One extra day in February means 24more hours to binge-watch all the TVand movies that arrive on streamingservices this month.

2020 is a leap year, which means youhave a 29th day to sit around in your pa-jamas and binge-watch your favoriteshows and fi�lms. We can’t guaranteethat a 366th day in the year means youcan shirk your other responsibilities,but it’s fun to pretend you can.

To help you take full advantage of alonger month, we picked out the fi�vebest TV series and movies that are pre-miering on services such as Netfl�ix, Am-azon, Hulu and Disney+. From the sec-ond season of a bold sci-fi� show to acomforting entry in a kids’ franchise, wehave picks that every member of yourfamily will enjoy.

If you want to know what theOscar snubs were all about: ‘The Farewell’

Once you watch this poignant familydrama, it’s easier to see why its fanswere so upset when Awkwafi�na didn’treceive an Oscar nomination for herperformance. The fi�lm, in which a youngAsian American woman travels to Chinato see her dying grandmother (whodoesn’t know she’s dying), fi�nds deepmeaning in its dissection of family, griefand Eastern and Western culture.

❚ Stream it Feb. 12 on Amazon Prime.

If you enjoy a ‘Blade Runner’ vibe: ‘Altered Carbon’

Netfl�ix’s ambitious sci-fi� series,

based on the novel by Richard K. Mor-gan, takes place in a world in which hu-mans’ consciousness can be transferredbetween bodies (known as “sleeves”). InSeason 1, protagonist Takeshi Kovacs(then played by Joel Kinnaman) wasresurrected after hundreds of years andtried to solve the “murder” of a memberof the rich ruling class. In Season 2, An-thony Mackie takes on the role of Ta-keshi, and is still looking for his lostlove, Quellcrist Falconer (Renée EliseGoldsberry), while he investigates morefuturistic crime.

❚ Stream Season 2 on Netfl�ix Feb. 27.

If you miss the Hot Priestfrom ‘Fleabag’: ‘Grantchester’

There’s no replacement for Amazon’s“Fleabag,” but you may be able to satiateyour craving for a small part of the Brit-ish tragicomedy. If you have a love forswoon-worthy men of the cloth, includ-

ing Andrew Scott’s so-called “HotPriest,” you might try PBS drama“Grantchester.” The show follows Sid-ney (James Norton, “Little Women”), anAnglican vicar (which means he candate), who delivers sermons and solvesmurders. In the fourth season, Nortondeparted and a new young hunk, WillDavenport (Tom Brittney), took over.

❚ Stream Season 4 on PBS.org, or Feb.25 on Amazon Prime.

If you love twisty horror: ‘The Cabin in the Woods’

Featuring a pre-”Thor” Chris Hems-worth and a script by Joss Whedon andDrew Goddard (”The Martian”), thissurprising horror fi�lm plays with thegenre’s tropes to make something morenuanced and thrilling than a typicalslasher. When a group of college kidsdrives to a cabin in the woods for aweekend of partying, violence and may-

hem ensues. But the source is not whatyou’d expect.

❚ Stream it on Hulu or Amazon Primestarting Feb. 3.

If you love an existentialspork: ‘Toy Story 4’

Part of the, well, plus of Disney+ isthat the studio’s theatrical releases willquickly debut exclusively on the newstreaming service. Next up is the fourthentry in Pixar’s beloved “Toy Story”franchise. This sweet continuation seesWoody (Tom Hanks) wonder about hisplace in his new child’s life, while hetries to wrangle the terrifi�ed homemadetoy Forky (Tony Hale). Forky has hisown Disney+ series of shorts, “ForkyAsks a Question,” and when you watch“Toy Story 4” again it’s easy to see howthe trash-loving utensil became goodenough for his own spinoff�.

❚ Stream it on Disney Plus Feb. 5.

Awkwafi�na missed out on an Oscar nomination for “The Farewell.” A24 VIA AP

Ross Mathews has met and befriend-ed many a celebrity over his nearly twodecades in television, from “The To-night Show With Jay Le-no” to “RuPaul’s DragRace“ – and now he’s clu-ing in readers on his mostcoveted superstar interac-tions in his book, “NameDrop: The Really Good Ce-lebrity Stories I UsuallyOnly Tell at Happy Hour,”(Atria Books, 224 pp.) outTuesday.

“It’s weird that I live ina world where I know thatLady Gaga knows myname,” an ever-bubblyMathews told USA TODAYover the phone. “I’ll neverget over that.”

While his book highlights fun celebri-ty interactions, including Lady Gaga,Rosie O’Donnell and others, it doesn’tshy away from trying moments either,like the time he accidentally called Eliz-abeth Taylor “Dame Edna” or when hesaid Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlancwere rude to him on-air. Mathews alsoinvites readers into a diffi�cult time in his

family life.We chatted with Mathews ahead of

the book’s release to get the scoop.

On all ‘The View’ hate: ‘Chill out’

Mathews dished aboutall things “The View,” in-cluding how he once co-hosted about 10 times in athree-week period andthat he was close to get-ting off�ered a (literal) seatat the table before a staff�-ing shake-up – hostsSherri Shepherd and Jen-ny McCarthy getting theboot – ruined his chances.

He’s friends with someof the current crew, in-cluding Whoopi Goldberg,Joy Behar and MeghanMcCain. He said it’s ablessing in disguise he

wasn’t cast and that he doesn’t under-stand why people online get so upsetabout the series’ divisive nature.

“If you don’t want to hear views, don’twatch it,” Mathews says. “ Chill out.”

The Omarosa of it all

He competed with Omarosa Mani-

gault Newman on the fi�rst season ofCBS’ “Celebrity Big Brother,” whichaired in February 2018 (Marissa JaretWinokur won, and Mathews placed sec-ond). He says she’s the best of the bestwhen it comes to reality television(something that helped her fi�t in wellwhen she worked for former “The Ap-prentice” star himself, President DonaldTrump).

Mathews remembers an intense mo-ment in the “Big Brother” kitchen wherehe stood up to her. There was a pause asthey stared in each other’s eyes. “OhGod, that was such great TV,” she said,then smiled and walked away.

“I think Omarosa knows exactly whatshe’s doing at all times,” he said.

What’s ahead on ‘Drag Race’

Mathews still can’t believe he gets tosit next to celebrities as a judge on “Ru-Paul’s Drag Race” – he’s appeared on 10seasons so far. And the new season he’lljudge (season 12) is set to premiere onFeb. 28, in addition to a new upcomingseason of the show’s “All Stars.” .

“It feels like the culture kind ofcaught up to what our show is,” Math-ews said of the Emmy-winning realityseries, noting the new seasons are hisfavorite yet.He cheered the fact that

queenshave grown up with their showfor more than a decade – imbuing themwith creativity since they were young.

“Imagine what they can do withouthaving ever wasted any time thinking ‘isthere a place that I fi�t in?’ ” Mathewssaid.

‘I think life brings balances’

His book isn’t all celebrity-focusedthough: There’s a section devoted to thenight he was working on live TV for NewYear’s Eve in 2003, and how he keptworking even after fi�nding out his fatheronly had a few weeks to live.

“It was important for me to show it’snot all sunshines and cotton candy andFrench kisses,” Mathews said of themore harrowing material.

Right now, his mother is battling can-cer – something he refl�ected on whilereading back the chapter about his fa-ther, realizing he’d have to again sum-mon strength as he embarks on a booktour across the country beginning Tues-day in New York.

He was coming out of a breakup anddealing with his mom’s illness whilewriting the book.

“I think life brings balances,” he said.“There are extraordinary blessings inmy life, but there’s also such great pain.”

Jimmie Johnson to the Indianapolis500? No way.

But as for other IndyCar races ... The seven-time NASCAR Cup Series

champion and four-time Brickyard 400winner visited NTT IndyCar Series test-ing Tuesday in Austin, Texas. He ex-pressed interest in tackling road courseracing.

“I’m defi�nitely learning,” Johnsontold the media Tuesday. “This is a totallydiff�erent world than what I’ve been usedto, but it’s a world I dreamed of racing inwhen I was a kid growing up in San Die-go. My heroes were the guys that racedin the Indy 500. I’d go to the Long BeachGrand Prix and watch, hang out and

wanted to be in a car going by.”The 44-year-old announced in No-

vember that 2020 will be his last full-time season as a Cup Series driver. Sun-day at Daytona International Speedway,Johnson posted the fourth-fastestspeed in Daytona 500 qualifying.

Johnson is keen on venturing intoother forms of racing.

“For me, this is a learning experienceand (IndyCar) has always been a bucketlist category for me to come see thesecars, be around these cars,” he said.“(Next year) is open for me and whoknows what opportunity might comealong in IndyCar, sports cars or back tomy off�-road roots. I’m just taking it all inand see what comes of it.”

He said he has “closed the door” onoval racing after he’s done with the CupSeries.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – No matterwhat happens in the 2020 NASCAR CupSeries season, Jimmie Johnson will re-tire as one of racing’s greatest driversever with a record-tying seven champi-onships and 83 wins. But he’s not aboutto let up now.

Johnson announced in Novemberthat he’ll retire from full-time Cup rac-ing at the end of the 2020 season –which opens with Sunday’s Daytona500 (2:30 p.m. ET, Fox) – although he’smade it clear he’s not done competingand is open to trying out other styles ofracing.

But for the next nine months, his fo-cus is on bouncing back from a recenttwo-year slump and winning (at least)one more Cup Series race, which wouldmove him into a three-way tie for No. 5all time with Darrell Waltrip and BobbyAllison.

His fi�rst checkered fl�ag since 2017would also automatically qualify himfor the playoff�s and give him a shot at arecord-breaking eighth championship.

USA TODAY Sports spoke with theseven-time champ Wednesday at Day-tona International Speedway about hisfi�nal season and the new mindset he’sembracing.

(Note: This interview has been con-densed and edited for clarity.)

Does the start to this season feelany diff�erent knowing it’s your lastfull-time run?

Johnson: Pulling in, the fl�ight down,media day, talking about it a lot – I toldmyself in the off�season I wanted to be

present and aware of these opportuni-ties and let it in, so it’s there. There’s somuch excitement in my heart about it allthat it’s really fun and is bringing energyto me and the team. I know as the yeargoes on, it will become more emotional,but right now it’s just bringing a ton ofenergy.

Is that nervous or positive energy,and how does it compare to how pastDaytona 500s have felt?

Johnson: I haven’t been in thetrenches yet racing and worried aboutperformance, so I haven’t had anynerves yet. It’s all been euphoria, uni-corn-level stuff� of just being happy and great. So I know once we go racing,especially when we get to (Las) Vegas(Motor Speedway, for the second race of the season), the reality of the sea-son, the reality of performance will bethere. I’ll get knocked down, but right

now I’m certainly riding a high of eu-phoria.

With all that energy, what’s the onething you’re most excited about goinginto this season?

Johnson: Experiencing this yearwith the people that mean so much tome: Family, (team owner) Rick (Hen-drick), my crew guys. To have this bond– the years, the time, the depth of ourexperience and relationships – the peo-ple part of this is what I’m most excitedfor.

What are you most scared about?Johnson: I think I’m fearful that I’m

not going to be present and enjoy themoments because I’m going to be soworried about competition. So I thinkthat’s my biggest challenge. If we get off�to a quick start and we win, it’s going tobe very easy. But if we don’t get off� to thestart that we want, how do I enjoy these

moments and not be caught in the com-petitive side too much?

You recently said you’re movingaway from the “Chasing 8” mentalityin this fi�nal season. Have your goalsfor the season changed if your mind-set has?

Johnson: What I didn’t recognize isafter we won seven, with the notion ofbeing a stand-alone champion at eight, Istarted chasing something then, and,indirectly, we had come up with thishashtag #Chasing8.

And I had the clarity over the off�sea-son of like, “Holy smokes! I’ve been outof character.” That’s not anything I’veever done. I’ve always just showed up torace and have fun. And that’s where I’vedone my best work. That’s where I’vewon seven championships. That’s whatI’m going back to.

What’s Jimmie Johnson doing 10years from now?

Johnson: That’s a great question. Idon’t even know what I’m doing nextyear. Ten years, kids are 19 and 16. I’ll befearful of my girls dating, fearful of themdriving, worrying about which collegethey’re going to. Dad stuff�.

Would you have any interest in re-turning to Hendrick in an executiveleadership position?

Johnson: I’ve not played that role todate. I’m not against it either, but it’sfamily, it’s home. I still, in the comingyears, want to compete, so I’m not surehow that really works. But I wouldn’trule it out. Hendrick’s home, Hendrick’sfamily, so I’d consider it.

Do you think you’d be OK if youdidn’t win one more race?

Johnson: I wouldn’t have a choice.

TYLER, TX — Better Business Bureau Serving Cen-tral East Texas is hosting the February Lunch.Learn.Lead workshop for BBB Accredited Businesses/Charities and their guests on Monday, February 3 from 11:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at the West Campus of Tyler Junior College locat-ed at 1530 S SW Loop 323 Tyler, TX 75701.

Participants will learn about tax changes which impact businesses, including fringe benefits, equipment deduc-

tions, and other important topics. “Preparing for tax time can be especially stressful for

small business owners,” Mechele Agbayani Mills, President and CEO of BBB Serving Central East Texas said. “Staying up-to-date on new legislation can help prevent costly pen-alties from failure to comply with regulations impacting your business.”

Presenters are Megan Williams and Ben Watson. Both are CPAs with Gollob Morgan Peddy Certified Public Ac-countants.

“Last year was the biggest tax change since 1986,” Wat-son said. “We’ll walk-through those changes and explain what businesses need to know to better prepare their 2019 taxes.”

Watson is an East Texas native who came to Tyler to get a business degree in accounting from the University of Texas at Tyler. After graduating in 2009, Ben began his ca-reer in public accounting at Gollob Morgan Peddy. He was named partner/officer on January 1, 2020. As a tax part-ner, Watson’s practice areas will include real estate, health care and tax planning for high net-worth individuals.

Williams is a Tyler native. A graduate from UT Tyler, she began her career in public accounting at Gollob Morgan Peddy in 2009 and became a partner/officer on January 1, 2020. As a tax partner, Megan’s practice areas include oil & gas, bankruptcy and high net-worth individuals. She is a Leadership Tyler Alumni, having graduated with Core Class 31. She also serves as the Treasurer of the Christian Women’s Job Corp of Tyler.

“Tax law has become increasingly more complex in re-cent years; we’ll discuss the most recent changes you need to know to play for the future,” Wilson said.

BBB Lunch.Learn.Lead events are free for BBB Accredit-ed Businesses and Charities. For the full 2020 BBB Lunch.Learn.Lead workshop schedule, please go to bbb.org or contact Coleman Swierc at (903)581-5888.
