Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds in a movie give you exactly Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds in a movie, just as you know them. A bit confusing, I know. A movie with the trio, such as Red Notice, is just a movie with actual star and fantasized superhero power.

Written by Okediran AdeyemiTwitter : OkediranAdeyem1Instagram: Yemi_Write It is quite disheartening and pathetic to see, that the most anticipated television show in Nigeria, Gulder Ultimate Search, is not getting as much favourable reaction as a lot of the fans had thought it would. The survival reality show, Gulder Ultimate Search, which dominated the Nigerian airwaves in the early 2000s, has not been making much buzz despite its triumphant return after seven years off-air.

They’ve been making me chuckle, not only because they bring back funny memories, but because they look original and familiar at the same time. As a way to look forward to future Nollywood titles, we kicked off a new series on Instagram titled “Everything You Need to Know”.

The Prince of Egypt kicks off as a meticulously animated tale of helpless slaves pitted against their masters. While the enslaved only have the heavens to cry unto—whips lash, hands toil, sweat drips, and Egyptian monuments rise.

In my review of David Chappelle’s 2019 special, Sticks and Stones, I called the highly controversial-yet-successful standup comic a fool. And in his latest special for Netflix, he’s here to defend himself, taking over from his devoted followers who have to do most of the defending on social media after every special, due to the star’s inactivity on social media. With an inactive Twitter and Instagram account, he is always aware of the ‘draggings’ that take place on the platforms, oftentimes, lasting days after a new special. While most of the ‘discussion’ have been against his LGBTQ jokes, notably, the…

Editor’s notes: With the success of King of Boys amongst the Nigerian audience, and the return of Gulder Ultimate Search, our guest writer takes a look at the golden era of Nigerian TV from a personal lens. Written by Okediran AdeyemiTwitter : OkediranAdeyem1Instagram: Yemi_Write Moments don’t always dissolve into memories. A ton of them are lived and forgotten. But there are a few that never settle and resurface as a memory, making people go through a weird period of nostalgia and other similar emotions. I remember being aroused from sleep early in the morning by a commercial advert from a radio…
