 We still think it’s odd that out of ALL THE FILMS Dane Cook might have picked for a star-studded read through, “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” would not have been high on the list. That said, the result is pretty entertaining, to say the least. Jennifer Aniston, Morgan Freeman, Jimmy Kimmel, Henry Golding, John Legend, Ray Liotta, Sean Penn, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, and Shia LaBeouf (who was pretty baked out of his gourd) came together via zoom to read selections from Cameron Crowe’s “Fast Times” script, and even director Amy Heckerling showed up. You can watch the video here.

In this Monopoly Board Game: Disney Villains Edition, players travel around the board using a villain token and play as Cruella, Jafar, Scar, Evil Queen,…

With some ‘select retailers’ jumping the gun, pre orders for the Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5) have been damn-near impossible to get.

If you haven’t made the time to sit and watch HBO Max series “Raised by Wolves,” you absolutely should. It’s a beautifully designed, shot, and presented piece of science fiction, with more than a little influence and guiding hand from Ridley Scott.It also just got picked up for a second season, which is FABULOUS news. Series creator (and executive producer) Aaron Guzikowski recently spoke with ScreenRant about his influence in creating this rich and NEW landscape of humans and androids on planet Kepler 22b. “I think it probably came from my experience as a parent. I have three young sons,…

So….today was the Sony PlayStation 5 Showcase, and it went pretty well. So well in fact that online retailers WalMart and Game Stop opened their pre orders for the PS5 a day early. Subsequently, the Game Stop website is currently completely down. Other retailers also opened their pre orders shortly after users reported managing to order their units via WalMart, so if you were lucky enough to get in on Best Buy, Target, or another retailer- good for you.Still no word on when Amazon’s sale will go live. None of IGN’s links to where you could theoretically pick up a…
