New Show Introduction: Wild Cards

Posted in New Shows, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on January 13, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The new drama Wild Cards will debut on The CW on January 17 at 8 PM.

Cole Ellis (Giacomo Gianniotti) is a demoted detective who has begrudgingly spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max Mitchell (Vanessa Morgan) has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But while arrested and being held at the station, Max ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime. The two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves – Ellis needs to get back to his detective post and Max needs to stay out of jail.

The catch?

They have to work together, each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, disguises, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. The two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners. Jason Priestley also stars.

Here is a trailer for Wild Cards:

Movie of the Week Reminder: Love on Retreat

Posted in Movies, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on January 10, 2024| Leave a Comment »

On January 14, the UPtv movie Love on Retreat will debut at 7 PM.

When beauty brand Bloom decides to close its flagship store and focus on online sales, content creator Jenny (Ansley Gordon) must find a way to deal with the backlash from their loyal fanbase and spin the news into a positive thing via their social media.

On top of that, Bloom is pivoting to eco-friendly products and a wellness angle, so Jenny spends the seaside corporate retreat in Miami trying to capture the “life” in “work/life balance.” Her drive to achieve clashes with the chill vibe of activities director Nate (Jonathan Stoddard).

Sparks fly between these two as Jenny realizes Nate is a thrill-seeker who has work/life balance figured out, but there’s one problem, he’s the brother of her boss.

Here is a trailer for Love on Retreat:
