The Draft is here. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports in Green Bay, where the NFL Draft gets underway tonight. Thousands of fans from all around arriving, network broadcasts, Packers GM Brian Goodakinst on the Rich Eisen show says with a 23rd pick overall tonight, expect the unexpected.
It's one of those things I think, and it's so unpredictable, but I do think it's a good draft class, and I think certainly where we're picking, I think there's going to be a really good player that's going to help our football team.
And then we're really focused on making sure we've got a good young team. We're really excited about it, and we're really excited to add, you know, not only a really good player, but a culture guy as well.
Baseball, the Brewers losing last night to the Giants 4-2, concerned for catcher William Contreras, who was injured sliding into third base in the 6th inning.
We'll check them out. We'll see what it is. Yeah, I had like an issue with his side. We're hoping it's nothing more serious than it just in a locked up on him a little bit, so we hope it's nothing more serious.
That's Brewers Manager Pat Murphy with Sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba. There's lots of Star Wars news lately. Here is the latest and or it makes its return for season two.
The show returns almost two years after the finale of season one, Diego Luna plays Cassian and or just like he did in Rogue One.
The show is crushing on Rotten Tomatoes at 98%. Season two will have 12 episodes. The first three episodes dropped Tuesday, April 22nd.
Disney Plus will release three episodes every week on Tuesdays, totaling a four week run. Disney Plus says this will be the final season of the popular show.
In more season two news, Nathan Felder is back for season two of the rehearsal. The hilariously awkward creator of the show is also the leading man as he tries to help people get better at living their own lives by rehearsing them.
Things usually go very wrong and therein lies the hilarity. Season two will have six episodes just like the first season. The HBO show drops every Sunday night following the righteous gemstones.
Happy weird Sunday night on max, everyone. If you were a fan of Malcolm in the middle, you'll want to hear this. The 25th anniversary reboot of the show is currently in production in Vancouver.
Deadline reports that the Fox show which first dropped in 2000 will air four new episodes on Disney Plus. Brian Cranston, Jane Cazmeric and Frankie Munoz will all revise their roles. The original Malcolm produced 151 episodes over seven seasons.
Speaking of Frankie Munoz, if you're wondering what the 39-year-old actor has been up to, the answer is racing. Munoz launched a career as a full-time NASCAR driver just recently.
He was not happy with his finish and a recent race on April 18th where his power steering line burst and he injured his hand while compensating.
Munoz was also involved in an accident during a race in Bristol, Tennessee in early April. Sounds like I could beat him with my Honda.
The actor says if he had to choose between acting or racing, he would choose racing. If things keep going the way they're going, they will be looking for a new middle child on Malcolm.
Netflix continues to be a trend setter at least when it comes to cracking down and not even letting family members use your account.
Netflix for the most part successfully shut down on password sharing and now Warner Bros. Discovery is doing the same thing.
The trend is moving toward extra member add-on fees. Variety reports that if you have Macs, you can add a member for $7.99 a month, more than the cost of a peacock account if you're scoring at home, but well shy of the $16.99 a month regular rate or the $2.99 premium rate.
John Cena is pushing back against Mean Girl professional wrestling fans. The wrestler told Pat McAfee he broke down and got hair transplant surgery because of bullying over his bald spot from fans.
It's hard to tell if Cena, who just won his 17th championship at WrestleMania, is being serious or just continuing to play the role of the bad guy.
Personally, I can't believe a wrestler would resort to getting a hair transplant. I mean, what's next? Stay right?
