Pete Davidson returned to Saturday Night Live, this time to play Donald Trump’s border czar as he tries, without much success, to teach restraint to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents after the chaos in Minneapolis.

This is a story of a man made of wicker. And the disruption he inadvertently causes when he turns out to be the most charming gentleman in the village. Every year the iconic Sundance Film Festival there's a couple of extremely bizarre, especially peculiar, innovative cinematic creations that are almost too weird to work. Last year there was a very not-so-good, extremely weird film about cabbage (and it being banned) called Bubble & Squeak .

This always marks the end of the fest, with a few days of screenings left. The festival wraps this week with at-home viewings in addition to all the in-person events.

The Audience Awards went to Josephine again + (the doc) American Pachuco: The Legend of Luis Valdez . I have to say - these Sundance winners are finally right on point this year. All the best films have been given some prize, especially the stand outs like Josephine and Everybody To Kenmure Street and To Hold a Mountain and many others. As always, if any of these films ...
