In the late 1940s, businesses started realizing how profitable catering to the teenage demographic could be. For this reason, Rock and Roll and its accompanying subculture exploded onto the pop culture scene. It wasn’t just the music either, as movies like Blackboard Jungle, The Wild One, and Rebel Without a Cause became huge sensations. After this craze, understanding young men and women’s tastes became a vital part of a company’s success....

Gone are the days where people would simply watch a show and then move on. Now, the audience wants to know the lives of the cast on TV. As far as reality shows are concerned, the people depicted here get more loyal followers than for scripted shows because it offers a different view than the one onscreen. 90 Day Fiancé fans would like to know further about its stars, as the show doesn’t stick around following these people all the time, and the fans are interested to see how these people are living their lives....

Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS for A Series of Unfortunate Events season 3 ahead - A Series of Unfortunate Events season 2 offers a shocking reveal that there was a survivor of the fire - though the show deliberately doesn’t say which fire. Season 1 played a cruel trick on audiences by making them believe that the Baudelaire orphans weren’t orphans at all, but actually had two living parents (played by Will Arnett and Cobie Smulders) who were desperate to get back to them....

Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 6 has introduced a deadly new threat to Earth, the Shrike, but the new alien menace bears a curious resemblance to Superman’s Kryptonian crystals. The Shrike infects host bodies with a bat-like creature and transforms them into ever-expanding shards of crystals - and this looks just like how the crystals that formed the Fortress of Solitude in the Superman movies work. Could Marvel be poking fun at the core mythology of one of their rival DC Comics’ flagship superheroes?...

If you turned on your television from 1993-1999, chances are you’ll remember hearing Fran Drescher’s nasal voice emanating from the screen as she strutted around in a series of loud designer outfits in The Nanny. A modern I Love Lucy, with a little Sound of Music thrown in, Drescher played Fran Fine, a New York Jewish woman who went from working in a bridal shop in Queens to becoming the eccentric nanny of a widowed Broadway producer and his three children on Park Avenue....

Excitement was generated yesterday when it appeared that a 14-inch MacBook Air was one of a number of “hidden product listings” discovered on the website of Apple authorized reseller B&H Photo. However, the company has responded by saying these are not real listings. Not only were they just pre-event guesses, but they weren’t even guesses for this event … Background Things kicked off on Saturday, when listings were spotted for an “M2 Mac mini” and a “Mac mini tower....

Yu-Gi-Oh is an enduring franchise that encompasses everything from manga and anime to trading card games. Kids gather around the TV to watch the long-running cartoon, while gamers gather in comic book shops and libraries to participate in real live duels. It’s obvious that this franchise is much-loved, but there are plenty of aspects about this series that just don’t make any sense. Of course, with the internet being what it is, there are lots of memes out there that are more than happy to point them all out....

No television show or movie can completely avoid production errors, and True Blood especially is known for having no shortage of slip-ups. Some of these mistakes will only be noticed by the most perceptive of fans, while other blunders disrupt important scenes. Whether it’s a lack of continuity between shots or disparity between characters’ words and actions, errors can make certain moments lose their charm. Through these windows into the production of the show, viewers’ experience may or may not change depending on the severity of the mistake....

Comic book couples tend involved two characters who are also beloved on their own, inspiring passionate and dedicated fan followings. Superman apart from Lois Lane? Batman without Catwoman? While it’s perfectly canon for these heroes and others to have multiple romances in their histories, plenty of fans find themselves rabidly denying any and all relationships outside their preferred pairing, and why not? Sometimes people were just meant to be, and why mess with a couple if the ship’s not sinking?...

Another holiday season, another terrible holiday themed comedy that’s out to steal your hard-earned dollars. Oh wait, it’s still the first week of November? That’s a weird time to release a Christmas movie, isn’t it? It looks like the marketing team put about as much effort into selling A Bad Moms Christmas as the filmmakers put into actually making it. To be fair, there isn’t really a good time to release comedies like this....

While most recent coverage of the relationship between the film and television sides of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has stressed the sense of a growing divide between the two camps, largely centered on the famously combative relationship between MCU godfather Kevin Feige (who now controls Marvel Studios as an independent entity within Disney) and Marvel CEO Ike Perlmutter (who still holds sway over the TV and Netflix productions), continuity between the two realms is still official policy....
