Despite the fact that he has no children of his own (if you don’t count the children he drunkenly lectured on his podcast), Bill Maher sure has a lot to say about fatherhood. Last June, Maher used Father’s Day as a springboard to complain that overly sensitive dads are the cause of America’s teen mental health epidemic — and not, you know, a global pandemic and increased economic insecurity.

As most of us are aware of by now, Texas Senator Ted Cruz recently sat for a combative interview with performance artist Tucker Carlson.

Mel Brooks, who gave us classics like Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles, was obviously a pioneer in the world of movie spoofs.

But the most glaring difference between “The Seinfeld Chronicles” and the rest of the show is the absence of Elaine Benes.

This weekend we’re getting a belated sequel to 28 Days Later, the 2002 horror hit that, in retrospect, looks like it was shot with the same camcorder used to document your uncle’s wedding. It’s no surprise that 28 Years Later exists, considering that so many people love the original film. But two decades ago, Danny Boyle’s acclaimed horror-thriller, pseudo-zombie movie took some shit from the young British whippersnappers who made Shaun of the Dead.
