On Thursday night, Tucker Carlson hosted talk-radio host Mark Steyn for a discussion of slavery and the possibility of reparations for African-American ancestors of slaves. Steyn proceeded to go on a rant that ended on he and Carlson agreeing that African Americans need to "move on" from slavery. They yucked it up and Carlson threw to his next segment.

The Leaked Bond 25 Title Hints at a Return for 007's Biggest Nemesis
 
New reports appear to confirm rumors about the working title for the next James Bond movie, unofficially known as Bond 25. The film is currently in production under Shatterhand.

Charles Barkley Interrupted TNT's NBA Halftime Show With a Bizarre Rant About Jussie Smollett

Bohemian Rhapsody's Historical Inaccuracies Aren't Just Dramatic License. They Are Signs of Lazy Filmmaking.
 
One of the major issues with the Oscar-nominated film—beyond its clunky editing, those infamously unsettling fake teeth—is the script's extremely fast and loose retelling of Mercury's life story. One can expect a Hollywood film to fiddle with historical facts in an effort to tell a streamlined narrative in the span of two hours. But many critics have called into question the way Bohemian Rhapsody dramatized the real events of its story—and, in many cases throughout the film, completely made things up entirely to fit the story that Queen's Brian May and Roger Taylor (who served as "executive music producers") wanted to tell.

Apex Legends Is the Perfect Game to Steal the Fortnite Crown
 
Sick of chasing chicken dinners and Victory Royales? Try Apex Legends on for size. The game is Respawn Entertainment's breakout entry into the battle royale genre that surprised us all when it was both announced and released on the same day earlier this month. It's not only free to play, it's pretty damn fun, too. The runaway hit is already giving Fortnite and Co. a run for their money—it's currently the most-watched game on Twitch—and if you play online alongside anyone with a pulse, you've likely thought about jumping on the bandwagon yourself. You absolutely should. Read More
