It’s almost time for Coachella: Weekend Two. This weekend will be a little bit different from the first weekend.

For one, Frank Ocean will not be performing this weekend, as he has dropped out following last weekend’s polarizing performance. Blink-182 will also be performing on Sunday, instead of Friday. Festival goers who are attending this weekend can begin planning who they will see performing, as set times were revealed hours ago.

Game 3 of the 76ers-Nets series saw an increase in physicality and both of the Sixers top stars end up embroiled in controversial plays.

Early in the game, it was Joel Embiid who tried to kick Nic Claxton between the legs when Claxton stepped over the star center following a dunk. That only earned Embiid a Flagrant 1, which led to plenty of debate over whether it should’ve been an ejection, particularly considering what we saw in Sacramento earlier in the week when Draymond Green was ejected and suspended for stomping Domantas Sabonis. Charles Barkley felt Embiid’s actions were worse than Green’s, and that the Sixers star got away with one.

In the late third quarter, after a huge Nets run saw Brooklyn take the lead, James Harden was isolated on Royce O’Neale on the outside when he went to drive and picked up an offensive foul for hitting O’Neale in the junk with his off hand. After a review, the referees determined it was a purposeful hit by Harden and gave him a Flagrant 2 and an ejection.

It was a stunning ejection, as the general expectation was it would be upgraded to a Flagrant 1 and everyone would move on. Instead, the Sixers had to try and close out Game 3 and stage a comeback without their top table-setter, leading to a rather hilarious reaction from Embiid when the announcement was made.

Josh Hart spoke for everyone when he said no one knows what the difference in a Flagrant 1 and 2 is anymore, given what earned an ejection and what didn’t in Brooklyn on Thursday night.

Adding to the drama was in the early fourth quarter when Claxton got his second technical foul for taunting after another dunk, getting sent to the locker room with nine minutes to play in the game.

It seems like most celebrities have their own travel show these days, but Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Happiness has an undeniably great hook. After The Office and a slew of other successes, you’d think that Rainn Wilson would be happy, but he’s not. Not only does he have an anxiety disorder, he’s stuck looking for that something that a lot of us are trying to find. A missing piece. A remedy. A key to unlocking the joyful part of our brain.

And he’s gone looking for it. Even if it’s in frozen water.

Here’s the official synopsis:

“Host and intrepid traveler Rainn Wilson traverse the globe searching for the secrets to the happiest societies on earth. Based on Eric Weiner’s New York Times bestselling book, “The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World,” Rainn will explore some of the happiest and least happy places on earth from Iceland to Qatar to Ghana, and in a profound, humorous, and experiential way that unpacks the science of happiness.”

Like most of the great travel shows, Geography of Happiness looks to focus on the human factor, anchored by the all-too-relatable goal of being more content. Part of it means Wilson breaking out of his comfort zone, learning to shed what’s holding him back, and appreciating what he’s already got. Maybe seeking happiness is the first step to having it. Or maybe it’s in Ghana. Maybe we’ve all gotta just visit Ghana.

Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss hits Peacock May 18th.

It seems like everyone is on edge in the Spy/Master trailer. Which makes sense. It’s 1978, and the Cold War is as hot as it got. The chief advisor for the dictator of Romania wants to defect to the United States, the CIA isn’t sure they want him, the Soviets want to kill him before he reveals devastating state secrets, and the advisor’s family is caught in the crossfire.

Here’s the official synopsis:

“Spy/Master is set during the height of the Cold War and covers a week in the life of fictional character Victor Godeanu, played by Alec Secăreanu (God’s Own Country, Ammonite, Happy Valley), the right-hand man and closest advisor to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. However, Godeanu is also a secret agent for the KGB and must escape Romania and Ceaușescu before his cover is blown. With only one shot at staying alive, he uses a diplomatic trip to Germany as a springboard to the United States. Helped by an undercover Stasi agent and former flame played by Svenja Jung (Deutschland89), and an up-and-coming CIA agent played by Parker Sawyers (Southside with You), Godeanu must elude the KGB and his own country’s spooks, fully aware that his defection is putting his family back home in mortal danger.”

We’ve still got a least another century before we get bored of Cold War espionage thrillers. After approximately a trillion of them, here’s another that looks absolutely fantastic and engrossing. Spy/Master hits Max on May 19th, so get your shoe phone ready.

On Thursday night, the Warriors will host the Kings in a critical Game 3 and will need to find their first win in the series without the services of Draymond Green, who will be serving a one-game suspension for stomping Domantas Sabonis in the chest late in the fourth quarter of Game 2. ‘ Green was suspended in large part due to his history of on-court shenanigans, even though this incident was sparked by Sabonis grabbing his ankle (earning a technical for his part).

In the early game on Thursday, we saw another star big man get too aggressive with his feet in retaliation at an opponent, when Joel Embiid kicked Nic Claxton between the legs as the Nets center stepped over Embiid after a dunk.

Embiid, however, was only assessed a Flagrant 1 for his kick, allowing the star center to stay in the game. At halftime, the Inside the NBA crew debated whether that play was adjudicated correctly, with Kenny Smith rather hilariously saying you couldn’t determine the intent of Embiid, while Shaq said he thought it was the same level as what Draymond did — but didn’t want to advocate for an ejection. That’s when Barkley stepped in and said what Shaq wouldn’t, going as far as saying he thought Embiid’s kick was worse than Green’s stomp.

“I thought he should’ve been ejected,” Barkley said. “I thought it was a Flagrant 2. I think his was worse than Draymond’s. He tried to kick a guy in the junk.”

Shaq appreciated the backup, with Barkley noting what many pointed out which was, while the end result wasn’t as painful for Claxton as it was for Sabonis, there wasn’t even plausible deniability for Embiid as to what he was doing. Green’s entire argument was he got grabbed and had to step somewhere — even though it’s pretty evident he put something extra into his stomp. Embiid was laying on his back and kicks up, which makes it pretty obvious what the intent was, in spite of Kenny Smith trying to look the other way.

The biggest issue for fans (and surely Green) is how two very similar situations were adjudicated so much differently, particularly when you consider Green got a suspension on top of an ejection.

Elizabeth Zott is “one of the smartest people” in the lab where she works as a scientist, but there’s one problem: she’s a woman. She belongs in the kitchen, not doing science, and when she’s fired she takes a job as the host of a cooking show where she’s given the opportunity to speak directly to a large audience. Might there be some subversion among the gelatin molds?

The first teaser trailer for the Apple+ show really leans into the source material, opening with an image of the novel’s cover. It’s a smart tack considering Bonnie Garmus’s novel was a big hit, and it’s encouraging to see it get its proper due since some shows and movies tend to forget their Best Selling source material as soon as its optioned.

Plus, this is the closest thing to a real teaser in years. It’s a hint of the set up, a hint of Brie Larson‘s character, and a tantalizing question of what roads the narrative will drive down while sporting some stylish 1950s costuming and décor.

Showrun by Lee Eisenberg of The Office, Lessons in Chemistry also stars Lewis Pullman, Aja Naomi King, Stephanie Koenig, Kevin Sussman, and Beau Bridges. It hits Apple+ this fall.

It’s crazy to think just how diametrically opposed introverts and extroverts can be. One gets revved up by the idea of crowds, public spaces, going out after 10 p.m.…while the other would find those things an absolute nightmare and much prefer to be in jammies well before 10 p.m. as they recharge with a book in silence.

Sure, we’re all humans, but when viewed through this lens, it almost seems like we’re looking at two completely different species. And as it turns out, one couple decided to take this idea and run with it, making for one hilarious nature show spoof.

In a video posted by “Holderness Family Laughs,” a Youtube channel that routinely delivers side-splitting parody videos, we see Penn Holderness giving his best David Attenborough-style narration while his introvert wife, Kim, leaves her natural habitat of home and goes “out into the wild.” (Better known as just out to you extroverts.)

Kim ventures to Target, Panera, the gym and the park while trying to interact with as few people as possible. Despite her “powerful defenses” of airpods and pretending to be on a phone call, Kim is unable to thwart all chatty predators who have also “evolved” and “adapted.”

Clearly Kim and Penn were spot on in their depiction, because quite a few introverts who watched the video felt called out.

“Haha, this is a very apt video…Having to make small talk with random strangers is nothing short of terrifying to me!”

“Being exhausted by being out in public is so on point.”

“I can relate to and applaud Kim’s tactics.”

“Literally a day in my life!”

“THIS IS SO ME! You captured our personalities perfectly. I have hidden in grocery aisles when seeing someone I didn’t feel like chatting with. I see them…..then quickly back up….then move to the other side of the store.”

Watch below and be sure to share with the introverts in your life. Just be sure to not overwhelm them by showing it in public!

While Garth Risk Hallberg’s novel takes place in the 1970s, Apple+ has pushed City On Fire into 2003 to explore a young woman’s murder and the increasingly-complex entanglements that might have led to it.

Here’s the official synopsis:

“In City on Fire, an NYU student is shot in Central Park on the Fourth of July, 2003. Samantha is alone; there are no witnesses and very little physical evidence. Her friends’ band is playing at her favorite downtown club but she leaves to meet someone, promising to return. She never does. As the crime against Samantha is investigated, she’s revealed to be the crucial connection between a series of mysterious citywide fires, the downtown music scene, and a wealthy uptown real estate family fraying under the strain of the many secrets they keep. Chase Sui Wonders stars as Samantha, and Wyatt Oleff plays Charlie, a friend of Samantha’s who is struggling to cope with the death of his father on 9/11 two years earlier. After Samantha is shot, he stops at nothing to unravel the mystery of what happened.”

With Stephanie Savage and Josh Schwartz (Runaways) showrunning, the trailer has a sleek look to it, offering a view mostly of the Big Apple by night. It also looks absolutely crammed with plot, from Samantha’s backstory to the music crew to the cops to the fires to the elites. It’s a lot of ground to cover in only 8 episodes, and maybe that density will be the reason it’s bingeable.

Apple+ is dropping the first 3 episodes on May 12th with the rest coming once a week into June. Prepare your calendars accordingly.

Brett Morgen‘s Cannes hit Moonage Daydream, covering the life and colorful musical adventures of David Bowie, had too small a run in theaters last September, so it’s thankfully seeing television sets near you once it hits HBO Max April 29th.

As with any icon as singular and vivid as Bowie, the challenge would be meeting the subject where he existed, and by all accounts, Morgen has done it, crafting a wondrous and strange documentary that also chronicles the three major eras of Bowie’s life: early experimentation in London, the androgynous years in Berlin, and the prestige of a later-life gonzo art elder statesman.

The official synopsis describes it thusly:

“Moonage Daydream illuminates the life and genius of David Bowie, one of the most prolific and influential artists of our time. Guided by Bowie’s own narration and told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances, and music, this feature-length experiential cinematic odyssey explores his creative, musical, and spiritual journey.”

When it landed at Cannes it received nearly universal acclaim. It’s the first documentary sanctioned by the Bowie estate, and Morgen (who made the Nirvana doc Montage of Heck and the Goodall doc Jane) had access to five million different artifacts, including artwork, photos, journals and more. The result is a must-see for Bowie fans, and hopefully some who will fall in love with him through this exploration.

With a great deal of discussion around Draymond Green’s ejection and eventual suspension, NBA observers are on high alert when it comes to on-court skirmishes and how they could impact player availability. On Thursday evening, it did not take long for fireworks to begin during Game 3 between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Brooklyn Nets, with Joel Embiid and Nic Claxton involved.

Fewer than three minutes into the game, Embiid hit the deck as he fouled Claxton, who stepped over Embiid and received a kick in response from the MVP candidate.

Claxton was given a technical foul for the step-over and, while many believed Embiid should be given a Flagrant 2 foul that would be accompanied by an ejection, he dodged a bullet and was simply given a Flagrant 1. That felt like a break for Philadelphia, especially given the early juncture of the game and just how important Embiid is to everything the 76ers do on both ends.

In fact, Embiid is the betting favorite to win the NBA MVP award and, with Brooklyn’s primary defensive weakness emanating from a lack of bulk and size, it would’ve been a potentially disastrous moment for Philadelphia. Still, that didn’t happen, and it will be very interesting to see what Embiid and Claxton have to say after the game, to go along with intriguing reactions that will inevitably compare this reaction to the immediate ejection of Green just hours prior.
