Thrilling heists and robberies are no stranger to the world of entertainment. If they were, we wouldn’t have the “Ocean’s Eleven” film, remake, and eventual franchise. They make for gripping narratives and often a desire to root for the antihero or villain. At least, we can do that in the realm of fiction, in real life these things rarely happen. In the case of the Disney Springs Paddlefish restaurant, fiction became a bit too true to life, and they’re not rooting for the villain this time around either. The Paddlefish is a unique restaurant in that it’s designed to be…

Horror franchises have come and gone over the decades. The longer they live on, the less reliable they tend to be at the box office. Don’t tell that to “The Conjuring” franchise though. Eleven years after its first film and its most recent entry, “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” has picked up its biggest box office opening for the franchise as a whole. Warner Bros.is hoping for continued success with its upcoming HBO Max series of the same name, that now has its showrunner and writers set to go. Even though Warner Bros. has been tight lipped about the plot details,…

Oh, Fyre Fest. Despite the fact that it never turned out happening it has been the gift that has kept on giving. Normally, we don’t take pleasure in the pain of others, but a bit of schadenfreude is acceptable when we’re talking about convicted felon Billy McFarland, the mind behind Fyre Fest. He swore it would actually happen the second time around, and shockingly, it didn’t. But it will all be worth, because Taika Waititi is currently working on “Fyre Fest: The Musical.” The original Fyre Fest was a joke unto itself. People traveled to an island for the promise…

In June of 2025, a lawsuit with the potential to generate a lot of waves in the world of artificial intelligence was filed against Midjourney. One of the largest platforms for AI generated content, Disney and Universal Pictures filed against the company for copyright infringement. As if those two names weren’t a big enough legal threat, they’ve been joined by Warner Bros. Pictures in the suit. Disney and Universal allege Midjourney is illegally utilizing their intellectual property to help users generate images. Warner Bros. has echoed that sentiment in their own statement. “Midjourney is blatantly and purposefully infringing copyrighted works,…

You may not even realize it, but one of the longest running shows in television history is the home repair program “This Old House.” It started airing in 1979 and was originally hosted by Bob Vila with assistance from master carpenter, Norm Abram. The program’s success spawned off a number of interconnected shows including Abram’s own “New Yankee Workshop” and “Ask This old House.” Now, a new program will be joining the family aimed at first time home buyers, “This First House.” Roku purchased the “This Old House” brand back in 2021, and will be airing the spinoff though their…

As you learn more about the history of fairy tales, you begin to learn that they are often times, horror stories of an intensely absurd caliber. That’s not a bad thing really. Often times people enjoy being scared to a degree. Many kids love scary stories, and in the time when many of these traditional stories were conceived, life itself was pretty horrifying. But these tales of transformed over time to become a bit milder. Who better to take them back to their roots than Stephen King, with a little help from beyond the grave by Maurice Sendak. Stephen King…

When it comes to experimental alternative rock, there are very few bands that have the critical and commercial clout as Radiohead. The English rockers have routinely pushed the boundaries of modern rock since the release of their debut album, “Pablo Honey” in 1993. Frontman Thom Yorke and his bandmates haven’t been extremely active lately, but that’s set to change later this year. Not to be outdone by Oasis reuniting, Radiohead will hit the road again to tour the UK and Europe. Radiohead hasn’t toured in 7 years. A few of those years can be easily chalked up to the COVID-19…

Well, this was something we didn’t see coming. Like a sneak attack from underneath, or a harpoon through the chest from across the arena, Warner Bros. just landed a critical blow to the hopes of fans of the “Mortal Kombat” franchise. The latest installment in the film series was slated to come out less than two months from now on October 24th. We’re going to have to wait til the middle of 2026 before the Kombat kommences. Warner Bros. Pictures tried to breathe new life into the film adaptations of the famed video game series back in 2021. “Mortal Kombat”…

When we heard that Warner Bros. wanted to double down on some of their existing intellectual property, we were prepared for things from the DC universe or “Harry Potter.” We weren’t actually expecting that a sequel to “The Goonies” would actually be in the works. Sure, there were rumors, but would they actually go through with it? Apparently, they would. Potsy Ponciroli is handling the script, and apparently, it’s almost done. It’s not like the original “Goonies” needed a sequel. One could say the original was “Good Enough.” (A Cyndi Lauper joke.) But the misadventures of Mikey, Mouth, Chunk, and…

There are very few franchises that are as beloved as “Back to the Future.” The trilogy of films from Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale stand as one of the most endearing set of films to ever be released and more so, not milked for nostalgia. Zemeckis and Gale have remained firm on not rebooting or reinventing the franchise. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t new ways to enjoy it though. On the year of the original film’s 40th anniversary, Universal is rolling out some stuff for fans, including a new media boxset, and a theatrical re-release. The adventures of Marty…
