Patrick Stewart isn’t ready to give up being Jean-Luc Picard. The third season of the “Next Generation” spin-off “Picard” centered around the titular Starfleet captain ended in April of last year after successfully polarizing “Star Trek” fans.

Stewart appeared recently on an…

Adam Sandler is a wildly versatile performer whose catalog of Hollywood projects has spanned everything from goofy sports comedies like “Happy Gilmore” and “The Waterboy,” to more dramatic fare like “Punch-Drunk Love” and “Uncut Gems.” His ongoing associations with Netflix have produced the recent animated family film, “Leo,” and the coming-of-age comedy “You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah,” which he stars in with his daughters.

Add to that the stunning views of Los Angeles and the facility’s director, Dr. Ed Krupp — one of the best…
