I owe Lindsay Lohan an apology. The actress has been a part of my life since 1998, when she made her film debut in the Disney classic The Parent Trap, but it turns out that I’ve been pronouncing her name wrong this whole time. You probably have, too.
Lohan recently joined TikTok, and in her inaugural video, the Netflix Christmas movie star said, “Hey everyone, it’s Lindsay Lohan, and guess what? Now I’m on TikTok.” It’s maybe not the most exciting TikTok ever, but it made me realize that her last name is not pronounced “Lo-HAN,” which is how I’ve always said it, but “Low-en.”
“Have I been pronouncing your name wrong my entire life? I thought it was LoHAAAN,” one user commented on Lohan’s post. Another wrote, “Wait. Lindsey ‘LOWEN’?!? I’VE BEEN SAYING IT WRONG MY WHOLE LIFE?!?” One user even apologized, writing, “im sorry i’ve said your name wrong my entire life.”
Actually, I owe Lohan two apologies: the last name thing, and for what I told my friend after seeing Herbie: Fully Loaded in high school. “Herbie: Fully Loaded? More like Herbie: Fully Crappy” was an unnecessarily harsh review, I’m sorry.
You can listen to the correct pronunciation below.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is either the best Zelda game or the worst. Okay, maybe that’s a little hyperbolic, but the discussion around the game almost always goes down that path. That’s because this is one of those games that took the established Zelda formula and made some major changes — Majora’s Mask is, in theory, one of the shortest games in the Zelda franchise. There are only four major dungeons and completing those four major dungeons is the only thing the player has to do to beat the game.
Where Majora’s Mask truly shines, however, is the side quests spread out throughout the world of Termina. There is maybe no game in the franchise besides Breath of the Wild full of the depth that exists in Majora’s Mask. There are plenty of side quests to keep the player throughout their journey and many of them have to be solved in creative ways using the game’s main mechanic, time loops. The player has three days to save Termina from impending doom, but they can reset back to the first day whenever they want using the Song of Time. This is also how the player will complete all the side quests, collect all the masks, and get an awesome reward at the end of the game.

Olivia Rodrigo was one of 2021’s defining artists thanks to the strength of Sour, so naturally, fans are eagerly awaiting new music from Rodrigo. Well, now she’s offered an update on that front, revealing that things are progressing.
In a new Billboard interview, Rodrigo said, “I have a title for my next album and a few songs. It’s really exciting to think about the next world that’s coming up for me. I just love writing songs. I’m trying not to put too much pressure on myself. [I want to] just sort of explore and have fun right now.” She also noted her songwriting process for the new album has some differences and similarities to how she wrote Sour, saying, “It’s definitely a different experience writing a second album after having a debut that was so well-received. I still write so much of my music in my bedroom though, and I don’t think that experience will ever change. Writing songs will hopefully always be an outlet for me to process my feelings before anything else.”
She also said she’s once again collaborating with Dan Nigro:
“I absolutely love working with Dan. We have such a good groove together. We are always sharing ideas back-and-forth and have been carving out time to work together in the studio. The craziness of Sour being out in the world was something that really only Dan and I could relate to, and I think that has brought us closer together. I trust him so much and really enjoy the music we’ve been making.”
On Dec. 17, 2021, the Miami Heat picked up a 115-105 win over the Orlando Magic thanks in part to an unlikely hero: Max Strus. Miami seemed snakebitten earlier this season, ravaged by a collection of injuries and bouts of COVID, and space became available for lesser-heralded players to win them basketball games.
Strus, who had flashed his ability to score a handful of times during his tenure with the Heat, came off the bench and scored 32 points while connecting on eight of his 11 attempts from three. The next four games were much of the same — Strus racked up a few starts and kept scoring, and despite having his own stint in the NBA’s health and safety protocols, made his most emphatic statement yet that he has a role as a contributor on a team with championship aspirations.
“I think [Heat coach Erik Spoelstra] is one of the most unique coaches in the NBA for that reason,” Strus told Dime when asked about his coach’s tendency to let guys ride out hot streaks, regardless of their perceived role in a team’s hierarchy. “He’ll play anybody, at any time.”
The fact that Strus is even playing for an NBA team is a testament to a willingness to put his head down and work amid a rather unique path to the league. He wasn’t a blue-chip prospect by any means coming out of high school at Amos Alonzo Stagg in Chicago’s Palos Hills suburb — Chicago State University gave Strus his lone Divison I offer. Instead of going there, he spent two seasons at Lewis University in the Division II ranks before transferring to DePaul. Despite a pair of productive years with the Blue Demons, Strus went undrafted in 2019, ended up on a two-way with his childhood team, the Chicago Bulls, and two months into splitting time between the NBA and the G League, suffered a torn ACL.
It ended his season, but the far bigger issue was that Strus worried it might have ended his shot at playing in the league.
“I honestly was very scared and didn’t know where my career was going when I got hurt,” Strus recalls. “You never know with an ACL how you’re going to come back. And luckily, I got with the right people, the right trainers and staff that took care of my knee, and strength coaches and whatnot that helped me get back to where I was before. When you’re not established in the NBA, it’s hard to make a name for yourself and get chances.”
Making it in the NBA is hard. Making it as a 24-year-old without a ton of professional reps under your belt is even harder. Making it as that guy coming off of a potentially career-altering injury is, well, let’s just say you don’t see that every day. Being “scared of the unknown,” as Strus puts it, is only natural in that situation.
The good news for Strus is that his path helped him keep a level head. How big, really, is this sort of setback when Strus’ collegiate career started with him sitting on a bus with Lewis’ women’s team, getting shuttled on 10-hour rides from place to place so he could play a basketball game, all with the hopes that he’d eventually get a D-1 look?
“I think it gives me a good perspective to have of just being at all the places I’ve been, and all the stops I’ve had in my career, and all the challenges,” Strus says. “Honestly last year, I was just happy to be on a team and playing basketball again, and being healthy. When you’re out for nine months and can’t do anything with a knee injury, it really makes you think twice about the game and how much I missed it. Just having the joy in playing again and being out there with the team and being on the court again was enough.”
A call from the Heat came in the lead-up to the 2020 season. They wanted to get a look at him during training camp on an Exhibit 10 contract, which he parlayed into another two-way deal. He stuck with the Heat, showing some promise while getting time here and there during the league’s bizarre 2020-21 campaign, and after serving as a focal point of the team’s Summer League squad in Las Vegas — he says getting the chance to show off his ability to be a guy who can have the ball in his hands consistently after a year of being a role player was “the best decision for my career thus far” — put pen to paper on a two-year contract to stay in Miami.

Strus considers himself a hard worker. While he concedes he “probably” did not expect to be a guy averaging nearly 11 points per game and in the rotation for a team with NBA championship aspirations this early in his journey, he insists that this is how he saw his career playing out. Confidence and a strong sense of belief in his ability to one day be an NBA player are two things that never wavered as he worked his way back from his knee injury, all he wanted was an opportunity to show he could be that guy.
That didn’t necessarily mean being one of the guys who helped Miami navigate stretches in which more established names miss time, of course, but that’s certainly a good club to have in the bag. At DePaul, Strus was a 20-point a game scorer who served as the fulcrum of the team’s offense. The history of professional basketball is littered with guys who did not scale their game down after being the centerpiece of a college team, but coming into the league, Strus knew that possessing a dangerous jumper was going to be a way to stick around. If he could just hit those sorts of shots, maybe he’d eventually get the chance tap into the skills he developed earlier in his basketball playing career — he could put the ball on the deck and attack the rim, or kick it out to someone who got an open look off of his being aggressive.
And if (or more accurately, when) Bam Adebayo, or Jimmy Butler, or Tyler Herro, or Kyle Lowry, or anyone else on the Heat’s roster is in a groove, Strus is very aware that the best thing to do is to fill in gaps.
“I’m just here to do whatever our team needs,” Strus says. “We still have three superstars on our team, so I just got to figure out ways to help our team win, whatever that is on a nightly basis. It’s not gonna be scoring 20 points every night. It’s gonna be not scoring but playing defense, it’s gonna be rebounding. You just got to find out ways to affect the game and impact winning.”
Winning has been the norm in Miami this year. The Heat are 38-21, tied atop the Eastern Conference at the All-Star break with Strus’ old team, the Bulls. He heaps praise onto a pair of offseason additions with championship pedigrees, Lowry and P.J. Tucker, for seamlessly fitting into a locker room that brought back a number of key contributors from last year’s squad.
But more importantly, Strus thinks that the Heat are built to win due to everything that happens before and after they spend 48 minutes a night, 82 times a year, playing regular season basketball games.
“I think it’s our locker room, and our relationship with one another,” Strus replies when asked about how the Heat keep motoring in the face of injuries and illness. “We’ve kind of, since day one, we’ve all just been together and created a great environment. And obviously, winning helps with all of that, but I think we all really enjoy each other’s success, and there’s no BS behind that. We all genuinely do really care for one another and really want each other to succeed, and that’s contagious. And having that in your environment, it’s only gonna make each other better. I don’t see that going away anytime soon, it’s exciting and just gonna be way better for our future, and come playoff time, with everybody chipping in, everybody’s gonna have a role.”
He greatly values those relationships he’s been able to build in Miami — he calls it “pretty surreal,” for example, that he’s grown close to Butler, for whom he grew up rooting during his time in Chicago. (Yes, Strus says they have a “great relationship” and that Butler has “taken me in since day one,” even if they have been known to flip one another off during games.) As a young player still figuring out life in the league, Strus understands it’s important to learn as much as he can from the veterans around him as possible, and that while basketball is fleeting, the various relationships he’ll build up with other folks within the franchise will last forever.
As for what he wants to do while he’s in the league, Strus is keenly aware of how quickly this can all be taken away. He wants to be a consistent rotation player who, one day, becomes a consistent starter, all while continuing to improve his game. He wants to win, both because it’s the objective of everyone in the NBA and because he knows “everything else will come” after you have a reputation for being that sort of player.
That begins this year, and between the things he’s started to do individually and the success Miami has had collectively, he has reason to believe that reputation can be cemented by the time the season ends.
“I’m just gonna keep doing what I can to help this team win and hopefully make a super long run in the playoffs,” Strus says, “and know we’re bringing that trophy home.”
The meme comes from a 1968 episode of Spider-Man, “Double Identity,” in which “Spider-Man attempts to catch a man looking like Peter Parker who steals a valuable manuscript, but the man’s bodyguard Brutus knocks him down. The culprit is Charles Cameo who impersonates others while stealing art treasures.”
Look, it was great to see Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Electro, Sandman, and Lizard in No Way Home, but if Marvel is serious about having the highest-grossing movie of all-time again, Charles Cameo needs to be in the next Spider-Man movie. The people (me) are demanding more Charles Cameo. Get a load of his wiki:
Along with his henchman, Brutus, he impersonates others (with full-sized costumes) and manages to steal things using them. He has impersonated: The prime minister, Peter Parker, Spider-Man, J. Jonah Jameson, Salvador Picasso (artist), and an art gallery manager.
Has Electro ever impersonated an art galley manager AND the prime minster? I think not. That’s some real villainy. Maybe he’ll be in the bonus features of the No Way Home Blu-ray (which you can preorder here).

After Roku unveiled the first look photos of Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al Yankovic in the upcoming biopic, WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, the actor has assured fans that he takes the role very seriously, and he’s committed to diving deep into the life of the accordion-wielding musician, wherever it might lead.
“Wearing the Hawaiian shirt is a huge responsibility that I don’t take lightly,” Radcliffe told People. “And I’m honored to finally share with the world the absolutely 100 percent unassailably true story of Weird Al’s depraved and scandalous life.”
As for Yankovic, well, he’s certain that this will become the defining role of Radcliffe career. In fact, he can’t think of anything else that might top it for the young actor. Via PEOPLE:
Yankovic, 62, said last month that he is “absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying” him in the film, joking of the British actor, “I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for.” He co-wrote the movie with director Eric Appel.
The stirring biopic will premiere on The Roku Channel, who also touted the epic nature of the project in a statement following Radcliffe’s casting. “The biopic holds nothing back, exploring every facet of Yankovic’s life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like ‘Eat It’ and ‘Like a Surgeon’ to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.”

Spoilers for The Power of the Dog will be found below.
Oscar nominations abounded for Jane Campion’s new Netflix movie, The Power Of The Dog, starring Benedict Cumberbatch as a sinister rancher (who’s fueled by toxic masculinity). Phil ended up coming around to a more civilized stance later in the film, but he still continued to terrorize his sister in law (Kirsten Dunst), and Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee) kept his word to protect his mom. As the film shows, however, there’s a lack of definitive clarity in how Phil dies, and the realization of what happened came a surprise not only to his brother (Jesse Plemons) but the audience.
Peter, a bookish lad wise on the ways of pathogens, had hatched the idea of tainting a rope while noting that Phil had an open wound on his hands. That rope carried the Anthrax bacterium, which sealed Phil’s fate, as theorized by the medical examiner who attended his funeral.
Netflix
Phil’s brother had a hard time believing that his generally careful brother (when it came to dealing with potentially infected animals) had fallen prey to Anthrax, and his cause of death was not technically confirmed in the movie. Instead, Campion and her editor (Peter Sciberras, who’s Oscar-nominated for his work on the movie) told The Wrap how he and Campion decided to scrap the final shot of the movie, which went like this:
“It was a slow pan across Peter’s desk in his room, which showed a medical book on his desk,” revealed Sciberras. “And then the camera landed on the definition of anthrax in the book. And that was the last shot of the film.”
For the audience, this would have explicitly connected Phil’s untimely death to Peter’s knowledge and cunning of how to use anthrax as a poison. “That’s the exact thing that the novel does,” Sciberras pointed out.
The final open-ended note certainly generated discussion, and as Sciberras noted, he wrestled with the idea of removing that shot, but Campion pushed for the subtler ending. In the end, Sciberras came around while noting that the book’s ending worked in a less visual medium, but onscreen, “it felt kind of like a really basic idea.” And the Academy responded positively while showering the movie, including Campion and Sciberras with nods ahead of the March 27 ceremony.
The Power of the Dog is currently streaming on Netflix.
Season one of the Korean zombie series has spent four weeks in the top 10, and as noted by Comic Book, it’s “now the #3 Non-English language TV show on all of Netflix with over 536.39 million hours streamed.” The only shows with more hours viewed within the first 28 days of release (which is how Netflix calculates these things) are Squid Game season one, obviously, and Money Heist part four on the non-English side, and Bridgerton season one, Stranger Things season three, and The Witcher season one on the English chart. But because that 536.39 million hours only includes the first 23 days, All of Us Are Dead could top everything but Squid Game by this time next week.
Here’s the full list:
1. Squid Game: Season 1 (1.650 billion hours)
2. Money Heist: Part 4 (619 million hours)
3. All of Us Are Dead: Season 1 (536.39 million hours)
4. Money Heist: Part 3 (426.4 million hours)
5. Money Heist: Part 5 (395 million hours)
6. Café con aroma de mujer: Season 1 (326.9 million hours)
7. Lupin: Part 1 (316.83 million hours)
8. Elite: Season 3 (275.3 million hours)
9. Who Killed Sara?: Season 1 (266.43 million hours)
10. Elite: Season 4 (257 million hours)
