He courted the role of Abbie Hoffman for decades – that’s commitment.

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes could have played that lawyer, well. Even though the actor they have is brilliant in his own right.

Cant believe this movie could have had Heath Ledger and Phillip Seymour Hoffman added to the cast. That would’ve taken this film to an astronomical level. However, it was all perfect, and I loved everyone in this movie.

Sacha is too creative of an actor for Aaron to write for.
Aaron is too great of a writer for Sacha to improv for.
Together, it was one of the best roles I’ve seen in a long time.

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
