You Might Want to Pick Woody Harrelson For Your Adult Kickball Team.

Hey, I'm not trying to jock up the joint over here. This is a pop culture website, not a sports blog. So I'll spare you the details about why you should be watching the World Cup even if you're not a sports fan (sanctioned daytime drinking and several shirtless menfolk, for starters). But I wouldn't be your friend if I didn't show you this pop culture/sports crossover moment of glory, surprisingly courtesy of a star of film and television. Seriously, in terms of sports, this is, like, better than Rudy.

The Bad Moms Club Still Doesn't Know How To Solve A Rubik's Cube

 But this freaking 3 year old does. Suddenly I feel very, very stupid. Oh man, just watch the video.

Among Canadian hipsters, there's a new craze burgeoning fast on the heels of burlesque: STRIP SPELLING BEES. Crazy Canucks.

 Today's Flashback is brought to you by milk caps and childhood gambling.

Saw a kid outside playing with Pogs. I didn't think they still made the blasted things. But then I got to thinking.

 Yes, the second Mario game that no one likes. Except for me.

A shocking new statewide survey conducted by regional, Indiana television station WTHR13, has uncovered what appears to be, widespread incidents of Nut Slapping, gone awry.

FREEZE! DROP THE MOUSE! STEP AWAY FROM THE RED X!

Because you're busted. You're on the internet. Caught red-handed. Stop lying. It makes you look stupid. This post is on the internet. Cyber entrapment? Maybe. But you're here nonetheless. Back in the webs, little fly.

Do you see the picture above? The internet emits addictive rays that addict you in addiction. And yet here you are, thinking it'll never happen to you.

After the jump, print this out and get off the internet, you weak-willed slave who lacks moral fiber.

There's a reason HBO is an essential part of modern life: because they consistently produce some of the most compelling television on television. If you've read this site before - like, uh... ever - you're well aware that Team MamaPop brings some big love to the good people at HBO with great regularity, notwithstanding the current inexplicable infatuation with rovampic melodrama.

Their expertise extends beyond fiction, however — as the just-started new season of Hard Knocks makes abundantly clear. As has been the case in previous seasons, this five-week documentary follows the strange and immensely fascinating world of preseason NFL training camps in a unique marriage of documentary, reality TV and sports drama that transcends the appeal of professional football to create a truly compelling on-screen experience.

Crappin. You. Negative. American Gladiators, the gold standard of spandex and foam and jousting and steroids, is going to be adapted into a full-length feature film.

I love to support independent films and sure other people might call me a hero, and I would totally understand why, but I'm not in this for the glory, I'm in it for the fortune, obviously... so here's the point...ready? The first full trailer for Oneechanbara Vortex has been released and it looks to have captured the subtle eroticism and hidden mystique of the first two Oneechanbara films with aplomb. The carefully interwoven narrative that accentuates the inherent beauty of female bonding and camaraderie coupled with the nuanced social commentary in which Japan analyzes how it's zombie-filled future will mesh with it's feudal past. It is a hard-cutting investigation into how dressing in a sailor suit is the best possible solution to any problem.

Or maybe it's a bunch of scantily clad Asian women chopping up zombies with samurai swords. And if you think that's gross and sexist, than you are probably a racist, and everyone knows that racism is way worse than alleged sexism that you can't even prove, and also I bet you hate foreign films because you don't like to read subtitles and maybe you should just go home and watch a Larry The Cable Guy Movie instead. What? I'm not being defensive. YOU'RE being defensive.
