Was going to watch Millennium Mambo (2001) tonight but was disappointed when it wasn't actually on Criterion Channel (Letterboxd led me astray). It has left me thinking that I would *love* Criterion to release a box set of Hou Hsiao-Hsien's films.

On this day in 1984, the first episode of Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek as host aired. The show originally aired from 1964 to 1975, but was revived in 1984 after the success of Wheel of Fortune. Trebek hosted the program for nearly four decades until his death in 2020. 📸 NBC

The image shows a game show set with a grid of blue screens displaying monetary values ranging from $100 to $500, arranged in rows and columns. In front of the grid stands Alex Trebek, a well-known television personality, dressed in a dark suit with a patterned tie and a pocket square.
