Please correct me if I’m wrong since I don’t really follow basketball, but LeBron James joining the Philadelphia 76ers is like Zava joining AFC Richmond on #TedLasso, yes?
As Chance University grows in #PRODUCEwrestling, Andre Chance shares what makes his curriculum stand out from other well-known teachers in pro wrestling. Will the #ChanceU crew find success like Thea Hail & Duke Hanson after #PRODUCE2? #ChaseU #AndreChase
A screening of “Predator” to cap off Reel Rumble at the Mahoning Drive In.

I’m at episode 5 of my X-Men ‘97 rewatch and I’m like 😭😭😭. Happy Monday!
I started rewatching “The Bear” ahead of the season 5 premiere and now I miss my Chicago pals.
Just found out that there’s a Squirrel Girl card in Magic: The Gathering. Is this what finally gets me to play Commander?
Trying to figure out what to watch this weekend as AAPI Heritage Month 2026 winds down? No matter what you decide on, #DeliBoys stars Asif Ali & Saagar Shaikh have a message for you about your favorite shows and movies. #DeliBoysHulu #AAPIHeritageMonth #AANHPI #AAPI #PAAFF
Just finished #DeliBoys season 2. Hulu, please please PLEASE green light season 3. The world needs it.
Asif Ali & Saagar Shaikh of #DeliBoys were honored by #PAAFF w/ an AANHPI Storyteller Icon Award. During their speech, they remembered how many times I watched the 1st season & kindly recognized me with all the fans of the show. #AAPIHeritageMonth #AANHPI #DeliBoysHulu
As these special presentations are meant to be, #PunisherOneLastKill presents a tight one-shot comic that stands alone nicely to give True Believers a micro-dose of MCU. This may not be his last kill, but it’s enough to hold us over until Punisher’s next one.
Jon Bernthal is still top notch as #ThePunisher. Really firing on all cylinders as he tackles a John Wick-ian endeavor. But Judith Light strolled into the MCU and reminded everyone who’s the boss. She delivered a powerful performance in a short amount of screen time.
The latest #Marvel Special Presentation also reminds everyone that it’s ok to seek help if you need it. Even Frank Castle knows how important it is to take care of your mental health.
#PunisherOneLastKill is an issue zero meant to reintroduce the character in case anyone forgot. It’s excessively violent, hauntingly alluring, and (much like the antihero himself) has heart.
Today is the first time since set 3 that I’m not at a card shop picking up the latest set of Lorcana on pre-release day. Hopefully as things settle down I can get back to playing regularly. Until then, I hope my fellow Illumineers get some great pulls today!
May the 4th be with you! Throwback to my first visit to Batuu East last year. #StarWars #MayThe4th #StarWarsGalaxysEdge #DisneyParks #WaltDisneyWorld
I had a great time at Game Changer Wrestling’s debut at the ECW Arena. What a wild card of matches! Interviews coming soon 🎙️📺📱 #GCW #GCWArena #ECW #ECWArena #wrestling
Somehow, I only watched one new-to-me movie in the month of April. But I really liked it! Historically, wrestling is the reason why my movie count is always very low this time of the year. But this year I also ended up watching “Bojack Horseman.” So, you know, I was busy.
Now, due to careless people and unnecessary drama, this weekend is the final time pro wrestling will emanate from the Berwyn Eagles Club. But like many venues that have come & gone, the memories will endure.
I discovered many of my current faves for the first time at this legendary venue. I got to witness respected veterans, indie darlings, future superstars, and viral sensations put on bangers. Every time I stepped through those doors, it was magical treasure trove of wrestling.
I was also fortunate enough to see some incredible wrestling in Berwyn thanks to promotions like RISE, SHIMMER, @freelancewrestling.bsky.social, & @aawpro.bsky.social.
This interaction was the genesis of a beautiful friendship and support system that endures to this day. Without Erin and Stella, I never would have met Bobby, @warwicksj.bsky.social, @davidwmkelch.bsky.social, & @theonlyhelena.bsky.social. I can’t imagine life without this Wrestlegang.
Shortly after moving to Chicago in 2017, my friend suggested that I check out #NotYourDemoPod. Through the podcast, I learned about women’s wrestling promotion RISE running outside of Chicago. I met NYD hosts @stellacheeks.bsky.social & @erngenc.bsky.social at a show and bought a round of drinks.
Fresh off of giving his first tour at the #PunkRockMuseum last year, I had a great chat with Jaret Reddick of #BowlingForSoup. But since it was #Wrestlemania week, I had to ask about #AlexaBliss, who happens to be a huge BFS fan! Plus, the band wrote a song about her!
Before winning the PROGRESS Proteus Championship during #Wrestlemania Week 2025, I spoke with the incredible Paul Walter Hauser at WrestleCon. While discussing his role in the upcoming #ChrisFarley biopic, he dropped his illuminating outlook on pursuing your passions.
Out of all the beloved sitcoms of the 2000s, I didn’t think we’d really need to revisit this one. But after watching “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Unfair,” I’m so glad it exists. Be sure to watch on Hulu starting April 10th!
The original #MalcolmInTheMiddle was about the pure chaos of growing up. The 4-part revival reminds us that, even though family can drive us crazy, love is at the core of all of it. “Life’s Still Unfair” is an absolute joy. The finale had me like 🥲. Definitely recommend!
Who actually cares about Mayweather vs Pacquiao at this point? I want to see THIS match in the TOC Arena or Kitchen Stadium.
