call

Until the day a team from a company called ReplayTV wheeled in a television set wired to a box with a digital hard drive inside.

After that call, it took only six weeks for Shyamalan to complete a first draft of the screenplay, which he sent to Sparks for comment.

One scene takes place outside a lecture called “The Future of Jihadism Is Female,” a title chosen presumably as just the sort of thing to give Fox News days of much-needed distraction.

And then there was a show called “Culture Clash” that came on Fox for a while, which was our people.

Because the schedule called for a day off between Games 1 and 2, Ohtani didn’t have to play the day after making a start, a situation in which he has difficulty hitting.
