What to Watch podcast: A League of Their Own swings onto Prime Video

EW Staff

August 12, 2022 at 6:00 a.m.·3 min read

Broad City star Abbi Jacobson co-created and stars in the TV adaptation of the beloved movie A League of Their Own, with a new roster of female players on the Rockford Peaches playing baseball at the height of World War II. Devi is now officially with Paxton on season 3 of Never Have I Ever, but dating the high school hottie may not be all she expected it to be — and that's made complicated with a new hot, smart guy starts at school...who's also Indian. Jamie Foxx and Dave Franco star in the horror-comedy film Day Shift, where Foxx stars as a vampire hunter.

Comedian Chris Estrada created and stars in the comedy This Fool, about a guy trying to get his life together when his ex-gang member cousin comes to live with him. We feature a handful of season finales happening this weekend: Westworld, For All Mankind, Loot, and P-Valley.

Romance in Style star Jaicy Elliot tells us what she's watching. Plus entertainment headlines — including casting news about adult Van on Yellowjackets, Kate McKinnon on who came up with her goodbye sketch on SNL, a Cinderella reunion, and who's coming back for the next season of American Horror Story — our Sound Bite of the Week from the new Rick and Morty trailer, and trivia.

Timing of first BoE rate cut splits economists between June and Q3 - Reuters poll
The Bank of England will wait until next quarter to lower borrowing costs, according to median forecasts in a Reuters poll, although almost half of those surveyed said the central bank would cut interest rates in June. In either case, the BoE would be moving around the same time as peers the European Central Bank (ECB) - widely expected to move in June - and the U.S. Federal Reserve which is predicted to trim rates in September. Top BoE officials - Governor Andrew Bailey and Deputy Governor Dave Ramsden - have recently said British inflation was falling in line with the central bank's predictions and the risk of it getting stuck too high had receded, setting the stage for a rate cut.

Tesla's shift on low-cost cars throws Mexico, India factory plans into limbo
Tesla said on Tuesday that it will use its existing factories to build new and more affordable vehicles as early as late this year, leaving investments in new factories in Mexico and India unlikely in the near term. The world's top EV maker said it plans to raise production by 50% from 2023 to its current capacity of close to 3 million vehicles before investing in new manufacturing lines. "This update may result in achieving less cost reduction than previously expected but enables us to prudently grow our vehicle volumes in a more capex efficient manner during uncertain times," the company said.

Dollar shaky after euro rebound; yen mired at 34-year low
However the yen remained mired near a 34-year low versus the U.S. currency, even as Japanese officials stepped up intervention warnings. The dollar index - which measures the currency against six major peers including the euro, sterling and yen - was flat at 105.64 in early Asian trading after slumping 0.4% overnight and touching the lowest level since April 12 at 105.23. The euro was little changed at $1.069975 following Tuesday's 0.45% rally, after data showed business activity in the euro zone expanded at its fastest pace in nearly a year, primarily due to a recovery in services.
