Remember the cream cheese-inspired restaurant that served food based on emotions instead of traditional names of dishes? Sure, it was kinda out there, but cream cheese is pretty amazing, so why not? Other combinations have been happening for years, and some of them have taken on a life of their own. Like Doritos and Taco Bell’s longstanding combo. But what if the beloved nacho chip moved beyond that to inspire an entire menu’? Well, get ready for Los Angeles’ Crypto Arena, and their new Doritos menu. Do you like veggie dumplings? Well how would you like them with some Doritos…

It is with a very heavy heart that we report the passing of one of the most talented actresses of the last 70 years, Dame Maggie Smith. The legendary actress took to the stage in the early 1950s when she was just 16 years old, and never looked back. Her career would take her to acclaim, success, and massive fandom with roles in films like “Hook,” the Harry Potter franchise as Professor McGonagall, and on television as Violet Crawley on “Downton Abbey.” To say she will be missed is an understatement. She is one of the few actors whose extraordinary…

Another day, another manufactured controversy. How many times have you looked at a can of Coca-cola or Diet Coke and said to yourself, “Gee golly, I wish I could put my name on that can to personalize it to myself, or if not mine, at least the name of the lord and savior, Jesus!” This has seriously impacted all of our lives, hasn’t it? But what if you couldn’t put “Jesus” on a soda can but you could put “Satan” on there or the names of other gods? Wouldn’t that just be something to get angry about and feel attacked…

About a year and a half ago, Amazon started developing intellectual properties they picked up when they acquired MGM. One of the bigger ones was a holdover from the old Orion Pictures banner that got acquired by MGM when the studio went under in 1999. That property was the part-man, part-machine, Robocop. Amazon recognized the popularity of the franchise, and announced their intention to turn it into a series. After an extended silence, we’re tentatively happy to report on the progress Amazon is making on it. We say “tentative” because, let’s face it, our beloved Alex Murphy/Robocop has had a…

Back in February, people in Glasgow were “treated” to the now infamous Willy Wonka event. The only thing that would’ve made it worse is if it actually killed someone, (it didn’t) instead of just taking their money. There was also the “Bluey” Day event that happened a few months later in Vegas, which also didn’t go well. Since we all presumably know that history repeats itself, one would assume that an unofficial “Bridgerton” themed event would face a similar fate. And oh boy, did it ever. On September 22nd, the people of Michigan were treated to the “Detroit Bridgerton Themed…

How hard can it be to make a decent adaptation of “Resident Evil?” The preeminent survival horror video game franchise has seen its share of ups and downs in terms of game quality, and the same can be said for its journeys into the lands of book, film, and television. Most recently we had 2023’s, CGI film, “Resident Evil: Death Island,” the 2022 live action Netflix series that was cancelled after one season, and the two releases in 2021 of the “Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness” series, and live-action “Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City” theatrical picture. None of these projects…

Despite the name of the game they created, the makers of Cards Against Humanity actually have quite a strong love for humanity itself. This was put on display in 2017 when they bought a chunk of land on the border between the United States and Mexico. Through a crowdfunding effort, the game developing and publishing company purposely bought a piece of border territory solely so that the then presidential administration of Donald Trump couldn’t build a border wall on it. As it turns out, Trump was the least of their worries. Elon Musk on the other hand….let’s just say it’s…

Well, it took about nine months to happen, but what was once expected finally transpired. When “Palworld” was released into open early access in January of 2024, it put the internet and gaming community into a Pokemon-esque frenzy. Why? Because of all the Pokémon type properties to ever emerge, “Palworld” was easily the most brazen in terms of copying elements of the beloved franchise. It quickly got to the point where the gaming community was anticipating Nintendo would file a lawsuit against the “Palworld” developers, Pocketpair. It took about nine months, but Nintendo’s lawyers finally descended. On September 18th, 2024,…

Last year we reported that Aerosmith was going to be wrapping things up with a farewell tour in North America. Titled, Peace Out: The Farwell Tour, it was going to be the swan song for one of rock and roll’s most enduring bands. However, the tour was postponed in September of 2023 due to problems with lead vocalist Stephen Tyler’s vocal cords. It now appears that those problems are too severe to overcome, and Aerosmith is officially retiring. The announcement was made on Aerosmith’s official website and social media to declare that the band was officially going to “retire from…

As the (in)famous video game music track states, “Daytooooonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Let’s go away!” Though I don’t think the singer meant for 15 to 20 years for illegal possession of firearms. If the previous two sentences make you feel like you don’t understand anything at all anymore, that’s okay, we’ll walk you through this odd tale of contraband and arcade cabinets. You may want to pause for this Daytona USA musical interlude first though. That song you may or may not have just listened to is the theme from Sega’s 1994 arcade title, Daytona USA. If you weren’t around at the time,…
