(EDITOR'S NOTE: ⁠View From The Pugh⁠ is a journalism project from ⁠Chris Pugh⁠. ⁠Subscribe to his daily newsletter⁠ and ⁠podcast⁠, ⁠follow him on YouTube⁠ and ⁠sponsor his work⁠)Today's post is sponsored by ⁠StreamYard⁠.This week on our movie review roundup, national film critic Bob Garver returns to the mic with thoughts on some of the biggest titles currently in theaters. From Pixar's latest space adventure to the newest Jurassic World installment, we dive deep into the hits—and misses—of summer 2025.The conversation starts with Jurassic World: Rebirth, which brings dinosaurs back for another round of chaos. Featuring big names like Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, the movie focuses on a mission to extract dinosaur DNA to cure heart disease. While some suspenseful moments work—especially one cliffside scene reminiscent of West Virginia's famous bridge walk—Bob found the movie predictable and uninspired. Final Grade: CShifting to animation, Pixar's Elio may not be crushing the box office, but it earns a warm recommendation from Bob. The story follows a young boy abducted by aliens and thrust into an intergalactic United Nations. It blends the emotional heart of Lilo & Stitch with the buddy dynamics of How to Train Your Dragon. Bob found it touching and visually stunning—deserving of more love than it's currently getting. Final Grade: B-In the horror world, 28 Years Later marks the long-awaited return of director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland. Set in a post-zombie-apocalypse world, the story follows a teenager raised in isolation from the infected mainland. With standout performances from Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jodie Comer, and Ralph Fiennes, the film blends thrilling zombie action with emotional depth. Final Grade: BBrad Pitt's F1 takes the high-speed action of Top Gun: Maverick and transposes it to the world of Formula One racing. Unfortunately, Bob found it derivative, overlong, and visually overwhelming without substance. If you've seen Top Gun, or any racing movie really, this one won't feel fresh. Final Grade: C-M3GAN 2.0, the sequel to the viral 2022 hit, takes the franchise in a more action-oriented direction—much to its detriment. Bob felt the sequel lacked the original's charm and horror balance. While the killer doll Megan is still entertaining, the rest of the cast phones it in. Final Grade: CBob concludes the episode looking forward to more promising titles coming later this month, including Fantastic Four and Superman. His advice? Skip the reboots and sequels unless you're a diehard fan, and don't overlook the underrated gems like 28 Years Later or Elio.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: ⁠View From The Pugh⁠ is a journalism project from ⁠Chris Pugh⁠. ⁠Subscribe to his daily newsletter⁠ and ⁠podcast⁠, ⁠follow him on YouTube⁠ and ⁠sponsor his work⁠)Today's post is sponsored by ⁠StreamYard⁠.The announcement of Cleveland as one of three expansion cities for the WNBA's 2028 season has sparked excitement and anticipation across the sports world. After a 25-year absence, professional women's basketball is returning to “The Land” with a new franchise, promising fresh opportunities for fans, players, and the community alike.Cleveland was an original WNBA market with the Rockers, a team that played from 1997 until 2003. The Rockers left behind a legacy of dedicated fans and a foundation of women's professional sports in the city. Now, as the league expands, Cleveland has the chance to redefine that legacy and build something bigger and better.One of the most talked-about topics is the team's name. Fans and commentators are debating whether to bring back the Cleveland Rockers or to embrace a new identity. The name “Spiders” has emerged as a strong contender, linking the team to the city's beloved minor league baseball history. Others propose names like Lady Cavs or Lady Kings, tying the new team to Cleveland's NBA heritage and basketball culture. Each option reflects different visions for the team's identity and connection to local sports traditions.Beyond the name, the challenge lies in attracting fans and gaining media attention. The WNBA has historically faced struggles with visibility compared to the NBA, despite growing viewership and impressive talent. Players like Caitlyn Clark and Angel Reese symbolize the new generation of stars bringing excitement and drawing attention to the league. Cleveland's team has the potential to become a home for such talent, inspiring local youth and energizing basketball fans.The cultural and media treatment of the WNBA remains a key hurdle. Women's sports often receive less coverage and lower attendance than men's leagues. However, the momentum behind women's basketball is undeniable, and Cleveland's strong sports culture offers fertile ground to grow the fanbase. With effective marketing and community engagement, the new WNBA team can thrive and elevate women's sports visibility in the region.As Cleveland prepares for the WNBA's arrival, the city stands on the brink of a new sports era. The excitement over team names, the return of professional women's basketball, and the opportunity to champion female athletes all point to a promising future. Whether the team is called the Rockers, Spiders, or another creative name, one thing is clear: Cleveland's WNBA journey is just beginning, and the whole city will be watching.

A key part of the project's funding—$600 million—will come from unclaimed funds managed by the state of Ohio, which has stirred mixed reactions among residents and stakeholders.Unclaimed funds represent money from various forgotten or abandoned accounts, including bank deposits, insurance claims, and uncashed checks. When rightful owners don't claim these funds within a designated period, they revert to the state treasury. With a total pool of about $3.7 billion, Ohio has allocated $600 million of this dormant money toward constructing a modern, multi-use stadium for the Browns.This allocation has raised eyebrows. Some question whether it is appropriate to use these funds for a sports facility rather than saving them for emergencies, returning them to taxpayers, or investing in other public services. However, supporters argue that investing in the stadium can generate long-term economic benefits for Cleveland and the wider region.The new stadium is designed to be more than just a football venue. Unlike the current FirstEnergy Stadium, which primarily hosts Browns games, the new facility aims to attract concerts, conventions, and large-scale events year-round. This diversified use is expected to increase visitation, create more jobs, and stimulate local businesses, from restaurants to hotels.Community members hope that the stadium will serve as a catalyst for urban revitalization in Northeast Ohio. By drawing tourists and event-goers, the project could boost the local economy and enhance Cleveland's reputation as a vibrant, dynamic city. Improved infrastructure, increased employment opportunities, and new entertainment options are among the anticipated benefits.Still, the project's funding source remains a sticking point for some. Unclaimed funds, while “found money,” originally belong to individuals who might not yet have claimed them. The concern is whether the state is adequately safeguarding these assets or risking public trust by redirecting the money to high-profile projects like a stadium.Ohio officials and project leaders emphasize transparency and the legal framework surrounding unclaimed funds. They assure the public that efforts to notify and reunite rightful owners with their money continue alongside the stadium plan. Furthermore, they highlight that the stadium's economic and cultural contributions could far outweigh initial concerns over the funding source.As Cleveland moves forward, the Browns stadium symbolizes more than just a sports venue; it represents a test case for innovative public financing and community impact. Balancing fiscal responsibility with growth potential will be key to the project's success and public acceptance.Residents and fans alike should stay informed and engaged as this ambitious plan progresses. The stadium has the potential to transform the region's sports and entertainment landscape—but only time will tell if the investment in unclaimed funds proves to be a winning play for Cleveland.

The team has acquired All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith from the Miami Dolphins in exchange for star safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a pick swap. It's a move that signals Pittsburgh's aggressive push to win now.Ramsey brings a championship pedigree and elite shutdown skills to a defense that is rapidly becoming one of the NFL's best. Alongside newly acquired Darius Slay, the Steelers' secondary will be a nightmare for opposing quarterbacks. Smith, meanwhile, adds a dynamic presence in the middle of the field. After setting a franchise record for receptions with Miami last season, he becomes a perfect target for newly signed quarterback Aaron Rodgers.Rodgers now has an offense stacked with talent—DK Metcalf, Najee Harris, and Smith create a trio of threats that few defenses can contain. The only question is how quickly the chemistry can develop in a division that doesn't allow for slow starts.From Miami's perspective, the trade makes sense financially. With the salary cap tightening, they shed two massive contracts and bring back Fitzpatrick, a former Dolphin and one of the league's best at his position. The pick swap gives them additional flexibility as they retool for the future.But even with all these moves, there's skepticism. Some analysts still rank the Steelers as the fourth-best team in the AFC North, a testament to how strong the division is. The Bengals remain elite with Joe Burrow, the Ravens are dangerous with Lamar Jackson, and the Browns may be poised for a breakout if Deshaun Watson returns to form.The key question for Pittsburgh is simple: can all these big names gel in time to contend?With Super Bowl aspirations and a stacked roster, the pressure is on. If it all comes together, this could be one of the most memorable seasons in recent Steelers history. If not, it may go down as a cautionary tale of trying to buy a championship.Either way, fans are in for a wild ride.

Whether you're heading to a major city display in Cleveland or a small-town celebration in Warren, there's something magical about the night sky lighting up in red, white and blue.In this week's podcast episode, we explore the past, present, and future of fireworks in Ohio. We start with a nostalgic look at fireworks displays at the old Cleveland Stadium—an era where Browns owner Art Modell used them not just to entertain fans but to market the team. For many, those shows were more than an event; they were a memory in the making.But not everyone experiences fireworks the same way. For pet owners and individuals with autism, July 4th can bring anxiety rather than excitement. The loud booms and unexpected explosions are stressful, raising important questions about how to make celebrations more inclusive.We also touch on how Ohio's fireworks laws have changed in recent years, allowing more people to shoot off their own fireworks at home. While this has created more localized displays, it's also raised safety and noise concerns, turning once-quiet neighborhoods into explosive battlegrounds.Logistically, attending large events still has its hurdles—traffic jams, unpredictable weather, and the hunt for a good viewing spot can wear down even the most enthusiastic revelers. Still, the energy and excitement of a well-organized community event can make it all worth it.Looking ahead to 2026, when America celebrates its 250th birthday, we ask: can we do better? Could Ohio communities create more coordinated, family-friendly, and inclusive events that reflect the spirit of unity?Ultimately, fireworks are about more than spectacle. They're a shared experience—of pride, of joy, of reflection. This Fourth of July, whether you're under stadium lights or sparklers in your backyard, may it be safe, fun, and full of connection.

Set in Cleveland and centered around an average guy navigating a dead-end job and absurd workplace politics, the sitcom became a cultural icon—especially in the Midwest. But for years, fans were left asking the same question: why can't we stream it?Now, there's good news... with a caveat.The Drew Carey Show is finally available on major platforms like Amazon and Apple TV. However, unlike other classic sitcoms that come bundled with subscription services, viewers will have to pay per episode—$2.99 each, to be exact. For those hoping to binge all nine seasons, the cost adds up quickly.So why the delay, and why the steep price?The answer lies in music rights. During its original run, The Drew Carey Show frequently featured popular music—from opening numbers to dream sequences and dance breaks. While these made the show special, they also created licensing hurdles that complicated its distribution in the streaming era. Negotiating rights for every track used across the series took years to sort out.This long-awaited return is a bittersweet victory for fans. On one hand, the show's availability means younger audiences can finally discover it. On the other hand, the pay-per-view model feels outdated in an era of binge culture. Still, for many, the cultural value outweighs the price.For Northeast Ohioans, the show holds even deeper significance. Rarely has a major network sitcom been so proudly rooted in Cleveland. From shout-outs to the Browns and Indians (now Guardians) to its blue-collar humor and unfiltered love for the city, the show was more than just funny—it was familiar.In a recent podcast episode, media analysts Chris and Guy explored this return in detail. Guy even shared a personal story about meeting Drew Carey at a Cleveland Browns game, reinforcing the show's close connection with its hometown roots.Their conversation also touched on how the rise of streaming is reshaping access to both legacy TV and live sports. With the NFL, MLB, and other leagues making streaming deals, consumers are forced to juggle subscriptions or pay à la carte—a trend that The Drew Carey Show's re-release exemplifies.In the end, The Drew Carey Show is back. It's not the easiest or cheapest to watch—but for die-hard fans and nostalgia lovers, it's a welcome return. Let's just hope this signals a broader effort to bring more classic shows—music rights and all—back into the digital age.

Inspired by the tone of true crime content and the sharp wit of modern internet humor, the campaign is both boldly creative and wildly controversial.The ad spots feature animated cereal pieces plotting and executing the (sometimes literal) consumption of their fellow squares. There are red-tinted scenes, mock-interviews, and over-the-top dramatizations that wouldn't feel out of place in a parody of Dateline NBC. The phrase “Must Synod Us” plays off both religious and crime-related themes, as if the cereal is confessing its sins — before devouring its brethren.So, what's the goal here?Clearly, this isn't aimed at children. Instead, the campaign seems to target millennial and Gen X adults, particularly the true crime-obsessed crowd. Think moms who fall asleep to podcasts about unsolved murders and love an ironic twist in their advertising.But while the concept is undeniably creative, the reaction has been mixed.On the one hand, the campaign has gone viral — drawing millions of views and plenty of commentary. On the other, critics question whether showing your product eating itself is a great way to encourage people to, well, eat it.And therein lies the great marketing paradox:

While the mentor-mentee story arc is familiar territory, Kosinski ensures it never feels stale.George highlights the film's technical prowess as its biggest asset. The racing scenes are heart-pounding, made even more powerful by the Dolby Atmos soundscape that lets you hear every gear shift, tire screech, and crowd roar with remarkable clarity. The camera work is equally immersive, bringing viewers right into the cockpit and across the track at dizzying speeds.Despite its predictable storyline, the film's craftsmanship earns it a B+ from George. He praises both leads for their grounded, emotionally resonant performances and credits Kosinski's direction for giving the film a fresh coat of polish.Switching gears, George shifts his focus to the streaming world. On Apple TV+, he recommends two stellar series for viewers seeking compelling narratives and strong performances.First up is Ironheart, a superhero origin story that transcends its comic-book roots. With powerful acting and a deeply human core, it stands out in a crowded genre. Then there's Smoke, a character-driven slow-burn that explores family, power, and justice in a world where not everything is black and white.George lauds both series for taking creative risks and delivering drama that lingers long after the credits roll.Looking ahead, George offers a preview of next week's review: Jurassic World: Dominion. His tone? Cautiously pessimistic. “Do we really need another dino-sequel?” he wonders aloud.One thing's for sure—whether it's the roar of an engine or the roar of a T-Rex, George is always ready to deliver sharp, honest reviews you can count on.

In this episode, Chris Pugh explores major shifts and lasting legacies in the world of sports leadership, focusing on two of the most respected figures in coaching: Gregg Popovich and Mike Tomlin.Gregg Popovich, the legendary head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, is making a historic move from the sidelines to the front office. After over two decades of excellence, including multiple NBA championships and a reputation for molding both players and character, Popovich will now serve as the president of basketball operations for the Spurs. His coaching resume includes guiding iconic players like David Robinson, Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili, and Tony Parker, building one of the most respected dynasties in modern sports.Popovich's leadership style—marked by intelligence, accountability, and a strong team-first mentality—has influenced not just players, but fellow coaches across the league. As he steps away from day-to-day coaching, he hands the reins to Mitch Johnson, a young and rising star within the Spurs organization. Pugh breaks down why Johnson's promotion signals continuity and evolution for the franchise.From the hardwood to the gridiron, Chris shifts focus to the NFL and the Pittsburgh Steelers' head coach Mike Tomlin. While Popovich transitions to a new role, Tomlin remains a pillar of consistency. Entering his 18th season as head coach, Tomlin has never had a losing season—an astounding feat in the modern NFL. Chris discusses the pressures Tomlin faces with a new quarterback era looming and reflects on how rare his longevity is in today's sports culture, where turnover is constant and results are demanded immediately.The podcast concludes with a heartfelt tribute to retired Steelers linebacker L.J. Fort.

For film lovers, the Oscars represent the culmination of an entire year's worth of filmmaking, acting, and storytelling. As the stars walked the red carpet and the winners took to the stage, the evening gave us insight into the shifting landscape of Hollywood and the world of cinema.In this video, Robert McCune shares his personal takeaways from the 2025 Oscars, offering his reflections on the biggest wins, surprising snubs, and what these moments reveal about the future of the film industry. From groundbreaking performances to the rise of new talent, the 2025 Oscars were a pivotal moment for the entertainment world, and Robert provides his analysis of the key themes and trends that emerged throughout the night.One of the standout moments of the 2025 Academy Awards was the continued emphasis on inclusivity and representation. In recent years, the Academy has made strides to acknowledge diverse voices and stories, and this year's ceremony showcased the progress that has been made. Robert discusses how this year's nominations and wins reflect a broader shift toward more inclusive storytelling in Hollywood. From films focusing on underrepresented communities to performances by actors of diverse backgrounds, the 2025 Oscars demonstrated that the industry is slowly but surely moving toward a more representative future.Particularly notable was the recognition of international films, with multiple foreign-language films securing nominations in major categories like Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. Robert explores how the global landscape of cinema is evolving, and what the success of these films means for the future of storytelling on the world stage. He also highlights the performance of breakout stars from different countries, such as new talent from South Korea, India, and Latin America, which is reshaping the way we view and consume films.Another key takeaway from the 2025 Oscars was the undeniable influence of digital platforms and streaming services on the film industry. The line between traditional cinema and digital platforms has been increasingly blurred, and this year's awards ceremony proved that streaming services are here to stay. Robert dives into the rise of Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, and other platforms that are now producing award-winning films and shows, challenging the traditional dominance of big studios in Hollywood.In particular, Robert highlights the dominance of streaming platform films in categories like Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best International Film. This trend shows how the industry is shifting toward a model where digital platforms have as much influence on the filmmaking process as traditional studios. Robert also discusses how this trend has led to the rise of innovative and experimental filmmaking, giving directors and writers more creative freedom than ever before.Every year, the Oscars come with a mix of anticipated victories and unexpected outcomes. The 2025 Academy Awards were no different, with a few surprises in store for the viewers and nominees alike. Robert provides his analysis of the major upsets of the night, including the wins that no one saw coming and the nominees who were snubbed. He shares his thoughts on whether these surprises reflect the evolving tastes of the Academy or whether they are simply part of the unpredictable nature of the Oscars.

Known for his remarkable depth, Hackman brought an unmatched intensity and authenticity to every role he played. However, the news of his death came under sad and unfortunate circumstances, which have stirred both admiration for his career and sorrow for the life he led outside of the spotlight.In this video, we will explore the life of Gene Hackman, his enduring influence on the film industry, and the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding his death.Gene Hackman was born on January 30, 1930, in San Bernardino, California. From a young age, Hackman was drawn to the arts, though his early life was far from glamorous. Raised in a working-class family, Hackman faced financial struggles and a tumultuous childhood. His parents' divorce and his experiences during the Korean War shaped his worldview and informed his later performances, giving him an ability to bring authenticity to the often complex characters he portrayed.He initially struggled to find his footing in Hollywood, with many considering him an unlikely leading man. However, Hackman's perseverance paid off, and he soon rose to prominence in films like The French Connection (1971), which earned him his first Academy Award for Best Actor. Throughout his career, Hackman would go on to star in countless classic films, such as The Conversation (1974), Unforgiven (1992), and Hoosiers (1986), to name just a few. His range of performances—often playing gritty, tough characters—earned him critical acclaim and a place as one of Hollywood's greats.Gene Hackman's impact on the film industry is immeasurable. His unique ability to seamlessly transition from villainous roles to heroic ones made him a favorite of directors, who appreciated his dedication to fully embodying every character he portrayed. Whether playing a ruthless criminal, a morally complex anti-hero, or an unlikely hero, Hackman brought an authenticity and humanity to his roles that resonated with audiences for years.Throughout his career, Hackman earned two Academy Awards, five Golden Globe Awards, and countless other accolades. But what truly set him apart was his ability to make even minor roles memorable. Hackman's performances were never about star power—they were about the story, the character, and his unwavering commitment to bringing them to life in a truthful way. His collaborations with some of Hollywood's most renowned directors, including William Friedkin, Francis Ford Coppola, and Clint Eastwood, further cemented his reputation as one of the finest actors of his generation.In 2004, after an illustrious career, Gene Hackman announced his retirement from acting. He had long been a beloved figure in Hollywood, and his decision to step away from the spotlight was met with a mixture of respect and sadness from fans and colleagues alike. After his retirement, Hackman largely withdrew from public life, opting to live quietly with his family. He pursued writing, publishing novels, but remained largely out of the media's gaze.This transition marked the end of an era for many fans who had grown accustomed to seeing Hackman on the big screen.

Join George Thomas, the acclaimed film critic from the Akron Beacon Journal, as he dives deep into two of the most exciting new movie releases in this in-depth podcast review. In today's episode, George unpacks the thrills, twists, and cinematic nuances of two contrasting films that are making waves on the big screen and streaming platforms.Novocaine Movie Review – A Unique Premise with a C+ RatingGeorge kicks off his review with Novocaine, an action-packed adventure that stars Jack Quaid as a man with a rare condition—he cannot feel pain. This extraordinary premise sets the stage for a high-octane journey where physical invulnerability meets a world of dangerous exploits. George explores how the film leverages this unique concept to deliver exhilarating action sequences and edge-of-your-seat moments.

Ultimately, Novocaine earns a C+ rating from George—a nod to its bold ideas tempered by narrative shortcomings. If you're a fan of offbeat action-adventures that push genre boundaries, this film offers plenty of entertainment, even if it might not become a lasting classic.Black Bag Movie Review – A Must-See Spy Thriller with an A- RatingNext, George shifts gears to review Black Bag, a taut and dialogue-driven spy thriller helmed by legendary director Steven Soderbergh. Starring powerhouse performances from Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett, Black Bag is a masterclass in suspense and cinematic storytelling. George delves into the film's intricate screenplay, praising its clever plot twists and sharp dialogue that keep you guessing at every turn. With its atmospheric tension and sophisticated narrative, Black Bag is awarded an A- rating—a testament to its quality and the skillful direction of Soderbergh. The review also highlights how the film fits into Soderbergh's storied career, drawing interesting comparisons with other auteurs like Darren Aronofsky, and underlining the director's ability to craft films that both entertain and provoke thoughtful reflection.Additional Movie Mentions: Mickey 17 & Dope ThiefIn this episode, George doesn't stop at just two films. He also offers brief insights into Mickey 17 and the new Apple TV+ series Dope Thief, adding them to the ever-growing list of fresh, innovative releases capturing the attention of cinephiles.
