Rogue One baddie Ben Mendelsohn dropped by the Australian radio station triple j and was asked to “Mendelsohn up” the lyrics from The Lion King‘s I Just Can’t Wait to Be King. Watch him turn naivety into infernal ambition.

(PG-13: Language) The year is 1982. Pro cycling has become “a hornet’s nest of moral depravity.” Andy Samberg leads a who’s who of celebrities in HBO’s mockumentary about the sport’s doping controversy. Also starring Maya Rudolph, John Cena, Will Forte, and uhm…

(PG-13 Language) Materialisimo demolishes the endless stream low-quality, freebooted, text-embellished videos which fill our Facebook feeds these days. Regardless of what you think of them, we blame Facebook for encouraging this crap with their algorithm.

While the original Alien was the scariest of the franchise, Aliens was the most thrilling, thanks in large part to director James Cameron. Like a good celebrity roast, Screen Junkies is here to tear down what is still one of our favorite sequels of all time. Game over man. Game over.

Comedian Justin Cousson is sick and tired of cleaning up after his roommate. So he decided to shame his messy friend in a refined yet humorous manner, portraying his roommate’s destruction as art. We should just use a giant “mixed media” tag as our welcome mat.
