'Welcome to the Justin Hartley lookalike contest': The Glen Powell lookalike competition is the best one yet
The lookalike contests are taking over. If you were looking for who had the best one, look no further than Glen Powell! Taking place in Austin, Texas, the contest was judged by Glen Powell’s mother and the winner got a cameo in his next movie. That’s my guy! This trend has been my favorite since it started and the lack of awards really did make it hilarious. Timothée Chalamet’s got shut down by police and the winner go $50 dollars. That’s beyond funny to me.
‘Why don’t you just check with Putin?’: A disgraced ex-Fox News host advised the House Speaker to consult with Vladimir Putin
It really is shocking how little brain cells exist at Fox News. Well, to be fair, Tucker Carlson isn’t there anymore but he barely had any brain cells anyway. Carlson is now openly talking about how he told the Speaker of the House to…just talk to Vladimir Putin. On his new podcast, The Tucker Carlson Show, the former anchor was talking Glenn Greenwald and revealed that Mike Johnson and Carlson were talking about Ukraine.
'Democrat propaganda': Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to kill NPR's funds despite it being publicly funded
Marjorie Taylor Greene is up to her nonsense again. This time threatening to cut the budget for something she has absolutely no control over. The latest thing to make her angry is NPR for existing. Greene now has a little bit of power and it is going to her head. She was nominated as part of “Department of Government Efficiency” along with Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.
'The Merry Gentlemen' has the worst excuse for a male lead
Some movies have romantic leads you wish you could smooch. That is not the case with The Merry Gentlemen. I don’t care how much you loved Chad Michael Murray in One Tree Hill, his character in this movie is the absolute worst! The film stars Britt Robertson as Ashley, a dancer who is let go from her Broadway show and she ends up going back home for the holidays. There, her family reveals that they are losing the bar they owned and she comes up with a plan to save it.
All the "good" songs aren't just in the first act of Wicked! Hope that helps
Wicked is here and fans are leaving the theater belting “Defying Gravity” just as we felt after Act One of the stage show. But because the movie is very much Act One, a certain online take has made the rounds and I need to protest.
The impossible is happening…I’m super excited about a J.J. Abrams movie again
When it comes to J.J. Abrams, he and I have very high highs and then very low lows. Still, I look forward to his vision on projects. His latest mystery movie is shaping up to be for me and I’m really into it! Abrams, known for his work on things like Star Trek (2009) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has recently revealed he’s working on a movie with Glen Powell, Jenna Ortega, and Emma Mackey. If that wasn’t enough to get you excited, Samuel L.
'This is weaponized incompetence': TikTok tears into a man's unbelievable grocery shopping habits
Another day, another frustrating example of how men turn themselves into children who need others to do everything for them. This time, one man cannot even go to the grocery store by himself. Like…it isn’t that hard. There are labels all over the store. A viral video explores men and their inability to shop at stores by themselves.
A lot of racists are showing their true colors with their response to 'How To Train Your Dragon'
For those unaware, the How to Train Your Dragon movies are not based in history. As we live in a world were dragons, sadly, are not real. So why are “fans” so furious that Nico Parker is playing Astrid? The answer is simply racism. Universal Pictures released a first look at the live-action How to Train Your Dragon series. The film is about a young viking boy who bonds with a dragon named Toothless. Hiccup (Mason Thames) is from the Isle of Berk, a fictional placed based on the real Inner Hebrides.
'Evil Renee Rapp': Trump's new AG pick is some more Florida garbage
With Matt Gaetz out as Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General, the president-elect’s new choice is…well, more trash out of Florida. He has put Pam Bondi in as his new nomination. Posting on Truth Social, Trump shared why he picked Bondi as his replacement Matt Gaetz. “I am proud to announce former Attorney General of the Great State of Florida, Pam Bondi, as our next Attorney General of the United States,” he wrote. Which, she is not yet AG. Just to make that clear.
'I like my suitcase': People are realizing they don't know what adult Barron Trump sounds like
An old video of Barron Trump surfaced online that I’m sure the New York University student probably hates. In it, a younger Barron Trump is running around his lavish home in New York and he sounds a lot like his mother, despite being born in America. The clip is from 2010 and has been making the rounds on TikTok after users found it and discovered Trump saying “I like my suitcase.” He is holding a briefcase.
The next Barbenheimer is coming, and it's called Wicking Man
November 21, 2025 is about to be a perfect day in history for me. Why? Wicked: Part Two and Edgar Wright’s The Running Man are coming out on the same day. These are the things I wished for as a child. I’m kidding. I did not know we were going to be REALLY into movies coming out on the same day as a kid. But it is fun to think about making double features out of two contrasting movies much like we did with Barbie and Oppenheimer. This year, we have two separate “double feature” days to attend.
I feel like Connor Roy when I talk about my dead dad
I was warned about an episode in the final season of Succession. It came out when I was at Star Wars Celebration in London and no one wanted me spoiled but they also knew I’d be upset. I thought something happened to Kendall Roy but it’s because my dad’s dead. That might sound harsh but it is just a fact of life for me. My father died 13 days after I turned 30 years old. My big birthday was spent waiting to see when he’d go. It sucked.
Happy 16th birthday to the movie that changed lives
There is a divide in many a millennial’s life. The time before Twilight and the time after. Which is why we must honor the first film on this, it’s 16th birthday. Now, it can drive Bella Swan’s (Kristen Stewart) red truck! On November 21, 2008, fans took to theaters to see Catherine Hardwick’s Twilight adaptation. The film brought Robert Pattinson to us as Edward Cullen, Bella’s vampire boyfriend who was too afraid of hurting her to really truly let himself love her.
'[He's] interested in people who are loyal to him 100 percent of the time': Bill Clinton just revealed the truth about Trump
There is one thing that has been made abduntantly clear about Donald Trump: He cares about people who pledge their loyalty to him. Even Bill Clinton is pointing this fact out now. A government official should never be making choices based on who is and isn’t on their side or their loyalty. We’ve seen political rivals of the same party work together in cabinet positions throughout history. That’s how we keep a balance between our government.
The Glen Powell lookalike contest is finally here, and you better get your cowboy hats ready
Since the dawning of the Timothée Chalamet lookalike competition, fans have wanted to see their favorites get their time to shine. With Dev Patel, Jeremy Allen White, and more getting their competitions, fans asked: When Will Glen Powell get his time to shine? The competitions seem to just be a fun way of celebrating actors we love and their roles and people online really love Glen Powell. So why not have a lookalike competition for the star of Hit Man?
I'll believe Kevin Feige's talk of the live-action X-Men when I see them!
We get promised things as fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and, on one hand, I am all for believing that we’re going to get some of our favorite comic characters in the MCU. But I have been burned in the past. Especially with the X-Men. Kevin Feige, the President of Marvel Studios, is making some big promises. Joining virtually for Disney’s APAC Content Showcase, Feige talked about the future of the MCU. Part of that included him talking about the X-Men.
'Openly puppeteering Trump and Musk': New concerns over Trump's cabinet picks are causing unease online
Russian X accounts are now tweeting at Elon Musk about some policy ideas for the government. Just so you’re aware. To be fair, they’re only tweeted it at Musk but uh, that’s not exactly a comforting thought! Artem Klyushin was named in literal congressional investigations into Russia’s potential interference in the United States election. And now he’s tweeting non-stop about how the government can be “restructured” under Donald Trump’s second presidency.
'Very focused on getting Gaetz': New York Times journalist reveals Trump's true intentions for Matt Gaetz
Donald Trump publicly doesn’t seem to care that no one wants Matt Gaetz as Attorney General. Maggie Haberman revealed to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that Trump is singing a different tune about Gaetz’s chances in private.
'I'm Irish': Stop asking Irish actor Paul Mescal about King Charles
Ireland is not a fan of Great Britain. There is plenty of history you can look to to figure out why. So why are we asking Irish actor Paul Mescal how he feels about meeting King Charles? Probably not really into it, guys! King Charles attended the premiere for Gladiator II in London and it became a whole thing.
'Ultraman: Rising' interviews: The creatives behind the film talk nostaglia
Bringing an iconic story to life is never easy. Especially one as beloved as Ultraman. I was lucky enough to go to Lucasfilm and Skywalker Ranch to see how a film like Ultraman: Rising came to life and talk to the creatives behind it! It has been a lifelong dream of mine to see Lucasfilm and Netflix brought us to the studio that helped a movie like Ultraman: Rising come to life.
'Wicked' review: Jon M. Chu's vision has made this film worth the wait
Musical adaptations are never easy but Jon M. Chu’s Wicked is magic in the making. The Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande led film honors the love of the stage musical with its own beautiful take on Elphaba and Glinda’s friendship. Elphaba (Erivo) and Glinda (Grande) are forced together at Shiz University after Elphaba reveals her powers in an effort to help Nessarose (Marissa Bode). Watching every musical number come to life under Chu’s direction made the wait for this film worth it.
'Each of them individually is historically bad': An Authoritarianism expert confirms the truth about Trump's cabinet
Authoritarianism expert Timothy Snyder isn’t sugar coating the horrifying picks Donald Trump is making for his cabinet. Each new nomination should terrify you. Snyder was speaking with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi about the choices we’ve heard so far for Trump’s cabinet and he thinks it is historically bad. Great! “These appointments are not just poor choices in the traditional sense,” Snyder said and went on to make us all more terrified about the prospect of this cabinet.
Florence Pugh's openness about her PCOS is inspiring as someone who also suffers from it
Struggling with something like PCOS isn’t easy. You bring it up and people have their ideas of what it means or what you’re going through. So when a celebrity like Florence Pugh shares her struggles with it, it means a lot. Pugh opened up about having to freeze her eggs at 27 after finding out she has PCOS and Endometriosis. “I had this sudden feeling that I should go and get everything checked.
Why haven't we heard about a second season for the best comedy of this year???
Some shows come out and you just know you want to see 10 more seasons of it. Brian Jordan Alvarez’s English Teacher is one of those shows. So why haven’t we heard anything about a second season? We’ve all, by now, seen he videos that Alvarez has been posting online. He’s been doing a meme using an audio from Gilmore Girlsover and over again to try and get people to stream the series. From what I’ve seen, it is working.
No one told me just HOW messy the cardinals in 'Conclave' are
Conclave might, on paper, sound like a movie you wouldn’t enjoy but don’t be fooled. These messy little cardinals of the Catholic church live for the drama. The new film by Edward Berger takes us into the selection of the new Pope. When the previous pope dies, Dean Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes) is in charge of the “conclave.” That is essentially all of the cardinals in one room trying to decide who the next pick is going to be.
'Pure Democratic propaganda': MAGAs melt down over hard truths about Trump's cabinet picks
Donald Trump is making picks to his cabinet and the nominations are terrifying. As a clip from 60 Minutes pointed out, some of the people he has chosen have no qualifications for their new job titles. That fact hasn’t sat well with MAGA fans. During the segment, host Scott Pelley simply listed each nominee for Trump’s cabinet and their “qualifications” for the job. For many of the nominees, Pelley pointed out that they don’t have experience.
'Mags sacrificing herself to save Finnick in Catching Fire': Joe Biden walking into the Amazon forest is the best way to end 2024
So now who thought it was a good idea to let Joe Biden loose in the Amazon? The same place Madame Web’s mother was!? The President was the first ever Commander in Chief to visit the Amazon Rainforest and, well, he walked right into the trees without looking back. Sometimes, when given the option, you might feel like you want to just run into the forest and forget all your problems. That’s kind of what happened when Joe Biden went to the Amazon Rainforest.
Okay but everyone should watch ‘Doctor Odyssey'
Network television is so back. So if you aren’t watching shows like Doctor Odyssey, you’re really missing out. The new Ryan Murphy show takes us on a weekly cruise with the medical staff of a luxury ship. Led by Dr. Max Bankman (Joshua Jackson), there is a health crisis each week and relationship drama to fill your trip on the open seas. Really, they already had their three main characters have a threesome together so it is off to the races.
'Clear eyes, full hearts, can lose': What are we doing with this Friday Night Lights reboot?
Some shows really just change you when you watch them. And that’s what Friday Night Lights did for its audience and continues to do on streaming. So why is there talk of a reboot without the original cast? According to Deadline, Jason Katims, Pete Berg and Brian Grazer are all set to be part of this new project and it is still in the early stages. Currently, they’re taking the idea out to market. But what I don’t like about this news is that the show is rumored to be a completely new cast.
'Go wild on health': CNN slams the alarm about RFK Jr.'s horrifying healthcare history
CNN isn’t messing around with Fox News. When Fox News decided to praise Robert F. Kennedy’s comments on the food our kids eat in schools, CNN reminded them that Fox News repeatedly mocked Michelle Obama for saying something years ago. Kennedy was picked by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Terrifying since he is a man who knows absolutely nothing about public health. I’m beginning to think this is all the brain worm’s doing.
'Rachel Zegler has to go': Megyn Kelly is trying to cancel the new Snow White for exercising her free speech
The MAGA heads who yell about the right to Free Speech constantly are now trying to “cancel” Rachel Zegler for…using her right to Free Speech. You guys are so happy that the “woke” culture is gone but you keep trying to “cancel” people yourselves so…make up your mind! Zegler, who is gearing up to star as Snow White in a new live-action version of the Disney movie, has gained attention for a post she made on her Instagram stories.
Thank you, Brad Winderbaum. I'd love more seasons of 'Daredevil: Born Again'
Brad Winderbaum was on the Phase Hero podcast and talked about the future of Daredevil: Born Again. Lucky for me, his response was music to my ears! The series, which has yet to debut on Disney+, is set to be a return to Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock from the Netflix series Daredevil. A perfect show with three seasons that was canceled when the Netflix Defenders verse started to head into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
One more sleep until the best action movie of 2024 hits Peacock
2024 is a tough year. So why not make yourself feel better by streaming the best action movie so far on Peacock? The Lee Isaac Chung film Twisters is set to hit streaming on November 15 and great! What a perfect time to lose yourself in the magic that is Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones falling in love with each other-eh, tornadoes, together! Honestly, why not just gift yourself by watching this movie instead of doom scrolling?
If you are still mocking people who like 'The Acolyte,' you are the most boring person
Ever since the release of The Acolyte, there have been a sea of boring people complaining about it. If you dare like the show, they have an opinion about you. Now that the series was canceled by Disney, they’re still mocking those who like it and god, it’s so boring. The series cancelation hurts. I was excited to see what was going to come next for Mae and Osha (both played by Amandla Stenberg) and I needed more of the Stranger (Manny Jacinto).
Denzel Washington's response to the King showing up at the 'Gladiator II' premiere is iconic
Denzel Washington is, in a lot of ways, American royalty. So his response to King Charles showing up to the Gladiator II premiere is iconic. Spoiler alert: He didn’t care. The global premiere for the new Ridley Scott movie happened in London this week with all the stars in attendance. That includes Washington. While the cast was meeting fans, security reportedly moved many inside the theater because the King had arrived.
'Worst cabinet pick in American history': Republican White House advisor ruthlessly slams Trump's Attorney General pick Matt Gaetz
While we have great highs (like The Onion buying Infowars), we are also living in a time of extremely low lows. Like Matt Gaetz being Donald Trump’s pick for Attorney General. What exactly are we doing here? Gaetz, who maybe (allegedly) drove an underage teenage girl over state lines to a party, is a US representative and also a lawyer but more than that, he sucks. Now, he will have power in the government and this really is the worst timeline.
Today in LOL: The Onion buys Infowars, vows to turn it into satire site
Good things do exist. Like The Onion buying Infowars and turning it into a satire site. Wherever Alex Jones is today, we know that he is having the worst day ever and that feels really great. As many are saying online, this was the funniest possible outcome and that’s the truth. It almost feels like a headline for The Onion itself. For context: Alex Jones used to run the website Infowars.
'She is nothing but petty': Americans are ashamed that Melania Trump gracelessly broke a long-standing White House tradition
When she is actually Melania Trump and not a rumored stand-in, the returning First Lady loves to be gross and petty. Which is exactly what is happening here. A tradition when a new president is heading to the White House is for the First Ladies to meet and talk about the transition of power. Melania Trump has declined meeting with Jill Biden.
'I wonder what furry art was used to train the AI': Elon Musk's DOGE logo is being destroyed online
Elon Musk is yet again up to his nonsense. This time, making AI art with his title under the new Donald Trump administration. God, I hate that we might have Musk in charge of literally anything. He can’t even properly run Twitter. Musk is going to be appointed one of the heads of the Department of Government Efficiency along with Vivek Ramaswamy. The acronym spells out DOGE. You know, a cute name many of us give to our beloved four legged pets. AKA dogs. It is a meme.
Glen Powell tries to thinks of us (the audience) first and that's why we love him
It was Glen Powell summer this year and we all fell in love with the Twisters star. Now, he was named as one of Vanity Fair’s 2025 Hollywood Issue. Labeled as a “modern icon,” the actor did an interview with the outlet where he talked about the audience. For many actors, they think of how a film can challenge them. It is all what they want to make. I don’t think that’s a bad way of looking at your career but it does mean that your audience may not like everything you do. That’s also fine.
'…kind of inedible': Trump's questionable healthcare advisor ironically trashes the president-elect's diet of 'just poison'
If a man with a brain worm tells you that the food you eat is poison to you, that should be scary. Donald Trump’s horrifying pick for healthcare advisor, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., had some interesting things to say about Trump’s eating habits. Kennedy was on The Joe Polish Show when he talked about the diet Trump keeps up with. You know, all that McDonald’s and Diet Coke isn’t exactly doctor prescribed. “The stuff that he eats is really, like, bad,” said Kennedy.
Congrats to the Sexiest Man Alive, John Krasinski
PEOPLE Magazine has a yearly competition. Are you hot enough to be the Sexiest Man Alive? This year, the choice is one that would make comedy nerds from 2005 to 2013 very happy! Our favorite writer, director, actor, Randall Park- ehhhhhh John Krasinski took the title. I am joking around. I am very happy for Krasinski who I love. But it would not be true to myself as a fan of The Office to not make a joke about Jim Halpert. You know, Jim Halpert famously played by Randall Park.
'New Girl's good boys reunite as the Sexiest Men Alive
Did you miss the boys of apartment 4D? Wanted to know what Nick, Schmidt, Coach, and Winston were up to? Luckily, PEOPLE had our best interest at heart with their Sexiest Man Alive issue because we have the New Girl reunion we’ve been waiting for. Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Damon Wayans Jr., and Lamorne Morris all reunited to be part of the new issue and talk about their time on the show. Which good, the boys of New Girl should have a Sexiest Man Alive title to them.
'That’s what you get for being an absolute clown': The internet is dunking on an extreme Fox News host after losing his Thanksgiving invitation
Jesse Watters’ own mother doesn’t want him around. At least you have that thought to find comfort in. His own mother didn’t invite him to Thanksgiving dinner and that’s hilarious. Watters is a Fox News host who allegedly cheated on his ex-wife with his current wife but then said that if his current wife voted for Kamala Harris behind his back, it’d be like “cheating on him.” So take that into consideration before you feel “bad” about the fact that his own mother doesn’t want him around.
'So Nick Fuentes was scared? Of a woman?': Nick Fuentes violently assaults a woman after brutal anti-abortion comment
Nick Fuentes really is the definition of f**k around and find out. He logged on the internet, told women “your body, my choice” and then internet detectives doxed him. He has…since confirmed it by opening his door when someone rang the bell and was afraid of women. Fuentes loves to call women weak. Thinks less of us as a gender and does seemingly believe that he can control women. So it isn’t surprising that people turned their anger on Fuentes and showed him just how strong women really are.
Disney+ sizzle reel reveals first looks at Andor, Skelton Crew, Ironheart, Daredevil, Chad Powers-- and I am left screaming for joy
A new sizzle reel for the upcoming 2025 slate of Disney+/Hulu shows really gave me everything I wanted. Or, at least, it gave me the shows I am most excited about all in one place. Thank you, Mouse! To celebrate five years of streaming, Disney+ shared a new reel that included all our new favorite shows. Really.
'I’m concerned for my family': Trump critics face fears of 'revenge' during post-election aftermath
Those who have spoken out against President Donald Trump are now living in fear. His MAGA supporters have been vocal about those who spoke out about him and now some fear for their lives and the well-being of their families. A perfect example of this is what Oliva Troye is experience. Troye used to be part of the Trump administration and spoke out against Trump at the Democratic National Convention.
Please keep Benji safe in the last 'Mission: Impossible' movie!
If there is one thing I never want to see in a Mission: Impossible movie, it is Benji Dunn in pain. That is my kind, my good boy. Now with the trailer out for Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, I am afraid of what is to come of him. “Our lives are the sum of our choices,” the synopsis for the film reads and while this is Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) story, I have a feeling that a character we love isn’t going to make it out. Which is why I am beyond afraid for Benji Dunn.
'Sick and toxic': Donald Trump Jr. is getting blasted online for disgusting anti-Ukraine post
We know that Donald Trump and his family are disgusting human beings but Donald Trump Jr. wanted to give us more proof. He posted a video mocking the Ukraine in their war with Russia and it is just as gross as you’d think. The video features President Zelensky standing next to Donald Trump with the song “Whoomp! (There It Is)” by Tag Team playing over it. A caption reads “POV: You’re 38 days from losing your allowance.” That’s not what POV means but that’s not what is important.
'Gladiator II' is a nostalgic return for Ridley Scott that honors the original
Ridley Scott has been one of our great filmmakers for generations and his film, Gladiator, is still held as one of the best ever made. With Gladiator II, we’re seeing a return to the franchise and while it is not perfect, it is the best taste of nostalgia for Scott. The film centers on Lucius (Paul Mescal). He is hiding his identity, hidden away after the death of Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix) and his father Maximus (Russell Crowe) in the first film.
