A majority of states have already legalized cannabis to some degree, and only some 10 percent of Americans believe it should remain prohibited in every form. Yet some Republicans have continued to oppose a decades-long effort to remove the drug from the federal list of Schedule I drugs — those considered to have “a high potential for abuse” and “no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.” And lately, we’ve started to see exactly which voters support this intransigence: religious “trad life” influencers.

It’s time to meet everyone who will be attending the upcoming murder mystery The Perfect Couple, because Netflix has just revealed the star-studded cast.
An adaptation of Elin Hilderbrand’s New York Times bestseller, The Perfect Couple follows Amelia Sacks (Eve Hewson), a bride marrying into one of Nantucket’s wealthiest families. The groom’s mother Greer Garrison Winbury (Nicole Kidman), a famous novelist, spares no expense on the high-society wedding. But, when a dead body appears on the beach, everyone’s Champagne dreams quickly vanish and are replaced by suspicion. As secrets bubble up to the surface, an investigation takes hold that feels plucked from one of Greer’s books.
The cast for The Perfect Couple includes:

Forget Westerns: “The Ballad of Lefty Brown” director Jared Moshé is going on a whole different journey.
In “Aporia,” which world premieres at Fantasia, Sophie (Judy Greer) is trying to keep things together after her Mal husband is killed in a drunk-driving accident. Struggling to comfort teenage daughter, she makes a shocking discovery: his friend, a former physicist, has managed to build a mysterious machine.
Edi Gathegi, Faithe Herman and Payman Maadi also star.
“I like to call it a time-traveling movie that never goes back in time,” Moshé tells Variety.
“I had this idea: What if there was a gun you could shoot into the past? I didn’t want to, say, kill baby Hitler and change the entire world, but show a character who wants to regain control of her life.”
“I started writing this when I became a father. I was getting ‘The Ballad’ off the ground,...

Jack Ryan, the action-filled Prime Video series based on bestselling book author Tom Clancy’s fictional CIA analyst and field agent of the same name, starts its march to the end with the final season’s first two episodes, now streaming. And through a total of four seasons it might be argued that, along with the main character (played by John Krasinski), Ryan’s field boss, advocate and fellow kickass CIA operative James Greer, who is played by Tony-nominated actor Wendell Pierce, has equally dealt out lethal retribution for those who dare tread on the freedoms of the United States of America.
Where Ryan often tries to show more patience and humanity toward the enemies of the state (and the entire free world), Greer’s fuse has been much shorter throughout the series. His impatience usually comes with profanely filled warnings toward enemy combatants that their time is short in...

“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” comes to a close with its fourth and final season on Prime Video, and as star and executive producer John Krasinski was planning for the end, he wanted to ensure the final episodes not only delivered the action that fans have come to expect, but also an emotional kick.
“We wanted to keep the action and thrills and all that for the audience, but I think most importantly to me was — if we were going to end it — to make sure that the audience also had a culmination of these characters and these relationships that they connected to, and that they felt that they were saying goodbye as well,” Krasinski told TheWrap. “So I think for us, it was the emotional impact of making sure that we ended the show, rather than on some action-packed moment, that the moment was about all of us together.

Last month, Donald Trump’s lawyers told him he was on the cusp of a federal indictment in the classified-documents case. But the former president still wanted “my documents” and “my boxes” back, asking some of his lawyers if they could get them from the federal government, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter and two other people briefed on it.
It’s one of many such conversations Trump has had over the past few months, the sources say. In these conversations, Trump also claimed it was...

Jack Ryan is back for its fourth but final season only on Amazon Prime. It’s sad to say goodbye to such a great, interesting spy thriller, but let’s keep brooding for later as we gear up for another notorious scheme that Jack has to dig up. Speaking of which, in every season, there has been a sinister operation at play that Ryan has to uncover and bring an end to. As cliched as it may sound, the show is famous for showcasing realistic, deep conspiracies with diplomacy as their backbone. The reality of how deep things run in the world, as addressed by the show, is what makes it one of the best in the genre. Of course, America stands supreme, but that’s only because the creator himself, the great Tom Clancy, had a great interest in the US military forces although he never got to serve...

Due to the unfortunate relevancy of school shootings in American society, it’s no wonder that we’ve been seeing more and more films about this subject matter. However, while several films and TV series have primarily focused on students and how such atrocities have affected their lives, Michael Shannon’s directorial debut, Eric Larue, which premiered last week at the Tribeca Film Festival, takes a very different path.
Instead, the film tells the story of a grieving mother whose high school son committed a school shooting and murdered three students in the process. She and her husband use religion to cope with this tragic event, but when they realize that their approaches to recovery are completely different, they become completely at odds with each other, arguing and criticizing the other’s approaches to dealing with the situation.
