Super Mario World is just perfect. It’s the ultimate distillation of everything the SMB series brought to video gaming. The level designs are inspired and endlessly inventive. The movement is intuitive, but very deep (you can do SO MUCH with the cape!) The character designs are filled with personality. There are…

Make no mistake - Dragon Ball Z was THE flashpoint for anime going mainstream in the U.S. When Cartoon Network started airing it on Toonami, it was an immediate sensation. Anime dubs and manga translations began pouring into America. That led to the rise of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh and other titles, and anime really never…

Dragon Ball Z airing on Toonami was THE flashpoint for anime becoming mainstream in the U.S. There were occasional anime dubs in the U.S. throughout the 80s and 90', but outside of Voltron no real big hits (and even Voltron wasn’t nearly as popular as the big 80's cartoons like Transformers or He-Man). Even DBZ…

Paul says his goal is to become a champion yet he refuses to get in the ring with even a moderately competitive boxer.  Most of his fights are stunt matches against aging MMA stars or NBA players.  

Some athletes are physical and genetic anomalies, and that doesn’t just end once they cross a certain age. Not saying Tyson is one of those

There are only three endings to Clue so it must have sucked to sit through the whole movie only to realize you got the Mrs. Peacock ending for the second time.

I’ve been trying to figure out why this feels so gross to me. After all, album variants are nothing new - the practice goes back decades, at least to the beginning of the compact disc era.

If this was a ratings stunt by SNL (and I have to imagine it was), they really didn’t lean into it. Other than his joke about it at the top of the monologue, very little was made of Gillis as some sort of ‘dangerous’ figure. If you were unaware of the original firing, you’d probably have no idea that Gillis was contro…

This was way funnier than all but 1 or 2 sketches from the show.  

Big yikes.

It’s a mixed bag. If you’re Joe Shmoe backup left tackle for Eastern Michigan, then $600 is better than the $0 you probably get for all your other NIL deals.

I think players will care.  Part of the reason the old NCAA Football series fell out of favor (in my opinion, not based on research or anything) is that it was weird to play a triple-A sports game where the players didn’t have names (for those who don’t remember, it was numbers-only because of the NCAA’s amateur…

I mean, Mr. Beast sucks and all but I’m pretty sure the Walmart workers who stocked his candy bars on the shelves would have otherwise spent their day... stocking items on shelves.  

I once met Rodney Anonymous of the Dead Milkmen at a show, and within 30 seconds he was telling me a story about calling a bingo game with Mojo Nixon after sharing an entire bag of magic mushrooms.

Toby Keith was an absolute titan of modern country, and always seemed like a good guy, despite a few hiccups that this article gets into. He wrote a lot of BIG hits that remain country radio staples to this day, and most of them hold up. I mean, admit it - “We’ll put a boot up your ass, it’s the American way” is an…

Bowen Yang Unhappy About SNL Booking Nikki Haley (According To A Post He Made) And Shane Gillis (We Just Figure) - AV Club

Hasn’t Swift already re-recorded all the albums she didn’t own the rights to?  I thought 1989 was the last one.

If you watch Shane’s Netflix special (which came out in 2023, not 2022 by the way) he doesn’t dip into ‘cancel culture’ at all. Certainly not the way many comedians with a similar fan base do. Hell, Chris Rock - who has never been cancelled in any way, shape or form - opened his latest special with a parade of the…

It’s truly awe-inspiring to witness history as it happens.
