The fascination with the British Royal Family is never-ending. For all the buzz that surrounds Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, that’s nothing new. There was a lot of discourse around Prince William and Kate Middleton. Then, of course, there was Princess Diana, the mother of Harry and William. Next year will be 30 years since her passing. There’s going to be a new documentary called Diana Unheard coming out about her that features previously unreleased audio recordings. But I want to use this opportunity to turn this into a recollection of the impact Diana had on the people I grew…

The fall of 1996 graced the world with the Nintendo 64. It was the Big N’s next step up from the Super Nintendo. Anticipation was understandably high. The Super Nintendo was iconic. It had gone to war with the Sega Genesis and won. But gaming was evolving into the 3D space. The PlayStation was already on the market, and the CD technology was making huge changes to how games were developed. The Nintendo 64 was going to be a cartridge-based system. How was that going to stack up against what Sony was offering with the PSX? Let’s take a look…

“I am the terror that flaps in the night! I’m the hair in the lens of your projector! I am Darkwing Duck!” Many variants of this catchphrase were uttered across 91 episodes of the classic ’90s cartoon, Darkwing Duck. The fifth official entry in The Disney Afternoon line-up captured the imagination of many a kid. As Drake Mallard by day and crimefighter by night, the beaked superhero even gave us another catchphrase, “let’s get dangerous!” Or about as dangerous as you could get for a kids’ cartoon. And while he did reappear to a degree in the DuckTales revival, we…

There are certain experiences that are common to almost every American. Taxes, commercials, PBS telethons; you get the picture. Some of these experiences become memories that get stored in the recesses of the mind. It doesn’t take much to trigger an unlock of these. And when it happens, the memories come rushing back in. If you need an example, just look at this blue cookie tin. Grandma’s Famous Blue Cookie Tin Yeah, that’s right. You recognize it, and you know it from the depths of your childhood. It’s the tin of Grandma’s cookies. The ones that were always there whenever…

In 1996, the teen slasher horror genre was revitalized. All it took was one movie and one word: Scream. The Wes Craven-directed film became a smash hit. The script, written by the would-be Dawson’s Creek creator, Kevin Williamson, was revolutionary. It was a deconstruction of horror tropes and clichés. Just as much as it was a legitimate thriller. The series is continuing on thirty years later with more films and a lasting pop culture impression. It’s even finding its way into commercial parodies. The opening scene of Scream is iconic. It features Drew Barrymore going about her evening when she…

Well, there’s a plot twist we didn’t see coming, but that’s Robert Eggers for you. The man has directed four feature films so far, with a fifth due this year. The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, Nosferatu, and the upcoming Werwulf. With that track record, you might predict his next film to be something offbeat. Maybe horror, but not necessarily in that genre. After all, The Lighthouse and The Northman weren’t horror and were just unique. Still, we didn’t think the works of William Shakespeare were in the cards. Yet here we are with Romeo & Juliet being the next…

Marketing and advertising are tricky beasts to tame. We’ve seen a massive amount of ads on social media. Instagram, YouTube, TikTok- all of it. Ads everywhere! It’s absolutely unending. HatLaunch has seen their efforts on this front not pay off quite the way they wanted. So they’ve decided to mix things up with a Used Hot Dogs campaign, website, NASCAR track, and former driver Kenny Wallace. Sound weird? It might be, but it’s actually pretty ingenious and noble. HatLaunch & New Marketing The company, HatLaunch, well, sells hats. Custom hats and apparel, really. They’ve been around for around eight years.…

Matt Murdock literally did not see this one coming. For that matter, neither did we, and we weren’t blinded by a chemical spill. Despite the critical success Disney has had with Daredevil: Born Again, it’s being killed off, again. The upcoming season three will be the last for the show. What’s Happening at Disney? We’re not sure what’s going on over at the house of Marvel and Mouse. It doesn’t seem good, though. We’ve previously discussed how they seem to be horribly managing their content lately. Especially when it comes to superhero material. Kevin Feige opened up about how they…

This article will discuss the topic of suicide. If you or someone you know is experiencing a crisis or may try to harm themselves, call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. There are very, VERY few actors who are held up in as high regard as Robin Williams. Even 12 years after his death, he’s still beloved, missed, and prominently featured online. His brand of high-spirited comedy, his love of video games, his fondness for anime, his charity work, and all the many roles he took on in film and television. There is a substantial amount…

Some people are connoisseurs of bad films. I’m not quite at that level. I do, however, enjoy seeing just how bad certain movies are. Especially when it comes to major motion pictures. A bad independent movie is understandable. A group of people makes a film, it doesn’t turn out great, but that’s that. When it’s a major studio release, though, it means so much more to be awful. It means people had to sign off on this thing. They all had to look at it and say, “Yeah, this is good! We need to put this into theaters!” It makes…
