In the 890th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway, Mike Holtz, and Kyna England talk about admitted poker cheat Ali Imsirovic being DQ'ed mid-tournament from an event in Florida. Was it the right thing to do? It was a highly debated development, and the crew dove headfirst into the drama by discussing a poker black list, what bestbet Jacksonville could've done differently, and if poker pariahs could even be welcomed back to the game. They then give an update on Tom Dwan, whose recent social media posts really concerned the poker community, and then Connor Richards headed to PokerGO Studio to chat with the controversial Haliey “Hawk Tuah Girl” Welch and others at the Celebrity Poker Tour (CPT) Game Night VI. From there, it's highlights from the Hustler Casino Live (HCL) Million Dollar Game III, such as old-school player Erick Lindgren satelliting his way in, Texas Mike's wild ride, and an interview with Steve! Oh, and we'd be remiss if we didn't talk about that epic hand between Alan Keating and Peter. Mike then talks about making a final table at the Venetian and playing with Batman at a recent Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) event, Brad Gafford and John Juanda both won tournaments, and poker media veteran Paul Oresteen talks about his new Substack, which you can subscribe to here.

This week on The First Run, Chris and Matt continue their 2020 catch up with a discussion of Emerald Fennell's ‘Promising Young Woman', featuring Carey Mulligan and Bo Burnham. One of Chris' most anticipated films of last year, Is Promising Young Woman a thin, overly preachy melodrama? Or an artistic work that demands potentially uncomfortable conversations. Then it's on to Chadwick Boseman and Viola Davis in George Wolfe's ‘Ma Rainey's Black Bottom'. The adaptation of August Wilson's play features Boseman's final performance and tackles themes that transcend it's 1927 time period. A gorgeous film, but does it translate well to the big screen? There's the truly wonderous review of the big releases on physical media, featuring the Straight to DVD and Streaming Picks of the Week. Matt and Chris then wrap up the show with their 5 Favorite Play Adaptations. 00:00-14:12: Intro/Promising Young Woman14:13-23:14: Physical Media Picks23:15-30:25: Ma Rainey's Black Bottom30:26-46:41: Top 5 Favorite Play To Film Adaptations46:42-48:06: Wrap UpTheme music by Jamal Malachi Ford-BeyTwitterInstagramFacebookJordan Crucchiola's PYW Twitter Review ThreadMarybeth McAndrews Roger Ebert Review

Once upon a time, a girl learned to sing before she could talk. Her name was Celia. She began singing to her siblings and cousins at bedtime, but a voice like that needed to be shared. Everywhere she went, she sang. She sang when she was in pain and she sang when she felt incredible joy—shouting an exuberant “¡Azúcar!” to her adoring fans. In glittering gowns and extravagant, ruffled ensembles, Celia filled the airwaves with her unique sound. Her talent earned her the name “The Queen of Salsa” as she spread Cuban music throughout the world.About the Narrator:A talented and versatile actress, Justina Machado continues to endear audiences and earn critical acclaim with each new role.Machado can currently be seen starring as the lead in Netflix’s highly-reviewed reimagining of Norman Lear’s ONE DAY AT A TIME opposite Rita Moreno.

The Making of Jelly's Last Jam: In November 1992, SDC Foundation hosted a conversation with the creative team behind Jelly's Last Jam on Broadway: George C. Wolfe (book and direction), Hope Clarke (choreography), Susan Birkenhead (lyrics), Luther Henderson (music arrangement and additional music), Robin Wagman (set design) and Jules Fischer (lighting design) to discuss their creative process. They discuss the journey from workshops and a production at the Mark Taper Forum to the addition of Wagman, Fischer and Gregory Hines on its way to Broadway, and how each of the design elements and the addition of tap choreography helped to shape the show and discover the heart of the piece. George Wolfe and Luther Henderson talk about working with Jelly Roll Morton's music and manipulating it in order to create a piece that was about Jelly's personality and story as much as it was about what he created. Listen to this conversation for a fascinating discussion of the nature of collaboration at the heart of this production, and a sneak peek into the creation of an original Broadway show.
