This episode of Chicago Fire  really stuck with me—not because of some massive explosion or high-stakes rescue, but because it felt so honest. Everything was grounded in real emotion. It wasn’t flashy, it wasn’t loud. It was just real. The loss of Monica hangs over the entire episode like a heavy fog. And for Chief Pascal, it’s more than just losing a colleague, it’s losing his wife. The investigators say it was just a tragic accident. The other driver, Franklin, wasn’t drunk, wasn’t high. The light was blinking yellow. By all accounts, no one was technically at fault. But for Pascal, that’s not something he can wrap his head around. He knew Monica. He knew how cautious she was, how she double-checked everything, how she lived her life with care. To him, this can’t just be some random twist of fate. It doesn’t add up, and that quiet refusal to accept it, that heartbreak, drives everything he does because in his mind someone has to be responsible for Monica’s death.  The rest of the firehouse is struggling with how to support him. They care, but they don’t want to push. It’s like everyone’s walking on eggshells, trying to figure out how close is too close. Then there’s this one moment, simple but powerful, where Herman and a Cruz  stop by the funeral home and speak to Monica’s sister Olivia. They bring flowers and condolences. Nothing dramatic. No speeches. Just a small, thoughtful gesture. A way to say, “We’re still here.” Olivia didn’t expect it, and you could see how much it meant. That little act of kindness hit harder than anything else. Meanwhile, life at the house keeps moving. There’s talk of filling an open spot on the engine, and Severide’s brother Damon comes up. It’s complicated. Damon’s had a rough past. He’s trying to turn things around, but not everyone’s sold. Some folks want to give him a shot. Others are worried it’ll come off as favoritism. And because he’s family, every decision feels a little heavier. There’s no right answer, and everyone’s trying to do what’s fair while still nursing their own emotional wounds. The main factor is that Pascal is adamant that he doesn’t want to bring Damon back. The conversation with Sevearine was brutal, but a lot of that was the pain that Pascal is feeling coming through.  In the middle of all this, they get a call, an emergency that snaps them back into that “go mode.” A man named Bill is being repeatedly shocked by a faulty defibrillator. It’s chaotic.  But the team pulls it together. They use a magnet to disable the device and get him to the hospital just in time. Violet and Novak were quick, focused, and intense and it reminds you why these characters are heroes. No matter what they’re dealing with personally, they show up. Every single time. Back at the firehouse, the tension is still simmering. Pascal  mentions spotting Franklin’s house, to Severide and this is not good. Severide asks the chief how he knows where Franklin lives, suddenly there’s this silent, collective worry, did Chief Pascal go there? Is he thinking about doing something? No one says it out loud at first, but the fear is there. Eventually, Severide sits down with him and speaks the truth. He tells him not to cross that line. That revenge won’t bring Monica back. That going down that road will only destroy what’s left of him. And for a moment, it feels like those words may have saved him from doing something he couldn’t undo. Pascal listens to Severide but still is having problems with the fact they are not charging Franklin in Monica’s death. Pascal goes to each lieutenant Herman, Kidd, and Severide and he says to go back through the accident report to make sure it is one hundred percent accurate. They all return to him and let him know they are not changing their report because it was all true. Just then Pascal looks lost, defeated, but he seems to know that deep down it was just a bad accident. He tells them that Damon can come back to firehouse 51 permanently then walks away.  The final moments of the episode are quiet but incredibly powerful. Pascal has said all episodes that the service was for family only, he wouldn’t even give the funeral arrangements out. Firehouse 51 found out where the service was and they all showed up for the chief. When Pascal sees them he says the service is for family. Mountbatten says we know chief that’s why we are here. This was eye opening for Pascal because if he didn’t know they were family before he knows now. Someone tells Pascal, “You can’t go it alone. You’ve got to let people back in.” When these words are being said we see Pascal looking at photos of Monica at the memorial service. And then—just a pause, a breath—and they say, “I miss you.” That one simple line hits like a punch to the chest. It says everything without trying to say too much. This episode wasn’t about the job. It was about what comes after. The heartbreak. The loneliness. The messy, fragile process of grieving. It was about being there for each other when there’s nothing left to say. And that’s what made it so good—because sometimes, the most powerful stories are the quiet ones.

This episode of Chicago Med  tugged on the heartstrings big time. It was slow-moving, emotional and it actually felt like a breath of fresh air in the midst of the usual chaos in the hospital. It begins with Dr. Ripley lying in his hospital bed, recovering and waiting to hear if the board will suspend him or grant him another opportunity. Dr. Frost visits to speak with him, and although Ripley is clearly uneasy, he’s also trying to let go of things beyond his control. He’s more concerned with getting better than with the board’s decision. Frost offers his support, but Ripley is oddly calm even though his career could be over.  Meanwhile, Nurse Maggie is also being shadowed by Ainsley, an actress who’s following her around for the day in preparation for a role where she’s playing a nurse. You’d think she’d just be there for appearances, but she’s curious and engaged, really wanting to get the cadence and emotional weight of working in a hospital. Maggie goes out of her way to introduce her to the real work, not the TV version. There’s a sense of respect that starts to build between them, which is nice to watch. Next up is Liam a 12-year-old who’s been rushed into the emergency room because he is vomiting up blood. His dad, Mrs. Russell, is not taking it very graciously. Instead of discussing Liam’s health issues, Mrs. Russell continues to place the blame on social media or television and refuses even to consider the possibility that his son is struggling with his identity. Dr. Charles interrupts with a gentle explanation that sexual orientation is not caused but who a person is. But Mrs. Russell will not be dissuaded. It’s the kind of scene it’s hard to sit through, not because of the words spoken but because of the unspoken words. In the meantime, Angela is in the waiting room, trying to hold it together as her daughter, Josephine, is in surgery. She’s just beside herself with guilt, thinking that little choices she made years ago initiated this accident somehow. Sharon Goodwin comes to sit with her, and it’s this gorgeous moment. She doesn’t try to fix it all she just listens. No judgment, no pressure. Just sincere, solid support from someone who knows how to hold space for people in crisis. Things get complicated when Ainsley sees Dr. Frost knowing she and Frost have a history. Ainsley brings it up with him, maybe in search of closure or acceptance, but Frost brushes it off in a hurry. Later on, Frost admits they did have a relationship when she was young and it was not quite right. Ainsley brushes it off and says it’s in the past, but you know it’s not quite so simple. Her line—“it wasn’t nothing”—stays with you. The conversation is left unresolved and you can tell Frost is uncomfortable because he was underage when they were involved. Maggie tries to talk to Frost and tell him she saw the fear in his eyes, but Frost defends himself and Ainsley. Later when Ainsley wants to go to dinner Frost is clear their relationship was in the past and he has no intention or interest in starting up again.  Sharon visits Angela, who is in waiting mode. Angela collapses into tears and fatigue and Sharon is just. there. Calm and present and kind. She says to Angela the team is doing everything they possibly can and her words have gravity not because they’re dramatic but because they’re real. It’s the kind of moment where you’re reminded why Sharon is the heart of the hospital. And finally, we come back to Ripley. Sharon delivers the news: the board voted to reinstate him. He’s in shock and relieved, but doesn’t break into a smile. He simply tells Sharon immediately that he’s committed to proving to everyone that he’s changed. She hears him but is not convinced. “Words are nice,” she says, “but I will be watching your actions.” It’s a subdued but effective scene. Ripley gets a text from Hannah saying that she will drop in to see him, and the simple note brings a glimmer of hope with it as the episode ends. What was so memorable about the episode wasn’t a huge twist or a cliffhanger—it was emotional truth. Everybody was a bit more vulnerable, a bit more human. It reminded us that underneath the scrubs and the stethoscopes, these characters are human beings attempting to navigate messy relationships, loss, second chances, and the weight of doing the right thing. And it’s what made it so memorable.

Richard and Meredith finally were on the same page on this week’s Grey’s Anatomy with Richard agreeing that the transplant committee needed to be informed of Tasha’s condition before she has the transplant surgery. It is about time that Richard let it go regarding Meredith honoring Catherine’s wishes. His anger has been misplaced for too long. Ben continued to step out of line and not realize that he is starting from scratch. I understand his need to do more as he has decades of experience as a doctor and now a first responder, but the hospital let him back as an intern and he needs to remember that. He also needs to remember that his placement at Grey Sloan is not guaranteed. Blue is going thru it has Molly suffered a medical emergency, a seizure. He enlisted Lucas and Ameila to help Molly. At first, she would not agree but then Ameila advised she could possibly help get her memories back. Let’s go! Nora is all up in Owen’s business and Cass is back at Grey Sloan and trying to heat things up with Teddy. Owen and Teddy are super boring and just need to give it up at this point. Owen truly only had chemistry with Christina and Teddy I can do without out so put her with Cass and send her on her way. Bailey can be chief again. At the end of the hour of course a solution was made by all of our lovely doctors. A la Oprah “everyone gets a liver” and we get to save all our patients. Richard again finally forgave Meredith and that storyline has been put to rest. Nick and Meredith agreed on something so they can leave Seattle and Ellen can go film her new series airing on Hulu currently. We still have some lingering storylines to wrap up for the rest of the season, however. What did you think of the episode? Drop a comment and remember to vote in our poll.

Abbott Elementary is back this week and we are picking up right where we left off with the events in “Audit” a la Ava’s firing. Gregory has stepped in as acting principal and if you recall way back when to the first season, that was Gregory’s goal, to be a principal, so this is (definitely) a bittersweet moment for him. It does not go well for him. The morning announcements were a bit much and of course he has a hard time trying to understand Ava’s system of doing things. Janelle James truly shines in this series. Even though I felt that Ava was doing a bit too much bullying, the series would not be the same without her. After all we know that Ava has her hands in many things and being at Abbott Elementary is not Ava’s only source of income. Manny advises Janine that there is a way to try to save Ava’s job at an appeal hearing but Ava lets it be known she is perfectly fine and rich. She will forever be rich and will forever be THAT GIRL. Janine is worried about Ava not caring about losing her job which makes Janine even more determined to get Ava’s job back. Everyone knows that Janine cannot mind her own business. She has to help everyone. Barbara takes over the music class. The students catch her off guard by saying Jesus was the first person to go viral. Hilarious stuff. Even thought the episode is titled Music Class, the Ava storyline was more interesting. Ava now does speaking engagements since her Ed Talk was such a success and of course her new gig as a public speaker is doing well, she has a group of fans. When the crew come to talk to her, they realize how well she is doing and perhaps she does not need the job at Abbott Elementary. Janine realizes that she was taking it too hard. When Melissa needs to update a student’s file, Gregory cannot decode the new filing system Ava put in place, he asks for her help and she proves once again home much she cares for the community.

Morris Chestnut will be back to grace our screens again as CBS announces that Watson has been renewed for a second season. In today’s tv landscape it is quite difficult for a new show to get another season so hats off to the cast and crew for pulling off a sophomore renewal. Watson  is a reimagining of the classic story of Sherlock Holmes but this time the story focuses on his partner and best friend for life – Dr. John Watson with Morris Chestnut in the lead role. Also starring Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Inga Schlingmann, Ritchie Coster, and Rochelle Aytes in supporting roles. Watson ‘s first episode was watched by an incredible 18.7 million multi-platform (live tv and streaming) viewers, making it CBS’ most-watched scripted episode. So, it is a no brainer that the show picked up an early renewal. Watson takes place after the death of Sherlock Holmes with a six-month time jump. John finds himself running a clinic alongside the smartest doctors in the world solving the insolvable cases that no one else would touch. The show brings a realness that resonates, (with fans) and Morris Chestnut is always a fan favorite in his roles. He also is very engaging on his social media platforms. Now that CBS has announced the renewal of Watson for a second season, along with some cancellation news for other shows (like S.W.A.T), there are two shows left that we await word on – The Equalizer and Poppa’s House. Each show could go either way. Stay tuned for more news regarding those two shows. We here at Je-Ree Reviews Media drop weekly reviews and recaps of Watson  so fans are never out of touch.

Last night’s all new episode of The Rookie titled “Speed” paid homage to the throwback movie of the same name starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves — and it was one of their best this season yet ( second place to Nyla’s story arc though ). As part of a police initiative, Celina and John go undercover riding a bus as a way to deter crime on buses, but little did they know a man with a bomb would make their day hell. As an obvious nod to Speed , the bus is not allowed to stop under any circumstances. Luckily for them, the speed of the bus had nothing to do with whether or not the bomb went off, it was just two  idiot brothers, one of which had the bomb strapped to himself.  Celina attempts to disarm one of the brothers, but he ends up getting shot (by his own brother –insane). He needs medical attention, but his brother refuses to allow that to happen and says a doctor needs to come on the bus. Grey says he can’t get him a doctor, but will get him the next best thing. Bailey shows up ( let’s all pretend to be surprised ) to help. With an assist from SWAT she manages to jump onto the bus.  What I don’t get is why there had to be constant mention about her from other people as if they haven’t done badass things themselves. Lucy doubted herself because she doesn’t think she compares to Bailey when, as Tim mentions, she did the same thing not too long ago. Mind you, that was without  SWAT’s help. Nyla tells John that  Bailey needed to save some glory for the rest of them – can we not? Her praise felt forced and unnatural.  The bus heist ends with John taking down the man with the bomb (again, let’s all pretend to be surprised) and it’s all over– at least for now. When a few hostages were released, one of them was a pregnant woman who turned out to not be pregnant and was there for other ulterior motives. We don’t know what that is yet, but what we do know is that our favorite red-headed lawyer is involved somehow which is never a good thing.  Finally, the start to a conversation we’ve all been waiting for happened between Tim and Lucy (our beloved Chenford). Tim has always been ready to talk, but it had to be on Lucy to start the conversation. She tells him that she’s not seeing anyone and doesn’t plan on it – her focus is on the Sergeant exam. She also tells him that she hasn’t forgiven him yet (which is fair and honest and I am so happy she said this), but when that day comes she would want his help studying for the exam.  Wanting to give Lucy a taste of what it would be like to be Sergeant, Tim allows her to make all the calls while they ride together on shift. Lucy is a natural at anything she puts her mind to, and what I loved seeing in this episode is that, for once, she didn’t doubt herself. I’m used to her asking for validation with everything, but no, not this time around. Okay (soon to be Sergeant) Lucy, I see you!  This was one of those episodes that had you glued to the screen until it was over – no it wasn’t the storyline, but mostly how the episode was shot. The multiple camera angles made the story telling easy to follow and it was so refreshing. I thought this was going to be another storyline whiplash situation ( let’s keep this pace for the rest of the season, PLEASE ). What’d you think of the episode? Share your thoughts!

What a season finale of The Irrational ! This episode really takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and suspense. The story kicks off with Alec still laser-focused on getting Derek out of Russia. There's a lot going on with Derek Johnson’s imprisonment, and Alec’s clearly drained, but his determination to see things through is palpable. The stakes have never been higher, and he’s juggling it all with his usual mix of intellect and grit. Alec negotiating this exchange has been a lot and trying to get Yuli to include Derek in the exchange. Boris being the big get for Russia they are willing to include Derek after much debate only to try and back out of the deal, much to Alec’s dismay.  Alec is running on empty by this point, but he pushes through, uncovering hidden truths and keeping the operation together. His exhaustion is clear, especially as he reflects on how much of his life has been consumed by these high-stakes missions. You can see he’s starting to question whether the cost of it all is worth it. Meanwhile, Rose has a moment of reckoning of her own. She's offered the chance to return to MI6, which would be a huge career move, but the offer comes at a price. You can see she's torn, and this world she’s been a part of has shaped her, but at the same time, she’s changed. Her relationship with Alec is becoming more central to her decision-making, and it’s clear she’s looking for a different kind of balance.   The action doesn’t slow down, though. The tension builds around the sabotage attempts on the prisoner exchange, including the bomb on the plane. Alec and his team, as expected, manage to disable it just in time. But things get even messier when they uncover the mastermind behind everything—a former FSB agent Yuli who had orchestrated the whole plot to frame Boris and stop the exchange.  Alec, for his part is, contemplating his next move, looking to carve out a new path on his own terms. In a way, both Alec and Rose are at a crossroads. Marissa’s also navigating a similar situation, deciding to sell her place and start over. For all of them, it’s about closing one chapter and moving on to something new. The finale also gives us a quiet but powerful moment when Alec is deciding which picture to use for his book. He picks the scarred one, acknowledging everything he’s been through and how it’s shaped him. It’s a small, yet significant choice that speaks volumes about his character. And of course, Rose’s decision to move on from MI6 and letting Alec know that she has decided to open her own investigation agency in DC because she wants to make their relationship a priority that they are both ready to make. This step answers the question from the beginning of the season. Will Rose choose Alec? We now know the answer and it warms my heart to see season 2 end with Rose and Alec solid.   Just when it seems like things are winding down, things take a turn. Alec realizes he’s being followed, setting up the next season of his story. It’s that signature "The Irrational" suspense, keeping us on our toes right until the very end. What a season finale. We can’t wait to see where the next season takes them.

Will Trent is in an interrogation room at the GBI, covered in blood, being questioned by Captain Heller about a shooting incident. Will is deeply shaken and replays events leading up to the incident. Will and Faith chase a suspect, Paco, leading to a confrontation where Will fires his weapon. A stray bullet hits a young boy, Marco, through a nearby wall. Will tries to save Marco, but he later dies. The investigation begins with Amanda taking control of managing press and tasks. Odessa Shaw is from the DA’s office that takes point for officer-involved shootings.  She’s known for her sharpness, and leads the investigation into Will's actions. She begins with Faith’s statement. Will struggles to recount events accurately under the guidance of Marion, who acts as his advisor.  Angie and Ormewood investigate the scene, interacting with witnesses like Ruth and Lily, who eventually provide a recording from their special doorbell camera. The recording helps clear Will of wrongdoing. Angie expresses sorrow for Ruth and Lily after learning of Ruth’s son, Oscar, dying from an overdose. His body was misplaced, and delayed the funeral. All his belongings were lost. Angie asked an officer to check the police property section for Oscar’s belongings. She returned them to his family. Ruth and Lily were grateful.  Odessa later informs Will that the bullet ricocheted, making the shooting a tragic accident. Will is cleared of charges but remains devastated by the young boy's death. Will returns home, haunted by Marco's death. He was traumatically affected, to the point where he snapped at and distanced himself from Marion, and even ignored Betty. Angie came over and is the only one who supports him emotionally, while he grapples with his guilt and sorrow.  This story was very sad. It started with Faith’s anger and betrayal by Will. She was scared for her son, and thought Will was her friend. He kept the secret of her son from her. It was terrible to see the death of a child from a freak accident. Will tried desperately to save him, but couldn’t. It was a lot of things that happened which led to his death. Will was crushed and fell apart. Good to see Ormewood and Angie working to solve the case. Got to see Marion in action. She worked hard to help Will get through his review. Angie was the only one who could help Will through this. The format of this episode gave the viewer an upfront look at how an investigation plays out behind the scenes. This was a very good episode. It portrays a gripping, emotional narrative with effective flashbacks and an exploration of investigative processes. It highlights themes of guilt, betrayal, and the devastating consequences of unforeseen accidents.

This week on All American, it’s Homecoming at South Crenshaw High!  As Amina preps to be honored as Ms. South Crenshaw, she reflects on missing her mom’s presence. One can’t help but to wonder if the details of her death will ever come out. It’s bound to be a fall out between her, Preach and even Coop!  Over at Beverly, just as we think Cassius is finally letting go of his one sided grudge against the Bakers, a TV interview sparks further animosity. But for what though? Coach Billy Baker’s legacy remains intact and the imaginary beef is getting out of hand at this point. A later conversation between him and Jordan makes you think the rivalry has the potential to be more friendly after all.  The fake relationship between KJ and Amina is over, but the chemistry is as real as ever. They have a habit of showing up for each other in a way that goes beyond friendship. KJ advises Amina to pay homage to her mom after finding out she was Ms. South Crenshaw back in the day. While at the same time, she encourages him to give Cassius an outlet of new friends hoping to relieve some of that football tension. DTF anyone? You know, Dads That Friend lol.  Now although Quarterback Jordan was a time, Coach Jordan has turned out to be quite the vibe! Watching him transition into his role as a coach at South Crenshaw High has been rewarding for all parties involved. However it’s not all rainbows and sunshine. He faces the complexities of mentorship and leadership, balancing his responsibilities with personal aspirations. Khalil… Khalil… Khalil… one can’t help but to see remnants of a young Spencer James in him. He struggles to be so much more than his environment both on and off the field. Yet, his past gang affiliation follows him everywhere. The homecoming game is forfeited after a halftime brawl involving both teams. However, Khalil takes full responsibility for both teams actions. Heavy is the head that wears the crown right?  Layla continues to find balance in managing her lounge and producing for now songwriter, Elle. She sees potential in her performing again but Elle is nervous of her past social media post shining a bad light on Layla and her label. Layla, ever so motivating, has also become a safe space for Khalil to express himself and one has to say we are loving that budding relationship… the mother figure he unfortunately never got to have.  In an attempt to make up for Homecoming being cancelled to Amina, Khalil organizes a cute date on the football field, where ignored sparks continue to fly, but neither acts on it. How much more of a slow burn do they really need at this point?  The episode concludes with Cassius finally accepting that it’s time to make new friends in Beverly as KJ sends old news clippings of Monique, Amina’s mom to her. Jordan and Coach Bobby finally see eye to eye during an interview where they protest the reputation of their players. While Preach and Coop decide it’s finally time to tell Amina the truth. But wait… Amina, tired of the lies, runs off to Baltimore to spend time with her maternal grandparents. Will the truth set her free or leave her with even more confusion into her mother’s past?    New episodes of All American airs Mondays at 7pm on the CW as well as you can catch the season streaming on the CW app.

Garcelle Beauvais  is ready to cut the cameras. Tuesday morning, she announced via her Instagram account that she is exiting The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after five successful seasons.   Beauvais is originally from Haiti and got her start in the business as a fashion model later transitioning into acting. She is a staple in the Black community and known for her roles on The Jamie Foxx Show , Coming to America and Flight .   In her goodbye video to posted to her Instagram, Beauvais states, “It’s been a wild ride. Some amazing things have happened and some hard things have also happened, but it’s been a ride nevertheless. One of the reasons why I’m leaving is my family, my boys.

Secondly, I have the most exciting projects that I am developing, producing and acting in. I can’t tell you anything right now, but you’ll know soon.”   Beauvais also lets it be known that Andy Cohen (Executive Producer of The Real Housewives franchise) says she is welcome to return at any time, adding to her statement in her video, “Andy Cohen says I can come back anytime. The door will always be open, so you never know. I might pop back in sometime. To the fans, I want to say thank you so much.

It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. So, see you later.”   While we are sad to see Garcelle go we are excited to see what she planned next.

Title:  The Game (ARC) Author:  Leonor Soliz Genre:   Sports Romance Rating: Love! Spice: Flamin Hot Cheeto Synopsis: Six years after the hottest one night stand of their lives, Evie and Logan meet again.  After the new Seattle Strikers owner gives her boss the boot, Evie gets the opportunity she needs to finally get her life straight. If she can get this new project on track, the job is hers. Her project however? Logan King, the man she had a mind blowing night with, six years ago, is now the Strikers new QB and her new project. Now her career and all her hopes for a better tomorrow are riding on the grumpy man who’s as closed off as she is. PR gold mine he is not…yet. Can Evie keep her life together long enough to land this promotion without losing herself to her biggest fears?  Thoughts: The more Leonor Soliz books I read, the happier I am. After reading The Kicker (prequel novella to the Seattle Striker series) last month, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this next book and I was not disappointed.  Leonor gives us a spicy scene right off the bat, only to edge us for the next 100+ pages. And honestly…I’m not even mad at her, cause it was all worth it.  Evie is such a hyper independent woman and her rushed childhood didn’t do her any favors. Her story as the 1st gen child of immigrants is one many know in one form or another. The trauma shows in her interactions early on. Her inability to trust even her two ‘best friends’ shows just how deep that trauma goes. Luckily she finds herself with the support and love she needs and deserves.  Logan’s family background was refreshing. Although there is some tension with the relationship he has with his parents (or lack thereof), I don’t recall having yet read one like this. I was expecting an overbearing father who was abusive in some form, yada yada yada, but was happily surprised by the truth and would have loved to see a scene or two of their dynamics.  The spice was picante in this one (I could always use more though!) and Logan’s sexy demands will clearly earn him a spot on the top book bf list this year. This story has a delightful cast of supporting characters, including some great friends on the Striker team. Leonor has all the ingredients for another wonderful series in Saint, Bear AND quiet Raf. I’m so excited to see where this series goes next!  Quotes:  “Role playing sounds good all of a sudden.” -Logan “I prefer it when you bite back Evie.” -Logan What the fuck kind of witchcraft is this? -Evie “Then take it. Say fuck it, and steal an orgasm from me.”  -Evie **************                     The Game is available March 25th 2025!                                                          @booksteantravel Rating: LOVED= 5 Stars.

Four-time Grammy winning musician Lizzo is making her big acting debut. She has been cast to play Sister Rosetta Tharpe in a future biopic from Amazon and MGM Studios titled “Rosetta” from writers Natalie Chaidez and Kwynn Perry. Lizzo had a supporting role in 2022’s Hustlers  but this project will be her first leading film role. Rosetta Tharpe is known as the godmother of Rock & Roll with other artists using her as inspiration such as Johnny Cash, Little Richard, Elvis and Chuck Berry to name a few. The film will be inspired by the true-life story of Rosetta Tharpe who crossed the racial and social barriers put in front of her to become legend. She also had big ambitions like performing the first stadium show. In fact, the official description reads, “captures a pivot period in her life – one of groundbreaking innovation, defiant passion, and secret love. As she shatters musical boundaries with her signature guitar sound, Rosetta must navigate societal constraints, conceal her love for another woman, and ultimately transform a wedding into one of the most legendary concerts in history – the first stadium show.” Rosetta Tharpe died in 1973, but her music often appears in films and television like Atlanta and A League of Their Own.   While Lizzo is no stranger to the music, stadium shows and being a trailblazer in her own right, this will mark her first major acting role. She recently released new singles off of her upcoming studio album which will be her fifth one, dropping sometime later this year. “Still Bad” and “Love in Real Life” are bops. Lizzo may be trying to grab that EGOT status as she won an Emmy in 2022 for her reality TV show Lizzo’s Watch Out For the Big Grrls” which was another collaboration with Amazon MGM Studios. All eyes will definitely be on this upcoming project.
