The Penguin had another big episode with "Homecoming," which featured Oswald Cobb up to his old tricks: burning mothers and sons alive together as they embrace. In this case, the mother was Nadia Maroni, the matriarch of the Maroni crime family and its acting head while her husband Sal was in prison, and their son and heir Taj, whom Oz had kidnapped to use as a bargaining piece. Nadia came to collect her son personally. She hoped to double-cross Oz, but he got there first.
Nadia was played by Shohreh Aghdashloo, whom you may recognize as ruthless politician with a heart of gold Chrisjen Avasarala from The Expanse. "I knew that my participation was a short participation, a few episodes," she told Vulture. "But what intrigued me was that my character has an arc.

Tyler the Creator reunited with fellow Odd Future member, Earl Sweatshirt, during his headlining performance at weekend two of Coachella 2024.
Joining Tyler for renditions of “AssMilk” (its first performance since 2014) and “Rusty,” Earl’s appearance marked the highlight of an otherwise guest-less set. Still, the joy the two expressed at sharing a stage again came across.
Calling Earl his “brother,” Tyler said, “I love this guy so fucking much.” After “Rusty,” the two embraced with a hug, and Earl turned to face Tyler’s stunning, desert-landscape-themed stage, saying “Look at the biggest show on Earth!” Watch videos of the performances below.
Elsewhere in his set, Tyler made allusions to another former collaborator: Frank Ocean. During the intro to the two’s duet, “She,” Tyler told the crowd to “sing the song” if they knew it, because Ocean was “not coming out.”
Perhaps referencing Ocean’s ill-fated headlining booking at Coachella 2023, Tyler continued,...

The Alchemist tells the story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy, who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.

The elusive feature adaptation of Paulo Coelho’s popular novel The Alchemist has gone from lead to gold — again.
Legendary Entertainment has secured the film, TV and ancillary rights to develop a feature based on the classic novel, with TriStar Pictures on board to release. Jack Thorne — whose film credits include Enola Holmes and The Swimmers — is attached to write the feature adaptation of a popular 1988 novel that has seen a road to the big screen as winding as the traveler’s philosophical journey in the book.
Laurence Fishburne had wanted to develop Coelho’s best-selling book for 16 years after acquiring the film rights from Warner Bros. Pictures with the intent of making the movie themselves. Warners acquired author Coelho’s book — about a traveler journeying the world during the Inquisition in order to find man’s purpose in the world — in 2003 as a Fishburne vehicle.
In 2008, The Weinstein Co.

Refusing the blistering politics of identity is a radical move in a (cinematic) decade where representation is royalty, but it's something that Seo Ah-hyun does not take lightly. The filmmaker's quietly ambitious debut feature, “Queer My Friends,” admirably never bends to the crucifying Enlightenment dualities that practically beg to be used in a work about her best friend, a gay Korean Christian man: religion versus reason, self versus other, truth versus reality. Instead, Ah-hyun — as she is referred to in the film — trades dualisms for a dualistic monism in the parallel-woven depictions of her friend Song Kang-won and herself, a straight Korean woman, over the course of five years.
