Dan Soder talks with Screen Rant about his new HBO comedy special Son of a Gary, and how he goes about creating enough material for an hour-long set. For most, Soder is likely best known as the wrestling-obsessed trader Mafee on Showtime’s Billions. But when he’s not caught up in Bobby ‘Axe’ Axelrod’s latest billion-dollar endeavor/scheme, he’s touring the country, performing his stand-up and giving audiences something dark but very funny to laugh at....

WARNING: This article contains SPOILERS for Action Comics #978 & The Flash #21 Ever since DC Comics relaunched their comic book catalogue as a re-imagined New 52, fans have noticed more and more of DC’s previous history creeping back into this supposed “clean slate.” And with the “Rebirth” relaunch having changed the shape of the DC Universe as a whole, it appears the publisher is finally wiping the premise of the New 52 clean....

Titans has taken great strides of improvement in season 2, but one element continues to drag the show into the past, literally and figuratively - the flashbacks. As the inaugural fresh offering on DC Universe, Titans debuted in 2018. Billed as a grittier and more violent take on DC characters than seen elsewhere on television, the show succeeded in finding a following on both the DC streaming service and Netflix. Unfortunately, that popularity wasn’t always earned by the writing and plotting in season 1....

If Apple’s most recent hardware events were about going bigger (larger iPhones, a jumbo iPad, and a new Apple TV), Apple’s March 21st event is about going smaller. Apple yesterday officially sent invites to its much-anticipated event to be held at its Cupertino campus with the tagline “Let us loop you in.” The event, which was originally internally scheduled for a week earlier, will focus on Apple’s new 4-inch iPhone SE, a smaller, 9....

I expressed surprise on Monday that Tim Cook would write what I described as a ‘tone-deaf’ open letter on the Irish tax ruling, and it’s been fascinating to see the responses. In particular, I think there’s a significant difference in perceptions of this issue between Americans and Europeans. This difference does, I think, explain why Cook made what seemed to me to be a strategic error. My surprise was that he focused exclusively on arguing that Apple was obeying the law, doing nothing that other large companies don’t do – and the unfairness of the situation from Apple’s perspective....

One of the most iconic pieces of software design ever is the Clippy (or Clippit) assistant that was baked into Microsoft Office up until 2007. Users had and still have somewhat of a love-hate relationship with Clippy. Despite the assistant no longer being included in Microsoft Office, Clippy has lived on with a variety of different fan-made renditions, fiction stories, and more.

Elizabeth Debicki is the latest addition to the cast of Christopher Nolan’s new film. Nolan is now infamous for keeping details about his projects close to the chest for as long as possible, and his latest project is no exception. Warner Bros. scheduled the movie for a July 2020 release date earlier this year, but little’s been revealed about the film since, including its title and plot. All that anyone really seems to know at the moment is that Nolan is directing from his own script and plans to shoot the tentpole in IMAX, much like he did on his last three films (The Dark Knight Rises, Interstellar, and Dunkirk)....
