Akram Hosny's Hilarious Playbook for Losing a Football Match in El Captain!
To ensure the corrupt football team Markaz Shabab Kafr Moanad loses its next match, Captain Hossam (played by Akram Hosny) comes up with a unique strategy to make sure the team is either unable to play or guaranteed to lose. This fulfills the first request of the spirit of Captain Ihab Nasr (Omar Sharqi). Here are the golden rules Akram Hosny gave the team: • Forget everything you ever learned about football and start from scratch. • Training breaks should last nine hours. • Love what you do—so you can fail at what you love and do. • The striker must touch the ball with his hand inside the competitor's penalty area. • Aged Roumy cheese should be placed in the corners and the penalty box to get rid of VAR. • The playing tactics? 5-6-4 using the Tic-Tac-Tok strategy. • The pre-match meal: a bomb (spicy dish) and a fatty meat mix. • No carbs, no water, no bread allowed. • No fixed schedules for waking up or training. • A long night out before match day is a must. About El Captain In the series, Akram Hosny plays Captain Hossam Ezz El-Din, a pilot whose plane crashes during a flight. After waking up from a long coma, he starts encountering the spirits of passengers who were on board. They demand that he complete their unfinished business to free their trapped souls. The series El Captain consists of 15 episodes and stars Akram Hosny, Aya Samaha, Sawsan Badr, Ahmed Abdel Wahab, Rahma Ahmed Farag, Mimi Gamal, Mohamed Radwan, Sami Maghawry, Ahmed El-Rafei, Omar Sharqi, and Weam Magdy. Written by Ayman El-Shayeb and scripted by Amr El-Daly, the show is directed by Moataz El-Tony and produced by Karim Abu Zekry. The series airs daily at 9:45 PM on Watch It and DMC channels.

Saatoh W Tarikhuh: Egyptian TV series unveiling real crime cases - Screens - Arts & Culture
Saatoh W Tarikhuh, an Egyptian TV series, is the first of its kind to reveal real crime cases that occurred within the 21st century. The crime series' first season debuted in December 2024, and its second season began this February. The events of each episode are real cases with different names and some changes in events, some of which may be familiar to the audience because they are cause célèbre. Every episode features a new crime, showcasing the motive and background of the incident in which the crime took place. The episode concludes with the ruling issued by the Egyptian court against the perpetrator in each case. Several crimes revealed include contemporary ones that some Egyptians have witnessed, such as sexual harassment, blackmailing, and the dangers of the dark web. Other crimes featured are domestic abuse, illegal archaeological excavation, murder, robbery, and quackery. Each 30- to 40-minute episode is filmed in almost one setting, focusing on dull lighting. This invites the audience to connect with the characters and understand the narrative through direct dialogue and intense emotions. Saatoh W Tarikhuh is the brainchild of director Amr Salama and is generally directed by him and written by Mahmoud Ezzat. The series' team of directors rotates between episodes and consists of Ahmed Adel, Amr Mousa, Ahmed Sobhy, Adel Yehia, Amira Diab, and others. The scriptwriters include Dina Maher, Seif Konsowa, Reem Nehad, Engy Shoukry, Asser Ahmed, Ahmed Samir, and Hoda El-Ghorab. The TV series stars several actors from the reality show Casting (2024), showcasing emerging talents and preparing them for their acting careers. Casting was under Salama's supervision, and the chosen talents were granted roles in one of his future works. The featured talents are Eslam Khaled, Salma Abdelkareem, Omneya Bahy, and Mariam Karam. Other actors include Mayan El-Sayed, Ahmed Amin, Heba Magdy, Yasmine El-Abd, Soliman Eid, Diab, Arwa Gouda, Esaad Younis, and Ahmed Dash.
