May 11, 2019 | Kevin

According to Consequence of Sound, Netflix has secured the rights to release a long-in-the-works animated feature film from 90’s Nickelodeon classic series ‘Rocko’s Modern Life’. The wacky show gained a lasting following, so it was exciting when the film was announced in 2017 but now it appears the anticipated film will be available for streaming in the future. The film called Static Cling will focus on Rocko and the gang returning to Earth after being left in outer space since 1996. Man, the internet is really going scare Heffer right?

This teaser shown at San Diego Comic Con featured Rocko and friends dealing with all the modern changes to even more modern life including how quickly cell phones get updated, guzzling down ‘Buzzbucks’ conffee, and where the heck did the comic book shop go?!

And for you early 2000’s kids, you are mixture of dark humor and kid TV glee will also be fan-served with an Invader Zim feature film also coming to Netflix. This is not fresh news but while we are on the topic of Nick shows getting the reboot, it felt like we needed to let you the invasion is coming in ‘Invader Zim; Enter the Florpus’. The follower teaser was first released last year at San Diego Comic Con.

Hear Panic! At Disco’s “High Hopes” done as a Frank Sinatra tune

May 9, 2019 | Kevin

Prepare to swoon with your grandma. The modern music cover collective Post-Modern Jukebox adding the dashing crooning style of Frank Sinatra to the soaring anthem ‘High Hopes’ from Panic! At The Disco. It’s a quite charming take on the song with a mostly acoustic backing,a violin solo, and something that you will have dancing with someone in the nearest kitchen.

Check out exclusive Lounge session with Panic! At The Disco here below.

 

 

Weezer’s ‘Say It Aint So’ but every word is ‘Wrestle with Jimmy’ (Stream it here)

May 9, 2019 | Kevin

 

Sometimes with songs you love, you don’t remember all the lyrics. Maybe you just remember specific lines of the song. Well some smart ass on Youtube took that desire to love a specific lyric in a song to a whole new demented level when he ‘remixed’ Weezer‘s classic gem ‘Say it Ain’t So’ so all the vocals are just the line ‘Wrestle with Jimmy’. It’s pretty ridiculous and quite funny to hear especially with the wrenched in auto tune.

Check out everything fun from Weezer here including their TLC cover from Coachella and much more.

Full movie of ‘Detective Pikachu’ gets “leaked”

May 9, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

It seems a Twitter account called @InspectrPikachu leaked the full Pokemon movie ‘Detective Pikachu’.

The movies release date is May 10th but this was tweeted out May 7th.

The video opens up like any Warner Bros. movie would with the title card, but soon after turns into an hour and 42-minute video of Pikachu dancing.

Guys we’ve been trolled.

What’s interesting too is how Ryan Reynolds tweeted out the video to his followers, which makes you wonder if he’s behind the ‘leak’. Plus the account only had one tweet, the video, and nothing else.

What this all just a marketing scheme? Probably. The official movie twitter only responded with ‘oops’

You know darn well they would have done more than that. It’s safe to say we were trolled.

But Friday, May 10th is when it REALLY will be released, till then, enjoy the dancing.

Don’t mess with an octopus

May 9, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

A woman from China tried to live stream herself eating a live octopus. Instead, she just ended up screaming and crying as the octopus sucked onto her face.

Can you really feel sorry for her when the octopus was just trying to protect itself?
This is why you don’t eat food that’s alive, especially if they are that big.

Hey MOM’S! Kraft Will Reimburse You If You Hire a Babysitter on Mother’s Day

May 8, 2019 | Tim Virgin

This might be the best thing Kraft has done for parents since they invented Easy Mac.

Kraft just announced that they’re going to pay for your babysitter on Mother’s Day, so you can get some time to relax.

They’ll reimburse you up to $100 if you submit your receipt for the babysitter you hire on Sunday at KraftMothersDayAway.com.

There’s a catch, though:  They’re only reimbursing a total of $50,000, which is only 500 moms’ worth of $100 babysitting, so send in your receipt QUICK.

(Brand Eating)

 

(You can read the full terms and conditions here.  It looks like you’re also giving them permission to use your name and submission in commercials or however else they want to use them.)

Tonight’s Cubs game against the Marlins has been pushed to an earlier start time of 6:35 p.m. The game was supposed to begin at 7:05, but the Cubs decided to get going sooner due to an expected wave of more crappy Chicago weather.

Gates are still set to open at 5:05.

Go Cubs.

NEW MUSIC ALERT: Stream Blink-182 ‘Blame It On My Youth’

May 8, 2019 | Kevin

Today Blink-182 dropped the new song ‘Blame It On My Youth’ from their upcoming album. This follows the band announcing a tour with rap giant Lil’ Wayne and upstarts Neck Deep. Oh and don’t worry Chicago, we will see them in September at RIOT FEST!

The lyrics have a lot of darker vibes recalling mistakes made in the past and their lasting impact on you as you grow past them. Matt Skiba has pretty griping lyric in this saying “”I was left on a doorstep/ I was scared to death with nowhere we go/ Cut myself on the neighbor’s fence/ That I hopped as the cops tried to take me in.”

The more I hear Skiba in Blink the more I dig it.
