News, justice department, Trump, William Barr By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,2:51 Donald Trump has always surrounded himself with a rogues gallery of malignant toadies and sycophants. Movies, COVID-19, Jaws, Pandemic By Chelsea Steiner on Sat,12:07 This summer, be a Hooper, not a Vaughn. Big on the Internet, Black Lives Matter, Juneteenth, things we saw today By Rachel Leishman on Fri,6:00 Let's take a look at some of the sights happening around the country in honor of Juneteenth. Comics, comics, sexual misconduct, Warren Ellis By Kaila Hale-Stern on Fri,5:59 Warren Ellis, whose work looms large in the comics world, has issued a statement following accusations of sexual misconduct. News, Coronavirus, donald trump, masks By Vivian Kane on Fri,5:19 Trump does realize that many people see masks as being political, but we disagree on the specifics. News, Juneteenth By Princess Weekes on Fri,5:09 While always celebrated in pockets of the Black American community, the national holiday Juneteenth has taken off in recent years due to television, social media, and just the power of having so many Black academics and writers discussing Black American traditions in the public eye. I myself only learned about it about three or so years ago, and my mother only two years ago. For those unfamiliar with the holiday, now seeing it all over social media, here are a few things to note about it. AMP Featured, Movies, Diana Prince, Gal Gadot, Wonder Woman By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:37 So, to Zack Snyder, you have my attention. Please do not hurt my baby girl again. I love Diana Prince more than you know, and she deserves better than whatever Joss Whedon gave her in Justice League. Movies, Good Boy, interview, Steve Guttenberg By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:19 "Good Boy" is out now, and if you like comedy, this is a fun foray into the comedic horror genre with great performances and a fun twisting narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire thing! Definitely check it out, and I, personally, can't wait for more Guttenberg on Holey Moley or to see that play he's working on! TV, Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek (franchise), William T. Riker By Rachel Leishman on Fri,4:17 Good on Star Trek for continuing to honor the legacy of the show and Gene Roddenberry. There's a reason Trek has continued to be a beacon of hope for fans across the world, and using its name and platform to help the Black Lives Matter movement makes me proud to be a Trekkie. AMP Featured, TV, Mark Hamill, Star Wars (franchise), The Mandalorian By Rachel Leishman on Fri,3:15 "I love The Mandalorian so much," I said to myself while watching this episode, and I honestly have this feeling frequently. It's funny, because so much of this show is just fans getting to play with Star Wars. Big on the Internet, history, Midsommar, paganism, summer solstice By Jessica Mason on Fri,3:13 How come the first day of summer is also the middle of summer???? AMP Featured, News, Matt Gaetz, Matt Gaetz is a tool By Rachel Leishman on Fri,2:31 The entire situation is weird and complicated and just feels like Gaetz is using his "son" to further derail a discussion about actually doing something about racism. TV, Anthony Mackie, Disney+, Falcon and the Winter Soldier By Princess Weekes on Fri,1:36 Latoya Henderson, a makeup artist on Falcon and the Winter Soldier, is encouraging fans to keep their heads up about the possibility of getting to see the show sometime before 2020 is over. Girl, I hope. News, donald trump, impeachment, John Bolton By Vivian Kane on Fri,1:34 I look forward to never reading this book. TV, contributors, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power By Margaret Evans on Fri,12:20 In the lead-up to She-Ra and the Princesses of Power's final season, it was easy to question how the show might handle the redemption arc of Catra, one of its worst villains. The problem was not just that Catra was a villain; it was how committed she had been to pursuing her selfish goals at the expense of everyone around her. Movies, Channing Godfrey Peoples, Miss Juneteenth, Nicole Beharie By Princess Weekes on Fri,11:28 Turquoise Jones (Nicole Beharie) is a single mother and former Miss Juneteenth winner in Fort Worth, Texas. She decides to enter her 15-year-old daughter, Kai (Alexis Chikaeze), in the local Miss Juneteenth pageant in order to attain the scholarship money to ensure Kai can go to college. Big on the Internet, Black Lives Matter, Juneteenth, racial justice By Chelsea Steiner on Fri,10:24 This Juneteenth, we're making a conscious effort to support these Black-owned, nerd-centric businesses. TV, Juneteenth, things we saw today, Watchmen (HBO Series) By Jessica Mason on Thu,6:00 It's extremely timely that Watchmen will be available to watch for free on VOD and on HBO.Com from Friday, June 19th through the weekend. News, Matt Gaetz, Republicans, WTF By Vivian Kane on Thu,5:53 Republicans tried to hijack a hearing on police reform by talking about James Comey, Michael Flynn, and their secret adult sons. Big on the Internet, dinosaurs, Jurassic Park, Science By Rachel Leishman on Thu,5:28 Honestly, if the science is there at this point, just make Jurassic Park a real place I can go to. I'd gladly die getting to see a velociraptor in the flesh. Even if they are a lot smaller than they were in the Jurassic Park movies. |
