It has been almost 32 years since the last new episode of beloved Disney Afternoon staple, “Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers:” aired in syndication. The action/adventure based spin-off for the two Disney chipmunks featured them solving mysteries and crimes with the help of their friends Gadget, Monterey Jack, and Zipper. But we’re happy to say that after a three decade absence, these two gumshoes, are still picking up the slack and delivering us a new trailer. Previously we got to see a lot of this world in which the film takes place; a Roger Rabbit-style universe where toons and humans…

Despite being available for less than a month, streaming service CNN+ is shutting down.

Well, it’s official- Elon Musk has reached an agreement with Twitter to purchase the social media company for $44 billion. The news of the purchase comes after several days of headlines that ranged from the deal potentially happening, to the board of executives contemplating a “Poison Pill” defensive strategy. Ultimately the tides turned quickly in Musk’s favor, after he had brought together a finance package offering $52.40 per share. What was behind Musk’s purchase of the social media platform? The billionaire CEO of Tesla has made a large presence for himself on the site and has expressed concerns over what…

In the late Glenn Frey’s solo song “Smuggler’s Blues,” the former Eagle sings “It’s a losing proposition, but one you can’t refuse. It’s the politics of contraband, it’s the smuggler’s blues.” Who knows how much Glenn actually knew about the smuggling business, but a recent arrest in New Delhi has certainly left a man with the blues after $40,000 worth of gold was found hidden on him…and in him. An unnamed man was traveling from Abu Dhabi to New Delhi, but was swiftly arrested when he departed his flight. No reason was listed for why officials were suspicious of the…

There are various types of screenwriters and directors in Hollywood. Among the most interesting are those who get high profile projects despite a mixed resume. For example, let’s look at Alex Kurtzman, who brought us “The Amazing Spider-Man 2,” “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” running Paramount+’s “Star Trek” empire, and the recent tvnadaptation of “The Man Who Fell to Earth.” Oh, and he also did 2017’s “The Mummy.” If you forgot about Tom Cruise’s attempt to kick-off Universal’s Dark Universe as it was called, it’s hard to blame you. “The Mummy” significantly underperformed critically and commercially, and side-lined the potential…

I think we all know that Ryan Reynolds is a charmer. From his days on “Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place” to his recent work as The Merc with a Mouth, this Vancouverite is a hot property. Apparently he’s so hot, that he’s received his own (unofficial) coloring book courtesy of illustrator Maurizio Campidelli. So what’s inside this lusty compilation of crafty coloring pages? Well, let’s take a long, leering look. For starters, you’re getting 35 hand-drawn ‘daydreams,’ as the product page puts it. Say what you will about the coloring book, but if this artist has managed…

As the old adage goes, ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’ You could easily make the argument that AMC has has done wonders for the career of Bob Odenkirk, thanks to his role as Saul Goodman on “Breaking Bad” and its prequel spin-off “Better Call Saul.” By the same token, Odenkirk has certainly kept viewers’ eyes on the cable network and they hope to keep that success going with the new series, “Straight Man.” Originally a novel by Richard Russo, the story revolves around a man working in a university as the chairman of the English department. He also…

Its been four years since the world of video games was graced with the absolutely stellar “God of War.” Though sharing the same name as its 2005 predecessor, the 2018 revival changed the game completely for its character Kratos, as well as fans of the PlayStation exclusive series. The game’s final cliffhanger left us eagerly anticipating what many assumed to be an upcoming Ragnarok, and sure enough, we found out it was on the horizon. But is that horizon releasing as expected in 2022, or do we have more time left stuck in Valhalla? When “God of War: Ragnaork” was…

The Goliath that is Netflix seems to have finally encountered it’s David, and they don’t know how to solve it or what’s caused it. Following a fairly disastrous first quarter’s earning report, the streaming giant is facing a future where a change in strategies is necessary. While CEO Reed Hastings has some ideas as to what he’d like to see, the path forward is not immediately clear. Netflix had some conservative expectations for the first quarter of 2022. They were counting on adding at least 2.5 million new subscribers, but didn’t come anywhere close to that goal. While they gained some numbers…

There’s a story that has been told for many years involving a scorpion and a frog. The scorpion wants to cross the river and asks the frog if he can ride on his back. The frog refuses stating that the scorpion would just sting him and kill him. The scorpion counters back though, but if I did that while we were in the water, I would drown and we’d both die. The frog, seeing this logic, agrees to carry the scorpion. Halfway across the river the scorpion stings the frog and they both start to drown. “Why,” asks the frog,…
