Blevins told popular YouTubers Keemstar and FaZe Banks (owner of mega esports team, FaZe Clan) on their new show, Mom’s Basement, about his family’s appearance on Family Feud years ago. It’s an adorable trip to see a young Blevins shyly answering questions on Family Feud, but Blevins told Keemstar and Banks that it was also a monumental moment for the show. Blevins said his family was the first to submit a video application for the show instead of auditioning in person. Since then, Blevins has b

Red Dead Redemption 2 goes back a dozen yearsRockstar sent out an updated synopsis for Red Dead Redemption 2 along with today’s trailer, confirming the timeline for this prequel: The game takes place in 1899. That puts it 12 years prior to the events of Red Dead Redemption, which are primarily set in 1911. Well, for one thing, it’s exceedingly unlikely that we’ll see any cars in Red Dead Redemption 2.

Howard is, of course, the narrator (and executive producer) of Arrested Development, the funniest TV sitcom of all time. In a new episode of Lucasfilm’s The Star Wars Show, Howard gives the Skywalker family the same narrative treatment he gave the Bluths, summarizing their interfamilial conflict and, uh, occasional incestuous relationships. “Arrested Development: Star Wars with Ron Howard” stays faithful to the former Fox sitcom — which is coming back to Netflix this weekend for a remixed season

Iron Man needed to pay offIron Man was the MCU’s baby. Iron Man turned Tony Stark into a hero we really cared about. It all started with Iron Man in 2008, but by 2012 it was Iron Man that caused the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it to take shape. The Iron Man we meet in Infinity War is defined by his mistakes as much as his successes. But the mark Iron Man left on me, and millions of other people, is something I will always treasure.

Cobra Kai is billed as a comedy-drama, which may give some fans pause, but remember there was lot of comedy in the original movies. And now he gets a face turn, reopening the dojo to misfits and picked-ons and giving them that Cobra Kai killer instinct, which concerns Daniel. Cobra Kai is clocking in at more than twice as long — 10 half-hour episodes, so there is more musical space to explore.
