When you work as an entertainment writer, you end up covering a lot of casting choice news. Some entirely fitting, some bizarre. We have to tell you though, this one is about as unexpected as it gets, but possibly in the best possible way. Yesterday, it was announced that legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg has cast the also legendary filmmaker (in an entirely different way) David Lynch as an actor in his upcoming autobiographical feature “The Fabelmans.” Spielberg likely needs no introduction to anyone reading this. But maybe David Lynch does, especially if he’s being cast in a Spielberg movie. If…

As immensely popular and ubiquitous as the Marvel Cinematic Universe is, at least there are a lot of different heroes to follow. As much as Iron Man and Robert Downey Jr. were the biggest figures in the franchise as a whole, the character’s place in popular culture has arguably not been overused. No one really talks heavily about the Iron Man comic series, there’s no television series that focuses on the hero either. There was an animated cartoon from back in 1994 and a young Tony Stark version in 2008. Aside from “Iron Man VR” in 2020, we haven’t even…

It’s very hard to stay neutral when dealing with the rampant stupidity, bias, ignorance, and manufactured controversies being spat out by Fox News. There’s no shortage of things to point out about how perverse their agenda is when it comes to them wanting to try and show that liberals are somehow ruining the country. Meanwhile, pundits like Tucker Carlson sow seeds of hatred and dissent, defending insurrectionists and casting doubt on the scientific community in the middle of a pandemic. Fox News is accusing Minnie Mouse of ripping the societal fabric. It wasn’t more than a few days before this…

Neil Young is a legend in the world of folk, rock, and music in general. In the world of Spotify however, it would appear that Joe Rogan outranks the “Godfather of Grunge.” Following an ultimatum from Young earlier this week, the streaming music and podcast giant has decided to delist his music rather than follow Young’s request to address the vaccine misinformation being spewed by the podcast host. On Monday January 24th, Young wrote a letter to his manager and an executive at Warner Music, insisting that his music be pulled from Spotify due to Rogan’s podcast, “The Joe Rogan…

Scammers will have one more obstacle to overcome if they want to try and pass off fraudulent Pokémon cards now. Online auction house eBay has decided to implement a mandatory authentication system for the sale of ungraded trading cards, as long as the value of the purchase is over $750.00. The hope is to create a better sense of trust and security in purchases as the frequency and value of trading card purchases has risen during the pandemic. It’s probably not a coincidence that this policy has come into play not long after Logan Paul spent $3.5 million for an…

The internet is a weird place; so is Canada. So when an image is posted online that purports to be coming from the great white north, and seems to be really peculiar, how do you know if it’s real or not? Through the wonders of editing you could make all sorts of weird road signs. But what about a sign that warns you not to let moose lick your car? Is that a real thing? If so, why? Let’s find out. In November of 2020, Twitter user Carolyn Campbell posted the following: It seems absurd, but it is Canada we’re…

More fun than a barrel full of monkeys, or so the saying goes. But what about a truck full of lab monkeys, how fun is that? Well, for the area of Danville, Pennsylvania, apparently it’s not much fun at all. Things got a little out of hand when a truck transporting 100 monkeys to a lab was involved in a crash with a dump truck. Some of the monkeys escaped into the surrounding area. Unfortunately, things didn’t end too well for them. On Friday, January 21st, an accident occurred at the junction of Route 54 and Interstate 80 near the…

The Mighty Ducks are ready to fly again, even though it won’t be with Coach Gordon Bombay and the flying-v this time. 2021 Disney+ series “The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” was successful enough that the streaming platform decided to renew it for a second season. One of its main draws was how it brought back Emilio Estevez to reprise his role as Coach Bombay alongside some of the original members of the Ducks team. Though we already knew that Estevez has been benched, we didn’t know who would be replacing him until now. In November of 2021, we reported Disney+…

We take a deep dive into the musical legacies of the late Jim Steinman, and recently departed operatic rock singer Meat Loaf.

Sometimes naming things is hard. If you need proof, just look around in your own life and think of all the people you know who gave their kids or pets absolutely terrible names. And don’t pretend like you don’t know anyone who’s done that, we all do; yes I’m referring to you Steve. That’s right, I know you’re reading this and we both know giving your kid the first name of Duran, and the middle name of Duran, was an awful idea. [Editor’s Note: I dunno, that sounds pretty awesome, honestly.]Anyway, some scientists named a nematode after actor Jeff Daniels.…
