How to Get to Heaven from Belfast (TV 2026): Mystery/Comedy. Three friends attend the funeral of a fourth friend from high school and begin to uncover unpleasant facts about the coverup of a crime they all were part of. The story is quirky, which is good, but way too convoluted, which is bad. Still, their interactions are hilarious. B-

Pizza Movie (2026)

Rotten Tomatoes

Rotten Tomatoes

Pizza Movie (2026): It's a dumb movie about college life, hazing, friendship, and growing. Emphasis always on dumb. Redeeming feature: it's not raunchy, unless you consider fart jokes raunchy. If so, you won't last five minutes. D+

Eric Eager's Cri de Coeur

The meeting of the board of trustees of Richardson ISD on April 2, 2026, focused on the district's upcoming 2026-2027 budget, specifically the plan for almost $26 million in budget cuts. Watch the board meeting video for details. Here I want to highlight one trustee's passionate appeal to Austin for more public school funding. Eric Eager is running for re-election. With this speech from his chair on the dais, he made a powerful argument why he should be re-elected. He may be a David fighting against the Goliaths in Austin, but he left no doubt that he's not yielding. He's rallying support for public education.
