The Big Ten’s “Maps” commercial is an institution. Since its debut in 2014, this meticulously crafted, masterfully animated, and impeccably soundtracked spot has graced millions of screens thousands of times. Experiencing it has become as much a part of Big Ten sports as singing our fight songs or watching all of our teams lose in the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. If Big Ten country had a national anthem, it would be “Silver Lining” by Guards.

I had intended to write a serious piece on a downbeat movie from my youth, and then I saw that this week marks 37 years since the release of Cobra, Sylvester Stallone’s tour de force about a cop who single-handedly takes down a murder cult.

The Assistant is streaming on Max and Hulu. Grade: B (Fine acting, Slow moving, Methodical Attention to Detail, Shines a light on an understated profession, Gender and power dynamic themes) When Ozark alum Julia Garner (Jane) walks into a scene in The Assistant, you submit fully to her character, watching her every move and wondering when the tension will reach its breaking point. She’s arresting. At first glance, she’s demure and has an air of someone hyper vigilant and much older than her years.
