The New Corvette Has Been Unveiled and It's Ready to Take On Ferrari
 
In a Hangar in Tustin, California in Ocean County on Thursday, Chevrolet finally fully unveiled the mythical mid-engine Ferrari beater, the 2020 Corvette Stingray. In a nutshell: it's the quickest, most powerful entry-level Corvette ever. Here's everything you need to know. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Eric Andre On the Penis Prank That Almost Got Him Shot and the Return of His Beloved Show
 
Eric Andre used to be a jazz musician. This may come as a surprise, but the deranged, at times fully demonic comedian behind The Eric Andre Show–who appears as one of the hyenas in the new Lion King this weekend–actually started off studying upright bass at Berklee College of Music. With an education like that, he told me, "You can't do anything. You start playing weddings after you graduate...you're just like, be deep ba deep ba dop..." trailing off into a scat solo that probably gave the folks over at our transcription service a real headache.

Top Gun: Maverick Once Again Has Tom Cruise Risking Life and Limb For Our Entertainment
 
The Top Gun: Maverick trailer is really kind of refreshing, right? When you see a fighter plane in an action movie these days, it's likely being summoned via gauntlet by a Marvel villain to smash into a superhero of some sort. Sometimes it's nice to watch a dude with great hair pull a couple Gs and scream: "Woo!" That said, a lot has changed since the original Top Gun debuted in 1986. Here's what you can expect for Maverick's return to the skies. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
Last Chance U Season Four Is a Gripping Examination Of What It Really Means to Lose
 
Netflix's Last Chance U, which returns for its fourth season on Netflix Friday, has always, to its benefit, prodded at questions bigger than sports: like whether or not we can fundamentally change who we are. But during episode six—the more-than-aptly-titled "Sh t Show"—infamous Coach Jason Brown and the Independence Pirates are losing another game, and he's in the middle of one of his signature tirades, ranting about why he's going to boycott the entire state of Iowa. Of course, I'm fully in at this point—it's objectively great TV, maybe Last Chance U's best season yet. Then it hit me, what Last Chance U has been prodding at since Season One: Would we rather watch winners, or losers? Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Moon Landing Conspiracy Theorists Raise These Questions. Here's Why They're Nonsense.
 
The moon actually is made of cheese. Really. Really! Not the stuff from which you saw off a wedge to spice up a cracker. Cheese. The bloomy-rinded pablum that people seem to mean, but can't possibly be taken seriously. The fifty years since we sent three men there—and put two on its surface!—have seen giant leaps for mankind, and moon shots for conspiracy theorists. Once the credo of dingy basements and underground newsletters, conspiracy theories are everywhere. The moon hoax alone has emerged on The View, in the NBA, and, to its detriment, in the general vicinity of Buzz Aldrin's fists. If America is at risk of becoming the theocracy long-feared, the state religion is conspiracy. Read More
 
   
 
 
 
 
The Hyenas in The Lion King Just Wanted Food. So Why Are They the Bad Guys?
 
The hyenas in the original Lion King were decidedly among the bad guys, but they had some unusual motivations: they aligned with archvillain Scar in hopes of landing a good meal. "We'll have food, lots of food," they sang eagerly, "We repeat, endless meat." It's hard to find Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed (voiced by Whoopi Goldberg, Cheech Marin, and Jim Cummings in the 1994 film) entirely sympathetic, as one of their suppers of choice consisted of adorable cubs Simba and Nala. But even for that, how could we blame them? Every carnivore in the Pride Lands presumably subsisted on a diet of lovable animals with Hollywood-familiar voices. Read More
