Popeye’s Famous Fried Chicken, 6340 N Broadway St – (between Rosemont Ave & Sheridan Rd), Chicago, IL 60660, Neighborhood: Edgewater – (773) 973-0330

Damien Sachs (Sacha Baron Cohen) seemingly has it all: money, power, and a never ending stream of casual flings. As he prepares to ascend to the role of CEO at a leading advertising agency, his life is turned upside down when he wakes up in his worst nightmare: a parallel world dominated by women. Where he once ruled the boardroom, he now finds himself humbled and going head-to-head with the newly fierce and fearless Alex Fox (Rosamund Pike). With the rules of engagement changed and Alex at the top of her game, the two boldly battle it out in a playful and satirical comedy about what happens when the script is flipped.
Q-tips say:YES, we did enjoy “Ladies First.”
For some men, this might feel uncomfortable or hard to relate to, but it brutally portrays the reality of women’s lives. It gives you a great laugh, yet still feels profound.
Such a different pace where women rule the world quite a delight things like Victor’s secret, Burger Queen, new Year new butt, is it that time of the again, couldn’t stop laughing, I’d like to see more things like this.
The Americas will be on weekly at 7:00 PM on NBC, and is available to stream the next day on Peacock.
The last episode shows how they were able to get those awesome photos & breathtaking habitats.
Tom Hanks narrates a 10-episode television event from the executive producers of Planet Earth, exploring the extraordinary worlds and wildlife of North and South America. The breathtaking journey follows amazing creatures living in their natural habitats across the supercontinent, including diverse terrains like the Atlantic Coast, Mexico, Wild West, Amazon, Frozen North, Gulf Coast, Andes, Caribbean, West Coast and Patagonia. Each location comes alive in never-before-seen footage showing the unique connectedness of the land that millions of people call home.
Q-tips say: YES, watch this. We enjoyed The Americas before & now again.
Some of the best parts of The Americas is that it acknowledges the impact of humans on the natural world, to a certain extent. Woodpeckers find new uses for barns, and raccoons run rampant in New York City, demonstrating that we’re not evolving alone and that there are living beings affected by our actions.
Mrs. Q says: The cinematography is beautiful. They also got plenty of intimate shots, whether they’re of insects or snakes or raccoons holing up in a stone wall.
