The shit has hit the fan in Palm Royale. People are getting arrested, generational wealth is getting past down, babies are being born in bathtubsit’s a mess out here. Let’s get into it. We open with another 1949 flashback. Maxine (Kristen Wiig) and Douglas (Josh Lucas) are having a good old fashioned shotgun wedding at the Little Love Knot Wedding Chapel in Vegas. In his vows, Douglas says that Max and their unborn baby, whom he has taken to calling Jack after his father, are giving him a...
I thought that maybe Palm Royale was finally gelling after last week. Everyone was in one location, the humor was clicking, and the reveals felt like payoffs. Alas, it was short lived, as the wheels came off this week in a big way. True to its established structure, we open with another flashback. In 1950, Robert (Ricky Martin) was in Korea, skinny dipping with a guy who’s clearly a little more than a war buddy. This flashback, and the later implication that said buddy did not make it home...

Bo Bichette's three-run triple led the Toronto Blue Jays past the host Kansas City Royals, 5-3, on Monday evening. The Blue Jays took a 3-0 lead in the third after a pair of walks and Cavan Biggio's opposite-field double loaded the bases. With one out, Bichette's slicing liner to right-center tipped off the glove of diving center fielder Garrett Hampson, clearing the bases.

[Editor’s note: This is a recap of Fallout episode five. The recap of episode six publishes April 17.] War never changes. It’s the first line of almost every Fallout video game, a weary reminder—voiced, more often than not, by the great Ron Perlman—that while the circumstances of annihilation might change, the impulses driving humanity toward it probably won’t. It’s an idea Fallout the TV show has mostly only danced around so far, illustrating self-destructive impulses on the part of the...
Prinsjesdag, the tradition-laden state opening of the parliamentary year is to get a facelift after declining crowds and an increase in protests directed at the royals, forces officials to rethink their approach. Every year the king and queen drive through The Hague in a horse-drawn carriage, on their way to perform the opening ceremony. And on their return to their Noordeinde palace, they stand on the balcony for a few minutes and wave at the crowds. But fewer people have
“I have this sneaking suspicion that something is going to happen today,” Milwaukee Dan sagely introduced Wednesday night’s edition of Top Chef: Wisconsin. And he was quickly proven right: Even before host Kristen Kish could delight the chef-testants by bringing out baking great Christina Tosi—the James Beard Award-winning mastermind behind Milk Bar—to announce this week’s dessert-themed QuickFire Challenge, things were looking surprisingly crowded in the Top Chef kitchen. That’s because not...
In Apple TV+’s star-studded show Palm Royale, picking out a favorite performer isn’t easy considering it features Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney, Laura Dern, Carol Burnett, Leslie Bibb, and Ricky Martin. So it’s no wonder Josh Lucas, who co-stars in the dramedy, agrees that it’s a “comedy lab” of sorts. The actor holds his own in Abe Sylvia’s ’60s-set series, which drops its finale on May 8. Palm Royale’s wacky comedy emerges from the women of Palm Beach attempting to climb society’s social...

Patrick Mahomes may be turning back the clock just a little bit. Before he became a three-time Super Bowl champion and put himself in the discussion of one of the greatest quarterbacks ever, the current Kansas City Chiefs star was a stud on the baseball diamond. He was actually a top prospect in the
