John Wick!
Gordon Parks!
Colin Cowherd! Brew a strong tea: yo!

As for today’s cover image: “Where there is no vision, the people perish” right? They’re “wise words from Founder and former Executive Director of Race Forward, Gary Delgado.”
New Day; New Last Dance
Magic Johnson is getting a Last Dance.
A four-part docuseries (double what HBO gave to Tiger Woods…jerks!) from Rick Famuyiwa. (Dope is a “dope” movie…check it out.)
I like this doc way better than Adam McKay’s fictional Lakers movie where Quincy Isaiah plays Magic.
John Wick Ruckus: Team Ruckus!
“Woah!” Trick Riding looks so fun. I’ve ridden a horse and it’s a dull slightly humiliating experience for both of us. But Trick Riding…dangling off the side like that? Now that’s horse riding…I’d City Slickers that up hard.

A Choice Of Weapons
A Choice Of Weapons is the Gordon Parks doc trailer: look how good this is! Oh so making a tea for this one.
It’s directed by John Maggio and Jamel Shabazz is in this. That alone is worth the time investment. (I still can’t believe I got to hang out with Jamel for an afternoon in his Long Island studio and just get into…all of it. So Dope.)
November 15 at 10 p.m. on HBO Max. #SetTheVCR
“I might have turned to the gun or the knife, but by then I had chosen the camera.” #AChoiceOfWeapons, an @HBO original documentary about legendary photographer Gordon Parks and the influence he’s had on a new generation of artists, premieres November 15 at 10PM on @HBOMax. pic.twitter.com/FmbfOhjkDf

New Day; New National Treasure
Oh what a condescending downgrade from Nicolas Cage.
Lisette Alexis (whoever that is…) will be the star of the Disney+ National Treasure series.
That’s as wretched as Doogie Kamealoha. There’s no way this’ll be good. Impossible.
Skip the trailer: I’m 100% out.
Make another movie with Cage and I’ll happy be back.
#NBA: Kinda/Sorta
Just brilliant. “A populist snob: what you’re saying is you want to attract a lot of people but you have a standard that you won’t cross.”
That’s it…right there. That’s the money. Populist Snob. So good; soul good!
Always doubt the haters; never doubt yourself.
I hafta listen to this interview again. Some most excellent gems. Ethan Strauss hosted Colin Cowherd on a recent episode of HoS podcast.
