(NEXSTAR) — Jesse Eisenberg, who rose to fame in college-aged films like “Zombieland” and “The Social Network,” is now over 40 and questioning a lot things. At least that’s some of what’s at the center of his multi-layered and meditative sophomore directorial project, “A Real Pain.” The comedic drama, also written by Eisenberg, follows cousins David (Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin, “Succession”), who reunite for a pilgrimage to their recently deceased grandmother’s pre-Holocaust home in Poland. The once-inseparable cousins have grown distant as life taken them in very different directions. Theatrical poster for “A Real Pain,” starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin.

Here’s why it’s the perfect autumn show While David is a successful tech worker with a family, Benji is unemployed (and not looking), living with his mom and stuck inside grief over his grandmother’s death. As the men reunite — their first reunion since they’ve evolved from “boys” to “men” — each cousin is faced with what they don’t like about the other, and themselves.

Officers with the California Highway Patrol are in pursuit of an alleged shooting suspect believed to be armed and who has a dog in the passenger seat Thursday evening.   Details are limited, but the suspect is reportedly wanted for a shooting that occurred earlier in the afternoon at Echo Park and Bellevue avenues in Los Angeles.   The chase was initiated by officers with the Los Angeles Police Department as the suspect, possibly a female, drove at a slow speeds on the northbound 101 Freeway before getting on the 170 Freeway, later exiting to surface streets and then winding her way to the 5 Freeway.   The suspect faked at least four stops, allowing police to surround the vehicle with guns drawn before again taking off to continue the chase.   In one of the instances, the driver stopped and then pulled a U-turn and dangerously wove through officers’ vehicles.   Before taking over the pursuit in Santa Clarita, more than hour after it started, CHP deployed a spike strip, that appears to have been successful.   The chase is currently on the southbound

Elwood Edwards, a media multihyphenate who voiced AOL’s iconic greeting “You’ve got mail,” has died. Edwards died Tuesday at age 74 in New Bern, N.C., after a long illness, his former employer, Ohio NBC affiliate WKYC , confirmed. According to the television station, he died the day before his 75th birthday. During his decade-long stint at WKYC, Edwards worked as a “graphics guru, camera operator, and general jack-of-all-trades,” the station said, “yet it was a somewhat random opportunity in 1989 that earned him international fame.” That year, Edwards recorded the four short phrases — including “You’ve got mail” — that he had “a certain amount of trouble trying to escape” for the rest of his life, he joked in 2012 . Thirty years ago, Edwards’ wife, Karen, was working as a customer service representative at Quantum Computer Services, AOL’s predecessor company, when she overheard then-chief executive Steve Case say he needed a voiceover actor for a new project. “I had an idea. Why not make the service more personal by adding the voice of a person?” Case wrote in his 2016 book “The Third Wave:

In the ongoing investigation into One Direction singer Liam Payne’s death, three suspects have been charged for their alleged involvement in the pop star’s sudden demise last month. The National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office of Argentina announced Thursday in a statement shared in Spanish that it has found evidence of “illicit conduct” by three people — including an employee of the hotel where Payne fell to his death. Charges included abandonment of a person followed by death, and supply and facilitation of narcotics. The suspects, who were not identified, were charged last Friday in a 180-page indictment delivered to judge Laura Graciela Bruniard, the statement said. Payne, an “X Factor” alum who also pursued a solo musical career after his One Direction days, died Oct. 16 after falling from a third-floor balcony at a hotel in Buenos Aires. He was 31. In a preliminary autopsy shared a day after the singer’s death, Argentine officials said authorities found substances in the singer’s room that appeared to be drugs in addition to evidence of consumption of alcohol and narcotics. Officials carried out nine raids and heard

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department are in pursuit of a driver who is wanted for an alleged shooting Monday. It’s unclear what kind of vehicle the suspect is driving, but authorities were in the area of South Los Angeles shortly after the chase was initiated. There were also reports that a police cruiser may have been involved in an accident at 75th Street and Central Avenue, though authorities have yet to confirm that to KTLA. It’s unclear if police deployed a spike strip, but there were sparks seen coming from beneath the vehicle as the raced down surface streets, dangerously weaving around other vehicles in the process. Authorities have also reportedly recovered an item thrown out of the vehicle at Gage Avenue and Hoover Street.

A South Los Angeles man has been sentenced to over nine years for a 10-day long robbery spree that ended in a high-speed crash and freeway foot pursuit, officials announced Thursday. The Department of Justice says Anthony Flores, 28, also known by the alias “BabyGfar,” and other co-conspirators stole about $14,143 total from BevMo! stores in Southern California. In May 2023, Flores and others robbed two BevMo! stores in Long Beach and Lakewood and escaped with high-end liquor that was stored behind security glass. They also threatened employees with violence during the robberies, officials said. At the Long Beach BevMo! store, Flores stole around $2,604 worth of liquor, and at the Lakewood store, he escaped with around $800 worth of liquor. The crew then sold the stolen liquor to buyers on Instagram. The DOJ reports the group also conspired to rob other stores in West Covina and Pasadena, and on June 5, 2023, attempted to rob a BevMo! store in Canyon Country.  In the last robbery attempt, officials say Flores and co-defendant Ivin Kitu Sanford, 32, formerly of South Los Angeles but now a resident

The outlet reported that he passed away from an undisclosed illness on Nov. 5, a day before his 75th birthday.

Officials and universities in several U.S. states condemned racist text messages that were sent to Black residents on Wednesday. The messages, which had almost identical language, told the recipient they had been “selected for cotton picking.”  In a statement, the FBI said it was aware of “the offensive and racist text messages sent to individuals around the country” and said it is in contact with the Justice Department and other federal authorities. The texts were received by people in states including Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Pennsylvania , South Carolina and Ohio, CBS News found. NAACP President Derrick Johnson condemned the messages and said they represent an “alarming increase in vile and abhorrent rhetoric.”  The texts were sent from numbers with area codes in at least 25 different states, CBS News found. By Thursday, several numbers were disconnected, while others went to voicemail that identified them as TextNow users, a provider that allows people to create phone numbers for free.  TextNow said in a statement that it had “learned that one or more of our accounts may have been used to send text messages in

Electric vehicle maker Rivian missed Wall Street’s expectations for revenue on Thursday, with sales coming in lower than anticipated in the third quarter. The Irvine-based company reported revenue of $874 million in the three months ending Sept. 30., which fell short of the $992 million projected by analysts, according to FactSet. The company recorded revenue of $1.3 billion during the same period a year ago. In a shareholder letter, Rivian attributed the revenue drop to a production disruption and “a more challenging consumer environment.” Rivian faces several hurdles, including supply chain problems, safety issues and a slowing demand for electric vehicles from consumers worried about cost and convenient charging options. RJ Scaringe, the company’s founder and chief executive, said in a call with analysts that it’s been a “tough quarter” for Rivian because of the supply chain hiccups and fixing that has been at the top of the company’s priorities. “We’re working very, very hard to address that,” said Scaringe, adding that the company sees the challenge as a “short-term issue.” Automakers are also bracing for more uncertainty after Republican Donald Trump won the 2024

Having revealed his small-ball starting lineup, UCLA basketball coach Mick Cronin soon will have a decision to make when he wants to go big. Does he go with the biggest guy on the team in Aday Mara, a 7-foot-3 sophomore whose intense offseason training should prevent all the huffing he did as a freshman? Or does he opt for William Kyle III, a 6-foot-9 junior transfer who is trying to take a giant step up in competition after spending the last two seasons at South Dakota State? That choice could come as soon as Friday evening when the Bruins face an opponent that started three players 6-foot-9 or taller. “I would anticipate us needing to play bigger against high-major teams like New Mexico,” Cronin said Thursday, referencing the game between the No. 22 Bruins (1-0) and Lobos (1-0) in the Las Vegas Hoopfest at Lee’s Family Forum in Henderson, Nev. Each big man has his selling points and drawbacks. Kyle provides the more athletic option and was the first player off the bench during the Bruins’ season-opening victory over Rider. He’s a natural leaper who
