If you grew up watching Adam Sandler movies, you probably know the comedic actor as an obnoxious goofball with a penchant for singing and a heart of gold. Sandler typically plays a man-child in films which send him to exotic locales along with his coterie of SNL alumnus buddies. Some have even speculated that his films are just thinly-veiled excuses to take vacations, financed by movie studios. Occasionally, though, Sandler will venture way outside his comfort zone and pull off an Oscar-worthy performance that leaves the casual viewer reeling. The best example of this rare trend is 2019’s Uncut Gems, which is currently streaming on Hulu.

I’m not going to sugarcoat it: Uncut Gems is an absolutely insane movie. If you’re familiar with the discourse surrounding the film, you may have heard someone refer to it as a two-hour-long panic attack set to a low-end synth score. This is a pretty apt description, as everything from the crowded shot composition, the pushing zooms, and the overlapping dialogue creates a sense of complete and total overstimulation.

Watching the movie at home is nerve-racking enough, but catching it in the theater was a magical experience. I’m not usually an anxious person, but even I wound up walking out of the theater with weak knees and sweaty palms like Eminem in 8 Mile. Having said that, Uncut Gems is an impeccable movie with a tight screenplay, strong characters, and a critical look at greed, materialism, and even colonialism, if you look deep enough. Boston Celtics legend Kevin Garnett also appears in a pretty major role, so the movie gets some serious bonus points in my book.

Uncut Gems was written and directed by legendary filmmaking duo Josh and Benny Safdie. The film follows Adam Sandler‘s NYC jeweler and degenerate gambler Howard Ratner as he handles one of the biggest sales of his career. While attempting to coerce Celtics NBA champion Kevin Garnett into buying a multi-million-dollar African opal, Ratner finds himself running from loan sharks, pawning goods that don’t belong to him, and taking major gambling risks to stay afloat.

As the narrative continues building to its thrilling climax, Sandler offers a tour de force performance that will make you rethink everything you’ve ever said about Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore. As it turns out, this goofy comedian can actually act on the level of Christian Bale, when he puts his mind to it. Of course, this shouldn’t come as a complete surprise, especially if you’ve seen Sandler give his all in other dramatic outings like Punch-Drunk Love, Reign Over Me, or The Meyerowitz Stories.

I’m one of the cool, calm, collected individuals who managed to enjoy this movie upon release, but I think it holds up even better today, as gambling apps and sports betting have insidiously worked their way into many facets of daily life. Uncut Gems serves as a great reminder that gambling can have deadly consequences, even for those who think they have a perfect system. If you’ve got a few hours and maybe a bar of Xanax lying around, be sure to stream Uncut Gems on Hulu today. Just be sure to hit the couch with a weighted blanket or whatever else people turn to when their anxiety disorders start acting up.

General Hospital early weekly spoilers for March 16th- 20th expose Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) plotting some payback.

As we always do on early edition day. We start with what is coming the rest of this week. Then we dive into next week.

General Hospital Spoilers Wednesday, March 11th: Justine Plays It Cool with Sonny

So on Wednesday, March 11th on General Hospital, we got Justine Turner (Daya Vaidya) continuing to play it cool. And obviously this is about Sonny. They had their little thing where they were going to be one and done. But obviously Justine’s one night with Sonny isn’t going to be enough for either of them.

We’ll see. Plus, Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) won’t take no for an answer. And I’m betting he wants to take Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) over to General Hospital because she doubled over in agonizing pain and then passed out cold at Charlie’s. I’ve seen some people on social media asking if she might be pregnant. She is having an endometriosis flare up. If you don’t know what that is, it’s tissue from inside your uterus that grows outside your uterus and it causes this horrible pain and infertility issues which Molly has and just lots of stuff and some people have to have surgery for it. It’s very painful.

So Cody does not know about this yet, but I’m guessing Molly is going to have to tell him. She might refuse to go to GH because she knows what it is. So Molly is unconscious on Monday. Cody is pleading with her to wake up and then this conversation.

Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) goes over to grill Sonny and I wonder if she’s going to talk to him about her frustrations with the Scout Cain (Cosette Abinante) situation. And I do wonder if there’s any way that Alexis tells Sonny that Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) shot Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison). She’s sitting on that, but I don’t think she’s going to sit on it forever.

GH Spoilers: Sonny & Ric Strategize

And Sonny tells Ric if he wants to back out that now is the time to say so. So, this may be about Sonny’s plan to destroy Jenz Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and he may be pulling Ric in because Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) is getting ready to leave town and Sonny needs some help.

I am loving this Ric and Sonny thing. I like Ric and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst). They’re okay, but if she ends up with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), I can live with it. But Ric and Sonny, I’m loving the bromance.

Elsewhere, Elizabeth and Dante share a common interest. They’re talking up at General Hospital, and Elizabeth tells Dante if any part of him feels like he wants to try again, now is the time. And I think Elizabeth might be telling him about Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening). You know, if you want her, maybe make a move before she gets in deeper with Nathan West (Ryan Paevey). But I kind of don’t think Dante wants that.

And Lulu, meanwhile, is venting to her stepmom Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot). And I’m sure it’s about Lulu dating Nathan and Maxie Jones’ (Kirsten Storms) bad reaction and her running and telling Dante before they could. And James West (Gary James Fuller) is asking his dad, Nathan, if he wants a girlfriend. And obviously, he’s not going to bring up Lulu at this point.

And Emma Drake (Brayden Bruner) tells Gio Palmieri (Giovanni Mazza) she’s got to accept the fact she is going to fail. And I wonder if that is about saving her grandma, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes).

General Hospital Spoilers Thursday, March 12th: Valentin Mulls an Offer

On Thursday, March 12th, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) is thinking carefully about an offer. Now, this may be an offer from Carly Corinthos Spencer (Laura Wright) herself. You know, everybody wants Valentin to leave, so he and Carly may be figuring out some place to protect her, but where he can still be around.

Or he may get an offer from Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) or Jason, you know, since he’s about to leave town and wants Carly safe and Valentin is an issue. We’ll see if one of them makes the offer.

Maxie is demanding answers. And this may be about the sketchy Deception deal with Sidwell, unless of course it’s more on Nathan and Lulu, but I feel like it might be work related.

Meanwhile, Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) is thankful. So maybe Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) or Marco Rios (Adrian Anchondo) have their hands on Britt’s meds by then. And Lulu is looking to Carly for advice.

I don’t know if that’s a great idea since she’s aiding and abetting an internationally wanted fugitive, but I’m sure again this is about the whole Nathan and Maxie thing and I think Carly’s going to tell her follow your heart, go for what you want.

GH Spoilers Friday, March 13th: Jordan’s Secret at Risk

Friday, March 13th, we’ve got Jordan Ashford’s (Tanisha Harper) secret at risk of being exposed. So, I’m assuming that’s a baby on the way and maybe we’re finally going to see that pregnancy test with two lines.

And Elizabeth gets some news from Dante, maybe about Delilah (Lily Cardone) and maybe Jane Doe. And something shocks Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). And I wonder if she is going to find out that Jordan is pregnant.

And Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) asks someone for something. So this may be help from Alexis. Maybe, you know, can you help us foster this baby temporarily until we find the family? Something like that.

Week of March 16th-20th on General Hospital spoilers: Carly and Sidwell Plan Their Party

The week of March 16th through the 20th, Carly and Sidwell are going to be planning their party that’s going to be out at Wyndemere on Spoon Island. So, I wonder if Carly is going to use this event to try and sneak Valentin onto the island with her so that they can, you know, get whatever they need to finish taking Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) down.

Of course, they know they’ve got to take Cullum down as well. Jason is leaving soon. Steve Burton’s break begins and he’s already out on it, but his character is going to be offscreen by the end of the month. So, a reliable source leaked to us that he’s kidnapped, but right now he’s planning to run away with Britt, which is kind of awful.

Because it sounds like he’s just going to up and leave Danny Morgan (Asher Antonyzyn). That is not great fathering choosing Britt over Danny. Jason seems to just choose other people over his children. So, at least he told Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) to, you know, take over parenting him, but terrible parenting.

Jordan has a hard time keeping that secret. And if Portia finds out, oh my gosh, she’s going to hold her feet to the fire because Jordan’s done the same thing to her so many times. There’s no way Portia is going to keep quiet.

General Hospital Spoilers Week of March 16th-20th

Dante and Elizabeth get closer and we may see things shifting between them. Sparks may be flying, but you know, Ric has been seeing Elizabeth. He kissed her and he’s still hot for her. So, I would actually be okay with Elizabeth getting a love triangle because she’s had no love interest in so long. I think having two is absolutely fine.

Maxie continues to struggle with the Lulu and Nathan issue next week. And I’m very interested to hear Damian Spinelli’s (Bradford Anderson) take on all this. Josslyn is truly scared for her mom Carly. And as much as Josslyn and Jason want Carly to stay away from Valentin, they can’t force her.

And of course, Josslyn is struggling and Jason held back. Did you notice he didn’t tell Josslyn that Carly and Valentin are intimately involved, but I imagine that Josslyn can figure that out on her own before too long. We also have Justine and Sonny continuing to fight their urges.

The good news is the DA’s office is not going to pursue a case against Michael because Chase basically tainted everything with, as far as they know, planting evidence. Of course, he didn’t. It was Willow that planted the evidence and that will eventually come out.

Willow May Turn to Sidwell for Help

And speaking of Willow, I’m also wondering if she’s going to talk to Sidwell about dealing with the threat of Brennan. You know, because Sidwell, she doesn’t know this, but he could go to Cullum, who could then, you know, tell Jack to step off where she is concerned. So, we’ll see how that goes.

Hopefully, Willow does turn to Sidwell. I mean, they’re partners in crime at this point. Also, Chase and Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) spend some time with baby Jane Doe, and we may in fact see them fostering the baby soon.

And Willow is getting acclimated to being in Congress. And of course, Sidwell’s pulling her strings, but she’s used to dealing with overbearing men. Growing up in a cult, I think prepared her really well to work with Sidwell. That’s your General Hospital early weekly spoiler outlook.

Bold and the Beautiful early weekly spoilers for March 16th – 20th suggest Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is completely losing it and Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) playing even dirtier than she was before. If you can imagine that.

As we always do on early edition day, we start with what is coming the rest of this week and then we’re going to dive into what is ahead for next week.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Wednesday, March 11th: Ridge Loses His Cool

So on Wednesday, March 11th, we’ve got Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) up at Il Giardino talking to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). This is a carryover from the past episode and he is asking for an update on Will and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). But Will wants to know what is going on with Dylan (Sydney Bullock). And of course, Will is very worried about why Dylan took off and went up to Forrester Creations. But bottom line is Hope does not know why.

And I’m curious if she will tell Will the same kind of thing that she was telling Dylan about how Electra’s had this cushy life and she really doesn’t understand hardship. Because Will’s had a life like that. So, I’m curious if Hope will bring that up or not because she and Dylan seem more eye to eye because they grew up in similar economic situations.

Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) loses his cool because Bill is going to stand his ground on Wednesday and he’s making it very clear to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge that he and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) are using Eric Forrester‘s (John McCook) designs. Period. They are bought and paid for. Woo! That does not go over well. Ridge absolutely explodes. Scares the caterer. Bill’s complaining there’s no dessert. And then Ridge is just railing at Katie, asking if she wants to be remembered for stealing. And she insists that she and Eric collaborated for weeks on the designs. But then Brooke slams Katie and says, “You didn’t create anything.”

Chaos Erupts on B&B

And then Bill is losing it and telling Ridge, “Don’t you dare talk to my wife like that.” So obviously this conciliatory dinner is going to go down in flames. Eric, meanwhile, is spending some time reconnecting with RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman). Eric is up at the Forrester Creations design office, and RJ is telling his granddad that Forrester Creations is your home.

So, I’m hoping we get a clue during this conversation from Eric about whether he’s going to wrap things up at Logan, you know, finish what he promised Katie and then come back to Forrester or if he’s just cutting things off with Logan and back at Forrester already to stay.

Dylan is more than thrilled to accept Steffy Forrester‘s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) job offer and she wants to know Dylan’s full name for HR and she says her name is Melissa Dylan and her parents call her Miss Dylan. Now, problem is they introduced Miss Dylan as this art teacher and I don’t think they were going to keep her around.

It was one of those cases like, “Oh, we really like the actress,” but they were already calling her Miss Dylan and then just Dylan. And she’s been in the credits for a while now as Melissa Dylan. And I was wondering how they were ever going to do that. Hopefully, they’re just going to stick to calling her Dylan because that’s how we all know her, right?

Thursday, March 12th: Katie Defends Herself to Brooke on Bold and the Beautiful

Thursday, March 12th, leading up to Logan’s big press conference launch, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is chatting up VIP Dottie (Morgan Fairchild) and her assistant Joseph (Jim J. Bullock) at the Spencer Publications offices. They’ve got fashion press there. They’ve got VIPs. It’s going to be a huge event. And they have built a showroom set.

Now, to me, that means that Logan isn’t going anywhere because that’s a pretty spendy set to construct for a one-off. Meanwhile, Katie is having to defend herself and her actions to Brooke yet again. And I’m sure it’s about using Eric’s designs and pushing forward with the launch of Logan, which Brooke feels like the designs are stolen, the name is stolen. Katie feels like she’s entitled to use it. Fans are split equally.

Elsewhere, Electra is very unhappy when Dylan shares her big news. And I’m sure this is about Steffy giving Dylan a job at Forrester Creations. And of course, Electra isn’t going to want Dylan anywhere near her after she kissed Will and broke her rules and you know it was just not proper.

Friday, March 13th: Brooke and Ridge Crash Logan’s Launch

Friday, March 13th, we’ve got Bill and Katie putting Eric’s designs right onto the runway over at the Spencer Tower for the press conference. We’ve got models there. We’ve got gowns and then Katie hits the Logan runway with Bill announcing a new name in LA fashion and it is Logan.

So Katie’s making a speech at Logan’s debut event. They’ve got the dresses produced from Eric’s designs. They got models, a full house, a whole big thing. And Ridge and Brooke have the audacity to crash and they interrupt Katie’s press conference. I’m sure there’s going to be a huge scene. And I cannot wait to see how messy, messy, messy this is going to get.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Week of March 16th-20th: Ivy Plays Dirty

The week of March 16th through the 20th, I expect Electra to go rant to Ivy that Steffy has hired Dylan at Forrester Creations, the person that Ivy, you know, has told Electra was basically seducing Will and being totally inappropriate.

And I would not be surprised if Ivy marched into the CEO office to demand that Steffy rescind the job offer. Take it back. You know, Ivy is way more confrontational than Electra, but I don’t think anything she says will get Steffy to cooperate. She doesn’t even like Ivy. We all know that, right?

And if she gives Steffy the whole it’s not proper thing, I think Steffy might hand that right back to her. And hopefully that will inspire Dylan to tell Steffy what she saw about the letter and about Electra and all that.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: RJ Still after Electra

Meanwhile, RJ isn’t going to give up on trying to make Electra his now that she and Will are officially and completely split. Electra and Will’s communication is terrible. You know, Will didn’t tell Electra he saw her with RJ and you know, Ivy’s in the mix driving them apart. So contrived.

Plus, Ivy keeps pushing Electra and RJ. We’re going to get a lot more of that. And I could actually see Ivy going to Dylan and telling her to go away and threaten her. And I don’t think Steffy’s going to tolerate that. I don’t think anybody’s going to tolerate that except Electra and Ivy.

Hope and Brooke Won’t Give Up on Deacon and Taylor on B&B

Hope and Brooke are not going to give up on Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) having a future. And if Hope hears about Steffy ranting and demanding they end things, you know, Hope may decide that she’s on a matchmaking mission.

Meanwhile, Deacon and Taylor are fighting their urges. You know, they did say goodbye. Deacon is trying to recommit to Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), but he’s head over heels in love with Taylor, who is terrified of losing her family. This is all about Steffy’s ultimatum, but in the end, I don’t think Deacon and Taylor can stand being apart.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Deacon & Taylor Take the Next Step

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers confirm that a couple makes love for the first time in the month of March. I absolutely think it’s Deacon and Taylor. I don’t think Will is going to go down that road with Dylan anytime soon. And I don’t think Electra is going to go hop in bed with RJ. And that really leaves only Deacon and Taylor.

Things are going to get a lot more intense between Dylan and Ivy. I expect Dylan to tell Electra everything pretty soon despite what Ivy said. And I do expect some threatening antics from Ivy. She’s just getting out of control. I don’t think I’m going to miss the character when Ashleigh Brewer has to go out on maternity leave. This is so unlike the Ivy from years ago.

Things get heated between Brooke, Katie, Bill, and Ridge after the Logan fashion show. I mean, heck, during it, really. And Bill and Katie are gonna have to do damage control at the press conference after whatever stunt that Ridge and Brooke pull and there’s going to be big fallout and I’m sure Eric’s gonna have some things to say about all of this. That’s your Bold and the Beautiful early weekly spoiler outlook.

Things are getting serious on the West Coast. Gavin Newsom is addressing growing concerns after reports of a potential retaliatory threat tied to Iran started circulating online. And let’s just say… it pushed “West Coast” into trending territory. With the situation reportedly involving possible drone activity targeting parts of California, the governor didn’t waste time addressing the matter.

Authorities Warn Of Possible Drone Threat

According to information reviewed by ABC News, authorities were alerted that as early as February 2026, Iran allegedly expressed interest in carrying out a surprise drone attack that could target locations in California if the U.S. launched strikes against the country. The potential threat was reportedly identified by the United States Coast Guard and shared with law enforcement agencies as a precautionary warning. Officials say there is currently no additional information about the timing, method, or specific targets tied to the alleged plan.

Newsom Says State Is Taking Threat Seriously

Newsom confirmed that California officials are taking the reports seriously, explaining that the California Office of Emergency Services is already sharing real-time information with local law enforcement agencies across the state. He added that officials have been actively monitoring drone-related security concerns for some time and have formed specialized working groups to address potential risks. In a video released on Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom shared:

“As it relates to drone strikes, we have been aware of that information,” he revealed. “We have been working collaboratively through the (SOC), which we established right after the war began — the State Operations Center. Working with the Office of Emergency Services, but also working locally to make sure we transmit any information that we have received.”

The alert comes amid ongoing tensions following U.S. military operations against Iran during the administration of Donald Trump, with reports indicating that Iran has since carried out drone strikes in parts of the Middle East. Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Los Angeles office declined to comment on the situation, and the White House has not yet responded to requests for clarification.

The Comment Section Didn’t Take Long

As soon as TSR dropped the post, folks ran straight to the Instagram comment section and started ducking for cover. Some joked that the whole situation has to be part of a rollout for a new Call of Duty game, while others immediately asked, “Who is we?” when it came to any talk about retaliation. And, of course, a few Roomies simply chalked it all up to the same conclusion they always do — that Earth is ghetto.

One Instagram user @iknowwhereiwanttoeat said, “Can we stop the world so I can get off 😩”

This Instagram user @dextercarr added, “🗣️ WE DIDNT DO NOTHINNNNNN *cries in temper tantrum*“

And, Instagram user @_thats.brookes.alexandria_ wrote, “Not us living in GTA before we get GTA 😔”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @sportyvixen shared, “Dis teew much 🤦🏽‍♀️”

While Instagram user @ceecee_la said, “Iran go ahead and hit Washington DC & Mar-a-Lago first pls respectfully“

Lastly, Instagram user @loonyt joked, “the new Call of Duty rollout been 🔥🔥 so far“
