Mel Gibson Consulting With Excommunicated Archbishop — Who Once Called Pope Francis ‘A Servant of Satan’— for ‘Resurrection of the Christ’ Mel Gibson is getting input for his 'Resurrection of the Christ' from an excommunicated archbishop who once called Pope Francis ‘a servant of satan.'

Passion of the Christ and Mel's subsequent drunk bigot nosedive was low-key an early warning signal for the MAGA takeover to come, so it makes sense he's doing another one and consulting with an ex-archbishop who was excommunicated for hating gay people too much variety.com/2026/film/gl...

I'm glad the new Chris Fleming HBO special is getting a lot of buzz. I was there in person and can confirm it is brilliant. Maron just went on Instagram to say Chris is saving standup and it's not too hyperbolic a statement

When will the tastemaker reclamation of Neil Diamond happen? Every time I hear a Neil Diamond song in the wild I'm like, whoa what highly respected singer-songwriter from the '70s is this? Harry Nilsson? Warren Zevon? And then it turns out to be Neil Diamond

Also the crowd roaring with laughter at Lincoln's "Jack Kass" bit and then the judge not getting it till a minute later is, beat for beat, indistinguishable from any number of crowd scenes (or even courtroom scenes) on The Simpsons

This frame of Yaphet Kotto and Richard Belzer from Homicide looks like cover for an album by an early electro-pop duo
