It’s not every day that the White House fires a shot across Saturday Night Live’s bow — but that’s exactly what happened this weekend after the NBC comedy opened its new season with an SNL cold open mocking President Trump and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
Walt Disney World President Jeff Vahle has stirred fresh outrage among Disney loyalists after referring to recently closed beloved attractions as “underutilized areas” in a recent interview.
James Gunn might be calling fans “racists,” but it turns out audiences are calling him something else entirely: irrelevant. The new season of Peacemaker — once hailed as the bridge to Gunn’s new DC Universe — is flopping so hard in the ratings that it’s not even charting on streaming.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s long-promised dramatic reinvention just blew up in his face. After years of trying to be taken seriously as an actor, his new A24 drama The Smashing Machine debuted with just $6 million at the box office — the worst opening of his career.
For decades, Disney was the rare American brand that managed to transcend politics and maintain high favorability. Families from both sides of the aisle flocked to its parks, its films, and its streaming service without a second thought. But that era appears to be over.
A new analysis from Jefferies, based on Morning Consult polling, shows that Disney’s favorability has collapsed among both Democrats and Republicans, marking one of the sharpest declines in the company’s modern history. The catalyst? The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! after false and inflammatory remarks made by Kimmel in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder.
James Gunn just can’t help himself. Just days after calling fans “racists” in an interview with GQ, the latest episode of Peacemaker doubled down with a storyline that many are calling flat-out offensive — this time targeting Christians.
Tolkien fans have called on Amazon to cancel Rings of Power since its inception due to high costs and a rapidly diminishing audience. But it turns out that’s a lot easier said than done.
The “Cancel Netflix” campaign has only been active for a few days, but Wall Street is already telling the story loud and clear through stock prices. Fueled by Elon Musk and conservative influencers on X, the movement is cutting into Netflix’s valuation at a pace that should terrify Hollywood. By contrast, Disney’s own recent cancellation drama involving Jimmy Kimmel barely made a ripple in the financial markets.
Will Josh D’Amaro become the Disney CEO? It certainly looks that way to mose, but the race to see who is going to assume Bob Iger’s throne (and office shower) is apparently far from over.
The call to Cancel Netflix is gaining steam, and it’s no longer just about one cartoon. What began as outrage over Dead End: Paranormal Park — a Netflix kids’ series with a main character who identifies with a gender that differs from birth and is rated for children as young as seven — has snowballed into a larger campaign against the streaming giant’s entire kids and family slate.
Rippaverse Publishing, the independent comic book powerhouse founded by Eric July, is teaming up with Hollywood actor Zachary Levi for a unique collaboration: RippaZine Collection Vol. 1. This anthology gathers the first five issues of RippaZine into a single volume — and adds a major surprise for fans with the debut of Tobias Thorne in a new story, Unpack That, created by Levi himself.
James Gunn called fans “racists” in a recent interview while admitting that he has no oversight from WB on DCU projects.
