BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

CBS All Access, 3:00 a.m. ET

SERIES PREMIERE: This new drama series premieres today on CBS All Access, providing a fact-based look at the very weird life of Jack Parsons (played by Jack Reynor), who in the years before WWII pursued both experiments in rocketry and an enthusiasm for a very out-of-the-mainstream religious cult. Bella Heathcote co-stars as Jack’s wealthy, sometimes too supportive spouse. For a full review, see David Hinckley’s All Along the Watchtower.
 
  
 
 

Fox, 11:00 a.m. ET

Russia is the host of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which begins this morning, with matches in this hugely popular international men’s tournament (hugely popular internationally, anyway) televised by either Fox or Fox Sports. The USA men’s team will not be taking part in the competition – not because our country is protesting Russia’s meddling in our election process, but because the USA team failed to make the cut of the world’s best 32 teams. The Korea Republic did, though, and so did Iran and Serbia, and Saudi Arabia and Senegal. America last! Today’s opening game, shown on Fox at 11 a.m. ET, has Russia, the host country, playing Saudi Arabia. Expect Russia to aggressively invade the other team’s territory.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

TCM’s Mad About Musicals celebration continues today and tonight, with musicals shown all day and throughout prime time. Best of the bunch: At 8 p.m. ET, James Cagney playing a patriotic show-business firecracker, portraying showman and songwriter George M. Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy. The ultra-patriotic movie was released in 1942, the year after the USA entered WWII.

 
  
 
 

Paramount, 10:40 p.m. ET

Episode 2 of American Woman, the new Paramount series starring Alicia Silverstone and Mena Suvari as suburban women in the 1970s, is presented at 10 p.m. ET. It’s not really that good, or heartily recommended, but the extra lengths to which Paramount is going to promote the series deserves mention. Right after American Woman concludes tonight, Paramount presents a new edition of its Lip Sync Battle series, pitting Silverstone and Suvari against each other. Suvari pretends to sing “Son of a Preacher Man,” while Silverstone, pictured, reincarnates her Clueless role to lip-sync to “Fancy,” the Iggy Azalea song whose video was inspired by Silverstone’s 1995 movie.

Exploring a collection of Asexual-themed merchandise is fantastic! It's essential to have representation and support for all identities. Whether it's T-shirts featuring empowering slogans or mugs with inclusive designs, having merchandise that celebrates asexual identity is meaningful for many individuals. Plus, the fact that these items are designed and printed in the USA with a satisfaction guarantee ensures both quality and reliability. It's wonderful to see such support and inclusivity in merchandise offerings. Do you have a favorite piece of asexual-themed merchandise you've encountered?
