Starz’s Heels season two episode seven set up the huge showdown between the Duffy Wrestling League and Florida Wrestling Dystopia that will take place in episode eight, the season finale. Episode seven found the Fwd and the Dwl vying for the attention of a Continuum bigwig, with the Fwd getting the upper hand, at least for now. The season’s penultimate episode also saw the Duffy squad pulling together as a family.
And now, the recap:
Ace (Alexander Ludwig) is concentrating on getting his mind, body, and spirit in shape as episode seven begins. But as Ace improves himself, Willie (Mary McCormack) appears to be spiraling down, taking out her anger and frustration on her daughter and husband. She’s been staying late at the Dome every night, and her husband’s fed up with her behavior.

Ace’s return to the Dwl at the end of Starz’s Heels season two episode four caught all the wrestlers – and Eddie Earl (Joel Murray) – by surprise. And as episode five begins, the mood in the locker room isn’t as celebratory as Jack (Stephen Amell) imagined it would be.
Diego (Robbie Ramos) reminds everyone that in order to be a team, they have to know what’s going on. But, apparently, Jack wanted to keep the debut of The Condamned a secret to increase the shock factor.
And credit where credit’s due – Jack and Ace’s plan worked.
Not everyone’s upset about what went down. Big Jim (Duke Davis Roberts) welcomes his buddy back and promises he’s there as a shoulder to lean on if Ace (Alexander Ludwig) needs it.

Starz’s Heels season two episode four begins with a confirmation that Jack (Stephen Amell) and Staci (Alison Luff) aren’t just going through the paces, they are legitimately back together. Jack even asks for Staci’s opinion on what to do about the Gully situation, and she sides with Willie and Bill, believing Jack will have to make a deal. Or, maybe he can just apologize.
Jack and Staci’s houseguest, Ace (Alexander Ludwig), is totally confused about what to do next. He’s supposed to be long gone – off to bigger and better things – and yet here he is, back in Duffy. Jack reminds him he’s important to the Dwl and vows to work with him as equals. Ace is, understandably, skeptical and wants to put wrestling behind him. (Jack’s sympathetic to Ace’s needs…for once.

Duke Davis Roberts has been acting for most of his life, and he’s reached a place that many actors only dream of. In 2015, his on-screen career got off to a great start when he was cast as Choo-Choo in Justified. Although he was only on the show for a year, he didn’t let that stop him from making progress. After a few years of minor guest roles, Duke got another big opportunity when he landed a role in The Son. Now he’s about to make yet another wave thanks to his role in the upcoming TV series Heels.

Following a summer during which a multitude of white people took to the streets in support of Black Lives Matter, The Good Lord Bird arrived Sunday on Showtime to tell the story of perhaps the most notorious white ally in American history: John Brown. The 19th-century abolitionist set out to eradicate slavery by any means, including killing and staging a famous raid on Harpers Ferry Armory in West Virginia in 1859. Though unsuccessful, that attack was regarded as a catalyst for the Civil War.

‘Les Loups’ is the first great Quebec film of 2015
The dark unforgiving waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the mouth of the St. Lawrence river provide the backdrop to Les Loups, a beautifully crafted melodrama. Set in a small island Quebec town during the spring thaw, a stranger arrives during the height of the controversial seal hunts. Vibrant and mysterious, many suspect that Elie, the young woman from Montreal, is not who she says and is likely a reporter or an activist bent on portraying the townsfolk in a bad light… read the full article.

Spoiler alert: This interview reveals major plot points from the February 24 episode of Justified, "Alive Day." Duke Davis Roberts has made a big impression on Justified this season. His character, brain-damaged war veteran Mundo, a.k.a. "Choo-Choo" (because he comes at you like a train), has been embraced by fans despite the fact that he's a murderous thug for evil pot baron Avery Markham (Sam Elliott). Sadly, Choo-Choo reached the end of the line in last night's episode after a shootout with Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant). L.A. native Davis, an ex-mma fighter who only earned his SAG card last year, spoke with Vulture about his arc on Justified, his distinctive voice, and giving up on Mma.How did your character get his nickname?It came from Timothy Olyphant's brain. He talked to the writers and had them change my name. He told me...

Justified, Season 6, Episode 6: “Alive Day”
Written by Benjamin Cavell and Jennifer Kennedy
Directed by Peter Werner
Airs Tuesdays at 10pm Et on FX
“Wonderful things can happen when you sow seeds of distrust in a garden of assholes.”
- Raylan Givens, via something he read
“Alive Day” revisits one of Justified’s core themes, as borrowed from Elmore Leonard: by and large, criminals are not that bright. Even the brighter ones – like Avery Markham and Boyd Crowder, for instance – tend to have Achilles’ heels, often in the form of plain old hubris. To its benefit, “Alive Day” finds a novel pivot point for this theme that is somewhat unlike anything the series has attempted before. That slight shift in perspective is represented by a somewhat unlikely figure: Mundo, a.k.a. Choo-Choo, as played by Duke Davis Roberts.

After Ava’s day out in last week’s episode demonstrated just how precisely Justified can orchestrate chaos, “Alive Day” takes a different tact entirely. Once, Raylan used something as structured as the U.N. to describe all the assholes he was presently having to deal with. “Wonderful things can happen when you sow seeds of distrust in a garden of assholes,” he says of Avery’s bunch tonight, and the change in collective noun is reflective of what kind of hour “Alive Day” is. Compared to the rigor of Season 6 so far, “Alive Day” is a looser episode of Justified than we seen recently. Even when the final 10 minutes of mayhem due arrive, it’s an intentionally messy affair.
It’s in the little details, like Raylan awkwardly framed parallel to the corner of Ava’s kitchen, or the dramatic zoom on Rachel late in the hour, that things just seem a little “off.

A review of tonight's "Justified" coming up just as soon as we decide whether we're going to flapjack or short bus the bad guys... "You see, Raylan, I've learned to think without arguing with myself." -Boyd Like the Elmore Leonard stories that inspired the series, "Justified" has a tendency to have very complicated plots, with each season featuring multiple groups of villains pursuing different agendas that frequently intersect and cause headaches for each other and Raylan Givens. The trick is to make the villains entertaining enough that we don't mind doing the mental calculations about who's after what, or waiting through the cryptic early episodes until we find out everyone's angle. When the bad guys are, for instance, Quarles and Limehouse, then it's no big deal trying to untangle that season's Gordian plot; when it's Daryl Crowe, then you start to notice how contorted things are getting. Last week's season...
