I'm a big fan of John Waters so I had to ask Digman! co-creator Andy Samberg how he became a guest star on one of last night's episodes. It all goes back to The Creeper video from The Lonely Island.
If you watched the new episodes of Digman! last night, you might have realized that John Waters was one of the guest stars. We asked show co-creator Andy Samberg how that all came about.

Even the greats second guess themselves. I talked with Genndy Tartakovsky about the newly released film Fixed. It went from being shelved by Warner Bros Discovery to issues finding a distributor to finally coming out on Netflix.
It was a long journey for the animated adult comedy Fixed to be released. We spoke with Genndy Tartakovsky who candidly discussed the process including his own self doubts

You’ve heard of Marvel-616? I talked with EPs Sean Coyle and James Eason-Garcia about Iron Man and His Awesome Friends and their Marvel-123ABC Universe.

Everything’s Going to Be Great hits select theaters today. I spoke with writer Steven Rogers, about how he drew inspiration from his own life for the film, and how they almost went in a different direction before casting Allison Janney.

River City Ransom is one of my favorite NES games. Glad to see the franchise is still going strong. Reviewed the latest installment, River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next
@gcatig1.bsky.social reviews 'River City Saga: Three Kingdoms Next' -- a pleasing mix of the Kunio-kun characters and 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'.
