How A Movie Ruined The 1990s By Making Everyone Obey
By Joshua Tyler
| Updated

The 1990s are now, in the minds of many, supplanting the 1950s as humanity’s golden age. The internet was still in its earliest form, the economy was booming, and so was American innovation and culture.
In 1994, at the very center of that era was one blockbuster movie that the entire world rushed to fawn over. A supposed tale of optimism and high hopes, a recontextualizing of the path America had taken to reach a bright and shining future, as told through the lens of one very stupid man.
Or that’s what the film seemed to be. In reality, it may have been the first big step towards decline. Whether you knew it or not, while watching Forrest Gump, you were being screenwashed.
Forrest Gump’s Philosophy Of Total Obedience
Forrest Gump begins with a feather floating on the breeze. It has no weight, no impact, and no agency. The feather goes wherever the wind blows it, without complaint, confident that it’ll all work out in the end.
Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’ll get out. Life is like a feather floating on the air. There’s no way of knowing which way the wind is blowing; all you can do is let it move you.

There’s no way of knowing what you’re putting in your mouth, so just keep eating and accept whatever touches your tongue next.
It’s a philosophy of total obedience and an abandonment of agency, a rejection of responsibility, and it’s something no normal human would ever agree to. Which is why it’s easy to dismiss Forrest Gump as just a movie.
To make that kind of insane message stick, you’d need to go far beyond a speech about a box of chocolates into a world of secret, weapons-grade psychological persuasion. So that’s exactly what Forrest Gump did.

Let’s start this by saying Jenny is at the center of everything, but it’s not because she’s a secret villain, which is the standard edgy Forrest Gump take. She’s not a secret villain at all, she’s an open villain, but a villain made to serve a secret purpose.
Before I explain that, you need to understand the movie itself.
Forrest Gump Triggers Emotional Reactions To Make The Audience Suggestible
Forrest Gump is beautifully made and sold as a feel-good fable about kindness and decency. It’s so good at being emotional and at making the audience feel that it’s almost impossible to see what it’s doing through the tears. And that’s exactly why it works.
While training to be a hypnotist, most of my earliest lessons revolved around how to trigger someone into a suggestive state. One of the best and most effective ways is by creating an emotional reaction. Psychologists sometimes call this emotional priming. Emotional priming takes advantage of the fact that strong emotion impairs critical thinking and increases suggestibility.

One of the most unique things about Forrest Gump is its structure. It’s not one, continuous narrative. Instead, it’s a series of short vignettes, set at different times in the life of Gump.
Each Vignette starts a story, and then ends with a swelling emotional scene. It’s timed so that as each new segment begins, the audience is in a strong emotional state created by the last one.
We feel Forrest’s shame as he’s mocked for being dumb. Fear in the jungles of Vietnam. Unbearable grief at the death of his mother. With the audience constantly primed, Forrest Gump then uses that to deliver something insidious: a morality play where obedience is rewarded and independent thought is punished.
All of that is then wrapped in nostalgia and empathy so thick you’re not supposed to notice.
Forrest Gump As A Compliance Exercise
From the start, Forrest Gump is a rule follower, no matter how bad the rules are around him. The movie starts with Forrest relaying things his mother told him and explaining how he followed her instructions.
The entire movie becomes a compliance exercise for Forrest Gump, a man who never questions anything, and a script that makes that work for the audience by portraying him as a person of limited intelligence.

Of course, Forrest just complies; he’s not smart enough to do anything else. But why Forrest complies isn’t as important from a persuasion perspective as the fact that he does comply, and the movie gets viewers to cheer for his compliance.
Forrest succeeds because he does exactly what he’s told. Not metaphorically. Literally.
Run, Forrest. He runs.
Join the army. He joins.
Play ping-pong. He plays.
Invest in shrimp. He invests.
Forrest never questions instructions from anyone. He never resists authority. He never evaluates outcomes. He doesn’t even really choose. He complies, and the universe showers him with rewards. Wealth. Fame. Love. Respect. A charmed life delivered one order at a time.

The film frames this as innocence. But structurally, it’s perfect obedience.
Obedience to his mother and Jenny. Obedience to the state that sends him to die in the jungle and then to play ping pong. Obedience is Forrest Gump’s entire life. He has no agency, and it’s celebrated.
One of the only moments where Forrest shows any agency is in a failed attempt to rescue Jenny, who he sees making out with a boy in a car and mistakenly thinks she’s being harmed. She yells at him, tells him he’s wrong.
So it’s right back to doing what he’s told. In that moment, after he apologizes and returns to compliance, Jenny rewards him by taking off her top.
Forrest Enters A Holding Pattern When There’s No One To Obey
When Forrest’s mother dies, and he runs out of people to obey, Forrest spends his time mowing lawns. Back and forth, back and forth, locked in a holding pattern while he waits for his next command.

When Jenny leaves him, that pattern repeats. Forrest starts running. Back and forth, back and forth, awaiting his next instructions. Like a feather being blown about by the wind.
Moral Laundering And Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump’s character is a textbook example of a persuasion technic call Moral Laundering. In Moral Laundering, an unpopular or contested idea is made more acceptable by attaching it to a trusted, heroic, or morally admired figure, allowing the figure’s perceived virtue to transfer onto the message.

Moral laundering alone wouldn’t be enough to screenwash an audience into viewing total compliance as optimal. So the film provides a contrast to our obedient hero, using our old friend, Poisoning the Well.
Poisoning the Well is a concept we’ve talked a lot about on Screenwashed, and it’s the polar opposite of Moral Laundering.

In Poisoning the Well, you have a villain say something good, to make people think that the good thing is as villainous as the person saying it.
Both Moral Laundering and Poisoning the Well take advantage of moral asymmetry.
Moral asymmetry is the tendency of humans to judge the same behavior as morally acceptable or unacceptable depending on who commits it, rather than on the behavior itself.

Forrest Gump is used to launder the idea that total obedience is an optimal behavior pattern, while another character poisons the well against thinking for yourself. Who’s the ultimate free thinker in Forrest Gump? Jenny.
Jenny’s Refusal To Follow Rules Unlocks Forrest Gump’s True Intention
From the moment we meet Jenny, she refuses to obey and follow the crowd. Forrest is getting picked on by the kids around him. Jenny has none of it; she defies the bullies’ authority and befriends him.

Throughout the movie, Jenny questions. Jenny rebels. Jenny does the unexpected. When she faces abuse from an authority figure, she gets away from it. She rejects traditional paths. She challenges authority. She experiments with politics, sex, and culture.
For that, the movie destroys her. It destroys her narratively by making her life a disaster, but it also destroys her in the eyes of the audience by making her a villain. It does that by having her express her independence through actions and ideas that most of the audience will find intolerable, and then turning her relationship with Forrest into one where she takes advantage of him.

The movie makes Jenny a villain on purpose, not accidentally, as some commentators seem to assume. Every time Jenny exercises agency, the film punishes her with escalating consequences: abuse, addiction, illness, and isolation. Her curiosity is framed as recklessness. Her defiance is reframed as self-harm. Her independence becomes pathology.
This is not subtle storytelling. It’s conditioning.
Jenny’s Suffering Only Ends When She Complies
The movie pretends Jenny’s suffering is the result of “bad choices,” but it carefully rigs the game so every choice outside obedience leads to pain. There is no version of Jenny’s life where thinking for herself works out. The audience is trained, scene by scene, to associate her autonomy with disaster.

Worst of all, Jenny is redeemed only when she stops rebelling.
She returns home. She settles down. She becomes quiet. Sick. Dependent. Her independence is stripped away, and only then is she allowed happiness. Only briefly, before she dies.
The message is unmistakable: a person who thinks for themselves must be broken before they can be accepted.

Forrest, meanwhile, never changes. He doesn’t grow. He doesn’t learn. He is rewarded precisely because he remains unchanged and never exercises any agency. He never thinks for himself. He always obeys.
This isn’t an accident. It’s a narrative machine built to make submission feel virtuous and independence feel dangerous.
Forrest Gump Wants You To Think You Have No Agency
In the movie’s final moments, Forrest tells the audience that there are only two possibilities to life: that everything is destiny or everything is random. Either possibility has the same commonality: you have no agency, you have no say in anything that happens to you. By the time the feather floats away, the audience has been trained to believe those two realities are the only possibilities, and that the best way through life is to follow orders, trust the system, and never ask why.

Life is a box of chocolates, and Forrest Gump teaches you to sit back and let life put whatever it wants in your mouth. So you cheer for the person who never questions. You mourn the person who does. You walk away thinking that’s just how the world works and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
Congratulations, obedient slaves, you’ve been screenwashed.

Blood found on Nancy Guthrie's porch was her own, sheriff says

Annie Guthrie and Husband Tommaso Cioni Got Imposter’s Ransom Texts
Annie Guthrie and husband Tommaso Cioni were the ones who received imposter Derrick Callella’s ransom text messages after Nancy Guthrie went missing.
According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, February 5, Annie and Cioni both received text messages from Callella after the Guthrie family — which includes Annie, Camron and Savannah Guthrie — made an emotional video addressing Nancy’s disappearance.
Callella, who is from Hawthorne, California, was arrested on Thursday and charged with transmitting a demand for ransom in interstate commerce without disclosing his identity and utilizing a telecommunications device with the intent to abuse, threaten, or harass a person.
“The Department of Justice will protect victims and families at all costs, and grief profiteers will be held accountable,” U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine said in a press release. “This case came together in under 24 hours because of the coordinated work of the FBI, local law enforcement and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.”
FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke also shared, “To those imposters who are trying to take advantage and profit from this situation – we will investigate and ensure you are held accountable for your actions.”
Both messages allegedly read, “Did you get the bitcoin were [sic] waiting on our end for the translation.”
Nancy, who lives in Tucson, was reported missing by her family on Sunday, February 1, after a friend noticed that she did not attend church that morning. Nancy, 84, was last seen on Saturday, January 31. Police believe that Nancy was abducted due to evidence found at her home and her mobility issues.

“Something unusual at that house occurred that made us go, ‘Wow, something’s wrong here. Something doesn’t fit,’” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos exclusively shared with Us on Monday, February 2. “We’re gonna pull all the stops and go at all angles. We really do hope it’s a search-and-rescue mission and we find her and she’s safe and sound. But it would be unjust if we didn’t look at what’s in front of us and go, ‘We need to act.’”
Amid the ongoing search for Nancy, Savannah and her siblings made an emotional video pleading for their mother’s safe return.
“On behalf of our family we want to thank all of you for the prayers for our beloved mom, Nancy. We feel them and we continue to believe that she feels them too,” Savannah said in a Wednesday, February 4, Instagram video while sitting alongside Annie and Camron. “Our mom is a kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light. She is funny, spunky and clever. She has grandchildren who adore her and crowd around her and cover her with kisses. She loves fun and adventure. She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her and you’ll see.”
The family also acknowledged the reports of an alleged ransom note.
“We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media,” Savannah said. “As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”
The FBI subsequently joined the investigation, and is offering a $50,000 reward for information about Nancy’s whereabouts. On Thursday, it was revealed that there was an arrest for an “imposter” ransom demand.
“We have made one arrest related to an imposter ransom demand, and a complaint will be presented to a magistrate judge later today,” Janke said during a press conference. “You will get more on that from the FBI and our U.S. Attorney’s office here in Arizona when it becomes available.”
Janke also shared some details about the note including a 5 p.m. deadline.
“First, I think [it] was 5 p.m. today, and then it had a second deadline after that,” he said. “So we are continuing in a normal kidnapping case, there would be contact by now trying to discuss that. But those are the time frames we’re looking at as we move forward.”

‘Industry’ Stars Myha’la, Marisa Abela, and Kit Harington Reveal Whether Yasmin Has Already Broken Henry
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Industry Season 4, Episode 4.]
Summary
One of the easiest ways to understand the HBO series Industry is to look at Harper Stern (Myha’la) and Yasmin Kara-Hanani (Marisa Abela), former co-workers at the now-defunct Pierpoint & Co. financial group, at its emotional center. Their friendship runs deep and their ambition can’t help but put them at odds, but no one understands them better than each other. Even still, Season 4 is testing that, as financial journalist James Dycker (Charlie Heaton) digs into the fintech company Tender, where Yasmin and her husband, Sir Henry Muck (Kit Harington), are working with its enigmatic co-founder Whitney Halberstram (Max Minghella).
During this interview with Collider, co-stars Myha’la, Abela and Harington discussed the sibling-like relationship between Yasmin and Harper, how long they’ve each come since they first met, that Abela and Harington try to find moments of real love between Henry and Yasmin, shooting that three-way scene in episode three, Harper’s own sexual machinations, and how hard it is for Harper to have Eric (Ken Leung) pull away from her.
Myha’la and Marisa Abela Think Harper and Yasmin’s ‘Industry’ Bond Is Ride or Die
“They have been through so much together that there’s no denying that they’re just beyond the point of no return.”
Collider: There’s such an interesting dynamic between Yasmin and Harper. They’ve been rivals who care about each other. They’ve been hostile toward each other. Their co-dependence has been a bit toxic at times. I’m always fascinated by watching them because I feel like if they share the same space for too long, they might either kill each other or just implode. How do you view the relationship between them?
MYHA’LA: I think they’re like sisters. People are like, “Are they friends? Are they enemies?” They’re sisters. When you have a sibling, you understand that there’s nothing that your sibling can say or do to you that’s going to make them not your family anymore. You’re stuck with them. They have been through so much together that there’s no denying that they’re just beyond the point of no return in terms of, is there anything they could do to not be friends or not support each other? No. I think they really crave a safe space because of all the stuff that they’ve gone through together. No one knows Harper better than Yasmin does. No one knows Yasmin better than Harper does. And they really need that.
‘Industry’ Season 4 Review: HBO’s Most Underrated Thriller Series Returns With a Dark New Chapter
‘Industry’ may share similarities with other HBO dramas, but it’s evolved into a definitive show of the moment.
MARISA ABELA: I see it the exact same way. They’ve come a long way since the people that they were when they met each other. I think that they keep each other honest. They reflect the most innocent versions of themselves back to each other because they knew each other at that point. I think it’s reassuring to see someone who sees that person in you still. They’re both masters at controlling a narrative about themselves, so to have another person that keeps them honest is actually really necessary.
Kit Harington Found It Very Natural to Movie Into the World of ‘Industry’ After ‘Game of Thrones’
“It’s got a lot of similarities to what I spent 10 years doing.”
Kit, you joined this series in Season 3. How quickly did you find your footing in this world? What’s it like to drop yourself into a show like this, where there is such a specific tone and vibe and delivery to it all? Does that actually make it easier, or are there specific challenges in figuring that out?
KIT HARINGTON: I found it very natural, moving into the show, actually. It’s got a lot of similarities to what I spent 10 years doing on Game of Thrones. It’s a huge ensemble show. I’ve realized recently that the thing I love more than anything in what we do is when we get in a room and chat shit. I think it’s underestimated how important those bits are, actors getting to know each other. When you step on set in Manchester, you know each other as friends, and that makes things sing on camera.
Myha’la, there is a comfort and confidence that Harper has in her own skin and body. Her sex scenes are interesting because sometimes they feel purely transactional and other times it feels like there is story being told. Does Harper have any actual emotional connection with anyone? Do you feel like it’s a fair assessment to say that it’s impossible for her to let people like her?
MYHA’LA: I feel like the only people that she’s ever had a romantic, intimate moment with were her ex, who gives her those forged transcripts, and maybe Robert. He kisses her in Season 1 and that is very honest. It doesn’t feel transactional, at all. She’s also not the one in either of those scenarios, initiating any sort of sexual thing with an end. It feels like those are two people who actually know her and two people who actually care about her. I would say the same about the kiss she shares with Yasmin. The reason it doesn’t feel transactional in those moments, to me, is because it’s with people who know her and care about her. All the other sex that she’s having is absolutely transactional. It is about getting off or a kink in power play with whoever it is that she’s sleeping with. It’s about feeding her own power. That’s why I said kink.
“I think she has way more agency than meets the eye. I would almost venture to say she has full agency,” says Shipka of her ‘Industry’ character.
Kit, there’s a moment in episode two when Yasmin tells Henry to stand up out of the bath, and he ends up telling her that she can be with other men if she wants to. What do you think that exchange between them says about their relationship?
HARINGTON: I think he’s at his lowest level of confidence there. He’s an incredible narcissist. He’s self-involved and an egotist. That doesn’t mean his confidence is particularly high. He’s going through something incredibly deep and traumatic, and she’s wanting to sexualize that moment. She thinks that’s the way to get him reinvigored, and it’s not. She goes from what is quite an intimate moment into something quite sexual. That throws him and his only defense is, “Go fuck someone else. Just leave me alone.” I think there’s quite a male quality to that. There’s a reverting-into-oneself, boyish quality. It’s desperately sad, actually. Me and Marisa [Abela] were keen, in that episode especially, to find the moments of real love and connection between them where we could, so we see that does exist and we care about that breaking down a bit quite quickly. There’s some real pathos to their relationship.
‘Industry’s Yasmin Is Always Vying for Power, Even With Her Own Husband
“She knows that she is the person that is able to provide a service.”
Marisa, in episode three, Yasmin is essentially in charge of her husband and Hayley being together. What was that dynamic like to figure out? Did you have conversations about how that would play out? What was that like to shoot?
ABELA: First of all, that stuff was in the script, so it was just deciding when those moments might happen and also how Yasmin feels about it. Does she feel the same way from the beginning to end of the scene? When it starts, she doesn’t necessarily really know where it’s going to go and how she’s going to feel about what it is that she’s doing, but she knows that there’s something in this. Yasmin is always searching for a way to be a powerful person in a room, and oftentimes she’s failing. In that moment, she is, without a doubt, successful at being the most powerful person in the room. I think it’s an origin story moment for Yasmin.
The way we see Yasmin go this season, she knows that she is the person that is able to provide a service for men, and she becomes invaluable to those men. For me, it was just about not losing sight of that. With intimacy scenes, there’s always a lot of just making sure that everyone feels safe, and it’s comfortable, and it feels right, and it doesn’t feel awkward, and that you are also able to continue to play your action like you would in any other scene, on top of the moment. I had two of my fellow actors being incredibly vulnerable in front of me, and it was my job to play the scene. The dynamics were just making sure everyone was comfortable enough that when they say action, I am Yasmin watching Henry and Hayley do this, and it’s believable.
Kit, what was that scene like for you?
HARINGTON: It was an interesting moment. I felt quite protective of Henry. He’s trying to change. He’s trying to be good. He’s trying to alter his core, and the person he’s falling in love with, his wife, undermines that quite badly and pushes him into something that he doesn’t want to do. I do think there’s an element of that scene of Henry being abused in some ways. He’s not comfortable doing it. Even though he goes through with it, he’s not comfortable, and it’s a schism in their relationship. It breaks it. And I think that Marisa’s character, Yasmin, has a lot to answer for in that moment. Henry’s historically very badly behaved around women and manipulative around women, but at that moment, he’s trying to change and she undermines it.
Heaton also talks about who Jonathan Byers might cast in his ‘Stranger Things’ movie, ‘The Consumer.’
Myha’la, how difficult is it for Harper to feel Eric pulling away?
MYHA’LA: It’s devastating. She’s been saying to him the entire season that she was not trying to get personal and that this was just business. It’s working really well, but it’s just business. She needs someone. She needs him on a really personal level. When her mother dies, they go to a place that feels very paternal. She cracks open the door and he kicks it open, and there they are. She trusts him and she says, “Okay, we’ve gotten here now.” As soon as she’s given him what he asks for, it feels like he totally pulls the rug out from underneath her, not just as her business partner, but now it’s as a paternal figure and he can’t give her an answer or a reason. She says, “We’re being honest with each other,” and he can’t do that with her.

Ethan Hawke Wants One Great Movie In Every Genre
Ethan Hawke has a morbid professional goal that he hopes to achieve before he calls time on his career.
The actor says he’d like his obituary to note that he starred in at least one great film in every genre possible. Hawke is known as much for the caliber of movies he’s often involved in as for the volume he produces.
In a recent late-night appearance, the “Training Day” star opened up about this relentless work ethic.

Ethan Hawke Reveals He Describes Himself As ‘Genre-Agnostic’

Hawke’s love of movies began at a very young age, leading him to land his first acting role at just 14.
The “Dead Poets Society” star recently appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where he discussed how that passion ultimately shaped him into the unbiased cinephile he is today.
“I grew up loving movies so much that I called myself genre agnostic,” Hawke said.
It was out of this appreciation for a wide range of genres that he says his morbid dream was born.
“I was thinking about what I wanted my obituary to say,” Hawke continued. “I want it to say, ‘This guy has one good movie in every genre.’”

Hawke Says He Wants To Star In A Will Ferrell-Style Comedy
Fallon and Hawke joked about the actor inching closer to his goal of claiming a great film in every genre.
“It’s getting scary,” Hawke admitted. “It makes me feel old that I actually have… I’ve checked a few off.”
When asked what genre he would like to try but hadn’t had the chance to, Hawke revealed that the one glaring miss on his CV was a Will Ferrell-style satire film.
“When I see movies like ‘Talladega Nights,’ I want to be in it so badly,” he said. “You’re friends with Will Ferrell, hook a brother up!”

Ethan Hawke Opens Up About Career Insecurities

Hawke might not have too much left to prove as an actor, but that has not always been the case.
During his late-night cameo on “The Tonight Show,” he spoke candidly about some of the insecurities he has faced, particularly in the early days of his career.
In one story, Hawke recalled begging for his portrait to be placed on the wall at Broadway’s iconic Sardi’s restaurant, despite having performed in only seven shows at the time.
“I remember I made a big deal that I was on Broadway, and I was only [in] seven performances,” Hawke said. “I begged Sardi’s, and they were nice enough to draw me a portrait.”

The Actor Details Dramatic Physical Transformation For ‘Blue Moon’ Role
Hawke had a typically busy 2025, with one of his standout performances coming in the film “Blue Moon.”
Sardi’s is in fact the location where the events of the film take place, with Hawke playing the role of legendary Broadway composer Lorenz Hart. For the part, he went through a meticulous process to nail the character’s specific balding look. The routine required Hawke to shave off a part of his head and leave another section for a comb-over.
The actor also revealed that the movie was shot with clever techniques to make his character appear shorter on screen.
“Sometimes we’d block the whole movie out, and we could build a trench about a foot shorter for me to walk through,” Hawke explained. “He was the smallest person in every room, and he was the biggest person in every room.”

Ethan Hawke Claims He Can’t Stop Himself From Working

Aside from “Blue Moon,” another major project from Hawke’s 2025 collection was “Black Phone 2.” He also stars in “The Weight,” which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2026.
One day after the festival debut, Hawke spoke to Variety about a wide array of topics, including why he never appears to slow down on work.
“Why can’t I sit still? Why do I work so much?” Hawke posed. “[Because] I love it.”
He explained that the key for him was seeing the impact his movies have on the viewers.
“Once you [have] felt that feeling of making something bigger than yourself and you watch it connect with audiences, I chase it,” Hawke said. “I’m just chasing.”

Former LA County Employee Charged With Trying to Scam Guthrie Family
A former LA County employee has been charged with attempting to scam Savannah Guthrie’s family as they continue their search for the Today anchor’s missing mother.
Los Angeles Magazine reported on Thursday, February 5, that Derrick Callella, was previously involved in an overtime theft case last October before having new federal charges leveled against him after he allegedly reached out to the family of missing grandmother Nancy Guthrie, 84.
Callella was one of 13 LA County employees charged with stealing $430,000 in unemployment benefits between 2020 and 2023.
“As government employees, we have an obligation to uphold the public’s trust,” Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan J. Hochman said via a press release in October 2025.
He continued: “When a civil servant steals from the government, that trust is broken. The scale of fraud in these cases is shocking, spanning seven different County agencies, including employees whose very job was to help the public determine whether they were eligible for public benefits. Most egregiously, these individuals allegedly claimed to be unemployed during the COVID pandemic when millions of Californians were legitimately in need of unemployment benefits. I thank Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller Oscar Valdez for his partnership and commitment to holding government employees accountable. Today, we are putting all government employees on notice: If you steal from taxpayers, you will be prosecuted.”
According to court documents seen by Us Weekly on Thursday, Callella was allegedly connected to what the FBI described as an “imposter” ransom scam after he contacted Nancy’s family following her disappearance.
Per a criminal complaint obtained by Us, Callella initially sent a text message to Savannah’s sister Annie Guthrie and Annie’s husband Tommaso Cioni.
The text read, “Did you get the bitcoin were [sic] waiting on our end for the transaction.”

Callella then allegedly made a phone call to an unidentified family member of Nancy, which lasted nine seconds.
Authorities tracked Callella down on Thursday morning, he admitted to sending the ransom demands. He told the FBI “that he pulled family information from a cyber website, and that he had been following along and watching TV.” He told authorities his text messages were an attempt to “see if the family would respond.”
FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge, Heith Janke, addressed the ransom note received by the Guthrie family via a press conference held on Thursday, February 5.
“I think we start to look at what the deadlines were in the note,” Janke shared. “First, I think [it] was 5 p.m. today, and then it had a second deadline after that. So we are continuing in a normal kidnapping case, there would be contact by now trying to discuss that. But those are the time frames we’re looking at as we move forward.”
Addressing the “imposter ransom” arrest, Janke added, “We have made one arrest related to an imposter ransom demand, and a complaint will be presented to a magistrate judge later today.”
He continued, “There’s no evidence to connect this to Nancy’s case. It was someone that was trying to profit off it.”
Janke also warned that authorities would come down hard on anyone trying to exploit the Guthries’ situation for profit.
“To those imposters who are trying to take advantage and profit from this situation, we will investigate and ensure you are held accountable for your actions,” he said. “This is an 84-year-old grandma that needs vital medication for her well being. You still have the time to do the right thing before this becomes a worse, much worse scenario for you.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the news of Nancy’s disappearance on Sunday, February 1, sharing a missing person report via X. Nancy was described as a “vulnerable adult” who was last seen “at her residence” within Arizona’s Catalina Foothills area on the evening of Saturday, January 31. The report noted that it is “unknown what clothing she may be wearing.”

Set a century before the events of Game of Thrones, the HBO series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms follows hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his young squire Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) as they wander through Westeros. Nothing is ever that simple, and when it’s revealed that Egg has been hiding that he’s really Prince Aegon Targaryen, it gets Dunk into trouble that will be resolved in a trial by combat. Learning that it will actually be the rarely practiced trial of seven, Dunk must find six additional men to fight alongside him or he’ll be declared guilty. By some miracle, after an impassioned plea, it all comes together for Dunk, but he’s not out of danger yet.
During this interview with Collider, co-stars Claffey and Ansell discussed the humor of this Westeros story, building the bond between Dunk and Egg, how Dunk feels about Egg’s betrayal, filming at the trial, the epicness of the moment when Dunk is looking for a final knight to join him, and whether Egg feels guilty about what he put in motion.
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Has a More Lighthearted Touch Than Other Stories Set in Westeros
“But you don’t want to make it all about being a comedy.”
Collider: A lighter, more comedic tale in Westeros doesn’t sound like something that ever would have happened, but here we are. What has it been like to find the comedic timing and the humor in an otherwise quite serious world? Was it something that you guys had conversations about and worked on, or do you feel like you really found the humor of it pretty quickly?
PETER CLAFFEY: We knew that (creator) Ira [Parker] really wanted to have this lighthearted touch to this Westerosy world, but you don’t want to make it all about being a comedy, make it all about jam and jokes down people’s throats, and make it too slapstick and forced. With all these situations, they are all very Game of Thrones-Westeros situations where there’s serious dramatic moments, but with every situation you have in your life, you can either keep it on the serious route or try and find the lighthearted humor in it. It was little things like dramatic moments exclamating conversations, like he hits his head off the wall walking out and takes the wrong turn to go down a hallway and come back. It was just trying to find those small nuances of comedy and allowing them to come through. It’s more of an organic, earthy tale spoken from the point of view of the small folk. When you’re not in these big, great halls with highborn people arguing over who’s to be the king of Westeros, there is an air of comedy that comes from those kind of country folk. I come from small town Ireland, and when you’re back there, no matter what you’ve doing or achieved, people are always ready to take the mick out of you, and Ashford has that same quality. It was just trying to dance along the line of that, for sure.
DEXTER SOL ANSELL: The funniest bit for me is probably one of the first scenes when Dunk is walking through in Ashford and there’s this guy with the horse, and he goes, “Are you Baelor Targaryen?” It’s the funniest scene.
The ‘Game of Thrones’ series is not told chronologically.
CLAFFEY: It’s those little awkward interactions.
ANSELL: Yeah, they make the show.
CLAFFEY: I think it draws the comedy out of Egg as well. As a highborn person, that interaction with these people …
ANSELL: … It’s just really funny.
CLAFFEY: Yeah.
Is Dunk and Egg’s Bond in ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Strong Enough To Make It Through the Young Squire’s Betrayal?
“Dunk is not the brightest spark in Westeros.”
To jump into spoilers, we learn in episode three that Egg lied to dunk about who he is. Peter, prior to that reveal, what did Dunk see in Egg that made him want to take him on as squire? And how do you think it made him feel to learn that not only had he been lied to, but he’s really put into a bunch of things that he was not expecting because of that lie?
CLAFFEY: It is betrayal. Dunk is not the brightest spark in Westeros, of course. He tries to see the goodness in everybody, and he really sees a lot of himself and believes that Egg is from Flea Bottom and has journeyed here and tried to make something of himself. He thinks, “What would Ser Arlan do?” He brought him on as his squire, and he thinks it’s his duty to bring this young lad from the same place as him, when he says he’s from King’s Landing. It’s just complete and utter confusion and then betrayal to think that this prince of the realm knew that he would get this man in serious trouble, but he just couldn’t help himself but want to be a squire and be in the tourney.
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Star Reveals the Scene George R. R. Martin Praised on Set
The series premieres on January 18.
I think it’s a massive testament to the relationship and the bond that they build in the first half of The Hedge Knight, to see that those things not only fizzle out, but they end up together and they want to go off and see the world. At that very end point when Egg shows up, Dunk may not show it, but I knew filming it that he’s incredibly happy to see him. It was hard to leave him behind. Seeing as the way things unfolded towards the end, Dunk definitely feels that he has a duty to Westeros to try and provide them with some decent king or some good Targaryen that could replace the person that he feels at fault for taking.
There Was an Epicness to Dunk’s ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Trial of 7 Moment
“There were a thousand people around.”
There’s that really big moment in episode four when Dunk is trying to get everybody together so they can have this battle, and then Prince Baelor Targaryen comes in to say that he’s going to join you and you have the sweeping Game of Thrones music. What is it like to film a moment like that, especially when you don’t have all the music that comes with it and everything else on set? Does it still feel like a very important moment to shoot?
CLAFFEY: Yeah, it was. Ever since I got into this, the beauty of film sometimes gets taken from you. It’s kind of a sacrificial thing to become an actor because those things, a lot of the time, are not as flashy as they seem on screen. The thing with the speech on horseback, trying to add somebody for a sixth, that felt as cinematic as it looks, for sure. But those bits are so bitty and you have to pick them up from so many different ways. It’s a hard thing. But that was a big day on set. There was a lot of crowd. There were a thousand people around. You have all these horses. You have everybody dressed up as knights and in armor. There was an epicness to it. You have to deliver that, “Are there no true knights among you?” bit, and you see the gates open. Even without the music, it did feel amazing. But I’m so glad about how that turned out with the music. It’s insane.
ANSELL: I think really, for any movie, no matter what style of the movie, the music makes it. If it’s a horror movie, in real life, it’s not going to be scary, looking and seeing a monster behind you. I’ve done this loads of times and it’s so fascinating, but if you put like a horror movie on, and then you turn the music off and turn the sound off, it doesn’t feel scary. It honestly feels like a comedy.
CLAFFEY: Yeah. So true.
The series premieres on January 18.
Dexter, do you think, at any point, that Egg feels guilty for what he’s set in motion?
ANSELL: A bit. He feels a bit guilty, but he knows he’s done the right thing. Honestly, it’s not his fault his family is horrible to him. And it’s not his fault that Dunk chose him. A tiny bit, but he’s really just annoyed it had to go this way. But it turns out good.

Day Trip Essentials for When You’re Broke
Economy’s Trash … Flights Are a Joke
What You Need for Mini Getaways
Published
TMZ may collect a share of sales or other compensation from links on this page.
We’ll be real here … the economy’s not in a great spot right now, and not all of us have the bread to go sun ourselves at one of the places where they filmed “The White Lotus” when we’ve got time off.
If you need a solution we’ve got one for you: day trips are the way to go! Gas up the car, let someone know where you’re going, and let the open road be your travel buddy as you broaden your horizons.
The thing is, you’re always better off with gear on these trips … and we’ve put together a list of travel accessories that should elevate your travel experience from stunning to stylish — effortlessly so, we should add.
TMZ Cheatsheet: Essentials For Effortlessly Memorable Day Trips
Just because you’re going into the great outdoors doesn’t mean you should leave the essentials at home, and we think this crossbody bag from The North Face is the perfect way to carry them when you finally get out of your car and get a breath of fresh air.
Strap this sucker over your shoulder, make sure your car’s locked, and you’re pretty much all set to let your imagination handle the rest on your trip.
Portable Phone Charger
You know the only thing worse than running into poison oak when you’re roughing it through Big Sur? Not having any charge left in your phone to Google what to do about it!
Don’t worry, though, this sleek and stylish portable phone charger is the perfect fix for tough times like those … this little guy can really save lives.
If you’re going to be spending long stretches of time on the road, having solid eye protection is going to be way more important than you think in getting you where you wanna go.
That’s where these Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses come in … these OGs should keep the sun out of your eyes while you conquer the open road — and you’ll look great doing it, too!
Dehydration is so overrated — especially when you’re off-roading out in Joshua Tree and your head starts to hurt because you forgot your water at home!
Listen, we’ve been there, and we wish we would have had this Hydro Flask with us when it happened … you best believe we learned our lesson!
There’s a lot of ground to cover out there in the great outdoors, and we wanna make sure you look sharp the whole time … hence these New Balance sneakers.
These things can stand up to a whole day of sightseeing — and they’re not hard to stand on for a whole day, either!
Shisedo Clear Sunscreen Stick
UV damage is no joke, and we don’t want you getting too well done when you’re soaking up the sun out there — we think giving this clear sunscreen stick from Shisedo would be a pretty solid move for your outdoor excursions.
We know you’ve probably got your skincare routine all figured out, and this shouldn’t mess with it too much … just pop it into your crossbody bag, pull it out when the sun’s a little too intense for you, and keep those wrinkles away!
Need something to cap off your outfit when you’re getting ready to head out on your day trip? We’d suggest this neutral dad hat for adding a little extra something-something to your wardrobe, especially if you’re gonna be out in the sun.
Plus, these things come in plenty of different colors, so if you need to change up your ‘fit just a bit, get a few and keep them in your car to switch your look on a dime!

General Hospital: Chase’s Dangerous Obsession with Willow Destroys His Life!
General Hospital sees Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) still totally fooled into thinking that Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) is innocent. It looks like him being so naive about her is about to ruin everything for him—first his career and soon, maybe, his marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton).
We’re going to talk about how Chase and Brook Lynn might fall apart soon. Because even though Willow was found not guilty, Chase isn’t going to stop. He also wants to prove that Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson)’s guilty, which would fully confirm her innocence.
Willow’s Shocking Transformation on General Hospital
At one point, I think we can all agree Willow did seem like a decent human being. But that was before Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison) got his claws into her. Now Willow is getting worse by the day. I suspect everybody in Port Charles is going to know the truth about her eventually, but I’m not sure Chase will ever believe that she’s bad. Ever since Willow was accused of shooting Drew, we’ve seen Chase as her biggest champion. He has defended Willow left and right.
Chase Risks Everything for Willow on GH
Chase was investigating the shooting in his own time to try and prove Willow is innocent, even while the PCPD was building a case against her and had some pretty good evidence. Bottom line, Chase put his career on the line by taking Willow’s side.
Chase was adamant that it was worth it to prove that Willow was framed. To be fair, Chase was thoroughly convinced that Michael not only shot Drew but framed Willow for his crime. Now, Chase has ruined his friendship with Michael because of this false assumption of Willow’s innocence.
Even worse, Chase has also just about ruined his friendship with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna), who was his best friend. He defended Willow and accused Dante of bias and of protecting his brother, Michael, at all costs. When Chase was on the stand at Willow’s trial, he was really hard on Dante.
We saw Chase saying under oath at the trial that he thinks the PCPD went about the investigation the wrong way. Chase said they didn’t investigate anybody else; they targeted Willow. Of course, Dante was furious and so was DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor).
The Fallout of Chase’s Demotion to Beat Cop
After that, Chase got demoted back to beat cop and now his professional future is at risk. It’s kind of sad because Willow is 100% guilty and Chase is totally wrong about her. We all know Willow is headed down an even darker path.
Once her twisted secrets come out, Chase is going to look like an even bigger fool. Once all the ugly truth comes out, it is going to be egg on his face. If you remember, this Willow fiasco isn’t the first time Chase jeopardized his career as a cop over a woman.
He did it before—and not just any woman, mind you, but Willow’s awful twin sister, Nelle Benson (Chloe Lanier). This was part of Chase’s pre-Port Charles history. Back in the day, before Nelle also wound up in Port Charles, she killed somebody close to her.
Chase was assigned to work the murder case of Nelle’s fiancé, Zachary Grant, down in Florida. The guy had money and Nelle convinced him to push his family away and leave everything to her in his will. Then Nelle killed her fiancé and tried to make it look like a kayaking accident.
History Repeats Itself with Wicked Twins Nelle & Willow
The entire family swore that Nelle had killed him, but she swore she was innocent. Then Chase got assigned to the case and Nelle seduced him into believing her. Chase fell for Nelle’s innocent act.
Chase was wrong then, too, because Nelle was guilty just like Willow is now. But Chase has been telling anybody who will listen that Willow is innocent and she isn’t the kind of person that could shoot somebody. It turns out Chase is very wrong.
Willow has changed. At this point, she’s pretty much pure evil. Chase got suckered by one twin, Nelle, and now the other twin, Willow, has him thoroughly fooled and all twisted up.
This week we’re going to see Brook Lynn upset at Chase. She confronts him because it doesn’t seem like it’s enough for him that Willow was acquitted at trial. Chase really wants Michael to go down for this. They even came to blows over it.
Brook Lynn Reaches Her Breaking Point on General Hospital
BLQ is ranting at Chase and asking, “Why won’t you let this go?” I think he’s also being insensitive to his wife because Willow’s twin sister, Nelle, is the reason Brook Lynn can’t sing anymore. Do you remember that? Nelle slashed Brook Lynn’s throat backstage at the Nurses Ball several years ago.
That’s not on Willow, that’s on Nelle, but Chase got played by Nelle and now he’s getting played by Willow. Chase seems willing to ruin his career over Willow. Unless he does something drastic to alter the course he’s on, Chase is going to ruin his marriage over Willow also.
The bottom line is Chase should be putting his wife first before anybody else. Instead, Chase keeps putting time and energy into trying to prove Michael’s guilt. It is as if it’s not enough that the jury found Willow not guilty.
In the end, Chase is going to look like the biggest fool in the world when the final truth comes out. I suspect that’ll happen sooner rather than later because Willow’s current scheme to frame Michael for shooting Drew is going to blow up in her face.

Will Chase Exit Port Charles?
That is confirmed in General Hospital spoilers. In the end, I think Willow is going to be exposed for shooting Drew but can’t be arrested for it since she already faced trial. However, Willow could be prosecuted if they find out she caused Drew’s stroke.
I’m hoping she’s also busted for messing with baby Daisy and driving Sasha Gilmore (Sofia Mattsson) out of the country. In the short run, Willow’s plot to frame Michael may gain traction, especially after she slipped Drew’s spare key onto Michael’s key ring.
I’m sure Chase is going to feel justified for a while. He may push back on Brook Lynn and tell his wife, “Look, see, I was right. It was Michael.” But eventually, Willow’s lies are going to catch up with her. Her world’s going to come crashing down and Chase is going to look like an idiot for defending Willow.
Chase Eats Crow on General Hospital
Chase is going to owe Michael, Dante, and most of all his wife Brook Lynn an apology for his actions. All this has Chase and BLQ’s marriage on a rocky path. Part of that is down to Chase wanting to adopt and Brook Lynn continuing to push back and put those plans on hold.
I suspect things are going to get worse for Chase and Brook Lynn until Willow is finally exposed. All of this may be setting the stage for Josh Swickard’s exit from General Hospital. We reported a leak from a reliable source a while back that said Chase was going to be written off GH and Swickard would be exiting.
Now that Dante suspended Chase and he got busted down to beat cop, he’s thinking of leaving law enforcement. You would think after Nelle snowballed Chase that he would learn to be more cautious, especially around women from this gene pool.
In the end, I am really afraid that Chase is going to ruin his life and his marriage over this Willow fixation. It could cost Chase everything. I think all that could be to lay the groundwork for his character’s exit. We’ll see.

Perfect, R-Rated 1970s Crime Thriller Is A Heist Turned Media Circus
By Robert Scucci
| Published

After watching 1975’s Dog Day Afternoon critically, and for the first time as an adult, I might have to go out on a limb here and say that Al Pacino is my favorite comedian. I remember passively watching this one on cable when I was a kid, but the minor details were fuzzy, and I was long overdue for a proper rewatch. I could give you the usual spiel about how Dog Day Afternoon is based on a real-life hostage situation orchestrated by John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturile, but I’ve made my feelings clear about how source material is used countless times, and that applies here as well.
Fully understanding that creative liberties are always taken in this context, I’m simply here to watch a movie for entertainment’s sake, and I’m actually disappointed with myself for not getting to this one sooner. It’s billed as a biographical crime drama for obvious reasons, but it’s funnier than it has any right to be thanks to Al Pacino’s portrayal of a bank robber who is completely out of his depth. If anything, it plays more like a comedy of errors, where each escalation creates even more unintended spectacle.
Failure To Prepare Is Preparing To Fail

Dog Day Afternoon wastes no time getting into its heist, and it deliberately avoids showing any of the planning that took place beforehand. You’ll soon see why, because it’s painfully evident that Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino), Sal Naturile (John Cazale), and Stevie (Gary Springer) are grossly unprepared to rob the First Brooklyn Savings Bank in every conceivable way. For starters, they clearly didn’t do any kind of loyalty test, because Stevie immediately changes his mind and bolts.
Sonny then struggles to pull his gun out of the flower box he used to smuggle it inside the bank, which does nothing to make him look intimidating. He’s further humbled when he realizes the bank already completed its daily cash pickup, leaving him and Sal with just over a thousand dollars to show for their efforts. Frustrated, Sonny sets fire to the bank’s ledger, which attracts outside attention and quickly results in the police surrounding the building. With no exit strategy, Sonny and Sal are forced to hold everyone hostage while they try to figure out what to do next.

As the hours tick by, the press becomes an increasingly dominant presence outside, and Detective Sergeant Eugene Moretti (Charles Durning) urges Sonny to step out for negotiations. Sonny, having no real grasp on bank robbing protocol, insists on running everything by Sal first. Through these conversations, Sonny’s true motive comes into focus. He was trying to raise money for his lover Leon’s (Chris Sarandon) gender reassignment surgery, only to learn that his actions may have made Leon an accessory to the crime.
Pacino’s Comedic Timing Is Next Level
Before Sonny starts making demands for a jet to stage his escape, Dog Day Afternoon truly shines thanks to how Pacino carries himself throughout the ordeal. Sonny is borderline bumbling in his attempts to control the situation, and it’s the small throwaway moments that really sell it. When a hostage asks if they can use the bathroom, Sonny casually asks another teller where the bathroom is. That’s not a question a competent bank robber should ever be asking, because a competent one would have cased the place weeks or months earlier.

Whenever Sonny is presented with a counteroffer to one of his demands, he averts his eyes and mutters that he needs to consult with his partner before locking the bank down again. The earnestness behind Pacino’s portrayal of a man who is wildly unqualified for the situation lands so well because of how seriously he plays it. The humor is further amplified by just how bored the hostages seem to be. They quickly realize they’re not in immediate danger and mostly just wait things out, humoring Sonny as he continues to dig himself deeper.

Holding a near-perfect balance between crime thriller and comedy of errors, Dog Day Afternoon remains such a satisfying watch because of how fully Al Pacino commits to the premise. In Sonny’s mind, this is deadly serious business. For the audience, the comedy comes from watching someone this ill-equipped try to control a situation that keeps slipping further away from him, and it’s still a joy to watch unfold over 50 years later.

Dog Day Afternoon is streaming for free on Tubi as of this writing.
