‘M3gan 2.0' Review: Another Bot Walks, Talks, and Wants World Domination
Sure, 'M3gan,' the robot who looks like a homicidal Olsen sister, murdered some people in the 2023 comedy-horror film, but she had her reasons. 'I was upset!' she, or rather her disembodied operating system, cries in the sequel. She explains that she was just a kid back then, and is completely trustworthy now. Please, could someone load her software into another robo-body? Please? Pleeease?
In 'M3gan 2.0,' her wary inventor, Gemma (Allison Williams), doesn't quite believe her but also doesn't have much choice. A successor bot, Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), which unlike the previous figure looks exactly like a human, is not only a military-grade fighter but has also managed to use her seductive wiles to hack into the systems overseen by a billionaire tech lord (Jemaine Clement). Using cloud computing, Amelia can essentially control everything on the grid, from traffic lights to ATMs. In a 'Terminator 2' twist, then, the impish M3gan (acted by Amie Donald, with a voice by Jenna Davis) switches sides and joins the ranks of the good guys in an effort to stop a more technologically advanced rival. At least, that's what the movie's heroes hope: M3gan can be a bit fickle.

Taylor Swift's Little Black Dress Stole the Show at Surprise Appearance with BF Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift always brings the fashion inspo. Earlier this week, the Eras hitmaker showed up for a surprise performance in Nashville at her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce's Tight Ends & Friends concert, where she performed her 2014 hit "Shake It Off" alongside country singer Chase Rice. For the event, which took place at the Brooklyn Bowl, Swift was seen wearing a sleek $495 LBD from one of her favorite L.A. labels, EB Denim, which is currently sold out on their website. The strappy ensemble included a fitted corset top and a pleated mini skirt, which have become a regular part of her rotation over the past few years. On her feet were the $1,900 knee-high boots from Manolo Blahnik she was previously seen wearing while attending the Kansas City Chiefs' matchup against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium in December 2024. Accessorizing her ensemble with a necklace from Steven Battelle and $4,100 diamond stud earrings from Maria Tash, she also opted for Louis Vuitton's $4,000 Side Trunk PM as her bag of choice. Fans went crazy upon seeing Swift pop up in surprise fashion. "Close enough—welcome back Eras Tour!!" one commented, with another adding, "I would've gone into cardiac arrest." Then there was this bold prediction, "She's gonna go back to country. I'm calling it now." And with the NFL season soon approaching, there are sure to be many more viral appearances from the singer that get the conversation going.

"Every Guy With a Tragic Backstory" Comedy Sketch Skewers the Saddest Action Hero Cliché — GeekTyrant
We've all seen him, the stoic loner with haunted eyes, who only speaks in vague, gravel-voiced riddles about "what happened that day." He's ex-special forces, or maybe just a guy with a mysterious past, but either way, someone definitely died and now he's here to brood, punch walls, and save the world (maybe). A new comedy sketch perfectly roasts this tired movie trope, piling on every tragic backstory imaginable… Dead wife? Check. Lost child? Of course. A dark secret involving the President? Weirdly, yes. The sketch hilariously leans into the melodrama, reminding us how absurdly common it is for every action hero to be emotionally wrecked and justice-bound. It's a perfect reminder that sometimes, the only thing more predictable than the villain… is the hero's trauma.
