The second part of the 2024 TV lineup is approaching quickly, and it wouldn’t feel like autumn television without “Dancing With The Stars.” Set to debut soon, season 33 boasts an exciting cast generating a lot of buzz and positive attention. For instance, the viral Pommel Horse star, Stephen Nedoroscik – an Olympic bronze medalist – is eagerly anticipated on the dance floor. Recently, he made headlines for his humorous comment about displaying his legs on the show, which only adds to my admiration for him.

Dwayne Johnson isn’t just a globally recognized film star; he’s also physically impressive and towering. Despite his well-known background in professional wrestling, it’s challenging to overemphasize just how massive and powerful he truly is. Though Johnson embodies traditional masculinity on the big screen, the man himself asserts that true masculinity transcends physical might, a theme that will be further developed by his character in Moana 2, due out later this year.

On this special day, Friday the 13th, horror enthusiasts are revisiting their favorite installments in the renowned slasher film series as a way to mark the occasion. Some immerse themselves in nostalgia, while others mourn the numerous abandoned projects that never saw the light of day on screen. One of these unfortunate cancellations is Bryan Fuller’s Friday the 13th prequel series, Crystal Lake. To add fuel to the fire, a horror movie director has further disheartened those who were already dismayed by the series’ abandonment by stating that the scripts for the project were among the best he had ever encountered.

It appears that Joaquin Phoenix’s tendency to withdraw from projects close to their filming dates goes back further than one might think. As James McAvoy, who played the super-powered villain in M. Night Shyamalan’s films “Split” and its sequel “Glass,” shared, Phoenix was initially cast for these roles before McAvoy stepped in at the last minute. It’s difficult to envision anyone else as the villain, but Phoenix was on track to portray a markedly distinct character on the big screen.

As a gamer, I’m super pumped to share that come the end of this month, I’ll be heading down to Washington D.C.’s Hirshhorn Museum to catch an extraordinary double act – works by none other than Jean-Michel Basquiat and Banksy! This exhibition is set to run for a whole year, and it’s going to be nothing short of spectacular.
