Wicked is, among other things, the story of how a corrupt and capitalist society refused to heed the warnings of a whistleblower when she tried to reveal the utter emptiness at its core. So why not sell a bunch of meaningless crap to commemorate her journey in our corrupt and capitalist society! It’s not like Elphaba…

In an update that is most likely for the best, the BBC announced this week (via Deadline) that Michaela Coel is no longer developing a new series with links to her semi-autobiographical hit, I May Destroy You. Back in 2021, Piers Wenger, the network’s drama director at the time, announced to fans of the series that…

From the moment Disney announced its Star Wars hotel—sorry, its Galactic Starcruiser—it was the subject of ridicule and indignation.

Jon Stewart returned to his desk tonight ready to talk about the fifth most important news story of the day: The so-called cancelation of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. Butker recently gave one of those classy commencement speeches in which he touched on the “deadly sin” of LGBTQ+ Pride, encouraged female…

Scarlett Johansson must be the only actor AI companies know. Months after taking legal action against another sketchy tech firm that used a deepfake of Johansson to sell worthless junk, the two-time Oscar nominee remains undefeated. Per NPR, OpenAI is “working to pause” the latest iteration of ChatGPT because, yeah,…

Not since an impromptu bullying trip to Qatar with disgraced English sports broadcaster Richard Keys and his “exceptionally Scottish” friend Andy has Alan Partridge’s fire burned so brightly. That was May 2017, when his masterful Scissored Isle aired to little or no fanfare. His phone was just not ringing. It’s been a…
