Ray Fisher Confirms Removal From The Flash, Continues to Advocate For Accountability at WarnerMedia

Ray Fisher in Justice League (2017)

If anything, I hope it will make young Black stars be more vocal about standing up for themselves, but also make them expect more from their non-Black coworkers.

Macaulay Culkin Is All for Removing That Trumpish Extra Who Wandered Onto the Home Alone 2 Set

An edited image covering Trump's face from Home Alone 2

It's not the longest cameo in the world, and there's no way anyone involved in 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' would've had the sense to timewarp to the future to see who Donald Trump would become, but when I see the scene it ruins my childhood dreams of going to the Plaza Hotel and harassing Tim Curry.

Marvel’s WandaVision Tackles Time-Period Sexism in a Fun Way

Wanda Maximoff talks about married men killing single men at an alarming rate in Marvel and Disney+'s WandaVision.

New Mortal Kombat Film Director Promises ‘Gore, Blood, and Fatalities’

Mortal Kombat (2021)

Netflix dropped its first trailer for I Care a Lot, starring Rosamund Pike, and it's a deliciously twisted story that we can't wait to watch on February 19, 2021.
