Todd & Julie Chrisley Got Pardoned Because What Even Is Fraud, Really?

I’m going to be completely honest with you folks. I know next to nothing about Todd and Julie Chrisley except that they committed a whole bunch of fraud, and their daughter sold herself to Trump’s 2024 campaign for a pardon, which he shockingly delivered on. Paying for things is not his go-to move. Outside of that, I’m clueless. Todd looks like a third-tier SNL character who everyone hated but still got a movie because “Singing Penis Man” is a premise you don’t just throw away. On paper it sells itself. (CNN)

Finnyfinfinn was amused to see that Marissa Stapley’s novella about a grifter having the best and worst day, Lucky, is being made into a series starring Anya Taylor-Joy. “I just found out that Timothy Olyphant has also been cast in it and I knew that you would all want to know this extremely important information.” Which book and actor combination would you like to see on your screen?
