All Packers Coach has a job interview.

Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports, NFL, Green Bay Packers Defensive Coordinator Jeff Hathley,

has been invited by the New York Jets to interview for their head coaching position

out of the Packers defense perform under Hathley, Matt Lohsler.

You make the necessary adjustments and you put your guys in position and then ultimately those guys

got to go out there and execute and I thought Hathley did an outstanding job

and such as Hathley's entire defense staff did a really good job with that.

Mike McCarthy interviewed last night with the Chicago Bears, NBA.

The Bucks with a win at home, 122 to 93 over the Orlando Magic,

Yannis with 26 points, Damien Lillard led with 30.

You know, one of the main things was pace.

Just seeing it on film and seeing how much better my rhythm to the game is

and my timing and just my movements are when I get the ball up the floor of pace.

It's good for our team but it's also being good for me.

That's the Bucks Damien Lillard with sports on Mike Clemens.

On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba.

If you're looking for some fun indoor entertainment,

given the frigid temperatures on the way,

here are some movies that might interest you.

There continues to be no shortage of horror films

and if that is your genre of choice,

check out a new take on the age old classic Wolfman,

starring Julia Garner of Ozark fame.

Also opening and wide release is the comedy One of Them Days,

starring Kiki Palmer and musical artist Siza,

which tells the story of two roommates scrambling to pull rent money together.

At the time of this reading, the film is pulling a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes

and Siza's acting chops have impressed critics.

Coleman Domingo's role continues,

the film Singsing will be re-released this weekend.

And if you happen to be incarcerated, you're in luck as well.

The film will be playing in correctional facilities all across America

and that makes sense since Singsing tells the story of teaching rehabilitation

through the arts and is almost a perfect audience and critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Let's go to the movies.

If you're looking for a trip down TV and memory lane

and we're a fan of the show Twin Peaks,

this might peak your interest.

The murder mystery drama set in the Pacific Northwest

will be available on Blu-ray box set.

In addition to all the seasons, there will be 27 hours of behind the scenes

and extra features.

The box set doesn't officially drop until February 3rd,

but you can currently pre-order it on Amazon for a cool 56 bucks.

Actors work odd jobs to pay rent before their big break.

For actor David Schwimmer,

one of the gigs included serving divorce papers

after his freshman year in college, thanks to his lawyer mother.

The friends actor and star of the new show Goosebumps told Stephen Colbert

he once served singer Rod Stewart with divorce papers.

Apparently, a lot of Stewart, Rod's wife at the time, no longer wanted his body

or thought he was sexy.

Goosebumps is available to stream on peacock.

Award show nominations are pouring in this time of year.

Great movies wouldn't be great movies without a really good script.

The writer's guild of America has announced its nominations

for the 77th annual WGA Awards.

Nominations for best screenplay in the feature film category include

Anora, a complete unknown, challengers, wicked and nickel boys.

The British Academy of Film and TV Awards also announced its nominations

for best feature film yesterday, and there was a little bit of crossover.

The BAFTA best feature film nominations also included Anora and a complete unknown,

but not wicked nickel boys or challengers.

In addition to Anora and a complete unknown,

Conclave led the way with 12 nominations,

followed closely by Amelia Perez with 11.

The fifth nominee, the brutalist, drew nine nominations.

So many awards shows to watch so little time.

For more showbiz font, tune in to Nightlight with me,

Peach Wava, weeknights from 6 to 8 p.m. on the Civic Media radio network.

Breezy this morning, less windy this afternoon.

It'll be partly cloudy today with a high of 35.

Tonight down to 19 tomorrow, mostly cloudy and breezy,

37 the high, and then after that hang on,

because it is going to get really cold later this weekend into the first part of next week.

High meteorologist Sean Cable, Temperature Now 30.
