Halloween 2026 Costume: Savannah Bananas
If you're old enough to understand the reference in my subtitle, congratulations. Around August or September, I always prepare for Halloween. I think about the holiday around June, coming up with some ideas of who or what to dress up as. 2026 will be my 17th year taking part in this celebration. Yes, you've heard that right. I've been dressing up for Halloween since 2010 and at the time, I was 22 years old. The last two Halloweens were baseball-related, with me being an Angel in the Outfield and the year before that, Reggie Jackson. I won my company-wide Halloween contests two years in a row and aiming for a third. I'll be sticking with the baseball theme again this year. However, who I'll be for Halloween is someone I intend to outdo last year's costume. Based on the subtitle for this story, you've probably have heard of them. It's none other than the Savannah Bananas. For those that aren't familiar with them, they're like the baseball version of The Harlem Globetrotters. Some people love them, while others despise them. For years, I fell in the latter category. I've accused them of ruining baseball, having entitled attitudes, and thinking that they were above everyone. I still stand by the last two points and have a right to feel this way, but it was difficult for me to find any reason to like them. Now, I'm starting to warm up to them a little (heavy emphasis on the little part) and give them a fair shot, which I've constantly resisted previously. Also, my birthday will take place about a couple of weeks after Halloween, and it'll be my final year in my thirties. I'll highlight the items that I plan to purchase in order to put this amazing costume together.

Sonali Kulkarni on Playing Salman Khan’s Mother Despite Being 9 Years Younger: “I Can’t Be Playing This Role”
Bollywood has often surprised audiences with unconventional casting choices, but few examples have generated as much curiosity as Sonali Kulkarni playing Salman Khan’s mother in the 2019 film Bharat. The unusual aspect was not the performance itself, but the fact that Kulkarni is nine years younger than Khan in real life.

Dear HBO: Please Don’t Just Make the Harry Potter Films Again
I am excited about the new Harry Potter television series. I am also slightly terrified of it. Because if we are going to do this again — seven books, seven years at Hogwarts, another Harry, another Ron, another Hermione, another Dumbledore — then there needs to be a reason for it beyond giving the Great Hall a new coat of paint.

Billy Madison vs Happy Gilmore
It's pretty safe to say that Adam Sandler's done it all. Sandler helped bring SNL back to prominence back in the early to mid-90s, and he followed that up with one hell of a film career. I can go on and on about Sandler's movies, and I have many times before. Classics such as The Waterboy, The Wedding Singer, Big Daddy, The Longest Yard, Grown Ups, and Pixels , just to name a few. However, we all know the two films that have defined Sandler for over three decades now: Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore .

Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 1: Why it still holds up today.
It’s not overstating it to say that Spider-Man is one of, if not THE most popular superhero in todays age. Since his inception in 1962 by Marvel comics creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko (RIP), the web slinger has crawled his way into millions of hearts over his 64 years of being around. It’s pretty easy to see why- Peter Parker, the boy turned man behind the mask was an average person instead of a millionaire, or esteemed soldier, or revered God. People can relate to him because his struggles are ones far different than other superheroes at the time were. For many, their knowledge of Spider-Man comes from the comics of his that they read, and for others it might be from the TV shows they watched his adventures from. For me, My first memory of the icon was when I caught the ending of 2002’s Spider-Man, where Willem Dafoes Green Goblin got impaled by his own glider. As first impressions go I was a little scared since I was only about five or six years old at the time and I saw it on television, but for whatever reason that image stuck with me, and I found myself with an urge to watch the whole movie someday. When I did…. I thought it was really enjoyable, and I’ve watched it several times since then.
