All good things must come to an end, including good television programs. Far too often, we see shows run for longer than they should. The end result is something that’s either a serious letdown or a shell of its former self. That’s why some of the best remembered and well-regarded shows had fairly definitive endpoints after not running for too long. “Breaking Bad” had five seasons, so did “The Wire.” “The Sopranos” was close to that with six, and “Mad Men” and “The Shield” have seven. Sure, there are exceptions to the rule, but everything has to have a natural…

If there is any major video game developer who could use a win right now, it’s Ubisoft. The company that’s brought you franchises such as pretty much anything with Tom Clancy’s name on it, Just Dance, Rayman, and Prince of Persia has been hurting something fierce lately. We recently reported on the company laying off unionized workers and canceling its Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, in addition to several other games. These are not reassuring signs for any game company, especially during an economic environment of uncertainty, chip shortages, and console price hikes. Maybe that’s why they finally…

There aren’t many living figures in alternative rock with histories as complicated as Courtney Love’s. The former frontwoman of Hole and wife of Kurt Cobain went through a period in the mid 90s of drugs, love, death, success, public scrutiny, and motherhood. Somehow, she managed to come out from under it all while also delivering some banger albums with her band. It’s been a fair bit since we’ve heard anything musically from Hole or Love herself, but she might be teasing something with the potential to get fans excited. Whenever two former bandmembers get together in the same place at…

To what end do people have a right to privacy? It’s an issue that has popped up numerous times in Supreme Court cases, Constitutional Law, workplace monitoring, and police footage. It’s the latter of these that is being brought up in court by Justin Timberlake. The singer would like the public to forget he was arrested in 2024 for driving under the influence of alcohol. There’s plenty of footage of that arrest that media outlets would like to get their hands on. Timberlake and his legal team are filing an injunction to stop that. Caught on Camera To be fair,…

The old adage states, “the fruit doesn’t fall very far from the tree.” Oftentimes, that’s true, but there are always exceptions to that rule. Now, that might not be fair to people like Chet Hanks, son of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, because no one should feel obligated to be like their parents. Everyone is entitled to live their own life and be their own person. But when that own person goes on anti-vaccination rants and releases a hip-hop track called “White Boy Summer,” you open yourself up to some criticism. We don’t know what Chet Hanks’ life is like,…

In what could be described as a shocking reversal of expectations, Netflix has dropped out of the bidding to acquire Warner Bros. This is not what was expected by industry insiders, Netflix themselves, or practically anyone for that matter. Just to show how much Netflix was counting on this, they sent out a mass email to subscribers on December 6th 2025. It stated they were acquiring Warner Bros. and hyping up the addition of WB intellectual properties to their catalog. So, what happened? How Paramount Skydance Outbid Netflix The world of mergers and acquisitions is a complicated one. When Warner…

In 2017, video game developer and publisher, Electronic Arts opened Pandora’s box with their title, Star Wars Battlefront II. The game went so overboard on microtransactions and loot box purchases that it blew up their deal with Disney. They wanted exclusive Star Wars titles and brought legal scrutiny down upon the entire industry. The “loot box” controversy still resonates today almost ten years later. Now it’s taking shape in the form of a lawsuit being filed by the attorney general of New York State against another video game titan, Valve. Why New York Says Loot Boxes Are Gambling New York…

There’s an old adage that states, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.” In other words, if something makes enough noise or fuss, it gets favorable treatment. Sometimes that backfires and the squeaky wheel gets hated and held in contempt, but Burger King didn’t see it that way when it came to people having issues with the Whopper. Now, for the first time in 10 years it’s getting some revisions. What’s Changing in the New Whopper? Hamburgers are deceptively complex in their apparently simplicity. It should be easy, right? You take a disc shaped patty of beef, put it between two…

Serious allegations have been made regarding actor Crispin Glover. What the Lawsuit Claims On Wednesday, February 25th, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of California alleging that Glover groomed a woman, lured her into his home, and used her effectively as a maid and a sex slave. Included within these allegations are mentions of physical abuse, emotional abuse, controlling behavior, and abandonment. The name of the woman is being withheld but she reportedly began associating with Glover over social media since 2015. In 2023 they met in Germany where allegedly, Glover showed her items from his Nazi collection.…

Licensing agreements are the devil’s handshake. They are responsible for giving us and taking away from us, a number of games, music tracks, streaming programs, and so much more. Case in point, the X-Men arcade game from 1992. For years it was confined to arcades but eventually made its way to home consoles in 2010 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 digital store fronts. Then in 2013 it was delisted. But it’s coming back again with several other games in an upcoming collection! The Marvel Maximum Collection is an interesting assortment of Marvel related titles from the early to mid…
