Ticketmaster. If there were a “Family Feud” question about companies you can’t find anything nice to say about, they’d probably be the top answer. Especially among the Swifties. The live event ticket retailer is in hot water with the Mexican government, thanks to allegedly overselling tickets. Puerto Rican superstar rapper Bad Bunny was set to perform in Mexico City on December 9th. The venue, Estadio Azteca, has seating capacity of over 85,000 and was completely sold out. Imagine going to the venue with your Ticketmaster purchase, only to find out that you’re not allowed into the venue because your seat…

Oh boy! In a bit of unexpected television news, a blast from the past seems to have secured a place in its own future for at least another year. Given how long its been since “Quantum Leap” left the airwaves, on a cliffhanger, in 1993, one could safely there wasn’t a tremendous amount of expectation for a 2022 revival.After all, this series wouldn’t feature Scott Bakula as Dr. Sam Beckett, nor would it have the late, great, Dean Stockwell as his buddy Al. Despite this, the newest version is “Quantum Leap” is leaping into season two. Despite being in the…

If there is one thing for sure we’ve learned about Warner Bros. since its merger with Discovery, it’s that nothing is safe. Under the rein of David Zaslav, President and CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, a fair number of shocking measures have been taken in order to cut costs and reshape a number of things under their corporate umbrella. We’ve seen CNN+ get canned, “Batgirl” shelved, and various Adult Swim programs get pulled from HBO Max. Perhaps you thought “well some animated shows getting removed from HBO Max isn’t such a big deal.” Well those cuts just got a lot…

There have been a number of reports in the news surrounding the collapse of cryptocurrency provider FTX. After declaring bankruptcy in November of 2022, a number of potential legal questions arose about how the company collapsed so quickly. This isn’t the first big company to go from soaring profits to becoming financially destitute. (See: the history of Enron.) As is often the case, when something goes so bad so quickly, there’s often some potentially illegal activity going on behind the scenes. Sam Bankman-Fried is the 30 year old founder of FTX, and up until the collapse of the company, was…

One of the biggest gaming stories of 2022 broke near the start of the year. Microsoft made a bid to acquire the gaming juggernaut that is Activision/Blizzard. The purchase, worth over $68 billion, would put gaming franchises such as “Call of Duty,” “Diablo,” “Overwatch,” and others under the auspices of Microsoft. Like with all major corporate mergers or acquisitions, government approval needs to be issued. Almost a year after the news broke, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is aiming to stop the purchase from happening. In the United States in order for mergers or corporate acquisitions to occur, two governmental…

Disney has been accused over the years of stealing from various sources for their productions. If you want to go down a rabbit hole, just do a Google search for “The Lion King” and “Kimba the White Lion,” and have yourself a time. But if there’s one legal avenue that’s more frustrating and confusing than copyrights, it’s patent laws. That’s where Disney finds themselves in hot water again, this time due to allegations the Genie app is violating a patent held by Agile Journeys. So the first question probably is “what is Genie?” In short, the Genie app helps you…

Holiday traditions can be wonderful things. Sometimes all it takes is the sight, sense, and taste of gingerbread or candy canes to recall pleasant memories. For some, it’s not food that brings back these thoughts but a nice, holiday beverage. Of course, we’re talking about eggnog. That often, but not always, potent-potable that adds a little something to your festivities. Of course, egg is a part of that concoction. But what about a Hellmann’s Mayo Mayonog? Wait. What? In theory, this idea seems like it could hold water, or “nog” in this case. After all, what is mayonnaise except a…

We may have said this a few times before, but we love “Frasier.” We’ve covered the news of the upcoming revival quite a bit. In the months since it was first announced, few details have trickled out. One of the questions surrounding the revival was whether or not beloved characters Niles (David Hyde-Pierce), Roz (Peri Gilpin), and Daphne (Jane Leeves) would return. Along with Martin, played by the late John Mahoney, these characters were the backbone that supported Frasier in nearly every episode. Well, we know the answer to that question, and “Frasier” fans will not be happy. Kelsey Grammer…

When the news broke in October of 2021 that a fatality had occurred on the set of a film, there were more questions than answers. What happened? Who was killed? Who was holding the gun? Over a year later and there are still a number of questions left unanswered. One of them we tragically know the answer to; the life lost was that of cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. She primarily worked on short films and independent projects before landing the job on “Rust.” A new documentary about her life aims to make sure this is not the last people will hear…

DC Films has been through a lot. Despite finding success in certain individual projects, they’ve never been able to get everything to gel the way Marvel Studios has. A lot of that may change in the future thanks to James Gunn and Peter Safran running the newly renamed DC Studios. But what happened to the other guy? The one largely blamed for everything that went wrong with “Justice League,” among other things? That would be Walter Hamada, former head of the company from 2018 until October of 2022. His next gig post-WB? Heading to Paramount Pictures to start what they…
