Adam Carolla Shreds DEI Poster Child Kimberly Cheatle
Adam Carolla is old enough to remember when “the buck stops here” actually meant something. It’s what’s said after someone makes a major mistake and is willing to face the consequences. Except there are no consequences in the Biden era. Hand Afghanistan over to the Taliban? Keep your job. Turn the border into a sieve? …

SHOCK: ‘Twisters’ Doesn’t Give Climate Change a Close-Up
Hollywood loves to lecture audiences on Climate Change. Screenwriters routinely insert eco-lectures into films and TV shows. Sometimes entire plots revolves around Al Gore’s passion (“Snowpiercer,” “The Day After Tomorrow”). There’s even a new metric by which films must be measured – introducing the Climate Reality Check. Turns out “Twisters,” the sequel to the 1996 …

Did Jack Black Cancel Himself?
Jack Black never flinches from supporting Democrats. During the Obama years, the “School of Rock” star promoted the ill-advised Iranian deal. More recently, Black joined a swanky Hollywood fundraiser for President Joe Biden. Over the weekend, Black crossed a bright, red political line. At least, that’s what he’s telling us now. Black’s two-man group Tenacious …

The Best (and Very Worst) Celeb Reactions to Trump Shooting
Tim Robbins once personified the Hollywood Left. The “Bull Durham” star was everywhere during President George W. Bush’s presidency, decrying the Iraq War and attacks on free speech. Robbins even got “canceled” by baseball’s Hall of Fame during one particular snit. He hasn’t been as active, or vocal, in recent years. He changed that at …

Here’s Why Hollywood Is Addicted to Sequels, Prequels and Reboots
It doesn’t get more Hollywood than “Fly Me to the Moon.” The Apple production stars Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum in a rom-com tied to the ’60s space race and the moon landing “hoax.” Big stars! A big budget (reportedly $100 million)? A sweet summer schedule release and the perfect counter-programming to kiddie hits (“Inside …

Does Hollywood Have Trump’s Blood on Its Hands?
Louis C.K. has the dubious honor of being the first major star to call Donald Trump “Hitler.” He was far from the last. Sarah Silverman donned Nazi garb to cement that connection during the 2016 presidential campaign, setting a “resistance” theme that included death threats, Kathy Griffin’s ghastly performance art and, just days ago, a …

‘Sound of Hope’ Dustup Proves Matthew McConaughey Right
Hollywood liberals like George Clooney can pen political op-eds to their heart’s content. Conservative stars meet in secret, keep their views off social media and fear being outed for not singing from the progressive hymnal. We saw the latest example earlier this week, something Matthew McConaughey accidentally addressed at Friday’s National Governors Association Summer Meeting …

Why ‘Longlegs’ Isn’t the Next ‘Silence of the Lambs’
Some movies define their genre in ways time can’t touch. Go ahead and make a killer shark movie. You won’t lap 1975’s “Jaws.” The same holds for 1973’s “The Exorcist” (possession thrillers) and 1991’s “The Silence of the Lambs” (serial killer tales). For a while, “Longlegs” evades “Silence’s” gargantuan shadow. It helps that we don’t …

Meet Outlaw Comedian Josh Denny
Being canceled has its privileges. Not many, mind you, but a few that matter for comedians who care about their craft above all else. Take stand-up comic Josh Denny. The Food Network alum found himself professionally canceled in 2018 for a racially-charged quip that landed with a thud with some social media users. His own …
