Ash vs. Evil Dead star Ray Santiago built a career by defying racist stereotypes

When Ray Santiago was a teenager, an acting coach gave him one of those out-of-the-blue, kinda-sorta compliments that doesn't so much warm the heart as freeze the brain. "He said, 'You could play Ben Stiller's half-Latino son, if there was a movie for that,'" Santiago recalls, laughing. "And, I was like, 'Wait, what?!'"

Kevin Spacey’s fall from grace is a huge blow for television

After five seasons on Netflix, no one has managed to topple political mastermind Frank Underwood of “House of Cards.” But the same can no longer be said for the actor who plays him, Kevin Spacey. On Sunday, “Star Trek: Discovery” actor Anthony Rapp told BuzzFeed News that Spacey made a sexual advance on him when he was only 14 years old.

Kevin Spacey criticized for how he came out

Actors are usually hailed for coming out but Kevin Spacey is being criticized. That's because many are taking exception with the "House of Cards" star revealing his sexuality as part of an apology in the wake of an accusation of sexual misconduct. On Sunday, Buzzfeed published a story in which "Star Trek: Discovery" actor Anthony Rapp accused Spacey of making a sexual advance towards him in 1986 when Rapp was a 14-year-old child actor and Spacey was 26.

'Stranger Things': How Two Brothers Created Summer's Biggest TV Hit

The North Carolina–bred brothers were born in 1984 — a year after the show's setting — and, while they have murky recollections of Cold War anxiety, they grew up playing Magic: The Gathering more than Dungeons & Dragons. "We were like, 'Shit, the kids in the show can't be playing Magic: The Gathering; it hasn't been invented yet,'" Matt says with a laugh. "My brother and I played D&D. We just weren't particularly great at it."

Chicken farms fueled a massive public health crisis—while the government turned a blind eye

Antibiotic-resistant infections—everything from gastrointestinal illnesses to recurring urinary tract infections and staph—are among the most menacing issues in public health today, sickening 2 million people a year and killing at least 23,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So perhaps it’s not surprising that government has begun to take steps to limit antibiotics in animal agriculture, where many of these infections arise, before they wreak further havoc in humans.

Andrea Dovizioso takes MotoGP title fight to the wire with Malaysian victory

Andrea Dovizioso won a rain-hit Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday to keep the MotoGP title race alive as Marc Marquez's coronation was delayed with a fourth place finish. Italian Dovizioso overtook team mate Jorge Lorenzo with four laps remaining to claim his sixth win of the campaign at Sepang circuit and give Ducati a 1-2 finish for the first time this year. Johann Zarco grabbed third on his non-works Yamaha, nursing a soft rear tyre to the finish, frustrating Marquez's hopes of sealing his fourth MotoGP title with a race to spare.

The Deuce wraps up an impressive first season

The acclaimed HBO series about the rise of the porn industry in 1970s Times Square wraps up tonight, and we suspect our TV editor, Erik Adams, will be sorry to see it go. The lowest grade he’s given an episode is a B, with most hovering around an A-. He says the show has even secured its place as “The Wire’s rightful heir,” which is high praise indeed. The 75-minute season-one finale (The Deuce has already been renewed for season two) sounds pretty all-encompassing...

In $25 billion video game industry, voice actors face broken vocal cords and low pay

She woke up with a tickle in her throat. This was worrying for Ashly Burch, who, at 27, is a rising star in the small world of voice actors, best known for her work in video games. She knew actors who had blown out their voices in the studio. She’d come close herself. So leaving her house that morning Burch sipped a soothing mix of chai tea and pea milk. “It’s nondairy,” she said. “Dairy creates mucus, and that’s not a good sound.”

Every Single UK Number 1 Single (1980-2009)

Hard to believe that after Wham disbanded, but George Michael never had a number one in the UK as a solo artist – all his previous trips to the top had been duets. That all changed this year as he bought out his third album Older, arguably his strongest record in his career with a good mixture of strong up-tempo tracks and ballads. Leading the way was Jesus to a Child, which competes strongly with Father Figure as the best of his best ballads.

Ranking: Every Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Episode from Worst to Best

It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly three decades since Marge first stepped out from behind that curtain to warn viewers about the spooky scenes they were about to witness. But that warning started a proud, hilarious tradition for The Simpsons, and 28 seasons later, the show has offered a triple-dose of tales to fright and delight featuring Our Favorite Family each and every year. The Treehouse of Horror Halloween specials allow The Simpsons to spoof classic movies, indulge in a little blood and guts, and have some macabre fun in a non-canon setting.

The Collapse Of Visceral's Ambitious Star Wars Game

It seemed like a surefire hit: a Star Wars take on Uncharted, published by Electronic Arts and developed by the longrunning studio Visceral Games. But nothing is sure in the video game industry, and on October 17, 2017, when employees of Visceral were told that the company would be closing, some who had worked for the studio found themselves unsurprised. In many people’s eyes, doom was inevitable.

A new documentary claims Haribo gummy bears are made using slave labor in Brazil

Haribo gummy bears may be some of the most colorfully cheerful confections on the planet, but a new investigative documentary called "The Haribo Check" uncovers what may be a dark secret behind the making of these snacks. ARD — a German broadcasting station — aired the 45-minute documentary detailing what it found to be cruel labor and animal welfare practices behind the making of major ingredients in Haribo gummy bears. The investigation, which was part of a series called "Markencheck" ("Brand Check"), claims that the German candy company has become unwittingly dependent on modern-day slave labor in Brazil.

Captain Marvel), whose own standalone film is set to release in March of 2019, to show up in one of the Avengers films as well. Though Marvel insisted that Danvers would not be making an appearance in Infinity War, the internet has been abuzz with unconfirmed rumors concerning the character’s involvement in Avengers 4, and sightings of Brie Larson on the May 2019 film’s set. And now, we have official word on the matter.

Where “The Walking Dead” Goes Wrong With Zombies

Rick Grimes is cornered. A walker shuffles toward him, thoughtless yet eager for flesh. Sweat drips through Grimes’ thick beard, grown in the hundreds of fearful days and nights since the dead started to roam the earth. He quickly reaches for his knife—a weapon he never used in his days as a cop—and sinks it straight into the ghoul’s forehead. This isn’t any specific scene from AMC’s The Walking Dead. It fits the bill for many of them. But is the human skull—zombified or not—really weak enough to yield to a knife?

"Eminem Esque" was featured in Party advertisements and played on television, the internet and at a Party conference in the lead up to the 2014 election.

The World Series' Most Heartbreaking Loss Turns 20

The moment was so perfect that, in hindsight, disaster was inevitable. While the Cleveland Indians had reached the World Series in ’95—their first appearance since 1954—they lost to the Braves in six often bitter games that left fans disgusted even decades later. (Doubt it? Google “1995 World Series strike zone.”) By 1997, star slugger/Halloween enthusiast Albert Belle was gone and the team entered the playoffs having won only 86 games, 13 less than the previous year.

'Stranger Things 2' Is A Sequel That Mostly Lives Up To The Original

The first season of Stranger Things seemingly materialized from nowhere: an unhyped show from a pair of obscure creators who nonetheless had the pretensions to bill themselves as “The Duffer Brothers,” starring a cast of unknown kids (plus Winona Ryder and Matthew Modine in supporting roles), paying tribute to the Duffers’ favorite sci-fi, horror, and fantasy stories of the ’80s, that somehow became one of the most beloved, talked-about shows of last year. The surprise of it was nearly as appealing as Stranger Things itself — which managed to be so much more than an exercise in nostalgia...

Could Marvel Studios One-Shots Make A Comeback? Here’s What We Know

While Marvel Studios films and television shows continue to flesh out the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one initiative that has gone by the wayside is the company's One-Shots program. Beginning back in 2011 and including titles like The Consultant, Item 47, and Agent Carter, the series of shorts was used to both fill gaps in the continuity and tell stories that couldn't really be told on the big screen. Sadly, they stopped being made after the Ben Kingsley-starring All Hail The King in 2014 -- but the potential good news is that they may be making a comeback.
