This week on Peanuts and Popcorn, we open with our Peanuts segment, where the new ABS system is quietly reshaping the game — and putting umpires on notice in ways that are anything but subtle. In Popcorn, we kick things off with Leo’s pick: JerryLewis’s wordless whirlwind of slapstick, The Bellboy (1960). Our second film is Tom’s selection, AlfonsoCuarón’s luminous Roma (2018), winner ofthe Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film.
