Pixar’s latest film Turning Red has drawn a lot of controversy online over its portrayal of teenagers, and we’re kind of confused as to why.
“Turning Red is now available to stream on Disney+ and I’ve been enjoying watching everyone’s reactions to a movie that captures so much of my adolescent years that I kinda wonder if they stumbled onto one of my Mead Composition Notebooks. From doodling your crush in your notebook, striking a pose with your friends in the middle of the sidewalk, and having to explain why expensive ass concert tickets are so totally worth it, this movie fully embraces what it means to be 13.”
If you’ve been a film fan on Twitter for the last 5-10 years, odds are you’ve across a Tweet from the One Perfect Shot account. Now that concept is being turned into a TV by acclaimed director Ava DuVernay.

It appears that a major event for gamers won’t be happening this summer anymore.
“First kicking off in 2016, Electronic Arts has traditionally used the week of E3 in early June to hold its own EA Play Live event, during which the publisher would make many of its biggest announcements for the year. That’s coming to an end in 2022. EA has decided to cancel this year’s event, in favor of what sounds like holding smaller showcases focused on each new and upcoming game individually.”
Mike Myers is back for a new show on Netflix, and in typical Austin Power’s fashion, he’s playing more than one character.
“The Wayne’s World and Austin Powers star will play eight characters in the new series, which focuses on a secret society of five men who have been working to influence world events for the greater good since the Black Plague of 1347. ‘As this new series begins, one unlikely Canadian journalist finds himself embroiled in a mission to uncover the truth and just possibly save the world himself.’
