The Rewind: ‘Glass’ Comes With A ‘Trigger Warning’

Source: iOne Digital, The Rewind / IOne Digital Video Landon Levarius and DJ Franchise return with another week of your favorite series, Global Grind’s “The Rewind”. Like we always do at this time, we’re giving you your much-needed dose of recap reality. Every week we revisit some of the pop culture trends, movies, viral moments and music from the week before and give our hot takes. Our experts Landon Lavarius and DJ Franchise share their opinions, sprinkle in some facts and then when it’s all over and done with, provide a rating of 1 to 10. We listen to the songs, watch the movies, scour the internet, and do the hard work so you don’t have to. This week, Landon and Franchise will be discussing the M. Night Shyamalan flick, Glass . The film is a sequel to the previous movies,  Unbreakable , which came out in 2000, and Split , which was released in 2016. It stars Bruce Willis, Samuel L. Jackson and of course, James McAvoy, who reprises his role as Kevin Wendell Crumb and the multiple identities who reside within. Glass hit theaters on January 18, 2019, and was met with mixed reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gave it a mere 36% score while IMDB was more forgiving with a 7 out of 10 rating. Landon Levarius and DJ Franchise got to check out the movie and rate it for themselves. Knowing what you know about how hard these two are to please, what do you think they thought of Glass ? Landon Levarius and DJ Franchise also dig into the new Netflix series, Trigger Warning , hosted by Killer Mike. Trigger Warning hit the Netflix platform on January 18 as well. On the show, the Atlanta native uses various scenarios to confront important social issues and cultural taboos. The first season of the show is six episodes long and has already picked up steam on social media. An episode in which Killer Mike teaches a young grade school student about white privilege quickly went viral just hours after Trigger Warning was available for streaming on Netflix. Killer Mike uses nontraditional approaches to explore the human condition and examine the “what ifs” and “why nots” that limit how people operate in the world. Social media is already fascinated with the show but do you think Landon Levarius and DJ Franchise were feeling it? Our resident critics share their thoughts on the new show and let us know whether or not it’s worth the hype. Find out what they rated these topics and more when you press play on episode 29 of The Rewind up above.

Lindsey Nicholson to Appear on Teen Mom 2: Is She Replacing a Fired Cast Member?

If you’re a longtime fan of the Teen Mom franchise, you may remember the name Lindsey Nicholson. Lyndsey was a fan favorite on 16 and Pregnant , but she was passed over for the majors and never made the leap to Teen Mom fame. Prior to the casting of Briana DeJesus , MTV and Viacom reached out to several former 16 and Pregnant stars. When they reached their final decision, Lindsey and others, like Mackenzie McKee were left to assume they didn’t get the gig. Now that the network went outside of the franchise to cast Bristol Palin and Cheyenne Floyd on Teen Mom OG , it looks like Lindsey will never get a chance to return to the series full-time. She is, however, scheduled to make an appearance on Teen Mom 2 this season. Lindsey has remained friends with Kailyn Lowry, and she was on hand for the launch of Lowry’s Pothead haircare line last week. In a recent interview with Radar Online, Lindsey confirmed that the event was filmed for the show. “We were all there,” she said of Lowry’s Pothead hair care in NYC. “It was mostly following up on something they’re going to put in Kail’s season.” The news that Lindsey was once again filming with MTV led to rumors that she would be returning to the franchise, possibly to replace a departing TM2 cast member. That’s not the case, however, which is a shame — as Lindsey has quite a story to tell. Nicholson gave birth to twins Jackson and Paisley when she was just 29 weeks pregnant, and the boys spent several weeks in the NICU. “No one talks about it,” she told Radar. “It is so hard. My goal in the next few years … I would love to be able to go and speak and share our story. “I was one of the girls they reached out to,” Nicholson explains of her experience with almost getting cast in TM2. “When they called we weren’t even pregnant. I was working at a dentist office. My life was so boring.  According to Lindsey, passing her over is the network’s loss. “But they missed out everything we went through with the twins,” she says. Hopefully, we’ll get to hear more of Lindsey’s story soon. View Slideshow: 16 and Pregnant Stars: Where Are They Now?

Khloe Kardashian Will Spend Thanksgiving With Tristan Thompson, Continue to Disappoint Fans

Folks, if you’re still holding onto a shred of hope that Khloe Kardashian will dump Tristan Thompson , it may be time to give that up. Despite the fact that Tristan was caught cheating on Khloe will she was pregnant with his child, it looks like these two are gonna ride this thing out. For a while there, it looked as though Khloe was dropping hints about kicking her unfaithful baby daddy to the curb. These days, however, it’s more apparent than ever that these two are planning to stick it out. In fact, TMZ is reporting that Khloe will travel to Cleveland next week to spend Thanksgiving with Tristan and his family. Obviously, spending Thanksgiving with your significant other’s loved ones is a solid indication that you’re in a committed relationship. But spending Thanksgiving in Cleveland — well, that’s next level. Khloe had the option of chillin’ on the beach in Calabasas, and instead, she’s slogging off to the shores of beautiful Lake Erie. And it you don’t live in the Northeast or Midwest, then you might not be aware of it, but winter came early this year. We’re sure Khloe has all kinds of fashionable attire for colder climates, but we’re also sure she’d prefer to be at home, raking in a nice payday for hanging out with her sisters in the presence of an E! camera crew. Of course, True’s mama might be accustomed to the frigid temps by now. After all, Khloe has been spending quite a bit of time in Cleveland lately. She’s attended several recent Cavs home games, and her presence seems to be having a positive effect on Tristan. Thompson has been killing it on the court lately and looked especially dominant in his team’s win over Charlotte Tuesday night. So in the end, it looks like everything is coming up roses for Khloe and Tristan. Of course, it’s still very early in the NBA season. Tristan has a lot of away games ahead of him. Which means lots of time away from Khloe … and lots of opportunities to cheat. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Why She SHOULD Leave Tristan Thompson, But Never Will
