Please Welcome Will Smith… x4
Last night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Will Smith was on in support of his new movie, Suicide Squad, being released on August 5th. This wasn’t a normal appearance though for Will Smith, not only was he introduced normally by Jimmy once, but he was introduced another 3 times in spectacular fashion. He was first introduced completely normal and then he was introduced again, and again, and finally one last time with it being the most epic entrance onto a talk show we have ever seen! Take a look for yourself down below and let us know what you think!
And We Thought Thunderstorms Were Scary
To be honest, thunderstorms in the Chicagoland area can get scary at times. Just seeing them roll in from the east with those dark ominous clouds can get anyone shaking in their boots. Unfortunately, I think that we may have found something that is just a tad scarier then a thunderstorm. Not only does it involve thunder and lightning, but it also has molten rock and ash along with the possibility of an earthquake before or after. Yes, I am talking about a volcano erupting and not only did it erupt, but it produced its own lightening at the same exact time! There was a video taken in Japan of the Sakurajima volcano in slow motion and not only can you see the exact moment it erupts, but also how it produces its own lightning! I think we should all be very thankful all we have to deal with here in the Chicagoland area that involves lightning are thunderstorms. You can check out the video below!

What’s streaming on Netflix: August 2016
(from redeyechicago.com)
Do you you need something to binge? Because the 17th season of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” is coming to Netflix in August and that could probably occupy you for the rest of your life. The streaming service is also giving us “Zack and Miri Make a Porno,” a Louis C.K. comedy show and “The Wedding Planner,” the best J. Lo movie ever. So maybe just make plans not to make plans this August.

This will test your gag reflexes
Mila Kunis and Christina Applegate were challenged by James Corden to ‘Spill their guts or Fill Their Guts’. Mila ended up having to eat a cow’s tongue (bucket, please). What’s the grossest thing you’ve eaten? -wALTLocal H
Ryan Harding, drummer for Local H, posted this video for the first recording of The Misanthrope made by Hayden Scott, drummer for Filter, using his compiled footage from their tour together in 2014.
I love this band, I love this song and this footage is awesome since Chicago didn’t get a Local H, Helmet, Filter tour date that year.
But we did get Local H at PIQNIQ…
And some shakey footage of The One With Kid shot by James Gwynn at PIQNIQ:
The boys are on break from tour at the moment… will we get another Scott Lucas Lollapalooza drop by?

Double Dare at Comic-Con
Double Dare returned for one day only at Comic-Con last week and it looked as awesome as ever! Nerdist had someone actually take part in the game. Here’s some video of the experience.
CNET has more on what went down HERE.
Daniel Stern’s Still Not a Fan of Spiders
In case you need more proof that the 90’s are returning; Daniel Stern (Marv from Home Alone) is still screaming about spiders. Looks like he caugt a BIG on in his garage.
Not bad. But, as far as screams go, this one is pretty high on the list…
STRANGER THINGS CREATORS TALKS FUTURE SEASONS FOR THE SHOW
(from nerdist.com)
The highlight of summer 2016 hasn’t been any blockbuster movie, at least so far. Nope, it’s the pleasant surprise that is the new Netflix series Stranger Things, which dropped its eight-episode first season on July 15. The horror/mystery series and Amblin throwback, which stars Winona Ryder and Matthew Modine, and is set in 1983, is the story of what happens in a small Indiana town when a little boy suddenly goes missing. This mystery eventually leads into an even larger, far more bizarre one. (MORE HERE)
I loved this series so much. Very great. Everything 80’s and so much more. If you haven’t watched it yet you must!! Trailer below. – marconi
