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.'✔️

And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no

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.

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.

The Greatest Average American

Happy Earth Day! Here's what's on television for tonight, Wednesday, April 22!

Our Top Pick tonight is the season finale of The Greatest Average American (ABC, 9 p.m. / Hulu, Thursday). This game show hosted by Nate Bargatze didn't make any sort of splash in its freshman season, and ABC hasn't seemed to key on promoting it. All the questions and challenges are about the typical American life.

I'm not paying attention to politics because I'm getting dolled up to go to Moulin Rouge. Not the real one. We went there a couple months ago. This time it's Broadway. Megan Thee Stallion is having another off day. I wouldn't be surprised if she showed up at curtain call with "Wet Ass Pussy" anyway.
