Prepare to be Thunderstruck once again! The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders are back for a second season of the Netflix docuseries “America’s Sweethearts.”

Directed by Emmy winner Greg Whiteley, “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” captures the unfiltered lives of the team (and those who aspire to be on it) on and off the field. The series was an instant hit when it debuted last spring, launching onto Netflix’s Top 10 worldwide chart with 2.3 million views in its first four days on the platform, causing thousands of viewers to attempt those high-flying jump splits. The streamer renewed the show last fall, and Variety exclusively revealed that seven new 60-minute episodes would debut on June 18.

Season 2 will follow the 2024-2025 squad, led by program director Kelli Finglass and choreographer Judy Trammell, from start to finish — kicking off at auditions and training camp and continuing through the ongoing NFL season — and the new trailer previews all the blood,...

They say lightning never strikes twice, but thunder sure does. America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Season 2 premieres on Netflix on June 18. This time around, Dcc director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell work to build yet another impressive team of talented athletes who can wow the world with their high kicks and jump splits as AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” blasts throughout AT&T Stadium.

America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Season 2 picks up ahead of the final round of auditions for the 2024–2025 squad, then follows those who get selected through training camp, heartbreaking cuts, the official team announcement, and into the NFL season. This season, just 23 of 36 veterans return to try and make the lineup, which means there will be a larger rookie class than in the previous five years. Finglass and Trammell whittled down the nearly 500 new submissions they received, and now they’ll assess the...

Netflix returned to the upfronts on Wednesday afternoon with a presentation that, at first, looked like it might be a production of Waiting for Gadot.

Initially looking awfully serious, Jude Law and Jason Bateman stood in respective spotlights on an otherwise empty stage at downtown’s Perelman Performing Arts Center in Manhattan. But the facade soon cracked. The dependably sardonic Bateman set up a trailer for their new series, Black Rabbit, as Law played his part and pushed one of the streamer’s chosen slogans of the day: “Welcome to the center of attention.”

The messaging has not changed since the last dog and pony show for media buyers: Netflix has achieved cultural ubiquity in a manner that no other streamer has come close. Naturally, it is the best place for advertising. Right? Right? Amy Reinhard, Netflix’s president of advertising, kicked off a one-ish hour spiel by reiterating that...

AC/DC is continuing along their 2025 Power Up tour, their first tour in the US in nine years.

The tour kicked off on April 10 at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The North American leg of the tour had a total of 13 stops planned across the country, with performances in cities such as Pasadena, California, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Tampa, Florida. The band will conclude the tour on May 28 at Cleveland’s Huntington Bank Field.

One of the most well-known heavy metal bands in history, AC/DC has sold over 200 million albums worldwide. Their Back In Black LP ranked the “Bestselling album by any band ever” and the “third bestselling album by any artist.” The tour comes in support of their 2020 album of the same, which became the band’s third #1 debut on Billboard’s Top 200 list.

Struggling with Split Fiction? Your partner letting you down? Well whether it’s during gameplay or a boss, we have absolutely all the answers you could possibly need. This guide will be your Split Fiction walkthrough for Mr Hammer, and more accurately, how to beat Mr Hammer.

How to Defeat Mr Hammer

Mr Hammer is the first proper boss of the game (and potentially a reference to a certain Batman: Arkham City villain), and introduces you to the real co-operative mechanics of the game. You and your partner have zero choice now; you have to be on the same wavelength throughout this chaotic and hectic boss fight, otherwise you’ll end up smushed on the floor by Mr Hammer and his gigantic hammer more times than you can count. Thankfully though, he’s not a difficult boss once you understand what you have to do over the three phases.

Cobra Kai may have closed its doors last month, but that doesn’t mean the story is quite over yet for the Karate Kid franchise. As well as this year’s movie, Karate Kid: Legends, there have been several teases for possible spinoffs from Cobra Kai itself. While fans wait for more news about that, the series’ showrunner, Jon Hurwitz, has shared an exclusive look at where the Cobra Kai journey started by revealing the fake trailer for the show that was created to sell the show to YouTube.

Spoiler Alert !!!This article contains spoilers for 'Cobra Kai' Season 6 Part 3

After stepping foot into the world with YouTube Red, Cobra Kai has finally come to an end. The series which continued the story of William Zabka and Ralph Macchio’s Johnny Lawrence and Daniel Larusso found itself a place in the audience’s hearts and let’s just say that the finale did not disappoint. Whether it was the sensei face-off, Johnny buying a house for his growing family, or the cuter aspects like Samantha and Miguel’s relationship, Season 6, Part 3 came with some unforgettable moments.

The following contains spoilers for the entire final season of "Cobra Kai."

"Cobra Kai" Season 6 Part 3 is full of moments straight out of most "Karate Kid" enthusiasts' dreams. For six years, the show has done fan service the right way, using it to say something about its characters, the past, and the present. When the first season essentially redid the original plot of "The Karate Kid" but with Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña) turning to the dark side and purposely using a dirty trick to win, it was to show Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) realizing the dangers of passing along the more aggressive aspects of the Cobra Kai teachings.

This continues all the way to the final episodes of Season 6, which are some of the best episodes in the entire show. We see themes and character arcs come full circle, hard-won victories achieved, and plenty of shocking moments. Arguably, though, one...

As the calendar flipped over to bring in 2025, it signified an important point in wrestling history. John Cena, perhaps the most decorated WWE performer ever, will have his farewell tour this year. As he makes his final laps in the squared circle, many have been reflecting on his amazing career. Of course, the people who worked with Cena directly during his wrestling days have the best perspective and anecdotes to share.

In a recent radio show, current Tna star and host of Busted Open Radio, Nic Nemeth, reflected with his co-host Bully Ray on working with the Cenation Leader. In particular, he pointed to an interaction regarding Cena turning heel or changing his character, a long-standing topic of debate among fans. During an episode of Busted Open Radio, the former Dolph Ziggler talked about working closely with The Doctor of Thuganomics, and some of the creative decisions that were being made at the time.

The hit docuseries “America’s Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” has been renewed for a second season at Netflix.

The first season of the docuseries, which captured the unfiltered lives of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders on and off the field, left audiences thunderstruck — or at least trying to learn the choreography to Dcc’s signature pregame routine.

Directed by Emmy winner Greg Whitley, “America’s Sweethearts” debuted June 20 and launched onto Netflix’s top 10 worldwide chart with 2.3 million views in its first four days on the platform. The series remained on the list of top 10 U.S. TV shows for five weeks straight and reached the top 10 in 27 countries. The “Thunderstruck” number became a viral TikTok dance trend (10K videos have used the sound) with thousands of people shaking their poms — though fewer attempted the high-flying jump split, further proving the squad’s “often imitated, never equaled” status.

Dallas Cowboys fans are not a happy group right now. On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles dismantled their NFC rival 34-6, dropping the Cowboys to a lowly 3-6 (and now 0-4 at home!) record.

Spoiler alert: The following article contains spoilers from 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 5, "Thunderstruck."

With only seven episodes to go, 9-1-1: Lone Star season 5, episode 5, "Thunderstruck," brings back one character who, in retrospect, could be the perfect person for Owen. The Fox procedural drama TV show created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Tim Minear follows the personal and work lives of first responders in Austin, Texas. More specifically, 9-1-1: Lone Star heavily revolves around Station 126, a firehouse led by Rob Lowe's Owen, a firefighter captain.

Owen moved from New York City to Austin with his son, Tk, at the start of 9-1-1: Lone Star. While Owen has been a great captain, friend, and father, he has also been unlucky in love for almost the whole series. His relationship with Gwyn Morgan had been a rollercoaster for years, even before the show began,...

9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5, Episode 5, "Thunderstruck," was heavy on Tk and Carlos as it explored how their relationship had progressed a year after getting married and Carlos losing his father. The latter greatly affected the former, with Carlos bent on solving his dad's murder, much to the detriment of his marriage. Series star Ronen Rubinstein talked to Entertainment Weekly about Tk and Carlos' marriage and what's on the horizon. He revealed that even if the couple had weathered this challenge, there was still more to come, and it might not be pretty. Later episodes introduce Tk's stepdad Enzo and stepbrother Jonah, leading to revelations that will shake Tk's life and marriage.

There are a lot of debates over whether animals have feelings or not. All you have to do is really look at animals to know that they do, and 911: Lone Star season 5, episode 5 gives us a look at that.

Caution: This post contains Spoilers for 911: Lone Star season 5, episode 5.

This episode has a few ongoing threads happening. Owen’s focus is on the guilt he feels for “giving up” on his brother. Just because the horse Thunder suffers from illnesses and is a bit of a mad one, he doesn’t want to see it put down. So, he focuses on finding a new home.

There are times that the best thing for an animal is to euthanize it. However, I don’t think it was time for Thunder. When he went off with his rider on his back, it wasn’t to cause havoc. It was to...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for 9-1-1: Lone Star Season 5 Episode 5 “Thunderstruck.”] The first Tarlos episode of the final season of 9-1-1: Lone Star features one of Ronen Rubinstein‘s favorite scenes they’ve ever done. With Carlos (Rafael L. Silva) obsessed with trying to find his father’s killer, there’s been a strain on his and T.K.’s (Rubinstein) relationship. They had to go to couples counseling, and among the issues? Carlos falling asleep during their “sexy time.” Rubinstein loved that scene. “My showrunners are very aware of my love for Brad Pitt’s career, and they literally kind of recreated that scene based off of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It literally says it in the script, the very first description is ‘Imagine Mr. and Mrs. Smith therapy scene. They even shot it that way and even situated us that way,'” he shares with TV Insider as part of our 9-1-1: Lone ...

It also teased some problems as he becomes obsessed with solving the murder, and he forgets he has a partner who counts on him in multiple ways.

AC/DC closed out their 2024 comeback tour with a concert attended by over 82,000 people at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland.

The rock legends ran through a 21-song setlist, opening with a one-two punch of “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It)” and “Back in Black.” The evening featured plenty of other hits spanning the band’s five-plus-decade career: “Thunderstruck,” “Hell’s Bells,” “High way to Hell,” “Dirty Deeds Done Dirty Cheap,” and “You Shook Me All Night Long,” among others.

The set also featured two cuts from the band’s 2020 album, Power Up (“Demon Fire” and “Shot in the Dark”), as well as some choice deep cuts from the discography such as “Riff Raff,” “Stiff Upper Lip,” “Shot Down in the Flames,” and “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train.”

A truly explosive encore of “T.N.T.” and “For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)” ended the evening and tour.

Standing 6.4-inches tall, the set retails for $34.99.

Meanwhile, another standalone Angus was also unveiled as part of the standard Pop! figurine line.

[This story contains spoilers from America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.]

The internet’s latest obsession, America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, has legions of viewers attempting the legendary cheer squad’s iconic “Thunderstruck” dance and, once again, talking about the hot-button topic of low NFL cheerleader pay.

The seven-episode Netflix docuseries brought viewers behind-the-scenes of the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders’ 2023-2024 squad tryouts, training camp and season. The Greg Whiteley-directed show has pulled the featured cheerleaders into the spotlight — much like the people featured in Whiteley’s other Netflix docuseries Cheer and Last Chance U.

America’s Sweethearts follows cheerleaders who were previously on the team, referred to as “vets” or “veterans,” while also introducing viewers to several rookie candidates — among them fan favorites Reece, Charly and Kelly.

Throughout the series, while the team is in training camp, an onscreen counter shows viewers the current number of rookies and veterans in the camp. The squad’s...

Rock legends AC/DC have hit another milestone, notching their first Diamond-certified single in the United States with “Thunderstruck.”

The song was certified Diamond by the RIAA after shifting 10 million equivalent units, which now includes both pure sales and streaming activity. Interestingly, the song hadn’t achieved any certification until now, with the RIAA awarding it Gold (for half a million units), Platinum (one million), and Diamond simultaneously.

Released in 1990 as the lead single and opening track on The Razor’s Edge, “Thunderstruck” has endured as one of AC/DC’s most recognizable songs with its frenetic fret-tapping intro by guitarist Angus Young and the anthemic shout-along gang vocals.

Not only has “Thunderstruck” remained a staple on classic rock radio and bar jukeboxes, but it has also become a mainstay at sporting events the world over. The intro to “Thunderstruck” can often be heard blaring from the Pa when a home...

Spoiler Warning: This interview discusses plot points from “America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,” now streaming on Netflix.

Last Thanksgiving, Greg Whiteley was on the sidelines at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas as the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders put on an electrifying halftime show with special guest, country music icon Dolly Parton.

The Emmy-winning documentarian, best known for “Cheer” and “Last Chance U,” and his crew had been filming into the wee hours the night before, as workers put the finishing touches on Parton’s stage (which had to be assembled in a way that it could be torn down in a matter of minutes for the game to resume) and the cheerleaders made last-minute tweaks to their formations.

“The cheerleaders get 15 minutes of uninterrupted prime-time coverage. It’s a huge deal. No other cheerleading squad gets this, and they get it every year, so they take it seriously,” Whiteley tells Variety.

A recent study of the most popular drinking songs reveals that AC/DC are the No. 1 artist as far as rock music is concerned. The legendary band has three of the top five rock songs on the list.

Whiskey retailer Flask & Barrel analyzed 23,425 Spotify playlists that made reference to drinking or partying in their titles, and broke down the results by genre.

According to the results, hip-hop is the most popular genre when it comes to drinking, with Usher’s “Yeah!” (featuring Lil Jon & Ludacris) the No. 1 song overall. Classic rock followed as the second most popular style of music for drinkers.

As far as the rock tunes are concerned, AC/DC claim the No. 1 (“Thunderstruck”), No. 2 (“Highway to Hell”) and No. 4 (“Back in Black”) songs, with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” and The Eagles’ “Hotel California” landing in the No. 3 and No. 5 spots, respectively.

Professional basketball player Kevin Durant recently made headlines when he was seen hugging rapper Yung Miami in a video. The video had fans buzzing about a potential romance between the two as the NBA legend was also seen making googly eyes at the musician. While Durant eyed the rapper for a quick second, the Internet was quick to come to conclusions.

Durant has never been married, and while he has had some high-profile girlfriends before, the basketball player has not been seen with anyone in the recent past. However, rapper Yung Miami was in a relationship with fellow rapper Diddy until 2023. Diddy was reportedly accused of sexual harassment and several lawsuits were filed against the rapper.

AC/DC’s iconic hard-rock anthem “Back in Black” has surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube, marking the second time the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame act has achieved the milestone.

The legendary band previously hit 1 billion views with “Thunderstruck,” which has since added roughly 400 million more views for a total of 1.39 billion.

Only a select group of hard rock songs have reached the 1 billion mark, with Linkin Park’s “Numb” leading the way at 2.17 billion and Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain” just behind at 2.13 billion. Overall, Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito” featuring Daddy Yankee leads all music videos with a whopping 8.37 billion views.

“Back in Black” is the title track to one of the biggest-selling rock albums of all time. The 1980 LP has sold an estimated 50 million copies worldwide.

Ryan Reynolds isn’t the only Deadpool 3 star hitting the gym again now that the SAG-AFTRA strike is over. So is his costar Hugh Jackman, who is looking seriously jacked.

If you missed it, earlier this week Ryan‘s wife Blake Lively shared some “thirst content” of her “fine ass husband” working up a sweat. Hugh, who is reprising the role of Wolverine in the new movie, responded with a fiery video showing off his own superhuman strength!

Head inside to see Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine workout…

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday (November 15), Hugh shared a video of himself lifting an impressive amount of weight. He soundtracked the clip using AC/DC‘s anthem “Thunderstruck.”

In the accompanying caption he wrote, “Lfg #becomingwolverineagain(again).”

This is a reference to the fact that filming on Deadpool 3 was paused for around four months due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, which ended on November 10 after 118 days.

AC/DC took to the stage for the first time in seven years on Saturday night of the Power Trip festival.

It was the first time lead vocalist Brian Johnson performed live with the group since September 2016 in Philadelphia, following a 79-date Rock or Bust world tour. The ill-fated trek required the services of Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose for the final 22 stops after Johnson bowed out with hearing loss issues.

Saturday’s lineup also saw Matt Laug step in for drummer Phil Rudd, while longtime bassist Cliff Williams...

AC/DC played their first show in seven years on Saturday night (October 7th) at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California. The evening also featured a set by fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Judas Priest.

For this Power Trip gig, AC/DC’s lineup featured classic members Brian Johnson (vocals), Angus Young (lead guitar), and Cliff Williams (bass) alongside Stevie Young (rhythm guitar) and drummer Matt Laug.

Guns N’ Roses and Iron Maiden set the bar high at Power Trip the night before, but AC/DC were up to the challenge, showing no signs of rust as they ripped into “If You Want Blood (You’ve Got It),” marking the first time they’ve ever kicked off a set with the Highway to Hell song.

From there, the 24-song set featured one classic after another, with the very next tune being the iconic “Back in Black,” followed by other favorites like “Thunderstruck,...

They did! Kristin Chenoweth and Josh Bryant are officially husband and wife.

According to People, the “Wicked” actress and the musician tied the knot during a wedding ceremony in Dallas, Texas on Saturday. For the ceremony, the bride wore a nontraditional wedding gown by Pamela Rowland. In a elegant twist, the 55-year-old’s gown included a sheer pink and nude pink overlay with pearl flowers on the bodice.

Meredith Grey and Derek Shepherd's wedding Post-it note continued to play an important part in Meredith's story as it made a surprising return in season 19 of Grey's Anatomy. First appearing in the season 5, episode 24, "Now or Never", the wedding Post-it note was an idea concocted by Derek after he and Meredith decided to get married but struggled to attend their appointment at City Hall. With so much drama and chaos unfolding at the hospital, Derek told Meredith that they should write their marriage vows down on the Post-it note and then sign it to seal their commitment to one another.

Although Meredith and Derek officially got married in season 7's "White Wedding", the blue Post-it continued to play an important part in their relationship as the couple occasionally referred back to their it whenever they got into fights and were on the verge of breaking up. It was...

Dead Island 2 is at its best when the game is just letting you kill as many zombies as possible in the twisted town of Hell-A. Of course, the game is even more fun when you pick the playable slayer that lets you kill as many zombies as possible as effectively as possible.

While all of Dead Island 2‘s playable characters can get you through the game, some are simply better than others. That being the case, here’s a power ranking of every playable character in the game and why you should (or shouldn’t) pick them.

6. Bruno

Backstab: Bruno gets a moderate Damage boost when attacking zombies from behind.

Rapid Reprisal: Boost Bruno’s Agility and Heavy Attack Charges when he avoids attacks with a Block or Dodge.

Buno is Dead Island 2‘s version of the basic Rogue archetype, which means he boasts high critical damage and is looking to backstab zombies.

After many years since the first game's release, Dead Island 2 is finally here with six new playable characters known as Slayers. The six Slayers will each have two innate abilities to start off the game in addition to a Skill Deck that can be used to build on those and customize the character fully.

The six Slayers are Bruno, Dani, Amy, Jacob, Ryan, and Carla. While there is no wrong option to choose since the Skill Deck allows players to really shape their character, the Slayer cannot be changed mid-game and there are certain reasons some players may prefer kicking off their game with one over another.

Chris Pratt's involvement in The Super Mario Bros. Movie means it began a surprising trend for his 2023 movies. Nintendo and Illumination's animated movie takes audiences into Mario's world like never before. This includes showing where Mario comes from as an Italian plumber who resides in Brooklyn, New York before he stumbles into a Warp Pipe and becomes part of a bigger story. The Super Mario Bros. does still pay homage to the character's decades of video games in several ways, including replicating specific levels, featuring a plethora of known characters, and Easter eggs meant to fuel audiences' nostalgic feelings.

One of the underappreciated aspects of The Super Mario Bros. Movie is its soundtrack. On top of Jack Black's original song "Peaches" playing in the film, the song selection includes choices from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The Super Mario Bros. Movie uses some very recognizable tunes as...

This article contains mild spoilers for "The Super Mario Bros. Movie."

Aaron Horvath's and Michael Jelenic's "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" contains multiple, perhaps-obvious, pop music cues that accent the film's many action sequences. Early in the film, when Mario (Chris Pratt) and Luigi (Charlie Day) have to traverse a dangerous Brooklyn street on the way to a much-needed plumbing job, The Beastie Boys' 1987 hit "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," from their album "Licensed to Ill" plays on the soundtrack. The line "Our manager's crazy, he always smokes dust" is tactfully omitted. Later in the film, when Mario, Princess Peach (Anya Taylor-Joy), and Toad (Keegan-Michael Key) have to build and drive their own high-octane go-karts, the opening rock strains of AC/DC's 1990 song "Thunderstruck," punctuates the construction.

Both of these music cues have some thematic logic. The more baffling needle drop is the placement of A-ha's 1985 chart-topper "Take on Me,...

The Queen’s former piper, Pipe Major Scott Methven has recalled how King Charles III – formerly known as the Prince of Wales – once asked him to play AC/DC at an event.

The professional bagpiper – who has performed at other events including Sting’s 60th birthday party in 2012 – said that he was able to have a “good laugh” with the royal family.

"I remember one night, it was just the Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, and several other members of the family. The invited guests hadn’t arrived so I said I would mix it up and I did movies on the bagpipes,” he said.

"I would go around the tables and it would be like Top Gun and the Prince of Wales (now King Charles) had asked if I could do AC/DC ‘Thunderstruck’.”

Methven also recalled the “banter” that he shared with the Queen during his four years living at Buckingham Palace.

Parkland Pictures, Bankside Films and WME handle international sales on four awarded features.

Screen Australia has selected four features to receive production funding in its latest round of awards including a 1930s-set romantic comedy inspired by Australia’s first female commercial pilot.

The titles are Little Bird, directed by Darren Ashton; Samuel Van Grinsven’s thriller Went Up The Hill; Jon Bell’s psychological horror The Moogai; and Marcelle Lunam’s romantic comedy Addition.

The government agency has approved 8.2m (AU12m) to be shared among the features as well as three TV dramas and two children’s projects.

And just like that, winter has come again. HBO Max’s list of new releases for August 2022 is highlighted by the return of the king. Or more accurately: the return of the queen … of the Seven Kingdoms.

Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon is set to premiere on HBO and HBO Max on Aug. 21, just over three years after Game of Thrones concluded in controversial fashion with “The Iron Throne.” This new series is a prequel, depicting the civil war known as the Dance of the Dragons from George R.R. Martin’s lore. When dragon fights dragon, the realm will be torn asunder. But the viewer will certainly delight in all the Targaryen action.

Houston — Nineteen children and two adults were murdered at the Robb Elementary School, in part because the gun lobby has made it legal for 18-year-olds in Texas to buy weapons designed for mass killing.

But to hear National Rifle Association honcho Wayne Lapierre tell it, the real victim here is the NRA.

Lapierre took the stage of the National Rifle Association’s governance meeting Saturday to the strains of AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” and delivered an angry address in which he painted the NRA as the target of “weaponized government.
