Rest in peace Raquel Welch. She died Wednesday, February 15 in Los Angeles at the age of 82 after a brief illness.
We remember how funny and enjoyable she was on our interview for How to be a Latin Lover back in 2017. Thank you for all the memorable roles you played.
We are happy that the procedural will now be in its new home and we hear it is “sexier” too, according to its stars and showrunner, as characters Thomas Magnum, played by Jay Hernandez, and Juliet Higgins, played by Perdita Weeks, getting together and starting a romantic relationship. A direction we could see it going, in the last season.
Looking forward to new adventures with the whole crew. Zachary Knighton, Stephen Hill, Tim Kang and Amy Hill also star.
Magnum P.I. new season starts February 19 on NBC at 9/8c. Streaming on Peacock the next day.

This announcement was a source of pride in our office when we heard this news. Here’s a link to NPR’s sweet post on this celebration. Look for it in mid 2024.
A Knock at the Cabin, an interesting movie that lacked my interest. The story was as dull as the characters were stale. Although the movie fell flat, I must say, it was beautifully shot and with a little more elbow grease the concept of the movie would have been captivating.
Synopsis: While vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.
Knock at the Cabin stars Dave Bautista (Dune, Guardians of the Galaxy franchise), Jonathan Groff (Hamilton, Mindhunter), Ben Aldridge (Pennyworth, Fleabag), Nikki Amuka-Bird (Persuasion, Old), newcomer Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn (Little Women, Landline) and Rupert Grint (Servant, Harry Potter franchise). Directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
The screenplay is by M. Night Shyamalan, Steve Desmond and Michael Sherman,based on the national bestseller The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay.
We can’t wait for this season’s premiere of The Mandalorian. Yes! We are very excited for it.
The journeys of the Mandalorian through the Star Wars galaxy continue. Once a lone bounty hunter, Din Djarin has reunited with Grogu. Meanwhile, the New Republic struggles to lead the galaxy away from its dark history. The Mandalorian will cross paths with old allies and make new enemies as he and Grogu continue their journey together.
The series stars Pedro Pascal, Katee Sackhoff, Carl Weathers, Amy Sedaris, Emily Swallow and Giancarlo Esposito.
The directors of the eight-episode Season 3 include Rick Famuyiwa, Rachel Morrison, Lee Isaac Chung, Carl Weathers, Peter Ramsey and Bryce Dallas Howard.
This new film tells Roberta Flack’s story in her own words, it features exclusive access to Flack’s archives and interviews with Reverend Jesse Jackson, Clint Eastwood, Yoko Ono, Angela Davis, Eugene McDaniels, Joel Dorn, Peabo Bryson and more.
American Masters:Roberta Flack follows the music icon from a piano lounge through her rise to stardom. From “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” to “Killing Me Softly,” Flack’s virtuosity was inseparable from her commitment to civil rights. The film provides an intimate look into Flack’s artistry, life and triumphs over racism and sexism within and outside of the recording industry.
I think this is a great documentary on an amazing talent. Her sound makes everything feel so intimate.
It’s that time of the year. We didn’t see everything that was out there. We are still looking at films but here are our publisher’s picks for 2022, that she’s seen.
