The Bored Apes Take Manhattan

If you’re not aware of the Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), don’t be ashamed. They’re a members-only group whose entrance fee is an NFT associated with a jpeg of a cartoon primate. And while that last sentence reads like a joke, it is not. There’s a serious cultural movement happening with the club, and recently, they all met up in real life for a week-long Ape Fest. That’s really what it’s called. Ape Fest.  Here’s how it all went down.

The Rise and Fall of Children’s Radio

Radio was never really associated with children. Even when children’s radio was actually a thing. It’s a medium that just never clicked with the kids. And with YouTube and Disney+ in the world now, how can radio compete? As this article will tell you, it probably can’t. But we have an unpopular prediction. Children’s radio will become popular again via the podcast.  Or maybe we’re just suckers for the underdog.

From Crypto to Christie’s: How an Indian Metaverse King Made His Fortune

On January 23, MetaKovan (real name Vignesh Sundaresan) threw a party like no soiree we’ve ever been to. Hundreds of partygoers “arrived” and “drank” champagne and “danced” on a black disco “floor.” Those would all be air-quotes if we were telling you this story IRL. Because no one actually did any of those things. And there wasn’t really a dance floor. Because it all took place virtually.  Before the celebration, Sundaresan had a rocky road to success.

Is Hollywood Running Out of Ideas?

To answer this question, we turn to the most recent example. The Ghostbusters remake. It’s a perfect example of Hollywood’s true secret sauce. Nostalgia. In 2019, all of the highest grossing films were based on existing IPs. Just two decades ago, it was five. But to be honest, we don’t really care. A good remake of a movie is still a good movie. Afterall, we’re talking about entertainment here.  And we’re cool if moviemaking and nostalgia go hand in hand.
