of Scorsese’s most brutal choices.

@DiscussingFilm Hubris

A sequel movie to the ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ trilogy is officially in the works. Plot synopsis — 14 years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began. Stephen Colbert is co-writing the script.

@queens_guy I think we all heard about the country club vibe but didn’t realize it was that bad. Hopefully better times coming

Shitty coaching, poor conditioning and a clueless DC does this. So glad that era is over.

@teeraps @Jimfrombaseball The best sports bios are that way

@Matt_Goodfell @Jimfrombaseball Zero cooperation from Namath, so Kriegel rolled up his sleeves

"The Cardinals wanted to sign me for $15,000 when I was junior in High School. My Dad asked me what I planned to do with the money, I told him I’d seen a great looking convertible. He didn’t exactly think it would be such a great idea," Joe Willie Namath. "During one high school baseball game in 1961, Joe Namath looked up in the stands behind the Beaver Falls' dugout, and saw a man watching him more intently than everyone else. That man was a second-year Dodgers scout named Tommy Lasorda. "Tommy and I talked quite a bit, even years afterwards, about him coming to town. Yeah, Tommy was scouting me out. Every time I would see Tommy in later years, we’d talk about it. He remembered my hometown and sitting in the bleachers and all kinds of stuff." Namath was a good enough baseball player to receive offers from a number of major league teams, including the Yankees, Mets, Indians, Reds, Pirates, Phillies. He admired Roberto Clemente of Pirates and thought he might play for Pittsburgh. The Cubs offered him a bonus of $50,000, but he decided to play football. Joe Willie Namath. Beaver Falls High School. "I’m in a line at O’Hare Airport one time late in my career, waiting to get up to the ticket counter. And I see this big guy in line ahead of me, and he’s got on this long black topcoat with black fur around the collar, and I kinda lean outta line and I go, ‘It looks like Ted Williams. I think that is Ted Williams!’ So, I just went up to him and tapped him on the shoulder, and he turned around. I said, ‘Mr. Williams’ -- I’ve always called him Mr. Williams -- and he said, ‘Hey, Joe! How ya doin’?’ He was warm. He was just wonderful. I’ve got a baseball of his right here on my shelf -- it says: ‘To Joe Namath Big-League Best Ted Williams.’" Everytime I turn on a NFL TV broadcast, I`ll hear phrases like: " Greatest, Best, Peerless, Unbeatable, etc." The line starts here... 19 year old Joe Willie Namath.

@teeraps @Jimfrombaseball That’s a great book

@Jimfrombaseball Kriegel on Joe: it's all about the size of Joe's hands. Coulda been a hoops star.

@globepolitics Man alive

Replacing Phoenix pay system will cost at least $4.2-billion, Auditor-General estimates theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…

@RayGunEtiquette The movie was great, but the knives were out for it

Annnnnnd there's the first red flag for why the John Carter movie failed.

@FiresideGiants @normmacdonald is spinning in his grave

Cam Skattebo has apologized for comments during a recent interview in which he downplayed and made jokes about CTE and asthma.

@AdamSchefter @MrBaddog7676 @JordanRaanan Man alive…a lot of people got on their high horse on this one

Giants running back Cam Skattebo apologized for comments during a recent interview in which he downplayed Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and asthma. Story via @JordanRaanan: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@DrewPavlou lmao

Chinese Ambassador to Australia Xiao Qian tells Australian reporter that China is a democracy “China is a democracy, in our own way - we are a democracy with Chinese characteristics” 🤣🤣🤣

@LicensePlateGuy Unnecessary

Skatt with the apology #Giants

@idk45584558 @BobbySkinner_ Did you read or watch the interview

@BobbySkinner_ I doubt it was a joke

Jokes into headlines

@AKAfeng37 Wow

Compromised Ottawa put up no resistance to Beijing’s penetrations well into 2026: “In March 2026, Ambassador to Canada Wang Di published an article entitled "New Approaches in Turbulent Times" in Canadian mainstream military magazine Esprit de Corps.” ca.china-embassy.gov.cn/eng/sgxw/20260…

@lippyent @MPell2137 The Rupperts owned the Yankees

Times Square, New York City 1939! #ThrowbackThursday 🕙 🔥 🍒!!

@nkolakowski I think Mann was brought on as producer

IF this is true (and a huge IF), it's good news (despite Mann not being involved in this remake). Aside from his one sublime/scary turn in "Collateral," Cruise missed his calling as a spectacular movie villain.

@AlexTran677026 Should’ve been the start of a series

The Last Boy Scout is such an underrated 90s gem. It carries the action mark of Tony Scott, a great Michael Kamen score, it's packed with Shane Black one-liners... and Bruce Willis is an absolute Bad-Ass.

@Birdyword This is @TheEconomist right now. This is the best person they could get for the job

@GentleDoofus Vincent played dead and got off the train

No quicker way for me to go from “why are they making this?” to “I’m there day one” than the prospect of a villainous Cruise flooding Miami with cocaine.
