Written by Steven Davis, Season 11’s sixth entry tries to solve a simple mystery: Who burned down the restaurant? OK, “burned down” might be a little much, but the kitchen has been rendered inoperable on the eve of Ocean Fest, and Bob (voiced by H. Jon Benjamin) is understandably livid. As Linda (John Roberts) plays peacekeeper, Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Louise (Kristen Schaal) each try to explain their side of the story, and the half-hour builds to a fitting and fun closing lesson....

“We were looking for locations that had big, rocky mountains with desert around, which sounds achievable but it’s not particularly easy to find in the UAE, especially when they’re also looking at other countries like Jordan where you have places like Wadi Rum,” Robbie McAree of Epic Films told The National. Epic Films provided production services for “Dune” in Abu Dhabi. “Eventually it changed. They fell in love with the UAE and the desert landscape so much that they decided to choose the UAE for the vast desert landscapes,” McAree continued, adding that Villeneuve’s decision to shoot “Dune” in July and August coincided with the hottest months of the year in the UAE capital....

Is he Nicolas Cage, who is not only one of the most amazing actors, but a wonderful partner to make a movie with? Absolutely yes. Is he G.O.

Of course, this wasn’t an actual concern, what with the terrible odds of lotteries in general, but a girl could dream....

The tale is set in a war-torn feudal Japan filled with mechs and magic, and the greatest ronin never known, Yasuke, struggles to maintain a peaceful existence after a past life of violence. But when a local village becomes the center of social upheaval between warring daimyo, Yasuke must take up his sword and transport a mysterious child who is the target of dark forces and bloodthirsty warlords. All of that is found within the first trailer as the audience meets Yasuke, voiced by Academy Award nominee LaKeith Stanfield....

Here’s the documentary’s synopsis: Branded as the most hated man in wrestling after winning a highly controversial WCW World Heavyweight Championship in 2000, actor David Arquette attempts a rocky return to the sport that stalled his promising Hollywood career. Dangerously determined to redeem his reputation and reclaim his self-respect, Arquette will stop at nothing to earn his place in professional wrestling.

“And then the studio had told me I wasn’t allowed to shoot anything,” Snyder continued. “That there would be no film made of any kind. During production, that was a thing they insisted on. And I shot stuff anyway, of course, in my yard. And one of the things I shot was the Green Lantern scene.” Snyder told the ReelBlend podcast this week he filmed the new Green Lantern scene in his driveway last year during the pandemic with “an amazing actor” playing John Stewart....
