Mike Brown got excited at the end regulation and picked up a calf injury, as you can see at mid court after Merrill’s miss and Breen’s halfway ‘Bang.’

There's a scene [in Weapons] where - yeah. When - the scene when she's sleeping in the car, and the audience sees the woman coming out of the house, walking strangely to the car, and then you just hear the back seat open. I think that's the - it's terrifying, but I think that's the funniest thing in the entire world.

MARTÍNEZ: What's the writing room like? 'Cause I'm wondering with a series like this that has horror, it has suspense, it has mystery and, obviously, lots of laughs, too, are there some writers that are better at one part of that?DIPPOLD: You know, I'm so glad you asked that because that was one of the more challenging things that ended up being the most rewarding. I had this great writers' room. There's seven other writers. Some of them came from more mythology-heavy shows like "WandaVision." And then I had, you know, a couple of old-time friends in comedies that - some of the best comedy writers I know from, like, you know, "SNL." One was from "Key & Peele." And so at first, that was a challenge, to sort of navigate the room and try to tell one cohesive story. What was very rewarding was by the end, the mythology writers were pitching jokes that were hilarious, and they all knew the show. And the comedy writers were passionately, heatedly debating and arguing for things on the mythology. And it was very fun to see that come together.
AVC: Was there something you were able to improv in or have any favorite scenes from the episode?KO: It was a late addition, but I loved this bit in episode one where she’s talking to Shep in the hospital room, and Tom walks in and says something about them being able to listen to you when they’re in a coma, so Patricia responds by saying, “I apologize for wasting his time.” That was a last minute throw-in line. There’s also a scene at the start of episode seven that we have to play it straight, but it was impossible to get through for me.In episode four, I loved the physical stuff, like the final scene on the beach where they’re all walking into the water. It looked spectacular in person. I felt like a kid in the playground pretending to save everybody.
He was the person scheduled to perform at this year's White House Correspondents' dinner instead of a comic--and apparently makes frequent appearances on major podcasts and tv shows.
Pablos's latest podcast goes into detail revealing how some of his popular tricks work, and asks whether the techniques stray from the common definition of magic tricks to outright fraud. (Torre's guest previously posted a much longer expose that's supposedly good.)
(The Columbo episodes about a mentalist and magician are good fun, and were great inoculation against falling for such nonsense.)
William Clowes for Bloomberg's Africa newsletter:
The Katanga region of southeastern Congo is the source of most of the world’s cobalt and more copper than any country other than Chile. The geology, though, has created an operating environment that can at times resemble something out of a dystopian Mad Max movie.
The latest episode is the experience of a Eurasian Resources Group unit called Metalkol.
Intruders have hijacked a large part of its deposit and started to exploit the site on a near-industrial scale.
Suitably spiced with various flavors of horror:
That’s how the weekend started. Here’s how it ended: My wife broke her wrist slipping on wet grass, and both children and I came down with hand, foot, and mouth disease. This is not a joke. One of us went home with her arm in a sling; the other three developed itchy, painful red blisters all over our faces and extremities. If you’re looking for a sign from God as to whether hanging out with the richest man on Earth is right for you, pay attention when he sends you not one plague, but two. Suffice it to say we have never been back to Campfire, nor have we ever been invited.
