This past weekend brought the release of Hulu’s surprisingly entertaining Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice. While the movie is full of fun and quirky bits — ranging from a lively opening title sequence that’s headed by Ben Schwartz to an enthralling discussion about Gilmore Girls — its biggest perk has got to be Vince Vaughn‘s double-lead action performance, which crescendos with a satisfying climactic action set piece.
What’s more surprising than seeing him mow down a house full of faceless henchmen like he’s the protagonist of a Derek Kolstad-scripted action movie is how naturally he slides into the role. While this may be a shock to those who know Vaughn primarily for his comedic roles, it won’t be a complete surprise to those who have seen his collaborations with writer/director S. Craig Zahler. Specifically, his performance in Brawl in Cell Block 99,which demonstrated Vaughn’s ability to play against type from his usual comedic fare and his capacity to dominate the screen when the role requires him to throw down in an action scene.

Zahler’s Descension From Crime Film to Exploitation
Brawl in Cell Block 99 follows a drug mule named Bradley Thomas (Vaughn) who gets busted on a job and is sent to prison. While there, he’s informed that his pregnant wife (Jennifer Carpenter) has been abducted by the associates of a drug kingpin (Dion Mucciacito) that he failed during the drug bust. His only course of action is to act as a hit man and find and kill a fellow inmate in order to free his wife.
Structurally, Brawl in Cell Block 99 works much in the same way as did Zahler’s debut film, Bone Tomahawk, which is a classy western that devolves into a horrific cannibal horror film in its third act. Similarly, Cell Block 99 evolves from a straight-ahead crime drama to a seedy prison exploitation film, with Vaughn leading the charge. Aside from being unrecognizable with his shaved head and Southern drawl, the actor also has to capably portray a tough-as-nails, hardened badass, which he does remarkably well. This is thanks primarily to the execution of a decent number of choreographed fight scenes.
Vaughn has a background in wrestling, boxing, and jiu-jitsu, and he allegedly undertook three months of training and gained 15 pounds of muscle before filming to get into the physicality required for the role. You can see his training on the screen because, while this isn’t an “action” movie per se, it does require him to perform multiple, long-take, highly-choreographed fight scenes, often against multiple opponents at once.
Since it’s an S. Craig Zahler film, several of these are done in flat master shots, which you would think would make the action bland and dull-looking but actually give the fight scenes a clear sense of geography. You can always tell where everyone is in relation to one another, and it makes the hits more blunt and the takedowns more satisfying. The violence manages to feel authentic in its brutality, while still maintaining a sense of heightened realism in how Vaughn is portrayed like an unstoppable force rather than an ordinary man. Even in the film’s non-fight scenes, Vaughn is shot to look big and imposing, not to mention the fact that he takes a shot to the back with a barbell and barely flinches. If you liked the street fights in Blood & Bone or the long-take fight scene in Spike Lee‘s remake of Oldboy, the battles in Brawl in Cell Block 99 will be right up your alley.
BenDavid Grabinski’s wild adventure is overloaded with pop culture references, genre explorations, and fun characters.

Vaughn’s Comedic Capabilities in a Non-Comedic Role

Despite not playing a comedic character in the film, it’s worth noting that Vaughn still manages to give a very funny performance. Bizarrely, this may be one of his funnier performances, since his dry delivery paired with Zahler’s trademark snarky dialogue merge remarkably well. It’s not quippy in a way that deflates the tension or drama of a scene. If anything, it’s more like the character is mainly out to amuse himself.
The best example of this is the interrogation scene that leads to his incarceration. What could’ve been a throwaway scene before he gets sentenced to prison ends up being a good showcase for his sense of loyalty to those whom he’s close to, which obviously will become relevant later. In this case, he refuses to give up the name of his boss (who’s also his friend) and still manages to show insubordination by having fun with his interrogator, since he knows there’s no way out of his predicament. His verbal sparring with the detective to blatantly avoid naming names is one of the highlights of the film, showing off both the quality of the dialogue and Vaughn’s comedic timing.
Brawl in Cell Block 99, which is currently streaming on Tubi and Hulu, is an epic demonstration of Vaughn’s range as an actor and his physical capabilities as a stunt performer. So, if you’ve watched Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice and want to see more of Vince Vaughn killing guys in equally ludicrous (albeit stylistically different) ways, Zahler’s prison thriller is just a click away.
It’s been a long wait since The Boys left viewers with the world in total chaos, but the end is finally in sight. Prime Video’s most brutal and wildly unpredictable series is about to return for its fifth and final season, and the setup sounds exactly as ugly as fans would want. Homelander’s got more power than ever, the country’s tipping further into nightmare territory, and Butcher is still out there ready to make everything even worse. In other words, this show isn’t easing into the finish line.
The Boys returns to Prime Video on April 8, 2026, which means the final season premieres in less than one week. Prime Video has confirmed that the season will launch with two episodes, followed by one new episode each week, with the series finale set for May 20, 2026. Amazon’s official synopsis for Season 5 makes it clear that things are in terrible shape heading into the final run.
“In the fifth and final season of The Boys, it’s Homelander’s world, completely subjected to his erratic, egomaniacal whims. Hughie, Mother’s Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a ‘Freedom Camp.’ Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it.”
That sounds pretty fitting for a show that was always heading toward total collapse. Creator Eric Kripke recently confirmed that Season 5 is fully finished and described the series as “the best professional experience of my life,” making it clear this really is the end of the road for the main show. At the same time, cast members have also been preparing fans for a rough ending, with Jack Quaid warning that this won’t be “a fairytale ending in any regard.”
It’s the last day of March, and the Madness is almost behind us. Huddle up and see what you know about these depictions of basketball on television.

Who Stars in ‘The Boys’?
The full main cast of The Boys includes Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie Campbell, Antony Starr as Homelander, Erin Moriarty as Starlight/Annie January, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Tomer Capone as Frenchie, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Chace Crawford as The Deep, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, Colby Minifie as Ashley Barrett, and Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy.
Things got real in Mimi Faust and her daughter Eva Giselle Jordan’s latest Instagram clip—well, “real” in that classic mother-daughter debate kind of way. At first glance, it seemed like a simple beauty chat, but fans quickly realized this conversation was about way more than just lashes. Mimi and Eva went back and forth, with playful digs, gentle warnings, and that signature “Mimi energy” we all know.
In the clip shared to Mimi’s Instagram page on Tuesday, Eva’s makeup session was underway when the person filming—possibly Mimi’s makeup artist—mentioned putting “clusters” on her eyes. Eva immediately chimed in, saying her mom still treats her like she’s 10. Not missing a beat, Mimi popped into frame, shouting, “CLUSTERS!” Eva argued that everyone her age was wearing them, even younger girls, but Mimi quickly asked her age. When Eva said “16,” Mimi reminded her that in two more years, she can do whatever she wants. The conversation took a more serious turn when Eva mentioned that Mimi had never visited her school, to which Mimi responded that she had. Faust added a motherly warning that she doesn’t want her daughter to become a “thotbot.”
Comment Section Buzzes Over Lash Showdown
Fans didn’t waste a second before flooding Mimi’s Instagram comment section with their two cents. Some agreed with Mimi, saying she’s right to set boundaries, while others argued Eva should at least be allowed a little mascara. Of course, plenty of folks weighed in on the age-old debate, noting that so many teens look way older than they are and should enjoy looking like a kid for as long as possible.

And, Instagram user @kutsbykoko commented, “Be a little girl as long as you can because when you’re grown it’s no going back“
Meanwhile, Instagram user @im_khynah_hoe shared, “And said that wit a straight face with lashes on your face.“

Mimi And Eva Clash Over School Dance Outfit
But the lashes debate wasn’t the only topic Mimi Faust and Eva Giselle Jordan were seemingly navigating that week. A few weeks ago, Mimi had shared a clip with her followers, showing her daughter Eva and friend Ty reflecting on a past school event—a sneaker ball she attended in eighth grade. As Eva revealed that her mom still treated her like a kid, the trio got into a lively discussion about what she had worn, with Mimi defending the outfit as “cute,” while Eva and Ty pushed back, debating whether it was age-appropriate. The conversation ultimately circled back to Mimi’s concerns about her daughter not wanting to look like a “thot,” highlighting that even beyond lashes, mother-daughter boundaries were still very much in play.
Looks like Brittney Taylor and Bianca Bonnie, also known as “Young B,” are at odds yet again. The tension stems from their longtime beef, dating back to the early 2000s, when they released iconic New York dance records. The two even clashed over the same issues during their time on’Love & Hip Hop’ in 2017. Now, Brittney is back and says she’s tired of biting her tongue.
Brittney Taylor Expresses Her Frustration Following Bianca Bonnie’s Latest Performance
Following the ‘Boys 4 Life’ tour stop in Brooklyn, New York, Brittney Taylor was upset after seeing Bianca Bonnie take the stage. During her performance, Bianca performed her 2005 hit ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ with DJ Webstar and also danced to ‘5000’ by DJ Webstar, Brittney Taylor, and the Swag Kids. Brittney was also in attendance.
In a post, Brittney expressed frustration that Bianca has been performing her record for years without credit and said she’s no longer staying quiet. She also shared that she tried to tell her side on ‘Love & Hip Hop,’ but felt like she was painted as the one copying Bianca. Brittney added that despite everything, Bianca is still performing her record. She said the situation has been traumatizing and now feels like Bianca is taunting her.
She wrote,“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH For YEARS I watched this girl do a whole WORLD tour performing MY song (& Swag Kids)… and I stayed quiet.NOT ANYMORE.
Do you know what it feels like to be backstage at a Bow Wow concert… hearing YOUR voice… but YOU’RE not the one on stage?

I put in blood, sweat, talent, and tears for YEARS… just to watch someone who doesn’t even like me perform MY work across multiple platforms and stayed quiet.
She performed this at Cardi B’s daughter’s party, Kai Cenat’s stream, and more… while claiming something she didn’t write, produce, or record.
I even tried to tell my story on Love & Hip Hop… and somehow got painted out to be the one who copied her and tried to be like her.
Meanwhile… she’s still performing MY record.

I’m a mother of two. I do this on my own. And this situation is honestly traumatizing.
And now it feels like she’s taunting me… intentionally performing something that isn’t hers.
I can’t stay quiet anymore.
I need EVERYONE to tag, share, and apply pressure.

Spam her comments and demand she STOP performing MY song and perform HER song “Chicken Noodle Soup.”
S/o to @knockaynto for helping bring light to this situation and everyone who’s been supporting. Because Enough is enough.
Love y’all
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE”

Bianca Bonnie Seemingly Responds With A Message
While Brittney took shots, Bianca Bonnie was over on her Instagram sharing a message. The rapper celebrated 20 years since the release of ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ and made it clear she’s not paying attention to anything else.
She wrote,“#20yearsofChickennoodlesoup yall should be saying thank you instead of hating for a living @damagedgoodscompany…”
Adding in another post, “Young B stands for Young BluePrint now everybody say thank you.” In another set of posts, she made it known that she’s “Ms. do what I want.” Bianca Bonnie bragged about her success, celebrating ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ going viral along with a message for the haters.
She wrote, “I am on Hot 97 & Power 105.1 in NYC right now present day my new single #Outside #StreamIt. It is the 20th year anniversary of my hit single ‘Chicken Noodle Soup’ that I created & my uncle Drizzle made the beat for.

If you are a hater just hang tight, strap on your seat belt because it’s only going to be another long decade. 20 year anniversary concert loading…”
Social Media Weighs In
Folks gathered as they reacted to the ongoing beef between Brittney Taylor and Bianca Bonnie. While some felt Brittney should let it go, arguing that Bianca’s record is more well-known, others clapped back, saying that regardless, Bianca shouldn’t be performing Brittney’s song.

Things got tense on the road this week for 2 Chainz. Recently, he shared footage of a spicy confrontation that had fans doing a double-take. At first glance, it seemed like just another traffic scuffle. However, the woman turned up the heat when she accused the rapper of owing her dad money.
2 Chainz Confronted Over Alleged Debt On Atlanta Street
In the video posted to his social media, an unidentified woman in a nearby car was seen gesturing wildly and yelling at 2 Chainz through closed windows while stopped at a red light. The rapper claimed the woman’s anger stemmed from an alleged debt involving her father in Albany, Georgia. “Who J a** daughter this is tryin to drive me off the road,” 2 Chainz wrote in the caption, adding that she was also bringing his son into the mix. As the light turned green, the woman’s vehicle swerved toward his truck, appearing to try to force him off the street, all while making obscene gestures—including showing her bare feet in his direction.
Rapper Goes Off After Road Confrontation
Some details about the woman remain unclear, and 2 Chainz has not confirmed whether authorities were contacted, leaving fans to speculate about what else went down.
Furthermore, after the tense encounter, 2 Chainz seemingly added his thoughts in a follow-up clip, looking directly at the camera and shaking his head while driving. He warned, “Y’all need to leave them drugs alone,” calling the situation “crazy” and questioning, “What the h*ll is wrong with y’all?” as he recounted the words the woman shouted at him. “Some of you supposed to die,” he added. The rapper also went on to describe some people as “demons,” underscoring just how wild and unnerving the confrontation felt from his perspective.

Roommates Can’t Stop Talking About That FOOT
Fans immediately flooded TSR’s Instagram comment section after the video dropped, and they did not hold back. Many pointed out that the woman seemed pretty convincing in her tirade, while others questioned 2 Chainz, asking what he could have possibly done to provoke her. Of course, plenty of Roommates brought the humor, cracking jokes about how it apparently takes a lot of nerve to throw someone the FOOT like that.
One Instagram user @diorb said, “He know exactly what she’s talking bout auntie sound like she bout that too 😂😂”
This Instagram user @4fargo joked, “This just confirmed summer in Atlanta finna be a wild one lol“
And, Instagram user @carishathediva added, “Atlanta is a big ball of fun 😂😂😂😂 I saw a man walkin damn near naked on memorial drive the other day with a bonet on 🤸🤸🤸“

Baseball’s opening weekend started on March 25, 2026, with teams all over the country showing off their newest players alongside longtime fan favorites. One player, Edwin Diaz, switched teams over the winter during the offseason, transferring from the New York Mets to the Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Dodgers’ production staff wasn’t going to let the Mets forget it.
Diaz is a closing relief pitcher, meaning he would get called in toward the end of the game. Since relief pitchers come from the bullpen, which is often in the outfield, it takes a minute or two to make the hike across the field to the pitcher’s mound. Almost every player has some clip of music the stadium plays when they come out to the field or up to bat, but relief pitchers have a unique opportunity to really draw the moment out since they can play a couple of minutes of a walk-on song.
Since his time on the Seattle Mariners in 2018, Diaz’s walk-on music has been the song “Narco,” by Timmy Trumpet. Its distinctive opening bars are used by other players around the league as they come to bat, but the song’s piercing trumpet melody was highlighted by Diaz’s long walk across the field. When Diaz joined the Mets in 2019, he switched to another song, but it didn’t vibe for him, and he had a bad season.
In 2020 he switched back to “Narco,” and it became his trademark as he rose to prominence as one of the sport’s most distinguished and feared relief pitchers. SNY director John DeMarsico, in charge of the Mets broadcasts at that time, filmed numerous takes on his entrance to the field, one notable one inspired by the movie Raging Bull. Unannounced, the broadcast failed to switch to commercial when they were supposed to so they could highlight Diaz’s majestic trot onto the field.
It became such a phenomenon that in 2022, Timmy Trumpet himself offered to come play “Narco” live during Diaz’s entrance.

This spectacle was a big hit with Mets fans, but was widely ridiculed by fans of other teams, notably rivals such as the Yankees, Braves, Phillies, and Dodgers. The Mets were criticized for making a big deal out of the song, as well as pouring so much attention and cinematic artistry into the show.
After missing the 2023 season, Diaz returned to the Mets to pitch for 2024 and 2025, both seasons resulting in heartbreak with a near-miss to the World Series followed by a terrible season in which the team dropped in a freefall from first to last. Many players whose contracts were under free agency jumped ship; Diaz ran to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
He made his debut on March 28, 2026, against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and sure enough, “Narco” was his walk-on music. This is hardly remarkable in itself; players usually take their walk-on songs with them from team to team. What was remarkable was the Dodgers’ presentation.
The team made no attempt to hide their show being a pale imitation of the Mets’ show, complete with a live but inferior trumpeter. As much ridicule as the Mets faced for the spectacle they made of Diaz and his entrance music, the Dodgers used the song, and the opportunity, to rub his loss in their faces. Diaz would go on to close the game for the Dodgers, striking out two during the eighth inning; the Dodgers did not need to play the bottom of the ninth.

By mimicking DeMarsico, who was released from SNY for “creative differences,” the Dodgers did manage to show that the director’s impact is still felt on a sport whose administrators want homogeneity. Rob Manfred, the Commissioner of Baseball, stated last season that he expects to have all regional baseball broadcasts under one banner by 2028. SNY was the most obviously distinct broadcast due to DeMarsico’s creativity, but other holdouts include the Dodger, Yankee, and San Francisco Giant broadcasts, each of which are directly owned by team interests.
It also put a spotlight on DeMarsico’s absence from the Mets. The SNY broadcast is noticeably absent the tricks and techniques the former director used to enhance the game, such as the “PitchCom Robot” and split-screen shots of the pitcher and batter as they face off.
The Dodgers, unlike the Mets, have been highly praised for the show and its inclusion of a live trumpeter, seeming to forget that the man who wrote the song already performed it for Diaz when he was a Met. This is pretty typical, though. The Mets don’t usually receive favorable commentary from MLB, while the Dodgers are one of its flagship teams.
So, the season started with a mic-drop from the Dodgers that was definitely meant for Mets fans. Team rivalries are one thing, but should be settled on the field, not with the baseball equivalent of an epic rap battle. Though it would be poetic justice if the Mets responded by knocking the Dodgers and Diaz out of the postseason and finally winning a World Series while blaring “Narco” all over the stadium.
Roommates, things took an unexpected turn when Donald Trump weighed in on Druski‘s viral “conservative women” skit. Like the rest of social media, the president presumed that Erika Kirk was the inspiration behind the comedy sketch. His recommendation to Erika? Sue the comedian.
Trump Suggests Legal Action Over Druski’s Viral Skit
During a White House Easter lunch on Wednesday, Donald Trump appeared to encourage Erika Kirk to pursue legal action against Druski amid backlash over his viral skit. While speaking, Trump seemingly addressed Charlie Kirk’s widow directly, saying, “You’re doing well, right? … I think you should sue him,” before adding, “I told her, you ought to sue some of these. They’re so jealous of Erika.” He continued, “I can say it—you’re not allowed to say this, you have to be nicer—sue their a** off,” sparking widespread reactions online. It’s worth noting that Trump did not name Druski or the skit specifically, but social media is connecting the dots based on the timing.
The remarks appeared to reference Druski’s recent parody of conservative (and likely white) women, which has been circulating widely on social media. However, no legal action has been confirmed, and additional viral claims surrounding the situation have since been debunked. Rumors suggesting Druski revealed a white grandfather in response were proven false, as a spokesperson clarified to Complex that the man in his post was actually a former neighbor—not a relative. The spokesperson also shut down speculation about a cease-and-desist from Erika Kirk, confirming that no such legal action has been taken.
Internet Weighs In On Trump’s Suggestion
As soon as folks caught wind of the moment, they ran straight to TSR’s Instagram comment section and went IN. Some pointed out that Druski never even mentioned Erika by name, while others joked that there are bigger issues to focus on—like world hunger. Meanwhile, a few Roommates flipped the script entirely, saying maybe Trump should be the one getting sued for all the stress he’s caused.
One Instagram user @dadsdoitoo added, “I guess Central Park boys need to you sue too right? 😂😂”

This Instagram user @sarah_delangel commented, “😂😂😂😂😂 druski didn’t even use her name“
Likewise, Instagram user @bradleyandbritnee shared, “How? He never once said her name 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @danielfunnyashell wrote, “people are starving and dying and he is worried about druski skits????“
Then, Instagram user @real.kaylaab said, “So can the Obamas sue you over the ape video?????????? Bc that was very very DISTURBING“

Lastly, Instagram user @withlove.shally added, “Trump! We should sue you for emotional distress! WTF?!”
Druski Can’t Catch A Break
Trump isn’t the only politician who spoke on Druski’s viral skit. On Thursday, Ted Cruztook to X with a short, sharp, and scathing reaction, calling the video “beneath contempt.” Social media immediately blew up, with fans debating whether Cruz’s critique was justified—or if he was just giving Druski free publicity. Meanwhile, the skit poking fun at conservative women’s behaviors has continued to rack up attention and laughs.
