Hello everyone. Welcome to Slash Film Weekly. It's Wednesday, February 28th, 2026. On today's episode of the show, we're going to be talking about the latest film and TV news. We'll have a discussion about Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights. We'll talk about the new heist movie Crime 101, and we'll also talk about good luck, have fun, don't die, and play an interview with director Gore Verbensky. My name is Ben Pearson.

Tommy Lee Jones, Danny Glover, and Diane Lane called Lonesome Dove, which is an adaptation

of the Larry McMurtry novel.

Really great stuff there.

I love that series, so I'm guessing a lot of people

listening to this have not seen it. And I would highly recommend it. It's very much worth your time.

And it has a great, great, great Robert Tupall performance in it. So rest in peace to a legend there.

There's no real great way to transition out of that. So let's go to maybe the silliest news story that came out over the past several days,
