This weekend at the 95th Academy Awards, a robbery took place. Angela Bassett did not win Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever . She is the first actor to be nominated for an Oscar for a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and she deserved it! She should've become the first actor to win an Oscar for an MCU role, but as we know, that did not happen. Instead, Jamie Lee Curtis won a legacy award. Whoopee. It's wild that Black Panther movies are the only…

DC Comics has, famously, declared that Batman doesn’t eat p****. That’s because, “It's hard to sell a toy if Batman is also going down on someone.” So, they’re not morally opposed to it, per se.

Gotham City has no shortage of weird guys and girls wh…

There's nothing more endearing than watching religious children try not to swear. They shout “son of a biscuit” after stubbing their toe.

One of my favorite non-swear word is “gosh diddly darn." Aside from its obvious southern flair, the alliteration and the modification of “darn” with the far more silly “diddly” elevates this phrase to a p…

Back in 2019, Tom Holland told a story on Jimmy Kimmel of how he allegedly saved the Spider-Man movies. The story goes that, at the time Sony had rights to Spider-Man and was not coming to an agreement with Marvel for them to continue. During this time, Holland apparently was upset that he might not continue his character, so he wrote a heartfelt email to the chairman of Disney , Bob Iger.
