Eloise Lovell Anderson and (?) in The Highest Stakes (2026)

Scoop, ... 1 comment.

This is an American film shot in Bulgaria, available on Prime Video. It is like a 90-minute episode of The Twilight Zone. Don’t be fooled by the 3.7 at IMDb. That’s based on just 12 votes, and the film is much better than that. It’s not Oscar material, but it has completely competent performances and some slick production values. The mystery plot isn’t that hard to solve if you’re familiar with Rod Serling’s scripts, but the team pulls it off engagingly.

Five strangers are invited to a high-stakes poker game, but as the night unfolds and buried secrets come to light, they discover the game isn’t about winning – it’s about survival.

* In the film’s context, once you know the full plot, the masked performer could be Chloe Fox, but … well … she’s masked, and I don’t know what Chloe looks like naked, so I can’t make the call. Chloe has several other sex scenes in this film, but nothing is visible and she always keeps her bra on, so my best guess is that this is just an anonymous extra. The credits are no help. No body doubles are credited, and the one credited female stunt performer looks nothing like this.

Micro-budget exploitation film from the USA.

3.1 at IMDb

Three super heroines fighting crime and standing up to evil villains. Blue Bird is trying to live up to her father’s legacy, but Komodo will stop at nothing to bring her down. Bat Vixen takes on a pair of villains set on humiliating her. We see the origin story of our superheroine Valor when she goes up against some petty criminals.

I’m glad they are standing up to evil villains. I hate it when the heroes stand up to kindly, benevolent villains.

Padres reliever Mason Miller sets an obscure but impressive record

Scoop, ... 4 comments.

Miller struck out 19 of the first 24 batters he faced. (Video)

This feat may not seem that impressive you until you realize the previous record for “fastest to 19 strikeouts” was 37 batters!! Even more impressive, he doesn’t mess around with throwing balls. He just whips them over the plate and dares any batter to catch up to his heater (topping out above 103 MPH), his 96 MPH change, or his 88 MPH slider. He threw only 20 balls to those 24 batters. He has allowed only two base-runners, and has an ERA of zero.

He has so much stuff that it isn’t even fair. If you watch the video, you’ll see that he throws pitches that break to his right, or to his left, or drop off the table. Miller is considered the fastest pitcher in MLB today. He threw the fastest seven pitches in the 2025 season. His average fastball (101 MPH) is faster than the fastest pitch Nolan Ryan ever threw (100.9). His average change-up (95.5) is approximately as fast as Nolan Ryan’s average fastball.
