Welcome to this review of this past Friday’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s show, which was a WWE Draft special – light on wrestling, heavy on talking!

Match #1: Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee def. Legado del Fantasma The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

The Lwo scored another victory over Legado del Fantasma when Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee defeated Angel and Berto in tag team action. The fast-paced matchup favored the Hall of Famer and the newcomer as a 619 and Project Dragon on Garza solidified the big-time victory. After the match, Santos Escobar revealed that it was Carlito that attacked Lee before WrestleMania before the Caribbean Superstar attacked his former Lwo teammates.

Nicholas Galitzine is talking about dating, and doing so while famous.

The 29-year-old British actor, who played Prince Henry in the 2023 rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue and Hayes Campbell in the new movie The Idea of You with Anne Hathaway, spoke to People about finding love in real life.

“I am acutely aware that I am so lucky to do the job that I do, but it, like any job, has its pitfalls,” he began.

“The transience of the job, never really being in the same place at the same time as maybe family or relationships, can be really difficult, really straining.”

“It’s why it’s important to have people in your life who keep you grounded and keep your energy up, keep you going,” he added. “It’s also important to take breaks and have time to yourself as a human being as well.

Paul Verhoeven's 1997 sci-fi war film "Starship Troopers," based on the 1959 novel by Robert A. Heinlein, is a vicious satire that lampoons the aggressive, unthinking language used to bolster unjust, fascistic wars. The main characters are all young, attractive, empty-headed grunts inducted into a meaningless 24th-century intergalactic war with a distant species of giant intelligent arachnids.

The most notable feature of Verhoeven's film, however, is the propaganda videos that periodically fill the screen. Clear-voiced, boldly preachy short films announce to the audience that the war needs to be fought and that the government needs as many able-bodied youths as it can wrangle to feed them into the soul-hollowing combat machine. "The only good bug is a dead bug," people growl. Anti-bug sentiment is high.

Also, the film is a comedy. Screenwriter Edward Neumeier ("RoboCop") strikes a broadly cynical tone, playfully dissecting the American war machine and the politicians who spoke of war as a grand,...

Anne Hathaway opened up about what she hoped to achieve with the intimate love scenes in her new movie The Idea of You.

The 41-year-old actress stars in the romance alongside Nicholas Galitzine. During a recent interview, she and director Michael Showalter were asked if there were conversations about “how explicit” the love scenes would be.

She replied by revealing what became the “North Star” to their onset love scenes.

Keep reading to find out more…

Speaking to Variety, Anne explained how she looked to Robinne Lee‘s novel that inspired the movie for inspiration.

“Intimate acts! In the book, Robinne describes intimate acts with the most unbelievable energy. In their first physical sexual connection, Hayes brings Solène to orgasm while [she is fully] clothed,” she recalled. “That became our North Star in terms of expressing cinematic sex in a way that makes it about her pleasure, while also making the point that...

Despite their rom com-heavy résumés, Anne Hathaway and actor-turned-director Michael Showalter had never met prior to collaborating on the May-December love story “The Idea of You,” which bows May 2 on Amazon Prime Video. Unless you count that one time at Beverly Hills’ Gucci Osteria, which in 2022 was the site of a dinner party to celebrate Jessica Chastain’s Oscar nomination for the Showalter-directed film “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.”

“I wanted to talk to Anne, but I was too embarrassed,” Showalter recalls of the soiree. “The path of least resistance is to just not talk to anybody.” Adds Hathaway with a chuckle: “I couldn’t figure out how to breach my wall of shyness.”

Months later, Hathaway conquered her timidity when she recruited Showalter to co-write and direct “The Idea of You,” in which the star of “The Devil Wears Prada” and “The Princess Diaries” portrays a 40-year-old single mother...

Country singer Walker Hayes was six years into his sobriety journey when he scored a surprise number-one hit, instantly giving him the biggest platform of his career, while also propping him up on the biggest stage to fall from.

That surprise hit was “Fancy Like,” Hayes’ humdinger of a single that touted the joys of a “Bourbon Street steak” at Applebee’s over a snappy beat and sing-along chorus.

The work of Robyn McCall and her team will continue for the 2024-25 season. The Equalizer has been renewed for a fifth year on CBS. The abbreviated fourth season of 10 episodes is currently airing.

An action crime series, The Equalizer TV show stars Queen Latifah, Tory Kittles, Adam Goldberg, Liza Lapira, Laya DeLeon Hayes, and Lorraine Toussaint. Jennifer Ferrin and Frank Pando recur, while Gloria Reuben and Kelly Rowland guest in season four. The story follows Robyn McCall (Latifa), an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background. She uses her extensive skills as a former CIA operative to help those with nowhere else to turn. To most, Robyn appears to be just an average single mom who is quietly raising her daughter (Hayes) and living with her aunt (Toussaint). However, to a trusted few, Robyn is The Equalizer,...

Cathy Schulman says getting into the movie business was a “bit of an accident.” It was a time before studying cinema was recognized as a fine art, so she was a playwrighting major at Yale. Then someone told her she would average about $1,500 for her plays. Concerned if she could support herself, she was advised to look into the movie business. “I said, ‘What’s that?’” Schulman, now the CEO and president of Welle Entertainment, recalls. “And the next thing you knew, I was in an interview, and I was hired to work on a set, and the rest is history.”

The movie was “Blue Steel,” and the-then 22-year-old Schulman was excited to see the film was being directed by a woman, Kathryn Bigelow. (She didn’t know it would be another 20 years before she worked with a female director.) From those humble beginnings, Schulman would go on to enormous...

Based on the acclaimed, contemporary love story of the same name, The Idea Of You centers on Solène (Anne Hathaway), a 40-year-old single mom who begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell (Nicholas Galitzine), the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet. When Solène must step in to chaperone her teenage daughter’s trip to the Coachella Music Festival after her ex bails at the last minute, she has a chance encounter with Hayes and there is an instant, undeniable spark. As they begin a whirlwind romance, it isn’t long before Hayes’ superstar status poses unavoidable challenges to their relationship, and Solène soon discovers that life in the glare of his spotlight might be more than she bargained for.

Coming to Prime Video on May 2nd.

The St. Louis advance screening is 7Pm on Wednesday, May 1st at the Hi-Pointe Theatre. (Suggested arrival at 6Pm.

A cuckoo bird is known for laying her eggs in other birds’ nests and letting the host raise her babies instead. Quite similar to a cuckoo bird, Sian, a middle-aged woman, invades the house of a couple, believing their children to be her own, in this British thriller. et in County Cumbria, The Cuckoo tells the story of a family of three who have recently moved to the countryside from London after the husband, Nick Hayes, loses his job and is caught cheating with someone else. His wife, Jessica, has given him a second chance, but since then, their marriage has been falling apart. Their teenage daughter, Alice, has become distant following their move to this rural region from the big city. Facing a significant money crunch, the Hayes decide to rent out one of their spare rooms to possible tenants for a bit of income. That is when they come across Sian.

The iconic actor, director, and Hollywood heartthrob Kevin Costner has long been known for his audacious decisions in both on- and off-screen roles (such as his Yellowstone exit). But his latest move might leave fans and critics alike with a sense of confusion—and maybe a little bit of envy.

The former star of Yellowstone revealed recently that he did cast his son in Horizon: An American Saga without even holding a traditional audition. The two-part story of the forthcoming flick has been Costner’s passion project. Entertainment Tonight was informed by the two-time Oscar winner about his commitment to the work on this Western epic.

Also, the actor, 69, acknowledged that the character he portrays in the film, Hayes Ellison, inspired the name of his son.

Horizon: An American Saga: Kevin Costner Defends Casting His Son Without an Audition

In an exclusive interview with Et on Tuesday,...

Hold onto your horses, folks! Kevin Costner’s Horizon: An American Saga is riding into CinemaCon 2024 to share the latest about the Yellowstone and Dances With Wolves star’s Western epic. On Monday, we learned the first part of Horizon: An American Saga, which will debut at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19. Still, attendees moseying into CinemaCon got a new look at the sprawling drama of how settlers won the West.

During the Warner Bros. panel, Costner addressed the CinemaCon crowd, saying the movie is a bit about the promise of America. The idea was that if you were mean enough, tough enough, you could take what you wanted, but in the process, you stepped on people who had been here for 1000 years. But the film does not pass judgment, and that story, to him, was drama.

Speaking about making the movie, Costner said he likes “Journey” movies. He...

Time to put on your spurs and don that 10-gallon hat that's been gathering dust in your closet. With his "Yellowstone" days potentially behind him, Kevin Costner is taking moviegoers back to the Old West with his multi-part directorial effort "Horizon: An American Saga," and he's bringing all his friends with him. That's not even a joke. The "Dances With Wolves" filmmaker appears to be competing with "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" when it comes to assembling a massive cast filled with big names and respected character actors. Having gone more than 20 years since his last sojourn in the saddle with the 2003 Western "Open Range," Costner is clearly embracing a "go big or go home" philosophy here. Personally, I just hope the Academy allows John Mulaney to summarize the plot for this particular Costner concoction when next year's Oscars ceremony rolls around.

With Warner Bros. preparing to unleash the first two parts...

Seth Rollins is often considered one of the greatest wrestlers of the generation. The current World Heavyweight Champion wrestler has headlined multiple events for the WWE. The star is known for his villainous persona in the ring and has even adopted the persona of a messiah in recent years.

One of Rollins’ most eventful matches was WrestleMania 31 where he won his first world championship after defeating Brock Lesner and Roman Reigns, after appearing in the middle of the match. The match is considered to be one of the greatest moments in WWE. A recent video showed Rollins subtly thanking Reigns while pinning him before the win.

The MonsterVerse franchise is an underrated contender in the cinematic universe wars, with a clear watching order that avoids confusion or an overwhelming number of entries. Part of the success of the franchise is that the continuity and canon are not overly complicated — well, it is a franchise about giant monsters punching each other in the face, after all.

After doing what all big cinematic universes do and expanding to TV — albeit with a really good show in this case, the MonsterVerse is back on the big screen with "Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire." The movie is set to not only bring the King of the Monsters and the Eighth Wonder of the World together once again but also bring a bit of a buddy-cop vibe to the MonsterVerse.

Still, as relatively straight-forward as the franchise is, there are still things you should remember before watching "Godzilla x Kong,...

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for next week’s episodes of the CBS soap tease more drama as February sweeps end.

Much of the month has been focused on love, including Eric (John McCook) and Donna’s (Jennifer Gareis) wedding, more Hope (Annika Noelle) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) movement, and new couples forming.

As the fallout from Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) romp with Zende (Delon de Metz) continues, the writers are teasing more time between the two. While Luna maintains she loves Rj (Joshua Hoffman), Zende could sway her.

Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) mother bear instincts have been activated, and it seems she is more upset than ever. Liam (Scott Clifton) continues insisting Finn (Tanner Novlan) is an issue, and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) proved that.

There’s so much happening right now; thanks to sweeps, the storylines will continue to play out for weeks to come.

Filmmaker-actor Kevin Costner is regarded as one of the finest talents in the entertainment industry. The actor rose to prominence by starring in movies including The Untouchables, Bull Durham, JFK, and more. Costner ventured into direction with 1990’s Dances with Wolves and received Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director for the same.

Kevin Costner starred as John Dutton on Paramount’s critically acclaimed show Yellowstone and has been appreciated for his performance. Starring as John Dutton marks Costner’s first regular TV series role in his career and viewers were highly impressed by him. But his separation from his wife Christine Baumgartner in 2023 brought his personal life under the spotlight and public scrutiny.

Adam Driver says "Who gives a s—t that it was two Italians back-to-back?" in response to being asked about portraying Gucci and Ferrari. Driver's acting ability is comparable to some of Hollywood's best thespians, in particular Henry Fonda. Driver's talent and career trajectory have allowed him the freedom to choose his roles based on creative fulfillment rather than monetary gain.

Is it fair to call Adam Driver the Henry Fonda of this generation? Driver’s versatility is certainly reminiscent of how Fonda could portray any role, whether it be Davis, aka the eighth juror, in 12 Angry Men or how he played against typecasting as the villainous cowboy, Frank, in Once Upon a Time in the West (1968). Driver certainly has that elite level of acting acumen, but Driver has, quite by happenstance, taken on the roles of two well-known Italians in Maurizio Gucci and most recently, as Enzo Ferrari.

Adam Driver confirmed he's done with Star Wars. Driver portrayed Kylo Ren, aka Ben Solo, in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. However, his character died in the last film. Despite the rumors, Driver didn't turn down a dinner invitation from Mark Hamill to discuss their roles in The Last Jedi because he didn't want to break character.

Don’t look for Ben Solo’s Force ghost in any of the upcoming Star Wars films or Disney+ series because Adam Driver is done with that galaxy far, far away. The star of director Michael Mann’s new film Ferrari recently joined the Smartless podcast and confirmed to the celebrity hosts that Kylo Ren’s days of losing his temper and wielding his unique crossguard lightsaber are over. Smartless co-host Sean Hayes asked Driver:

Is there any more talk about more Star Wars stuff?

Driver responded:

They're doing stuff, yeah, but not with me.

Anne Hathaway's upcoming film promises to be more than just a romantic comedy, exploring societal ageism, maternalism, and the intrusive nature of the media. Hathaway's portrayal of Sophie, a 40-year-old single mom, will showcase her versatility as an actor and her ability to convey strength and vulnerability. The project delves into important real-life topics, transcending the typical romantic comedy genre, making it a highly anticipated release in 2024.

Anne Hathaway's biggest 2024 movie is set to highlight her versatility, reaffirming her status as one of the best actors working today. Hathaway made her breakthrough into the industry in 2001, starring as Mia Thermopolis in the Disney comedy film, The Princess Diaries. She continued her journey in family comedies, featuring films such as Ella Enchanted, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and Hoodwinked!. In 2005, she moved into more mature roles, playing Jake Gyllenhaal's wife, Lureen Newsome Twist, in Brokeback Mountain. Anne Hathaway's...

Welcome to this review of this past Friday’s episode of Friday Night Smackdown, a Tribute to the Troops special, right here on Nerdly. Let’s see what went down on this week’s episode!

Match #1: United States Championship Tournament – Carmelo Hayes def. Grayson Waller The following is courtesy of wwe.com:

Nxt Superstar has come to SmackDown and stunned Grayson Waller to advance in the United States Championship Tournament. The brash Waller used his size advantage to down the athletic Hayes, but it would only take mere moments for Melo to prove that he is Him. One quick counter led to a First 48, and the WWE Universe was treated to a Nothing But Net leg drop from the top rope that saw Hayes punch his ticket to the semi-finals.

My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: United States Championship Tournament – Kevin Owens def. Austin Theory The following is courtesy of wwe.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 10, Episode 12 of “The Masked Singer,” “Soundtrack to My Life,” which aired Dec. 13 on Fox.

Oh, oh, here he comes. Watch out boy, he’ll chew you up! Oh, oh, here he comes. John Oates is an Anteater.

Say it isn’t so. John Oates, one half of the most successful rock duo of all time — Daryl Hall & John Oates — was revealed on Wednesday as the Anteater on “The Masked Singer.” Later, Keyshia Cole was also unmasked as the Candelabra.

The Oates appearance comes at quite a coincidental moment: He and Hall have been in the news recently after a falling out (and Hall’s lawsuit) over Oates’ plan to sell his share of their joint venture.

“I can’t really talk about it,” Oates told Variety last week. “I don’t really want to talk about it. It...

MSNBC wants a piece of the live events business, and it is bringing back a familiar face to lead its effort in the space.

MSNBC is launching a live events brand called “MSNBC Live” next year, combining live interviews and panel discussions, as well as forums and other events featuring MSNBC anchors and talent.

The cable news channel is bringing back Luke Russert, who served as a correspondent and anchor for NBC News and MSNBC from 2008-2016, to serve as the host and creative director of the event brand.

“At these events MSNBC regulars will be talking with some of America’s leading thinkers. It is our hope we can advance important dialogue and reach a measure of understanding as well as remember what makes America great — its unity in diversity and commitment to democratic ideals,” says Russert. “I want people to leave better informed and inspired to promote positive action.

A hard-fought battle between two of Nxt’s best highflyers went the way of Axiom as he bested Nathan Frazer in a fast-paced match-up.The speed of both Superstars was on full display as was their athleticism, as Axiom’s moonsault to the outside was soon one-upped by Frazer countering a top-rope maneuver by hitting a twisting neckbreaker. One hesitation by Frazer opened the door for Axiom, who hit a scintillating Spanish Fly and followed that up with a perfect Golden Ratio to win the friendly matchup.

Actor Kevin Costner and singer Jewel have sparked relationship rumors after recent photos captured them in an affectionate embrace.

The snapshots show Costner, 68, with his arms wrapped around Jewel, 49, whose full name is Jewel Kilcher, as she speaks into a microphone.

Sources report that their romance is still in its early stages, and they have kept their relationship relatively private. However, the duo spent a week together last month in the British Virgin Islands as part of a tennis fundraiser for Jewel’s Inspiring Children Foundation.

Insiders revealed that there was a palpable chemistry between the two while they were in the Caribbean. Although they tried to maintain discretion, their connection did not go unnoticed by those around them.

Costner and Jewel reportedly flew home from their trip together.

So far, representatives for both celebrities have not responded to requests for comments about the rumored relationship.

Country music star Walker Hayes is getting the the small screen treatment. The musician, who earned the Sync of the Year award from Variety‘s 2021 Hitmakers event for his song “Fancy Like,” will be the inspiration behind a scripted drama in development from Untitled Entertainment. Untitled has acquired the life rights of Hayes, who will also exec produce the project along with Untitled.

Screenwriter Justin D. James will write and exec produce the project. James also has several other projects in development through Untitled, including an action thriller and a soap drama series.

The Hayes project will follow an aspiring musician inspired by Hayes’ journey. Hayes himself rose from “addiction, poverty, loss and a crisis of faith” to becoming a Nashville sensation thanks to “Fancy Like,” a shout-out to Applebee’s restaurants that became a hit thanks in part to a TikTok video of him dancing with his daughter Lela to the song.

Exclusive: A contemporary scripted drama series inspired by the life of country music sensation Walker Hayes is headed to the small screen. The production arm of Untitled Entertainment has acquired Hayes’ life rights for the project, with Hayes set to executive produce alongside Untitled.

After hustling for nearly 20 years trying to make it in Nashville, Grammy-nominated Hayes’ 2021 song “Fancy Like” went viral after he performed a TikTok dance with his daughter Lela to the song. Since then, Hayes has cemented his place in the country music landscape and as a staple on social media. You can watch a video of the song below.

Per Untitled, before his success, Walker’s journey was one of great adversity involving addiction, poverty, loss and a crisis of faith all while being a husband to his high school sweetheart and a father to a growing brood of children. Borrowing from the details of his unconventional real-life journey,...

Gable knotted the contest up at one apiece thanks to a rolling German suplex in round five. In the waning moments of round six, Gable locked in an Ankle Lock, but Dar tapped out just after the bell rang, ensuring that the Heritage Cup wouldn’t change hands.

On Monday night’s “All-In,” MSNBC’s Chris Hayes took some time to “honor those fellow members of our profession who paid the ultimate price of bearing witness for all of us” in the war between Israel and Hamas.

Hayes was inspired by the shocking number of journalists who’ve been killed in Gaza during the conflict, which has been raging since the devastating Hamas attacks on Israel Oct. 7. Hayes called Gaza “the most dangerous place in the world for journalists right now, and it’s not even close.”

You can watch the clip at the bottom of the page.

Hayes noted that foreign journalists are only allowed into Gaza if they’re embedded with Israeli military forces, which means the work of Palestinian journalists in many ways makes them “the eyes and ears of the world.” Which brought him to the disturbing story from last week, in which a...

John also exacted a promise from Donnie that when Kayce called for backup, he’d get it.
