My heart dropped into my colon when I heard the news that Buck Henry had died.
Twitter was full of declarations of plans to rewatch “The Graduate,” “Heaven Can Wait” or old episodes of “SNL.” But my first instinct wasn’t to watch actors bring his incredible scripts to life, or even watch him perform.
What I wanted to do was watch Buck Henry tell stories. So I curled up on my couch with my laptop and scoured YouTube for hours watching him on every chat show I could find, talking about life and politics, like he was in my living room with me. Like he was still here.
You see, I became a really big Buck Henry fan watching him on late-night TV, back in the 1980s when I was a young, up-and-coming comedian. Back then, amazing storytellers would be staples on TV when the art of storytelling was celebrated.

A slightly intriguing, if straight-forward, rescue mission has enough low-key tension to make for an entertaining Star Wars Resistance.

Star Wars Resistance Season Episode 12
Well, you can’t really go wrong with utilizing a two-parter to shake things up a bit. As it stands, “The Missing Agent,” isn’t really much of a game-changer, or even that strong of a story to be honest. There’s the usual padding and stalling, but it isn’t particularly egregious for Star Wars Resistance.
It’s mostly a small mystery tale, a soft investigation into the disappearance of a Resistance agent that pulls Kaz, Yeager, and Synara into its orbit. The episode hedges its bets by showing the captor of said agent, and by explaining the reason for the captor’s actions, at the onset–all of which is revealed before the actual...
