A red card for Team USA at the 2026 FIFA World Cup could come with an unexpected consolation: free pizza.

Domino’s said Monday, May 18, it will give away up to $1 million worth of “Emergency Pizzas” if a U.S. national team player is sent off during the tournament. Fans who sign up in advance could be eligible to claim one of more than 60,000 free medium two‑topping pizzas if that happens.

“Soccer gurus know the worst thing to happen in a game is for a player on the team you're rooting for to receive a red card,” Kate Trumbull, Domino’s executive vice president, said in a statement. “If that happens to the American squad, Domino’s is here to help ease the pain by giving away Emergency Pizzas.”

If any player from the U.S. team receives a red card in the soccer tournament this summer, Domino’s will help ease the pain by giving away $1 million worth of Emergency Pizzas.How to get a free Domino’s pizza

Fans must register through Domino’s website before June 10 to qualify for the promotion, according to the company. If a red card is issued to a U.S. player during the World Cup, eligible participants can claim a free pizza while supplies last.

More free pizza, even without a red card

The giveaway isn’t limited to the World Cup.

Domino’s also said it will distribute 75,000 free pizzas to EA Sports FC 26 players through June 5. Players who log into the game on Fridays during the promotion period will receive a unique code for a free medium two‑topping pizza, the company said.

“Maybe players loaded into EA SPORTS FC 26 on an empty stomach, or perhaps their fridge is bare — whatever the reason, Domino’s is here to provide the emergency assist,” the company said.

With a name like Katherine "Sugarpuss" O'Shea, how can you not be intrigued? Such is the case for the group of professors living together in *Ball of Fire*, a screwball comedy classic from one of the genre's masters, Howard Hawks. Barbara Stanwyck stars as Sugarpuss, who works as a nightclub performer and meets one of the group's younger professors, the handsome Bertram (Gary Cooper). Sugarpuss is also involved with a powerful Mob boss, so she uses the professors' house as a hideout while trying to evade the police and teaches them a thing or two about the real world. Stanwyck deservedly earned an Oscar nomination for her effervescent performance. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Where to watch *Ball of Fire*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Howard Hawks

**Cast:** Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck

The Breakfast Club (1985)

Five teenagers from different social cliques converge for a day of detention in this seminal John Hughes classic: "Brain" Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall), "Athlete" Andrew Clark (Emilio Estevez), "Basket Case" Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy), "Princess" Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald), and "Criminal" John Bender (Judd Nelson). Despite their surface differences, the quintet gets to know each other and realizes their shared commonality is difficult home lives.

*The Breakfast Club* has endured as one of the most defining teen comedies of the '80s and tops EW's list of the 50 best high school movies of all time. As EW's writer claims, "If hell is other people — and high school is hell — then John Hughes is the genre's Sartre, and this is his *No Exit*." —*K.J.*

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946)

Harold Russell as Homer Parrish and Dana Andrews as Fred Derry in 'The Best Years of Our Lives'. Everett Collection

Released in the aftermath of World War II, *The Best Years of Our Lives* is one of the very best films about American veterans' postwar experience. The film tracks the lives of three vets who return to their hometown, bonded over the traumas of war. One suffers from debilitating PTSD, another turns to alcohol to cope, while the third has to readjust to everyday life after losing both of his hands. The sensitively crafted epic won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. —*K.J.*

This profoundly affecting Italian neorealist classic conveys so much even with a relatively simple premise. Antonio (Lamberto Maggiorani) hopes to provide for his family by getting a job that requires a bicycle. Scraping together the money to purchase a bike at a pawn shop, Antonio is mortified when a thief steals his bike on his first day on the job, leading him and his young son, Bruno (Enzo Staiola), down an increasingly hopeless path to get it back. Casting then-nonprofessional actors Maggiorani and Staiola brings an inherent authenticity to the film, which starkly depicts life on the poverty line in postwar Italy. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Bicycle Thieves*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Vittorio De Sica

**Cast:** Lamberto Maggiorani, Enzo Staiola, Lianella Carell

The Bishop's Wife (1947)

James Gleason as Sylvester, Cary Grant as Dudley, and Loretta Young as Julia Brougham in 'The Bishop's Wife'

James Gleason as Sylvester, Cary Grant as Dudley, and Loretta Young as Julia Brougham in 'The Bishop's Wife'.

When bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) prays for heavenly guidance, his prayers are answered by the prompt arrival of Dudley (Cary Grant), a smooth-tongued angel who installs himself as the bishop's assistant. However, Dudley's plan to help the spiritually needy takes a turn when he develops feelings for Julia (Loretta Young), Henry's wife. A bishop/bishop's wife/angel love triangle is an unusual premise, but the film, held together by Grant's effortless charm, manages to be both a romantic comedy and a careful fable about charity. —*Danny Horn*

Where to watch *The Bishop's Wife*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Henry Koster

**Cast:** Cary Grant, Loretta Young, David Niven

Charade (1963)

Walter Matthau as Carson Dyle and Audrey Hepburn as Regina 'Reggie' Lampert in 'Charade'

Walter Matthau as Carson Dyle and Audrey Hepburn as Regina 'Reggie' Lampert in 'Charade'.

A thrilling comedy romp through Paris, *Charade* sizzles with wit and hectic suspense. After Regina (Audrey Hepburn) learns that her estranged husband died mysteriously, she's threatened by several menacing men who demand an explanation for a cache of stolen money that she knows nothing about. The only person Regina can trust is a handsome stranger she meets by chance (a deliciously arch Cary Grant), although his name and motivations keep changing as she learns more about him. Hepburn and Grant play to their respective strengths, while the film transitions from silly to serious and back again. —*D.H.*

**Director:** Stanley Donen

City Lights (1931)

Amazon Prime has numerous Charlie Chaplin classics among its streaming collection, but this 1931 romantic dramedy is the cream of the crop. Chaplin stars as his signature Little Tramp character, who falls in love with a young blind woman who mistakes him for a millionaire. After he befriends an actual millionaire, the Tramp hopes to secure the funds to help restore the woman's sight. Enduringly hopeful, this touching tale is sure to make you dissolve into happy tears by its conclusion. —*K.J.*

The Conversation (1974)

In an era filled with paranoia thrillers that reflected the growing distrust of institutions (largely stemming from the Watergate scandal), *The Conversation* stands above the rest. Gene Hackman stars as Harry Caul, a surveillance expert tasked by a client with monitoring a couple in San Francisco's Union Square. After he hears them discussing the threat of murder, Harry becomes troubled — especially after his recordings are stolen. With first-rate sound work and a committed performance by Hackman, *The Conversation* is a gripping time capsule that also resonates in today's surveillance-heavy world. —*K.J.*

**Director:** Francis Ford Coppola

Jean Simmons as Sister Sarah Brown (left) and Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson (second from left) in 'Guys and Dolls'

Jean Simmons as Sister Sarah Brown (left) and Marlon Brando as Sky Masterson (second from left) in 'Guys and Dolls'.

A high-class musical comedy about low-rent gamblers and seedy gangsters, *Guys and Dolls* transports the viewer to a colorful fantasy version of the New York underworld, where guys in flashy suits follow a single rule: no welshing on a bet. Nathan Detroit (Frank Sinatra) is trying to earn some dough, so he bets Sky Masterson (Marlon Brando, in his only musical) that he can't make a date with the pious sister from the Save-a-Soul Mission (Jean Simmons). The showstopper is Brando's "Luck Be a Lady," delivered during a craps game in New York City's cleanest sewer. —*D.H.*

Before there was *Mean Girls *(2004), there was this dark satire about the impossible pressures of high school. The film follows high schooler Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) as she joins a popular but feared clique of girls, all with the same first name: Heather. Quickly exhausted by the Heathers, she befriends the new kid, J.D. (Christian Slater), who has dangerous ideas to help Veronica get back at them. Wickedly funny with sharp observational humor, *Heathers* is a (heightened) testament to the Gen X high school experience at its most cynical. —*K.J.*

(Center): Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey and Donna Reed as Mary Hatch Bailey in 'It's a Wonderful Life'.

Usually considered a Christmas viewing tradition, the endearing and enduring *It's a Wonderful Life* is a joy to watch during any season. Jimmy Stewart stars as George Bailey, a man on the brink of suicide after giving up his dreams to support his family and his community. Upon wishing that he was never born, he attracts the attention of guardian angel Clarence Odbody, who listens to George's story and shows him what the world would be like without him. Director Frank Capra injects optimism and warmth into the dark premise, expressing the always-timely message that everyone is connected and everybody matters. —*D.H.*

**Cast:** Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, Henry Travers

The Little Foxes (1941)

Bette Davis as Regina Hubbard Giddens in 'The Little Foxes'

Bette Davis as Regina Hubbard Giddens in 'The Little Foxes'.

Three scheming siblings jockey for money and power in *The Little Foxes*, a stirring melodrama starring Bette Davis as the villainous Regina. Their fight for control of a cotton mill consumes the family in a complex game of betrayal, blackmail, and loveless marriages, with the predatory Regina reigning above all. Davis' commanding performance garnered one of her five consecutive Oscar nominations for Best Actress, as she steals the show with an icy glare and a razor-sharp tongue. The callous climax in which Regina tells her husband how she really feels about him is devastating — and fascinating. —*D.H.*

**Director:** William Wyler

**Cast:** Bette Davis, Herbert Marshall, Teresa Wright

Liza With a "Z" (1972)

The year was 1972. Liza Minnelli was receiving rave reviews for her performance in *Cabaret*, which was released in February and eventually won her the Best Actress Oscar. Then, in September, she starred in this dazzling concert special, cementing her status as one of the greats. The 53-minute special features Minnelli at her best, belting out American standards to an eager crowd and ending with a sensational medley of songs from *Cabaret*. It's good old-fashioned entertainment from a world-class entertainer. —*K.J.*

**Cast:** Liza Minnelli

My Man Godfrey (1936)

Carole Lombard as Irene Bullock and William Powell as Godfrey Parke in 'My Man Godfrey'

Carole Lombard as Irene Bullock and William Powell as Godfrey Parke in 'My Man Godfrey'.

*My Man Godfrey* is a gem of the screwball era, a social satire with rapid-fire witty dialogue. Carole Lombard plays Irene, the younger daughter in a family that's wealthy, though they’d rather you call them "eccentric." During a scavenger hunt, Irene discovers a "forgotten man" named Godfrey (William Powell), hires him as the new butler, and declares that he's her protégé. Godfrey takes to buttling and manages to tame the batty family — except for Irene, who keeps insisting that they love each other. —*D.H.*

**Cast:** William Powell, Carole Lombard, Gail Patrick

Penny Serenade (1941)

Cary Grant as Roger Adams and Irene Dunne as Julie Gardiner in 'Penny Serenade'

Cary Grant as Roger Adams and Irene Dunne as Julie Gardiner in 'Penny Serenade'.

Cary Grant and Irene Dunne play the doting parents of an adopted child in this sentimental favorite about the power of familial love. Roger and Julie fall for each other and get married, but their dream of raising a child is dashed when Julie loses their unborn child during an earthquake. Hoping to adopt a 2-year-old boy, they bring home a 5-week-old girl instead — and fall head over heels in love with her. Their efforts to prove to the orphanage and the court that they're fit parents are both comical and deeply affecting. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Penny Serenade*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** George Stevens

**Cast:** Irene Dunne, Cary Grant, Beulah Bondi, Edgar Buchanan

Stagecoach (1939)

George Bancroft as Curley, John Wayne as the Ringo Kid, and Claire Trevor as Dallas in 'Stagecoach'

George Bancroft as Curley, John Wayne as the Ringo Kid, and Claire Trevor as Dallas in 'Stagecoach'.

*Stagecoach* was John Wayne's breakthrough film, boosting him from B-movies and straight onto the A-list. The story concerns a group of strangers brought together by circumstance, traveling on a stage bound for New Mexico through dangerous Apache territory. The mixed bag of passengers includes a sex worker, a pregnant wife, an alcoholic doctor, a stuffy banker, a shifty gambler, and Wayne as Ringo the Kid — an escaped convict who's gunning for the men who killed his brother. Wayne shines in both quiet moments and the fast-paced chase sequence when the stagecoach is attacked. It was the first of many hard-fighting everyman roles for the Duke. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Stagecoach*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** John Ford

**Cast:** Claire Trevor, John Wayne, Andy Devine, John Carradine

A Star Is Born (1937)

Fredric March as Norman Maine and Janet Gaynor as Esther Blodgett in 'A Star Is Born'

Fredric March as Norman Maine and Janet Gaynor as Esther Blodgett in 'A Star Is Born'.

It's the quintessential Hollywood story: A naive girl leaves the farm to make it big as a movie star, works as a waitress at a swanky party, and catches the eye of a passing bigwig. Esther (played by a sparkling Janet Gaynor) gets her big break when she meets Norman (Fredric March), a well-known actor on the verge of a steep downturn in his own career. You may be familiar with one of this movie's three remakes, which reframe the main character as a singer. Watch this version for a nostalgic tour through the mythology of vintage Tinseltown. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *A Star Is Born*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** William A. Wellman

**Cast:** Janet Gaynor, Fredric March

Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928)

Ernest Torrence as William 'Steamboat Bill' Canfield Sr. and Buster Keaton as William Canfield Jr. in 'Steamboat Bill Jr.'

Ernest Torrence as William 'Steamboat Bill' Canfield Sr. and Buster Keaton as William Canfield Jr. in 'Steamboat Bill Jr.'.

*Steamboat Bill Jr.* is a true classic starring the king of deadpan physical comedy. Ernest Torrence plays a gruff steamboat captain who is astonished when his son (Buster Keaton) returns from college as a slim, mild-mannered sensitive type with a beret, a mustache, and a ukulele. Bill's attempts to toughen Bill Jr. up are continually undermined (even choosing the proper hat becomes a hilarious four-minute set piece). The cyclone sequence at the end notably includes one of Keaton's best-known stunts, in which he avoids being flattened by the falling front side of a house. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Steamboat Bill Jr*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Charles Reisner

**Cast:** Buster Keaton, Ernest Torrence, Marion Byron

Stella Dallas (1937)

Barbara Stanwyck as Stella Dallas in 'Stella Dallas'

Barbara Stanwyck as Stella Dallas in 'Stella Dallas'.

Stella (Barbara Stanwyck), a working-class woman aspiring to a higher station, marries a rich man (John Boles) and has a daughter, Laurel. As Stella and Stephen drift apart, she puts all her energy into raising Laurel, ultimately making great sacrifices to give her daughter a better life. *Stella Dallas* is a great character piece for Stanwyck, who earned her first Academy Award nomination by nailing Stella's brassy, comedic side and her grand, tear-jerking devotion to her daughter's happiness. —*D.H.*

Where to watch *Stella Dallas*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** King Vidor

**Cast:** Barbara Stanwyck, John Boles, Anne Shirley

The Third Man (1949)

Joseph Cotten as Holly Martins and Bernard Lee as Sergeant Paine in 'The Third Man'

This indelible film noir has some of the best cinematography (and storytelling) to be found in the classic genre. Joseph Cotten plays Holly Martins, an American author in postwar Vienna, hoping to secure a job from his friend. The only problem? His friend has suffered an accidental death, leading Holly to investigate what exactly happened. Falling in love with his friend's girlfriend in the process, Holly eventually uncovers a shocking truth, turning the whole narrative on its head. Let's just say, there's never been a more impactful "character stepping out of the shadows" moment in all of cinema. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Third Man*: Amazon Prime Video

**Director:** Carol Reed

**Cast:** Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Orson Welles, Trevor Howard

Wuthering Heights (1939)

Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff and Merle Oberon as Catherine Earnshaw Linton in 'Wuthering Heights'

Laurence Olivier as Heathcliff and Merle Oberon as Catherine Earnshaw Linton in 'Wuthering Heights'.

If you're going to watch an adaptation of Emily Brontë's *Wuthering Heights*, we insist on the original: Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon's 1939 masterpiece of doomed romance on the wild moors. Heathcliff and Catherine have loved each other since childhood, but their class difference separates them until Heathcliff returns to Wuthering Heights with a fortune, determined to win her away from her husband. Catherine and Heathcliff are passionate, frustrating, willful creatures, so entangled with love, hate, and revenge that it consumes them — and everyone around them. —*D.H.*

In November 2020, Kane suffered a stroke that resulted in him largely unable to speak, according to a post by his daughter on his Facebook page.

Two years before his stroke, Kane shared in an interview with Fandom Spotlite which characters he's had the most fun voicing.

"Well, Yoda is my favorite character because I'm a *Star Wars *nerd," Kane admitted. "But next to that, would have to be Professor Utonium because he's, first of all, Professor Utonium is probably the closest to my natural voice and he's a big dorky dad like I am, so there we go. It's a natural fit."**

Cheap new missiles designed to shoot down drones have been fitted to Britain’s fleet of RAF Typhoons and are now being used to protect the Middle East from Iranian air attacks.

Fighter jets operating across the Gulf are now carrying the Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System, which was developed in a matter of weeks after a hurried effort by the military.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the weapons cost a “fraction of the price” of munitions such as the £200,000 Advanced Short Range Air-to-Air Missiles (ASRAAM) previously used to destroy Shahed drones, which themselves cost between £15,000 and £50,000.

Unguided Hydra 70mm rockets were converted into precision weapons thanks to a new laser guidance system that allows them to strike targets in the air.

The kit was rushed into service in less than two months following a combined effort by defence giants BAE Systems, which owns the weapon, and QinetiQ, which integrated it.

Luke Pollard, a defence minister, said: “This has been a superb effort working with industry to test and deploy this system in a matter of months, which will help the RAF shoot down many more drones at a much lower cost.

“Our Typhoon fleet is the backbone of UK and Nato air defence, with the RAF protecting Europe’s eastern flank from Russian drone incursions and defending our partners across the Middle East.”

The Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System being fired

Trials for the rockets took place at an accelerated pace, with the first successful strike on a ground target taking place in March.

Typhoon pilots from 41 Test and Evaluation Squadron then carried out the first successful air-to-air firing last month. Crews hit a drone known as a Banshee, which can fly at 350mph, during a successful shoot at a firing range at QinetiQ’s site in Aberporth, Ceredigion.

Simon Galt, QinetiQ’s managing director for air, said the pace of development was unprecedented, and involved more than 100 people. “It was an eight-week piece of work from concept to trial, which is incredibly pacey for this type of integration,” he added.

“This shows the UK has got all of the people, resources and infrastructure it needs to rapidly do tests.”

Earlier this year, the MoD signed a £205m contract extension with QinetiQ to provide technical and engineering support for the RAF’s Typhoon fleet over five years. Mr Galt said this laid the “foundation” for the rapid rollout of the new missiles.

The system has been deployed on operations in the Middle East, with sorties flown by 9 Squadron Typhoons as part of the missions to defend against Iranian bombardment.

The system went from testing to deployment on operations in less than two months - Tim Hammond/MoD

Britain has already sent hundreds of additional air defence troops to the Middle East in response to the Iran war, which began with joint US and Israeli strikes in February.

Sky Sabre missiles have been deployed to Saudi Arabia and lightweight multi-role missiles have been sent to Bahrain. The RAF’s Rapid Sentry and Orcus air defence systems are also operating in Kuwait.

Meanwhile, RAF Regiment gunners have used Rapid Sentry’s missiles to fend off multiple drone attacks on a coalition base in Iraq.

Britain is also investing millions of pounds to buy new Skyhammer interceptor missiles to destroy Shahed-style drones.

- Randall Park recalls the worst trip that he ever took was when a long drive to see a girlfriend ended with him in the hospital, he tells **.

- Park's best trip was when he went with his father to London, not long before he died.

- The *Always Be My Maybe* star is taking over the Negotiator character in Priceline ads from William Shatner.

Randall Park has had some memorable trips — not all of them happy.

"When I was out of high school, I had a high school girlfriend who ended up going to Indiana University. So I decided to do a road trip from L.A. to Indiana," Park tells **. "And that turned out to be a nightmare because I ended up getting sick somewhere around Wyoming. And by the time I got to Chicago, I ended up in a hospital, and I had viral meningitis."

The *Fresh Off the Boat* star was desperate to reach his girlfriend, but his health status made it impossible.

"I remember just thinking, 'I have to get to Indiana to see her,'" he says. "But I was so sick that I ended up having to fly back home and I never made it to Indiana."

The couple stayed together for a year or so, but then they broke up. He always wondered what would have happened if he had reached his intended destination.

Park, who married actress Jae Suh Park in 2009, takes travel seriously. Priceline announced Tuesday that he's taking over the role of the brand's Negotiator from the iconic William Shatner.

The actor, who has already portrayed Jimmy Woo in Marvel projects such as *Ant-Man* and *WandaVision*, as well as appeared in the 2019 movie *Always Be My Maybe*, notes that it's a big deal for him.

"I took it just as seriously as I would any role," Park says. "I really put a lot of thought into the character and what I could bring to it, but also all of the tropes and the things that a spy, a secret agent kind of character would embody."

The job was an easy sell for him.

"There was a lot to like about it, because I grew up watching their ads and seeing William Shatner as the Negotiator," Park says. "So that was all firmly in place in my brain and kind of just embedded from growing up watching him. So to be a part of something that already existed in my memory was very exciting."

Park, 52, is quick to recall his best trip, too, although narrowing down the list is difficult for him.

"A couple years ago, I went on a trip to London with my parents," he explains. "And that was really cool. My dad passed not too long ago, so I really look back at that trip very fondly. He really loved the trip and we had a really great time."

Park told PEOPLE in March 2025 that his father's death from cancer and his 50th birthday had prompted him to focus on his health. He ran his first marathon in New York City.

In addition to his new role as the Negotiator, Park plays the character of Gabe on the new AMC series *The Audacity*.
