Steve is the lovable man who struggles with Ocd. This is one of those conditions that is often used for comedic relief only, but Happy’s Place does something different. As someone who also has Ocd, it was such a relief to see it being touched on in an empathetic way. I chatted with Castleblanco about that, along with just how salty I still am about the Alaska Daily cancellation.

The show Yellowstone might have ended last year but the conversation surrounding the show has only gotten louder. Fans are spotting errors and interesting tidbits on their rewatch that they missed the first time around. Not only did Yellowstone establish Taylor Sheridan as a household name, but also showed the world what the writer-director is capable of.

Sheridan has crafted a world so unique that it spawned connected universes and a spinoff with many people thinking there’s a thin thread connecting every world in Sheridan’s filmography. On the other hand, there’s something else Sheridan has become quite famous for – using the same actors for various roles.

Dear Jack Season 1 Episode 8 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Happy’s Place,” titled “Dear Jack,” promises to bring a mix of heart and humor to NBC’s lineup. In this episode, Bobbie finds herself in a tricky situation when she notices Isabella slowly ending her long-distance relationship. Concerned for her friend, Bobbie steps in with a bold idea: a classic Dear John letter. This plan might just help Isabella find closure, but it also opens the door for some unexpected moments.

Meanwhile, Steve is busy at the tavern, bringing in some exciting news. He shares a glowing review that highlights Chef Emmett’s delicious cooking. The review also gives a special shout-out to Abby, the tavern’s talented bartender. This recognition could mean big things for the tavern, and the characters are eager to see how it will impact their little community.

Movies like Sicario offer explosive action, thought-provoking political intrigue, and awards-pedigree acting talent. Released in 2015, Sicario is a slow-burning thriller about the nuances of drug cartel operations and the border between the U.S. and Mexico. Directed by Denis Villeneuve, the movie focuses on three perspectives: an FBI agent, played by Emily Blunt; a secretive government agent, played by Josh Brolin; and an even shadowier assassin, played by Benicio del Toro. The film was a critical and commercial success, and it got a sequel three years later, Sicario: Day of the Soldado.

Only the best action-thriller movies remain comparable to Sicario, with its stunning cinematography and deeply ugly subject matter. However, many fan-favorite films by director Denis Villeneuve and other acclaimed filmmakers hit the same spots. Several are also available for subscribers on major streaming platforms or even for free, making it easy to find movies like Sicario for fans...
