Welcome to The List,
A fan asked Nic Cage what his favorite Keanu Reeves movie was. Nic said it’s difficult . . . he has “mixed emotions” about Keanu, because he “kicked his [butt] at billiards one night.” But if Nic HAD to answer? He said, “I like some of the early stuff like ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’. I thought he was great in ‘River’s Edge’.” Nicholas Cage’s Dracula movie “Renfield” is in theaters April 14th.

Welcome to The List,
Horror fans, buckle up, because nightmare fuel just got a backstory. That creepy Aunt Gladys from Weapons is getting her own prequel. The same witch who basically ruined recess forever. Now we’re diving into her origin story. Cool, cool… just what we needed. Sleep is officially canceled this fall.

ABC went full chaos for April Fool’s Day, announcing Miss Piggy as the next Bachelorette. Twenty-five men competing for love, drama, and probably karate chops. Jesse Palmer hosting, roses flying, egos bruised. And yes, they even joked about criminal records. Finally, a dating show where someone might actually get slapped on night one.
-----
Garth Brooks might be hitting the road, but apparently his nerves got there first. Reports say he’s stressed about touring and not having Trisha by his side. Because even country legends need emotional support spouses. Between legal drama and stage jitters, it’s a lot. Moral of the story, even Garth gets the pre-show butterflies.

Taylor Sheridan says if critics are mad, he’s doing his job right. The guy behind Yellowstone is basically trolling reviewers on purpose. He wants them fired up, writing angry think pieces. Because nothing sells like outrage and cowboy drama. Imagine getting paid to annoy people… oh wait, radio.
