The S.H.I.E.L.D. team is fighting the clock in more ways than one – not only traveling through time, but, as a TV show, heading towards the end of its final season, and what it hopes will be a satisfying climax. Did the producers manage to film the entire season’s output before the pandemic hit, and stopped production? I don’t know. But I do know that Elizabeth Henstridge, who co-stars as Jenna Simmons, directs tonight’s new episode. And it’s a time-loop episode, with a sci-fi slant on the old Groundhog Day theme – already played with this month, to fine effect, on Hulu’s Palm Springs.

Howard Alk directed this concert-footage-heavy documentary biography of Janis Joplin, who died in 1970 at age 27. It’s got so much footage of her at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 that there’s even more to enjoy here, Janis-related, than in the Monterey Pop movie. And there’s so much more, including the early footage and photography of her in Texas.

This 1964 movie version of the classic musical stars Audrey Hepburn as cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle, and Rex Harrison as Prof. Henry Higgins, who sets out to transform her into a proper British society lady. It’s a movie that’s fun to watch, and isn’t televised that often – but by George, I think TCM has got it!
