Three people stuck in one place for 36 hours: What could go wrong? + Listen to From Cairo Podcast + Understanding and utilizing data is key to future success

???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-

(all times CLT)

Three people given no names stuck in one place for 36 hours — what could go wrong? Windfall, a thriller on Netflix, tells the story of an average Joe (Nobody) who breaks into a vacation home owned by an arrogant b’naire (CEO) and his wife (just named Wife). After a brief stint of living the life of a tech b’naire in the empty house as he’s robbing it, Nobody (played by Jason Segel) gets caught by CEO (Jesse Plemons) and Wife (Lily Collins) at the last minute. Nobody doesn’t want to hurt CEO or Wife, but doesn’t want them to turn him in either — and so begins a process of negotiation as the character-driven thriller tracks their hopes for survival and success, while uncovering secrets within the trio.

We sadly have no football games to keep us occupied this evening — but they’ll make a comeback over the weekend, starting with Zamalek’s last game in the CAF Champions League group stage tomorrow at 6pm against Angola's Sagrada Esperança. The Egyptian club’s exit from the tournament is a foregone conclusion after it ranked third in its group.

Moving to the UK, Liverpool kicks off matchweek 31 on Saturday against Watford at 2:30pm tomorrow, marking the return of European leagues and the end of the international break.

We’re also watching six other games in the English Premier League on Saturday, with five of them with a 4pm kickoff: Manchester City v Burnley, Chelsea v Brentford, Brighton v Norwich City, Leeds v Southampton, and Wolves v Aston Villa. We’ll be catching our breath for half an hour before the game between Manchester United and Leicester City kicks off at 6:30pm.

La Liga will also be making a return on Saturday, with leading Real Madrid v Celta Vigo at 6:30pm, and other games: Getafe v Mallorca at 2pm, Levante v Villarreal at 4:15pm, and Atletico Madrid v Alaves at 9pm.

???? EAT THIS TONIGHT-
