Finding out about The Great being cancelled right at the start physically hurt. I wanted news not pain.

I'm glad that the cast of Riverdale are finally freed from the shackles of ludicrous writing and inane plot points. I'm honestly looking forward to what they'll do next, since they're all very talented, but were being wasted, though at least they were steadily employed for six years.

The only news I remember is that The Idol got canceled after only one season, Lizzo, and the Michael Oher situation. It seems like HBO listened to the negative reviews but at the same time, they're the same network that renewed Velma for a second season.

1.) Even though it was met with mixed reviews, Blue beetle is met with mostly positive reviews as it breaks the box office making history with not only the first Latin American director, but also having a predominately Latin American and Indigenous cast being the lead characters in a live action superhero movie. 2.) Coincidentally after Blue beetle’s opening day, Xolo Maridueña releases his debut single on my way in collaboration with Adriana Padilla. 3.) AMC has also negotiated with SAG-AFTRA and productions of TV shows like season 2 of interview with the vampire and the Walking dead Daryl Dixon spin-off resume production but that doesn’t mean that the entire strike is over. 4.) Ruby Franke who is infamously known for running the KZread channel 8 Passengers was also arrested by the Utah Police after one of her children crawled out of a window to seek help which also caused the Utah Child services to get involved. 5.) Charles Martinet who is famously known for voicing Mario announces his retirement of voicing the character.

I missed so much this month wtf 💀 like 60 seconds in my jaw was dropping but then. It. Kept. Going.
Way too much happened this month. But I would add Iggy Azeali writing a letter in support of Tory Lanez sentencing before the release of her come back single. I had been looking forward to it, but I’m completely disgusted that she chose to support a man recently convicted of shooting another female rapper. Not okay in the slightest especially since he continues to deny his actions despite being literally convicted in the court of law. I’m not a fan of the United States justice and prison system, but violence against women should be punished swiftly and his lack of remorse is disrespectful to Megan and the rap industry as a whole.

I stopped listening to Iggy when she kept attacking a woman for having an affair with her baby daddy putting her on blast and calling her profanities, but not having the same energy for him, and this was around the time he wouldn’t even sign the birth certificate to her newborn child. Not saying the woman was right, but hold him accountable as well not just her. Then this whole Megan the stallion situation…I just can’t support women who don’t support women.
Here are some more U.K. specific pop culture moments: 1. Soap actress Catherine Tyldesley or her management is accused by a small bakery of asking for 100 cupcakes and 2 large cakes for free in return for ‘exposure’ in OK Magazine. The small bakery reveals this on social media and the scandal is called #CakeGate. 2. England Lionesses reach the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 against Spain. They lose 1-0. 3. Several Lioness footballers support Jenni Hermoso after she is sexually harassed by Luis Rubiales. 4. It is rumoured that Sarina Wiegman (manager of the England Women’s team, former manager for the Netherlands’ team) will move to the England Men’s team as a “promotion”. When asked about this, Wigeman is uninterested in men’s football, only wanting to manage women’s football. 5. The ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ lineup is officially announced for 2023: - Layton Williams (actor, ‘Bad Education’/ ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’) - Les Dennis (comedian and TV presenter) - Angela Scanlon (presenter of ‘The One Show’) - Angela Ripon (former host of ‘Come Dancing’) - Krishnan Guru-Murphy (newsreader and journalist for Channel 4 news) - Zara McDermott (‘Love Island’ star and tv presenter) - Adam Thomas (actor, ‘Waterloo Road’) - Amanda Abbington (actor) - Annabell Croft (former tennis player and Wimbledon pundit) - Bobby Brazier (model & ‘Eastenders’ actor (son of Jade Goody)) - Eddie Kadi (comedian) - Jody Cundy (Paralympian) - Ellie Leach (actor) - Nigel Harman (actor) - Nikita Kanda (presenter on BBC Asian Network) 6. ‘Strictly’ is criticised for casting Amanda Abbington after serious transphobic comments are brought to light. 7. Sir Michael Parkinson, a legendary broadcaster, passes at age 88. 8. Various celebrities such as Simon Cowell, Stacey Solomon, Stephen Mulhern and Joel Dommett do bizarre adverts for the mobile game, ‘Royal Match’. 9. Further serious allegations of sextortion, abuse and sexual misconduct against Dan Wootton (a Showbiz journalist for Daily Mail, The Sun & GB News) are brought to light by ByLine Times. 10. The much loved discount home retailer, WILKO, announces it has gone into administration and liquidation.
"What pop culture moment did you miss in [month]?" babe i miss like 90% of them so thank you so much for these videos!!
I like staying up to date but never have the time/energy to sift through articles/news. I love these, please never stop making them!
im so glad you included the Rubiales thing bc its been a BIG thing here in Spain and SO many people dont understand how that is still SA (plus the man had been having "inappropiate behaviours" for a long time, a lot of female football players had already tried and bring this all to light)

@@missbellaizaa satellite tv program in the US that exclusively advertises products that are modeled/demonstrated by presenters live. Viewers can call numbers on the screen and order the items over the phone. Basically a TV shopping catalog which made it very popular pre Internet and you can even call in and ask questions about the product. there are other channels with the same business model. The Magic Bullet and Shamoo and I think even the Scrub Daddy were all shown on QVC before they became household names. Not everything advertised is poor quality but it has a reputation for selling useless junk for bored grandmothers with impulse issues to buy.

I had no idea that DJ Casper died. growing up my dad was a mobile DJ and would provide music at like parties and weddings and stuff and when he did kids parties I would help him out because I was often older than a lot of the kids at the parties and I could lead a lot of them in like the communal dances that get people on the dance floor and stuff and one of the most common ones that I always danced was the Cha Cha Slide. That song was huge when I was a kid and I attach it to those memories of helping my dad DJing so it is sad that DJ Casper has died.
