Killing Eve:So they went through all that trouble to set
up the crazy French assassin just to let her out of prison after one scene with
little issue?Why bother arresting her at
all except for a cheap cliffhanger?
The Walking Dead:The writers really got too cute with the
nonlinear storytelling.They should have
shown the Aaron/priest scene first because then we knew what was going to happen
to the red shirt on the horse.And I am
confused by the timeline.So red shirt
runs into Negann, gets a horse, goes back to get shot, then goes to
Hilltop?Huh?Feels like something got messed up.And this is where Negan went?Are we really to believe this super religious
dude who have a wall of evil doer’s skulls was going to is going to let Negan
live there?
Billions:What I really disliked about the whole
Olympics plot was that its conclusion was obvious, that Prince was not going to
be able to move the games to New York since that would deviate from reality too
far.I thought Prince’s attempt to
remove Chuck was just as fruitless because there is no show without in a power
position.Well, despite the rousing
applause, Chuck still got ousted.So is
Chuck going to go the way of Bobby and be written off the show?Is Chuck going to be a puppet master to his
replacement?I guess he could always run
for governor.His first run did not go
well.
Super
Pumped: The Fight for Uber:I
am surprised they did not make a bigger deal of Bill getting locked out of
Uber.And while I knew Uma Thurman as Arianna
Huffington was coming, I did not know she had a seat on the board at Uber.But all the boy’s club antics of the show was
kind of gross considering the accusation of Brian Koppleman’s other Showtime
show Billions.
Snowpiercer:So Melanie somehow had enough juice in her suit to walk
to another train that apparently can pierce snow too despite being much smaller,
then survived by going in and out of stasis.Yet this is more believable than her turning on her daughter to rat out
Layton’s plan to go to the Horn of Africa.But I guess with Wilford locked up, there needs to be a new antagonist.
The
Endgame:The agents were once again stupid
enough to think they got to the bomb in time.If they knew the tech guy was in on it with the evil chick, they really
should have known, that it was an act the caught the bomber in time.
Survivor:Yet another episode where the editors spoil
things, at least it was inadvertent this time.But of course the Tribe that got zero scree time prior to the challenge
was not going to go to Tribal.But really
bizarre that in the opening scene of the season they show us Tori finding the
dumb phrase advantage yet she is going to be the last on the show to find
it.
But, wow, so much bad game play this week.How do you explicitly tell someone you cannot
risk losing your vote and then assume the other people will not risk their vote
so you can get an Extra Vote?Then what
exactly happened with the vote?Did Hai
change his last minute from the guys voting for the guy and the girls voting
for the girl?It did not seem like he changed,
so did they really go to Tribal without the votes correctly working out for
them?But Hai did the one smart thing and
threaten to go the rocks.Had he
switched (and why would he if Daniel was adamant about not going to rocks as
the only other vote) then he is clearly on the bottom of a five member Tribe and
would be gone at next Tribal.Not changing
mean best case scenario, Daniel switches, his closes ally is safe, and Daniel
is the new goat of the Tribe.Worst case
scenario, go to rocks with a one in four change of going home,three and four chance of someone other than
you or your only ally going home.Really
the only thing Daniel said or did this week was that he is not going to
win.I do not think anyone on this Tribe
has a chance at this point.
The Dropout:My biggest problem with shows about real life people is that I spend way
too much time searching if such dumb, inconsequential events really happened.Like did Tyler Shultz really drop out of
college his senior year to go tour with Dispatch?That was the most excited I have ever seen anyone
talk about Dispatch before.
Big Sky:Yeah, I was stupid for assuming multiple died last episode, especially
since T-Lock was the only one we got confirmation of.It turned out Ronald was the only one else who actually
died yet.But much like his brother,
Wolf survived a bullet only to be killed by hand latter.I wonder if there is a triplet out
there.Oh, and Scarlette somehow escaped
after being stabbed in the neck.Umm, okay.Then it was bizarre that Ren mock the bomber
for claiming he had information because everyone says that before dying, but
then seemingly believed him after telling her that Stone was cop.
The Blacklist:When the show is doing hot killer sex robot storylines, it is really
time to end the show.But I missed why
Red wanted to investigate it when the guy with the ruby neckless was poisoned
by his wife.

Following the shocking death of Arconia Board President Bunny Folger, Charles, Oliver & Mabel race to unmask her killer.

- SHOWTIME has announced that the third season of its acclaimed Boston drama series CITY ON A HILL, starring Emmy® nominee Kevin Bacon and Screen Actors Guild® award winner Aldis Hodge, will premiere on Sunday, July 10 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, and the network has released a first-look trailer for the new season.

In Season 2, when a Bridgeport classmate mysteriously disappears, Frank (Rohan Campbell) and Joe Hardy (Alexander Elliot) drop their new normal routine to get back to detective work. But when they discover the mystical relic they destroyed last year is still in play, it becomes clear their simple missing person case is actually part of something far more sinister. The Hardy boys and their friends must quickly learn who they can and can’t trust as they race against time to unravel the truth, and ultimately realize that no one is safe from their past.

- Three-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated and BRIT Award-winning multi-platinum singer, songwriter, producer, and guitaristJamesBayreturns with a brand-new single entitled “Give Me The Reason” viaRepublic Records. Listen to “Give Me The Reason” HERE and watch the official music video HERE.On the new single and music videoBaysaid: “I wanted this song to feel huge and emotional. It’s about that moment when you feel like the sun is beginning to set on a relationship, it’s about the fight to stay together. I want it to explode with energy when I play it live. It’s about feeling your heart beat fast and love racing through your veins.”
- Following their barnstorming performances at this year’s SXSW festival,Ural Thomas And The Painshare the new single “Do You Remember The Times We Had?” from their upcoming albumDancing Dimensionsout June 3rd on Bella Union/[PIAS]. On the track, Ural says: “To me this song is about that feeling everyone has sometimes, wishing we were kids again. As we go through life, childhood memories can start to fade away, Do You Remember The Times We Had? reminds us to never ‘grow old’ but also to live with joy in the moment.” The band have previously shared an entertaining video forDancing Dimensions’ irresistible title track - watchHERE- and announced aLondon Jazz Cafeshow on Saturday 18th June.
- Multi-JUNO Award nominee and Canadian platinum-certified artist JESSIA delivers the piano-forward, unfettered truth bomb of a track ‘Next Time’, available everywhere via Artist Driven Records in partnership with Republic Records. The vulnerability in her songwriting shines on ‘Next Time’, and JESSIA’s soft vocals steadily build from whisper to battle cry, with a robust crescendo that embodies crushing heartbreak so succinctly it leaves little for the imagination. There’s an aching familiarity to ‘Next Time’; the type of song that has you quietly reflecting on past relationships in one moment, and singing at the top of your lungs in wounded fury the next. Listen to ‘Next Time’ HERE. Watch the Lyric Video HERE

Killing Eve:They have done a very job poor job explaining who the new Indian people are.And now the sister has killed the
brother.Is she supposed to be the new
crazy French assassin?Then after wasting
the crazy French assassin at church camp the first two episodes, now they have
put her in prison.This is just another
waste of the character.Though we know
she can escape from prison.But hey, at
least they had completely unnecessary title card
The Walking Dead:So the black chick with glasses was the chick
talking to Eugene all along, but that chick was using a different name.This feels like yet another set up.And
I forgot Oceanside was still a thing.Is
there anyone still there that I would remember?I certainly did not recognize the chick who talked to the head Commonwealth
lady.
Billions:I was wondering a couple episodes ago where
were all the gratuitous Olympics athlete cameos.Though when I think Olympic stars, I do not
really think soccer.The World Cup is what
makes soccer players stars.But anyways.Chuck (and reality) won, the games are going
back to Los Angeles.Maybe?There are still four episodes left so I am
not sure if Mike prince has another trick or two up his sleeves.Or are the final four episodes just going to
be him trying to get back at Chuck.But
what I found most interesting was that Kopelman was not able to get a Jay-Z
song for when he performed at the Uber party, but was able to license Jay-Z for
his other show.
Snowpiercer: So the new chick is dead already?What a waste of what could have been an
interesting character.We barely saw her,
she rarely interacted with anyone, and now she is dead.
The
Endgame:So the lasers stopped when they hit the
floor.No one thought to put something
they could crawl under between the laser and the floor that they could get
through?But that the evil people went
through all that just to back people up so they would find the secret safe was
pretty funny.
Survivor:That
challenge was confusing, having two pairs from each team on the course at the same
time just made it hard to figure out who was who and who was ahead.It was not until everything was corrected
until I figured out what was going on.But I never understand why people just do not boot annoying people
first.Why do you (potentially) want to
spend the whole game with them?I get
you want to sit next to them at the end, but if you are thinking that, so is
everyone else.Best to get these people
out early.
Resident Alien: Wait, so even if half human,
they would still have to worry about baby alien eating other humans?That is gross.Though it never actually ate a human.But I do wonder if the two cops heard that
gunshot.
The Dropout:So this week’s notable actors that just randomly pop up are Jack son
from Lost and the comic book store owner from The Big Bang Theory.We still got some Walgreens, so hopefully my
hope for a spin-off is still alive.But
poor chemist, killing himself to avoid everything.Though if you are stuck between an NDA and
being under oath in a court of law, doesn’t US Government supersede a private
NDA?At least consult a lawyer.NDA seem to violate First Amendment rights.
Big Sky: Why did the doctor give Ronald
the adrenaline he needed just to kill Scarlett?Give him something poisonous and then kill her.Oh well, at least they are both dead… I
think.Drew Carey’s brother seemingly
died twice only to survive (and maybe will a third time).Though, at least T-Lock is dead-dead.I guess we will have to wait for confirmation
of everyone else.

Killing Eve:Well, did not take long for crazy assassin lady to start assassinate
non-feline people again.But killing the
priest, and especially his daughter, seemed even extreme for her.
The Walking Dead:This show has been a hard watch for a while
but Eugene becoming a mix of Veronica Mars and Carrie Mathieson was the most
entertaining thing I have seen on this show in a very long time.But of course the show had to ruin it by a
stupid reveal at the end.So does
everyone in the community know she was a spy?Was wearing glasses enough to disguise like she was Superman?
Billions:So they are really are going through with the
New York City stealing the Olympics.For
a show that wants to live in reality so much that they routinely bring in
celebrities to play themselves, they are really going to deviate from reality
with such a huge change from real world events.Though is there anything at this point that Chuck can stop it?Even if can prove shenanigans, would the IOC
really switch a games for a third time?And
can he use Wendy to bring Prince down?Without Bobby, out of the way, maybe it is time for them to get back
together.
Snowpiercer:I was expecting Melanie to pop up in the dream.Really no one we have not seen in a while made
an appearance.Though once I realized we
were not getting Melanie in the dream sequence, her name randomly pops up because
someone thinks she is in France.Huh?Wasn’t the lab she was at in
Colorado?How did she get to France?
The
Endgame:Nothing I have more
than cops that are supposed to be super smart but cannot figure out the easiest
connections.They see the bank robbers take
money and the screen is hacked by the head chick telling everyone to come to
the back followed by the cops claiming they have no clue why she was doing
either.Well, of course they were moving
the money to give it to the people coming to the bank to cause a
diversion.So easy to guess that.
Pam
& Tommy:I am not
well versed in late period Motley Crue so I wonder if the song they played was an
actual bland rock song or did they create some bland rock song for them to play
since they could not license an actual Motley Crue song?Whatever it was, I am just so glad the show
is over.
Survivor:How exactly do you need three days to decide
to kick somebody off for lying about the medical records?That seems like an obvious boot now, bring in
an alternate.Kind of gross they decided
to let Jackson on to milk the drama like that.Speaking of people who need to be fired beside whomever though that was a
good idea: the editor needs to be fired too.In the opening montage, we see Tori find the dumb phrase advantage,
except she did not find it in the episode.So when the editors made it seem like it was going to be either her or Zach
at Tribal, obviously we knew who was not going home.So stupid.
The Dropout:In this week’s installment of random cameos: Cameron Frye, Harry Crane,
the brother from Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, and Sam Waterson.I really hope we get a Walgreens spinoff with
the first three guys.Obvious get Katy
Perry to do the theme song.
Single Drunk Female:Wait, didn’t that chick have her bachelorette party during Sam’s last
bender which would be a year ago if Sam is now one year sober?

- Check out Hulu’s teaser trailer for the upcoming second season of "The Hardy Boys," which premieres with all 10 episodes on Wednesday, April 6, 2022. The second season picks up six months after the events of Season 1, building on the mystery and drama of the inaugural season and welcoming new friends and suspects. In Season 2, when a Bridgeport classmate mysteriously disappears, Frank (Rohan Campbell) and Joe Hardy (Alexander Elliot) drop their new normal routine to get back to detective work.

The Hardy boys and their friends must quickly learn who they can and can’t trust as they race against time to unravel the truth, and ultimately realize that no one is safe from their past.
- Florence + the Machine debut a new song, “Heaven is Here,” today alongside a video by acclaimed director Autumn de Wilde and choreographed by Ryan Heffington. Listen/watch here. “‘Heaven is Here’ was the first song I wrote in lockdown after an extended period of not being able to get to the studio,” saysFlorence Welch. “I wanted to make something monstrous. And this clamour of joy, fury and grief was the first thing that came out. With dance studios also shut it was my dream to one day create choreography with it. So it’s one of the first pieces of music I have made specifically with contemporary dance in mind.”
- Oh Wonder is back today with news of a new album, 22 Make, and brand new single “Magnificent”—listen HERE. 22 Make is the surprise second half of the alt-pop-duo’s 22 Break project, a brand new album they dropped with little warning towards the end of 2021. The band’s most powerful and intimate music thus far, it unpicked a turbulent period in the incredible story of Oh Wonder: here were universal themes (loneliness, inadequacy, resentment, fears for the future) as experienced by one couple in real-time, all blown up in the pandemic. Not many bands can make a break-up album that culminates in them tying the knot—but then again, Oh Wonder have never been like other bands. Coming out of 22 Break and all the soul-searching that it forced them to do, Josephine and Anthony got married and channelled all this into 22 Make: a whole new album set for release on July 22nd, soundtracking the light at the end of a tunnel and completing the dual project (with 11 songs on each half).
- “No Prizes” feat. Lianne La Havas is the second single to be revealed from British spoken word artist, rapper, poet, novelist, and playwrightKae Tempest’s new albumThe Line Is A Curve, set for release onApril 8thviaAmerican Recordings/Republic Records.

The record also follows the critically acclaimed playParadise, which premiered at the National Theatre in London in 2021. LISTEN HERE & WATCH HERE.
- Following the release of her critically acclaimed EP Lychee on Friday, BENEE reveals the video for her new single “Never Ending”—watch HERE. Directed by Devan Narsai and Riley Coughlin, the glitchy video shows a different side of the New Zealand alternative pop star, further showcasing BENEE’s evolution as an artist and her knack for pushing genre boundaries. Of the video, BENEE says: “From the start, I knew I wanted the ‘Never Ending’ video to be driven by lots of fast cuts and lots of post-production to make it a really cool visual trip! The video was made with two friends of mine Devan & Riley – Devan has a really good eye for shots & Riley is super skilled at creative direction. I also knew Riley would kill the whole post prod side of the project! This has been my favourite video to date as I just love how well it suits the song. It was a last minute decision to put my dog TÅ«Ä« in it, but I knew she’d make my performance walking down the street feel more natural (.:”
- Breakout songstress Lyn Lapid releases her latest single “The Outsider” today from her soon-to-be-announced debut EP—listen HERE. The song features Lyn’s angelic vocals over a bouncy indie pop beat as she sings, “Now I’m someone you used to know, The outsider of an inside joke.” Lyn says,“I wrote ‘The Outsider’ about that stage in your life when you start to grow apart from people who were part of your every day. For a lot of people, it can be about becoming distant in relationships that you thought would last forever. For me, those relationships in my life were with my old high school friends. Since we all kind of went in different directions after high school, it was sort of inevitable to become distant with them. Watching them grow apart from you and seeing them make new memories with other people is a truly bittersweet feeling. They were probably off making inside jokes with new people, and that felt very isolating, which is why I called it ‘The Outsider.’”
- Emerging as one of the year’s breakthrough acts, Los Angeles singer and songwriter Em Beihold (pronounced bye-hold) unveils the music video for her buzzing single “Numb Little Bug” today via Moon Projects/Republic Records. Watch the music video for “Numb Little Bug” — HERE. Listen to “Numb Little Bug”— HERE.
