Tell me you’ve watched “The Abyss” too many times without actually telling me you’ve seen “The Abyss?” If you haven’t seen the classic 1989 James Cameron film, you’re missing out. It culminates with the discovery of an advanced alien race living deep under Earth’s ocean. We’re not saying a certain representative from Tennessee has seen this film, but he seems to have come to the same conclusion. Rep. Tim Burchett has long been sounding a conspiratorial horn regarding the existence of aliens and government cover ups. Burchett appeared on disgraced former congressman Matt Gaetz’s program earlier this week. On the…

Back in 2023, a lawsuit was filed that had the potential to cost Paramount $200 million. Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming platform, Max, had paid a large chunk of money for the streaming rights to “South Park.” Not only would they get the back catalog of episodes, but exclusive streaming rights for what was then the upcoming seasons of 24, 25, and 26. Seems pretty simple, except it’s not. It gets pretty complicated pretty fast and resulted in Warner Bros. Discovery filing a lawsuit against Paramount for breach of contract. We already reported on what led up to this, but we’ll…
When we found out Walmart was carrying pizza ice cream, we bought some. We ate it. We didn’t 100% regret it, but we weren’t exactly overwhelmed either. It’s not that it was awful, it just seemed completely unnecessary. We’re not sure if we’d feel the exact same way about this latest food that exists but shouldn’t, as Totino’s is teaming up with Cinnamon Toast Crunch for cereal. The new flavor is a limited time thing, and is being promoted as a mashup between flavors. Or as Totino’s and General Mills is calling it, “a winning combination.” That is definitely one…
Well, it’s about damn time! “The Toxic Avenger” is one of the most beloved and successful films in the Troma Entertainment canon. The darkly humorous, over the top violent, superhero, vigilante b-movie was responsible for a number of sequels and an early 90s cartoon series. We can’t be the only ones who still remember “Toxic Crusaders,” right? Well, as the franchise lay dormant for years. But then a reboot starring Peter Dinklage in the titular role was released in 2023. There was hype, and then it seemingly disappeared. Now, like Toxie himself, it’s rising back up! “The Toxic Avenger” originally…
President of the United States and convicted felon Donald Trump made a flurry of announcements and proposals in his first full day in office. One caught our interest- a $500 billion AI thing he’s calling “Project Stargate.” It’s a complicated topic, with ramifications that are pretty far reaching across the board. The subject of AI is a tricky one since the technology can be used for a number of reasons in a number of industries. The name, Project Stargate, is particularly ironic considering “Stargate” is the name of a 1994 science-fiction film and subsequent franchise of television series. One of…
David Lynch had a sense of creativity and wonder that influenced, inspired, and confounded millions. Ten people could watch “Mulholland Drive” and come away with ten different interpretations. Millions have watched “Twin Peaks,” and the meaning, symbolism, and story are still discussed and debated to this day. We were blessed to have the late auteur’s work, which is why it’s another punch to the gut to find out he was developing a series for Netflix before he passed away. Co-CEO of Netflix Ted Sarandos shared his Lynch story. He said he met Lynch during the early days of Netflix. They…
“Frasier” fans have a reason to cry or rejoice today, depending on how you look at things. We reviewed the revival of the beloved sitcom back in October of 2023. We didn’t have positive things to say about it. It was a mess of rehashed ideas and storylines with weak characters and jokes that lacked the sophistication of the original series. As we noted when “Frasier” had its first series finale in season 11, it was running on fumes. Whatever steam it may have mustered for its revival seems to have petered out as Paramount+ will not be continuing with…
We’ve presented a few articles about drug fueled animals before. That’s not a sentence that you really think about typing, but here we are. There have been cocaine cats, sharks, and hippos. A lot of animals will eat just about anything, whether it’s good for them or not. One of the more persistent little critters guilty of that is the rat. Sure, they can be cute and helpful in lab experiments, but they also can get into almost any nook or cranny imaginable. This can be a problem when it comes to food pantries or you know, evidence warehouses where…
Convicted felon (on 34 counts) Donald Trump will be retaking the office of the President of the United States of America on January 20th. Ahead of his inauguration, he has been making a number of cabinet announcements. One of them has everyone truly puzzled- appointing “special ambassadors” to Hollywood. “It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” Trump announced on his Truth Social account. “They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much…
Los Angeles is still reeling from an unprecedented windstorm and dry conditions that lead to multiple devastating wildfires ravaging the area. Firefighters and first responders continue to try and contain the fires and while the situation is improving, the danger is not over. Additionally, the cleanup, repair, and rebuilding efforts will be extensive. In times of great tragedy, charity tends to rise up to help bring hope to others. One of those bits of hope is coming together in the form of a concert called FireAid. On January 30th, number of artists and bands will perform at a benefit concert.…
