The List for Wednesday, August 4th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Marvel is BIG on origin stories for their superhero’s  on the big screen so,…HERE DAN gives us the origin story for Dan + Shay….

Dan: “We were at a party, at my house, and per usual, we were playing guitars, and passing guitars and singing covers. So Shay and I were hanging out that night, and I distinctly remember, I was like ‘This guy is pretty good at singing.’ And the next day we wrote a song, and that song got put on hold by a major artist that night, and we started writing more, and more songs. And we’re like, ‘This is going to work,’ and then somebody told us, ‘You guys should be a duo,’ and we’re like ‘Let’s do it.’”

Shay: “And here we are.”

And THEY will be at the Iowa State Fair Saturday August 21st

Brooke Shields is still active at 56, looks great and youthfull..turns out the secret it…donuts…  “I like to do pilates, and then I like to go get donuts.  It’s a huge donut on a stick.”

The trailer for the new Venom movie is out.. “Venom: Let There Be Carnage”  It’s the sequel to the 2018 comic book film starring Tom Hardy, as Eddie Brock, One side of Eddie is a journalist who lives a normal life. But his other half is Venom who feeds on people. In the movie Eddie interviews a serial killer, Cletus Kasady, who is played by Woody Harrelson, who later turns into Carnage, also a predator.  I’m sure we’ll preview it in “At The Movies” closer to the release date which is September 24th

In Theaters this weekend: ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’

Avatar: Fire and Ash picks up after The Way of Water and dives into darker territory, introducing a more aggressive Na’vi tribe tied to fire and volcanic regions. It cranks up the conflict, explores moral gray areas, and shows Pandora is a lot less peaceful than we thought.

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.
