The List for Tuesday, July 9th 2024

Welcome to The List,

We start with ‘The Voice’..and Jason Aldean…He was asked if he thought he would ever be a judge..”Maybe, I never say never…but, it’s a little bit of a mental game too of who’s saving who and how can I keep this person. I’d probably be the worst judge ever!”

Of all his movies, Nicolas Cage wants you to watch 2021's "Pig".  He says, quote, "To me [it's] like a folk song.  It's a very quiet, gentle movie, which is the polar opposite of . . . people thinking I'm crazy."  ..not at all like his NEW movie, it’s a horror movie titled ‘Longlegs’ in theaters July 12th. It’s a cross between The ‘Silence of the Lambs’ and ‘Sinister’.
