For LA Times (De Los), I talked to Diego Luna about his love of fútbol (or soccer), the contradictions of the upcoming FIFA World Cup, and his new film MEXICO 86, on Netflix today. “Fútbol has always been a part of my life, and I played it right up until recently.” Link below 🇲🇽
First trailer for ‘I AM FRANKELDA’, the first-ever stop-motion film made in Mexico.
The film follows a writer who is taken to another realm to help write nightmares to keep monsters alive.
Releasing June 12 on Netflix.
My feature piece on WHAT’S THE STORY, WISHBONE? is in print today in the LA Times. It’s a new documentary on the making of the beloved show about an imaginative and adorable dog who inspired a generation to engage with classic literature. Link below.
This is the final CBS News Radio broadcast, aired between 11 p.m. (the top of the hour is first) and 11:30 p.m. (the final special report).
After 99 years on the air, CBS Radio News has ended.

If (like me) you’re a dog lover or (like me) a JAMES STEWART fan - I’m sure you’ll be moved by Jimmy’s poem about his much loved dog ‘Beau’, which he read out on The Tonight Show in 1981 to a visibly moved Johnny Carson.
JIMMY was born 118yrs ago today.
It was a unique pleasure to interview the incomparable Nicolas Cage for LA Times about his first TV show SPIDER-NOIR.
We talked about his love for film noir and Humphrey Bogart. Also in the piece, the wonderful Lamorne Morris shouts out journalists as heroes. Link below.
