I do see a lot of people talking about THE MUPPET SHOW reboot. Which is good. But I also keep looking to see if it got a full season commitment.
Make it happen.

Had fun with SEND HELP. A little too familiar with a Palme d’Or winner, but McAdams is a pleasure.

“Catherine O’Hara was a goddess of surprise. … No two roles were alike. And once she’d dug into them, she was so committed that you stopped thinking of them as fictional constructs,” writes @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social in his tribute to the late actress.
The Belle of Absurdity: Catherine O'Hara (1954-2026) | Tributes | Roger Ebert
Brilliant, beautiful and constantly surprising, Catherine O'Hara found the truth in often absurd characters.

Good morning!
February marks the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had the great pleasure of speaking to ConcernedApe ahead of the occasion about the last ten years and his plans for the future. It's a nice long one, please enjoy:

Watched the New Muppet Show pilot the other day. It's nice to have everyone back, but it'd certainly benefit from a few more episodes.
I did not expect a Rizzo the rat skit to be my favorite of the episode.
