Fans of King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation lost a legend today. Actor Jonathan Joss, who played Ken Hotate on Parks and voiced John Redcorn in King of the Hill, was shot and killed in San Antonio in an act of an alleged hate crime.

It is hard to live in a world without spoilers. River Song would be struggling to keep the secrets. With Marvel movies leaking and set pictures being taken, we almost always are spoiled on some big reveal. But Doctor Who managed to have a genuinely shocking finale and it’s impressive. Throughout all of season 2 of the Disney+ era, we saw Ncuti Gatwa’s 15th Doctor lead with love as he took his companions around the universe.
Ah yes, as we thought: Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' is going to be HOT hot

4 days ago | themarysue.com | Rachel Leishman

Oscar Isaac as the ever enthralling Doctor Victor Frankenstein is something that many of us assumed would be hot. It feels good to be right about that. At the event for Tudum this past weekend, fans were gifted with our first trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. The film, which is a retelling of the Mary Shelley book, was originally going to star Oscar Isaac and Andrew Garfield. When Garfield could not be Frankenstein’s Monster, Jacob Elordi stepped in and the rest was history.
Watching the new shark movie 'Dangerous Animals' on a lake, just as terrifying as you'd expect

4 days ago | themarysue.com | Rachel Leishman

Shark movies are terrifying and I am always on edge but when you mix in a deranged serial killer with an obsession for them, my interest is piqued. That’s what got me watching Dangerous Animals multiple times and honestly? It rules. I was lucky enough to head down to Austin, Texas for a special screening of Dangerous Animals this past weekend. Now, you might be asking yourself “Rachel, you’re afraid of sharks. And you willingly saw this movie twice?” Yes.
‘On Monday I’m returning it’: Woman buys a Volkswagen Atlas. A week later, she’s done with it

6 days ago | themarysue.com | Claire Goforth

Earlier this month, a mother of four bought a second vehicle. She was looking for something smaller and better on gas than the Chevy Suburban she primarily drives. A Volkswagen Atlas seemed to suit her family’s needs. Within days, Roberts (@therobertscasa) says she seriously regretted the purchase. So much so that she decided to return the vehicle. Her TikTok about returning the Volkswagen Atlas struck a nerve. Thousands rushed to the comments of the post, which currently has 3.4 million views.
'Jackie kind of took over': Ralph Macchio, Ben Wang, and Jackie Chan talk fight sequences and 'Karate Kid: Legends'

1 week ago | themarysue.com | Rachel Leishman

Karate Kid: Legends hits theaters this weekend and if you’re a fan of the franchise, you’re in for quite the treat. And I was lucky enough to talk with the cast of Legends about the film! And talk about legends, I spoke with Ralph Macchio and Jackie Chan! The film stars Ben Wang as Li, a young boy who moves to New York and studies Kung Fu and Karate despite his mother not wanting him to fight. He needs the help of Mr. Han (Chan) and Daniel (Macchio) to try to win the Five Burroughs.
Ben Stiller teases that we could have other 'Severance' stories but do we need them?

1 week ago | themarysue.com | Rachel Leishman

As with every good show, there comes a time when fans ask how we can know more about the characters we’ve come to love. With Severance, it is all about the mysteries that Lumon is hiding and there is maybe a chance we could get more stories. Director, Ben Stiller, spoke about the series and hinted that there was a possibility for more stories from the world of Severance.
‘Women are paying for it’: Woman says clear bag policy at sports stadiums is sexist. Why aren’t more people talking about it?

1 week ago | themarysue.com | Claire Goforth

There’s a reason “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” is one of the most iconic American songs. Attending a professional sporting event is a one-of-a-kind experience. As thrilling as it can be, the stadium experience does have its drawbacks: long lines, high prices, rude people, and of course, the possibility of losing. Getting through security is one of the more annoying aspects. It’s arguably even worse than going to the airport.
Bravo's 'Real Housewives' franchise is, unfortunately, addicting to watch

1 week ago | themarysue.com | Rachel Leishman

Reality television “rots” your brains. Or so that’s what they tell us but I cannot help but watch as women with more wealth than I’ll see in my lifetime spend tens of thousands of dollars on a handbag. I’m talking about Bravo’s Real Housewives franchise, of course. Since the dawning of time (March of 2006), the Real Housewives franchise on Bravo has put rich women on their own show and it isn’t often for the better. Yet I cannot look away.
J.K. Rowling gave fans another reason to not watch that cursed 'Harry Potter' show

If you thought that having a studio on her would stop J.K. Rowling’s continued attack on the trans community, think again. If anything, the new money she’s been getting thanks to the Harry Potter series seems to be helping her cause. Rowling, who was once a beloved author, has turned into the franchise’s own troll in the dungeon.
