Idris Elba's 'Knuckles' Is The Sonic Series We Didn't Know We Needed
Live-action video game adaptations are always tricky to pull off. But, somehow, the various Sonic movies have walked that tricky line between arbitrarily new and slick, and deferential to the old video games and cartoons everybody loves. And now, whether we were ready for it or not, Sonic’s ally Knuckles is back for his own TV series.
Disney Will Drop A Sequel To One Of Its Best Movies Ever — This Year
Believe it or not, it’s been eight years since Moana hit theaters. Other than the first Frozen in 2014, it’s hard to name a bigger Disney hit. From its extremely memorable songs (“You’re Welcome!”) to its epic scope, Moana lives up to the hype and is particularly wonderful for families looking for a Disney adventure narrative that rejects a romance plot. The Rock’s take on Maui is a brilliant cipher for all kinds of dad energy, while Moana herself is one of the best Disney heroes ever. Period.

Brian Henson Reflects On Labyrinth,The Dark Crystal, And The Legacy Of The Muppets
Nobody should throw a baby into the air — but then again, you probably knew that right? As it turns out, the trials and tribulations of baby Toby in Labyrinth are not meant to be advice for parents, even if the movie is kind of a cautionary tale for vetting your babysitter. And yet, back in 1986, some critics and viewers were shocked that Jim Henson could make such a rowdy kids movie. “I was shocked that there was a huge response to how irresponsible it was for us to be throwing a baby around,” Brian Henson recalls with a laugh. “Of course, that’s not the way you treat a baby. There was a sense of humor to it.”
Colorectal Cancer Is Becoming More Common For People Under 50. But Why?
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. and the first for nonsmokers. Part of the reason why is a disturbing trend of increasing case numbers in young people under 50 across the globe, the U.S. included. Now, a recent study of five European countries, published in the journal Annals of Oncology, predicts that death from colorectal cancer will increase for young men in Italy, Poland, Spain, and the UK and for young women in Germany in 2024 — which would be the first time these deaths would rise in those aged 25 to 49 in some of these countries.
Too Much TV May Have A Shocking Effect On Toddlers
It’s not uncommon for parents to pop on the TV to keep their toddlers busy. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends no screen time, except for video chatting, for kids under 18 months. From 18 to 24 months, the AAP recommends introducing a maximum of an hour of screen time, and only if it’s high-quality educational media that’s viewed with the guidance of a caretaker.

When the dust of a divorce finally settles, the hope is for exes to remain on good-enough terms with one another. Life, it can’t be denied, is easier when you are. But when pettiness and anger win out, adjustments need to be made to ensure the heart of your co-parenting arrangement stays intact. And the solution boils down to empathy.
This NASCAR Driver Found A Hilarious Way To Win A Classic Baby Name Fight
Many parents-to-be have been here: you’ve narrowed down the baby name list — you’ve checked it twice — you’ve fact-checked any unintended references to childhood bullies or serial killers — and you and your spouse are still at a crossroads. Your spouse prefers one name — and you like it, but not as much as another. You can’t compromise. What do you do? Well now, a resurfaced story from Tyler Reddick — NASCAR racer and one of the stars of the recent Netflix documentary NASCAR: Full Speed — provides some inspiration on how to break the stalemate. So long as you’re the competitive type.
Why Your Gifted Kid Seems Lazy And Unmotivated
Although a gifted child may be able to do a homework assignment in half the time it would take their peers, getting them to complete or even start the assignment can sometimes be a struggle. This can lead to report cards that don’t match your child’s aptitude, leaving you wondering if your kid is just plain lazy and what buttons you could push to get them more interested in school.
Dune Popcorn Bucket Song Totally Wins Ayo Edebiri’s SNL Episode
In the world of Dune, the Fremen people of the planet Arrakis worship the great sandworms of their planets as gods. Sometimes called “the maker” and other times, Shai-Hulud, the sandworm is both the bringer of life and the destroyer of everything in Dune. This is also true of our world, in which a popcorn bucket shaped like the mouth of a giant sandworm has broken the sanity of everyone, and also given the world the greatest and most hilarious gift since Lucasfilm marketed an edible Jar-Jar Binks tongue candy in 1999.
Low Testosterone May Lead To Early Death. Here’s What That Means For You
If you want to gain a good picture of a man's overall health, measure his testosterone levels. Testosterone isn't just important for libido, strength, and energy — it also plays a role in bone health, cardiovascular health, and the immune system. And increasingly, research suggests the hormone is a reliable indicator for disease and longevity.
The Future Of Baby Naming Is Here, And It's Genderless
Generation Alpha is officially coming to a close. For 14 years — from 2010 to 2024 — the generation ruled delivery rooms and classrooms across the United States, spawning a new era of baby-naming trends, from vintage-inspired names and classic names spelled uniquely, to the rise of gender-neutral and dictionary names. Now, we’re just months away from the first Generation Beta babies — and firmly on the cusp of a new era of baby naming.
I’m Not Sure How My Family Ever Traveled Without This Gear Tote
Even the most fanatically organized among us — those of us who live to pack a car with Tetris-like precision or who pride ourselves on reducing a suitcase to essentialist perfection — are soon bested by parenthood. One goes from feeling like the John Wick of airport transfers to feeling more like the minor character in a sitcom, the sweaty neighbor, say, who’s always stumbling into the room with too much stuff and knocking all the art off the walls.
How I Felt After Finally Attending Therapy, According to 5 Men
More men are attending therapy than ever before. But it’s no secret that therapy can still be a tough sell. It’s accepted wisdom with an acceptance rate high enough to inspire a meme that mined absurdist humor from male aversion to therapy dozens of social media posts like “men will literally learn everything about ancient Rome instead of going to therapy.” It’s one of few memes with a premise that’s supported by social science data. While men face greater risk of death from mental illness, they’re statistically far less likely than women to seek mental health treatment. Even when men grapple with serious mental health issues like depression, the drive to conform to traditional masculine gender norms and internalized shame mental illness often prevent them from seeking professional help.
Larry David Doesn't Owe Elmo An Apology
Let’s face it, Larry David just did what countless parents have been wanting to do for years. During an appearance on The Today Show, promoting the upcoming final season of his brilliant comedy series, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry David — co-creator of Seinfeld and warrior for the people — grabbed Elmo by the face, and briefly, took a swing at Elmo’s father, Louie. Afterward, the comedian and writer was made to apologize to Elmo on camera but, come on, most of us are on team Larry with this, right?
20 Years Later, Oliver Jeffers Gets Very Real
When your kids ask you why the world exists or why people fight, what do you say? For parents everywhere, one of the biggest challenges in being a parent is simply that you don’t have all the answers, but certain smaller humans expect that you do. But, in this paradox of both responsibility and amateur-hour explanations, parents have an ally: award-winning children’s book author Oliver Jeffers.
Jason Kelce Says New Dads Need Just These 4 Things In The Delivery Room
Dads are clearly the second fiddle when it comes to delivery room dynamics. That’s not a bad thing: their primary objective is to support the laboring partner. But to do so well, expectant dads need to plan ahead in multiple ways. That includes prepping for the delivery room by taking classes with their partner, reading books, figuring out their roles ahead of time, and, of course, figuring out what — as in what product, shoes, accessories, and other tools — they may want to bring along in order to be the best version of themselves under stressful circumstances. But don’t know what to bring? Don’t worry. NFL Pro Bowler Jason Kelce has the scoop.
