• Bill Maher Uncancels Sage Steele for 'Club Random' Network

    Sage Steele learned the Gina Carano lesson the hard way. Carano got fired by Disney for not toeing the woke progressive line on social media. Steele, a fixture at Disney-owned ESPN since 2007, also got forced out after accurately describing Barack Obama's racial makeup and questioning vaccine mandates. Steele has been essentially benched ever since. Now, the sports personality is back, courtesy of Bill Maher. The liberal talk show host debuted his 'Club Random' podcast, a place tailor-made for...

  • Studio Mocks Christians to Promote Sydney Sweeney's 'Immaculate'

    Imagine a movie studio promoting a film by amplifying Islamic outrage against it. You can't. It's impossible. The same holds for most major religions. Antisemitism is flaring on the far-Left, meaning a movie studio would be loathe to target that community at this point. Christians? It's fair game. Always. Neon, the distributor of the new Sydney Sweeney horror film 'Immaculate,' is weaponing Christians offended by it to promote the indie shocker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5QmwQRU3Us Here's...

  • 'Perfect Days' Offers Peak Wim Wenders Storytelling

    Wim Wenders’ “Perfect Days” is the portrait of a life that might seem small and simple, but is full of insight, discipline, and steady rewards. It stars Koji Yakusho, in a performance that won him Best Actor at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, as Hirayama, a middle-aged man whose daily life is a steady routine of work and well-earned idle time. Hirayama wakes every morning, alone in his small apartment, where he readies himself for another day of working in Tokyo....

  • 'Late Night with the Devil' Possesses Satirical Sting

    Colin and Cameron Cairnes’ “Late Night with the Devil” presents itself as a documentary about a haunted episode of a 1977 talk show, which we see in full. Following a recap of how once-promising talk show Jack Delroy (David Dastmalchain) has hit a personal rock bottom and is struggling to keep his program on the air, we watch the show's final episode. Delroy showcases demonic possession as an effort to compete with Johnny Carson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeKYfneOH3o It helps that...

  • Bill Maher Schools Kara Swisher, Media on Censorship

    Bill Maher fuels mixed emotions on the political Right. He's been a megaphone for progressive causes for most of his decades-long career. His HBO showcase allows him to rally the Left against GOP figures, particularly President Donald Trump. Yet he's one of the most powerful voices, Left or Right, against the 'woke mind virus.' Lately, he's equally strong against his party's push to crush free speech. When even a liberal Supreme Court Justice can't acknowledge why we need the First Amendment,...

  • 'Land of Saints and Sinners' Shows Two Sides of Neeson

    Liam Neeson’s post-“Taken” career has been a blessing and a curse for the Oscar nominee. Yes, he works constantly as an in-demand action hero even as he enters his 70s. The films in question are often beneath him, generic tales that barely tap his gifts. There’s less time for films like “Rob Roy,” “Michael Collins” or “Schindler’s List.” “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” offers a bridge between his cinematic worlds. It’s more ambitious than recent Neeson titles like “Retribution” and...

  • Chazz Palminteri on Illegal Immigration: 'This Has Gotta End'

    Hollywood teems with politically active stars, from Rob Reiner to Bette Midler. Actor/director Chazz Palminteri doesn't belong to that group. The film and stage veteran doesn't weigh in on partisan matters. He focuses on his decades-long career, spanning his 1993 film 'A Bronx Tale' to lighter work on ABC's 'Modern Family.' Now, he's had enough following wave after wave of illegal immigration flooding the country. 'I don’t talk politics, but they’re bringing me into this,' Palminteri said on the...

  • Is Liam Neeson Trying to Sink His Own Movie?

    Liam Neeson's career changed forever following his 2008 smash, 'Taken.' Suddenly, the towering actor became an action hero after decades of serious screen work. He's been cranking out genre films ever since, including the upcoming thriller 'In the Land of Saints and Sinners.' The film casts the 71-year-old as a reluctant assassin hoping to turn his life around after decades of killing. Oscar-nominee Kerry Condon ('The Banshees of Inisherin') co-stars as an IRA terrorist....

  • These Buried Bruce Willis Films Need to Be Unearthed

    There will be no new Bruce Willis movies and that stinks. Willis stepped away from acting in 2022 after an aphasia diagnosis. He would later be diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, making a return to performing near impossible. He is, however, surrounded by loved ones, according to social media postings by family. That’s a small relief in the random cruelty that ended Willis’s career. The artist just celebrated his 69th birthday, and his being surrounded by so much supportive family far...

  • Is Billy Ray's Jan. 6 Project Hollywood's October Surprise?

    Hollywood knows how to keep a secret. For example, Disney shocked everyone by announcing a second 'Moana' film will drop later this year, a project virtually no one knew about until the Mouse House's decree. And stars and directors alike kept quiet about producer Harvey Weinstein's predilections until The New York Times' investigation effectively ended his Hollywood career. Could director Billy Ray's next anti-Trump project fall into that category?...

  • 'American Society of Magical Negroes' Hurts Race Relations Post-George Floyd

    Race relations in America took on a tense atmosphere in 2020 following the death of George Floyd. Protests sprung up nationwide, sparking the rise of DEI initiatives across society. Just as it seemed like black and white Americans could get back to engaging on a human level, a new movie arrives to set the flames ablaze again in the guise of satire. “The American Society of Magical Negroes” was a much-anticipated comic fantasy at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, but it received a terrible...

  • David Lucas Trashes BLM in Fiery Podcast Q&A

    Comedian David Lucas found out the hard way that doing 'crowd work' has a downside. Lucas' exchange with a heckler went viral after the comic evoked the late George Floyd. Suddenly, he felt social media's wrath, and then some. Lucas opened up about the experience on the “No Jumper” podcast hosted by Adam22, the former BMX blogger and talk show host. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJE7F7pwJBs Lucas dueled with a heckler in February at the Kansas City Funny Bone Comedy Club. The comedian’s...
