Trump joked that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. personally ran over, butchered, and delivered the evening's beef tenderloin to the dinner — then topped it with a punchline about RFK wanting to serve raccoon roadkill as an appetizer.

Working with Arnold Schwarzenegger showed Alan Ritchson what 100% recognition looks like. People feel Schwarzenegger before they see him — like a meteor approaching.

The Odyssey grossed $265 million in its first week — Nolan's biggest opening. Devindra saw it three times, including in 70mm IMAX. The panel cheers it as proof that human storytelling, a 3,000-year-old story told on 70mm film, is still the most powerful medium in the world.

NETWORKING IS MY IDEA OF A NIGHTMARE | Jacqui Losco · Jul 21, 2026 TV & Film

Jacqui's route to television was anything but linear. She discovered her love for presenting gradually, inspired by a programme she saw and the opportunity to stand in front of a camera with a script — the one social context where her introversion disappears.

The 2009 Sam Rockwell film Moon depicts a fully autonomous energy harvesting base on the moon run by a single human operator, grounded by an AI companion.
