Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse wowed audiences everywhere and became a bigger box office success than its predecessor. The Miles Morales-centric sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse tells a more epic story that cannot be contained in one film, which is why it ends on a cliffhanger and will be picking up with the follow-up, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. However, Sony has an extra bit of a Spider-Verse story up their sleeve. A short from Sony Animation titled The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story would premiere at the Annecy International Film Festival last summer.

Variety now reports that The Spider Within will be made available on YouTube as Sony Pictures partners with the Kevin Love Fund.The Spider Within: A Spider-Verse Story is a bold look into the mental health of Miles Morales.

The digital release comes in partnership with the Kevin Love Fund, and will be incorporated as part of the fund’s new mental health-focused lesson plan, “The Hero Within.” The lesson plan invites students to tell their own story through the lens of mental health...

Call it basket-brawl. In the fourth quarter in New Orleans on Friday night, the Miami Heat and Pelicans got into a huge fight.

Things started when Pelicans star Zion Williamson went up and missed a shot, complaining that he was fouled.

After Miami’s Jimmy Butler rebounded the ball, Williamson stole it back in the paint, going up for a shot near the net before he was fouled hard by Miami’s Kevin Love.

Williamson grabbed Butler’s neck, and both teams ran into a moving scrum of dancing and shouting, as multiple players and coaches from both teams tried to stop the fight.

Naji Marshall and Butler were both ejected from the game as well as the Pelicans’ Jose Alvarado and the Heat’s Thomas Bryant.

The Heat won the game, 106-95. Watch the fight below.

Updated, Sunday Am after Saturday Pm writethru: Disney/Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder held steady on Saturday, despite those lower than normal CinemaScore and PostTrak exits for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title. The Taika Waititi-directed sequel grossed 42.1M yesterday which is 4 above Friday’s true take of 40.5M (That’s 69.5M less 29M Thursday previews). This will get Thor: Love and Thunder to a 143M opening, per Disney. Worldwide is 302M, just like Nancy and I told you.

That number is the 12th-best opening for a Marvel Cinematic Universe title, after Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2‘s 146.5M. As we mentioned previously, the wonderful thing for motion picture studios as they put tentpoles out in the rebounding pandemic marketplace is that critical scores and exits aren’t watering down grosses like they did during pre-pandemic days.

Thor, like Jurassic World dinosaurs, is a big enough franchise to keep moviegoers coming,...

When four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka dropped out of the French Open and Wimbledon because of anxiety and depression associated with compulsory press interviews, many fans were shocked at her bold confession.

Kevin Love's courage does not go unnoticed. During Sunday night's 2020 Espys, Matthew McConaughey had the honors of presenting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award to the NBA player.  "Of course courage is the kind of trait that comes with different looks. You often see it on city streets, emergency rooms, in hospitals, but you can also see it quite simply when someone looks themselves in the mirror, accepts that everything is not perfect, and finds the strength to say that out loud to the world," Matthew explained. "That's what Kevin Love began doing a few years ago. He is just a guy dealing with the kind of problems...

The 2020 Espys aired on Sunday and it may have looked like a different ceremony this year, but it still delivered awards show flair, celebrating the best in sports. While handing out trophies virtually to some of the most prominent figures in sports, it served inspiration and hope.

Hosted by Wnba’s Sue Bird, Ol Reign’s Megan Rapinoe and Seattle Seahawks Qb Russell Wilson, the ceremony was virtual and kicked off with a video tribute honoring the Black men and women in sports. Wilson then addressed the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and others which launched into Black Lives Matter movement of racial injustice that has been front and center in the past couple of weeks, but has been a battle for too long. He then addressed the need for his white colleagues to stand shoulder to shoulder with them and use their voice. “We need you to lead too,...

As Covid-19’s social distancing rules cancel graduation ceremonies around the country, the class of 2020 will likely find themselves at home come the big day, watching the proceedings on their screens. In light of these cancellations, social media giants such as Facebook and YouTube plan to celebrate graduates by hosting their own virtual commencements — all packed with celebrity guests.

One of the last people to find out about the coronavirus was actor Jared Leto. The Oscar winner was away on a 12 day meditation in the desert without any technology or outside communication, which is the most Jared Leto thing ever, by the way.

Of course, once he came back to civilization, Leto was met with countless texts from friends and family about the pandemic. And now that he’s caught up, the actor is starting his own quarantine cinema club. With health experts recommending people stay in their homes and practice social distancing, there’s no better time to catch up on some movies, right?

He tweeted last week that the “Jared Leto Cinema Club” would start on Sunday with the John Hughes classic Ferris Buller’s Day Off being the inaugural film. Leto then tweeted several screenshots of the movie as well as various popcorn-eating selfies. He’s...

NBC News offered a terse statement on Monday after the network’s longtime anchor Tom Brokaw suggested on-air that Hispanic Americans needed to do a better job “assimilating” into American culture.

“Tom’s comments were inaccurate and inappropriate and we’re glad he apologized,” the network said, offering nothing further on the matter. Brokaw sparked controversy on Sunday after addressing the typically fraught issues of race and immigration in the United States, and suggesting that Hispanics needed to “work harder” at becoming Americans.

“Hispanics should work harder at assimilation,” he said on “Meet The Press.” “They ought not to be just codified in their communities but make sure that all their kids are learning to speak English and that they feel comfortable in the communities. And that’s going to take outreach on both sides, frankly.”
