The Hollywood Walk of Fame is one of the most well known honors a celebrity can receive outside of a competitive ceremony.

Despite being a box-office and merchandising juggernaut, it’s also responsible for “Cars 2.” Some consider it the weakest film in the entire Pixar catalog. That said, the series did bounce back pretty strongly with “Cars 3,” ending on a high note. But when the power of merchandising is still strong, there is no end and now the cars are coming back! It’s not a movie this time around though, instead Lightning McQueen and Mater are going on a road trip in a new series on Disney+. Who…
It has been no secret for those following industry news over the last few years that the Golden Globe Awards were in trouble. The group that organizes the event, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, has been accused of everything from bribery and corruption to allegations of racial exclusivity. Things have become so bad in fact that NBC refused to air the award ceremony in 2022. In what may be a desperate bid to keep the awards going, the HFPA has transferred the rights to the Golden Globes to Eldridge Industries. The recent downfall of the HFPA is arguably a long…
It’s often said in politics that people are most likely to vote for somebody they can sit down and have a beer with. Well, what if that somebody was a miniature pony; would the situation change? What if the pony also drank beer? Those are two very important questions that have seemingly been answered by the people of a small English village called Cockington. A village where Patrick the miniature Shetland Pony is now the unofficial mayor. So while this all sounds absurd, it’s actually really kind of sweet when you know more about it. Seriously, stick with us on…
On stage accidents for bands have run the gamut from being hilarious to deadly.

Footage of the incident shows one of the large monitors hanging above the stage landing on its side directly on top of one of the members. It then falls flat to the left, landing on another member of the band. Reports indicate both of the…

Sometimes the news gets things wrong despite all best efforts. Other times, inaccurate information is disseminated from a reliable source, only for that source to be wrong. Today is one of the latter situations. In a matter that is heart-wrenching due to someone being in their final hours, they were mistakenly reported as dead before they actually passed. “Leave it to Beaver” actor Tony Dow was reported as deceased while still alive. Dow is known for his role as Wally Cleaver, the older brother of Beaver in the aforementioned sitcom. It was known a couple of months ago that Dow…
Amusement parks may be fun, but the business and politics of them can be far from it. Whether it be licensing rights, machine malfunctions, cost of maintenance, or even the design of a new ride, the behind the scenes affairs can be nightmarish.

So let’s take a look at the years-long battle between Universal Studios and Dymorides. To fully grasp everything that’s been going on, we have to go back…
It seems like Netflix can’t stop making the news for various reasons. Maybe it’s the shedding of subscribers, layoffs, or prophecies of gloom and doom in the battle between streaming platforms. This latest shake-up however is less clear cut in terms of what it means for the future of the company. Netflix’s head of adult animation, Mike Moon, is leaving to pursue other opportunities.
