However you view filmmaker Patty Jenkins’ latest outing with Warner Bros. Pictures “Wonder Woman 1984,” you’ve got to admire the director’s bravery when it comes to talking about the behind-the-scenes studio drama. In a still very much male-centered studio game, she’s had two superhero tent pole films do very well at the box office, and and has a “Star Wars” title on the horizon. During a recent stop by Marc Maron’ (“GLOW,” person we want most to play Stan Lee) WTF Podcast, Jenkins shared some shocking (but then again maybe not really shocking?) information about what was really going on…

This is a pretty big rumor, as at the time of htis writing, there is exactly one ‘outlet’ running a story about it, with absolutely no sources. The story comes from UK tabloid The Mirror, and claims “Doctor Who” star Jodie Whittaker has quit the series after only 3 seasons as the Time Lord.According to The Mirror: One insider said: “It’s all very hush-hush but it is known on set that Jodie is leaving and they are gearing up for a regeneration.“Her departure is top secret but at some point over the coming months the arrival of the 14th Doctor…

You guys know we absolutely love young rock phenom Nandi Bushell, and anytime she releases a new video, we’re gonna tell you about it. This morning, Bushell really kicked off 2021 with the right energy, covering Blur’s iconic “Song 2.” There was the first time we saw Nandi absolutely KILL a song- Rage Against The Machine’s Guerilla Radio, THEN she challenged Dave Grohl to a drum off (which Dave says she won), and most recently an incredible cover of Muse’s “Hysteria.” Bushell is amazing, and we can’t wait to see her join the all-star lineup for the David Bowie birthday…

We’d like to take a minute to remind everyone it’s only the THIRD DAY of 2021, and we already have our first bit of what the hell news from the entertainment world. Remember when the “Battleship” movie happened, and how everyone was making jokes about what other titles could be next? Things like Hungry Hungry Hippos, Candyland, and even Monopoly? Thanks to Hyde Park Entertainment and Endeavour Content, we’re getting a Rubik’s Cube movie, and a game show? This new project has (we assume) nothing to do with the Saturday morning cartoon from 1984 called Rubik the Amazing Cube, but…

The still-ongoing pandemic has effected us all in a lot of ways, and even beloved tv personalities like SpongeBob SquarePants and co haven’t been immune. Enter the Pineapple Playhouse! Its a web series of shorts focusing on puppet recreations of popular SpongeBob SquarePants episodes to tide fans over til the show eventually returns, and also to give the various creatives a chance to do what they do best. This week’s episode? The “SpongeBob SquarePants” meme generating classic- “Can You Spare A Dime?” Squidward quits his job at the Krusty Krab after Mr. Krabs accuses him of stealing his very first dime. Luckily his…

Imagine your football team has just won the big game in your division. You held off your rivals to lead 42-28, meaning the Duke’s Mayo Bowl crystal trophy is yours to hold. So, you do what any victorious player does- dance around with it in the locker room. Only problem? You freaking drop it, and the damn thing shatters on the ground while you’re teammates film the entire thing. [Photos courtesy of the Wisconsin Badgers] This is what happened to University of Wisconsin’s Badgers following the 2020 Duke’s Mayo Bowl win against the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. Quarterback Graham Mertz is…

There are few things in this world I personally love more than to see CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper get hit with an uncontrollable giggle fit. It’s pure, it’s adorable, and it’s oftentimes infectious. The best one will always be Cooper’s tackling of French actor Gerard Depardieu’s unfortunate decision to pee into a water bottle on board a plane. Remember that? Back in 2011, it was one of the most ridiculous things to be reported on. *sigh* Oh, the good ol days. Seriously, watch Cooper try (and fail) to get through the script, filled with puns and terrible but wonderful…

2021 is upon us, and Sony Pictures is already teasing one of their big film projects. This morning, the official Twitter account for the upcoming live-action adaptation of video game “Uncharted” shared four new images, teasing the treasure hunting adventures of Nathan Drake. Tom Holland will be playing Drake, Ruben Fleischer (“Venom”) is directing.  Mark Wahlberg is playing Sully, Nathan’s mentor and longtime friend. Antonio Banderas is also on board, as well as Sophia Ali, and Tati Gabrielle. The 4 images from this morning totally have an “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” vibe, with the cross and all. Maybe this means…

My household has been trying to marathon as much of “The Office” as possible before it left Netflix for the newly launched NBC streaming service, Peacock. We tried, we failed, and this morning we suddenly remembered the saga of Dunder Mufflin and associates was no longer on our usual go-to platform. The move makes sense, considering “The Office” (US version) was an NBC show to begin with, so why would it NOT be one of the anchor series of their service? Along with “Battlestar Galactica,” “Saturday Night Live,” “30 Rock,” and surprising addition “Downton Abbey,” Peacock wants to be a…

First and foremost, if you HAVE NOT WATCHED “The Mandalorian” season 2 finale yet, you REALLY, really, need to. Especially if you’re going to continue to read this particular piece, because we’re going to share what Mark Hamill had to say about it. Seriously. Spoiler Warning. Still here? Even with that spoiler warning? Ok then….If you’ll recall, in the season 2 finale of “The Mandalorian,” a surprise “Star Wars” hero returns with a green lightsaber. The addition of Luke Skywalker, played once again by Mark Hamill (but with a highly divisive CGI skin over the face), caused fans to collectively…
