Move over, MrBeast: Feastables has company in the creator candy business. FaZe Rug (real name Brian Awadis) has expanded his offline empire through 1Up Candy, which is launching with a line of sour gummies.
1Up’s first product is available in a six-pack filled with “extremely sour” gummies, which retails for $17.99. For the first 72 hours post-launch, 1Up sales will be limited to Cash App card holders. Those consumers will be the first buyers to take on Awadis’ Sour Gummy Challenge, which asks brave eaters to endure the ultra-tart flavor of the 1Up gummies. To make that challenge a bit less cruel, each six-pack comes with complimentary “Neutralizer” drink mixes.
Awadis’ candy brand is summoning childhood nostalgia by inviting buyers to remember the first time they ate Warheads. As part of that effort, the creator took an early crack at the Sour Gummy Challenge and posted the results on his YouTube channel,...

Writer/director Jalmari Helander is the mind behind 2010’s Rare Exports, which put its own warped spin on the Christmas movie. Now, he’s diving into a Finnish war actioner that brings a John Wick-level threat into the era of World War II. Sisu is as narratively straightforward as they come, but you can bank on Helander once again delivering on exactly what he’s selling.
‘Sisu’ pits a Finnish legend against Nazis Jorma Tommila as Aatami Korpi | Freezing Point Oy/Antti Rastivo/Lionsgate
Aatami Korpi (Jorma Tommila) is an ex-soldier who lost everything, mining for gold in the Lapland wilderness along with his dog. He left the war behind him, seeking to live the rest of his days in solitude. Set in 1944, the end of WWII is in sight, as the remaining Nazi soldiers led by SS Obersturmführer Bruno Helldorf (Aksel Hennie) realize that they don’t have...

In the new FX drama Snowfall, it's the summer of 1983 in South Central L.A.: palm trees, fire hydrants, boomboxes and the friendly neighborhood weed dealer. There's a kid named Franklin Saint – he went to a preppie boarding school in the Valley, but instead of moving on to college, he's drifted back to his old mean streets, working nights at a convenience store. By day, he sells pot to the local kids who dance while their radios blast "Jam on It." Across the country, a rap crew from Queens...

Amid his ongoing custody battle with his ex-wife Paula Patton, Robin Thicke utilized his visitation time with his 6-year-old son Julian on Saturday for a fun day out at Kids World, a family entertainment center.
“They played a bunch of arcade games and went on the slides and jungle gyms,” says an onlooker about the father-son duo at the L.A.-area fun zone. “Robin was literally the only adult on the jungle gym. Julian was sitting on his lap going down the slide.”
While roaming the venue, Thicke and Julian were also spotted snacking on Pop Rocks candy and ice cream.

It looks stunning, but Kubo and the Two Strings is hard to love. Still, Jim Jarmusch’s tribute to Iggy Pop rocks
Animation has become such a vast and active division of cinema in recent years that the word itself no longer feels specific enough. Kubo and the Two Strings (Universal, PG), the Laika company’s ravishing new stop-motion spectacle, has about as much in common formally, stylistically and narratively with a Pixar CG romp as with any live action film. Muddling Japanese folklore with its own manner of whimsy in a tale of a samurai’s son on a complicated, spirit-riddled quest to save his family and discover his legacy, Travis Knight’s debut boasts frame after ornately designed frame of gasp-inducing beauty. It looks and leaps like nothing else in its peer group, yet I wish I’d been as absorbed by its world as I was awed by it.

It’s Friday/let’s do it/Laugh at/James Corden. The CBS “Late Late Show” host and his pal Niall Horan from One Direction parodied Ginuwine’s “Pony” last night with Halloween anthem, “Candy.” “I’m just a Batman/looking for some Pop Rocks./Something with sweet inside/you look like the right Fun Size,” Corden kicks the music video off. And that’s nowhere near the last or best candy pun of the pre-taped sketch.

Jimmy Fallon and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson became bumbling senior prom outcasts on Thursday's Tonight Show. "Ermahgerd!" they giggled anxiously working up courage to ask girls to dance.

After hyping up each other by declaring they "totally scro-tally" rule the school, they ruin the vibe with each nervous female encounter.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's diet is infamous on the internet — especially for the amount of cod he eats — and last night, Jimmy Fallon questioned him about something missing: candy. According to Johnson, he hasn't eaten a single piece of candy since 1989. In fact, he's so sure of this fact that he remembers exactly what it was: a Twizzler, while watching a movie. Naturally, Fallon made it his mission to get Johnson to eat some candy on The Tonight Show. Fallon reveals a whole mess of candy from Twizzlers to Ring Pops and everything in between. The two finally decide on Pop Rocks (of course!), which Fallon basically hand feeds to the former wrestler. Watch Johnson break his 20+ year candy hiatus below.

This is a capsule review. A full review will be posted closer to release.
Though it gleefully identifies the obvious metaphor for its existence when presented, the self-aware Mr. Right is more analogous to a proposed super-treat mentioned in passing: fried whipped cream. This movie is pure confectionery. Sam Rockwell, playing an assassin-with-a-heart-of-gold, starts dancing within ten seconds of appearing on screen, and practically never stops. Anna Kendrick, as the disastrously rebounding gal swept up in his wake, is committedly deranged. And at its best, Max Landis’s genre-savvy dialogue crackles like Pop Rocks. These are all great things in moderation, but a dessert that’s all sweet, sweet froth, no base, doesn’t make for much of a dish at all.
Never quite as fun as it should be, Mr. Right is hard of vision, probably because one eye is fixed on the camera in a perpetual state of winking.

On May 31, two twelve-year-olds in Wisconsin allegedly stabbed a friend 19 times in honour of the mythic Slender Man. Fortunately, the victim survived. We disseminate most urban legends and false news stories via the internet now, and the Slender Man was one of the first major urban legends created as an internet meme, its success often credited to the chaotic nature of the internet.
This latest tragedy is something of a horrific role-reversal. Monsters, serial killers and maniacs in film and literature are often inspired by the real thing. A truly horrific incident based on fiction is another matter. For no matter what sick, depraved Awful one can create, it doesn’t hold a candle to reality.
Bernard Rose’s Candyman both exploits and takes such matters into account. The film follows Helen Lyle (Virgina Madsen) a graduate student at the University of Chicago in the then-fictional academic field of Folklore.

It Should Go Without Saying, but Don't Use Pop Rocks During Sex ‘Sex Sent Me to the ER’ shows what happens when fizzy candy goes where it shouldn't. by Liam Mathews I can understand why someone who doesn't think things all the way through would want to try using Pop Rocks during fellatio. It could add a tingling sensation that maybe could be appealing (It's not actually. Penises aren't meant to sizzle). But during cunnilingus? That's a recipe for disaster. For proof, watch this hilarious clip reenacting a California couple's visit to the ER after they made the wrong decision. In the clip, they say "candy rocks" because they didn't get the rights to say Pop Rocks, which is funny to me. A good rule of thumb for candy-play is, "Is this candy the subject of urban legends [...]...

Kristen Bell brought a burrito to the Oscars. Kerry Washington packed snacks in her purse. Since the annual ceremony doesn't serve food, many stars in the audience were forced to fend off their hunger during the long show with their own travel-sized treats, and Jennifer Lawrence was no exception.
The lover of Doritos and junk food in general brought a bag of Pop Rocks into the Dolby Theatre with her for the awards show. Surprisingly, though, she wasn't the one who had packed them. Instead, it was the folks on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" who gave her the Pop Rocks she took into the Oscars.
"When I'm presenting, I'm going to pour them into my mouth," she told Us Weekly on the red carpet before the show. As we now know, she didn't follow through on that claim.
But since she is Jennifer Lawrence, the Oscar winner also came with protein-filled snacks of her own.

Apparently Charlize Theron and Sean Penn made out at Madonna's Oscars afterparty on Sunday. If you don't remember, Sean and Madonna got divorced in 1989 but remain close friends.

The mid-’80s are an easy source of comedy. Boomboxes the size of Samsonites. John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. Pac Man Fever. White teens trying to moonwalk. All of these sonic and visual punchlines get a workout in writer-director Michael Tully’s Ping Pong Summer — a fun-but-slight coming-of-age story about an awkward Maryland teenager who becomes, well, not a man exactly, but a slightly more comfortable teenager, on a family vacation during the magical summer of 1985.

Justified Season 5 Episode 2: The Kids Aren’t All Right
Every new season of Justified is like getting a block of sandstone you chip away at, knowing you’ll unearth a treasure, a precious fossil or gem perhaps. But it requires patience to get that treasure out and hours of work. The season premieres are usually front-loaded with information; they are usually followed by some stand alone episodes containing more of that stone being chipped away – a little here, and a little there. Episode 502 continues that annual trend as our attention is diverted slightly from what transpired in “A Murder of Crowes” to follow up on one of our favorite recurring characters: Loretta McCready (played by Kaitlyn Dever, who never fails to impress).
You might remember her as the young girl Mags Bennett took in during season two, after her sons killed Loretta’s father. We also got to see...

What does a superstar football player do the day after he gets married?

What exactly is happening in this video is hard to say.

In August of 1991, the face of basic cable was changed forever when Nickelodeon debuted their Nicktoons block of original animated fare ranging from the relatively milquetoast "Doug," the scatological silliness of "Rugrats" and the certifiable insanity of "Ren & Stimpy."
Now, courtesy of the loony toons at Moviefone, these classic '90s characters are meeting the Earth's mightiest heroes head-on in a mash-up so sweet it's the pop-cultural equivalent of mixing Pop Rocks with Pepsi: Nicktoons and Marvel's "The Avengers."
As Stimpy might say, "Oh joy!"
In their gallery, you will see Stimpy raging out as The Hulk, Spongebob Squarepants as a soggy The Mighty Thor, Invader Zim as Iron Man, Gerald of "Hey Arnold!" as an afro-centric Nick Fury and more.

The original Twisted Metal was a fun mess, a custom wrecking rig that soldered the basic gameplay of Mario Kart’s battle mode with the carnage-heavy cheese and grit of Mortal Kombat. The controls were all over the place and the writing was pure Roger Corman schlock, but the multiplayer was addicting and it was popular enough to demand sequels and add the murderous clown Sweet Tooth to PlayStation’s questionable pantheon of mascots, right next to such timeless cultural icons as Crash Bandicoot and, um, Croc.

There are only a few proven constants in the known universe. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, mixing Pop Rocks and Pepsi in your stomach will cause you to burst from the inside out (actually, this one hasn’t been proven), and the Twilight movies make a crap ton of money. And here we are again, ladies and germs, at the period of the box office year when Twi-hards feast their ever-loving eyes on yet another one. But this isn’t just another Twilight movie. This is the beginning of the end, the first of a two-parter that finishes off the franchise for good. Or, at least, until they reboot. I’m guessing it’ll make some dough this weekend. Aren’t you?

The special brown phone that I’ve designated to ring only on that rare occasion that I get invited to New York City’s Annual Chocolate Show.

The title of the movie "Killer Elite" describes the characters in the story, but also its three big-time leads: Clive Owen, Jason Statham and Robert Frickin' De Niro. Statham plays a member of Britain's Elite Special Air Service whose mentor (Bobby D) is held prisoner. In true Statham style, he kicks out the jams and begins prematurely retiring a hella ton of assassins, including but not limited to Mr. Owen.
"Chuck" star Yvonne Strahovski rounds out the elite cast as Statham's Australian love interest. Consider the following clips a warning shot for some serious action.
1. Breakout. The "bread loaf silencer" is the greatest invention since the "Pop Rocks grenade."
2. Desert Tunnel Chase. "License to kill gophers by the government of the United Nations. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint."
3. New Year’s Eve. Australians celebrate New Year's in the outback...
