Barney may be a dinosaur from our imaginations, but this live-action movie is very much real. Yes, in case you forgot, that purple dinosaur that delighted children and significantly irritated parents from the late 80s to 2010 was slated for a live-action movie a few years ago. Even though talk about it hasn’t been in the headlines since then, he hasn’t gone away. He still loves you, and Oscar winner Daniel Kaluuya is still hard at work at making the movie happen. Though he’s been acting since far before 2017, that was the year he was featured as Chris in…

Sometimes, criminal cases involving celebrities take turns a screenwriter could not or would not dare to come up with. Such is the ongoing case with singer Ricky Martin, and a restraining order that was filed against him earlier this month. Please note before you read any further, this story does involve allegations of both domestic abuse and sexual acts between family members. So if this is too much (we do not blame you if it is), you may want to stop reading now. A restraining order was filed against Ricky Martin on July 2nd, 2022 in Puerto Rico. According to…

There have been many classic rivalries in the history of film and television. Freddy vs Jason, Predator vs Alien, “Designing Women” vs “The Golden Girls;” you get the idea. Legendary director Joe Dante may have just started his own blood feud of cuteness between a galaxy far, far away and an iconic 80s film. Is it possible Baby Yoda (real name redacted) is a blatant rip-off of everyone’s favorite “Gremlins” star Gizmo? One of the major selling points for “The Mandalorian” was the reveal in the first episode of Baby Yoda. While we’d later come to find out his real…

Several shows could compete for the title of the best kept secret on television, but one of the chief contenders is certainly “Documentary Now!.” Airing on IFC, this mockumentary series features a who’s who of late 2000’s and 2010’s SNL talent. Created by Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, and “Saturday Night Live” director Rhys Thomas it’s also executively produced by them along with SNL head, Lorne Michaels. Meyers, Armisen, and Hader are also responsible for writing much of the series along with frequent collaborator, John Mulaney. The series has frequently relied on guest star talent in order to give…

The sea lion, mother nature’s way of telling you that it’s perfectly natural to be fat, happy, and roll around in the sand all day. These generally passive creatures can weigh around 600 pounds, are fairly intelligent, and in general are pretty adorable. But, they ARE 600 pounds. And have teeth. So as adorable as they might be, maybe it’s not a good idea to get one angry. How dangerous could an angry sea lion be? Well a bunch of beach goers at La Jolla Cove didn’t wait to find out. A witness at the scene noticed a woman approaching…

Ever heard of shiny Pokémon? In the series of video games, there has always been a remote chance that if you encounter a Pokémon it will be a shiny variant. A shiny Eevee may be a light gray color instead of its typical brown. The odds of this happening? Depending on the game, roughly 1/4096. Now imagine this happening in real life with a lobster. The odds of that being closer to 1/30,000,000. Anyone who’s walked by a lobster tank can attest that these aquatic crawlers are generally brown and speckled, sometimes with green, red, and a little blue too.…

Controversial casting decisions are a dime a dozen, but sometimes one comes along that really makes you stop and say, “…wait what?” While we’ve perhaps grown more used to that happening in television and film, this news serves as a reminder it happens on stages, too. Evidence of this reared its head recently when the already struggling Broadway revival of “Funny Girl” lost their lead actress Beanie Feldstein (“Booksmart,” “Impeachment: American Crime Story”) months before her planned departure. That itself was cause for concern. But then the production decided to replace her with former “Spring Awakening” star Lea Michele. The…

Pandemics, inflation, Russian aggression in Europe, “Morbius” re-releases- the world has enough on its plate already. But according to New York City, that’s not enough for its denizens to worry about. Nosir, apparently you should also be preparing for nuclear warfare and the fallout from it. The literal fallout, not the socio-political ramifications. In a wonderful modern-day throwback to the good old days of the Cold War, nuclear warfare PSAs are apparently a thing again in one of America’s most populous cities The PSA [scroll all the way down if you just want to see the video] opens with the…

It just may come to pass that we’ll find out if there’s something fishy about the tuna in Subway restaurants. If you’ll recall, allegations have plagued the restaurant chain that the tuna used in their sandwiches isn’t actually tuna. A lawsuit was filed against Subway regarding this claim, and it was anyone’s guess as to whether or not the court system would allow it to proceed. The answer isn’t one that’s going to make the company very happy. On July 7th, a U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar allowed the lawsuit to continue against Subway. The lawsuit was originally filed by…

Diarrhea. You’ve probably had it before, but maybe not from the same cause that several people reported getting it from over the last couple weeks. Coffeehouse chain Starbucks doesn’t just serve coffee; more varied menu items have made it into their locations over time. One of the very recent additions may be responsible for sending a few people running to their toilets…in the literal and scatological sense. The item in question was the chicken, maple butter, and egg sandwich from Starbucks. As the name would suggest, it contains chicken, egg, and some maple butter. It may have contained campylobacter, a…
