Well the world didn't end today. It looks like it could be the end of Trump. Ha. I'll believe that when it happens and we're safely beyond him. In the spirit of Trump here's Afrikka Bambaata (with John Lydon).

What's On Tonight (Friday): What Can Keanu Say to a Career-Ending Video?
 |
| Outcome |
Today's Top Pick is the premiere of Outcome. The film follows Reef Hawk (Keanu Reeves), an A-list Hollywood celeb who hasn't made a film in five years and is being threatened with the release of a video that could destroy his image. The problem is no one knows who has the video or what's even on it.
I was a little hesitant to give this one Top Pick status, especially with the competition being the legacy follow-up to Malcolm in the Middle. The good about Outcome: the cast! Reeves, Cameron Diaz, Matt Bomer, Jonah Hill, Susan Lucci, Laverne Cox, David Spade, Roy Wood Jr, Atsuko Okatsuka, and Martin FREAKIN' Scorsese! The bad: Hill also co-wrote and directed. In the end, that cast is too good to let any dislike of Hill to triumph.
After I wrote that last sentence I went to Rotten Tomatoes to see if any reviews have posted. Outcome is sitting at 22% rotten. Eesh. Unfortunately, I really like the headline-gif / call-response thing I got going on, so I'm sticking with Outcome.
If you want something you might actually enjoy, maybe check out the aforementioned Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair. It's at 79% fresh. I'll check it out but this thing better be at least half Hal and Lois or I am going to lose interest fast. They were always the real reason to watch.
⭐🎥 Outcome (Apple, 12:01 AM) 'A dark comedy that centers on Reef Hawk, a beloved Hollywood star who must dive into the depths of his hidden demons after he is extorted with a mysterious video that's sure to shatter his image and end his career. With the support of his lifelong besties Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Bomer), along with his crisis lawyer Ira (Jonah Hill), Reef embarks on a soul-searching journey to make amends with anyone he could have possibly wronged in hopes of identifying the blackmailer. Co-written and directed by Jonah Hill.'✔️

Meanwhile in the White House,
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
Everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks and nothing really rolls
And nothing's ever worth the cost
And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
And maybe I'm damned if I do

What's On Tonight (Thursday): The Incredible Shrinking Elizabeth Banks
Courtesy Peacock.
Tonight's Top Pick is The Miniature Wife, premiering at 3:01 a.m. on Peacock. I'm guessing the season ends in one of two ways: Matthew Macfayden joins Elizabeth as a tiny person, or Elizabeth becomes a giant. That reminds me of a bad movie idea I had, a variant of Attack of the 50 Foot Woman involving young married royals (this was around the time William and Catherine had wed). I called it Power Couple.

What's On Tonight (Wednesday): The new Testaments
 |
| The Testaments |
The boys are back in town! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 8!
Our Top Pick tonight is the series premiere of The Testaments (Apple TV, midnight). This sequel to The Handmaid's Tale takes place years after the previous show's conclusion and is focused on the girls of a Gilead prep school headed by Aunt Lydia. It stars One Battle's Chase Infiniti and Lucy Halliday and includes Rowan Blanchard (Girl Meeting a very different World!). I will still defend Handmaid's as being a really good show for most of its run (well beyond season one). I've seen a wide range of feedback on Testaments, both the book and this TV adaptation.
Elsewhere, Nature visits an elephant sanctuary, Jane Andrews learns how not to dress Natalie Dormer, The Boys are back and they’re looking for trouble, Scrubs manages interns, Culinary cooks the forbidden, the Imperfect dance, Shrinking says goodbye, and Survivors feel portrayed.

Of course the kids rolling Easter eggs knew about Venezuela. Just as I'm sure they knew Trump skipped Easter service to golf and took advantage of Easter to call down hell upon all of Iran -- not just its leaders or military. He's already celebrated blowing up schools and hospitals. Mosques will be next.

I did not dare to look up anything on the annual White House Egg Roll. I don't quite understand what it is in the first place but it always seemed to be a harmless thing in a dangerous city. I did not want to find out that it took place on the Rose Garden cement patio or near the East Wing giant hole in the ground waiting to swallow up children.
But Trump observed Easter by promising death, destruction and suffering to Iranians like any good Christian would. And he sarcastically praised Allah because the best way too "peace" is by making fun of someone else's God.

Courtesy FOX One.
Tonight's Top Pick is Extracted, ending its second season on FOX at 8 p.m. tonight. Realistically, most people will probably watch UConn vs. Michigan, but I just have to continue my attempts at giving every regularly-airing series some representation.
