Daniel Winters: The script was transforming every day because no one knew what movie they wanted it to be. Malice: And when you look at the outcome, it gets no realer than that for me. Winters: It’s the greatest work of God or Man in 2 billion years. Malice: That’s what’s up, man, that’s what’s up. Winters: The dead silence at the premiere still haunts me. ••• Malice: It was a shock. It was always a threat that you lived with.

It took about 10 minutes to consider, and then I told my son Nicky that the only “nostalgia” rock/pop concert I’d attend—if it were in Baltimore—was a show by Steve (but always “Stevie”) Winwood. Now 77, Winwood was an early favorite, with the Spencer Davis Group, two iterations of Traffic, the lone bright star in the short-lived Blind Faith (Winwood’s vocal on a live cover of “Under My Thumb” is a can’t miss), and then a successful solo career that I didn’t follow too closely.

Look for the fewest people... The best Major League Baseball games are often the ones the fewest people attend. As a Boston Red Sox fan, I have mixed feelings about Fenway Park.

But there’s one time when visiting Fenway feels almost perfect: day makeup games. I’ve been to four of them, and each one stood out.

Mountainhead isn't particularly transcendent, but at least it addresses our times. Jesse Armstrong, the British showrunner of Succession who also worked on The Thick of It and In the Loop, has made his directorial debut with Mountainhead. It’s a straight-to-HBO movie about a quartet of tech CEOs, holding court at a mountain retreat while the world burns below, mostly thanks to their products.
