2020 and a bulk of 2021 have no doubt been tough years, but luckily the Internet’s favorite organizer (and almost life guru) Marie Kondo is now back to help you spark some joy. Teaming up with Netflix once again, Kondo will feature in a three-episode series aptly named Sparking Joy With Marie Kondo.

If there was ever a comedy variant of Timbaland and Swizz Beatz‘s VERZUZ, Damon Wayans would want to battle it out with Dave Chappelle. The In Living Color writer and promoter touched on the idea during his recent interview on KBXX 97.9 The Box, after he was asked if he’s staying updated with VERZUZ. “No, I have not,” he answered, following it up with the question, “Do they do it with comedians?” The hosts immediately asked him who he would go against, and Wayans instantly answered “[Dave] Chappelle,” much to their delight. “I’m calling him out,” Wayans added with a laugh. Wayans retired from standup comedy in 2015 and is currently working on a new series at ABC with My Wife and Kids co-creator Don Reo. The upcoming family comedy currently has a working title of Let’s Stay Together and is ...

Simu Liu is speaking out and firing back at Disney‘s top executive, Bob Chapek. In a recent Q3 earnings call, Chapek discussed the rollout for Liu’s forthcoming MCU film, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, revealing that company’s decision to release the film exclusively in theaters for 45 days before it hits Disney+. The film is one of the very few Disney films that has a staggered release, instead of premiering simultaneously in theaters and on the platform. During the call, Chapek also commented, “On Shang-Chi, we think it’s going to be an interesting experiment. The prospect of taking a Marvel title to [Disney+] after just 45 days would be an interesting data point.” Liu, upon hearing these words, took to Instagram to express his dislike on Chapek’s choice of words. He expresse...

Following the success of The Suicide Squad, James Gunn has revealed some new unrevealed details for his standalone sequel to 2016’s Suicide Squad. During his recent appearance on the podcast Script Apart, Gunn discussed the evolution of his script for The Suicide Squad. The director interestingly revealed, “There was a time when I thought The Suicide Squad should fight Superman,” adding why Starro the Conqueror was a better antagonist choice. “I thought that was a very interesting story.

What he does is scary. He used to scare the crap out of me when I was a child, putting those facehuggers on Superman and Bat...

White Chicks fans might just be getting the long-awaited sequel they have hoped for. Marlon Wayans recently told Variety, “I think White Chicks 2 is necessary. I think we’ve tightened up so much that we need to loosen our ties a bit and laugh a little bit.

White Chicks 2 is writing itself.” The cult classic, directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, starred brothers Marlon and Shawn Wayans and was an instant box office hit in 2004. The film followed a set of FBI agents who go undercover as two ditzy white socialites to get to the bottom of a potenti...
