Wes Anderson is back with his latest joint. Benicio del Toro takes center stage as an ailing arms dealer who has to navigate the transition of his empire to his only daughter who just happens to be a holy rolling woman of the cloth (that's a nun for the uninitiated). An all star cast rounds out this ensemble including Tom Hanks, Willem Dafoe, Benedict Cumberbatch, Scarlett Johansson and Mia Threapleton (as Sister Liesl). All the things that you love about a Wes Anderson movie promise to take centerstage. Unlike prior episodes, we have not yet seen The Phoenician Scheme. We are just talking about it because we like Wes Anderson's movies and he does not disappoint. We are excited for this May release!
We take a closer look at Who is Benicio del Toro is. Jay has once again let you down and avoided giving you a honey based recipe. He is working on it. Keep the faith. He will get to it sooner or later.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
