Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a tough guy movie coming out, so it behooves them to go on tough guy podcasts and say tough guy things like… being canceled is worse than going to prison. Matty dropped that little number on Joe Rogan because of course. That statement is especially hilarious considering Matt Damon has never once been “canceled.” He caught some flack a few years back for all of five minutes, but last I checked, he remained an A-list Hollywood star that studios would put in everything if they could. My man, you’re fronting a Christopher Nolan movie this summer. What are we doing here? (Variety)

Whole lot of crickets from the participation trophy haters on this one. Funny that. (Celebitchy)

True story: I honestly pay very little attention to the words coming out of Candace Owens’ mouth, but I caught this rant the other day and am now dumber for it. Years of binge drinking in college did less damage to my brain. (Wonkette)

Lake Bell talking about The Chair Company, the best show of 2025 by a country mile? Yes, please. (Daily Beast)

Just kidding, Ted Sarandos loves movies theaters now. (Vulture)

James Cameron is tired of spending a dump truck of money only to have a single Avatar to show for it. (A.V. Club)

Maybe you should talk less, GameStop. I think you’ve got bigger problems. (The Wrap)

Remember how I said Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are on their tough guy tour? Here’s Jennifer Garner telling everyone Ben’s favorite Beyoncé song like a freaking ninja. To quote Lainey Gossip earlier this week: Jen was always the phoenix. (Page Six)

From Kayleigh:

living in a world where the only two jobs are “gambling” and “murder” isn’t nearly as cool as Cowboy Bebop made it out to be
