| Ryan Gosling & Gorillaz |
Show #1002
Actor extraordinaire Ryan Gosling returns for his 4th gig (in just over 10 years) as host. It's been 2 years since his last time, so his last 2 movies (The Fall Guy, Project Hail Mary) both led to SNL.
English alternative rock-electronic-tri hop band Gorillaz makes their SNL debut. The band is primarily a virtual band so TBD on how it translates that to the limited stage of Studio 8H. I'm sure we'll see 2-D, Noodle, Murdoc, et al, at some point.

We've reached the last ditch of the lowest circle of hell. You'll find Judas there and hopefully soon Donald Trump will join him. This is for traitors to masters or benefactors. Two Corinthians walk into a bar holding a Bible upside down....make your own punch.

| DTF St. Louis |
Spring forward, America! Here's what's on television for tonight, Sunday, March 8!
Our Top Pick tonight is DTF St. Louis (HBO & HBO Max, 9 p.m.). This dark comedy miniseries is about a love triangle for the middle-aged. The triangle in this case is Jason Bateman, David Harbour, and Linda Cardellini with the middle one ending up dead (I think). Richard Jenkins investigates the crime. I assume Lily Allen did it.
Elsewhere, Steve Carell is a Rooster, Our Town is set to be a Classic, illnesses won't stop Dad, Calling the Heart is top secret, Chernobyl has melted, 60 Minutes gets Hegseth'd, Crossroad Springs returns, and Primal goes to the Black River.
Welcome to the Weekend in Pop Culture! Let's examine what's coming out in theaters this weekend.
The Bride!
Frankenstein's monster makes himself a bride! in 1930s Chicago.
Hoppers
A teenager controls a robotic beaver that can talk to animals.

| Ghost Elephants |
I love you 3000! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, March 7!
Our Top Pick tonight is Ghost Elephants (National Geographic, 9 p.m. / Disney+ & Hulu, Sunday). This documentary is the latest work from Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, The Fire Within, Encounters at the End of the World, etc.) and focuses on a Steve Boyes, a conservation biologist who believes there's an undocumented species of elephant in the highlands of Angola. This doc follows him and a team as they search. It had me at "Werner Herzog."
Elsewhere, Ryan Gosling is Live from New York, Hannah Swensen is on the case, Jenny Hagel has News, Russell Crowe stands trial at Nuremberg, Duck Dynasty's revival is still a thing, baseball has its Classic, and One Piece enters its own elephant country.
