Cincinnati Bengals 34-31 Jacksonville Jaguars: Jake Browning leads Bengals to overtime win as Trevor Lawrence leaves injured
[ad_1]
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson says “everything is stable” with Trevor Lawrence after the quarterback suffered an ankle injury in Monday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals; Pederson has not ruled Lawrence out of Sunday’s clash with Cleveland Browns
Last Updated: 05/12/23 7:48pm
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson says quarterback Trevor Lawrence was “very fortunate” to avoid a more serious injury after damaging his ankle in Monday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Lawrence was injured in the fourth quarter as Jake Browning threw for 354 yards and a touchdown in his second career start to lead the Bengals to a stunning 34-31 overtime win.
Browning also ran for a score as the Bengals (6-6) won on Monday Night Football for the first time since 1990 on Evan McPherson’s 48-yard field goal in the extra frame, with Lawrence’s injury for the Jaguars (8-4) appearing to be potentially the biggest blow of the evening for the home team.
Left tackle Walker Little stepped on Lawrence’s ankle, causing him to twist it as he was sacked. Lawrence tried to get up, but dropped to the ground, ripped off his helmet and threw it in disgust. He was helped off the field and into the tunnel for X-rays.
Pederson said on Tuesday tests on Lawrence’s right ankle showed “everything’s stable, everything’s good”. He added surgery “is not necessarily something that would be warranted at this time”.
“We’ll see where he’s at in a couple days,” Pederson said roughly 12 hours after the game had finished.
The Bengals took the lead with Ja’Marr Chase’s 76-yard touchdown reception, his team’s longest play of 2023 The Bengals took the lead with Ja’Marr Chase’s 76-yard touchdown reception, his team’s longest play of 2023
“[It] looked worse than it really was. Very fortunate there.”
It ended an otherwise stellar night for Lawrence, who completed 22 of 29 passes for 259 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for a score.
Pederson has not ruled Lawrence out of Sunday’s upcoming clash with the Cleveland Browns.
“I’m not going to put that timetable on Trevor,” he added. “Not going to put him in a box like that. We’ll see how he is in a couple of days.”
Browning was equally stout in place of star Joe Burrow, who watched and coached from the sideline while wearing a cast and a sling. Browning completed 32 of 37 passes and directed the overtime drive that set up McPherson’s winner.
McPherson, who played collegiately at nearby Florida, banged a 57-yarder off the crossbar in the same direction early in the game.
Jacksonville backup CJ Beathard completed nine of 10 passes for 63 yards in relief of Lawrence. Beathard put the Jaguars in position for Brandon McManus’ 40-yard field goal with 26 seconds remaining in regulation.
Stats leaders:
Cincinnati Bengals
- Passing: Jake Browning, 32/37, 354 yards, 1 TD
- Rushing: Joe Mixon, 19 carries, 68 yards, 2 TDs
- Receiving: Ja’Marr Chase, 11 catches, 149 yards, 1 TD

Ja’Marr Chase caught 11 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown, a 76-yarder in the third quarter that got the Bengals going. Joe Mixon ran for 68 yards and two scores, and rookie Chase Brown added 61 yards on the ground for the league’s worst rushing attack. Mixon also had six receptions for 49 yards.
The Bengals made it harder than it should have been when coach Zac Taylor called a trick play that turned into a debacle in third.
Browning lateraled to receiver Tyler Boyd, who inexplicably threw directly to pass rusher Josh Allen. Allen caught the ball for his second career interception. The Jaguars scored four plays later when Lawrence jumped and stretched the ball across the goal line.
It was the second bungled trick play for the Bengals, who also lost seven yards when Chase completed a double pass to Browning. Still, the Bengals finished with 491 yards and were eight of 14 on third down.

Jags quarterback C.J. Beathard on injury to Lawrence: “First instinct was ah, it sucks for Trevor when you see him on the ground hurting. That sucks. It kind of takes the breath away from the guys on the sidelines and stuff when you see your starting quarterback hurting like that. But then you quickly flip into going into that two-minute drive to try and tie the game or win the game. Obviously, don’t have much time for the news to kick in, just kind of got to go.”
What next?
The Bengals are back in action at home to the Indianapolis Colts (7-5), while the Jaguars prepare for a spell without Lawrence on the road against the Cleveland Browns (7-5).

Camilo Villegas: PGA Tour golfer reflects on life’s ups and downs after ending nine-year title drought
[ad_1]
Camilo Villegas recently broke a nine-year title drought and shares his journey which includes the passing of his daughter, Mia, in 2020 and why he has the words ‘attitude’ and ‘positive energy’ as tattoos; Watch every PGA Tour event live on Sky Sports Golf in 2024
By Camilo Villegas, PGA Tour golfer
Last Updated: 05/12/23 1:00pm
Camilo Villegas reflects on the ups and downs of life on and off the golf course following his recent Butterfield Bermuda Championship win
I enjoyed two very special weeks in November where I finished runner-up in the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico and then went on to win the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
It’s been a real journey, and life is a journey where it goes up and down. You’ve got to go back to that Colombian kid who came to the US with a dream, played college golf, played the Korn Ferry Tour in 2005 and then everything kicked off on the PGA Tour and I managed to win a couple of FedExCup Playoffs events in 2008.
You would think that kid was on top of the world – and I was at a point in time. I was feeling pretty good from a performance point of view.
After claiming his first victory in nine years, Camilo Villegas shared why his win in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship was such an emotional moment for him. After claiming his first victory in nine years, Camilo Villegas shared why his win in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship was such an emotional moment for him.
But as I look at where I am now and everything that has happened, I believe I’m a better person. Maybe the results haven’t been there but this journey has been interesting.
To lose my PGA Tour card, to go through an injury, to lose my baby daughter in 2020, to create Mia’s Miracles (a charitable initiative to help others facing challenges), to go back to the Korn Ferry Tour, to keep grinding, to have doubts, to have fears, to have tears, have smiles – you just never know where life takes you.
Despite all the doubts, I never stopped waking up early, 5-5.30am, in the morning to do what I like to do because in all honesty, the cool thing about those two weeks is not so much the results but the process and what’s been behind those results.
As much as I enjoy reflecting on my win and the energy that I have received from the world of golf and those outside of golf, trust me, it’s been unbelievable. I had 900 messages on my phone and I’m going to reply to all of them.
To lose my PGA Tour card, to go through an injury, to lose my baby daughter in 2020, to create Mia’s Miracles, to go back to the Korn Ferry Tour, to keep grinding, to have doubts, to have fears, to have tears, have smiles – you just never know where life takes you.
Camilo Villegas
It’s unbelievable to be honest. You kind of stop believing after nine years but I never stopped waking up early and putting in the work. You’ve got to keep a path and keep your mind to where it needs to be. I’m a hard worker and I love having a purpose every morning and that’s kind of what I did.
I’ve got tattoos on my arms which says ‘attitude’ and ‘positive energy’ and sometimes, I forget to look at them. There are a lot of things you can’t control in life, but I guess these two, you can.
You’ve got to have good attitude in life, and it’s easier said than done at times. And energy, you can bring the energy not only to yourself but to the people around you and that’s something we all should strive for.
There were bumps but that’s life. I wish my little Mia is here with us but she’s not and she’s truly in a better place after a long battle that she wasn’t going to win.
I accepted that. We turned that tragedy into something very positive with Mia’s Miracles. My wife reads messages from people we help on Mia’s Miracles every week and I go, ‘Man, if Mia was here, we wouldn’t be able to do this’.
At the beginning of the year, things were not going great and I made a little swing change. I’ve never been too excited about big swing changes but I trusted the guy I started working with, Jose Campra, and he told me he needed a year. I’m glad it took less than that, as here we are with a trophy.
Interestingly, I never felt so comfortable being in contention during those two weeks. It’s weird, even strange. When I was in contention back in the day, I didn’t have this calmness.
I’ve got to analyse what happened and try to replicate it more often. I was good at reacting to missed putts or lip-outs, which I’m not used to being like that before. There was a calmness in me.
Highlights from the fourth round of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Course, Bermuda. Highlights from the fourth round of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Course, Bermuda.
It was nice to have the Latin players come out to celebrate with me on the 18th green. I guess it was also payback as I sprayed Nico Echavarria with champagne when he won the Puerto Rico Open and he got me back. It’s great as it’s two wins for two Colombians this year, both guys growing up on the same golf course in Medellin.
I tell my wife all the time that if we do things in the right way, people will look at you in a positive way and respect you. I think that’s what I try to do. I enjoy being around the younger generation and sharing what I’ve lived.
Life is about experiences. You get good and bad ones and you try to learn from both. I was young once too and I had guys who helped me throughout my career.
I always want to accomplish more but I’m at peace with what I’ve accomplished already. It’s all about sharing it with others, especially the Latin kids who represent our region and grow the game of golf in South America.

Mosconi Cup 2023: Jayson Shaw ready to give as good as he gets for Team Europe’s defence against Team USA
[ad_1]
Marc Bazeley
Team Europe vice-captain Jayson Shaw is anticipating another rowdy atmosphere when he and his team-mates take on America’s best nine-ball players in defence of the Mosconi Cup; Watch the 2023 Mosconi Cup live on Sky Sports Arena from Wednesday, December 6 (6.30pm)
Last Updated: 04/12/23 5:38pm
Team Europe vice-captain Jayson Shaw is ready for another rowdy Mosconi Cup clash with Team USA
In the three-decade history of the Mosconi Cup, there is arguably no one who has got under the skin of their opponents quite like Earl Strickland.
The American pool icon’s confrontations with opposing players and referees, and outbursts at the crowd, made him something of a pantomime villain for Team Europe supporters too. So, it would perhaps be wise not to try to provoke the master of the mind games.
That is, of course, unless you happen to be Jayson Shaw. Because, last year, the Scottish cueist showed no compunction about mimicking Strickland in putting his ear to the crowd when he beat the three-time nine-ball world champion on enemy turf in Las Vegas last year.
Jayson Shaw mimicked his opponent Earl Strickland as Team Europe had the better of Day 2 of the 2022 Mosconi Cup against the USA. Jayson Shaw mimicked his opponent Earl Strickland as Team Europe had the better of Day 2 of the 2022 Mosconi Cup against the USA.
This year’s playing vice-captain for Europe embraces that side of the annual clash with the best nine-ball players the USA has to offer and is going to be doing his best to get the home fans creating a raucous atmosphere at Alexandra Palace.
“Vegas last year was a little bit rowdy with their fans and I think their fans have started picking up that they need to be more like the European fans,” Shaw told Sky Sports News ahead of the 2023 Mosconi Cup, which starts on Wednesday, December 6 live on Sky Sports.
“This year, I’m going to make sure the fans are really on it. I get a lot of stick, but I give a lot too.
“You’ve got to take the good with the bad and there’s always a lot of rivalry in the team, but now you’ve got a little bit more.”
Strickland will not be adding to his 15 appearances for Team USA at this year’s tournament, but Shaw already has his eye on winding up another member of the opposition in former Team Europe player Fedor Gorst.
The Russia-born 2019 world nine-ball champion represented Europe in the Covid-affected 2020 tournament behind closed doors in Coventry as the hosts triumphed 11-3. However, gaining permanent residency in the USA means Gorst has been able to switch allegiance.
That means the player who was at one point ranked No 2 in Europe’s Race to the Mosconi Cup standings will be lining up for Jeremy Jones’ team as they seek to regain the trophy they last held in 2019, and Shaw has already been engaging in some good-natured ribbing of Gorst.
“Terrible,” Shaw said jokingly of his reaction to Gorst switching sides, adding: “Obviously, it’s his decision, right?
This year, I’m going to make sure the fans are really on it. I get a lot of stick, but I give a lot too.
Team Europe vice-captain Jayson Shaw
“It’s up to him to do what he wants to do, but I don’t think I could ever do that, and I think there are a few other players who couldn’t do that.
“He’s going to pay the price for doing that and he’s going to get a lot of heat for that this week. I’ve already been giving him a lot of stick for that, but he takes it well and he’s a good person.
“He’s a great player and I’m sure he’s going to play well, but I’m going to try to make him play not so well.”
As for his form on the table, Shaw heads into the Mosconi Cup ranked fifth in the World Nineball Tour rankings and having claimed his first title on the tour with a thrilling 13-12 win over Europe team-mate Albin Ouschan in October’s Hanoi Open final.
It could hardly have been better preparation for the upcoming clash with the Americans either, with the two-time Mosconi Cup Most Valuable Player feeling the tournament in the Vietnamese capital city was as close as a singles tournament gets to those matches.
Jayson Shaw won the inaugural Hanoi Open Pool Championship after defeating Albin Ouschan, sparking wild celebrations on top of the pool table! Jayson Shaw won the inaugural Hanoi Open Pool Championship after defeating Albin Ouschan, sparking wild celebrations on top of the pool table!
“When I saw the venue and the crowd it reminded me of the Mosconi Cup and when I went out there it felt like I was playing Mosconi Cup matches,” Shaw said. “It was great preparation for this week.
“At the start of the year, a lot of things weren’t really going for me, but I’ve just tried to stay positive, keep working on my game, working on myself, and I feel like I’m in a good position now.
“I’m playing well, I feel good in myself and I’m looking forward to it.”
Shaw has been playing a big part in Europe’s preparations for their defence of the Mosconi Cup too, setting up a pre-tournament camp at his sister’s pool hall in Scotland where they got plenty of match practice as well as some team bonding in.
Europe made no mistake on the final day of the 2022 Mosconi Cup as they took home the trophy once again. Europe made no mistake on the final day of the 2022 Mosconi Cup as they took home the trophy once again.
That included playing a challenge match against a team of five local nine-ball players mimicking the Mosconi Cup format, in which Europe triumphed 11-4, and the 33-year-old could hardly be happier with how Ralph Eckert’s squad are shaping up ahead of the event.
“I really feel our team have that good bond,” Shaw said. “We don’t have to really take in a rookie and try to help them out, everybody has been there.
“We’ve all won big tournaments all year and been in that position of playing in big finals. I feel like we’re really there and ready to play.”

England’s young netball players are ‘scary’ good, says Eleanor Cardwell ahead of South Africa series
[ad_1]
England’s Fran Williams, Eleanor Cardwell and Sasha Glasgow look ahead to the three-match series against South Africa in December with added excitement around the squad after the Netball World Cup in the summer
England’s Fran Williams, Eleanor Cardwell and Sasha Glasgow look ahead to the three-match series against South Africa in December with added excitement around the squad after the Netball World Cup in the summer
Eleanor Cardwell is convinced England’s ‘scary raw talent’ will be an exciting prospect when they face South Africa on Tuesday.
The Vitality Roses welcome South Africa in their first home series since winning a Netball World Cup silver medal with the three-match tournament starting in Manchester before heading to Nottingham for back-to-back weekend games.
Captain Natalie Metcalf and goal shooter Helen Housby announced in November they will be taking extended breaks from netball.
“I think these young guns have got something to prove,” said Cardwell.
“I’ve been impressed with them for years. I’ve been watching the Super League and I’ve played with Berri [Neil] with Manchester Thunder. I’ve been raving about them.
“They’ve all got such raw talent and to be put into this competitive environment they’re having to develop their game in that situation as well.
“It’s very exciting for the country and for netball. The more experience they get on the international stage then the more confident they’re going to feel in that space as well, so that’s going to make them grow and it’s quite scary actually.”
Cardwell was part of the Vitality Roses that finished runners-up at the Netball World Cup in South Africa earlier this year
England were beaten 59-52 by New Zealand in a series decider as the Silver Ferns retained the Taini Jamison Trophy in Hamilton in September.
However, the squad remains excited about facing South Africa and are heading into the clash with a blended team.
“We’ve got people who were involved in the World Cup, reserves, girls who have just come off the Test series in New Zealand,” said team-mate Fran Williams.
“There’s such a range of experience and also match readiness within the squad. We’re raring to go and it’s a new style of play.

“South Africa are always a challenge and I think if you look at the history of English and South African battles in netball, it’s very competitive. We’ve even had some draws against them in the past so they’re always up for the challenge and so will we be.”
Cardwell added: “We’ve built in some experience with some inexperience which is amazing because it’s like we’ve got fight and passion. We’ve got a mixture of everything.
“So, if you can get that balance right I think we’ll attack South Africa in an aggressive way and put it to them. The camp is full of excitement.”
The Vitality Roses did not come up against South Africa in the World Cup but Cardwell remains aware of the threat they pose and the squad will be using video analysis to plot out their tactics.

“They’re also full of experience and inexperience. They’ve got a lot of talent that they’ve had there for years but also a lot of talent that is new and I’ve not played against them before,” Cardwell said.
“They have now got a lot more players over in the Super League so that’s great for them and for international netball.
“It’s going to be a lot of video analysis and looking at what they can do and what their strengths and weaknesses are and how we can combat them. It’s going to be a challenge especially because they can throw anyone on.”
Cardwell added: “It’s going to be exciting to watch because there’s a lot to show on both sides and it’s not just going to be one-sided. Both teams will be battling it out and see where they are at that moment in time.”
The 29-year-old featured in the Sky Sports documentary ‘Fit for Purpose’ where she spoke about the importance of the sports bra and the reaction she got to speaking about it openly on social media.

Reflecting on the success of World Cup, Cardwell said it was a proud moment when she realised how much outreach and interaction there was.
“I was loving the amount of people jumping on to netball. It reached a lot more people and showed just how proud everyone was of us, especially after the previous year, I don’t think people were expecting us to get on to the podium,” Cardwell reflected.
“We got a lot of messages saying the hard work was worth it and a lot of fans were getting on board too. We were disappointed not winning the gold but getting a silver medal around the neck was very rewarding. It was a proud moment.”
Despite all the success Cardwell has accumulated since making her debut in a Home Nations clash against Northern Ireland in 2016, the mornings are still often filled with nerves.
“I definitely get nervous, it tends to be in the morning when I wake up. When we’re together in the changing room there’s a little bit of anticipation,” she said.
“The opposition doesn’t matter, we’ve got each other so the nerves settle and as soon as the whistle goes, you’re doing your job and playing a sport that you love. So, it’s no different to every other day in your life and I think the nerves just go.”

Tigers Woods focused on golf merger talks amid Jon Rahm-LIV rumours
[ad_1]
Jon Rahm reportedly considering LIV offer of around $600m; USA pair Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele two more names that have been tied to LIV rumours; Woods: “Hypothetically would it surprise me? Yes, but there’s so many different things that have happened”
Last Updated: 02/12/23 12:04am
Jon Rahm has been linked with a move to LIV, with Tiger Woods saying the rumours ‘surprise’ him
Tiger Woods says he would be surprised if rumours that several big-name players are on the verge of signing with LIV Golf prove to be true.
Some media reports have suggested Jon Rahm, the reigning Masters champion and world’s No 3-ranked player, is weighing an offer of around $600m to sign with the Saudi-backed league. United States Ryder Cup stalwarts Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are two more names that have been tied to LIV rumours.
Without being asked about specific players, Woods was asked if the rumours surprise him.
“Hypothetically would it surprise me? Yes, but there’s so many different things that have happened in the last 48 hours, but also in the last few weeks,” Woods said after his second round at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. “Things have changed and will continue to change.”
PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said earlier this week that a December 31 deadline to finalise an agreement with the Public Investment Fund and the DP World Tour remains “a firm target”.
“Our deadline’s coming up here soon, so there’s a lot of moving parts,” Woods said. “A lot of different things are happening very quickly because we know, you know, I think today’s the first day in December. We don’t have a whole lot of time.”
Woods, who had no knowledge of the framework agreement at the time of the announcement in June, has since joined the PGA Tour’s Policy Board as a player director. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy left the board and was recently replaced by Jordan Spieth.
Woods instead preferred to focus on the upcoming deadline for golf’s merger between the PGA Tour, DP World Tour and PIF
Spieth, who is tied for the lead at Albany Golf Club, acknowledged that losing Rahm to LIV would be a big blow to the PGA Tour.
“I’m not sure specifically how it would impact those negotiations, but all in all, Jon Rahm is one of the biggest assets that we have on the PGA Tour,” he said.
“So it would be really not very good for us in general because we want to play against the best players in the world and that’s what Jon is.
“I know there’s been some guys that have talked to him. I know he’s maybe weighing some decisions, maybe not. I really don’t know, so I don’t want to insult him and say he’s weighing decisions if he already knows he’s not or he is. You know, that’s somewhat out of my control in a way.
“Obviously, I could speak probably on behalf of 200-plus PGA Tour players in saying that we really hope that he’s continuing with us.”
Jordan Spieth, who has joined the PGA Tour’s Policy Board as a player director, says Rahm moving to LIV would ‘really not be very good’
Scottie Scheffler said this week that he’s “extremely grateful” for Woods’ involvement, and the world’s No 1-ranked player is in the Bahamas competing in his first stroke play event since the Tour Championship. Noticeably absent, however, are Rahm, Cantlay and Schauffele.
Rahm did not commit to this year’s event, while Cantlay and Schauffele withdrew last month, further fueling speculation they may join LIV.
Rahm also recently pulled out of the Woods and McIlroy backed TGL, citing the time commitment, although the league has since delayed its debut until 2025 after the roof of its facility collapsed and caused damage. Cantlay and Schauffele are among the marquee players who had committed to the league.
While acknowledging the rumours swirling, Woods sidestepped a second question about whether he’d be surprised by more marquee defections to LIV.
“Nothing has really surprised me other than the fact that there’s so many different things that have happened so fast,” he said. “That’s one of the things that all of our – all of us as player-directors we’ve been working on, just that everything is now at a time crunch.
“It’s 24 hours a day just trying to figure it out.”

Candy Cane Lane, Netflix’s May December, and every new movie to watch this weekend
[ad_1]
Happy December, Polygon readers. Christmas movie season is here, and there are tons of new Christmas movies slated to come out over the next month.
This week, there are four in that category: the critically acclaimed The Holdovers, Eddie Murphy’s Candy Cane Lane, Netflix’s Family Switch, and the horror movie It’s a Wonderful Knife. But that’s not all that’s new this week: Carol director Todd Haynes has a buzzy new movie out on Netflix, there’s a second movie with musical numbers named Leo dropping on Netflix in as many weeks, and big franchise reboots Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and The Exorcist: Believer make their streaming platform debuts.
That’s only touching the surface — December is usually a busy time for new movies to watch at home, and this year is no different. Let’s dig into it.
New on Netflix
May December
Where to watch: Available to stream on Netflix

Genre: Drama
Run time: 1h 57m
Director: Todd Haynes
Cast: Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, Charles MeltonOne of our great modern filmmakers is back with another thorny story — this about an actor (Natalie Portman) studying a woman (Julianne Moore) she is going to play in a film. The woman (based loosely on convicted sex offender Mary Kay Letourneau) is known for her scandalous relationship with her husband (Charles Melton), who she first met when he was a minor. Melton has already won multiple awards for his portrayal of the husband, and as it’s a Todd Haynes movie, you can expect a sumptuous, at times uncomfortable watch led by fantastic performances.
Leo
Where to watch: Available to stream on Netflix
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25125193/leo.jpg)
Image: Seven Screen Studios
Genre: Thriller
Run time: 2h 39m
Director: Lokesh Kanagaraj
Cast: VijayNo, you are not seeing double. Yes, last week, Netflix premiered its “Adam Sandler as a talking lizard” animated musical Leo. This week, the Tamil box-office hit Leo, a remake of David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence, lands on the platform.
Both Leos on Netflix prominently feature musical numbers, but they couldn’t be more different movies. In this one, a coffee shop owner and family man (Vijay) dispatches a group of killers at his business, making him an overnight sensation. This raises the interest of a gangster, who believes the man is his long-lost son.
Leo is the third movie in director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s LCU, after Kaithi and Vikram. There are a few repeat characters in this one, but neither of the previous movies are necessary to understand it (but they are both better, so I’d say they’re worth checking out).

Genre: Action-adventure
Run time: 2h 34m
Director: James Mangold
Cast: Harrison Ford, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Mads MikkelsenHarrison Ford’s final outing as Indiana Jones sees the whip-wielding archaeologist adventurer embark on one last intrepid expedition with his estranged goddaughter Helena (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) as they race across the world in search of an ancient artifact before a Nazi rocket scientist (Mads Mikkelsen) gets his nefarious hands on it.
From our review:
Mangold is a very fine director capable of helming solid crowd-pleasers (Ford v Ferrari, Walk the Line) and even breathing new life into the dying X-Men franchise with Logan. But Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny looks anonymous. Its visual style is drab in a way that drains the film of any personality. When Indiana Jones makes his way through boobytrapped caves in torchlight in Raiders of the Lost Ark, the contrast between the outside world and this creepy tomb evokes a singular wonder. But virtually every scene in darkness here is scantily lit and hard to see. And like many a modern blockbuster, Dial of Destiny leans on rapid cuts that heighten the pace of Indiana’s brawls with the Nazis, but the choreography is barely discernible.

Cast: Leslie Odom Jr., Ellen Burstyn, Ann DowdAfter a short theatrical run, David Gordon Green’s new entry in the Exorcist franchise arrives at home. It’s a bizarre twist on the franchise, per our review:
Up until this most recent movie, the title The Exorcist carried some weight. While its role as a representation of quality was up for debate, its mark as a sign of ambition was not. Since the original Exorcist, the series has provided some of American cinema’s best and most interesting artists with space to ruminate on faith and evil. Believer lacks the ambition that’s meant to define an Exorcist movie. This is the most profound statement the movie has to offer, seemingly by accident: If the result of moving past God is that everything in the world will feel as empty and pointless as The Exorcist: Believer, we should cling to faith forever.

Genre: Comedy
Run time: 1h 31m

A trio of comedic powerhouses star in this movie about high school girls who start a fight club to try and impress the popular girls at school they have crushes on. Chaos ensues.
From our review:
Bottoms is strongest when it fully indulges that satire. Part of the high school’s hype strategy for the big football game involves plastering the halls with heavily sexualized shirtless posters of the star quarterback. A classroom scene inexplicably involves one of the students standing in a cage. After a particularly climatic moment, a sad montage plays out, set to none other than Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated,” a needle drop so ridiculously 2000s that it transcends time and space.

Director: Emma Tammi
Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper RubioThe massive hit video game series finally gets a horror movie adaptation, and Universal is going with the 2021 release model of simultaneous home and theatrical releases. Will it work for them? Only time will tell, but what it means for you is that you can watch a movie about the infamous, creepy pizza restaurant and its cursed animatronic animals either at home or in theaters.
From our review:
The movie’s funniest line is unintentional, when Mike earnestly explains, “I’m having a hard time just processing everything that’s happened,” as if he’s working through a tough breakup rather than a series of increasingly bizarre animatronic attacks. He’s right, though. For a movie with such a simple, appealing premise, Five Nights at Freddy’s is a lot to process.

F1 2023 awards: Best race, best Martin Brundle moments, biggest surprise and shocks, plus lots more
[ad_1]
Driver of the year: Max Verstappen. Not much else to say, is there? An extraordinary campaign from him and Red Bull.
Chaos of the year: There are two parts to this award which goes to the Dutch Grand Prix. The opening laps when rain came down and some drivers pitted for intermediates and got a massive undercut. Or, the sudden downpour with 10 laps to go as Zhou Guanyu speared into the barriers and the race was forced to be red flagged. It doesn’t sound that crazy from the description we’ve just given, but trust us, it was chaotic! Just try blogging it.

Weather of the year: It’s not often you look out of a media centre window and can’t see the track anymore. A storm in Sao Paulo during the end of Friday Qualifying caused the session to come to a halt and Fernando Alonso exclaimed “it’s night time!”
Race of the year: The Singapore Grand Prix. We are not saying this because it’s the only one Red Bull didn’t win, it was genuinely a thriller to the end as Carlos Sainz, Lando Norris, George Russell and Lewis Hamilton had a big four-way scrap for the lead in the closing stages. Russell pushed a bit too hard though and crashed on the final lap.

Grid walk moment of the year: Air guitar anyone? Machine Gun Kelly was keen to see Martin’s collaborate with him on the grid in Sao Paulo. Understandably, for the treasure that is Martin, he declined and Machine Gun Kelly gave the camera a thumbs down.

Dramatic finish of the year: 42 years old? Age doesn’t matter if you’re Fernando Alonso and he brilliantly took third place at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix after re-passing Sergio Perez on the final lap before holding him off at the line by 0.053s.

Achievement of the year: Ten wins on the spin is some going. Verstappen was unbeatable from May’s Miami Grand Prix to the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in September.
It’s really not AI image of the year: Toto and Christian. Honest, it’s real!
Calendar of the year: Valtteri Bottas’. Enough said. Sales of the cheeky 2024 offering raised a very impressive £119,000 for Movember too.
Yodeling of the year: Only one winner here and that’s our very own Craig Slater. Yodeling is a big tradition in Austria and it was only right that Craig had a go himself, or maybe not…
Ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, Sky Sports’ Craig Slater takes on some yodelling lessons while in Austria Ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, Sky Sports’ Craig Slater takes on some yodelling lessons while in Austria
Toughest race of the year: A flat-out race in Qatar, due to limits on tyre stints, and the high-speed track led to a massive challenge for the drivers. Esteban Ocon threw up in his helmet and Logan Sargeant couldn’t finish the race. Luckily, Qatar will take place in December next year, so it should be slightly cooler.
Fashion of the year: We’re not talking about Ted Kravitz’s shorts and sandals, but we’re on about an unbuttoned orange shirt and leather trousers when he met Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu in London.
Sky F1’s Ted Kravitz meets Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu in London as they go to the gym, talk fashion and eat food! Sky F1’s Ted Kravitz meets Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu in London as they go to the gym, talk fashion and eat food!
Rookie of the year: You could argue Liam Lawson for this but Oscar Piastri was pretty good as well, particularly as McLaren team-mate Norris has become one of the most highly rated F1 drivers on the grid. A Sprint win in Qatar was the highlight for Piastri and it will be fascinating to see how he gets on in 2024.
Rumour of the year: No, not whether or not Lewis Hamilton was going to Ferrari, but whether Fernando Alonso was dating Taylor Swift. Never has a back catalogue of songs been quoted so frequently in the space of four days as was the case in Baku.
Sky F1’s commentary team were in great form in Azerbaijan, making repeated references to rumours that Fernando Alonso has been dating Taylor Swift Sky F1’s commentary team were in great form in Azerbaijan, making repeated references to rumours that Fernando Alonso has been dating Taylor Swift
Qualifying of the year: Monaco quite literally was qualifying of the year – although we’ve had some great ones in 2023 – but the drama of Verstappen brushing the barriers in the final sector to steal pole from Alonso was breathtaking.
Surprise of the year: Hamilton pipped Verstappen to pole position by 0.003s at the Hungaroring to end his pole-less run. It was a brilliant lap from Hamilton, even with a little wide moment at the final corner.
Watch Lewis Hamilton’s pole lap in full as he makes it a record ninth at the Hungaroring Watch Lewis Hamilton’s pole lap in full as he makes it a record ninth at the Hungaroring
Opener of the year: How can you not love a bit of Richard Ashcroft and his iconic ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ ahead of the British Grand Prix. Norris and Hamilton were on the podium too at Silverstone which was a brilliant moment.
Photographer of the year: Another Martin moment for you. This time at the Monaco Grand Prix when MB went up to interview an 89-year-old photographer, who enjoyed the conversation so much that she asked for his card!
Martin Brundle meets an 89-year-old photographer and the results are hilarious! Martin Brundle meets an 89-year-old photographer and the results are hilarious!
Big number of the year: That would be the 1,200+ incidents of track limit breaches reviewed by stewards in the 71-lap Austrian GP. That worked out at 17 a lap!
Not taking no for an answer of the year: Stewart, Federer, security, and Martin’s Miami GP Grid Walk.

Overtake of the year: Leclerc threw everything at the Red Bulls in Vegas and caught Perez by surprise on the last lap into the final braking zone. From some distance back, boom, Leclerc chucked his Ferrari in there and beautifully got the car stopped to take second place.

Saga of the year: Andretti’s bid to enter F1. The outcome of which is still to be resolved.
Trophy smash of the year: Norris’ trademark celebration of slamming the champagne on the ground in Hungary didn’t quite go right as he knocked over Verstappen’s winning trophy. The $45,000 trophy was replaced thankfully and it’s fair to say Norris was more careful in future podiums during the season.

Verstappen and GP moment of the year: We enjoyed this almost married couple relationship throughout the season and the best of it probably came in Belgium qualifying when Verstappen scraped into Q3. Verstappen wasn’t happy about his preparation laps – s*** execution” was how he bluntly described them – and Gianpiero Lambiase, his race engineer, fired back. Verstappen apologised as he inevitably then topped the final stage.
National anthem of the year: Antoine Delie’s alternative Belgium national anthem performance was quite something. However, it did look like Alonso and Russell were trying not to laugh!

Podium of the year: Canada, where multiple champions Verstappen, Alonso and Hamilton were joined by multiple-title-winning designer Adrian Newey. You needed a calculator to work out the combined number of world titles.
Mistaken weather forecast of the year: Only George Russell thought it was raining at the Spanish Grand Prix. It turned out just to be sweat on the inside of his visor instead.
Announcement of the year: Now we’re not talking about a piece of news here but an actual announcement. Famous sports announcer Bruce Buffer shouted “Sergio Checo Perez” right in the driver’s face ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix. To make it worse, Perez appeared to think he was going to be interviewed, so stood next to Buffer for 20 awkward seconds.

Shock exits of the year: Nothing quite compares to the triple departures announced by Alpine on the Friday of the Belgian GP. Team boss Otmar Szafnauer and long-serving sporting director Alan Permane were out at the end of that very weekend, while Pat Fry was headed to Williams.

Settin’ Things Straight! T.I. Addresses Viral Scuffle With Son King Harris
[ad_1]
Rapper T.I. is addressing the viral footage of a recent scuffle involving himself, his wife, Tiny Harris, and their son King. As The Shade Room previously reported, the family’s heated exchange was captured on Instagram Live Sunday.
RELATED: King Harris Responds After Heated Exchange With T.I. & Tiny Goes Viral (Watch)
What You May Have Missed About The Harris Family’s Recent Viral Scuffle
At the time, the family attended an Atlanta Falcons game at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. There, King Harris began streaming conversation with his parents as he alleged that he was not raised in their home, but instead by his grandmother.
In turn, T.I. and Tiny alleged that King was raised with a “silver spoon.” Additionally, they revealed that King threw tantrums to go to his grandmother’s house because there “he could suck a pacifier… until he was 12 years old.”
The conversation quickly esclated as King accused his parents of lying. At some point, the stream’s view became obstructed as it appeared the group engaged in a physical scuffle.
“Man, get off me,” King was be heard telling his father.
King Harris’ Response To The Altercation
Later that day, King took to Instagram to accuse his father of “faking an image for the internet.”
“If ima mistake say dat stop making the world think u fw me when u DONT… N***a be faking a image for da internet &. It AINT Me,” Harris wrote in one of many posts on his Instagram Story.
Furthermore, on Tuesday, King even returned to Instagram to seemingly imply that he’s charging $10,000 to speak on the viral incident in an interview.

T.I. Speaks Out As King Harris & His Older Brother Prepare A Music Release
On the contrary, both T.I. and Tiny remained silent about the incident in the following days. However, it looks like T.I. is now addressing his and his son’s scuffle.
On Tuesday evening, T.I. took to Instagram to share a clip in promotion of a joint interview he and King participated in with Complex. In the caption of the post, the rapper explained that his family is “tied like a knot.”
Additionally, the rapper said he’ll “RIDE to da heavens or da depths of HELL” about his song.
“Fck what dis internet talkin bout… Da HFamily Tied Like a Knot… We all We Got…4LIFE… Ima RIDE to da heavens or da depths of HELL bout my Jr.& ain’t nothing gon change that. Now tune in… to the new episode of #GOATTalk🐐 wit Me & my Jr. @the_next_king10…,” the rapper wrote.
King did not respond to his father’s post but a few hours later took to his Instagram Story.
“Bout to let it off my chest tmr,” King wrote. “Ima speak my peace.”
Then, on Wednesday, King revealed via Instagram that him and his older brother Domani are releasing a song titled “Father Like Sons.” To note, Domani is T.I.’s son from a previous relationship.
“Tonight 12am BE READY…” Harris wrote in the caption of his Instagram post. “IM SPEAKING MY LIFE STORY YALL AINT SEE ON DA TV IDGAF ABOUT WHAT NOBODY SAY ABOUT ME IF U KNOW ME U KNOW HOW I STAND ON DA BUSINESS 💯 HOPE YALL ENJOY 💙 TELL DA MEDIA POST THIS SINCE THEY NEED A STORY 🔥🔥”
At this point, it’s unclear what the pair will be addressing on the single. In King’s audio snippet, listeners only hear that he refers to himself as a “wildcard” since he was young, adding that if you didn’t see the family’s TV show, ‘The Family Hustle,’ “you wouldn’t get the picture.”

Pushin’ Positivity? Young Thug’s Lawyer Breaks Down The Rapper’s Name & Shares The Meaning Of ‘Slime’ On Day Two Of YSL RICO Trial
[ad_1]
More alleged details about Young Thug and his YSL conglomerate are coming to light on day two of the record label’s RICO trial. As The Shade Room previously reported, the rapper and 27 others were arrested in Georgia in May 2022.
Most defendants have severed from the case or taken plea deals, as Young Thug and five others maintain their innocence against racketeering and conspiracy charges.
RELATED: Here We Go! Young Thug’s YSL RICO Trial Kicks Off With Day One Of Opening Statements
Young Thug’s Stage Name Is Explained On Day 2 Of The YSL RICO Trial
As The Shade Room previously reported, day one of opening statements in the YSL trial began on Monday, November 27.
The day primarily consisted of Georgia district attorney Adriane Love’s allegation that Young Thug is the “head” of YSL. Furthermore, the state contends that the group, disguised as a music label called Young Stoner Life Records, is actually an “Atlanta-based street gang” responsible for murder, drug, and firearm violations.
“YSL operated as a pack,” Love reportedly told the courtroom Monday. “…For 10 years and counting, the group calling itself Young Slime Life dominated the Cleveland Avenue community of Fulton County. They created a crater … that sucked in the youth, innocence and even the lives of some of its youngest members.”
Day one’s proceeding was even plagued with the talk of a mistrial. However, the proceeding has pressed on into day two with Young Thug’s defense attorney, Brian Steel, sharing his opening statements.
According to legal reporter Meghann Cuniff, Steel began by explaining to the courtroom that Young Thug was “born into an environment, a community, a society that was filled with oppression, despair, hopelessness and helplessness.”
“Jeffery Williams was born into an environment, a community, a society that was filled with oppression, despair, hopelessness and helplessness.”

From there, Steel reportedly explained the meaning of “Thug” in Young Thug’s stage name as “Truly Humbled Under God.”
“If he could ever make it as a musical artist and help his family, himself and his many others out of this endless cycle of hopelessness, he would be truly humbled under God. That’s what thug means,” Steel explained in footage captured and shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, by Cuniff.

According to journalist Bryson “Boom” Paul, Steel went on to establish Young Thug’s idolization of Lil Wayne as a teenager.

From there, Steel reportedly referenced a now-deleted video of Young Thug taunting Lil Wayne around the time that the latter rapper’s tour bus was riddled with bullets in 2015, per REVOLT.
According to MTV, around that time, Lil Wayne had instructed fans to “stop listening” to Young Thug’s music.
Steel likened the rappers’ “battle” to NFL rivalries in his statements.
Steel tries to distance Thug from 2015 shooting of Lil Wayne’s bus. The video with the guns challenging Wayne was all Thug’s manager’s idea.

However, Steel’s establishment of the rappers’ alleged relationship and Young Thug’s reverence for Lil Wayne did not stop there. Journalist Jewel Wicker reports that Steel explained to the courtroom that Young Thug’s use of “Slime” stemmed from Lil Wayne.
Furthermore, Steel even took the time to explain that Young Thug’s alleged gang affiliation is misperceived.

Here’s What We Know About The YSL RICO Trial
As previously reported by The Shade Room, Young Thug remains one of six defendants in the ongoing trial, which was halted by a ten-month jury selection.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville presides over the case, which now features a 12-person jury.
Furthermore, Rolling Stone reports that the jurors consist of nine women and three men. Additionally, nine of the twelve jurors are Black.
According to CNN, the trial is expected to last months and features a witness list that may spark celebrities such as Lil Wayne taking the stand.

King Harris Responds After Heated Exchange With T.I. & Tiny Goes Viral (Watch)
[ad_1]
King Harris is speaking out following a viral livestream showing him in a heated discussion with his parents, Tiny Harris and rapper T.I.
RELATED: King Harris Catches Backlash After Offering Unhoused Man $50 To Participate In Controversial ‘One Chip Challenge’
More Details Regarding The Heated Exchange
On Sunday, November 26, the Atlanta Falcons met the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Massive crowds showed up for the event, which included rapper Ludacris paying tribute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop as Quavo honored the late Migos member, Takeoff, during halftime.
But the moment that stole the game didn’t seem to take place on the field. At some point during the event, King Harris took to Instagram Live to show he was in attendance at the football game with his parents.
In footage of the livestream obtained by @livebitez, Harris and T.I. seemed to have a discussion regarding his upbringing.
“…To make him look better, he say s**t he know not true,” King Harris told the group surrounding him and his parents. “Silver spoon — I ain’t never ate with that… a day in my life.”
At that point, Tiny Harris intervened to disagree with her son, explaining that he “did” grow up with “a silver spoon.” On the contrary, King disagreed and explained that he grew up primarily at his grandmother’s house.
Tiny and T.I. rejected his statement by explaining that King allegedly “cried… every day” to go to his grandmother’s house.
“I don’t want to be in these gates,” King Harris explained to his parents, seemingly referring to their gated mansion home. “I want to be in the neighborhood — that’s why I want to be over there.”
King Harris’ Discussion With His Parents Seemed To Escalate
As the discussion continued, Tiny grabbed the camera from her son. The mother of three then told live stream viewers the reason King wanted to be at his grandmother’s house was because “he could suck a pacifier over there until he was 12 years old.”
King disagreed with his parents by alleging they weren’t telling the whole story, and instead were trying to “hide it.” As the footage continued, the discussion between the group appeared to escalate, with King yelling at his parents — most specifically, his father, T.I. — accusing them of lying.
At some point, viewers can hear T.I. accusing King of “embarrassing” himself and their family as the view of the camera becomes obstructed. Ultimately, the audio captured seemed to catch King and his father in a physical exchange, with King heard saying, “Man, get off me.”
King Harris Speaks Out Following The Alleged Altercation
After the incident, King Harris took to his Instagram Story with a few words. In his posts, he explained that he stands “on business” and won’t let anyone play in his face or taunt him.
Additionally, Harris seemed to accuse his father of “faking an image for the internet.”
“If ima mistake say dat stop making the world think u fw me when u DONT… N***a be faking a image for da internet &. It AINT Me,” Harris wrote.
Read King Harris’ entire posts below.
Neither T.I. nor Tiny have publicly addressed the alleged altercation with their son. However, T.I. did finish the event strong by leading the Atlanta Falcons out of the tunnel while performing his hit single, “Bring Em Out.”
King Harris has since shown love to his grandmother, Dianne Cottle-Pope, on Instagram by sharing his song, “Grandma Boy.”
“As long as you stay by my side💙 @diannecottlepope love you💙”

You’ve seen Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, now watch these other great Science Saru anime
[ad_1]
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the anime adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s hit comic series by studio Science Saru, premiered on Netflix last friday. Produced and written by O’Malley and co-creator BenDavid Grabinski, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off diverges significantly from the source material, morphing into an adaptation that at once functions as both a sequel and a remake of O’Malley’s original comic.
If you’re new to anime, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off might be your very first introduction to the work of Science Saru, the Japanese animation studio co-founded by Masaaki Yuasa and Eunyoung Choi. In recent years, Science Saru has garnered a reputation as one of the most memorable anime production houses of the past decade, thanks to a wildly idiosyncratic body of films and TV series and Yuasa’s flair for expressive, comically-inclined animation.
If you’ve already watched through the entirety of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off and are looking for something else to watch as you puzzle over what exactly that ending might mean for Scott and his friends, not to worry: We’ve got just the list in mind.
We’ve pulled together our favorite Science Saru anime for you watch, from freewheeling romantic comedies, to macabre supernatural action dramas, and more.
Adventure Time, “Food Chain”

Run time: 11m
Where to watch: MaxWhat better place to start on a journey through the weird and wild animation of Science Saru than the studio’s first production? Directed by studio co-founder Yuasa, this 11-minute episode of the beloved show Adventure Time follows Finn the Human and Jake the Dog supervising a field trip to the Candy Kingdom’s Natural History Museum. After being transformed into birds by the mischievous Magic Man, the pair experience the circle of life firsthand as they transform into bacteria, plants, and eventually caterpillars which eat and are subsequently eaten by bigger birds.
It’s a beautiful and trippy short that hones in on Adventure Time’s distinctive brand of surreal humor while coming across as a great sampler for Yuasa’s particular approach to animated comedy and storytelling.
The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl

Run time: 1h 32m
Where to watch: MaxThe 2010 anime The Tatami Galaxy is commonly regarded as Masaaki Yuasa’s magnum opus and one of the best anime to come out of Science Saru. Adapted from Tomihiko Morimi’s 2004 novel, the 11-episode anime follows the story of an unnamed college student who, paralyzed with indecision, is bounced between multiple parallel universes as he re-experiences his freshman year over and over again. Unfortunately, at this time of writing, The Tatami Galaxy is not available to stream. But The Night is Short, Walk on Girl, the standalone spiritual sequel to the series, is just as good a place to start if you’ve never watched a Science Saru anime before.
The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl follows a hapless senior student at Kyoto University who plans to confess his feelings to his classmate at the school’s yearly night festival. Unfortunately, the two are separated while taking in the local nightlife, creating two parallel storylines of a comedic bar crawl and an over-the-top series of mishaps and shenanigans. If there’s one anime on this list that feels the closest to Scott Pilgrim Takes Off in terms of comedy and premise, it’s this one.
Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23000399/keepyourhandsoffeizouken.jpeg)
Image: Science Saru/Crunchyroll
Number of episodes: 12
Where to watch: CrunchyrollKeep Your Hands Off Eizouken! won its way into our hearts, and onto our list of the best anime of the year, back when it first aired in 2020. Based on Sumito Ōwara’s manga, the 12-episode anime follows a trio of high school girls who form a bond over their mutual love of animation. The series follows the girls’ journey through the wild world of amateur animation, first establishing a “film club” to circumvent the resistance of their teachers and parents, before creating a short film to sell their first commercial anime project.
Aside from being a delightful anime in its own right, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! is a passionate tribute to the craft and dedication of traditional cel animation that puts an unsparing focus on the struggle that goes into taking a creative vision from an idea to reality. Filled with brilliant fourth wall-breaking sequences and charismatic characters, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! is as entertaining as it is educational.
Devilman Crybaby

Image: Science Saru/Netflix
Number of episodes: 10
Where to watch: NetflixLong before Scott Pilgrim Takes Off was even announced, Yuasa’s adaptation of Go Nagai’s apocalyptic superhero manga Devilman was a breakthrough success for both Science Saru and Netflix when it debuted back in 2018. An alternate modern retelling of the original story, Devilman Crybaby centers on Akira Fudo, a lonely high school student who is transformed into a powerful human-demon hybrid shortly after reuniting with his childhood friend Ryo Asuka. A hyper violent dark fantasy with intense action sequences and an ambiguous ending that borders the line between implicitly hopeful and explicitly nihilistic, Devilman Crybaby is a modern classic that’s strongly recommended for fans of anime like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Chainsaw Man, and the supernatural thriller anime X.
Inu-Oh
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/23938691/INU_OH_sub7.jpg)
Image: Science Saru/GKIDS
Run time: 1h 38m
Where to watch: MaxMasaaki Yuasa’s latest film is also, as of this writing, his final production with Science Saru, having announced his retirement from the company shortly before the movie’s premiere in 2021. That doesn’t necessarily mean Yuasa won’t ever direct another project at the studio again, but if it is, Inu-Oh is one hell of a way to cap off his time there. As critic Kambole Campbell noted in his review for Polygon, the film is, “a psychedelic, bombastic rock opera [that] ponders what stories have been lost as society’s more controlling elements attempt to control how art is made and distributed.” Music has always been a large part of Yuasa’s animation, and here, that love for the tightly wound relationship between the visual and the musical erupts into a howling display of breathtaking scenes and foot-stomping musical numbers. If you’re looking for an anime that matches Scott Pilgrim Takes Off’s energetic beat, Inu-Oh is an easy recommendation.
The Heike Story
:no_upscale()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25089471/Biwa_Thumbnail_1080x675.jpg)
Image: Science Saru
Number of episodes: 11
Where to watch: CrunchyrollThe Heike Story is an undersung entry in Science Saru’s body of work. That’s a shame, because it’s an achingly beautiful series that more than deserves appreciation.
Directed by Naoko Yamada (K-On!, A Silent Voice), this adaptation of the classic Japanese epic follows Biwa, a traveling orphan who is brought into the home of lord Shigemori, a powerful lord whose servants killed Biwa’s father. Framed as a classic tragedy, the series follows the members of Shigemori’s family as his empire crumbles from the inside out, with Biwa documenting the various twists and turns of their destruction while playing her lute. The Heike Story was one of the best anime of 2021, and for good reason: It’s a beautiful, complex story of power undone by hubris with a delicate and beautiful art style and an evocative musical score.
Ping Pong the Animation

Image: Science Saru/Funimation
Number of episodes: 11
Where to watch: CrunchyrollPing Pong the Animation is one of the best anime of the past decade. Based on Taiyō Matsumoto’s (Tekkonkinkreet) original manga, it follows the story of two young men: Yutaka “Peco” Hoshino, a cocky self-assured high school student who’s a local Ping Pong whiz, and Makoto “Smile” Tsukimoto, his reserved childhood friend.
The series follows the diverging lives of Peco and Smile, as the former is humbled and eventually forced to grapple with the limitations of coasting on sheer talent alone, and the latter is coaxed out of his shell to live up to his own potential as a ping pong player. Animated entirely in Flash, the series is one of the most unique productions of its era: A coming-of-age psychological drama, brought to life with idiosnycratic blend of misshapen lines and odd proportions that coalesce into an inspired display of visual and emotional storytelling.

Michael Smith exits Players Championship in first round after shock defeat to Richard Veenstra
[ad_1]
World Champion Michael Smith dumped out on opening day of the Players Championship Finals, as Michael van Gerwen kicked off his title defence with victory; we’re back for the World Darts Championship from December 15, 2023 to January 3, 2024 – live on Sky Sports

Michael Smith crashed out of the Players Championship in the first round
World champion Michael Smith crashed out of the Players Championship in the first round after suffering a shock defeat to Richard Veenstra, while Michael van Gerwen kicked off his title defence with victory over Callan Rydz.
Smith, who missed double 12 for a nine-dart finish in the fourth leg, averaged just 85.35 and had a highest checkout of 36 in a worryingly off-colour performance just weeks ahead of the defence of his world title.
World No 83 Veenstra missed five match darts before eventually taking out double 20 to seal a fully-deserved 6-3 victory in Minehead.
Grand Slam of Darts winner Luke Humphries avoided another upset as he recovered from 4-2 down to beat Martin Lukeman 6-4, while Gerwyn Price thrashed Ricky Evans 6-0 and Michael Van Gerwen beat Callan Rydz 6-3.
Reigning champion Van Gerwen avoided a similar fate, averaging 97 to open his bid for a record-extending eighth Players Championship Finals title with a 6-3 win over an out-of-sorts Rydz.
The Dutch superstar will now meet eighth seed Ross Smith, after the former European Champion averaged 98 and produced 120 and 130 finishes to wrap up a 6-2 rout of Scott Williams.
Six weeks after winning his first major darts title, Luke Humphries secured another with victory in the Grand Slam of Darts – could he now go one step further with victory at the World Championships? Six weeks after winning his first major darts title, Luke Humphries secured another with victory in the Grand Slam of Darts – could he now go one step further with victory at the World Championships?
Newly-crowned Grand Slam champion Luke Humphries survived a scare to see off Martin Lukeman, reeling off four straight legs from 4-2 adrift to extend his winning run to eight games.
“I struggled to find my range early on,” admitted Humphries, who averaged 99.67 to complete an impressive fightback.
“The belief is what has changed in my game. When I’m staring defeat in the face I am beginning to find ways to turn it around and win, and I never panicked at any point there.
“I’m a two-time major champion now, but I want to keep riding the crest of a wave, and my will to win is still greater than ever.”
Gerwyn Price is eyeing his first premier televised ranking title since October 2021
Elsewhere, top seed Gerwyn Price underlined his credentials with a whitewash win against Ricky Evans, as he eyes his first premier televised ranking title since October 2021.
“I know I’m playing really well. I’m flying,” insisted Price, who will now take on 2012 runner-up Kim Huybrechts, who fought back from 5-3 down to topple Martin Schindler.
“I’m practising well and every time I am losing, I’m averaging a ton-plus, and it’s taking someone to play really well to knock me out of the tournament.
“The first game is always tough, but I felt quite comfortable tonight and the crowd were brilliant.”
Ireland’s former World Cup finalist Steve Lennon claimed the scalp of UK Open champion Andrew Gilding, reeling off the last three legs without reply to triumph 6-3.
