Watchin ItEp 258: Daredevil Sighting in the Show About DaredevilThis week on Watchin It, Donnell and Robert finally get a true Daredevil sighting in Daredevil: Born Again episodes 5 and 6 — and things get messy (in the best way). They break down the surprisingly disconnected but entertaining bank heist of episode 5, where Matt Murdock goes full lawyer-by-day, vigilante-by-night mode. The duo dives deep into MCU Easter eggs like Ms. Marvel’s dad making a cameo, subtle (and not-so-subtle) nods to She-Hulk, and a deliciously thin link to Kingpin’s larger plan.Episode 6 kicks the tension up a notch, with Kingpin slipping further back into his old ways.

O’Donnell rose from senior vice president at the Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City to, eventually, president of that enterprise.
In this 1991 interview O’Donnell recalls his front-row seat into how Donald Trump operates. And what he saw was a shrewd deal maker, a not so great manager, and someone who is motivated almost entirely by how many piles of money he could accumulate.
