“The Incom T-65 X-wing is the fighter that killed the Death Star.” These words from the video game “Star Wars: Rogue Squadron” solidify how valuable the starfighter is in-universe. In the real world, that ship was part of one of the most memorable scenes in the history of film. The original “Star Wars” was special for a number of reasons, one of them being the startlingly good special effects from the use of miniatures and models. One of those X-wing models, previously thought lost, has set a new record for an item from the film for over $3 million at…

Less than a month ago, the world was treated to the new voice actors who would play the titular characters in “Rick and Morty.” The first episode of season 7th has released, and we know who the actors are. Not only that, but thanks to co-creator Dan Harmon and showrunner Scott Marder, we know how they moved along with the casting process. First, let’s give credit where credit is due. The new voice actor for Rick is Ian Cardoni. The role of Morty is now voiced by Harry Belden. Previously, both characters were played by co-creator Justin Roiland. His termination…

Hollywood is full of stories that run the gamut from inspiring to heartbreaking. When it comes to heartbreaking, there’s few currently as sad as the ongoing health issues Bruce Willis has been facing. The actor reached the end of his career in a way that no person should ever have to face- at the hands of frontotemporal dementia. We already knew that this was something that would only get worse and now we know a bit more about what Willis and his loved ones are going through. Glenn Gordon Caron created the ABC series “Moonlighting” in 1985. The comedy/detective series…

The character of Frasier Crane premiered on television in the fall of 1984, when he was introduced in “Cheers” season 3, episode 1. He remained on the show until it ended in the summer of 1993. His spinoff, “Frasier,” premiered later that same year. So, by the time it ended in mid 2004, the psychiatrist and radio host had been around for 20 years. Since then, he has lived on in syndication, streaming, reruns, DVDs, and the imagination of fans. But now, Frasier Crane has returned. The executive producers of the “Frasier” revival, as well as Kelsey Grammer himself, have…

With the great writer’s strike of 2023 finally resolved, tv shows are beginning to air again. The late night hosts are back at it already, and more programs will be returning in the upcoming weeks. If Drew Barrymore had her way, she would’ve had her show back on the air sooner than that. In a seemingly affront to her writing staff (and the rest of the WGA), she originally planned bring her show back without the writers. This act did not go unforgotten as when Barrymore’s show officially returns, the head co-writers will not be returning with it. Chelsea White,…

It seems so long ago since the writer’s strike happened and eventually ended. When it started back in May of 2023, some shows had not concluded their current season. “Saturday Night Live” was one of those shows. Before season 48 wrapped prematurely, former cast member Pete Davidson was all set to host an episode. Well, that fell apart fast, but now that the strike is over, Pete’s finally getting his chance to host later this month. “SNL” went through a huge transition going into season 48. There was a grand exodus of cast members that were considered staples of the…

There’s a lot that you can say about the Catholic Church, much of which has already been said by hundreds of millions of people over the centuries. Even though the power of the church and the Pope has diminished over the years, His Holiness Pope Francis still holds sways over millions of people across the world. Whether that sway is a good or bad thing is a contentious point. And yet despite being the head of a more conservative institution, Pope Francis is taking aim at something considered a more liberal cause; climate change. On Wednesday, the pontiff released a…

Not every company gets to make its way into the history books. Those that do can enter it in one of two ways that can basically be summed up as “good” or “bad.” Earlier this week, Dish Network is now part of that history, and not in the good way. They’ll now go down in history as the first company to be fined by the FCC for space debris. Dish Network has long been a satellite television provider, one of the largest in the United States. In 2002 they launched their satellite, EchoStar-7. Obviously you can’t just launch satellites into…

It has been a tough road for Toys “R” Us over the last decade or so. Dwindling sales and a failure to keep up with online retailing resulted in the storied chain of toy stores going bankrupt in 2019. All the stores across the United States shut their doors and put the name up for sale. This was pretty crushing to adults who grew up with the store being a part of their childhoods. Fortunately for toy lovers everywhere, things have been picking up over the last couple years for Toys “R” Us, and you may just see them coming…

The journey that Britney Spears has gone on over the last decade and a half has been one that has never been out of the public eye, which is perhaps part of the problem. Ever since her emotional breakdown back in 2007 nearly ever action she’s made has been critiqued to death. Even after the end of her conservatorship in 2021, she’s still being picked apart in the media regarding her wellness. And following a recent video she posted to her Instagram page, the LAPD performed a wellness check on her earlier this week. To set the story here, Spears…
