Ray'Sean Taylor, Ring Malith lead SIU Edwardsville over Ball State 82-69Welcome to Streaming Rewind, a weekly breakdown of the new and noteworthy as we work to help readers wade through the absolute deluge of television series and movies in the streaming space. Who’s ready for the holidays? I’m not. How is Christmas just two weeks away? Anyway, there’s plenty to watch this week, ranging from fun and festive to a preview of the religious debate some can be prepared for when they head home for the holidays (though, hopefully you have a better time than the missionaries in Heretic). Here’s what to watch this weekend in between frantically trying to finish your Christmas shopping. Red One (Prime Video) Red One may have been met with mixed (bad) reviews during its theatrical run, but what if I told you it was fun, actually? It’s most certainly not remarkable filmmaking, and The Rock and Chris Evans somehow have no chemistry on screen but oodles of it on red carpets, but it’s a Christmas movie! It’s cute and silly and warm and exactly as formulaic as we’ve all come to expect our Christmas movies to be. It’s also surprisingly lore-heavy, featuring both Krampus and Gryla the Christmas witch, which I found quite lovely. Secret Level (Prime Video) Prime Video’s big video game anthology series dropped this week, with episodes spanning consoles and titles. The length of the episodes holds it back a bit — 15 minutes is rarely long enough to tell a meaningful story — but if you love one of the titles featured in the first batch of episodes (Dungeons & Dragons, Sifu, Warhammer and more) then a glorified cut-scene may be enough to tickle your fancy. Heretic (Digital) Heretic has been a divisive one, which is typically a good signifier that a film is actually interesting. The film follows two Mormon Missionaries as they work to convert people to their flock but, unfortunately, they knock on the wrong door on their journey. While this one didn’t work for me personally , Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East all deliver stellar performances. The film goes well beyond the idea of a religious debate — something that many folks were worried about pre-release — but, for my money, it’s actually a stronger film while Grant and Thatcher are going toe to toe over theology and belief systems. Great British Bake Off: Holiday Edition (Netflix) It feels safe to assume that we’re all looking for something nice to watch this time of year, and GBBO always scratches that itch. They’re back in quick succession after the wrap of the recent season with another holiday edition of the series. Mark, Maxy, Maggie, Jürgen, George, Sophie, Dan, Amelia, Linda and Carole all return for the festive fun. Where to Watch Every Friday the 13th Movie Because obviously, right? Note: this is accurate at the time of publish, as streamers hot-potato titles every 30 seconds. (I know this is a streaming and digital column, but I also recommend you just buy the box set for any of these long-running horror titles, because licensing gets screwy through the decades.)

NATO fighter jets scrambled after Russia unleashes missile-firing terror on UkraineAJ Brown has earned close to 1500 yards in the last two seasons but has caught only one touchdown pass since October 21. Heading into the year, AJ Brown was an apparent shoe-in to be a top receiver. Instead, the Eagles are technically ascending but the wide receiver has been descending. Some have connected Brown’s struggles to the arrival of Saquon Barkley, who has been the recipient of ubiquitous praise from analysts. However, regardless of the reason, teammate Brandon Graham took sides against Brown on how he is dealing with it, according to a clip of the “Brandon Graham Show”. “I don’t know the whole story, but I know that 1 (Jalen Hurts) is trying and 11 (Brown) could be a little better with how he responds to things. They was friends before this. But things have changed, and I understand that because life happens.” Graham has since apologized, but it didn’t save him from the condemnation expressed by former Eagles star LeSean McCoy. LeSean McCoy responds Speaking on a December 10 edition of “The Facility,” former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy called on Brandon Graham to mind his own business. “BG my brother, though. Mind your business. The first thing he said was, ‘I don’t know. “Everything was going on, but here’s –‘ How you know?” Per Pro Football Reference, Graham hasn’t played in a game since November 24. He’s expected to miss the rest of the season due to a tricep tear in a season below his typical standard of production. 2024 goes down as his third sub-four-sack season since the end of 2020. AJ Brown’s production Unless something turns around quickly, the wide receiver is in for his worst season since 2021. As Week 14 arrives, Brown has 836 yards and four touchdowns. Last season, he earned 1456 yards and seven touchdowns. Meaning, Brown is closer to half of his 2023 totals than matching or improving on them. Of course, he still has a shot at earning 1000 yards this season in what would be the third-straight 1000 yard season in a row. He also has a shot to pull off a huge performance in a playoff game, all but erasing much of the memory of his struggle in the regular season. That said, falling short of 1456 yards would make 2024 the second straight season of a decline in production. This may set a worrying pattern for Brown going into 2025.

Man Utd ratings vs Plzen as Hojlund and Amad spare Onana's blushes are horror show ANDRE ONANA had his blushes spared by Rasmus Hojlund as Manchester United fought back to win against Viktoria Plzen. Here’s how SunSport's Henry Tomlinson rated the Red Devils stars... Andre Onana - 4 It was a very shaky start to the game in which Onana hurt Casemiro and failed to deal with the host's crosses convincingly. He made a massive error that led to Plzen taking the lead with his poor pass, leaving his defenders with no chance of bailing him out. Diogo Dalot – 6 Dalot made some decent runs forward to join in with the attacks. Defensively was fairly solid and was not often caught out. Noussair Mazraoui - 6 Playing a bit more central, Mazraoui used his pace well to help out at the back. Matthijs de Ligt - 6 He was sold short by Onana's pass that led to the opener but otherwise was fine during the 90 minutes. Lisandro Martinez - 6 Made himself available when Man United got forward but struggled with the physicality of the Plzen attackers. Tyrell Malacia - 6 He offered very little going forward in the wing-back role as he struggled to combine with Marcus Rashford. Casemiro - 6 He moved the ball forward when he could and recovered from an early blow from Onana. Bruno Fernandes - 7 He was lucky to have escaped an early yellow card. Stung the goalkeeper's gloves in the first half with a good effort. His quick thinking set up Rasmus Hojlund to fire in a late winner. Amad Diallo - 8 Diallo was a rare bright spark in Man United's attack against Plzen. It was his run that led to the equaliser, and he used his pace and skill to get past his defender. Marcus Rashford - 4 Rashford was often loose on the ball and surrendered possession in the attacking third. He received the first booking of the game for a needless foul and was lucky not to be sent off in the second half before being hooked by Ruben Amorim. Joshua Zirkzee - 6 Took on the centre-forward role well, held the ball up and linked up play well enough. Subs Rasmus Hojlund 55' – 8 Hojlund showed his striker instincts by being in the right position to grab Man United's equaliser. He then latched onto Fernandes' clever pass to score the winner. Antony 60' - 6 He was involved in the equaliser by linking up with Diallo. Mason Mount 60' - 7 Made a positive impact after coming on and was unlucky not to score as he was denied twice by the goalkeeper after coming into the action. Alejandro Garnacho 80' - N/A Failed to make a positive impact on his short spell on the pitch. Manuel Ugarte 80' - N/A He slotted into the midfield as he replaced Casemiro late on.

Thousands of Syrians celebrate in central Damascus during first Friday prayers since Assad's fall DAMASCUS (AP) — Thousands of Syrians have celebrated in Umayyad Square, the largest in Damascus, after the first Muslim Friday prayers following the ouster of President Bashar Assad. The leader of the insurgency that toppled Assad, Ahmad al-Sharaa, appeared in a video message in which he congratulated “the great Syrian people for the victory of the blessed revolution.” Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in the Turkish capital of Ankara that there was “broad agreement” between Turkey and the United States on what they would like to see in Syria. The top U.S. diplomat also called for an “inclusive and non-sectarian" interim government. American released from Syrian prison is flown out of the country, a US official says WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military has transported an American who was imprisoned in Syria for seven months out of the country. That's according to a U.S. official, who says Travis Timmerman was flown out on a U.S. military helicopter. Timmerman, 29, told The Associated Press he had gone to Syria on a Christian pilgrimage and was not ill-treated while in Palestine Branch, a notorious detention facility operated by Syrian intelligence. He said he was freed by “the liberators who came into the prison and knocked the door down (of his cell) with a hammer.” Nancy Pelosi hospitalized after she 'sustained an injury' from fall on official trip to Luxembourg WASHINGTON (AP) — Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized after she “sustained an injury” during an official engagement in Luxembourg, according to a spokesman. Pelosi is 84. She was in Europe to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Her spokesman, Ian Krager, did not describe the nature of her injury or give any additional details, but a person familiar with the incident said that Pelosi tripped and fell while at an event with the other members of Congress. The person requested anonymity to discuss the fall because they were not authorized to speak about it publicly. Some in seafood industry see Trump as fishermen's friend, but tariffs could make for pricier fish PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump is likely to bring big changes to seafood, one of the oldest sectors of the U.S. economy. Some in the industry believe the returning president will be more responsive to its needs. Economic analysts paint a more complicated picture, as they fear Trump’s pending trade hostilities with major trading partners Canada and China could make an already pricy kind of protein more expensive. Conservationists also fear Trump’s emphasis on deregulation could jeopardize fish stocks already in peril. But many in the commercial fishing and seafood processing industries said they expect Trump to allow fishing in protected areas and crack down on offshore wind expansion. Russia targets Ukrainian infrastructure with a massive attack by cruise missiles and drones KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia has launched a massive aerial attack against Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia fired 93 cruise and ballistic missiles and almost 200 drones in Friday's bombardments. He says it is one of the heaviest bombardments of the country’s energy sector since Russia’s full-scale invasion almost three years ago. He says Ukrainian defenses shot down 81 missiles, including 11 cruise missiles that were intercepted by F-16 warplanes provided by Western allies earlier this year. Zelenskyy renewed his plea for international unity against Russian President Vladimir Putin. But uncertainty surrounds how the war might unfold next year. President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end the war and has thrown into doubt whether vital U.S. military support for Kyiv will continue. Veteran Daniel Penny, acquitted in NYC subway chokehold, will join Trump's suite at football game FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A military veteran who choked an agitated New York subway rider and was acquitted of homicide this week has been invited by Vice President-elect JD Vance to join Donald Trump’s suite at the Army-Navy football game on Saturday. Daniel Penny was cleared of criminally negligent homicide in Jordan Neely’s 2023 death. A more serious manslaughter charge was dismissed last week. Vance served in the Marine Corps and had commented on the acquittal earlier this week. He said that “justice was done in this case” and Penny should never have been prosecuted. New Jersey governor wants more federal resources for probe into drone sightings TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has asked the Biden administration to put more resources into the ongoing investigation of mysterious drone sightings being reported in the state and other parts of the region. Murphy, a Democrat, made the request in a letter Thursday, noting that state and local law enforcement remain “hamstrung” by existing laws and policies in their efforts to successfully counteract any nefarious drone activity. Murphy and other officials say there is no evidence that the drones pose a national security or a public safety threat. A state lawmaker says up to 180 aircraft have been reported to authorities since Nov. 18. About 3 in 10 are highly confident in Trump on Cabinet, spending or military oversight: AP-NORC poll WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans may have elected Donald Trump to a second term in November, but that doesn’t mean they have high confidence in his ability to choose well-qualified people for his Cabinet or effectively manage government spending, the military and the White House. That's according to a new poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. About half of U.S. adults are “not at all confident” in Trump’s ability to appoint well-qualified people for high-level government positions. Only about 3 in 10 are “extremely” or “very” confident that Trump will pick qualified people to serve in his administration. President Macron names centrist ally Bayrou as France's next prime minister PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron has named centrist ally François Bayrou as prime minister, after a historic parliamentary vote ousted the previous government last week. The 73-year-old is a crucial partner in Macron’s centrist alliance and has been a well-known figure in French politics for decades. His political experience is seen as key in efforts to restore stability as no single party holds a majority in the National Assembly. Bayrou was recently cleared in a case relating to embezzlement of European Parliament funds. His predecessor resigned last week following a no-confidence vote prompted by budget disputes in the parliament, leaving France without a functioning government. Macron vowed last week to remain in office until his term ends in 2027. Yankees to get closer Devin Williams from Brewers for Nestor Cortes, Caleb Durbin, AP source says NEW YORK (AP) — A person familiar with the trade tells The Associated Press that the New York Yankees have agreed to acquire All-Star closer Devin Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers for left-hander Nestor Cortes, infield prospect Caleb Durbin and cash. A 30-year-old right-hander, Williams is eligible for free agency after the 2025 season.
