Cartel Says They Handed Over Killers of Jack Carter Rhoad and Jake and Callum Robinson to the Cops
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Getty/GoFundMeTIJUANA, Mexico—You know you’ve screwed up when even Mexico’s notorious drug cartels think you’ve gone too far.That’s what happened to a couple of alleged thieves who are accused of killing a trio of foreign tourists—including an American—who were found dead in Baja California this weekend.U.S. national Jack Carter Rhoad and Australian brothers Callum and Jake Robinson were reported as missing on April 27 after taking a surfing trip near the city of Ensenada. On Monday Baja California state authorities confirmed the lifeless bodies of the three tourists were found at the bottom of a cliff and detailed the cause of death: each had received a shot to the head.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Opinion: Evangelicals See Trump’s Hedonism as Godly ‘Masculinity’
Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Reuters/Getty ImagesFor those looking for salacious content, Stormy Daniels’ testimony at Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial did not disappoint.Daniels testified that Trump answered the hotel door wearing “silk or satin.” She also said Trump told her, “You remind me of my daughter,” and that she spanked him with a magazine—among other prurient recollections.I’ll leave it to legal experts to debate whether this TMI could backfire by evoking sympathy for Trump, or even jeopardizing the trial. Personally, I’m more interested in what the same conservatives who insisted that Bill Clinton’s character flaws made him unfit for the presidency will think about all this.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Trump-Backed Senate Hopeful Has Extensive ‘Deep State’ Ties

‘Last Stop in Yuma County’: The Thrilling Film Noir You Absolutely Shouldn’t Miss
Well Go USAIt often takes mere minutes for a director to demonstrate whether they know what they’re doing, and that’s unquestionably true with regards to The Last Stop in Yuma County. From its tantalizing framing and camerawork to its poised, anxiety-laced pacing, performances, and tone, writer/editor/director Francis Galluppi announces from the outset of his feature debut that he’s in complete, confident command of his material, and that self-assurance never wavers throughout the course of his expert neo-noir, which is in theaters and on VOD May 10. A tense, fatalistic saga of bad luck and worse decisions, it’s a throwback that feels as fresh and alive as its predecessors did decades ago. Not to be missed, it stands as one of the most welcome surprises of this moviegoing year.Never stagey despite confining the majority of its action to a single location, The Last Stop in Yuma County sets up shop at a remote pit stop on a road cutting through the hot, dusty, windswept Arizona desert. At this gas station, an unnamed man (Jim Cummings) pulls up in a little yellow Toyota Corona in need of gas. Unfortunately for him and those who’ll follow in his wake, he learns from proprietor Vernon (Faizon Love) that the pumps are dry, the next filing spot is 100 miles away, and the refueling truck won’t be around until later in the day.

The New ‘Planet of the Apes’ Sequel Is a Disappointing Slip on a Banana Peel
20th Century StudiosEvolution is at the heart of the Planet of the Apes franchise, and yet for its fourth installment in its current reboot phase (and tenth chapter overall), it doesn’t progress so much as stand still. Set generations after 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes, Wes Ball’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (in theaters May 10) gets close to the future that was first envisioned by Franklin J. Schaffner’s 1968 original, with apes now civilized and verbose, and humans mostly reduced to primitive muteness. As such, this sequel is an attempt to move forward by returning to its roots—a have-it-both-ways approach that prevents catastrophe but also neuters most of its novelty. Too often rehashing its myriad predecessors’ ideas, conflicts, and images, it’s a competent if unexceptional blockbuster game of monkey see, monkey do.It’s been centuries since Caesar, the first hyper-intelligent ape, led his simian comrades to an idyllic sanctuary where they could thrive without the murderous interference of mankind. In this present, Noa (Owen Teague) and his friends Soona (Lydia Peckham) and Anaya (Travis Jeffrey) climb peaks to reach eagles’ nests in order to steal eggs as part of a ritual in which primates bond with fowl. Noa’s big day is spoiled the evening prior, however, when his egg is crushed during an encounter with a mysterious human intruder who scampers off into the dark before being caught. Desperate to find another egg, the young chimp ventures out of his village at night by himself, only to run into a group of deadly apes with buzzing zap sticks who find their way back to Noa’s peaceful forest-grove home and burn it to the ground, in the process enslaving its inhabitants and murdering Noa’s bird-taming father.Driven to seek vengeance as well as to rescue his kin, Noa sets out through a tunnel to the forbidden “Valley Beyond,” where he meets orangutang Raka (Peter Macon), who teaches him about Caesar—and his belief that apes should stick together and not kill each other—and chooses to accompany him on his quest. They’re soon joined by an unlikely companion: Nova (Freya Allan), a feral human who’s trailing Noa and whose name is given to her by Raka in an homage to a character from War for the Planet of the Apes.Read more at The Daily Beast.

‘Bodkin,’ Netflix’s ‘Only Murders’ Knockoff, Is Miles Better
Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/NetflixYou, me, and anyone with even a tangential grasp on modern technology may have true-crime podcast fatigue. But for the people of Bodkin, Ireland—the titular, fictional shoreside town in Netflix’s new mystery series Bodkin, premiering May 9—the true-crime podcast wave hasn’t even begun to crest. That’s why, when popular podcast host Gilbert Power (Will Forte), his researcher Emmy (Robyn Cara), and crotchety investigative reporter for The Guardian Dove (Siobhán Cullen) step foot in Bodkin, they’re welcomed with wide-eyed fascination.That is, until the trio starts poking around, looking to cover a decades-old cold case that still haunts the town and its colorful characters. When local threads are pulled, their once-knotted history unspools, revealing dark and absurd secrets. Bodkin takes pleasure in stringing viewers along, winding itself past red herrings and red-haired residents who all have something to hide. While the series sometimes mirrors the pace of Bodkin’s small-town life too literally, drifting aimlessly to fill time, its enthusiastic cast—led by the terrifically cast Forte and Cullen—keep Bodkin stimulating enough to be more than just a knockoff Only Murders in the Building. Instead, it skewers the macabre voyeurism of true-crime podcasting, implicating its viewers just as much as its characters, to surprisingly refreshing results.After three seasons of Only Murders, last year’s Based on a True Story, 2019’s Truth be Told, and a quietly vicious Portlandia sketch, television seems to have reached its limit for shows about making true-crime podcasts. You’d be forgiven for wanting to avoid Bodkin entirely based on its stale premise alone. (You can practically hear the pitch meeting at Netflix now: “Three people investigate a crime to make a podcast—this time, in Ireland!”). But the show, at the very least, anticipates its audience’s exhaustion—something other shows don’t typically contend with.Read more at The Daily Beast.

‘Mother of the Bride’: Every Wedding Should Have a Skinny-Dipping Brooke Shields
NetflixIt’s not easy being a mom—just ask Brooke Shields’s character, Lana, in Netflix’s newest rom-com, Mother of the Bride. One minute, your daughter is holding you close and insisting that she can’t have her wedding without you, and the next, she’s threatening to throw you out of her big day in Thailand because you’ve upset her “corporate parent” by skinny dipping at their resort. Mothers, you’ve all been there before, right? Anyone…?On the surface, Mother of the Bride follows Lana as she tries to process the fact that her daughter, Emma (Miranda Cosgrove), is engaged to a man she never met. To make things even spicier, the groom to be, RJ (Sean Teale) also happens to be the progeny of Lana’s grimiest college ex, Will (as played by certified zaddy Benjamin Bratt)—a not-so-fun fact the entire group finds out together when they arrive in Thailand for the destination wedding. Sadly, none of this is really the meat of the story.It turns out, Emma’s most complicated relationship is not with her brilliant perfectionist of a mother, or with her charming but possibly performative fiancé, but with her own deep desire to become… *checks notes* a brand ambassador? Oh, boy.Read more at The Daily Beast.
