Q: Wayne Brady has an amazing voice when he sings on "Let's Make a Deal" and "Whose Line Is It Anyway." Has he ever released an actual album?
The multi-talented Wayne Brady (he's a singer, comedian, actor and host) has released two actual albums, depending on your definition of "actual."
The undisputed one is 2008's "A Long Time Coming," a collection of R&B originals and standards that includes his Grammy-nominated rendition of "A Change is Gonna Come." After that came a children's album in 2011, and then a single in 2019 that was supposed to herald a new album, though it never came.

Q: It seems like none of the stations show the old seasons of "Law & Order" — they only show Season 13 and on. What's going on?
It seems that the rights owners (there are more of them than you'd think) are only selling the reruns in packages, and the only ones for sale right now are for seasons 13 to 20 (the latter being the final season).
It's not just the traditional TV stations that are in this boat; it's also true for those streaming the classic NBC procedural show online. The reason seems to be, basically, that "Law & Order" is a victim of its own success — there's just too much to buy all at once.

Minari
Jacob (Yeun) and Monica Yi (Ye-ri) are first-generation Korean Americans trying to carve a place of their own in a country that often feels like the farthest place from home. Led by little more than his need to build beyond their sparse belongings and back-breaking jobs in California, Jacob pours his family’s savings into a plot of land in rural Arkansas and promises his wife and children, David (Kim) and Anne (Cho), that this farming venture will mark the beginning of their new life. What unfolds is a tale of the immigrant experience, marked by failures that test the loyalty and patience of a marriage and challenge the strength of the kids caught in the middle of it. As the family desperately tries to hold itself together, Monica’s eccentric mother, Soonja (Youn), comes at her request from Korea, her presence reminding the Yis that there is still presence and calm to be prioritized on their road to the American dream.

The Nest
Rory O’Hara (Law) is an investment banker fixated on providing a luxurious life for his family. Often omitting the details of the true nature of their wealth to his wife, Allison (Coon), he has moved his family throughout the United States with vague explanations that she had rarely bothered to question. This time, however, Rory has made the decision to move Allison and their children, Samantha (Roche) and Benjamin (Shotwell), to an old, unkept manor in England; a far cry from the upstate, apparently squeaky-clean life they had known up to that point. As time passes, facades begin to crack and Allison comes to realize a series of twisted truths about her husband.
Director: Sean Durkin. Stars: Jude Law, Carrie Coon, Oona Roche, Charlie Shotwell. 2020. 107 mins. Thriller.
