Tonight's Top Pick is Antiques Roadshow, because I'm saving The Rookie for its season finale next week, and The Neighborhood for its series finale on May 11. I have no idea what that lady's so amazed about.

What's On Tonight (Sunday): Audacity of nope

The Audacity

Sunday! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, April 26!

Our Top Pick tonight is The Audacity (AMC+, 3 a.m. / AMC, 9 p.m.). This new series takes on tech bros and the people around them and it might be aiming for too much accuracy because the show isn't that enjoyable. Even with Sarah Goldberg. These are terrible, terrible people who see themselves as gods. See also: Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever.

Elsewhere, Nicola Coughlan was Live from London, Ben Sasse has a Minute, the Comeback didn't sign an NDA, Guy has a colonoscopy, Rooster gets emotional, A&E still loves the WWE, Euphoria likes Paladin, a new Last Chef Standing begins, and Bob's brings quality back to Fox.

What's On Tonight (Friday): Murder for the Job You Want

          

No Other Choice

Today's Top Pick is the streaming premiere of director Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice.  The dark comedy follows a man who loses his job and goes to extremes to insure he gets a new one to maintain his family's standard of living.  The movie received excellent reviews but strangely was not nominated for any Oscars.  Never let it be said that the Oscars have better taste than What's On Tonight.

If Oscar nominations are important to you, we also have the streaming premiere of the Timothée Chalamet starrer, Marty Supreme.  I know a lot of people on our board don't much like Chalamet, but I have no issues with him.  Probably because I ignore most of the celebrity bullshit.  

⭐🎥 No Other Choice (Hulu, 12:01 AM) STREAMING PREMIERE. 'Follows a desperate paper industry expert who decides to kill off his competition to be assured of the job he seeks to maintain his way of life.  Directed by Park Chan-wook.'✔️

This week's Notable Opening Night is Titanic, the musical that opened at the Lunt-Fontanne on April 23, 1997, about eight months before the unrelated movie. I'm feeling hella-tired, so I'll hopefully give an essay sometime this weekend. Thank you for understanding.

Project Runway Canada, S3 E8: 'Archive Edit'

Via Elle Canada:

We’ve made it to the final four designers so the stakes for Episode 8—and which three will make it to the final runway—could not be higher at this point in the competition. This episode starts with a video homage to the work and career of Jeanne Becker. Designers are then invited, one-by-one, into the workroom where they get some seriously emotional sit-down time with Jeanne to discuss their journey, aesthetic and point-of-view, looks they’ve created so far, and hopes and dreams for the future. She then presents the next challenge: To create a legacy defining look to prove to the judges why they should have a place in the finale—with complete freedom in their design.
