Today's Challenge: It’s 4/4 and Robert Downey Jr. and Barry Pepper both have a birthday today. So get ready to party by finding the movie connection that links these two actors. But if partying with Robert Downey Jr. is too much for you, stay home tonight and watch the encore of the first two parts of The Kennedys, starring birthday boy Barry Pepper.
Our first Facebook movie game, ClusterFlick, plays off that old "six degrees of separation" theory — you know, the one that has a certain Kevin at the center of the Hollywood universe. It's easy to play, but not so easy to win. The goal is to use the major cast of movies to get from Point A to Point B in the smallest number of moves.

Greg Kinnear and Barry Pepper play the iconic brothers Bobby and Jack Kennedy in The Kennedys, premiering tonight on ReelzChannel. But it was almost two performances that audiences almost did not see.
Kinnear and Pepper both opened up about the prospect of their performances almost not getting seen after The History Channel decided not the air the in the eight-part movie. Kinnear talked to EW about what he knew about the reasons behind the controversy.
I was surprised of course but over time I read the same stuff everybody else had. I had confidence it would find a home. Honestly, not to sound glib, I’m not sure that I cared. At this point, it’s after the fact. Even if someone tells me, that would be one’s person’s version and I’m sure there are many versions. It happened. Life moves on.
