John Cena’s Peacemaker Introduces Eagley in First Look at the Suicide Squad Spin-Off: Watch
John Cena’s Peacemaker may not care how many men, women, and children he needs to kill to get peace, but he won’t hurt a feather on an eagle. Certainly not his pet bird, Eagely, who’s introduced in the teaser clip from HBO Max’s The Suicide Squad spin-off series. In the first-look footage released today by WarnerMedia, Cena’s heroic supervillain meets up with his new team of handlers at an Italian restaurant. Steve Agee’s John Economos mocks him for showing up in full Peacemaker cosplay, noting that “a bright red shirt and white pants aren’t exactly conducive to lurking in the shadows.” When Peacemaker introduces his pet eagle as Eagely, Jennifer Holland’s Emilia Harcourt asks if his pet dog is named “Doggy.” Maybe instead of Peacemaker, this show should be called Sh*ttaker, as t...

David Lee Roth Remarkably Almost Predicted the Exact Date of His Retirement Back in 1991
It appears that David Lee Roth predicted his recent retirement announcement 30 years ago, almost to the exact day. In the music video for his 1991 solo single “A Lil Ain’t Enough,” the longtime Van Halen frontman looks into a crystal ball and gazes into his future. At first, he sees a billboard that reads: “Diamond Dave And THE ABSOLUTE FINAL TOUR.” Then, a Delorean-esque vehicle pulls up, and out from the suicide doors steps an overweight, aged Roth.

‘Squid Game’ Writer/Director Appears to Change Mind, Reveals Plan for Second Season
Despite recently noting he has no immediate plans to develop a second season of Squid Game, writer/director Hwang Dong-hyuk appears to have changed his mind sharing a rough plan for a follow-up.

I see it on the global news that the police force can be very late on acting on t...
