It speaks volumes that you pretty much can’t find what GLAAD stands for on the actual GLAAD website. Nominally an acronym for “Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation” (a term GLAAD has since ditched) the LGBT advocacy group now does far, far more than defend against defamation. In an ironic twist, GLAAD now shames (stopping […]
Super Bowl LVIII — the most-watched program in television history — wasn’t the only record-setter to debut Sunday evening. During the game, the much-anticipated trailer for the upcoming Marvel Studios production “Deadpool & Wolverine” aired as well. It is now the most-watched movie trailer of all time. WARNING: The following video contains language and themes […]
Believe it or not, there was a period of time when late-night satire news show “The Daily Show” was genuinely funny. When the show debuted in 1996 with Craig Kilborn as host, “The Daily Show” was far less politically focused and sought to skewer the parody-worthy newscasts of the mid-’90s. That iteration of the show […]
The beauty of low expectations is that you should be able to exceed them — or, at least, match them. “Madame Web,” the Sony-Marvel (and thus Disney adjacent) superhero film already had rock bottom expectations going into its Wednesday release. By virtually any forecast or prediction, “Madame Web” was tracking to be a historically bad box office […]
The smash hit video game “Elden Ring” (and winner of multiple 2022 game of the year awards) may soon be arriving on your phone. China‘s massive business titan, Tencent Holdings, is apparently developing a mobile version of the fantasy role-playing console game, Reuters reported on Feb. 5, citing three people familiar with the plan.

Post Malone belted out an unexpectedly folky version of “America the Beautiful” before Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas on Sunday. The musician’s soulful rendition of the patriotic anthem was pleasantly unpretentious — an interesting contrast to his heavily tattooed face and diamond-and-gold teeth grills. The 28-year-old donned a white dress shirt, brown blazer and […]
Few WWE employees in history have had the grievances that Bret “The Hitman” Hart has had with disgraced ex-WWE head honcho Vince McMahon. Or so many people thought until a recent spate of horrific and damning allegations were brought forth against McMahon in an explosive sex-trafficking lawsuit in late January. The lawsuit — which names […]
Few shows engulfed the zeitgeist quite like HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Based on the fantasy novel “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin (more on him shortly), the original show debuted in 2011 and swiftly became an iconic television show in the same veins as “Band of Brothers,” “Lost” and “The Office.” […]
On a Thursday filled with gargantuan news items, one easily might have overlooked the ongoing inanity of Super Bowl week. Beleaguered players enduring asinine questions from media members who have no apparent interest in the game itself amounts to an annual spectacle that for some reason the NFL continues to promote. At times, however, players […]
Since it was first announced, the buzz around Sony’s upcoming Spider-Man spin-off “Madame Web” hasn’t been great.
