“The Witcher” is a series of novels, video games, comics and short stories that follow the monster hunter Geralt. Fresh off of “Mission Impossible: Fallout” Henry Cavill has taken on the lead role, and Netflix released his screen test with the role.
Adorning a long white wig, the “Superman” actor looks like a pimped out Legolas, and not in a good way. I’m not familiar with “The Witcher” series, so this probably won’t be my cup of tea regardless, but honestly, I think this screen test makes him look ridiculously stiff and corny. He looks like he wishes he was a “Game of Thrones” character.
You would think a big production like this would throw more money for a decent wig, instead of this Party City knockoff thrown on his head.
This is what Henry Cavill decided to do to stick it to DC, showing he doesn’t need to be “Superman.” I don’t see this as inspiring confidence in him or making the DC movie executives shake in their boots. If anything, this should solidify him on his way out of the limelight.
What do you think? Are you familiar with “The Witcher” and whether you are or not, will you give it a try once it comes to Netflix? Do you find Cavill’s wig equally ridiculous? Let me know in the comments below.
“Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof” unless you’re President Trump.
Pharrell Williams’ lawyer sent President Trump a cease-and-desist order to stop playing "Happy" at his rallies, after he did so on the same day as the Pittsburgh synagogue mass shooting: "There was nothing 'happy' about the tragedy inflicted upon our country on Saturday." pic.twitter.com/isISqc6kTE
After playing the Pharrell Williams song “Happy” at one of his rallies, President Trump has been threatened with a lawsuit by the singer.
The song, originally attached to “Despicable Me 2” has become, whether you like it or not, a staple of the times. You can’t walk through a grocery store or a mall without hearing it. And let’s not forget about when he performed at the Oscars and did the shimmy with Lupita Nyong’o and Meryl Streep!
Are Trump supporters big Pharrell fans? Would they really become happier after hearing “Happy?” I don’t think so, but honestly, I can’t be sure. I can totally see where Pharrell is coming from. He doesn’t want his name, his song or himself at all associated with Trump, and I can’t blame him for that.
Do you think Pharrell is in his rights or just being dramatic? Let me know in the comments below.
October seemed especially packed with new television shows to watch, from Netflix, Hulu, the Paramount Network and regular cable as well. I’m going to attempt to break down some of the best shows released within the past month so you can decide what you want to spend your time watching.
“The Haunting of Hill House”

Netflix’s new miniseries, based on the 1959 gothic horror novel, is basically “This is Us” taking place in a haunted house, but not in a ridiculous or corny way. Interspliced between the past and present, the show follows a family of five kids living with their parents (the dad is the boy from “ET” and the mom is the mom from “Spy Kids”) in a haunted house. The other half of the show takes place when the kids are all grown up, out of the house and still reliving the trauma from their childhood.
One of the more interesting elements of the show is the ghosts hidden in the background. In almost every scene taking place inside the haunted house, there’s at least one ghost just chilling in the shadows. It adds an extra level of creepiness to it and rewards those who pay close attention.
If you’re like me and want to like “This is Us” but find it too melodramatic and corny, “The Haunting of Hill House” might be for you.
“Heathers”
The much-troubled television reboot of “Heathers” is finally here. Photo courtesy of Paramount Network
Based on the 80’s cult classic, Paramount Network’s TV reboot of “Heathers” has had a rocky start, to say the least. Originally planned to be released this past spring, it was indefinitely delayed following the Parkland school shooting on Valentine’s Day, since the show deals with school shootings, suicides and bomb threats. It was released this past week, but after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting the network took it off the air, but it’s still available to stream.
This show is honestly one of the gayest things I’ve ever seen. It attacks PC culture, as well as modern high school life, painting everyone and everything in a satirical lens. Rather than having the Heathers be pretty white girls like in the 80’s movie, this version of the Heathers features a plus-sized leader, a gay Heather and a black girl to lead out the trio.
The show makes fun of everyone and everything, but its ridiculous and catty dialogue make it endlessly quotable, but also overtly insane. Most people will probably hate it, and I’m honestly not sure if I’ll be able to make it all the way through the nine episode season, but we’ll see.
“The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”

Do you remember Melissa Joan Hart’s 90’s show “Sabrina: The Teenage Witch?” Well forget everything you thought you knew about the sitcom because Netflix has revamped it in “Riverdale” fashion. Taking a dark and brooding look at the teenaged witch, the show is less comedy and more horror, dealing with Satanists and chilling murders.
Halloween may be over, but you can still stream the entirety of “The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” on Netflix.
What have you been watching this month? Let me know in the comments below.
Another Apple event was hosted October 30th and the company introduced new products once again changing the electronic game even more than it already has this year alone.
The first product the company introduced is the new and improved iPad Pro. According to the company site this product will be available in two sizes, 11 inches and 12.9 inches. This new product, unlike the others of its kind, includes an “all-new all-screen design” and face ID. The iPad includes an A12X Bionic chip which according to the tech company is the most powerful chip they have ever made because it can run five trillion operations per second. Because of this, multitasking will be a walk in the park while operating this new device. This thin computer like object will allow you to make a facetime calls, write a paper, and message a friend all at the same time. As if all of this wasn’t already appealing and a sure way to have you running to your nearest apple store to get yours now, the same chip also works well with augmented reality so playing video games will be both immersive and realistic. Along with the new iPad, the company has also previewed an Apple pencil and Smart Keyboard Folio to go along with the tablet, which perfectly pairs with the iPad, as it is able to be magnetically attached to the device. The pencil takes it a step further and can be charged while it is attached to the iPad. The new thinnest iPad ever is perfect for all of you with on-the-go lifestyle’s. The up to 10 hours of battery life will allow you to function throughout your full work day and more.
But wait there is more.
Apple has also announced the brand new release of the MacBook Air. If you thought the company couldn’t get any more technologically appealing, you were wrong. This new laptop not only includes Touch ID, it is good for the environment! Apple is calling it, the “greenest mac ever”, yes the new computer is made with 100 percent recycled aluminum. And here we thought we couldn’t fall any more in love with an inanimate object. This device will be available in silver, gold, and space gray and maintain all day battery throughout the day.
There you have it folks. The new apple products have come out right in time for the holidays. Make sure you let us know down below what you think of these new devices!
“Sojourn” the eighth episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” focuses mostly on Michael Langdon (Cody Fern) and his rise through the church of Satan. While past seasons have made entire storylines surrounding Halloween, this episode, which aired on the 31st, not only had no reference to the holiday but was genuinely one of the least compelling or scary episodes of “Apocalypse.”

The episode begins with Langdon (Cody Fern) finding Kathy Bates’ burnt body at the stake. He starts freaking out when Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) tries to covert him over to witchery, but he obviously declines the offer and vows to get her back.
He goes to the woods and draws a pentagram in the dirt. He sits in it for 4 days until Satan starts sending hallucinations of Fanta-offering schoolgirls, goats and a ridiculously ripped archangel (in typical Ryan Murphy fashion).
Then Langdon goes to the city and finds comedian Sandra Bernhard leading a Satanic temple. She inspires her congregants by stealing from a nursing home and giving the money to the NRA. I didn’t really love the comedian in the role, but I did love her line “Let’s speak in tongues for a hot sec.”

Langdon decides to go home with one of the old women at the temple, who basically tells him while feeding him that the Satanists are trying to make the world as bad as possible so Satan will return to bring out the end of the world
He goes back to the temple as the “All Sinners Choir” sing a pro-Satan, abridged version of “O Fortuna.” He makes his entrance by slicing the throats of two sacrifices.
At the Satanist’s weekly potluck, Langdon tells the church-lady who brought him home that he’s not sure how to bring about the end of the world. She has a great idea and takes him on a scenic cliffside drive in her convertible to a robotics lab.
Billy Eichner and Evan Peters are back as two Satanic, robotic engineers with the worst “Dumb and Dumber” wigs I’ve ever seen. The commercials for this week’s episode already let us know that Peters and Eichner would be back, but they didn’t spoil that Sarah Paulson is back too! We see pre-Outpost Venable working at the lab. Her pre-apocalypse hair is red instead of black, and she’s rocking lavender, but it still fit her signature purple look.
This is Evan Peters’ third character this season but by far the worst wig he’s ever worn on the series. Photo courtesy of elitedaily.com
The engineers do literal ladlefuls of cocaine and a woman (I’m not going to assume she was a prostitute, but with their haircuts…) asks the exact thought I was wondering. “How do you guys not OD?” They may or may not make a reference that turning to Satan made them oblivious to a cocaine overdose, but that might be reading too far into it.
Langdon shows up and has them build a robotic version of Kathy Bates and then spend far too long showing the preparation of Ms. Mead 2.0. If this is, in fact, the third to final episode, do we really need to spend this much time with the building of the robot and Billy Eichner trying to play straight by saying “Bro” over and over again? I’m not into it.
The episode ends with the much drawn-out reunion between Langdon and the robotic, Satanic Kathy Bates. As if that wasn’t bad enough, the trailer for next week showed that we’re still in this damn flashback.
I’m loving seeing the witches and everything, but there are only two episodes left and there’s so much to wrap up. It looks like next week is going to be leading up to and hopefully including the end of the world, so we can find out how the witches are really going to save the day.
Langdon screaming over Kathy Bates’ burnt corpse is also going to be my reaction if this season doesn’t have a satisfying conclusion. Photo courtesy of bleedingcool.com
If it weren’t for “Hotel”, where they showed the Hotel Cortez in 2026, still standing in a non-apocalyptic Los Angeles. With “Apocalypse” starting in 2020 and doing so well at intertwining the seasons, I’d be shocked if they completely forgot that element of Season 5 and kept the world destroyed.
There were also an odd amount of references to scheduled sex throughout the episode, with the old Satanic woman alleging to sleep with Brad Pitt every Wednesday night and Ryan Reynolds on Sundays. Later, Billy Eichner’s character says he sleeps with Victoria Secret’s models every Tuesday nights and Ryan Reynolds. Is Ryan Reynolds prostituting himself to Satanists or is this a glimpse into Ryan Murphy’s weekly schedule?
This was definitely one of the least interesting episodes of the season, with the back half of it feeling totally unnecessary. Honestly, the whole Kathy Bates as a robot storyline should’ve been dropped. From its introduction, I thought it was too similar to “Westworld” and would take up valuable screen time from the witches.
On the bright side, the preview for next week promised more of the witches and I think I saw a shot inside Murder House. Make sure to check back next week to read my recap and review of the second to final episode of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.”
After Nicki called out Cardi on “Queen Radio,” Cardi responded across several Instagram videos
Cardi, 26, called out Minaj, 35, in 10 separate Instagram videos posted on Monday, just hours after Minaj spoke on their ongoing conflict in the latest episode of her Queen Radio show on Apple Music’s Beats 1.
“How you say that I was the wild animal, that I attacked you, that you was mortified, that you was humiliated playing the victim but now you the gangsta. You need to pick a side,” Cardi said in response to Minaj’s radio episode, in which she explained that her friend Rah Ali “really, really beat Cardi’s ass bad” during the Sept. 7 brawl.
Cardi definitely DID NOT hold back and responded directly to Nicki in a series of videos on Instagram. “You lie so much you can’t keep up with your fuckin’ lies,” Cardi said. “First you say you’ve got the footage, but then you say you wanna pay somebody $100,000 if they give you the footage? Yo, make sense when you’re talking!”
Nicki claimed that Cardi prevented Offset and 21 Savage from doing a video for their London on the Track collaboration “No Flag,” and also stopped 21 Savage from appearing on the remix to “Krippy Kush.” (Travis Scott allegedly appeared in his place.)
Nicki further claimed that Cardi had previously asked Nicki to appear on her “second single,” but she turned it down, due to the fact that “Motorsport,” which featured both women, was coming out around the same time.
In response to Nicki’s comments about “Motorsport,” Cardi detailed her issues with Nicki allegedly re-recording her verse for the song. In response to Nicki’s “Krippy Kush” comments, Cardi claimed that she’s not close enough to 21 Savage to “have that power” to stop him from working on songs or videos. Cardi then shared an alleged message from the “Krippy Kush” producer Rvssian arguing that Cardi had nothing to do with Savage backing out of the video
Nicki later responded to Cardi’s videos in a series of tweets. “I’ll pay you to take a lie detector test about every claim I made on #QueenRadio,” she wrote. “You won’t. I must admit you’re a convincing liar.” Nicki then invited Cardi to appear on “Queen Radio.”
The only rapper in the history of rap who can only talk about deals and songs she’s supposedly turned down cuz she can’t talk about a verse she’s ever written. Fkn fraud
I’ll pay you to take a lie detector test about every claim I made on #QueenRadio. You won’t. I must admit you’re a convincing liar. You looked me dead in my face & said you told ya man not to do the “no flags” video cuz I was dissing you. London on da Track got the same call.
Same thing with Steve Madden. Irv Gotti asked me to do that deal several times. I passed. You never hear me talking bout things like this. 🤣 she rlly thought she was doing smthn talking about turning down deals. BWAAAAAHAHAAAHAHAHAAAAA #DipVIDEO out now.
But in the end, both Nicki and Cardi said that they’re tried of this in going feud and it’s about time for them to put it to rest. “I’m tired of talking about too,” Cardi said. “I’m tired of the fu**ing whole internet s**t , I’m tired of the interview s**t. If you really want to talk about it, you know where to link me… we can talon about it, or we can fight about it. I’m with whatever.”
“Ok you guys, let’s focus on positive things only from here on out. We’re all so blessed. I know this stuff is entertaining & funny to a lot of people but I won’t be discussing this nonsense anymore. Thank you for the support & encouragement year after year. Love you”.
