Chicago Sky star Angel Reese will make her Team USA debut alongside fellow WNBA standouts Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers tonight, March 11, 2026. After wrapping up season 2 of Unrivaled, Reese and many other WNBA players packed their bags and headed to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for the FIBA World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Angel Reese is one of six athletes making their national team debut, which has sent a wave of excitement through basketball fans online, many of whom are eager to see the LSU alum shine on the main stage.

Angel Reese Is Gearing Up To Make Her National Team Debut Alongside WNBA Stars, Including Caitlin Clark

While the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup in Berlin, Germany, is in September, Reese and several others will lace up their sneakers for the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers from March 11 to 17. The team, according to USA Basketball, will feature a mix of notable players, including veterans Jackie Young and Chelsea Gray, and sensational young players, including Clark, Bueckers, and, of course, Reese.

Reese, known for her elite rebounding skills, will surely bring an edge to the national team on the hardwood. While speaking with the media during USA basketball practice, Reese opened up about how much the opportunity means to her, calling it an “honor.”

“… being able to know this is a lifelong dream for me,” she said, according to Swish Appeal.

Angel Reese Has Dreams Of Playing For Team USA In The Olympics In 2028

While Reese and the rest of Team USA have a while to go before being named to the Olympic roster for the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, California, making that team is another goal Reese hopes to accomplish.

“Just steps to 2028,” Reese said about her upcoming FIBA appearance. “I mean, that’s a big goal for me. So just continuing to take these small steps and continue to learn and grow.”

Reese then spoke about playing for coaches like Kara Lawson, Nate Tibbetts, and Sue Bird, calling their approach to player development “amazing” before expressing her desire to continue to grow those relationships.

Angel Reese Isn’t Worried About The Noise… She’s Focused On Doing What She Can For Team USA

Securing her position on the national team was no easy feat for Reese. Over the years, the women’s national team has been stacked with standout players, including Lisa Leslie, Dawn Staley, and 4-time league MVP A’ja Wilson.

A roster like that is hard to live up to, but Reese said in a recent interview that she isn’t trying to model her game after any one player and is instead focused on contributing to the team as a whole.

“Everybody’s not going to be able to score 20. So just being able to come in here and find my niche of what I can do specifically that I can impart ways for everyone else that I know that I can always bring to the table is going to be a big part of my life,” she said.

Reese Said She And The Younger Team USA Players Are Continuing To Learn From The Veterans

That doesn’t mean Reese isn’t learning from the veterans. According to the Indy Star, she is relying on as many experienced Team USA players as possible.

“There are a lot of new faces here, but we can rely a lot on our vets,” she said, “because they have been in the moment and they have this experience.”

Reese went on to share that while she’s “looking forward” to her big debut, she can’t wait for the roles to be reversed so she can be a “good example” to other players.

Social Media Users Are Beyond Excited To See Reese Make Her Team USA Debut

USA Basketball has shared behind-the-scenes photos of Reese and other Team USA players preparing for the start of the FIBA tournament.

In one video montage, viewers could see Reese posing for her official Team USA headshots, while another introduced the LSU alum to the world as No. 9.

The social media posts caused much excitement online, with one user calling Reese the “greatest rebounder in WNBA history.” At the same time, another said Reese was in elite company, sharing a Team USA number with greats like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Leslie.

Other users also got in on the fun, with one sharing “USA BARBBBBB” and another posting “Overly tea.”

Dear Drew,
I just walked away from a 10-year relationship. How do I dip my toe into the dating pool?

As someone who’s been single for a very long time myself, I hope I can just keep it real with you. Give it time. Enjoy your freedom. Enjoy your friends. Have alone time. Figure out who you are before becoming part of another couple. That said, if you feel inspired to go on some dates, do it. There’s more accessibility to dating than ever, but please get to know who you are before taking on someone else and losing yourself in a relationship.

Do you have any tips for flirting?

Isn’t it funny?

Flirting, of course! Flirting may feel like a risk, but when you turn on your magnetic personality and pull someone out of their shell, it’s so much fun! Be bold and keep it playful.

Dear Drew,
What’s the base of a good friendship?

This is a question I find very important, and the answer for me is honesty. Most of my friends give me a lot of tough love. We’ve known each other for 20 or 30 years, and they want me to be my best and point out whenever I’m not. Not only does this mean they care, but I am honored they take the time. I know not to take it as criticism. I just appreciate how much trust it shows. I also love that my friends and I can lie on the couch in sweatpants and eat takeout and be utterly relaxed. I like traveling with my friends. I like remembering that we are all individuals. I like to surround myself with people I can be completely myself with. I know they have my back. I love to make them proud. And if anyone ever messes with one of my friends, watch out, because I am as loyal as it gets. The most powerful thing about friendship is that it’s an opportunity to stop worrying about what isn’t there and create everything that you want. We’re not always born into a stable family dynamic, but friends can become your family. I live, work, laugh and play with my friends, and they are a constant source of self-improvement. What more can anybody ask for?

Dear Drew,
Are long-distance relationships worth it?

Ooooh, I love this question! First, it depends on where you are in life. If you’re looking to settle down and start a family, a long-distance relationship is far trickier. It’s not that it can’t be done, but it would take tremendous planning and being on the same page in order to make it work. If you leave it up to chance, I guarantee heartbreak and resentments. There are multiple scenarios that prove it can work. Take military families, in which one parent is called to work abroad. Many of those families make it work, but it takes clear communication. If done right, a long-distance relationship can be really beautiful. Each individual gets to have their own journey in life, but eventually everybody wants to come home.

Animated fish films have been done. Finding Nemo. Shark Tale. Ponyo. So to hear about another doesn’t feel like anything new. However, The Pout-Pout Fish, starring Nick Offerman as a grumpy ocean pout named Mr. Fish, is a little different. It’s an adaptation of Deborah Diesen‘s series of children’s books, which have grown so popular over the past two decades that it has even turned into a musical. Co-directed by Ricard Cussó and Rio Harrington, from a script by Elise Allen and Elie Choufany, The Pout-Pout Fish is a cute, wholesome little movie aimed at kids. It’s straightforward to a fault, and could really use songs from the musical to liven it up. Adults might find themselves getting bored, but your kids will see it through more imaginative eyes. For little ones, it’s a sweet story with fun lessons to learn.

What Is ‘The Pout-Pout’ Fish About?

The Pout-Pout Fish is a joint production between the United States’ Viva Pictures and Australia’s Maslow Entertainment, which means a voice cast made of both Americans and Aussies. Nick Offerman is perfectly cast as the grumpy ocean pout simply known as Mr. Fish. He can’t help it that he looks this way. Ocean pouts have a naturally downturned mouth, which makes them look miserable. It’s not a fun life for Mr. Fish, a lonely guy who is constantly being told by the other fish in the reef to smile and cheer up.

This ‘Parks and Rec’ Episode Showed Us a Completely Different Side of Ron Swanson for the First Time

A red shirt Ron is a happy Ron.

Everything changes for Mr. Fish when he meets a new neighbor in the form of Pip (Nina Oyama), a happy, high-energy leafy seadragon child. She’s the exact opposite of the moody Mr. Fish, but after he accidentally destroys her home, the two go on a road trip, so to speak, to locate the mysterious Shimmer (Jordin Sparks), a mythical fish that can supposedly grant wishes. If they can find her, Shimmer can put Pip’s home back together again before her parents get back with her 400 new siblings. It won’t be easy, though, as along the way, they encounter numerous obstacles in the form of other sea life. There’s also another fish who wants to reach Shimmer before them. Benji (Remy Hii), an orange cuttlefish, must save his own family’s home. Who will make it to Shimmer and get their wish granted first?

Nick Offerman and Nina Oyama Carry ‘The Pout-Pout Fish’

The Pout-Pout Fish succeeds and fails in its all too familiar trope of the grumpy lead character forced together with the happy, gregarious one. The audience knows this will lead to a change for the former, and by the end of the movie, Mr. Fish is not going to be so pouty. What matters is how the film gets there. Kids’ movies can go in one of two directions. There’s the best of Pixar, Disney, and DreamWorks, with lots of comedy and smart writing aimed at adults as well. Think of Inside Out, for example. That film and its sequel are thick with themes and learning about life aimed at children. It does that, while also providing well-crafted characters and plenty of laughs. Then there’s the more simplistic route. This is The Pout-Pout Fish. There is a little bit of backstory to Mr. Fish, pretty much nothing about Pip, and even less for most of the other sea life they meet along the way. The jokes are simple and flat (one fish has to stop because a school of fish is swimming over a crosswalk), and while your kids might chuckle at times, The Pout-Pout Fish is pretty laugh-free for anyone who can legally drive.

It’s a bare-bones film, yet it’s not a dud because of its voice cast. Offerman is made for voice work. He’s done that many times over the year for The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans, Sing 2, and Smurfs. Casting him as the lead pouty fish here is a great move. This is what makes it so frustrating that his talents aren’t used to their full potential. Mr. Fish is a little grumpy. That’s it. He’s never loud, over-the-top, or silly, and Offerman’s dry wit isn’t given any great lines. Anyone could have voiced him. Still, because it’s Offerman’s unique manner of speaking, we’re pulled in, and Mr. Fish immediately becomes more real.

Australian actress Nina Oyama is tasked with carrying much of the emotional weight of The Pout-Pout Fish. She’s in her 30s, but is convincing as a hyper kid. It’s disappointing that her excitement is the entirety of her character, but Oyama gives it her all. Paired with Offerman, the relationship between Mr. Fish and Pip is the selling point. The pair have great chemistry in a plot that’s overly cute and aims only for the basics.

The Themes of ‘The Pout-Pout Fish’ Are Too Spot On

The Pout-Pout Fish could have benefitted from a different style of animation. After watching animated films like The Wild Robot, the uninspired artwork here adds very little. What could have propped up a thin story is instead one more aspect that makes The Pout-Pout Fish come across as mediocre. Shots of the reef, the abundance of kelp that threatens them, and the shipwrecks a few live in are flat. The Pout-Pout Fish isn’t a book come to life. It’s nothing more than moving pages in a generic format.

There are plenty of other supporting characters to keep the action going. Benji is desperate to prove himself to his mother, Marin (Miranda Otto), the intimidating cuttlefish leader who needs to find a new home for her species so badly that she’s willing to wreck the reef the other fish live in. On Mr. Fish and Pip’s journey, they come across various other characters, such as Amy Sedaris as a group of, like, valley girl, like, pink dolphins. While some of these characters are only meant to be part of one scene, The Pout-Pout Fish spends too much time with Benji and his journey, when Mr. Fish and Pip are where the best part of the story is.

The Pout-Pout Fish is about Mr. Fish’s adventures, most of all, as he learns not to be so grumpy and let other fish in. The film gets there by having Mr. Fish spout those life lessons as he learns them, as if he’s reading inspiring quotes from the source material rather than coming across like an authentically growing character. It’s the books, now on the screen, delivering its cute message, but in a way that lays it on way too thick. The Pout-Pout Fish is not bad by any means, but don’t go in expecting a new animated classic. Little kids will probably enjoy it for the innocent, lesson-filled, mild fun it is, especially if they’ve been introduced to what inspired it first. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s what The Pout-Pout Fish aims for, and it achieves the goal.

The Pout-Pout Fish comes to theaters on March 13.

At first glance, it might seem like Taylor Sheridan has an unblemished track record, but look closer, and you’ll find a failed franchise-starter that was headlined by someone who might win an Oscar in a few days. The movie in question marked Sheridan’s second collaboration with director Stefano Sollima, after the very divisive Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Sheridan has expressed reservations about that movie, admitting that he perhaps isn’t cut out for franchise filmmaking. This isn’t strictly true, considering how expansive his Yellowstone universe on Paramount+ has become. He was also on board to kick-start a new franchise with Sollima for Prime Video, with Michael B. Jordan attached as star and producer.

The movie debuted in 2021 to mixed reviews, having been offloaded by Paramount due to pandemic-related strains. The studio also sold the distribution rights to the sci-fi action film The Tomorrow War, starring Chris Pratt, and the comedy sequel Coming 2 America, starring Eddie Murphy. Both movies did well on Prime Video, but Sheridan and Sollima’s film hasn’t exactly stood the test of time. It rarely shows up on viewership charts. Prime Video probably hoped that the Sheridan movie would pair well with its other dad-oriented programming, such as Jack Ryan, Bosch, and the then-unreleased Reacher. However, audiences finally seem to be checking it out, albeit on a different platform altogether.

Here’s the Failed Franchise-Starter Co-Written by Taylor Sheridan

The movie in question, of course, is Without Remorse. Also based on books by Jack Ryan creator Tom Clancy, the movie now holds a 45% critics’ score and a 41% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The website’s consensus reads, “Despite a commanding performance from Michael B. Jordan, Without Remorse fails to escape its outdated patriotic tropes and forced franchise place settings.” Without Remorse featured Jordan as John Kelly, a character who appears in the Jack Ryan novels, and has previously been played by Willem Dafoe and Liev Schreiber in the movies Clear and Present Danger and The Sum of All Fears. Jordan is now up for an Oscar for his dual performances in Ryan Coogler‘s Sinners, while Sheridan is working on 1944, a new spin-off of Yellowstone. Today Without Remorse is currently among the most-watched movies on the domestic Tubi charts. You can watch the action-thriller on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Even the most optimistic pundits are now willing to admit that the quality of entertainment produced by Hollywood has declined. Many reasons have been put forward for this flagging level of competence, but there’s only one solution: exclusionary gatekeeping.

For more than a decade, the entertainment industry has run entirely on inclusivity. Hiring both in front of and behind the camera has been done with a representation-first mindset, which means everyone must be allowed in to whatever you’re doing, whether they’re a qualified fit for your audience or not.

The Death Of Differences

The same transformation happened in entertainment journalism. When the online movie news world emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it was run almost entirely by obsessive fans. I know because I helped build it as the founder of CinemaBlend in 2000.

Sites like CinemaBlend, Ain’t It Cool News, Dark Horizons, Film Threat, The Movie Blog, and others were operated by individual owners who were deeply knowledgeable about the topics they covered. These weren’t corporate brands managed by committees. They were passion projects run by people like Vic Holtreman, Chris Gore, John Campea, Garth Franklin, Christopher Null, and Harry Knowles.

They weren’t trying to represent everyone. They were writing for their audience: hardcore male genre fans.

Over time, those independents were either iced out by algorithms that were sued into promoting mainstream media (this actually happened), or bought out by corporate conglomerates (including Cinema Blend, which I exited in 2015) who ditched the genuine, knowledgeable, gatekeeping fan owners in favor of creating something inclusive. Where those original owners had only hired other fans who shared the interests of their audience, the new owners hired opinion makers who represented everyone and everything, which in reality means they hired people who stood for nothing and no one.

This same process was happening in Hollywood itself. It’s why John Lasseter was fired for giving a hug, and Pixar hasn’t made a truly great movie since. The result in both the entertainment creation and the entertainment reporting space has been a disaster. Box office numbers are plummeting. Viewers now use positive Rotten Tomatoes scores as an indicator for which movies to avoid.

Gatekeeping Is The Answer

There’s only one solution, and that solution is gatekeeping. Gatekeeping is the act of controlling access to an idea, community, opportunity, or resource by deciding who is allowed in and who is excluded.

As part of the push towards radical inclusivity by big corporations and activists, the term gatekeeping has become a pejorative. It’s used as an emotionally charged attack against meanies. Being called a gatekeeper is the kind of thing that gets people cancelled. 

But nothing of any worth happens without some form of gatekeeping. Gatekeeping is just another way of saying quality control. Quality control isn’t mean, it’s sensible.

Without gatekeeping, we’d end up with unqualified pilots crashing planes maintained by unqualified mechanics. Without gatekeeping inspectors, the quality of the food you eat degrades, the drugs you need aren’t reliable, and nuclear reactors go into meltdown. 

Creative endeavors are no different. Without gatekeeping a new Star Trek show hires writers who know nothing about Star Trek, and then its scripts end up filled with obvious mistakes and terrible plot holes which any fan could have spotted if they’d done some gatekeeping to hire one. 

Inclusivity Is Lazy And Destructive

If you have standards and want to keep them, you must exclude people or things that do not meet them. Enforcing standards is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive.

I require my son to get As in math. To make that happen, I check his grades and help him with his homework when he struggles. If he doesn’t study and fails a test, I have to enforce consequences. 

If I remove my requirement for an A, I no longer have to do anything. My son also won’t learn math, but I’ll save a lot of time. 

Radical inclusivity is a way of removing standards, a way of deferring responsibility for maintaining quality. It’s lazy and destructive.

Exclusion Maintains Differences And Diversity

Exclusion maintains the integrity of your work, your idea, and your brand. Samurai swords are only Samurai swords as long as Claymores are excluded from being classified as Katanas. Pepsi is only Pepsi as long as you exclude lemonade from Pepsi cans. It’d be easier to fill Pepsi cans with whatever liquid is cheapest and most available, but then it wouldn’t be Pepsi anymore, and eventually people would stop buying it. 

Maintaining unique differences is hard, so homogenization disguised as inclusivity allows corporations to take an established universe like Star Trek or Star Wars and wear it like a skin suit, puppeted by inclusive hires (hiring done without relevant standards) who have no idea what they’re a part of, and because they don’t care are totally willing to treat fans like fat, juicy, pay pigs to be farmed for maximum profit. They fill Star Wars up with whatever happens to be lying around, and then play the Star Wars theme music in front of it. 

Giant Freakin Robot Is An Exclusionary Publication

Late last year, I relaunched Giant Freakin Robot with a renewed determination to avoid these pitfalls by making this the most exclusionary geek site on the internet. What does that mean? It means we will not work with writers who have bad ideas or ideas that are in direct conflict with the values and interests of our readers. That doesn’t serve them or us.

Specifically, Giant Freakin Robot’s readers are geeky men, and always have been, so that means finding commentators who have the same fundamental world view that most geeky men have. Engaging Alex Kurtzman fans to write for Giant Freakin Robot would make about as much sense as investing in Giant Freakin Robot makeup tutorials.

To serve our audience in this way requires gatekeeping. So we’re contracting with talented freelancers based on exclusion, rather than inclusion, and we’re doing it using this simple ad:

There’s only one required question in the application process, which pops up after you read the ad. That question is: Do you hate Starfleet Academy? Yes/No

We’ve received thousands of applications from writers, most of them recently laid off by struggling, inclusive corporate publications. 95% of those applicants checked No and failed this rather simple IQ test. Their applications were automatically sent to a trash bin.

Before we bring on anyone new, in addition to correctly answering that single question, they’ll have to meet the standards of quality and creativity established by our crack team of genius geek culture commentators. We’ll continue to exclude anyone who doesn’t measure up. 

If you want a world free of gatekeeping, go to X for random opinions and watch endless AI slop on YouTube. But if you’re looking for a place that throws out the bad and only keeps the good, then read Giant Freakin Robot. Gatekeeping is our business; it’s what we do.
