Love him or hate him, the latest promo for Justin Bieber’s forthcoming Comedy Central Roast has something for those at either end of the spectrum. Capturing Bieber in his signature shirtless attire, the promo plays on one of the pop star’s notorious run-ins with the law — specifically his charge of misdemeanor vandalism for egging his neighbor’s house — with a slow motion barrage of eggs to the chest.

The pop singer has had more than his fair share of “alleged” controversy in his 20 years on the planet — spitting at fans, drag racing a Lamborghini while drunk, writing in the registry at Ann Frank’s house that he hoped she’d have been a “Belieber” — making him ripe for a verbal beating. And for those of us who have seen what a witty veteran comic can do in these situations, it’s almost hard not to cringe a bit at the carnage that is sure to occur, even if he does deserve whatever is dished out.

We haven’t yet seen a full cast list for the Roast as of yet, but luckily for the Biebs, his good friend Kevin Hart (who knew, right?) will be Roast Master for the show. Hart’s comedy clout offers a slight chance the cast of characters that step up to the mic will be somewhat kept in check, but it’s probably not likely. The Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber is slated to air March 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.

The Flash director says the film failed because people ‘don’t care’ about the DC hero
Barry Allen runs through the Speed Force in The Flash.

It's been nearly two years since The Flash hit theaters in 2023, and the film remains one of the most infamous bombs in recent comic book movie history. Its director, Andy Muschietti, isn't confused about why the film failed, though. During an interview on Radio Tu’s La Baulera del Coso, Muschietti said that he believes The Flash performed so poorly because it wasn't as widely appealing as everyone, including himself and its producers at Warner Bros. Pictures, hoped it would be.

"The Flash failed, among all the other reasons, because it wasn’t a movie that appealed to all four quadrants. It failed at that,” Muschietti argued. “When you spend $200 million making a movie, [Warner Bros.] wants you to bring even your grandmother to the theaters.”

Sebastian Stan says Thunderbolts is Marvel’s Breakfast Club
Bucky Barnes stands in the desert in Marvel's Thunderbolts.

Marvel Studios may have released only one film last year, but it has three theatrical titles coming in 2025. The movies in question -- February's Captain America: Brave New World, May's Thunderbolts*, and July's The Fantastic Four: First Steps -- all promise to move the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Multiverse Saga forward in their own unique ways. The three also seem very different from each other. Brave New World, for instance, is being marketed as a paranoid political thriller, while Fantastic Four has seemingly adopted a retro-futuristic, '60s-inspired aesthetic.

As for Thunderbolts*, one of the film's stars says that it has more in common with a classic 1980s coming-of-age dramedy than comic book fans may expect. "Thunderbolts* is really interesting because it was so fun, man," Sebastian Stan, who is set to make his MCU return as Bucky Barnes in the forthcoming film, revealed during his recent appearance on Variety's Awards Circuit Podcast. "I'm curious to see how people are going to respond [to it] because the closest [film] that comes [to mind] is that movie The Breakfast Club."

5 years ago, this sci-fi Alien rip-off drowned at the box office. Is it worthy of reappraisal?
The aqua suits in the movie Underwater

Five years ago in January 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic started to make its first headlines, a different kind of disaster arrived in movie theaters: Underwater. The movie starred Kristen Stewart, and based on the trailers, it looked to pay homage to older sci-fi horror classics. Yet Underwater turned out to be a super clunky, visually murky, and ill-paced film about a deep-sea mining station at the bottom of the Mariana Trench that inadvertently wakes up a giant deep-sea monster.

In theory, Underwater should have been enjoyable. Even if it added nothing to the genre and was just a poor homage to Alien, Cloverfield, and The Abyss, it should have been at least derivative fun. But it wasn't, and audiences stayed away from the big-budget film. So what went wrong, and is Underwater worth watching five years later now that it's available to stream at home?
