This past weekend, Ryan Gosling hosted a spectacular episode of "Saturday Night Live." There wasn't a single bad sketch among the bunch that debuted on the staple late-night comedy series, but there was one clear standout that had pretty much everyone involved breaking.
During a News Nation panel about artificial intelligence featuring Kenan Thompson as an expert on the subject being interviewed by Heidi Gardner, a distraction emerges in the audience in the form of two young men who happen to look uncannily like live-action versions of the animated characters Beavis and Butt-Head, from Mike Judge's comedy series of the same name. If you need a refresher or you missed the sketch over the weekend, take a look below:
Gosling appeared as Beavis, complete with an elongated, prosthetic nose and a big blonde pompadour haircut. After he's moved to avoid any more distraction, he's replaced with Mikey Day as Butt-Head,...

At the beginning of its third season, "Star Trek: Discovery" went through something of a soft reboot, with fans often debating about what worked and what did not. Thanks to a complex season-two story about a malevolent machine intelligence, the U.S.S. Discovery was forced through a portal in time, depositing it in the year 3188, about 900 from their starting point. The crew of the Discovery found the future to be bitter and broken. It seems a galaxy-wide cataclysm — nicknamed The Burn — destroyed every active starship a few centuries earlier. The last remaining scraps of the Federation went into hiding while a vicious crime syndicate, the Emerald Chain, rose to power in its absence. The Discovery, equipped with now-ancient technology, had to fight the Emerald Chain, locate the Federation, and attempt to help a galaxy they didn't understand.

Welcome to this double-sized review of All Elite Wrestling Dark, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and we have longer matches and longer shows, so this ought to be much better than the past few weeks.
February 4th 2020 Match #1: Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy & Marko Stunt) defeated Sonny Kiss & Brandon Cutler
My Opinion: 3.3 out of 5 – This was a fun burst of action that had as many colors woven into it as a bowl of Fruit Loops at the Gay Pride Parade. Everybody worked well together and kept the pace up near where it always needed to be. This wasn’t long enough for my taste, but it was good enough for that same taste.
Match #2: Hikaru Shida defeated Mel
My Opinion: 1.6 out of 5 – You can just skip this s—. The wrestling didn’t get very far in quality and made me doubt what I’d do for a Klondike bar.

Netflix's Wu Assassins is basically The Jackie Chan Adventures with f-bombs and trap music. And we're okay with that.

Note: the following review for Netflix's original series Wu Assassins contains no spoilers.
Here’s a list of things that Netflix’s original martial arts series Wu Assassins reminds me of, in no particular order:
- Eating Panda Express at a Chipotle.
- Wandering through the Action section at a Hollywood Video in 2003 and not renting anything.
- That weird sequel to Warriors of Virtue that no one's seen or even heard of.
- Having a drunken conversation about The Jackie Chan Adventures in a strip club at 1 Am.
- A Big Trouble in Little China fan film produced by Tommy Wiseau.
- A dark and gritty fanfic where Avatar: The Last Airbender crosses over with the Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog.
- Rolling on ecstasy at a P.

Filmed in 2015, The Warrior’s Gate sees Jack (Shelton), a bullied teenager mistaken for the video game hero he plays in his favourite game, magically transported to China, on a mission to save Su Lin, the princess he had been tasked with protecting. He teams with warrior Zhoo (Chao) and a flaky wizard (Ng) to stop the evil Arun (Bautista) from marrying the princess and get back home. ALong the way he learns bravery, inner strength and, of course, kung-fu!
The first in a three-picture deal between Luc Besson’s EuropaCorp and China’s Fundamental Films, The Warrior’s Gate is a French/Chinese co-production, written by long-time Besson collaborator Robert Mark Kamen (The Karate Kid, Lethal Weapon 3, The Transporter), helmed...

Summer movie season is a magic time of year when Hollywood traditionally rolls out its most appealing merchandise. It’s true that some summer movie seasons are better than others. This is our ranking of all the summer movie seasons since 1980 from worst to best.
On January 20th, 1975, Steven Spielberg and Universal Studios released Jaws. The movie landscape would be forever changed from that date. Jaws is widely credited as being the first blockbuster film because it was the first movie to make over $100 million (non-adjusted). The fact that the film had a meager $8 million budget meant that it was a huge cash cow for the studio and rocketed Spielberg to the the forefront of a new generation of filmmakers for a new era of movie mass-consumption. George Lucas and Spielberg followed up in 1977 with Star Wars, which became a sensational and very profitable hit. It helped to convince production...

The Weinstein Company is developing a sequel to the classically awesome Ang Lee directed martial arts film Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon! The film production will start shooting in this coming May in Asia. The script for the film was written by John Fusco (Young Guns, Hidalgo, The Forbidden Kingdom), and the studio is looking at hiring Chinese director Ronny Yu (Warriors of Virtue, Bride of Chucky, Freddy Vs. Jason, Fearless) to develop the project, so Ang Lee won't be back to continue the franchise.
The movie is based on the same material for the Academy Award winning film. According to Deadline, it's based on Silver Vase, Iron Knight, which is the fifth book in the Crane-Iron Pentalogy by Wang Du Lu. Crouching Tiger was based on the fourth book in the series. Fusco had this to say in a statement,
This was an opportunity to explore a lifelong passion I’ve had for Wu Sia,...

What sort of motion picture does director Ronny Yu decide to pursue after delivering his action classic “The Bride with the White Hair”? One centered around a band of deadly kung fu kangaroos, of course! “Warriors of Virtue” took quite the critical lashing when it arrived in theaters way back in 1997, and it’s easy to understand why. The film, a Chinese-American actioner that suffers from some seriously wonky acting, is one seriously jagged pill to swallow if you don’t have the stomach for cheesy family-oriented cinema. The story follows the adventures of a Ryan, a wimpy high school student whose physical disability prevents him from joining the football team. Like most cinematic athletes with access to crippled kids, the guys on the squad are quick to give him crap, going as far as to trick the poor kid into a particularly hazardous hazing ritual that sends him spiraling into another dimension.

Landing on our radar for the first time is The Wicked from director Peter Winther. Darclight Films is presently in post-production on this fairy tale turned horror story written by Michael Vickerman ( Warriors of Virtue ). Devon Werkheirser, Justin Deely, Jess Adams, Caitlin Carmichael, Diana Hopper, Jackelyn Gauci, Chase Maser and Robert Young star. Here's the plot crunch: When a girl goes missing in a town with a history of mysterious disappearances, local teenagers recall an old legend about a witch (pic on the left not the actual witch) who lives in a house in the woods and devours the flesh of children the young for youth, the strong for power, and the pretty for beauty. On a dare the teens venture to the house to lay to rest the nightmarish tales of their...

Here is what I want you to do:
I want you to step away from a glowing screen for a moment. Intimidating, I know, but there’s more. I want you to find something that is anywhere in the geographical region between Goblin’s Roller, Kraftwerk’s Autobahn, Earth 2 and Carpenter’s score for Halloween III: Season of the Witch. I want you to clear a space on the floor and sit in it, get as comfortable as you can, because this could take a while. This is not about achieving zen – please, this is a game review – in fact clearing your mind is the opposite of what you want to do. No, I want all the stuff cluttered about in that noggin of yours remaining, but I want you to re-arrange it. I want your depository of tales, facts, quotes, sounds and colours to sort of create its own stream with the music,...
