Forewarning: It is impossible to think too much about this movie and its title without getting that Billie Eilish song stuck in your head for days on end. If that is an experience that sounds unpleasant to you, now would be a good time to stop reading. A Uniquely Styled Crowdpleaser The Bad Guys, the …

It is an unfortunate truth: Hollywood has all but killed the romantic comedy in recent years. Even before Covid began ravaging our world and life as we know it was changed forever, Hollywood stopped producing the same movies that made so much money just a decade before. After Marry Me came out last month, The …
After over two decades on the air, change is inevitable. It seems like Survivor just keeps throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks and what doesn’t. It may feel like the show’s twists have become too convoluted. But what we, as viewers, tend to forget is that the show has had twists since …
When I first saw the trailer for Marry Me, the newest romantic comedy, starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson, my first thought was, “Is it 2009?” I truly don’t mean that to sound insulting.

Over the course of its 37 seasons, The Challenge has found many ways to keep us coming back every season. Of course, its soap opera-like format of having people return season after season is a big draw. But another aspect that breathes new life into the show every season is its rotation of formats. Unlike …
I know, I know! The season just ended! But you know what? I’m still riding the high of a new Survivor season and this is how it manifests! Survivor 41 has its fair share of fans and detractors. Some people could not get used to the new style of editing or the overabundance of twists. …

Let’s take a look at the best Challenge rookies of 2021! Keep in mind that this list is not based solely on …
The only thing better than one Mahershala Ali is two. As if making up for the last several years, on behalf of Hollywood, when Ali has only been given supporting roles, Swan Song changes things up. Ali is given the opportunity to act in both a supporting role AND a leading role. How generous. Written …
2021 has proven to be the year of the musical and it continues with tick, tick… BOOM! From Broadway adaptations like In the Heights and Dear Evan Hansen to original musicals like Vivo and Annette to whatever the hell Cinderella was, this year has been full of songs and dance. With only two months of …
Growing up, I saw my fair share of Westerns. It seemed like every time I visited my grandparents or woke up when only my dad was awake on a Sunday, I would be forced have the chance to sit down and watch gun-slinging cowboys with my loved ones. Some were good – I particularly enjoyed …
Some people just don’t get respect, no matter how much they deserve it. Such is the case with some of the people we see on The Challenge season after season. Sure, there are the Laurels and the Sarahs and the Kams – the women who you know are going far if they are standing in …
After over two decades on the air, The Challenge has seen its fair share of contestants who are elite and contestants who are lacking in all areas of the competition.

We recently counted down the Top 10 Big Brother Contestants We Want on The Challenge! It only seems right that we do the same for its CBS counterpart: Survivor! It took a little longer for The Challenge to start pulling from Survivor than it did Big Brother. We have only had two seasons since the …
After an unintentional two year hiatus from releasing stories theatrically, Marvel is releasing its second movie since July, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The movie that came before, Black Widow, released in July with solid reviews, kicking off the MCU’s Phase 4. Even though it is the technical start to the new …
After 2016’s atrocity, it would seem wise to steer clear of any movie featuring the words “Suicide Squad” in the title. For those willing to take a chance, though, The Suicide Squad is a hell of a good time. Starting From Scratch Where do you even begin when trying to reboot an utter failure of …
