Anne McCarthy “Saturday Night Live Weekend Update” hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che minced no words on Saturday night while commenting on Ye (aka Kanye West) and Diddy’s respective recent headlines. Referring to a recently filed lawsuit by former Ye employee Trevor Phillips — who accused the musician of anti-Black racism, homophobic and antisemitic outbursts in a lawsuit filed on Tuesday — Che noted, “In a lawsuit against Ye, a former employee claims that Ye compared himself to Hitler, minus the gas chambers.” Che then quipped, “I, for one, am shocked to hear that Ye believes in the Holocaust.” (Ye has served as musical guest on “Saturday Night Live,” and once launched into a pro-Trump rant off-air while wearing a MAGA hat.) Moving on to another embroiled hip-hop star, Colin Jost noted an embarassing moment in a “Live with Kelly & Mark” repeat that aired this past week referencing Diddy — taped long before the current investigation over the mogul’s alleged wrongdoings.
‘Tack’ Takes Intimate and Powerful Journey Into Charges of Sexual Abuse That Sparked Greece’s #MeToo Movement
18.03.2024 - 10:05 / variety.com
Christopher Vourlias When two-time Olympic sailing champion Sofia Bekatorou revealed in 2020 that she had been raped by a senior member of the Greek sailing federation while competing for the national team, she inspired dozens of other women to break their silence, sparking the country’s #MeToo movement. In her feature-length directorial debut, “Tack,” which premiered this week at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival, Greek-British filmmaker Vania Turner follows one such story: the shocking case of a younger sailor, Amalia Provelengiou, who alleged she’d been repeatedly abused and raped by her coach — beginning when she was only 12 years old.
Those revelations and the ensuing trial are the focus of Turner’s urgent and moving documentary, which chronicles the systemic abuses committed by men in positions of power in Greece and the broader societal culture of denial that allows those abuses to continue. The film follows both Provelengiou’s search for justice and Bekatorou’s efforts to push for changes to the Greek penal code, whose statute of limitations prevents her from bringing charges against her own alleged rapist.
The director, a veteran video journalist who does her own camerawork in the film, was granted intimate access with the duo from the beginning. She first contacted Bekatorou shortly after the former Olympian had gone public with her allegations of abuse and was there when Provelengiou decided to come forward and take her own harrowing experience to trial.
Once that case began — the first of its kind in Greece’s #MeToo era — Turner admits that she had no idea what to expect. “These proceedings can go on for years,” she says.

‘Civil War’ Review: Alex Garland’s Journey Through War’s Desolation Loses Its Way – SXSW
Alex Garland‘s latest film, Civil War, from A24 and featuring a star-studded cast including Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jesse Plemons, and Nick Offerman, aims to hold a mirror up to a society spiraling out amongst civil war. In a time when flipping through the news or scrolling through social media can feel like peering into dystopia, Garland wants to crystallize these anxieties into a narrative form, offering a prophetic vision of America’s future.
