Top 5 Power Rangers Actresses Who Need to Play a Lifetime Movie Villainess (At Least Once)
Today is a big anniversary in the world of Power Rangers; it was 31 years ago today the whole phenomenon began. From the moment that the dumpster was opened, the Power Rangers franchise became a huge hit that has transcended generations. Most of us who have watched the MMPR, Zeo, and Turbo years have offspring who have enjoyed the current incarnations. It's absolutely amazing.

"Wolf": Was Laura Alden the True Villainess?
Amazing that this calendar year marks the 30th anniversary of Wolf, the underrated thriller that starred Jack Nicholson, Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader. I remember seeing the trailer to this as a kid, and I was awestruck over the fact that a "Wolfman" movie was coming out in my lifetime; I had already been familiar with the classic 1941 film even then. In this case, it was Nicholson's Will Randall who took on that full moon curse, though when I first watched this a few years after the theatrical release, I quickly noticed the psychological aspect of the film, which hit theaters on June 17, 1994.

A Look at Some of the Best Moments from AEW's All In
The highly anticipated All In event has come and gone, and it was definitely a show to remember. It was the second All In event under All Elite Wrestling, and just like last year's event, London's Wembley Stadium hosted the big extravaganza. For me, living in the West Coast, that meant an early start time--the pre-show (Zero Hour) started at 8AM Pacific Standard Time, and featured three matches, with one of them being unannounced until that day. The main show started at 10AM Pacific Standard Time, and it's why I really love that these companies are taking their PPVs to Europe, because it means an early start time for us American fans--just like the NFL's games in London and Germany.

A Look at the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates
We are closing in on the month of September, which is the last full month of the MLB season, so I thought I'd get back on track with the stories centering on the most memorable championship runs in baseball history. Now, here's the thing. I normally don't reveal my original plans for stories, but originally, my next story under this theme was going to be about the 1985 Kansas City Royals. But a few days ago, I looked at the standings, and saw that a certain team had been slipping down in the postseason race, and I was quite heartbroken by this. I'm not a fan of this team, but they fascinate me; in fact, the way that the city's sports teams carry themselves fascinates me. So I decided to give the spotlight to that certain team: the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The History of "Saved by the Bell" (Part II: Films and College Years)
Though Good Morning, Miss Bliss didn't last long--just a single season on the Disney Channel--NBC took the show, retooled it, and tinkered with the cast. As a result, Good Morning, Miss Bliss was transformed into the popular Saved by the Bell. The central cast included Mark-Paul Gosselaar (Zack Morris), Mario Lopez (A.C. Slater), Dustin Diamond (Samuel "Screech" Powers), Tiffani-Amber Thiessen (Kelly Kapowski), Elizabeth Berkley (Jessie Spano), Lark Voorhies (Lisa Turtle), and Dennis Haskins (Principal Richard Belding). This was the group that was featured on the Saturday morning series for all four seasons, from the freshman year up to the graduation from Bayside High School.

A Look at the New 12-Team College Football Playoff Format
The NFL is just over two weeks away from starting, but regarding NCAA football, that is literally around the corner. The 2024 season of Division I football starts on Saturday, August 24 with a plethora of games all over the country and all around television. As long as I can remember, while the NFL owned Sundays, NCAA football owned Saturdays. Here in the West Coast, games aired as early as 9AM Pacific Standard Time, and the day of action usually spanned 12 hours.

CFL Week 11 Recap: The Mild, Mild West
Soooo...what just happened? We are now past the halfway mark of the 2024 CFL season, and things are getting quite messy out West. First off, the Calgary Stampeders began the week hosting the Ottawa Redblacks, and that matchup is always nostalgic to me, because these two teams played each other for the Grey Cup twice. With the Toronto Argonauts off that week, I really needed Calgary to pull off a victory here to put some pressure on Ottawa. It looked good for Calgary, until a last second Redblacks field goal killed things. 31-29 was the final score in Ottawa's favor, and that's another notch they've picked up over the Boatmen.

Vespertilia
There were a lot of things that Paulina Rívera didn't expect to happen. She didn't expect that her 10 year marriage would be over, and she also didn't expect that her ex-husband, Randall West, would move on with another woman. Paulina often claims that she was cheated on, but all of that was always in her head. Despite having no evidence at all, and her friends knowing that she habitually makes meritless accusations, Paulina expected to be believed.

The History of "Saved by the Bell" (Part I: The Original Run)
We all love Saved by the Bell, don't we? It's one of those shows that we love so much that we can name various episodes based on even a simple sliver of a scene, or even by one or two lines. I don't think anyone who watched the show when it aired knew that it would become not only a phenomenon, but a known franchise as well, yet here we are.

CFL Week 10 Recap: Deadlock
I absolutely, positively, love this league! So Week 10 kicked off with a meeting between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Ottawa Redblacks, and it was slow at first. Scoreless after one and only 3-3 at the half. Ottawa led 7-3 entering the fourth. Then the scoring picked up in the fourth, but the result saw nothing settled after sixty minutes. 13-13 after regulation. We get CFL overtime! Ottawa had the first possession, and it results in touchdown. Oh boy. By rule, no extra points, two point conversions are mandatory in OT. The Redblacks' conversion fails. This means the Riders can win it with an eight-point touchdown, and here's where the insanity starts. Ottawa commits defensive pass interference, doesn't get called. Challenge is made, call overturned. OT continues, Riders score! Two-pointer fails.
