The hit Discovery Channel series “Deadliest Catch” is shaking things up in its 20th season with a new captain at the helm of the F/V Seabrooke. Sophia “Bob” Nielsen, a 23-year-old third-generation fisherwoman who made her debut in Season 19, has been given a second chance after facing setbacks with her own vessel.
Nielsen, who joined the show as the captain of F/V Victory, encountered significant challenges in her rookie year. Despite bringing in 40,000 pounds of crab, she faced technical difficulties and a collision that left her $200,000 in debt. Now, thanks to a lifeline from Captain Greg Wallace of the Seabrooke, Nielsen has the opportunity to hone her skills and prove herself as a capable captain.
This transition hasn’t been without controversy. Megan Wallace, Captain Greg’s daughter and a longtime crew member of the Seabrooke, has expressed reservations about Nielsen’s rapid ascent to the captain’s chair.

The Cornelia Marie doesn’t appear in Deadliest Catch Season 19. With that said, a fan on Reddit noticed the boat in the background of the season 19 premiere. “I saw the Cornelia Marie in the background again, at the 28:24 to 28:31 mark, when the Saga was leaving the docks,” the fan wrote. “The bottom front part’s blurred (name and logo/emblem), but longtime DC fans will know the Cm when they see her, blurred or not.”

Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch is no exaggeration. The long-running reality series profiles the lives of people working in the commercial fishing industry, one of the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. Over the years, several of the show’s cast members have died. Some were involved in work-related accidents, while others had health issues or were battling addiction. Here are just a few of the Deadliest Catch cast members who have died after appearing on the show.
‘Deadliest Catch’ cast member Todd Kochutin died in a 2021 accident
Commercial fisherman regularly put their lives on the line to do their job. An average of 43 people working in the field die from a traumatic work-related injury every year, according to the CDC, a rate far higher than for the average worker. Sadly, Deadliest Catch’s Todd Kochutin was one of those deaths. In 2021, the 30-year-old was fatally injured in an...

Nick McGlashan, a fisherman who was a regular cast member on Discovery Channel’s “Deadliest Catch,” died Sunday in Nashville, Tenn., his family told TMZ. He was 33.
“Our deepest sympathy goes out to Nick’s loved ones during this difficult time,” a Discovery Channel spokesperson told Variety. “Nick came from a long line of crabbers and was known for his great depth of knowledge. He also had a sharp sense of humor even in the most difficult conditions. He will be deeply missed by all those who knew him.”
McGlashan appeared on the reality series from 2013 to 2020 and appeared in more than 75 episodes, in addition to several TV specials and the behind-the-scenes series “Deadliest Catch: The Bait.”

F/V Summer Bay Captain “Wild” Bill Wichrowski is put to the test tonight on Deadliest Catch when he is already far out into the Bering Sea and then learns from his greenhorn-turned-deckhand Ronnie James that there’s no bait for the crab pots. Imagine you have invested the money in fuel, scheduling crew and paying out salaries, and include with that your own precious time which is quite limited in crab season and then find out that you might have to double back to get something as simple as bait, a necessity on a fishing vessel. Your head would explode, as […]

On tonight’s Deadliest Catch season finale, a generator on the Summer Bay fails in giant seas — leaving Captain “Wild Bill” Wichrowski powerless to control the vessel as huge waves slam it from all sides. At one point a massive surge hits the side of the vessel, smashing into the cockpit and sending water pouring in through the window as Captain Bill is thrown out of his seat. The incident happens as he battles 20ft waves and 50-knot winds while struggling to finish his season. It took place not long after the sinking of the F/V Destination crabbing boat — which was found...read more...

Luke Hemsworth is finally getting to play the cowboy.
The 36-year-old actor stars in his first leading role in a feature film as the titular character in Hickok. It's a career milestone for the older brother of Chris and Liam Hemsworth, but it seems the allure of the project had less to do with a transition to leading man, and more with childhood dreams left unfulfilled by his character on HBO’s Westworld.
"I never get to play the cowboy with guns in Westworld!" Hemsworth jokingly complains to Et. On the sci-fi drama, the actor plays security guard Ashley Stubbs, who gets to wield a gun but not like the guests living out their Wild West dreams in the park do. "So [Hickok] was a good chance for me to live the boyhood dream of gunslinging."

It's no secret that I didn't like what Paramount Pictures did with the G.I. Joe franchise at all. I grew up on all things G.I. Joe, that franchise was my favorite thing as a kid and I still love it. Unfortunately, the studio handled the property completely wrong. I've always felt that the franchise needed a complete overhaul, and now the studio is moving forward with it. I just don't know if what they are planning will be any better than what they've already done.
During an interview with La Times, it's explained that Paramount has big plans for rebooting the G.I. Joe franchise with "a revamped look intended to appeal to younger audiences." Simon Waters, who oversees consumer products at Hasbro Studios, said that they want to take "a more millennial approach." He explains:

Giancarlo Giannini and The Lost City of Z‘s Sienna Miller are the latest stars to climb aboard The Catcher Was a Spy, Ben Lewin’s WWII drama poised to take the incredible true story of former Mlb player Moe Berg and pitch it for the big screen.
Deadline has the scoop, confirming that Giannini and Miller now join an ensemble comprised of Ant-Man‘s Paul Rudd, Guy Pearce, Paul Giamatti and Jeff Daniels. Dawidoff’s biography, The Catcher Was A Spy: The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg, has been labeled as the primary source of inspiration, creatively speaking, as it tells the story of Berg’s double life as a multilingual pro baseball player, who spent his time away from the field operating as an agent for the Office of Strategic Services – the U.S. intelligence agency that went on to become the CIA we know today – during...

Deadline reports that Jeff Daniels and Billions star Paul Giamatti have closed deals to join WWII drama The Catcher Was a Spy.
They’ll buddy up with Ant-Man‘s Paul Rudd and Guy Pearce, who climbed on board to play military specialist Furman just last week. Daniels is attached to the role of O.S.S. Chief “Wild Bill” Donovan – commonly referred to as the “Father of Central Intelligence” long before the CIA was born – while Giamatti will portray a physicist known as Goudsmit. Leading the charge for this one is Rudd, who signed on to play Moe Berg early on in development. A multilingual pro baseball player, in his time away from the field, Berg secretly moonlighted as an agent for the Office of Strategic Services – hence the title – during the throes of World War II, accepting assignments all across the Caribbean, South America and even mainland Europe.

The latter part of William "Wild Bill" Wellman's distinguished career is a little patchy, as much due to studio interference as anything else, but a fair bit of positive attention has focused on Track of the Cat (1954) a sweaty family melodrama about the hunt for a rapacious wildcat in the snowy wilds near Aspen, daringly filmed in color but with almost no actual color (the snow was crucial here).We've been looking at the wrong film. An almost exact opposite of Track of the Cat exists, one which trades that film's showy ambition for a quieter, but equally radical aesthetic. Where Robert Mitchum and his kin snarl at each other in Track of the Cat, in Good-bye, My Lady all is peaceful between old-timer Walter Brennan and his young nephew Brandon DeWilde (the kid from Shane). Where Track of the Cat uses a daring palette and widescreen compositions, Goodbye, My...

The 1953 musical features Doris Day on whip-crackin’ form and golden tunes, but it can’t be completely reclaimed for progressive politics
Whip-crackin’, gun-totin’, suede outfit-rockin’ Doris Day is back in this hugely enjoyable 1953 musical now on rerelease, playing “Calamity” Jane Cannary (loosely based on the real-life frontierswoman): a gunslinger riding shotgun on the Deadwood stage in wild west Dakota, bringing in the mail and the fancy goods, while spraying the injuns with bullets and flirting with local legend “Wild Bill” Hickok, played by honey-voiced Howard Keel. She journeys to Chicago to persuade a famous singing star to come perform at the local theatre, but instead returns with an impostor, the star’s ambitious maid, Katie Brown (Allyn McLerie). Jane’s tomboyish style, plus the fact that she sets up home with Katie in her shack (with “Calam and Katie” on the front door), recently earned this revival a place...
