The “Twisted Metal” game series has been dormant for years, but its memorable and motley cast of characters have stuck in people’s minds. Mr. Grimm, Calypso, Sweet Tooth, Axel and more have all entered the vehicular combat arena. With their unique vehicles and back stories, it made for a series that had a lot of personality behind its fairly basic concept. It seems that a similar philosophy is behind the casting of the upcoming television series as well. Some interesting new names have been added to the cast, sure to make some fans scream with joy.Kitao Sakurai (“The Eric Andre Show,” “Dave”)…

The 1980s were a magical time of synthesizers, heavy drums, and super peppy music to make you forget all about Reaganomics and its financial ruination of the lower income brackets. It was also a time for a lot of one-hit wonders which are still remembered fondly today. Time has a way of making people forget things though, including how some “one-hits” were not a one and done at all. There are several examples of where an artist or band had more than one song to hit the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100, the qualifier for hit status. As…
Let’s be honest for a minute; life is hard. We all have our own coping mechanisms for dealing with the curveballs the daily grind throws at us.

Now of course, all things should come in moderation so you should save that sweet indulgence for something special. There’s good news on that front- Pillsbury has you covered with the limited-time only return of two fan-favorite flavors. Last year the confectionary company graced us with Dino Shape Cookie Dough and Cinnamon…

The idea that a food product won’t look as advertised has become normalized to the point that it’s basically an expectation. Boxes of food will display the phrase enlarged to show texture, or commercials showing food in optimum conditions to try and make it look as pleasing as possible. When it comes to fast food though, where does the line get drawn between acceptable and legal? A lawsuit filed on Tuesday aims to answer that. On May 17th, Justin Chimienti filed a class-action lawsuit through the Brooklyn federal court. The suit alleges that fast food giants McDonald’s and Wendy’s are…
We’ve covered a lot of the fallout from the Warner Bros. and Discovery Inc. merger. The newly established Warner Bros. Discovery has made a number of decisions that have affected everything from the cancellation of CNN+, to the cessation of scripted content on TBS and TNT. We knew more changes were coming. And, we regret to inform you that the planned “Wonder Twins” film will not have its powers activated. HBO Max was developing the film as part of their DC Comics list of projects.

In late April, we covered some of the internal chaos that was going on at Netflix following their loss of over 600,000 subscribers in North America last quarter. The streaming giant is expecting to lose another 2 million in the next quarter, and that loss is being passed down to the employees. While Netflix continues to sort out its future, they’ve also laid off 150 employees. While cutting 2% of its American workforce doesn’t seem super large, it’s a big deal when taken as part of the larger picture. Since the announcement of Netflix’s recent misfortunes, there has been a…

One of the great travesties of life is that there is so much media to comb through and not enough time. Making things even harder is how we can fall back on listening to, watching, reading, or playing the same things over and over. It doesn’t help when various platforms regurgitate the same things to us all the time. This happens a lot with music where the same songs will get used again and again in television, films, advertisements, radio, and suggested repeatedly on streaming apps. So in order to help mix things up for people and show some songs…
