Bill Maher has an idea for a new show: “The Real Housewives of the White House.”

The Real Time host opened the latest episode of the HBO show by sharing his reaction to the “shouting match” that took place earlier Friday between President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“What else is going on? Not much. Nothing comes to mind,” Maher quipped to laughter from the audience. “Oh, in World War 3 news, we’re on the other side now.”

The three leaders got into a tense back and forth during a meeting in the Oval Office, which ultimately led to Zelensky being asked to leave the White House. While Trump, Vance and Zelensky initially met before signing a minerals deal (which never got signed) that Trump said would have moved Ukraine closer to ending its war with Russia, according to the Associated Press, Trump...

The threat of a major armed conflict is as present as it ever was in the news these days. A seemingly escalating cavalcade of worrying reports could lead some people to believe that we are in the early stages of what could eventually become another World War. As terrifying as the prospect might be, the […]

What Movies Reveal About the Horror of World War 3 Written by Tito Pernalete for Fortress of Solitude...

The first reaction to The Expendables 4 have landed online, and they're very mixed on the new sequel. Some viewers call it the worst entry in the franchise, criticizing the action, CGI, and new cast. Conversely, others praise Jason Statham and the new cast, which includes Megan Fox and Tony Jaa, in addition to the gory, R-rated violence.

The Expendables 4's first reactions have dropped online, and they're certainly not all positive. Directed by Scott Waugh, the upcoming sequel sees the titular mercenary team, this time led by Jason Statham instead of Sylvester Stallone, embark on a mission to stop World War 3. While the first two movies proved popular with audiences, the third failed to strike a chord, and it's been unclear whether The Expendables 4 would be able to recapture the magic.

Now, ahead of The Expendables 4's release date, the first reactions to the movie have dropped on social media.

Olivia Rodrigo knocked it out of the park on her first try, with her instant classic of a debut, Sour. So expectations have been sky-high for her next move. But the suspense is over: Her excellent new Guts is another instant classic, with her most ambitious, intimate, and messy songs yet. Olivia’s pop-punk bangers are full of killer lines (“I wanna meet your mom, just to tell her her son sucks”), but she pushes deeper in powerful ballads like “Logical.” All over Guts, she’s so witty, so pissed off,...

The first footage from the new Expendables movie has arrived, but what songs are in The Expendables 4 trailer? Sylvester Stallone's action movie franchise returns in 2023 nine years after the last installment. The movies have proven to be quite popular around the world, as the original trilogy collectively earned over $750 million worldwide and brought in some of the biggest action stars from recent decades. Expendables 4 releases in September 2023 and brings Stallone's Barney Ross, Jason Statham's Lee Christmas, and others back for another adventure, which also includes newcomers like Megan Fox and 50 Cent.

Lionsgate finally kicked off the sequel's marketing campaign by releasing the first The Expendables 4 trailer online in June, giving it a chance to play in front of other major action movies all summer long. The footage leans heavily on the return of Statham and Stallone, teases the movie's World War 3-level threat,...

While audiences await word on whether a third film will happen, Top Gun 3 has begun trending in the United States for a bizarre real reason. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the action franchise stars Tom Cruise as Pete Maverick, a naval aviator who first tries to set himself apart as a prime candidate at the titular Navy Fighter Weapons School before later returning to train a new young group of graduates for a dangerous, specialized mission. While the first was just a commercial hit, Top Gun: Maverick became a critical and financial smash, setting the record for Cruise's highest-grossing film yet with nearly 1.5 billion, leading to questions of if a third film will be announced.

Amid recent tensions between the two countries, China came under fire as one of their spy balloons, which they initially claimed to be a weather balloon, was spotted flying across the US, with the latter eventually...

An exclusive preview of "Mad Screens TV" catches Spy vs Spy in a video camera booby trap.

Mad Magazine is taking on the small screen in their upcoming Mad Issue #12, “Mad Screens TV," and - Spoiler Alert - the magazine spoofs all comers. From nostalgic parodies of classic sit-com M*A*S*H and educational series Sesame Street to sendups of contemporary programming, like RuPaul's Drag Race shows, America's longest-running humor magazine finds reasons to change the channel.

The usual gang of idiots may be comic masterminds, but they are no masters of espionage. They leaked an exclusive preview of the new Spy vs. Spy comic strip. Written and illustrated by Peter Kuper, the 2-page comic strip follows Black Spy and White Spy as they play with their new, probably-government-issued, Acme TV electronic eye surveillance equipment toys. But they are not programming. They use video camera booby traps to...

While Sam Raimi has been keeping busy as a producer, on the directing front, he hasn’t been behind the camera of any feature film since 2013’s “Oz The Great And Powerful.” And while he’s lined up no shortage of projects including a remake of “A Prophet,” “World War 3,” the tornado heist flick “Stormfall,” and a Bermuda triangle project, nothing has really stuck (he even turned down “The Flash: Flashpoint“).

Sam Raimi is in no big rush to make his next movie, though he’s certainly been stacking up quite a few options. Perhaps the most high profile is a Hollywood redo of Jacques Audiard‘s intense “A Prophet,” while on the blockbuster front he’s taken a look at “World War 3” and the tornado heist movie “Stormfall.” Well, Raimi is putting another big project into the mix.
