Steve Cargile and Anna Leigh Wilson got off to an inauspicious start on “The Amazing Racer 35’s” penultimate leg in Dublin. The father and daughter were last heading into the first task — swimming in the Irish Sea — and Steve struggled in the freezing water, but they managed to get to the “Riverdance” Roadblock in third and leave in third. And they might have made the final three had they not turned back to the parking garage where they had parked for the “Riverdance” Roadblock, which was not shown in the episode and resulted in them losing 20 to 25 minutes.
“Had we not had to go back — because we actually exited on the wrong floor — I think we could’ve been in the top three,” Anna Leigh tells Gold Derby (watch above). “I’ll regret that. I’ll have Ptsd for the rest of my life.”
“It’s always hindsight,” Steve adds.

“Lord of the Dance” star Michael Flatley is set to be the subject of a new in-depth feature documentary titled “The Billion Dollar Dancer.”
Following Flatley’s life and career from his humble beginnings as the son of Irish immigrants in Chicago to becoming one of the world’s most famous dancers, it will cover everything from bullying to boxing — plus his love of fast cars and his battle with cancer — through archive footage and interviews with the dancing sensation himself.
The doc, which is set to be directed by Ryan Suffern (“Jazz Fest: A New Orleans Story”), will also follow Flatley in the present as he launches a new show and oversees the 25th anniversary of “Lord of the Dance,” the Irish dancing spectacle that brought him to global attention.

Since the writers strike began, I’ve seen an uptick in repostings of the season 3 Barry scene in which a streaming service executive (Elizabeth Perkins) attempts to explain to Sarah Goldberg’s Sally why her newly released show is being canceled. The sequence, which places the blame on a nefarious algorithm, hits home as more than just an accurately observed piece of absurdity because of how good Goldberg is at playing both the ridiculousness and the plausibility of the moment.
I get happy whenever the scene gets passed around because although Barry is far from underrated or insufficiently acclaimed, if any element of the brooding Hollywood hitman comedy has failed to receive its proper due, it’s Goldberg. Sure, she has a single Emmy nomination, but that doesn’t feel like enough for a performance that has often anchored the entire series. That’s very much been the case in...

In various rakishly-angled hats, the Riverdance star wrote, directed and stars in a jet-setting Bond knock-off that plays out like the unsexy bits of a mid-80s porn film
Since this increasingly legendary film starring Michael Flatley was briefly aired at London’s Raindance film festival in 2018 – a screening from which the media were barred – reports of it have been scattered, disjointed, unreliable. Like witnesses to a 10-bus pile-up on top of children coming out of a nursery school, those who saw it were traumatised and gibbering. The trailer which finally dropped online earlier this year was very disturbing, as it confirmed that the film really does exist.
Riverdance hoofer Flatley really has produced, written, directed and starred in his own film in which he plays Victor Blackley, a supercool secret agent codenamed “Blackbird”, leader of an undercover special forces unit called “the Chieftains”, like the folk band. Very often,...

“The Batman” star Andy Serkis is set to direct an animated adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novel “Animal Farm.”
Serkis is directing the feature at animation and VFX studio Cinesite (“Riverdance: The Animated Adventure”) from a screenplay by Nick Stoller.
“The challenging journey to bring this extraordinary story to the screen has been finally rewarded by the opportunity to partner with the brilliant team at Aniventure and Cinesite,” Serkis said. “Together we hope to make our version of Orwell’s ever relevant masterpiece, emotionally powerful, humorous, and relatable for all ages. A tale not only for our times, but for generations to come.”
Connie Thompson will produce alongside Adam Nagle, Dave Rosenbaum and Imaginarium’s Jonathan Cavendish and Serkis.

Andy Serkis (Venom: Let There Be Carnage) is directing an animated adaptation of George Orwell’s classic novella Animal Farm for Aniventure and his company The Imaginarium. Production is underway at Cinesite, which is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary as a world leader in animation and VFX.
The dystopian fable published in 1945 watches as a group of farm animals rebel against their human owner, in hopes of creating a society where they can be equal, free and happy. It was named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels between 1923 to 2005, and won Orwell a Restrospective Hugo Award. It’s previously been adapted for radio and the stage, with John Halas and Joy Batchelor mounting a film adaptation in 1954, and John Stephenson adapting it into a TNT TV movie in 1999.

President Joe Biden trekked to Capitol Hill for the annual Friends of Ireland luncheon, where guests in the Rayburn Room were treated to jumbo crab salad, noisettes of lamb with lemony grilled vegetables and shamrock-shaped cookies, along with a performance from Riverdance.
There also was a poem — this one from Bono. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that U2’s lead singer sent it to her on Thursday morning. “Bono has been a very Irish part of our lives,” Pelosi said.
She read Bono’s work, which compared Saint Patrick to Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky.
The poem read: Oh Saint Patrick he drove out the snakes; With his prayers but that’s not all it takes; For the snake symbolizes; An evil that rises; And hides in your heart; As it breaks; And the evil has risen my friends; From the darkness that lives in some men; But in sorrow and...

If you want to make a white man over the age of 60 mad, tell him he shouldn’t go to an Allman Brothers concert. While perhaps I should have assumed this, I didn’t know it for sure until my dad called to ask me if I wanted to go to with him to a show at the Beacon Theatre.
