The release of the Malayalam film Tovino Thomas’s Vazhakku has stirred considerable controversy. It is primarily due to the ongoing conflict between actor Thomas and director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan. This situation has led to the entire film being made available for free online. Here’s an in-depth look at why this happened.

Director Sanal Kumar Sasidharan releases Tovino Thomas’s Vazhakku online amid dispute

The dispute recently came to light when Sanal Kumar Sasidharan posted a lengthy message on Facebook, accusing Tovino Thomas of blocking the film’s release on OTT platforms and in theaters. Sanal claimed that Tovino feared the film might negatively impact his career. According to the director, the film, completed in 2020, was ready for release in 2021 but faced delays due to Tovino’s actions.

The allegations spread quickly, prompting Tovino and Girish to respond in an Instagram Live session. Tovino denied the accusations, explaining that his involvement was out of respect for Sanal’s craft. Additionally, he stated that he invested a significant amount in the film without expecting any financial gain.

Tovino Thomas further clarified that he had suggested an OTT release to ensure the film reached its audience. However, he claimed that Sanal’s refusal to grant creative rights to streaming platforms led to no release either way. Additionally, Sanal allegedly rejected the idea of participating in the aforementioned virtual Mumbai Film Festival (MAMI), fearing potential online leaks.

Hence in response to such claims, Sanal uploaded the entire film on Vimeo. He shared the link on Facebook with the message, “Cinema should be viewed by the audience. For anyone who wants to watch it, here is Vazhakku (The Quarrel). You will understand now why the movie hasn’t been released.”

The cast includes notable actors such as Kani Kusruti, Sudev Nair, Azees Nedumangad, Byju Netto, and Thanmaya Sol. Despite its compelling storyline and talented cast, the film’s release has been overshadowed by the ongoing dispute. Now, the film has been taken down from Vimeo.

In Frankly Speaking episode 5, Woo-Joo’s colleagues doubt her decision to bring in Ki-Baek as a participant. They think Jung-Heon may not like the idea, but the top star agrees. For context, Jung-Heon is Woo-Joo’s ex-boyfriend who wants to date her again. Therefore, he wants to do her show.

The shooting of the reality dating show begins. Three girls and four guys participate in the variety show. During the introduction segment, Ki-Baek messes up as he fails to control his tongue and reveals that he is unemployed. Although his first impression is ruined, his competitive side adds entertainment to the show. Furthermore, it seems he provokes Jung-Heon, who ends up being the hero for viewers.

Meanwhile, Ki-Baek forms a connection with his assigned partner. She makes a deal with him, stating they will pick each other in the first round.

In one of the interviews, Ki-Baek learns that he has been hired to portray a villain image so that Jung-Heon can shine on screen. Ki-Baek assumes that Woo-Joo had asked him to join her variety show for the same reason. Towards the end of the episode, the participants are given a task to find clues while trekking in a jungle. 

Ki-Baek takes a different route with his partner and falls down a slope. His partner informs the production team, and Woo-Joo runs into the jungle to find him. When Jung-Heon learns that Woo-Joo has left, he becomes furious at the producer. In the jungle, Woo-Joo finally finds Ki-Baek and treats his twisted ankle.

Woo-Joo asks him why he is upset with her. In response, he mentions that he is disappointed with her because of her intention behind hiring him. Woo-Joo tries to explain that Ki-Baek has misunderstood her. Hurt, Ki-Baek asks, “What was the potential you saw in me? What was it that you saw in me?” She replies, “My heart fluttered. And right now…my heart is fluttering.” Her response leaves Ki-Baek shocked.

AEW Star Ricky Starks Reflects on Working With CM Punk

Photo Credit: WWE and Ricky Starks’ Instagram

AEW star Ricky Starks has recently opened up about his experiences working with former AEW star CM Punk. In Punk’s final days with AEW, he was involved in a feud with Ricky Starks. Both stars were scheduled to face each other at the AEW All Out. However, their match got scrapped as Punk was fired from the promotion, and he was replaced by Bryan Danielson.

In an interview with WhatCulture Wrestling, Ricky Starks expressed his thoughts on collaborating with CM Punk and other stars in AEW. He stated, “Dude, it was incredible. Even beyond those guys, who have history, they’re veterans, but don’t forget, the [Young] Bucks are also two guys that I’ve talked to and gone to. They’ve been super helpful and really knowledgeable as well. So it’s not just the veterans. It’s people who are more experienced than I am. So I love all those guys. They’ve been very helpful in that regard. Punk was very instrumental in my presentation on Collision.”

He continued by saying, “There’s a video clip that constantly gets reshared where the pyro is going off and exploding. That was Punk’s idea. Punk has a vision for trying to help out certain people. I do remember a conversation with him where he was like, ‘You know, it’s really up to you to swim. Sink or swim.’ I felt like a lot of stress on myself and pressure on myself to constantly out-perform my last match that I had, just to prove that if he was going to put his name on me, so to speak, or be the one to push for me, then I needed to do my part to make sure that I never let that down.”

AEW star Ricky Starks sets the record straight about CM Punk

During his two-year tenure at AEW, CM Punk may not have made many friends; however, his rival Ricky Starks has shared a positive opinion of him. Speaking in the same interview about his relationship with CM Punk, Starks stated that he doesn’t care what anyone else tells him because Punk was nice to him.

He stated, “Punk was very instrumental in making sure, like, hey, we should try to do something different with this dude. I think Punk is the only one that was closest to really understanding me in that regard, when it came to how I came up in the car [on AEW Collision]. I had that, and then I was one with the bag. Every time he would see my outfit, he laugh and be like, ‘This is perfect.’”

He continued, “So there was a great collaboration going on in that regard. So that’s why I have no issue with Punk. I don’t give a f**k what anybody tries to tell me. I don’t care. He has never done me wrong. You can have your opinions on him and all that, but you shouldn’t vilify someone for thinking differently than you. I will say that til I’m blue in the face. He really went out of his way to really try to make something on that Collision show for me, and I feel like it was working. I feel like we were really onto something. He was a great dude, and I still think Punk is a good dude, in my opinion. He tried to help a lot of us on that show, and I can always be thankful for that.”

While fans hoped to see the feud between CM Punk and Ricky Starks, Punk’s departure led to his return to WWE, while Starks remains with AEW.

He also mentions that he saw Jin-Woo with Hye-Jin during the first snow. Jin-Woo clarifies that there is nothing between him and Hye-Jin and that he is going to confess his feelings to Gi-Seop. 

Jin-Woo learns that his father contacted Gi-Seop because he needs a document urgently. When Jin-Woo tells Gi-Seop that his father prioritizes his career more than his son, Gi-Seop tears up the document. Later, he tries to fix it at Jin-Woo’s home, where the latter converses with his dad via video call. The father and son share an emotional moment, and Jin-Woo’s father praises Gi-Seop.

One evening, Gi-Seop calls Balg-Eum, but the latter doesn’t pick up again. Worried, Gi-Seop and Jin-Woo visit Balg-Eum’s apartment the next day. Gi-Seop finds Balg-Eum depressed in his room. He cheers up his friend and takes him out for a meal with Jin-Woo. The trio signs in to work at a New Year event, held by Balg-Eum’s restaurant owner.

On the day of the event, Hye-Jin arrives at the rooftop venue with her friends. Although she still has issues with Gi-Seop, she is happy for Jin-Woo. The couple shares a few romantic moments at their part-time work. Meanwhile, In-Ho arrives at the venue to meet Balg-Eum. He apologizes to the latter for making him uncomfortable and also expresses his love for him. In response, Balg-Eum mentions that he also likes him but needs time to lead a better life. He asks In-Ho to wait for him. Their story ends on a bittersweet note as In-Ho and Balg-Eum part ways with the hope of reuniting in the future.

Interview: Ghostbusters Star Mckenna Grace Talks Frozen Empire, Working With Legends

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire star Mckenna Grace about the latest entry in the beloved series. Grace discussed the new and old characters of the franchise, plus more. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is now available to buy or rent now digitally.

“In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level,” says the synopsis. “But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an army of ghosts that casts a death chill upon the city, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.”

This has to be so exciting because we’re two films into this Ghostbusters reboot and continuation, and Phoebe’s been the breakout character. Fans have embraced her. What has really stood out about the reception? I imagine it’s like a pinch-me moment where you’re contributing and building upon the legacy of such a storied franchise.

It’s incredible. It’s nothing I could have ever hoped or imagined. Crazy background, by the way. Love it. It’s insane to me to be a part of something that I’ve been such a fan of my entire life. And to be able to build upon that franchise for a newer generation and for the old generation of Ghostbusters fans, I might not be like old, but I am like, I am a Ghostbusters fan. Like I’ve been a Ghostbusters fan my entire life. It’s a dream come true. It feels surreal. It doesn’t feel real. I can’t believe that I’m a Ghostbuster!

The family dynamic really is special. At my theater — and I never see this — but when I saw Frozen Empire, everybody was dressed up. There were whole families dressed up. It’s such a cool experience seeing the bond between families like that. I assume that just makes everything all the more special.

Oh, it’s incredible. It’s probably like my favorite part about being a part of this franchise is the fan base is getting to be, because I’m such a part of the fan base, so it, it’s cool to see the reception to Phoebe that people have welcomed me and her with open arms. ’cause you know, they didn’t have to, they could have just been like, “I hate Phoebe, and I hate Mckenna Grace.” You know? I don’t know. I always get scared. The fans have been so, so lovely to me, and I love getting to see that. I love getting to see the families and kids dressed as Ghostbusters and as Phoebe. I’ve seen so many cosplays and edits, and it’s my favorite thing.

It has to be a bit bizarre seeing kids trick or treat as you. Isn’t that crazy?

It’s very weird. I can’t imagine that that actually has happened before. Like, that’s weird. I saw a TikTok the other day of a tattoo of me as Phoebe, my face, on somebody’s leg. I was like, this cannot be real. There’s no way. I’m so sorry that you decided to get my face. I’m so sorry you have that now. Like me. It’s so crazy to me. I can’t believe that exists. I don’t know, that’s crazy to me. It’s very surreal.

A few years passed between Afterlife and Frozen Empire. So what was most interesting about really getting to develop Phoebe past the young girl that we saw in Afterlife and see how she is now becoming almost an adult?

Well, it’s the same as me because that is pretty much what’s going on in my life. I had just turned 13 about like a month before we shot Afterlife, and then I turned 17 the day after we stopped shooting Frozen Empire. So it’s the exact timeframe of my life. It’s been fun to be able to portray Phoebe at a different time in my life and hers, because it kind of correlates and lines up always. I’m growing with her, so it’s fun to incorporate because I get her, I feel her, you know, I’m going through the same thing. So I get to incorporate lots of my life into her.

One of the highlights of the film is Phoebe’s bond with Melody. How was it finding your chemistry and back and forth with Emily because you both play off each other really well?

Yeah, I think that’s just kinda like how we play off of each other. Just like in the scenes whenever we’re playing Phoebe and Melody, it’s fun. We just quip and go back and forth. We improvise a lot. It’s fun. I don’t know, Emily and I get along. It’s cool getting to play those characters and bring their friendship to life.

You have some really sweet moments with Paul Rudd. He’s trying to gain acceptance in this stepdad role and a lot of heart of the film comes from that. How is it kind of establishing that rapport with him? Especially because you guys are kind of arguing a bit in the movie as your character gets sidelined, but it’s all a happy ending.

Yeah, it’s lovely getting to see that relationship between Gary and Phoebe. I think that it’s sweet that he is trying to step up and be there for Phoebe. I love it. I think that it’s really nice. I love their relationship. I think it’s probably one of my favorite parts of the film. I love shooting it. I love getting to work with Paul. He’s a fantastic on-screen father and an amazing off-screen friend. So it’s always lovely getting to work with him. it’s an honor and it’s cool getting to portray their relationship and bond, especially this go around. It was very fun to be able to kind of have him step into a bit more of a parental figure in her life.

Finn Wolfhard is just hilarious in this film. He really gets to show his comedy chops. He’s getting slimed all the time. He is a very fun, goofy big brother. How was it establishing the sibling dynamic, especially with them a little bit older than in the first film?

It was fun. I feel it’s fun. I feel like our entire relationship in these films is just he says something, and I’m like, “You’re so stupid.” I feel like that’s just our entire [thing]. He just says something, and I just like look at him like, “You’re so… Why are you talking?” It makes me laugh. I’d love to see more of Phoebe and Trevor. I love working with Finn. We have a great time and a great rapport as those characters. So I’d love to see that relationship a bit more. But it’s always really fun. I love working with Finn. I mean, he’s so stupid. Like they’re just always doing bits on set. He’s so talented, of course, but they’re just hilarious, and I’m just always like, “Oh God.” They’re just always doing a bit. It’s funny.

The legends return in Frozen Empire. We see Ernie Hudson, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd. It is great to see them, and they have larger roles this time around. How was it getting to work with them, getting to learn from them, and, most importantly, getting that co-sign from them as well that they want to be a part of this and they’re proud of this film as well?

It’s just as surreal as being a Ghostbuster. It’s weird to be able to not just meet and work alongside but also bust ghosts alongside the original guys. It’s people that I’ve grown up watching and been a fan of my entire life. So it’s weird. It’s cool that they like the franchise still and like the films that we’re making, that’s like the biggest honor in my heart that they still wanna be a part of it and still like what we’re doing and creating. It’s an incredible feeling. It’s weird and surreal. I don’t even know how to describe it. It’s a fever dream.

I saw that you voiced Skye in Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, and it’s embarrassing, but that movie made me cry. I’m a really big dog lover. You have such a great arc in that movie. Were you surprised at how much heart the Paw Patrol movie had?

Nah, I’m not surprised about it. I think that it has all the heart. I think that it’s such a sweet franchise I’m honored to be a part of. It’s very cool that I got to step into that role after it being such a beloved and known kids’ show, especially among this younger generation. Like all of my friends, like younger siblings, watch the show, and then a lot of my friends watch the show growing up. So, it’s really cool to get to be a part of. I’ve always wanted to do animation and be an animated character, so it’s weird to have little toys and voice this little dog. It’s so cute to see my voice coming out of that. It’s weird.

Dan Schneider Issues Statement on New Allegations From All That’s Lori Beth Denberg

(Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Nickelodeon)

Former All That cast member Lori Beth Denberg has accused Dan Schneider of showing her porn, initiating phone sex, and engaging in other inappropriate behavior when she was a teenager on the series.

The allegations came during a recent interview Denberg gave to Business Insider. In the interview, she claims that once she turned 19 in 1995, Schneider began asking to meet with her and showing her clips of pornography, including one of a woman performing oral sex on a donkey.

“I feel like that is the first time he preyed on me,” Denberg said.

In a statement to Variety on the matter, Schneider denied various aspects of the story as “wildly exaggerated and, in most cases, false” but did acknowledge he had made “mistakes” throughout his career.

“As I have previously stated, there were times, particularly in the early years of my career, that I made mistakes and exhibited poor judgment as a leader,” Schneider said. “If I did that with respect to Lori Beth, I sincerely apologize to her. But I cannot apologize for things I did not do.”

Schneider went on to note that the timing of the report was seemingly “more than coincidental,” noting that it happened so quickly after he filed a defamation lawsuit against the makers of the recent Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV for his portrayal.

Schneider accusations include discussing sexual topics and inappropriate massages

Along with the previous allegations made against Schneider, Denberg — who joined the cast of All That when she was 17 — said that Schneider would discuss sexual topics with her over the phone and even tried to initiate phone sex with the actress in one instance.

In another situation, Denberg said there would be times when she stayed at Schneider’s house overnight, and that one night, while the pair watched Jeopardy! together, he made a bet that whoever got more questions right would win a massage. After Denberg won, she alleged that Schneider began fondling her.

“I couldn’t have been more green,” Denberg said, who recalled her “weird, abusive friendship” with Schneider. “I couldn’t have been more vulnerable.”

Imaginary Director Jeff Wadlow Talks Big Twist, Making PG-13 Horror

(Photo Credit: Lionsgate)

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to Imaginary director Jeff Wadlow about the Blumhouse and Lionsgate horror movie, which is now available via VOD and comes out today on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. They discussed Chauncey’s design iterations, the movie’s twist, and making PG-13 horror movies.

“When Jessica (DeWanda Wise) moves back into her childhood home with her family, her youngest stepdaughter Alice (Pyper Braun) develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement,” reads the movie’s synopsis. “Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.”

Tyler Treese: I spoke with DeWanda Wise and she brought up that you’re a very collaborative filmmaker. I really love seeing these films and talking to directors where you can see they clearly take input from their actors and they come up with ideas together. So can you speak to your mindset going in and wanting to be collaborative with all the members of your team?

Jeff Wadlow: I love filmmaking because it’s collaborative art. I teach short filmmaking in my hometown. I’ve been doing it for 20 years. I do it every fall. And one of the things I say to my filmmakers, I say, listen, you just wanna execute what’s in your head, then you should write a novel. You should be an oil painter. What’s amazing about filmmaking is that all these creative people come together and they all contribute things to this, this stew that we’re making. And my, the, the favorite, my favorite parts of the movies I’ve made are the parts that I didn’t plan that surprised me. That evolved organically out of a back and forth with my team.

And so I think you’d be crazy not to lean into it because you have all these creative people participating. Like, why wouldn’t you want the best ideas? You still don’t understand your roles. The way I describe my job as the director is I say, Hey, come, come to the party, contribute to the stew. I’ll tell you when the stew is done. I’ll tell you when it needs a little more pepper. But I want you all throwing in your best ingredients. Because that’s how we’re gonna make something that will be bigger and more interesting than any one single person could imagine.

This is a really fun psychological horror movie. In the last act, it definitely gets wild, but it starts out very grounded. You really get to see the family dynamic. Can you speak to just taking the time to establish their lives and making sure the audience connects with these characters? We’re all waiting for that horror to pop off, but there’s a reason for the wait.

Yeah. You wanna connect to the characters, you want to care about them. You have to have an emotional investment otherwise you’re making Jaws 2. I always talk about the difference between Jaws and Jaws 2. Jaws, you spend what, like 40 minutes, almost an hour on land before they head out in the Orca. Because you’re getting to know the characters. You’re spending time with them so that you care about the three of them when they’re at sea.

Another example, it’s not a horror movie, but I was rewatching Taken, the Liam Neeson movie the other day, and there’s 30 minutes before she gets grabbed, right? But the reason why Pierre Morel did that, [and] Luc Besson did that, is because they wanted to give the audience time to connect to the characters, to invest in the relationships. So when it does start to pop off, there’s emotional stakes.

ComingSoon spoiler alert

You have a great twist in this movie. My theater was shocked when they found out the bear wasn’t being seen by everybody. When you’re doing like a big twist, that’s a risk. How was it when you first test screened it? Because you could easily see something where if the breadcrumbs weren’t laid out, or maybe it was made too obvious where it wouldn’t connect, but thankfully, it paid off here.

Honestly, the first test screening didn’t [go well]. There was too much information. I shot a lot of footage of the bear not being there. Like almost every moment when someone else was in the room and Alice had the bear, I would do a quick take of her mining holding the bear. So we had a lot more material and it was almost a little bit more like the end of the sixth sense. Like we had all these images of the bear not being there and it was just too much. You didn’t need it. So we pulled it way, way back, and that’s the version that’s in the film and it, and it worked better. I mean, it’s always this like weird balancing act. It’s like how much information do you give the audience versus how little because you want to be concise, you don’t wanna overdo it. And if we had given them nothing, you just said that, you know, the bear’s not there. And she’s like, what? And then she realized it and then we’re onto the next scene and think, going to be going like, “Huh? I don’t understand.” They needed some imagery of the bear not being there to put it together. They just didn’t need all the footage that I shot.

I love that you have the Chauncey behind you, the cute little teddy bear I wanted to ask about.

That’s the hero bear. That is the bear from the movie.

I like that you went with a cute bear because I could see you wanting to go in a creepier direction, maybe more tattered, but then I feel like the audience would be like, why is this little girl playing with this gross-looking bear?

We did a lot of iterations because we couldn’t go full Annabelle with the bear because they’d be like, why would a kid want to cuddle with that thing? I mean, the Annabelle doll is terrifying. You don’t wanna spend any time. Yeah. But at the same time, you know, there were definitely versions of him that were a little more like Winnie the Poh or Paddington and I was like, well that doesn’t really work as like a, is a horror icon. So where we landed was on, on this guy. Right. And the key to him, I mean, he’s not exactly new. I mean, he’s definitely tattered, right? He looks a little older. But the thing that makes him still work in the kind of the poor lexicon is the asymmetry. Right? Like see how off his eyes and his ears are [off], even though he’s kind of in a neutral position. That’s what creates the unease in the audience. That’s what gives you the feeling that something is not right with this thing.

You’ve done a lot of PG-13 horror, and naturally, that is restrictive in a way, but also, these types of restrictions encourage you to think outside the box, and you still have so many other ways to get scares. So how do you feel about working within the PG space because I often hear that any restrictions kind of make you more creative.

One thing I say to the film students when I’m teaching that class: “They say, when you’re in a box, the only way out is up.” So I don’t have a problem with constraints. I mean, the very nature of filmmaking is filled with, filled with constraints. You have limited budget, you have limited time. So it doesn’t phase me. I think ultimately the story dictates the, the rating. If you, if I were ever to make, you know, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie, it’s gonna be a hard R. I mean, how can you make that as anything other than a hard R It’s a guy running around with a chainsaw killing people. If I were to make a Halloween film, of course it would be an R because Michael Myers is, he needs to kill people with, with the butcher knife, and you need to see it in order to be terrified. But when you’re making a movie about imagination, it’s not hard to keep it off camera and keep a lot of the terror implied because you need to imagine it, and that just organically leads you to a PG 13 rating.

To end on a fun note, did you have an imaginary friend growing up?

I was a film nerd. All my friends were imaginary.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 Could Introduce a Nintendo Cinematic Universe, Says Chris Pratt

Chris Pratt says that The Super Mario Bros. Movie 2 could kickstart the Nintendo Cinematic Universe.

Speaking with ScreenRant, Pratt discussed what the future may have in store for The Super Mario Bros. film franchise following the 2023 animated movie.

“Oh, man! There’s so much to explore,” Pratt said. “There are decades worth of [games] to explore, not only with Mario and Peach and Donkey Kong and Luigi and Bowser and Yoshi; that was teased at the end. But it just gets me so excited. I was such a Nintendo head growing up, so just thinking about how everything from Legend of Zelda to the entire Nintendo Cinematic Universe could be created and what that could look like for all of these characters that I love? I mean, there’s really no limit. We could talk about it for hours.”

Another Super Mario Bros. Movie is in the works

A new Super Mario Bros. Movie is currently scheduled to release on April 3, 2026; however, it is not yet known whether the film will serve as a direct sequel or a spin-off to the 2023 movie. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes director Wes Ball is also working on a live-action Legend of Zelda movie, which does not have an official release date at this time.

Of course, when it comes to Nintendo video games, characters like Mario, Link, and Mega Man all meet in the popular Super Smash Bros. crossover platformer, though whether or not that’s the direction the Nintendo Cinematic Universe could be headed in remains to be seen.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie was released in United States theaters in April 2023. Despite mixed reviews from critics, it made over $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office off of an estimated budget of $100 million.

The voice cast for The Super Mario Bros. Movie includes Pratt as Mario, Anya Taylor-Joy as Princess Peach, Charlie Day as Luigi, Jack Black as Bowser, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, and Fred Armisen as Cranky Kong. The film was directed by Aaron Horvath and Michael Jelenic.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie is currently streaming on Netflix.

Aadujeevitham Ending Explained & Spoilers: How Does Prithviraj Sukumaran’s Movie End?

Photo Credit: Visual Romance Image Makers, Jet Media Production, Alta Global Media

Prithviraj Sukumaran’s latest Malayalam survival drama, Aadujeevitham, aka The Goat Life, is receiving much praise. From the movie’s plot to the acting, fans are in awe of the effort its makers put in. The movie has brought a true heart-wrenching story of an Indian laborer to the silver screens. It follows the laborer’s hardship during his time in a Middle Eastern country. Sukumaran has played the role of Najeeb Muhammed, the real-life laborer whose life has been narrated in the movie.

What happens to Najeeb at the far? Does Najeeb escape the bizarre conditions? Here are the movie’s spoilers and ending explained.

Why does Najeeb go to Saudi Arabia?

Aadujeevitham begins with Najeeb and Hakeem, two Indian laborers, reaching a country in the Middle East. Excited about the job, they wait for someone to meet them. However, almost an entire day passes, and nobody comes to pick them up. Finally, when an Arab comes to them, they blindly trust him and get into his car. When they head to the desert, they finally realize that their future in the new country will not be pleasant. Hakeem is forcefully separated from Najeeb, and their passport is taken. Najeeb is taken to a farm to herd camels and goats in the middle of a desert. Here’s when they realize that they were wronged by the person who took money from them for their visas.

Najeeb meets only one Hindi-speaking man on the farm and is taken aback by his living conditions. The locals refuse to help Najeeb and start treating him like a slave. He is neither given proper food nor clothes and is left to work throughout the day. As he spends some time in the bizarre conditions, he makes several attempts to escape the farm. However, all his attempts fail. While the farm owner terrorizes him, an armed guard always has his eye on him.

During one of his trips, while herding goats, an unrecognizable Najeeb hears someone singing in pain. He has not taken a bath in years and become meek due to his living conditions. When he follows the voice, he finds it is none other than Hakeem singing. As the two finally reunite, they plan to escape the farm.

Aadujeevitham ending explained: Does Najeeb return home?

One fine day, the farm owner left the farm for a wedding, which gave Najeeb a window to escape. When the owner left, Hakeem and an African man named Ibrahim Kadri, who had offered to help them, came to pick Najeeb up. The three of them then began their struggle-filed journey to find the road. Kadri, who knew the way to the road, guided them. However, as the conditions worsened, their health also began to deteriorate.

While Najeeb lost his shoe, Hakeem began to hallucinate. His two pals tried to keep him alive, but it did not help. He soon went into hemorrhage and started oozing blood from his mouth. A sudden sandstorm worsened the condition, and Najeeb saw Hakeem’s body submerging in the desert.

Najeeb and Kadri kept on moving toward the road and even found water. However, after one night, Kadri was nowhere to be found. Najeeb soon got a lift from another local, this time a kind-hearted one, to a Malayali restaurant. The residents helped him recover, and he even talked to his family back in India. However, he had to surrender to the local authorities as he had no visa.

Najeeb was delighted to see life in jail as it was much better than the farm he had escaped. He spent some time in prison before he was finally deported to India. Aadujeevitham comes to its end when Najeeb meets his family, who are delighted to see him after two years of torture.

Oshi no Ko Chapter 149 Spoilers & Leaks: The Love Triangle Gets Messy!

Kana in Oshi no Ko (Photo Credit: Aka Akasaka, Mengo Yokoyari via Shueisha)

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 will be released on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, for most fans worldwide. Ahead of the issue’s release, spoilers and leaks surfaced online, throwing light on the aftermath of Kana’s shocking sacrifice in the previous installment.

According to the spoilers of Oshi no Ko chapter 149, the upcoming installment continues with Kana and Akane’s conversation. The spoilers reveal that Kana saw Akane and Aqua talking flirtatiously with each other, which inevitably hurt her feelings. Kana also realizes that she has misinterpreted Aqua’s intentions with her.

In a self-effacing manner, Kana tells Akane that Akane is better than a “boring” and “mean-spirited” woman like Kana. When Akane stops her, she finds Kana crying and tells her that although she likes Aqua, she has no romantic feelings for him. Besides, Akane admits to only wishing for Aqua’s happiness.

However, Kana responds that if she were Aqua, she, too, would choose Akane. Akane asks her why, to which Kana replies that it is because the former is pretty, intelligent, and generous. Moreover, she is a talented actor, and if Kana were a man, she would choose her.

Kana’s confession makes Akane blush, and she reciprocates the compliments by praising Kana. Akane rebukes Kana for being unaware of her charm, which Kana denies, and runs away from the scene.

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 spoilers: Akane supports Kana’s feelings for Aqua

The next day, according to the Oshi no Ko chapter 149 spoilers, Akane visits Kana in her room to find her lying on the bed, crying. Akane confronts Kana and tells her that she has been thinking about their conversation on the beach and has decided to support Kana’s love life.

Akane, furthermore, claims to have intel on Aqua as his ex-girlfriend, which would be helpful for Kana. Kana questions Akane’s intention behind helping her, to which Akane admits that she wants Aqua to date women whom she approves of.

Although Kana keeps denying her feelings for Aqua, Akane persistently asks her to admit her feelings to Aqua. Finally, Akane leaves Kana alone but tells her to leave it all to Akane, which confuses Kana.

While walking, Akane finds a billboard with Aqua’s image on it, and talks to it as if it were Aqua himself. She tells the billboard that she knows Aqua well. She knows Aqua is distancing himself because he does not want to involve an essential friend in his revenge.

Hence, the Oshi no Ko chapter 149 spoilers reveal that Akane supports Kana’s love for Aqua only because she knows that having the former as a lover would hinder Aqua’s revenge against Hikaru Kamiki. The chapter ends with Akane saying that she knows what Aqua dislikes.

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 release date and time

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 will be released on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT.

The following is the release date and time schedule for various regions across the world:

  • Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 11 a.m. EDT
  • Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 4 p.m. BST

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: Are Caesar & Maurice in the Movie?

The fourth chapter of the Planet of the Apes reboot franchise, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, takes fans back to an alternate version of Earth where humanity has been nearly wiped out and apes have become the dominant species. Fans are wondering whether Caesar (Andy Serkis) and Maurice (Karin Konoval), two of the main characters of the previous three films, are in the new movie. Caesar led the ape rebellion against humanity, and Maurice was his most trusted advisor. Together, they ushered in a new era for the apes. Naturally, fans want to know if they appear in the latest installment.

Does Caesar appear in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?

After Caesar’s funeral, the film skips several generations before picking up the story again. According to the film’s director, Wes Ball, Caesar is very much in the “new movie, spiritually, throughout everything” and “his ideas of morality and decency and his relationship with humans – all that is explored through an almost mythical lens that I think is exciting.”

How Did Edrick Faust Become a Suspect in Tara Baker’s Murder?

Photo Credits: REKINC1980 | Getty Images

Disclaimer: This article contains mentions of assault and murder. Reader discretion is advised.

Edrick Faust is a 48-year-old suspect who has been arrested on charges relating to the murder of Tara Baker, a case that had gone cold for over two decades. He has been charged with two counts of felony murder, one count of aggravated assault, possession of a knife during the commission of a felony, arson, concealing the death of another, tampering with evidence, and one count of aggravated sodomy. Arrest documents revealed that Faust had been arrested in Athens-Clarke County several times before this.

Tara Baker’s murder case has remained unsolved since 2001. Edrick Faust was only caught long after the Coleman-Baker Act, which was brought into the picture. After the cold cases of Sue Coleman, another University of Georgia student, and Tara Baker remained unsolved, CBS News reported that this act was introduced and named after them. The legislation prompted the set up of a separate department within the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which would be dedicated to solving cold cases. The GBI Cold Case Unit was formed in July 2023.

In September 2023, the GBI Cold Case Unit partnered with the Athen-Clarke County Police Department. They looked deeper into Baker’s killing. So far, existing information gathered from the investigation was combined with DNA science and biological evidence. They then narrowed down a suspect pool and charged Edrick Faust. According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the Cold Case Unit reportedly applies any advancement in technology to cases where any significant leads could be produced through science. They also review the existing information and whether any details were missed during the primary investigation.

When was Edrick Faust charged with the killing of Tara Baker?

The GBI announced on May 9, 2024, that Edrick Faust had been charged with Tara Baker’s murder. He had been arrested nearly 23 years after the killing. CNN reported that Faust remained in jail on a $15,000 bond. The report also revealed no relation between Baker and Faust, making it a random crime.

Tara Baker was found dead on January 19, 2001, in her apartment in Athens. She was a first-year UGA law student who was last seen on January 18 at the UGA Law School Library. Her friend, who last saw her, left at around 7:30 p.m. She then spoke to her over call at 9:45 p.m. Tara reportedly told her she would leave to go home at 10 p.m. However, she was found dead in her apartment the next day by firefighters who were responding to a fire in the house. Edrick Faust was arrested in a different case less than a month later, in February 2001.

According to Fox 5, an autopsy revealed that Tara Baker died by strangulation, blunt force trauma, and stab wounds to the neck. In the unrelated February 2001 case, Edrick Faust pleaded guilty to cutting the victim’s throat. Officials have not disclosed the exact forensic procedure that has led to Faust getting caught.

The Athens-Clarke County firefighters found Baker dead on the floor of her bedroom after they broke open the door to her apartment, which was locked and dead-bolted. They found that the four burners in the kitchen were on high and were the source of the fire. The bedroom where Baker was found was also locked and had flames coming out of it, WSAV reported.

Jerry Seinfeld Duke University Speech Protest: Why Did Students Walk out & Chant ‘Free Palestine?

Jerry Seinfeld has been no stranger to controversy over his career as an actor and comedian, and some students walked out during his recent Duke University speech. Accordingly, fans are curious about the cause of the incident. Here’s everything you need to know.

What happened during Jerry Seinfield’s Duke University speech?

On Sunday, May 12, Jerry Seinfeld accepted his honorary degree at Duke University but faced an unexpected turn of events. 

According to a New York Times report, some Duke University students delayed Seinfeld’s speech by displaying their support for Palestine. Ever since the Hamas attack in October, Seinfeld has voiced his support for Israel, which led to his speech being halted when some students started waving Palestine flags and chanting “Free Palestine.”

Many people followed the protest by leaving the graduation ceremony. Others in the crowd showed their support for the protestors. Even after leaving the ceremony, some students, families, and faculty members resumed the chants.

Although Seinfield didn’t address the situation, he shared some words for the remaining students. He said, “I totally admire the ambitions of your generation to create a more just and inclusive society. I think it is also wonderful that you care so much about not hurting other people’s feelings in the million and one ways we all do that every second of every day.”

The comedian continued, “It’s lovely to want to fix those things, but — all caps, but — what I need to tell you as a comedian, do not lose your sense of humor. You can have no idea at this point in your life how much you’re going to need it to get through.”

This isn’t the first time that the veteran comedian has been booed. When Seinfeld left the State of the World Jewry event, he was also protested by supporters of Palestine.

Tara Baker Murder: What Happened to the UGA Law Student?

Disclaimer: This article contains mentions of murder and assault. Reader discretion is advised.

Tara Louise Baker was a 23-year-old UGA law student who was found dead in her home in Athens, Georgia. Athens-Clarke County firefighters found Tara Baker in her home on January 19, 2001, at around 11:20 a.m. when they were responding to a fire at her apartment. An investigation revealed that the fire was intentionally set, and an elaborate investigation ensued. However, the case went cold, and no significant progress was made in the case until authorities announced on May 9, 2024, that an arrest was made in relation to the cold case.

CNN reported that Tara Baker was last seen on January 18, 2001, at around 7:30 p.m. by a friend at the UGA Law School Library. She claimed that she left the library first and was on a call with her at around 9:45 p.m. when Baker told her she planned to leave the library at 10 p.m. The next day, firefighters responded to flames and smoke from the rear corner of Baker’s apartment. They kicked the front door open as it appeared to be dead-bolted and locked, WSAV reported.

While on the search for the source of the fire, firefighters arrived at the kitchen. They found out that all four burners on the electric range were high. A bedroom in the back corner also had heavy flames coming out of it and was locked. An adjacent bathroom door was also locked and had to be kicked open. Tara Baker was found lying dead on the floor of her bedroom. The death was ruled a homicide. An autopsy revealed that she was beaten, stabbed, strangled, and might have been sexually assaulted. Baker’s 1996 Dodge Neon was parked in front of the apartment.

Who is charged with Tara Baker’s murder?

According to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, 48-year-old Edrick Lamont Faust has been charged with Tara Baker’s murder nearly 23 years after the killing. He was arrested and charged with two counts of felony murder, one count of aggravated assault, arson, possession of a knife during the commission of a felony, concealing the death of another, tampering with evidence, and one count of aggravated sodomy.

Edrick Faust reportedly has several arrests documented in Athens-Clarke County. Fox 5 reported that less than a month after Tara Baker was killed, Faust was arrested. He then pleaded guilty to aggravated assault after cutting someone’s neck. His arrest warrant in relation to Baker’s killing suggested that the victim died of strangulation, blunt force trauma to the head, and stab wounds to the neck.

Special GBI Cold Case Unit Agents reportedly partnered with the Athens-Clarke County investigators in September 2023. They did an in-depth review and analysis of the investigation that had been done by then into Tara Baker’s murder. The information gathered from the investigation was combined with DNA science and biological evidence to narrow down a suspect pool and arrest Edrick Faust.

CBS News reported that the Coleman-Baker Act played an important role in furthering the investigation into Tara Baker’s homicide. The act led to the establishment of a new department within the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. This department was to be dedicated to solving cold cases entirely. The legislation was named after another University of Georgia student, Sue Coleman and Tara Baker.

Dave Grohl Documentary From Cradle to Stage: When Did Foo Fighter Guitarist’s Mother Die?

Virginia Grohl died in 2022. (Photo Credit: The Washington Post | Getty Images)

Dave Grohl is one of the most recognizable faces in modern rock. He was once the drummer of grunge legends Nirvana; however, following their dissolution, he formed Foo Fighters.

Grohl is a two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, once with Nirvana and again with Foo Fighters. Additionally, he has worked with popular bands such as Them Crooked Vultures, Queens of the Stone Age, and Scream. One might assume that due to his impressive body of work, he came from a musical background. However, that isn’t the case.

Dave Grohl’s father, James, was a journalist, while his mother Virginia’s profession was teaching. According to People Magazine, his father wasn’t particularly pleased with his passion for music, however, his mother encouraged it and also joined him on tour. In a 2017 conversation with the Guardian, Virginia revealed that, as a child, her son was enjoyable to be around. Sometimes, little Dave Grohl participated in mischief, but his actions were mostly harmless. She also said that her now grown-up son is a very nice person and a loving father to three daughters. Virginia said, ” (Dave) was always really fun to be around. He did some devilish things, but I never thought of him as bad.”

Dave Grohl’s mother, Virginia Grohl, died in August 2022. On an episode of the Song Exploder podcast, he opened up about his time with her when she was alive and in a hospital. A few months before his mother’s passing, Grohl lost his good friend/Foo Fighters drummer, Taylor Hawkins, to a drug overdose.

In 2021, Paramount+ released a docuseries titled From Cradle to Stage. Directed by Dave Grohl, it was based on his mother’s autobiographical novel, From Cradle to Stage: Stories from the Mothers Who Rocked and Raised Rock Stars.

Dave Grohl never left his mother’s side until her death

During Grohl’s appearance on the Song Exploder podcast, he told host Hrishikesh Hirway that he never left Virginia’s side till she breathed her last.

He revealed that he randomly wrote music on his guitar to cope with his feelings during that phase of his life. The music lacked direction. However, it did help him feel better about his situation. Grohl stated, “I was with her for all of the time leading up to her passing. Every day during that period, I would write something on the guitar, because I felt that if I didn’t have that release, I would explode. I would spend the day at the hospital and then try to translate it musically — with no clear intention of what I was trying to achieve. I was finding these chords and progressions that mirrored the way that I felt.”

Virginia Grohl reportedly taught at Boardman High School in Boardman Township, Ohio. She married James in 1961 and eventually had Lisa and Dave in 1968 and 1969, respectively. The family initially lived in Ohio, but when Lisa and Dave were kids, they moved to Springfield, Virginia.

Virginia and James divorced when Dave was 6 years old. He eventually married Renie Yoshida Grohl.

Marvel takes Instagram to court to identify @CanWeGetSomeToast

On May 7, 2024, Marvel filed a subpoena request in San Jose’s U.S. District Court California Northern District. The company wanted the court to order Instagram to identify the person or people behind the @CanWeGetSomeToast Instagram account (via piracy-news site TorrentFreak).

The account reportedly “published a copyrighted image from an upcoming Marvel Studios motion picture, ‘Captain America: Brave New World,’ without authorization.” As a result, Marvel filed for a court order as per the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

For those unaware, @CanWeGetSomeToast originally found popularity on X (formerly Twitter). The user, who first established herself through the separate handle of @MyTimeToShineHello, and made her name revealing MCU scoops.

Such scoops allowed her to gain credibility and thousands of followers.

Now, Marvel wishes to find out the identity of the anonymous user. Furthermore, Marvel’s VP of global security and content protection, Matthew Slatoff, also made a statement supporting the subpoena.

He revealed that a senior paralegal at Walt Disney Co. also alerted Instagram about the alleged Captain America: Brave New World leaker sharing the copyrighted image in an Instagram Story. Instagram has yet to comment on the story while the account in question remains to be active.

Captain America: Brave New World arrives on February 14, 2025, and stars Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, Harrison Ford as President Thaddeus Ross, Carl Lumbly as Isaiah Bradley, Liv Tyler as Betty Ross, and Shira Haas as Sabra, alongside Anthony Mackie’s Sam Wilson.

3 Iconic Dune: Part Two Scenes Broken Down by Cinematographer Greig Fraser

(Photo Credit: WB)

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief spoke to Dune: Part Two cinematographer Greig Fraser about the film’s incredible final fight scene between Paul Atreides and Feyd-Rautha. Fraser discussed the sci-fi epic’s flash-forward, the black-and-white infrared scene, and more. Dune: Part Two is out now on digital and on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD.

Tyler Treese: Dune: Part Two is such a stunning film. A lot has been said about the black-and-white infrared scene on the homeland of the Harkonnen. What were the difficulties and challenges of shooting that?

Greig Fraser: There’s been a lot of discussion about the fact that infrared records tones differently. So something that might look black to you and I might record as white, or something that’s gray might record as black. So we never really can tell with our eyes what tone things are gonna record as. That was probably the biggest initial challenge technically. We also had issues with flare. Like with infrared effectively all that cameras are seeing, the only light spectrum that camera is seeing is infrared light, which is no visible light. There’s no blue, no green, no red. So it was effectively, I won’t say it was seeing heat, because heat, seeing heat is a different camera, but it was seeing the invisible spectrum. We were having problems with flare.

Because frankly, Feyd is quite white. He’s quite flairy. There’s a lot of infrared coming off Austin’s face and his head, particularly when he is in full sun. So that was really something where the cameras were having trouble with flare. So we had to make sure that we were choosing the right lenses. Occasionally, there were a few lenses we couldn’t shoot with because they just flared too much. So we had to make sure we stopped down, and we made sure that the filters weren’t buckling up. It was a big, big challenge, big lighting challenge.

Another scene that just was so great was when we see Paul’s sister played by Anya Taylor-Joy in that flash-forward we see the ocean. That’s such a stark change from the constant desert. What was your approach for shooting that scene?

Well, what was nice about that was because it was in the script. It was in the script effectively, and it wasn’t a foregone conclusion that we were going to be shooting that scene because often when you are making a film if you go over in some areas, you have to cut back in other areas. That scene we shot in Namibia and it was the only scene that we shot in Namibia. So yeah, the rest of the movie we shot in Budapest, in Jordan, in Italy, and in Abu Dhabi. And for a small crew at the end of filming, we went down to Namibia for a few days to film this scene. It wasn’t a foregone conclusion at the beginning that we were going to be able to do that.

So we wanted to make sure that when we shot it, that it felt like the same desert up to a certain point. It wanted to feel like it was a completely natural segue into an ocean and sand. So we shot, first of all, we shot it initially to feel like it was in Abu Dhabi or that in Arrakis, but then discovering the ocean felt like it was kind of a big change. So yeah, we just kind of kept the camera moving the same way that it was moving in the past.

The scene where Paul goes south and he gives the big speech, we see him wade through this massive crowd. How was it shooting that sequence? Because that’s almost as much of a spectacle as anything else.

We obviously had to carefully plan that because I don’t think that many people existed in Budapest, let alone anywhere else. We couldn’t actually get that many people together. So I think we got a fair few people together, but really I think the planning stage of that, where we were tiling, but for me, what’s great about that is that sense of scale.

Because, again, the film itself is a study of scale. It’s a study of the smallest kind of little kind of desert mouse, the Muad’Dib, all the way through the largest sandworms. So a scene like that kind of helps with that idea of this small human, small physically, normal small human sort of wading through this kind of sea of humanity. It felt like it was analogous there to the sand that the sandworms move through. But that was kind of the thinking was that we make it feel like it was all in that same world.

Does Nikki Glaser have a boyfriend?

Yes, Nikki Glaser has a boyfriend named Chris Convy. However, the duo have been in an on-again/off-again relationship for a decade, as of May 2024.

In a recent interview with Howard Stern, Glaser admitted that their breakups were caused by her struggle with the idea of commitment, as it could be viewed as defeat on her part. 

The Lovers and Liars host also admitted in the Howard Stern interview that one of the key reasons she and Chris Convy ended up having breakups was because she would not directly talk with Convy about complaints or concerns she had, but instead address them on her podcasts.

Glaser also revealed in a 2022 Graham Bensinger interview that she encouraged Convy to have casual relations with other women and that she would be okay with it, provided he did not desire a romantic relationship with them.

Who is Chris Convy?

Jujutsu Kaisen: Strongest Female Characters: Maki, Yuki, & More

Nobara, Maki, Yuki (Photo Credit: MAPPA)

The intensity of shonen anime comes from its very own title. Shōnen, which means a youthful young man, has produced a wide range of male leads, such as the tough muscleman Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star or the cheerful outgoing Goku from Dragon Ball. It is essential to write female characters in shōnen anime with an equal amount of skill because they are just as loved by girls and women worldwide. They do not have to be flawless; however, they should give more than mere spectacle’ through their action. Fortunately, some shōnen anime series still contain independent, solid female protagonists. One of them is Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami, which features one of the best character arcs ever for a female in an anime.

Maki Zen’in

She brings a version of rebellion, born weak and injured by her birthright, into the story of Jujutsu Kaisen. Being born into the Zen’in Clan line, Maki was born without energy, so in the world of jujutsu, she was at a very major disadvantage. She even takes this glaring weakness and turns it around to be her greatest power—a focus on physical ability and mastery of cursed tools. Maki’s story is nothing short of irresistible as she goes on to show open rebellion against the strict and traditional confinements of family and social expectations. Its story speaks to themes of breaking out of oppressive structures and making a unique way for oneself, and hence, it inspires many fans.

Yuki Tsukumo

Jujutsu Kaisen

She is a special-grade sorcerer, embodies enigma and strength in Jujutsu Kaisen. She is very much the casual girl, at times even bordering on nonchalance. However, there is real wisdom in dealing with all the bustle of the world of jujutsu and cursed energy under that mask. She is not only a powerhouse of strength but also one among those visionaries who are vying for more profound changes in the energy dynamics, which has been cursed.

Bringing Yuki’s character into the series adds a deeper layer that develops and illuminates the series. This results in causing conversations and theories about her true motives or suggestions from more extensive meanings of what she does.

Nobara Kugisaki

She was a character that epitomized independence and defiance to the core. Yuki felt no repentance for being as self-reliant and independent as she was confident without falling into gender traps. She has a unique style of combat. From a hammer and nails combined with cursed energy, all combined in an ungodly manner. Her story is an intense story of self-identity, resilience, and assertion of femininity in a world dominated by males.

Utahime Lori

Utahime (Photo Credit: MAPPA)

As a teacher at Kyoto Jujutsu High, Utahime Iori provides a nuanced perspective on the series’ events and dynamics. Considering this, her position is not much less important than that of the warrior, who is supposed to stand in front significantly more than her. 

Her interactions, especially with the likes of Gojo Satoru, add to the storyline, and relatively. They add some insights into the professional and personal interactions within the Jujutsu Society. The characters of Utahime depict the guidance, experiences, and sometimes the selfless services they get from the people who shape and train generations of sorcerers.

Mai Zen’in

Jujutsu Kaisen

Like Maki and her twin, Mai Zen’in also performed terribly in her own house. She had superior innate witchcraft than Maki but was still below the family average. Still, she would have been satisfied being under their thumb if only Maki had kept her promise to be with Mai through thick and thin. However, when Maki moved to Jujutsu High, things changed drastically.

She felt tricked and trapped by studying for a job that she hated. This caused her to vent out fury on classmates, who mainly targeted Maki. Strangely enough, this girl hated sorcery so much that she would instead use guns rather than magic wands or broomsticks. She is not evil because she is unkind. Instead, it is because she has been wronged that we feel sympathy for her tragic fate.

Spacey Unmasked: Who Is Kevin Spacey’s Brother Randy Fowler?

Disclaimer: This article contains mentions of sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.

Channel 4’s Spacey Unmasked looks into the claims brought up by Kevin Spacey’s brother, Randy Fowler, among other accusations. The documentary, which reveals sexual allegations against the two-time Oscar-winning actor, also discloses traumatic childhood experiences.

Kevin Spacey and his elder brother Fowler are now estranged. A 2017 Page Six report stated that the latter was a limo driver living in Boise, Idaho, then. They have an elder sister, Julie, who left home when she was 18. In 2017, Fowler released his memoir, A Moment in Time: Living in the Shadows.

Spacey Unmasked premiered on May 6 and May 7 in the U.K. and explores allegations of sexual misconduct against Kevin Spacey. The two-part documentary features interviews with ten individuals who have accused Spacey of sexually abusing them. Per The Hollywood Reporter, These men were not involved in the 2023 trial when he was acquitted of nine counts of sexual assault. In 2022, he also stood trial in New York on allegations actor Anthony Rapp filed against him. A jury had found him not guilty back then.

Randy Fowler made shocking claims about their childhood and his relationship with Spacey. Fowler, who appeared in Spacey Unmasked, alleged that their late father, Thomas Fowler, was a white supremacist and held secret Nazi meetings at their family home. He said the actor “didn’t have a normal childhood,” per The Wrap. Spacey’s brother further claimed that Thomas sexually abused both brothers when they were children.

The House of Cards actor has previously criticized Channel 4, claiming that the “dying network” attacked him with a “one-sided documentary,” per The Hindu. He believes the network did not handle the allegations against him and did not give him sufficient time to respond.

What did Kevin Spacey’s brother Randy Fowler reveal in Spacey Unmasked?

According to The Wrap, Randy Fowler spoke out about their childhood under the care of their white supremacist father. Fowler claimed their father was “full of so much hate.” The brothers grew up terrified of him and that Spacey “didn’t have a normal childhood.” Fowler further alleged that the Oscar-winner opted for a “way to survive in an environment that was not a loving family.”

Randy Fowler claimed their father “blamed the world for all of his problems” and denied the Holocaust occurred. Fowler said that Thomas “used to have these Nazi meetings at the house” and recalled “a big Nazi flag hanging up on the wall” in his father’s office. He added, “My father had a riding crop, and he used to beat the s–t out of me. Looking at it from my brother’s perspective, all he saw was Randy got into trouble a lot and he would just split. I never saw my father ever lay a hand on my brother, ever.”

In Channel 4’s documentary, Fowler further alleged that their father sexually assaulted him when he was a boy. Fowler claimed the assault began in the summer of 1961 when he was “only 13, 14 years old.” It occurred repeatedly throughout the years of his childhood. Describing the first instance, he said, “My father took me up to the master bedroom and raped me, he sodomized me, he gave me oral sex.”

Randy Fowler added that he screamed for his mother, who allegedly came knocking at the upstairs bedroom. She reportedly banged on the door, asking, “‘What’s going on in there?’” He added, that his father “put his arm up against my neck, threw me against the wall and said, ‘Don’t say a word.’ Then all of a sudden there was silence and she just walked away.” Fowler claimed that it went on for years after that.

Per Vulture, Fowler revealed in Spacey Unmasked that he had to threaten his father for the abuse to stop so he would not hurt Spacey. Despite that, he believes the actor’s childhood was difficult because of their family dynamics and the “violent” household they grew up in. Spacey’s acting became an “escape” because of “where he came from.”

Page Six reported that Randy Fowler previously spoke about their father’s sexual abuse in 2017. It was around the same time sexual assault allegations against Spacey had surfaced. Before that, Fowler had talked about their father in a 2004 interview when he first revealed about the assault. He had alleged that Thomas was a part of the American Nazi Party, describing him as an ultra-right-wing and a pervert.

According to CBS News, Fowler described their family home as a “house of horrors.” He claimed that he and Spacey never spoke about the abuse. Fowler also said that he was unsure if Spacey and their elder sister Julie suffered from the same abuse.

The Statesman reported that Randy Fowler was born in Colorado and is three years older than Kevin Spacey. Reportedly, Spacey was 16 years old when Fowler left their family home in 1975. Spacey Unmasked premiered on May 13 on Investigation Discovery for the U.S. audience and is now streaming on Max.

Milli Vanilli Scandal: Did Rob Pilatus and Fab Morvan Lip Sync To Pre-Recorded Tracks?

The short-lived band Milli Vanilli consisted of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus and played German R&B music. They were popular in the late 80s and early 90s, selling millions of records worldwide. Interestingly, their reputation suffered a blow when people realized that the duo didn’t sing in any of their songs.

Milli Vanilli’s lip sync scandal changed the rules of music for the good. According to the Independent, German producer Frank Farian was the brains behind this project. Their music had the classic 80s vibe, and fans across Europe and the USA adored them. Some of their most famous songs are “Blame It On The Rain” and “Girl You Know It’s True. Furthermore, their 1989 album Girl You Know It’s True earned them a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1990.

Milli Vanilli enjoyed considerable success until their July 1989 MTV live performance. Radio Times reported that during this endeavor, fans realized that the duo wasn’t singing their songs because a hard drive caused the song Girl You Know It’s True to be skipped. The moment this occurred, Pilatus realized that their secret had been exposed. He once recalled the incident by stating that once people learned the truth, Milli Vanilli’s fans numbered. When the computer kept repeating his voice, he panicked and fled the stage. Pilatus stated, “When my voice got stuck in the computer, and it just kept repeating and repeating, I panicked. I didn’t know what to do. I just ran off the stage.”

Once Milli Vanilli’s lip sync scandal came under the limelight, they returned their 1990 Grammy Award. Eventually, with zero credibility left, Pilatus and Morvan went their separate ways in the same year.

The 2023 Luke Korem-directed Paramount+ documentary Milli Vanilli explored this duo’s rise and fall.

What happened to Rob Pilatus, and where is Fab Morvan now?

According to Radio Times, the real voices behind Milli Vanilli’s music were Brad Howell and John Davis. Following their humiliating revelation, Ron Pilatus and Fab Morvan were inactive for several years. However, in 1998, the duo came back together, and to redeem themselves, they recorded a comeback album titled Back and in Attack. Unfortunately, this album never came out because Pilatus died in the same year. Per The Washington Post, Pilatus was heavily addicted to drugs and died in a hotel room on April 2, 1998, after consuming pills and alcohol.

According to People Magazine, Fab Morvan, now 57, lives with his family in Amsterdam. Morvan’s family consists of his partner, Tessa van der Steen, and four children, Sacha, Solange, Paris, and Vince. Fatherhood has substantially helped him move on from his past. However, music remains one of his first loves. He stated, “I said to myself, ‘Hey, let’s go for it. You’ve got nothing to lose. I saw the light at the end of the tunnel.” Even though Milli Vanilli is infamous for the lip sync scandal, Morvan has accepted its convoluted legacy. Interestingly, he credits his time with the German R&B for this current state of peace and stability.

Olivia Munn has been battling breast cancer since she was diagnosed in 2023. She has had a total of five surgeries, four in the previous year and one more recently in April. Many fans want to learn more about Munn’s journey in battling breast cancer and the actress has given them a new insight into her current health situation. Here is everything you need to know.

Olivia Munn reveals details about her breast cancer journey

Olivia Munn recently had her fifth surgery in her battle against breast cancer. It was an oophorectomy and hysterectomy, involving the removal of fallopian tubes, the uterus, and ovaries from her body.

It was revealed in March this year that Olivia Munn had been diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023. This is because the actress shared a post about her health on Instagram that confirmed her diagnosis. She described the cancer as “aggressive” and “fast-moving.”

Munn recently spoke with Vogue about her breast cancer battle, detailing her whole experience to the publication. She mentioned having been diagnosed with luminal B breast cancer in both her breasts after her ob-gyn calculated her BCRA (Breast Cancer Risk Assessment) and got a concluding figure of 37%, which was enough to warrant an MRI. Olivia’s doctor, Thaïs Aliabadi, then suggested she get a double mastectomy as it had a high chance of helping the actress beat her cancer.

Munn then mentioned that she dived deep into her treatment, during which she had her partner John Mulaney, and their son Malcolm by her side. She then worked with her doctors to create an intensive treatment plan that involved four surgeries in a span of ten months. First, the double mastectomy, followed by a lymph node dissection, reconstructive surgery, and then a nipple delay.

She then took Lupron, an estrogen-suppressing drug that carried the side effect of keeping her tired. Desiring an alternative, she then opted for the aforementioned oophorectomy and hysterectomy. According to Munn, opting for her recent surgery instead of continuing Lupron, was a big decision.

However, Munn highlighted that during her time dealing with various surgeries, she had the support of various friends and family members.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu left everyone on the edge of their seats with her performance in the 2022 film Yashoda. While it started off as a drama, it soon took a thrilling turn. However, it received mixed reactions from both critics and the audience. Some found the film’s plot interesting, while others called it a half-baked story. Nevertheless, the film was widely watched on Amazon Prime Video.

Despite mixed reviews, the movie has piqued the interest of audiences to know whether it is based on a true story. It follows the story of a young woman who arrives at a surrogacy center, only to uncover a shocking truth behind it. The movie’s official synopsis reads, “An innocent woman, Yashoda, agrees to be a surrogate mother due to her circumstances. She then finds herself trapped in a world of uncertainties. Amidst a myriad of politicians, doctors, and powerful people, how does she battle her way out?”

Is Samantha Ruth Prabhu’s Yashoda inspired by true events?

Ahead of Yashoda’s release, writer-director duo K Hari Shankar and Hareesh Narayan discussed the story’s origin. In an interview with Pinkvilla, the two revealed that the film was based on a true incident. However, they did add some psychological thrill to the story.

They said, “The backdrop of the story is about a crime which is happening without the knowledge of anyone in society. The crime which we are showing is based on a true incident but we have added some psychological thriller flavour to it. It is about a crime that is confronted by a normal girl when she learns about it. How she exposes the plot.”

In addition to Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the cast includes Varalaxmi Sarath Kumar and Unni Mukundan. The film also features Rao Ramesh, Sampath Raj, Murali Sharma, Madhurima, Kalpika Ganesh, and more.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: What Happened to Cornelius?

Image Credit: Twentieth Century Fox

Since the release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, fans have been wondering what happened to Cornelius (Devyn Dalton). He was one of the main characters in War for the Planet of the Apes, the third entry in the reboot franchise. Despite numerous threats to his life, he is shown to be alive at the end of the 2017 movie.

Here is everything we know about Cornelius and what happened to him in the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

Who is Cornelius and is he the main ape in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?

Cornelius is the youngest son of Caesar (Andy Serkis), the leader of the evolved apes. In War for the Planet of the Apes, The Colonel (Woody Harrelson), the primary antagonist of the film, kills Caesar’s wife Cornelia and his eldest son, Blue Eyes. Cornelius survives the attack but is not the protagonist of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

In War for the Planet of the Apes, it was revealed that the Simian Flu, which caused the fall of humanity and the rise of the apes, underwent a significant mutation. It began to take away human beings’ capacity for higher thinking, effectively turning them into animals. In one of the last bitter struggles between humans and apes, Caesar was fatally wounded. Upon his passing, his advisor Maurice (Karin Konoval) promises him that he will tell Cornelius about his father and the impact he had on the lives of the apes.

The main narrative of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set centuries after the third film. So, Cornelius is understandably not the leading ape in the story. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes revolves around Noa (Owen Teague), an evolved chimpanzee from the Eagle Clan. He sets out to rescue his clan from the clutches of Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand), a ruthless bonobo despot.

What happened to Cornelius in Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes?

Caesar’s funeral takes place in the prologue of the film before the time skip. Fans can presume that Cornelius, as his father’s only heir, inherited some of his father’s authority and standing in the ape tribe after Ceasar’s death. Maurice also would have been there to advise him for several years and impart his father’s teachings to him.

But he would have eventually died with time as the film takes place close to 300 years after his father’s death. However, the exact reason behind Cornelius’ death remains a mystery.

The 2023 Telugu movie Plot marked the first project in which Vikas Muppala played a full-fledged lead role. While the movie received decent reviews, it did not work well at the box office. Seemingly, the movie faced a delay in its OTT debut due to the box office failure.

As per IMDb, Plot’s official synopsis reads, “A failed businessman, finally, tastes success in real estate. This turns into an obsession and now he would go to any extent to do business and not fail. An anonymous person threatens him to stop his successful business.”

When will Vikas’ Plot be released on ETV Win?

In most cases, South Indian movies make their digital debut about four to eight weeks after their exclusive theatrical release. However, at times, some projects face delays in their OTT debut.

According to a report by OTTplay, Plot was set to hit the streaming platform on March 28, 2024. However, it did not happen. Now, the report claims that the movie will be available to stream on ETV Win starting May 16, 2024.

Besides Vikas Muppala, the movie also features Gayathri Gupta and Sajiv Pasala in leading roles. Bhanu Bhava Tharaka wrote and directed the film and co-produced it with Karthik Sepuru and Tharun Vigneshwar Sepuru.

Muppala was seemingly excited about the movie. Ahead of its release in the theaters, he wrote, “PLOT releasing in theatres on November 3rd. My first project in a full-length lead role. Our team is so excited to show you what we have done.”

He received a lot of praise for playing the lead role in the movie. Moreover, Gayatri Gupta’s portrayal of the leading lady also impressed many.

Furiosa: Anya Taylor-Joy Details ‘Hard’ & Lonely Mad Max Filming

Image Credit: Warner Bros.

The highly anticipated Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga starring Anya Taylor-Joy brings another stunt-heavy outing in the franchise. But filming George Miller’s new prequel took a hefty toll on the actress as conditions weren’t necessarily easy for her. Here’s what she had to say about the production.

Anya Taylor-Joy teases intense Furiosa filming conditions

Playing the younger version of Mad Max: Fury Road’s Furiosa might seem nice on paper, but it came with some major challenges for Anya Taylor-Joy. She revealed that the filming was “hard” and lonely for her.

While speaking with the New York Times, she said:

“I’ve never been more alone than making that movie. I don’t want to go too deep into it, but everything that I thought was going to be easy was hard.”

Anya Taylor-Joy takes over from Charlize Theron to portray the origin story of Imperator Furiosa. She expected the filming to be intense and wished to grow as an actor by being put into extreme circumstances. Eventually, she got exactly that working with Miller.

Speaking of the director, The Queen’s Gambit actor had nothing but praises. She described Miller’s understanding of Furiosa, stating that he mostly wanted her to act with her eyes without using her mouth and emotions a lot.

Her vision of the character differed from Miller’s sometimes as she advocated adding a bit of rage to Furiosa’s stoicism. She revealed that there was a particular scream that she had to pitch for three months to get added to the film.

But she also stayed very flexible with portraying how Miller wanted her to execute his vision. She added:

“I wanted to make sure that I was never insolent in any way, that it was always a conversation. At the end of the day, this is his vision. I can present everything that I have, but his word goes.”

However, the actress confirmed that even though it was an unforgettable experience she’d never regret, she needed a two-year break after going through grueling circumstances on set.

LA Knight Reacts to Recent Fan Backlash in WWE Booking

Photo Credit: WWE

Following his recent match, WWE superstar LA Knight has messaged the fans in response to the backlash. WWE initiated the King and Queen of the Ring tournament qualifiers on RAW and SmackDown. Initially, the promotion announced matches for both shows. However, due to time constraints, they relocated some qualifying matches to live events.

Fans attending WWE live events this past weekend witnessed matches like Kofi Kingston vs. Rey Mysterio and Shayna Baszler vs. Maxxine Dupri from the RAW side. Similarly, matches such as Tiffany Stratton vs. Michin and LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar from SmackDown were moved to live events. However, many fans expressed dissatisfaction with this situation as WWE did not broadcast these matches on TV.

LA Knight addressed the fans’ dissatisfaction on X (formerly Twitter) regarding not being able to see the matches. He expressed gratitude for fans wanting to watch the matches on TV. However, he also mentioned that live shows are where many wrestlers have the most fun, especially with stakes like these, making it even more enjoyable.

The King and Queen of the Ring tournament qualifying matches feature top stars from both RAW and SmackDown. As the tournament progresses, excitement among the fans is growing with each match.

LA Knight advances to WWE King of the Ring semi-finals

While LA Knight didn’t have his King of the Ring tournament qualifying match televised, he faced Santos Escobar over the past weekend and emerged victorious. This win secured his spot in the semi-finals of the King of the Ring tournament.

In the upcoming semi-finals, LA Knight will square off against The Bloodline member Tama Tonga, who defeated Angelo Dawkins on WWE SmackDown with The Bloodline at ringside last week. Tama Tonga’s win was aided by The Bloodline’s distraction. Given Knight’s history with The Bloodline, it will be intriguing to see if they once again interfere and affect his opportunity this Friday on WWE SmackDown.

C Control: Is There a Manga & Where to Read

Does the C Control anime have a manga and where can you read it? This anime came out more than a decade ago, but some fans might want to check out the series. Here is a guide on the C Control manga and where to read it.

Is there a C Control The Money of Soul and Possibility manga?

Unfortunately, C Control, also known as [C] The Money of Soul and Possibility Control, does not have a manga. It is an anime TV original.

C Control is an anime original series directed by Kenji Nakamura (Mononoke, Tsuritama). The anime aired from April 2011 to June 2011 and ran for a total of 11 episodes. Noboru Takagi (Durarara!!, Golden Kamuy) handled the series composition, while Taku Iwasaki (Akame ga Kill!, Gurren Lagann) wrote the music. Tatsunoko Production was the studio behind the anime series.

Where to read C Control manga

Unfortunately, there is no available platform to read the C Control manga because it is an anime original. This means it doesn’t have a manga adaptation. You only have the anime as the source content. Either way, the anime is interesting to watch since it involves money and economics with action battles similar to shonen anime.

C Control or C The Money of Soul and Possibility Control has a page on Crunchyroll, but it’s currently unavailable to watch. If you want to watch the anime, it’s currently available to buy on Apple TV in the United States.

The official synopsis of C Control reads:

“Kimimaro works two jobs to make ends meet. He could go from pauper to prince in a parallel world called the Financial District—if he’ll invest his future as collateral in a dangerous game. Winning gets you more wealth, but losing could erase you from existence. When the destructive forces at play compel Kimimaro to confront the most powerful player, can he save the real world from total collapse?”

Crash K-Drama Episode 1 Recap & Spoilers: Will Lee Min-Ki, Kwak Sun-Young Crack Their First Case?

The highly awaited K-drama Crash premiered episode 1 on Monday, May 13, 2024, at 10 p.m. KST on ENA. Viewers can also stream the episode on Disney Plus. The series, led by Lee Min-Ki and Kwak Sun-Young, follows a group of unique individuals who form the Traffic Crime Investigation Team (TCI) and solve traffic-related crimes.

Episode 1 of Crash gave viewers a glimpse of the Traffic Crime Investigation team, including Jung Chae-Man (Heo Sung-Tae), Min So-Hee (Kwak Sun-Young), Woo Dong-Ki (Lee Ho-Cheol), and Eo Hyun-Kyung (Moon-Hee). So-Hee crossed paths with insurance investigative officer Cha Yeon-Ho (Lee Min-Ki). They suspected a man of killing old people and making it seem like an accident so that he could make money with insurance claims. While investigating, new problems arose that could only hamper the case ahead. Will they crack the case? Only time will tell.

Crash K-drama Episode 1 recap: Lee Min-Ki introduces Kwak Sun-Young to a case

The premier episode of ENA K-drama Crash saw an introduction to the Traffic Crime Investigation unit’s team members Jung Chae-Man, Min So-Hee, Woo Dong-Ki, and Eo Hyun-Kyung. Together, they managed to capture a used car dealership shop that sold cheap and low-quality cars at higher prices. While fighting the men involved in the scam, Min-Hee mistook insurance investigative officer Cha Yeon-Ho as one of the men and hit him.

After they resolved their misunderstanding at the police station, Yeon-Ho asked Min-Hee to look into a case that other police officers declined to take action on. She kept the files aside and went to have dinner with her colleagues. She further argued with her senior and wondered why she had ever joined TCI, which no one cared about. Soon, she received a call from her father informing her of Grandma Bongsoon’s passing away.

Mourning over Grandma Bongsoon’s death, Min-Hee found out more about how she passed away. A man hit her while she was pulling a handcart to collect waste paper. Her father revealed that the perpetrator didn’t have a stable job. Moreover, the culprit also deeply apologized to the victim’s grandson, Jin-Young, and promised to pay settlement money. Min-Hee then found Yeon-Ho inside the hall. The latter revealed that this death was related to the case file he gave her at the police station.

The perpetrator, Jung Hok-Yu, has had five driver’s insurance until now. He caused four accidents in the past year and a half, including Grandma Bongsoon. Among those, three died, and one was seriously injured. However, they were all old grandmothers with no close family members. After he settled with the three families, the court ruled them as accidents and put him on probation. While he settled close to three to five million KRW, he received 120 million won from his driver’s insurance policies.

The team realized that Hok-Yu targeted old people without any close family members so he could reduce the settlement money and keep the rest to himself. The team decided to find proof of Hok-Yu potentially murdering old people so that they could overturn the court’s decision and punish him. Meanwhile, as the team spoke to the victims’ acquaintances, they saw Yeon-Ho also investigating the case. He looked at the same from an insurance fraud angle.

Later, Min-Hee and Chae-Man visited Hok-Yu, who kept apologizing for his mistakes. Yeon-Ho heard their conversation from afar. Upon returning to the station, the rest of the team noted that they found no CCTV cameras nearby where all four accidents occurred. Min-Hee then left to run a simulation exercise at the accident side. She almost hit Yeon-Ho before they collaborated to crack the details of how the accident might have taken place. They realized that the likelihood of Hok-Yu committing a murder was high.

Yeon-Ho further revealed that Hok-Yu would buy another used car a month after causing an accident. This meant the perpetrator might soon book another used car to plot his next target. Min-Hee informed the team, who decided to create a trap. Fortunately, the car dealer turned out to be the same man whom they’d arrested before. After much thought, they decided to use the car dealer and tracked Hok-Yu’s movements when he bought another car.

Meanwhile, Yeon-Ho confronted his colleague, who deliberately closed the insurance fraud case. He took it up with the company director, who didn’t bother. On the other hand, the TCI team realized that Hok-Yu had found his next target, an 81-year-old woman, Yoon Sung-Ja. They decided to follow Hok-Yu and also keep an eye on the old woman.

By the end of the episode, Hok-Yu linked the relationship between the TCI and how they’d caught the car dealers. He realized he was being set on a trap. The following day, Min-Hee and Dong-Ki tracked what they thought to be Hok-Yu’s car. After realising their cover was blown, she asked her team to keep an eye on the old woman.

Hok-Yu, however, decided to attack the car dealer who tried to trap him by collaborating with the TCI. But just as he was about to hit him with his other car, Yeon-Ho came in between. Hok-Yu hit Yeon-Ho, leaving him injured.

To watch what happens next, don’t forget to tune in to Crash on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 10 p.m. KST on ENA and later on Disney Plus.

Here are more details about the new manga chapters releasing this week.

Blue Lock chapter 261 release date and time

Blue Lock chapter 261 will be released on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Fans in the United States of America can read the chapter on Kodansha’s K Manga website and application.

The previous installment of Blue Lock shed light on Kaiser’s backstory. Chapter 260 reveals that Kaiser was a child born out of desire, and his mother left him the moment he was born. This turned Kaiser’s father bitter, and he treated his only son poorly.

Kaiser was subjected to horrors of abuse throughout his childhood until his delinquent friend framed him for theft, and the Bastard Munchen player ended up in prison. As per the Blue Lock chapter 261 spoilers, the upcoming installment will continue Kaiser’s backstory.

Hence, his journey with Bastard Munchen, with the help of Ray Dark, will be further explored. Moreover, Blue Lock chapter 261 spoilers reveal Kaiser’s dynamics with Ness and explain that the way he treats Ness is a reflection of how Kaiser’s father raised him.

In the end, Isagi asks Kaiser to kneel in front of him due to his failed attempt at scoring the goal. However, Noa advises Kaiser to fight through adversity and evolve, hinting at potential development between the two players.

Chainsaw Man chapter 165 release date and time

Chainsaw Man chapter 165 will be released on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Fans can read the chapter on Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website. Alternatively, the chapter will also be available on Viz Media’s official website and Shueisha’s Shonen Jump Plus mobile application.

In the previous chapter, Chainsaw Man showed Denji desperately looking for Nayuta. Although Asa and others joined him on his venture, they were of no help to him. Moreover, War Devil Yoru kept pestering Denji to turn into Chainsaw Man and fight her. Asa, too, asked him to do the same so he could live an ordinary life.

However, Denji’s persistence to find Nayuta remains the highlight of the issue. Chainsaw Man chapter 165 will show Denji continuing his search for Nayuta. The issue will also include treating Denji to sushi, followed by helping him in his diligent search.

Furthermore, it can be expected that Chainsaw Man chapter 165 will show Fami locating Nayuta. But her whereabouts will not be revealed easily, and Denji might have to comply with Fami and Yoru’s demands to ensure that Nayuta is safe.

Although no verifiable spoilers are available, Yoru and others will likely take advantage of Denji’s vulnerability in exchange for Nayuta’s details.

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 release date and time

Oshi no Ko chapter 149 will be released on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Readers can access the chapter via Shueisha’s MANGA Plus website and mobile application.

The previous chapter of Oshi no Ko saw the star cast of 15 Year Lie going on a much-needed beach holiday. The movie’s director, Taishi Gotanda, tagged along with the group, later stating that he was not fond of acting like a father on a Sunday.

In the end, surprisingly, Kana told Akane to get back together with Aqua. This happened after Kana tried to lure Aqua by asking him to put sunscreen on her. Oshi no Ko chapter 149 spoilers reveal that the upcoming issue will continue Kana and Akane’s conversation.

According to the Oshi no Ko chapter 149 spoilers, Kana reveals that she observed Aqua and Akane talking in a flirtatious manner with each other. Seeing them burst her bubble, she realized she misunderstood Aqua’s intentions.

However, Akane convinces Kana of her beauty and tells her to pursue Aqua. Although Kana denies the allegations of having feelings for Aqua, Akane tells her that she approves of Kana as Aqua’s ex-girlfriend.

Mairimashita Iruma-Kun chapter 348 release date and time

Mairimashita Iruma-kun chapter 348 will be released on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 8 a.m. PDT. Interested readers can access the chapter on Akita Shonen and Kodansha’s website.

Mairimashita Iruma-kun’s recent chapter consisted of Jazz and others getting a lamp from Iruma. After they get the lamp, they enter a desolate museum where they strike a cursed doll, and it clings to Lied.

The museum consists of various other ordeals, ending with a horrifying painting that speaks to them. The painting, “The Smiling Galna,” yells at them, and the trio seems paralyzed in fear.

Following the previous chapter’s events, Mairimashita Iruma-kun chapter 348 will continue Jazz, Lied, and Purson’s adventure in the Magitools Moebius Art Museum.

Although there are no verifiable spoilers for the chapter, fans can expect the upcoming issue to show the trio’s interaction with The Smiling Galna. With their terrible experience with the painting, they will likely try to run away from the spot.

Atsushi Ohkubo’s Fire Force is highly regarded for its gorgeous visuals, impeccable sound design, and exceptional characters. Being a shonen series, most of the characters boast their vast and powerful skill set. However, a few of these manage to stand out from the rest because they are the strongest characters in the series. Whether they control flames or create them, these fire users are the strongest in the show.

1. The Evangelist

This being exists beyond human comprehension. This higher-plane being was responsible for the Cataclysm and planned to wreak more havoc on the world. They can transform people into infernals and also cause city-wide earthquakes. They’re also behind the Adolla Links.

They control the world’s population by concocting the idea of the Holy Sol Temple. This physical entity has a far-reaching effect on how everyone sees their current world.

2. Shinmon Benimaru

Leonard Burns is a great leader for the company. However, this doesn’t imply that he is the best firefighter out there. Shinmon Benimaru has proved himself to be the strongest human in the Fire Force universe. He is the captain of Company 7, Asakusa’s Neighbourhood Watch.

He is a rare Second and Third Generation hybrid. Shinmon can create his flames and also manipulate those around him. People love him for his strength and loyalty. He is capable of taking down rare infernals entirely on his own while ensuring that people around him are safe.

3. Charon

He is the Second Pillar’s guardian. Charon is a White Clad serving the Evangelist. He specializes in close-quarter combat and is undoubtedly one of the most overpowering characters. He is a second-generation pyrokinetic, which means he can’t create flames. However, he is still a formidable opponent and must not be taken lightly.

He becomes stronger with more attacks he takes. This means attacking him is useless. Charon goes around with a group of followers who attack him when he needs an energy boost. Keeping aside this power boost, his raw strength is terrifying.

4. Joker

According to fans, Joker is one of the best antiheroes in Fire Force. He showcases a peculiar card-themed pyrokinetic ability. Joker can be seen creating flames to light up his signature cigarettes. He can also manifest fire into card suits that he can launch at his enemies.

There is a lot that is not known about Joker due to the constant air of mystery trailing behind him. It was later revealed in the series that he is the Fourth Pillar’s guardian. Despite the uncertainty, fans still love his character.

5. Shinra Kusakabe

Some of the best fighting prowess in Fire Force is shown by Shinra. He is a new member, which implies there is a lot of room for improvement. Shinra is capable of creating jets from his feet that he uses to fly around and perform powerful kicks. He leaves behind a creepy-looking trail that resembles sooty footprints. People call it “The Devil’s Footprints.”

Being the protagonist of the series, Shinra possesses some exciting powers. His Devil’s Footprints is a versatile power that helps him maneuver and put gumption behind his attacks.

Baby Reindeer: Where Is the Real-Life Martha Now?

Disclaimer: This article contains mentions of stalking and harassment. Reader discretion is advised.

Netflix series Baby Reindeer explored the real-life events that took place in comedian/actor Richard Gadd’s life. The show primarily focuses on a struggling comedian named Donny Dunn and his strange relationship with a woman named Martha Scott. As the story progresses, Donny’s life turns upside-down when he is stalked by Martha. Despite Gadd’s efforts to protect the stalker’s identity, a woman, Fiona Harvey, has recently claimed that the character of Martha was inspired by her.

According to The Sun, Fiona Harvey hails from Fyvie, Aberdeenshire. Her identity came to light when internet sleuths tracked her down after watching the series and exposed her identity. Following this, Harvey came forward with her side of the story and sat down with Piers Morgan for an interview. During the interview, Harvey shared that she received a lot of “death threats” after the series premiere. She added, “No, I think I’d be sick. It’s taken over enough of my life. I find it quite obscene. I find it horrifying, misogynistic.”

Fiona Harvey also denied sending a larger number of emails and audio messages to Richard Gadd. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the stalker sent Gadd over “41,000 emails, 744 tweets, 100 pages of letters, and 350 hours of voicemails.” In the interview, Harvey admitted that she and Gadd exchanged emails but emphasized that the show’s creator and media were exaggerating the numbers. She added, “That’s simply not true. There may have been a couple of emails exchanging, but that was it. Just jokey banter emails. Less than 10.”

She called Richard Gadd “psychotic” and claimed that she never contacted Richard Gadd through the phone. Although Fiona Harvey has already clarified that she would sue Netflix over the series, Morgan noted that she lied “quite a lot” during the interview, reported Business Insider India.

According to People Magazine, Fiona Harvey, the real-life Martha, currently lives in London.

What is the real story behind Richard Gadd’s series?

Scottish actor Richard Gadd portrays Donny in the series Baby Reindeer. According to him, the story of Donny represents his real-life experience with a stalker when he was in his 20s. According to GQ India, the stalker came into Gadd’s life after he met her at the bar where he worked.

While working, the comedian/actor started a conversation with the woman when she said she couldn’t afford a drink. People Magazine reported that Gadd offered her a drink and told her that it was on the house. Baby Reindeer shows a similar series of events as it progresses.

The outlet also mentioned that the stalker (depicted as Martha in the series) continued stalking Richard Gadd for four years and sent him several messages. People close to Gadd initially believed that the comedian-turned-actor had “an admirer.” 

However, the woman soon started stalking him and sent him thousands of audio messages and emails. In an interview with The Times, Gadd added, “Then she started to invade my life, following me, turning up at my gigs, waiting outside my house, sending thousands of voicemails and emails.”

Police never helped Gadd in the stalking incident

Richard Gadd told The Guardian in 2019 that he went to the police and told them about the stalking. However, his meetings with the authorities didn’t yield any results because they believed Gadd was harassing them by telling them about his stalking incident. He said, “I was getting told off for harassing the police about being harassed.” The actor also asserted feeling “physically scared” because he didn’t know how far his stalker would go.

However, stalking is not the only reason why Gadd decided to come out with a play and then a series about his life. The stalking began after a popular TV writer repeatedly sexually assaulted Richard Gadd in his London apartment. Although the series received critical acclaim from viewers, the Netflix series found itself in controversy when fans tried to find the real identity of the characters. As a result, the UK government sent an official warning to Netflix amid the controversy.

Baby Reindeer is currently available for streaming on Netflix and holds a rating of 98% on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.

Girls K-Pop Group NewJeans’ Parents Comment on HYBE Chairman Bang Si Hyuk’s Treatment

The ADOR versus HYBE conflict took a new turn when the parents of NewJeans members came forward to comment on the issue. Later, HYBE issued another statement about some of the claims made in the NewJeans’ parents’ email.

For the unversed, the HYBE vs. Min Hee Jin’s ADOR issue stems from HYBE starting an audit to investigate the CEO’s current management. HYBE further alleged that Min Hee Jin planned to take over ADOR with various schemes. So far, ADOR’s head has refuted the claims. They released multiple statements accusing HYBE of being unable to manage numerous sub-labels and stealing some original ideas of NewJeans.

HYBE vs. ADOR controversy: NewJeans’ parents on Bang Si-Hyuk’s actions

The latest statement of NewJeans’ parents on HYBE and chairman Bang Si Hyuk is causing a stir on the Internet. As per reports, HYBE received the original email on April 3 after Min Hee Jin acquired it on March 31.

The email points out how ADOR’s NewJeans received different treatment than other HYBE groups. In the email, the parents claimed: “We wonder why HYBE’s chairman, Bang Si Hyuk, ignored the NewJeans members and their greetings whenever he ran into them at the company.”

The statement added: “First, we had doubts when we heard from the children, “He must not have recognized us,” and asked them again several times. However, this happened on several occasions, and as there were times when they ran into him alone on different dates and different locations, he must have recognized the members to be NewJeans.”

The parents of NewJeans emphasized that Chairman Bang si Hyuk has ignored the group’s greetings on multiple occasions. They revealed: “After hearing more than one or two instances of standing blankly in the elevator because it was embarrassing to be ignored.” The statement added that [Bang Si Hyuk] was ‘pretending’ not to see them and ‘intentionally’ avoiding them. The letter explained the parents’ mixed emotions at this “childish and unbelievable situation.” They added, “We were at a loss as nothing we could say to our children. These members are just of middle school and high school age.”

In addition to Bang Si Hyuk’s treatments, they highlighted the similarities between Belift’s new group and NewJeans. The statement pointed out the similarities between NewJeans’s content and that of other groups, which had already been ‘mass-produced.’ Surprisingly, ‘the other group’ that seemingly took NewJeans’ style of content came from the same parent company.

HYBE vs. ADOR controversy: HYBE Responds to NewJeans’ Claims

In response to NewJeans’ latest statement, HYBE issued a quick response refuting some of the allegations. The home company of BTS said: “We received the mentioned email on April 3, and we already replied on April 16 with content including that it is not plagiarism. We also want to state that the claim that the start of the ADOR incident was due to “neglect such as not responding to greetings” is a one-sided argument and not true. We find it very unfortunate that Min Hee Jin uses an old-fashioned practice as she drags in artists and their families in her battles for her personal greed.”

HYBE further accused Min Hee Jin of using email as one of the techniques to attack HYBE, a part of her ‘management takeover’ plan. The music conglomerate expressed ‘dismay’ at Min Hee Jin’s behavior, using artists as shields for her gain and even putting their parents at the forefront.
