I was hesitant to see “Moana 2,” as the response I kept hearing is that the story and songs are subpar and that its another sequel that doesn’t measure up to what proceeded it. After a month of discovering every screening was sold out, this wound up being my last theatergoing experience of 2024, along …

Turns out 2025 looks an awful lot like 2024 in one fascinating way. Media outlets still haven’t learned the lesson of the presidential election. If corporate media reporters ignore select stories Americans will find them elsewhere. And, in turn, keep drifting away from those calcified outlets. Case in point? Whitney Cummings’ brutal roast during CNN’s …

Barry Jenkins’ “Mufasa: The Lion King” is a visually splendid but overly familiar semi-sequel, mostly prequel to Jon Favreau’s CGI motion-capture 2019 remake. I’m not fond of either of the new photorealistic versions but still find the 1994 animated original to be enthralling. There’s a lot of nostalgia in “Mufusa,” which basically tells a near-identical …

Netflix led the woke wave with titles like, “He’s Expecting” and Hannah Gadsby’s “Nanette.” Now, the streamer is helping kick woke to the curb. The platform says goodbye to the year that was with “Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year.” “Roastmaster General” Jeff Ross invited some of today’s hottest comics to let loose without …

Almost all of us have an athlete or athletes in our lives. Certainly we know people who are politically active. A lot of us aren’t too far from someone who may have a “healing” interest in psychoactive plants. But do you know an apex-level athlete who was asked to run for vice president and openly …

Now, it can be told. President Joe Biden wasn’t capable of discharging his duties as Commander in Chief for large swathes of his single-term presidency. New reporting from The Wall Street Journal shared some, but not all, of the shocking details. The rest will likely come from tell-all tomes to be published in the coming …

Hollywood treated conservative Clint Eastwood like a second-class citizen this year. Warner Bros. dumped Eastwood’s well-reviewed film, “Juror #2,” into a handful of theaters before shifting it to Max. Is that any way to treat a legend? Was it something he said … or someone he voted for? Even liberal news outlets called the studio …
