Henry Jackman is one of the most prolific composers working in cinema today, with his musical prowess popping up in films across a wide spectrum of subgenres. He's provided the scores for superhero fare like "Kick-Ass," "X-Men: First Class," and "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," family-friendly animated films like "Ron's Gone Wrong," "Wreck-It Ralph," and "Puss in Boots," and other high-profile releases like "Kong: Skull Island," "The Gray Man," and "Captain Phillips." But one of his most interesting avenues has been his collaborations with comedians Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg with "The Interview" and "This Is The End."
The latter is a hilarious apocalyptic comedy with an unbelievable ensemble cast including Rogen, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Michael Cera, Emma Watson, Mindy Kaling, David Krumholtz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Rihanna, Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, The Backstreet Boys, and regrettably, James Franco. With such a cast of big, animated personalities,...

This spoiler-free review is based on the first two episodes.
There’s a Woody the Woodpecker cartoon where Woody starts to fall from a height, then double takes, flaps his wings and soars into the sky saying, ‘Hey! I forgot I was a bird!’
Every so often, TV pulls the same trick. It goes along, airing detective shows and cooking shows and superhero shows and property programmes, falling, falling, falling… and then it suddenly remembers, ‘Hey! I forgot I was Television! I’m a box of mad, uncontainable dream magic conjured by imagination wizards who send stories through the air! Hop it, Gregg Wallace. I’ve got flying to do.’
And then it airs something like The Third Day, which is untethered by genre or tradition or a trackable plot, and unlike anything you’ve seen on television for a long, long time.
The Third Day: Summer is a trip.

While EU ambassador Gordon Sondland was testifying during Wednesday’s impeachment hearings President Donald Trump attempted to defend himself to the media. The president held a pad of paper with words written in all-caps with a sharpie and read aloud in dramatic fashion:
“I Want Nothing. I Want Nothing. I Want No Quid Pro Quo.”
Donald Trump seized upon one particular bit of testimony from Gordon Sondland's hearing today. The EU envoy testified that the president told him "I want nothing" from Ukraine, and "I want no quid pro quo.
“I Want Nothing. I Want Nothing. I Want No Quid Pro Quo.”
