Oh, what fun

"Mingle All the Way" has no connection to the 1996 comedy "Jingle All the Way," shot largely in the Twin Cities. But while this holiday film about the joys of dating apps doesn't feature an appearance from the Terminator, pop culture fans should keep an eye out for "The Bionic Woman's" Lindsay Wagner in a supporting role.

Fascinating rhythm

Tony Bennett and Diana Krall can each be electric in concert, but they appeared to be all business while making "Tony Bennett & Diana Krall: Love Is Here to Stay." Watching them put together the album can be a little dull, but the stories they share about their fondness for each other — and songwriters George and Ira Gershwin — are s'wonderful.

The thunder rolls

Garth Brooks' concerts at Target Center are legendary, but the country music legend's stops in Minnesota are infrequent. Local fans will have to settle for "Garth: Live at Notre Dame!" The first live concert ever held in the university's football stadium, the Oct. 20 show included two Bob Seger covers, but it's unclear whether those songs made the broadcast cut.
