I like having New Year’s resolutions because you can just make them up as you go — sort of like the CDC rules on COVID. Get this: Mercedes just unveiled a new concept car that’s made from sustainable materials like mushrooms, cacti and food scraps. If you thought Tesla owners were annoying, just wait for the guy whose electric car is also vegan.
Diagnosed with Neuropathy?
Gabapentin or Lyrica Not Working?
OUR TREATMENTS CORRECT THE CAUSE, NOT MERELY MASK THE SYMPTOMS.
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects nearly 20 million Americans. It usually begins in the lower legs, feet and toes, but over time, can advance into the hands and fingers. In the past, the only treatment available has been oral medications and injections, both of which have provided little or no relief.
We utilize several safe, effective and natural therapies that have helped people get relief of most, if not all, of their symptoms...even diabetics. Our treatment program has a high degree of lasting success as long as nerve damage doesn’t reach critical levels. Usually, once nerve damage reaches 85%, nothing can be done.
Call NOW to schedule a FREE neuropathy severity exam and let one of our doctors determine how much nerve damage you have and if our treatment program will work for you!

Ghostbusters: Afterlife
Thirty-two years after the defeat of Vigo the Carpathian, the Ghostbusters have disbanded due to a decrease in paranormal activity in New York City. One former Ghostbuster relocates to Oklahoma and soon finds himself struggling to contain an entity related to a mine run by occultist Ivo Shandor (Simmons). It proves to be too much for the man, however, and he eventually suffers a fatal heart attack, prompting his estranged daughter, Callie (Coon), and her two children, Trevor (Wolfhard) and Phoebe (Grace), to move into his now vacant farmhouse.

CHANNEL GUIDE
WHAT’S NEW ON PRIME “Reacher” - Season 1
Get a shot at redemption with the new thriller series “Reacher,” premiering on Prime on Friday, Feb. 4. Based on the hit series of books by Lee Child, this first installation of “Reacher” follows the plot of the book series’ first novel, “Killing Floor,” which debuted in 1997. With a penchant for wandering wherever he wills and following no one’s rules but his own, former U.S. Army Maj. Jack Reacher’s (Alan Ritchson, “Titans”) life is as wild as he is strong. When Reacher is arrested for murder, his impeccable military record, impressive size and quick wit are the only things that can get him out of trouble. Now recruited to help the police solve a case wrapped in corruption, it’s up to Reacher to unravel the sinister plot and take them all down. Directed by Lin Oeding (“Braven,” 2018), the series is written by Child and “Scorpion’s” Scott Sullivan, Aadrita Mukerji and Nick Santora. “Reacher” also stars Malcolm Goodwin (“American Gangster,” 2007), Willa Fitzgerald (“Little Women,” 2017), Kristen Kreuk (“Smallville”), Bruce McGill (“Law Abiding Citizen,” 2009), Chris Webster (“Most Dangerous Game”), Maxwell Jenkins (“Lost in Space”), Harvey Guillén (“What We Do in the Shadows”), Currie Graham (“The Rookie”), Marc Bendavid (“Dark Matter”), Willie C. Carpenter (“Men in Black,” 1997) and A.J. Simmons (“Slasher”).
“Book of Love” (2022)
It’s a love story that writes itself, out just in time for Valentine’s Day. The new romantic comedy “Book of Love” premieres Friday, Feb. 4, on Prime. Down on his luck and running out of inspiration, English author Henry (Sam Claflin, “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” 2013) discovers that his dull, failing novel has gained wild popularity in Mexico. As it turns out, his novel’s success is entirely due to the Mexican translator, Maria (Verónica Echegui, “Trust”), taking creative liberties with his work, turning it into an erotic thriller. Thrown together on a book tour across Mexico together, these two vastly different writers find that opposites really do attract.
From director Analeine Cal y Mayor (“Treading Water,” 2013), the script is penned by Cal y Mayor and David Quantick (“Veep”). Antonia Clarke
(“Les Misérables,” 2012), Horacio Garcia Rojas (“Cry Macho,” 2021), Giovani Florido (“The Envoys”), Edwarda Gurrola (“Fireflies,” 2018), Melissa Pino (“Losing in Love,” 2016) and Galya Vidal (“The Girlfriend Experience,” 2009) also star in the film.
WHAT’S NEW ON APPLE TV+ “Suspicion” - Season 1
Get your heart pounding with the new Apple TV+ thriller drama “Suspicion” when it premieres Friday, Feb. 4, on the streaming platform. This fast-paced, eight-episode season begins when American businesswoman Katherine Newman’s (Uma Thurman, “Kill Bill: Vol. 1,” 2003) 21-year-old son (Gerran Howell, “1917,” 2019) is kidnapped from a large hotel in New York City. The abduction is captured on video and quickly goes viral, with four seemingly normal British citizens who were staying at the hotel quickly becoming the prime suspects. Strapped for time, the Brits go on a desperate race to prove their innocence. Based on the Israeli series “False Flag,” which ran from 2015-18, this new take comes from producer and director Chris Long (“The Americans”), director Stefan Schwartz (“Fear the Walking Dead”) and writer Rob Williams (“The Victim”). The series also stars Elizabeth Henstridge (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”), Elyes Gabel (“World War Z,” 2013), Kunal Nayyar (“The Big Bang Theory”), Georgina Campbell (“Broadchurch”), Tom Rhys Harries (“Hunky Dory,” 2011), Ross McCall (“White Collar”) and Alex Heath (“Boiling Point,” 2021).
WHAT’S NEW ON HBO MAX
“Raised by Wolves” - Season 2 Mother and Father are back and willing to sacrifice everything in the fan-favorite sci-fi series “Raised by Wolves,” making its return to HBO Max with its second season on Thursday, Feb. 3. Season 1 welcomed audiences into a world set in a distant future, where Earth has been completely decimated by religious war. When two androids, aptly named Mother (Amanda Collin, “A Horrible Woman,” 2017) and Father (Abubakar Salim, “Jamestown”), are sent to a mysterious planet named Keppler 22 b to raise six human children, they discover that the planet they thought was deserted and harmless is actually rife with monsters and religious fanatics who will stop at nothing to take the human children away from them. Heading into Season 2, Mother, Father and their children head to the planet’s mysterious tropical zone to join an atheistic colony, but finding their way in this new society is only the start of their troubles. From creator and writer Aaron Guzikowski (“Prisoners,” 2013), the series is directed by Luke Scott (“Morgan,” 2016), Alex Gabassi (“The ABC Murders”), Sergio Mimica-Gezzan (“Medici”), Ridley Scott (“The Martian,” 2015) and James Hawes (“Doctor Who”). Travis Fimmel (“Vikings”), Winta McGrath (“Doctor Doctor”), Niamh Algar (“Wrath of Man,” 2021), Jordan Loughran (“The Infiltrator,” 2016), Felix Jamieson (“The Ghost,” 2018), Ethan Hazzard (“The Dare,” 2019), Aasiya Shah (“The Beast Must Die”), Ivy Wong
(“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story,” 2016) and Matias Varela (“Narcos”) return to the cast for Season 2, alongside new cast members Peter Christoffersen (“When the Dust Settles”), newcomer Selina Jones, Morgan Santo (“The Watch”), James Harkness (“Spencer,” 2021), Kim Engelbrecht (“Eye in the Sky,” 2015) and Jennifer Saayeng (“The Capture”).
WHAT’S NEW ON HULU
“Pam & Tommy”
Jump into the “Greatest love story ever sold” (per the official tagline) with the new biopic series “Pam & Tommy,” making its debut on Hulu on Wednesday, Feb. 2. In the mid1990s, Canadian model/actress Pamela Anderson and Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee’s whirlwind romance took the pop culture world by storm. Getting married af-
ter knowing each other a mere four days in 1995, the pair’s already impressive fame skyrocketed to new levels when a sex tape they recorded on their honeymoon was stolen and distributed by the public.
