(all times CLT)

The relentless world of morning television — with all its dramatic realities: Apple TV+ drama The Morning Show takes viewers behind the scenes of the world of morning television (where the work day starts at 3:30am). The series, which premiered in 2019, starts the first season with the abrupt firing of popular morning show co-host Mitch Kessler (played by Steve Carrell) following allegations of sexual misconduct against him go public amid the #MeToo movement. His co-host of 15 years, Alex (Jennifer Aniston), and the show’s network scramble to address the scandal, and to replace the disgraced anchor with someone who can give ratings a much needed boost. Eventually, the network settles on an inexperienced field reporter, Bradley (Reese Witherspoon). The show’s second season tackles issues of homophobia with Bradley struggling with her identity, how covid-19 upturned entire industries, and cancel culture as Kessler spends his meaningless days in a mansion in Italy. The show has been renewed for a third season, but no release date has been announced yet.

???? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Il Divino Pizzeria has your next pizza party covered: Il Divino specializes in homemade wood-fired oven pizzas, with crispy crusts. Their menu includes appetizers, salads, sandwiches, a variety of mains, and even dessert, but pizza remains the star of the show. It is refreshing to eat a slice of pizza that isn’t smothered in an excessive amount of cheese, so you are able to fully appreciate the crust, the tomato sauce, and the toppings equally. The crust is thin and airy and the sauce to cheese ratio is balanced so slices are not too rich. We recommend the funghi pizza and the vegetable pizza that’s topped with mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, red and green pepper, onions, olives and tomatoes. Il Divino has branches on both the east and west ends of Cairo, as well as Zamalek, Uptown Cairo, Maadi, and Heliopolis, and two Sahel branches in Telal and La Vista Bay.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

The story of the Limewire era: The invention of the mp3 format for audio files by German audio engineers paved the way for an era in which pretty much all the music ever recorded became available to download online without charge. It’s a story you think you know — and probably lived through most of it, but the intertwining storylines that led to the world of online music downloads and streaming are far more complex. How Music Got Free: A Story of Obsession and Invention by journalist Stephen Witt chronicles the chain of events, starting with the invention of the mp3 and all the crime and manipulation that followed.
