Baby Yoda Has a Name, and It Isn’t Baby Yoda (Surprising, I Know)

baby yoda ior something like it n the mandalorian
I'd like to see them try to tell me that I can't call baby Yoda "baby Yoda." I love you, Jon Favreau, but unless you put baby Yoda in Chef 2: More Food, I'm calling him "baby Yoda," and that's that!

The #BenSoloChallenge Has Taken Over as It Should

Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Ben Solo is maybe the only thing I care about in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. A character who I hated throughout the first two movies, his redemption arc, in a lot of ways, worked for me in a way that I did not particularly think it would. Suddenly, I wanted Ben Solo to come back to the light, and I cared when he did.

How Steven Universe Missed Its Most Interesting Story

Rebecca Sugar’s successful Cartoon Network series Steven Universe has come to an end. While the epilogue series, Steven Universe: Future, still hasn’t finished its run, it’s clear that the main story arc has been concluded with the end of season 5. Understandably, this news was received with much woe and disappointment—not just for the ending of something good, but also for its many open plotlines and missed opportunities.

Things We Saw Today: Knives Out Sequel Is Already in the Works According to Rian Johnson

Toni Colette in Knives out
Knives Out is no doubt a success. In a world where most films are remakes, sequels, or reboots, to have a film based on an original story make so much money with so many big stars is a real tribute to writer/director Rian Johnson.

Ben Wyatt and Leslie Knope
There are few shows that hit me the way that Parks and Recreation did. To this day, I cannot hear the phrase "I love you and I like you" without promptly bursting into tears, so a picture of Amy Poehler and Adam Scott hanging out together at the Golden Globes? It's making me emotional.

Do Trump Fans Even Realize Their New Hero, Ricky Gervais, Hates Him?

Ricky Gervais hosting Golden Globes
Here's the thing: Ricky Gervais, while not my favorite comedian by any stretch of the imagination, is an atheist who hates Donald Trump. So, the fact that MAGAers are now rallying behind him because he told everyone not to get political at the Golden Globes? Hilarious.
