The EuroLeague Women’s Final Four came to its conclusion on Sunday, starting with a bronze medal game between Beretta Famila Schio and ZVVZ USK Praha that featured one of the most outrageous endings to any basketball game you’ll see this season.
The final 30 seconds saw Marina Mabrey (who WNBA fans will know as a former Dallas Wings star, now headed to the Chicago Sky) put Famila Schio ahead by two on a scooping layup, only to be answered by a midrange jumper from Teja Oblak with five seconds to play. That was just the appetizer for one of the all-time unbelievable no-calls swinging the game in favor of Famila Schio, as, after a steal by ZVVZ USK, Valeriane Vukosavljevic got flattened by Mabrey dribbling up the floor and lost the ball, somehow resulting in a play-on, with Egle Sventoraite picking the ball up and banking in a three at the buzzer to win the game — on her first three-point attempt of the entire season
Look, this has to be something. There’s no way you can have this much contact be nothing, especially with Vukosavljevic losing the ball like Sonic losing his rings after running square into Mabrey. Even calling a charge somehow would’ve been better than letting this just go, and ZVVZ USK has plenty of reason to be upset here. That said, this will delight the people who want referees to swallow their whistles in the final seconds of the game no matter the situation.
We’re just hours away from the return of Barry, Bill Hader and Alec Berg’s brilliantly nuanced dramedy about a hit man (Hader) attempting to give up his life of homicide-for-hire in order to pursue an acting career. The HBO series’ fourth and final season will kick off at 10 p.m. on Sunday, April 16, right after the newest episode of Succession. And it will be bittersweet — both for Hader and fans who have come to regard Barry as one of the smartest and most surprising shows on television right now.
From the trailers and teasers we’ve seen so far, we know that Barry is in jail and being forced to confront the full weight of his killer past. But just how much longer do we have with our kinda lovable hit man? If you’ve been paying attention to the first three seasons, you probably know the answer. Hader and Berg like to keep their seasons short and sweet at just eight episodes per go. Which is exactly what we can expect from the newest, and last season of the show.
While saying goodbye to the character will be difficult for all those who have come to know him, Hader himself thinks it was clear that there was only so much farther the story could go. “I think as you’re outlining it, you kinda realize it naturally wants to end here,” Hader tells UPROXX. “The cat’s out of the bag, so it feels like the ball’s rolling downhill, story-wise.”
“There was never a moment of, ‘Oh gosh, if this happened, then maybe we can keep the story going,’” Hader continued. “You could have entertained some things to keep a show going, like if it shifted and it becomes a totally different thing. More of a fugitive-type show or a guy-in-prison-type show. But that never was really interesting to me. The characters kinda dictate where it goes.”
New episodes of Barry will air each week on HBO at 10 p.m. EST on Sundays.
21 Savage is hitting the road this summer for the It’s All A Blur Tour alongside his friend and collaborator Drake. To prepare himself for the massive tour, the “Rich Flex” rapper has decided to make guest appearances at a few prominent festival stages, including Coachella and Dreamville Festival. But that’s not the only way he’s training. 21 Savage is also getting his vocals right during his downtime.
While attending Usher’s Las Vegas residency show, the musician joined the singer for a seemingly unlikely duet of Usher’s 2004 song “My Boo,” which originally featured Alicia Keys. While the Atlanta representative is known for his rough and tough rap songs, he’s actually a huge fan of R&B music. For years, he has showcased his love for R&B music, often going live on Instagram to sing along to some of his favorite songs.
Usher spotted Savage in the crowd and declared, “You know you love singing R&B and sh*t,” referring to the rapper’s live streams, then asked him to join in on the track. At first, Savage hesitated, but after being encouraged by Usher and the crowd, he cut loose to sing along.
Watch the full clip of 21 Savage singing along below.
Ana de Armas made her SNL hosting debut on Saturday, and she kicked off her monologue by keeping it real: She began by speaking Spanish. The Oscar-nominated actress was born in Cuba, and she told the crowd how she came to speak a foreign tongue.
“I was 26 and I learned English the way everyone who comes to this country does — by watching ‘Friends,’” de Armas told the crowd.
She then singled out which Friends cast member/character helped her the most. “Who would have thought that the best English tutor would be Chandler Bing?” She then did an impression of Chandler’s signature phrase. “I mean, look at me now. Could I be any better at English?”
De Armas also told a story about one of her first English-language films: the biopic Hands of Stone, starring Édgar Ramirez and Robert De Niro. She had a good story about the latter.
“One day on set he told me, ‘I may be going to Cuba soon. If I do, I’ll say hello to your family,’” said de Armas. “He even asked me for the phone number.”
She forgot about the exchange and some time passed. “Then, one day, out of the blue, I get a phone call from my dad – he’s hysterical,” she recalled “I’m like, ‘Dad, what’s wrong?’ and he goes, ‘Robert De Niro just came to visit me at work.’”
In summary, Chandler Bing is good at teaching English and De Niro is good people.
It was a raucous atmosphere, as expected, with Kings fans packing the arena well before tipoff, celebrating their first playoff trip in nearly two decades. It was a hostile environment for the Warriors, which they’re accustomed to in the postseason, but also for some of their high-profile fans. E-40 was among those who made the trip up the road to Sacramento for the game to cheer on the Warriors, but after an altercation with a fan, he was kicked out of his courtside seat.
On Sunday morning, E-40 issued a statement insisting he was not in the wrong and calling out “racial bias” from the security at the Kings arena for deciding that he was in the wrong in the incident with a white woman.
Hip-hop artist E-40 says racial bias was the reason behind him being kicked out of Golden 1 Center midway through the fourth quarter of Golden State-Sacramento on Saturday night and he is requesting the Kings to investigate. Full statement: pic.twitter.com/15Lwl2lJZF
The Bay Area legend asked for an investigation into the matter by the Kings, saying he was humiliated by security kicking him out. The Kings have not issued a statement on the matter, but it’s likely they and the league will look into what transpired on Saturday night with one of the Warriors most prominent fans.
It’s not the first time the musicians served as the other’s unannounced guests (i.e. Eilish’s December show in Los Angeles). Nevertheless, the haunting performance was nothing short of euphoric.
When asked how the collaboration came to be, Labrinth told Eddie Francis on Apple Music 1’s New Music Daily show, “I’ve been a fan of Billie for a long time. I think she’s an amazing artist.
“Once I started piecing the song together, I was just like, “Do you know what? I think this is the moment where I think Billie would be a sick addition,’” he said. “When we spoke, she was like, ‘Lab, I’ve been listening to your music for years.” I was like, ‘What?’ It was like, ‘Billie? What? You?’ She was like, ‘Yeah, been a fan.’ She was like, ‘I love this song as well, so I would love to do it with you,’” said the musician.
Barbie has been one of the most anticipated movies of this summer ever since the first image dropped last year. The film, directed by Greta Gerwig and written with her partner Noah Baumbach, promises a smart, aggressively pink take on the longtime doll. But what if it spawned copycats that didn’t stop at being merely post-modern but went full-on grimly realistic? That’s the subject of the SNL parody American Girls.
The American Girl line was first launched in 1986, featuring dolls of various ethnicities. The SNL parody trailer featured Heidi Gardner, Molly Kearney, Chloe Fineman, Sarah Sherman, and host Ana De Armas as a diverse group of living dolls, each with their own “harrowing” backstory.
For instance, one hails from Victorian times, which isn’t a fun time to be alive. One was a prisoner of war. Another is a runaway slave. One simply has glasses.
“Not all dolls live in a dream, some are bigger, younger, sadder, some dolls are American Girls,” says the voice-over. “Did all their family members die of old timey diseases? Absolutely.”
More than one of them suddenly dies of cholera.
There actually have been movie adaptations of American Girl, mostly direct-to-video, with one exception: 2008’s Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, starring Abigail Breslin, which was released theatrically.
Weekend Update isn’t above getting serious. They just try to balance it with jokes. Cecily Strong famously talked abortions while dressed as a clown. Kate McKinnon faux-praised Ron DeSantis’ “Don’t Say Gay” bill, reasoning that it meant today’s gay students in Florida wouldn’t have to weather so many slurs. And on the most recent SNL, the show’s first nonbinary cast member gave a pep talk to besieged trans kids — while flying, of course.
Molly Kearney dropped in on Weekend Update. We mean that literally: They descended from the sky on wires. They were there to discuss how, among the hundreds of anti-LGBTQIA+ bills introduced across the country, trans kids have been particularly targeted. It must be awful for an already marginalized group. But Kearney was there to both defend them and joke about the painful harness they were wearing.
“I have been hung up on my genitals for far too long, and I’m starting to feel like a freaking Republican lawmaker!” Kearney told the crowd. “At one point I heard a crew guy say, ‘Is she gonna die up there?’ And then another crew guy was like, ’ You mean, are they going to die up there?’”
Kearney was at some points sincere. “If you don’t care about trans kids’ lives, that means you don’t care about freakin’ kids’ lives,” they said. “We are making trans kids grow up too fast. We should be keeping them safe and we need to lift them up.”
By the end of their segment, they ascended into the sky to deliver a message of hope, with jokes.
“What’s happening, kids, is wrong,” they said as they soared over the Weekend Update desk. “And you don’t need to be scared. Our job is to protect you and your job is to focus on being a kid. It’s kind of like me flying in the SNL sky: There’s a bunch of dudes asking you about your crotch and controlling when and where you’re allowed to pee. But if you just hang on, you’ll look up and realize you’re flying, kid!”

You’ve probably heard the story before: Donald Trump claims someone, usually a big fan or someone who needs his help, ran up to him crying. He’s told this tale so many times it’s probably never happened. And he told it yet again last week during his sit-down with one of his angriest critics, Tucker Carlson. (Guess what? It’s probably bull.) Luckily Weekend Update pulled a Daily Show and cut together a montage of the many times he’s unleashed this probable whopper.
“Why is everyone in Donald Trump’s stories always crying?” asked bewildered co-anchor Colin Jost. He also called into question why someone would brag about constantly making people weep. “You’re bragging that when people see you they just burst into tears? It never sounds like excited crying like when teenagers see BTS. It sounds more like scared crying like when hostages see Jigsaw.”
This week’s segment also touched on Jack Teixeira, the Air National Guardsman arrested for leaking Pentagon secrets. Teixeira is 21 but he looks so young that Jost said he assumed he was playing a Guardsman “in a school play.” He also talked about the Discord group where Teixeira allegedly dropped the secrets, which he described as a place “where young men can play war-themed video games, bond over their love of guns, and post racist memes.” He then lamented, “And now it’s ruined.”
Co-anchor Michael Che, meanwhile, discussed such matters as NYC’s first-ever “rat czar,” which he joked “was a title formerly known as Miss Staten Island,” drawing gasps.

Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
10: TIE. Shazam! Fury of the Gods (WBD film streaming on Amazon Prime and VOD)
This sequel already had the misfortune of essentially being a placeholder before James Gunn’s DCU takes effect, and the final product turned out to be simply alright for that purpose. The box-office dollars aren’t there, but completists might still want to see what Billy Batson is up to these days. The film arrives on HBO Max on May 23 (when the service makes the official switch to the Max label), but in the meantime, the film has hit the VOD airwaves.
Period data fans, rejoice. This series is based upon the real-life, 1940s, Vichy France-focused story of the Emergency Rescue Committee as portrayed in Julie Orringer’s The Flight Portfolio novel. At the forefront: an American journalist finds himself torn while deciding who to rescue (the artists, as assigned, or ordinary people) from Nazi clutches. Don’t expect a followup because this project was designed as a 7-part limited series.
9. 65 (Sony Pictures film streaming on Amazon Prime and VOD)
A subpar Adam Driver movie is still an Adam Driver movie, and the clicks have arrived accordingly. This one won’t capture interest for too long, but if you are jonesing for some wonky-yet-big-budget sci-fi — Driver plays a pilot who must fight dinosaurs after somehow crash-landing 65 million years in Earth’s past — you can go to the right place. The plot has been criticized as predictable with repetitive action scenes, but Driver never does any role halfway, so expect him to be his usual brand of intense, even if you might eventually be longing for the comic levity of his Girls temper tantrum instead.
8. Yellowjackets (Showtime series streaming on Paramount+)
Revelations about Shauna are getting darker by the day (Melanie Lynskey is killing it, as she always does), and this week’s episode also introduced the adult Van while Lottie’s inner turmoil, both past and present (as portrayed by Courtney Eaton and Simone Kessell, respectively) threatens to truly consume her. Also, what is really going on with Elijah Wood’s Walter Tattersall? Christina Ricci’s Misty may have found her match, and that might not be a good thing.
7: A Good Person (MGM film streaming on Amazon Prime and VOD)
This Zach Braff film is based upon a depressing premise for Florence Pugh’s character, a PTSD-afflicted woman involved in a tragic accident and who is also ravaged by pain-pill addiction. Still, Florence Pugh’s name is always worth the price of admission, even in films as middling as Don’t Worry Darling. Braff wrote the role for her while working out some of his own pain, and that was good with Pugh, who only enjoys intense roles and has no intentions of moving into romcom land.
Kiefer Sutherland can’t help but be good at those adrenaline-fueled TV shows full of intrigue. Here, he plays a a corporate espionage maestro who ends up being framed for murder, and his presence lends a tongue-in-cheek vibe in a show that doesn’t take the serious road like most of its contemporaries. And that makes for a fine addition to the Paramount+ stable of growing shows, which might someday not be 90% Taylor Sheridan projects. That’s clearly working for them, though!
Good Sport Dave Burd’s brainchild returns for more enduring awkwardness and the ultimate second-hand embarrassment, this time when his real-life experiences as meta-rapper Lil Dicky inspire his TV character’s inaugural, cross-country tour. If you haven’t invested yourself in this series yet, you’re missing out. It’s sweet and funny and insightful while taking a rollicking ride across the through American culture in a way that few other projects would dare to do.
This show has already made the all-time Top 10 list of Netflix’s English-speaking original series, and there’s a good reason for that. It’s digestible with an appealing cast (Gabriel Basso portrays the title character), and streaming audiences simply cannot get enough espionage. Between this, Rabbit Hole, Jack Ryan, and Slow Horses, there’s plenty to keep everyone busy until Tom Cruise and Chris McQuarrie’s next Mission: Impossible movie draws this target audience into theaters.
This Thai series should prove irresistible for those craving more of The Menu‘s foodie-fueled debauchery that skewers the world of too-expensive dining. On that latter note, anyone who cannot wait for the intensity of The Bear to return should enjoy this one too because the aforementioned chef might remind you of a certain cameo from Joel McHale. Hunger has proven to be similarly satisfying as both of these predecessors while telling the story of a 20s-something woman who steps away from her family’s Bangkok eatery to head under the wing of an infamously antagonistic chef. Dig in.
Ali Wong and Steven Yeun went through the paces while making this A24 series, but the results were worth it. Buckle in for one flipping of the bird that changes everything for two lead characters who are dissatisfied for very different reasons. After a near collision, they spend much of the series attempting to ruin each other’s lives, and it’s a real trip in several ways. Oh yeah, and this show gets very graphic on why one should never eat random berries, among other life lessons.
Last week’s episode pulled the Roy rug our from everyone’s feet — the audience, the characters, the fabric of the cosmos. Everyone kind-of knew that gut punch was coming, mind you, we simply didn’t expect it to happen that early in the show’s final season. From here on out, the chess pieces should really start to move, and man, Gerri is not going to forgive Roman anytime soon, is she? Well, he deserves it, and hopefully, we’ll also get to hear more about the Greglets soon.
