Unless you specifically lived there, there would be no reason to know about these small Oklahoma city of Chickasha. The same could be said about any number of small towns scattered throughout the United States. But Chickasha actually does have something noteworthy that no other city could really lay claim to. In its downtown area, Chickasha plays home to a 50-ft statue in the shape of the leg lamp made famous in the movie “A Christmas Story.” It’s an iconic prop from an iconic movie and has proved something of a local icon for the small city. Reportedly, many of…

It is with a very heavy heart that we report the passing of one of the greatest actors in the history of Hollywood. Gene Hackman has passed away at his home in New Mexico. The loss is even more emotionally devastating in that Hackman’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, and their dog were also found deceased as well. Local law enforcement has issued a search warrant, due to the deaths being “suspicious enough in nature to require a thorough search and investigation.”A neighbor, concerned about the couple’s wellbeing, called authorities which prompted a wellfare check, leading to the discovery of Hackman, Arakawa, and…

We’re going to be honest with you here, we have no idea what’s going on with the Oscars when it comes to how they’re treating music. Earlier this year, the academy decided they were going to axe the performances for the nominees for Best Original Song. In lieu of this, they stated they would be including, “powerful musical moments that connect film’s rich history to its bold and inspiring future.” You might be wondering, “what the hell does that mean?” We’ve been wondering that too. We still don’t exactly know, but the official X (formerly Twitter) account for the Academy…

Oh, the 1980s. A decade of flash and neon, now represented by grids and synth music. It was a time period that brought us a number of pop culture icons that are still relevant today. Funko is celebrating that colorful decade with a new line of Pop Vinyls and more in their “I Love the ’80s” collection! Where to even start with this line-up. If you like cartoons, they’ve got you covered with “Masters of the Universe,” “Jem and the Holograms,” and “The Real Ghostbusters” for starters. But what if you prefer your cartoons based on greeting card companies? Congrats,…

There are few things more morbidly interesting than accidents at amusement parks. A large part of it is the contrast in circumstances. Rides of all kinds, from roller coasters to bumper cars are supposed to be fun. When something tragic or terrifying happens with one of these rides, the mental dissonance resonates with people. Fortunately, these accidents are rare but they can often result in death or permanent injury. A woman from Arizona found this out in 2022 and she’s just been awarded $7.25 million for what she went through. Pamela Morrison was visiting Universal Studios Hollywood with her grandson…

It’s hard to know where to start sometimes when it comes to the decisions being made by Warner Bros. Discovery. This is a company that was willing to scrap a fully completed “Batgirl” film for the sake of a tax write-off but also let an absolutely disastrous game get released in the form of “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.” The latter of these is especially worth talking about now because it was an indication of how out of touch Warner Bros. games division was with reality. That situation has not improved as the years of work put into an…

Pancakes; the breakfast staple that is so popular a restaurant chain put it right in their name. The International House of Pancakes isn’t exactly the healthiest place to eat but when you want a variety of pancakes and syrup, you can’t beat the IHOP. Unless you worked there you probably would have a hard time guessing how many pancakes they serve in an 8-hour shift. We can’t say we know either, but we do know the restaurant is looking to set a world record for it on Saturday, March 1st. You may know that March 4th is National Pancake Day.…

As the old adage goes, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Fyre Fest, the clusterf*** of a non-event that happened in 2017 was so bad it landed its founder in prison for fraud. Billy McFarland promised a musical festival on an island retreat with big names, fun times, and an overall unforgettable experience. But the names cancelled or never showed, the times were more hazardous than fun, and you better believe we’ll never forget it. That same convicted felon who did the first event is prepping for a second. That’s right, McFarland has announced…

The Wayans family. Shawn, Marlon, Keenan Ivory, Damon, Kim; the family tree goes on and on. With that many members and that much talent, it’s not surprising they’d be behind comedy staples like “In Living Color,” “The Wayans Brothers,” 2 “Scary Movie” films, and cult classic, “Don’t be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.”And then there’s “”White Chicks,”…which is apparently getting a sequel. It’s hard to believe that this June, it’ll have been 21 years since “White Chicks” debuted in theaters. The film, directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans was also written by him and…

Usually, the worst thing a person has to worry about from a bird flying over you is being crapped on. You’re just trying to relax, get your life together, and then a bird poops on you. C’est la vie, right? It’s not the worst thing that could happen, and there are even some cultures that say it’s good luck. It’s not like the bird was carrying human remains and just dropped an entire human hand on you! That’s not going to happen. Except….it did. In a schoolyard in Ireland. On February 21st, a CCTV camera caught footage of a human…
