The List for Wednesday, April 27th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Cary Elwes from “The Princess Bride” had to be airlifted to the hospital after getting bitten on the finger by a rattlesnake on Saturday.  He’s recovering well and commented “Bit not by a R.O.U.S. but a rattlesnake.   An R.O.U.S. is a creature from “Princess Bride”.  It stands for Rodents of Unusual Size.

A video of Darius Rucker shouting “[eff] Tennessee” has gone viral.  It was during a free concert on Sunday that honored the University of South Carolina women’s basketball team.  During his performance of “Wagon Wheel”  Instead of singing “from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee” . . . they all belted out “from the Cumberland Gap to [Eff], Tennessee.”

Director James Gunn went to bat for Chris Pratt on Twitter when a bunch of people randomly called for Chris Pratt’s Star-Lord character from “Guardians of the Galaxy” to be recast.  Well, director James Gunn wasn’t having any of it.  James replied, “For what?  Because of your made-up, utterly-false beliefs about him?  For something that someone else told you about him that’s not true?  Chris would never be replaced as Star-Lord but, if he ever was, we would all be going with him.”

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department has released police bodycam footage of the moments following the shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust.  Search warrants later revealed that the film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez Reed, loaded the Colt .45 believing a real bullet was a dummy round. She then handed the weapon to first assistant director who skipped the customary safety run-through.

Strong will and determination to make it…that’s what it takes.  Just ask Luke Bryan about long hard days….  In an interview on Apple Music Country, Luke talked about working at his dad’s peanut mill after college.  They were 15-hour days that left him so wrung out it felt like he’d been in a gang fight.  And yet, he still played concerts on the weekends with his lungs full of peanut dust….

The Verge says famed director JJ Abrams is teaming with Warner Brothers for a new live action Hot Wheels movie. Plot details are being kept a secret

The List for Friday, March 27th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Carrie Underwood says her boys can sing, but she is not handing out tiny little record deals just because Mom can hit a note. Her oldest is already a mini-Carrie, super into music, but she says the music business can wait until he is older and knows who he is. One minute Mom is on stage in sequins, next minute she is making dinner like nothing happened. Country queen by night, casserole ninja by six.

Morgan Wallen says he is done hiding behind excuses, and that might be the most grown-up sentence he has ever said out loud. He told CMT that back then, there was always something to blame when things went sideways. Now he says if he messes up, it is on him. Accountability..

Netflix just raised prices again, and at this point your streaming bill is starting to look like a car payment. The ad plan is now $8.99, standard is $19.99, and premium jumps to $26.99. Remember when cutting the cord was supposed to save money? Now we are all just paying cable prices with extra steps. Congrats, we played ourselves.

-----

The iHeartRadio Music Awards wrapped up last night, and if you are guessing who won everything, go ahead and say it with me. Taylor Swift. Again. Save everybody a few hours. Show up, wave, collect hardware, repeat.
