The good folks at DC Comics publicity recently set up a Zoom call for me to speak with writer Kyle Starks and artist Steve Pugh, part of the creative team of the new comic Peacemaker Tries Hard #1. Unfortunately, technical difficulties arose, and while we tried hard, we couldn’t get Steve on the line (my interview with Kyle, however, posted last month).  Fortunately though, Steve was nice enough to take some time to answer questions about the book — the first issue of which is out today! — via email. We talked…

The Academy Awards stands as one of the most highly regarded and exalted events in the entire realm of Hollywood. Aspiring actors spend their entire lives yearning for a chance to secure a nomination and take home the coveted Oscar trophy, though only a select few ever succeed in fulfilling that aspiration. Though the ceremony itself is usually a solemn affair, the pre-show coverage is filled with effusive joy and enthusiasm.

​Within the space of just 10 minutes, Jennifer Saunders has shared three anecdotes, and rather than the stuff of the anecdotes themselves, it’s their balance – of glamour, glee and Britishness – that paints a distinct portrait of someone quite happy to dip into stardom and showbiz just so long as they’re home in time for tea. The first is about the night Roseanne Barr took Saunders and Joanna Lumley to meet an ageing Richard Pryor in a Los Angeles comedy club. The second is about the time Goldie Hawn flew her to New York…

Dwayne Johnson Has Announced That DCU First Chapter Won’t Have Black Adam ( Photo Credit – A Still From Black Adam ; Wikimedia ) Everything that has happened in the DCU camp at this point created ultimate chaos. James Gunn with Peter Safran as the new bosses of the studio are moving their axe very violently choosing almost everything that is coming their way.

The best of the bad I’ll be upfront here; I like Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. They move the series forward in several important ways, and there are moments here that are the highest highs of the franchise’s history. Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are also ridiculously buggy. The performance issues are so rampant that they will impact your experience, regardless of your tolerance for low framerates. This is unacceptable for the largest multimedia franchise on the planet. But you know what? I’ve had some hearty laughs…

What Twitter looked like back in 2011.Photo: Oli Scarff (Getty Images)Twitter employees left the company in droves Thursday, choosing to take a severance rather than stick around for whatever Elon Musk has in store. And that mass exodus left many Twitter users to assume the site will eventually just stop working. In that apocalyptic spirit, Twitter users were remembering all the things they loved about the site on Thursday, and I couldn’t help but think of all the hilarious tweets that have become lodged in my brain over…

A lot of video games have made me laugh this year. Trombone Champ had me rolling on the floor from the moment I first heard its nasty toots on my Twitter timeline. I got some good chuckles from hearing Rabbid Mario rattle off Italian gibberish in Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe slayed me with its sharp meta humor, only to crush my soul with its damning satire on the current “content era.” MARVEL SNAP GAMEPLAY TRAILER | AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE NOW Though no game released this year has me…
