Hello One and All, Star Wars The Clone Wars has yet to ever be Top Pick so tonight it is officially earning that status even tho it actually has two weeks after this one before its finale. There's other stuff on to be sure, Netflix stuff, CBS, CBS, CBS stuff, The Blacklist, but for its finale, The Clone Wars is Top Pick. This is What's On for Friday April 24th 2020
Streaming:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Disney +): Top Pick of the night (on a verrry slow night to be fair) goes to this surprisingly long running show set in the Star Wars universe that i know Amadeus is a fan of and has lobbied for it to get Top Pick status in the past. Thus I give you...Top Pick Status! Tonight's episode is titled "The Phantom Apprentice." I was under the impression that tonight was its finale, but googling it reveals that the show actually has two more episodes yet to air after the one tonight, so maybe it'll get another chance at being Top Pick before it finishes up? I mean Fridays are kinda barren...
Defending Jacob (Apple TV): New mini-series based on a bestselling book from years past by William Landay (I've actually seen it on the shelf of my library so I know its real!) This show stars Chris Evans and Michelle Dockery as two parents forced to confront the unthinkable when their 8 year old son might have (might have) committed a horrible murder and Evans who is the small town DA in the town that they live in has to decide between covering it up or unraveling the truth no matter where it leads him. (I'm gonna guess he chooses to cover it up because otherwise I'm not sure why its a mini-series as opposed to a movie) This also co-stars Pablo Schreiber and Cherry Jones.
Happiness-A Jonas Brothers Concert Film (Amazon): Pretty much what the title says.
And now for the deluge of Netflix stuff---
After Life--Season Two: This was the Ricky Gervais show from last year in he which he plays a widow whom in dealing with his grief decides to just say and do whatever he wants no matter whom it pisses off (how is that different than how real life Ricky lives his life again???) and his friends kinda try to stop him from doing so for some reason??? (I don't know, i didn't see it, tho i actually do like Gervais more often than not--I maintain that "Ghost Town" was a very underrated movie, but he was also kinda watered down somewhat in that to make him more palatable for mainstream audiences too)
Love 101: A new Turkish language show about a group of teen girl basketball players who all conspire to find love for their coach. (This Is A Show?!?!?!?)
Hello Ninja: A kids show about two best friends whom along with their cat named Pretzel transform themselves into ninjas. (nods) (Wait the cat also transforms himself into a ninja???)
EXTRACTION: And finally we have an actual honest to goodness big budget movie! (MOVIE!) starring Chris Hemsworth (THOR Himself!) as a blackmarket mercenary hired to extract the son of an international crime lord from kidnappers. Lyona's man David Harbour is also in it and it is the feature film directing debut of Sam Hargrave whom prior to this was a high profile stunt coordinator whose prior work included the various Avengers movies as well as Thor, and Atomic Blonde and The Hunger Games movies as well. So there you go.
