What's On Tonight (Friday): These Knuckles Don't Crack...
Knuckles |
I'm pretty lucky to have Fridays to cover for WOT. There's almost always more than one thing premiering that I would actually like to check out. Then there are Fridays like today when there is basically nothing I want to watch. Knuckles comes closest to something I could actually see myself at least sampling. Given the other options, Knuckles gets today's Top Pick pretty much by default.
For those concerned about continuity, this series takes place between the Sonic 2 film and the upcoming Sonic 3. No, I don't actually believe anyone cares about continuity in the Sega Cinematic Universe, but Paramount, like all Hollywood studios, believes that people do. Who am I to argue with Hollywood?
TOP PICK
⭐🦔 Knuckles (Paramount, 3:01 AM) SEASON ONE. 'Follows Knuckles (Idris Elba) on a hilarious and action-packed journey of self-discovery as he agrees to train Wade (Adam Pally) as his protégé and teach him the ways of the Echidna warrior.'✔️

Thirstday April 25
I had this dragonfruit daiquiri during my most recent vacation. It was quite tasty. Feel free to give it a try if you can find red dragonfruit anywhere near you. We only seem to get the white stuff here, and I have no idea on the freshness quality.
I'm not a big mixed drink person so here's a typical daiquiri recipe, substitute strawberries for your favorite fruit of preference (allrecipes.com)

What's On Tonight (Thursday): Right here where we live
With some reluctance, tonight's Top Pick is It Couldn't Happen Here. They're profiling Wahpeton this time around, specifically the Andrew Sadek case. This week marks the eighth anniversary of my first article on the situation. I've covered it from various angles over the years. At the same time, I've never felt like enough of an authority to speak at length about the topic.

What's On Tonight (Tuesday): Life is but a "dream of a dream"
Tonight's Top Pick is the season finale of Shōgun, "A Dream of a Dream," available for streaming on FX on Hulu and airing on FX as well. I don't suppose that next, we will end up with an expanded remake of The Thorn Birds?
