New merch line from Eminem

Eminem has dropped a surprise range of new merch, including collectible action figures and all-black clothing. There are hoodies and T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase “Mom’s Spaghetti”, which is both an iconic lyric from his song “Lose Yourself”, and the name of the restaurant he owns in his hometown of Detroit.

There are three different Eminem action figures. The figurines and apparel can be found via Eminem’s website, but most items have already sold out.


Turning Red’s trailer decodes panda transformation

Young teenager Mei Lee discovers why she can transform into a red panda in the new trailer for Disney and Pixar’s upcoming animated movie, Turning Red.

Mei (voiced by Rosalie Chiang) is an accomplished student until she wakes up as a giant red panda in the clip released recently. Mei’s ancestors had a mystical connection with red pandas with the ability to transform running in their family.

Mei tries to continue living her life normally with her new ability, with transformations happening whenever she feels too excited or stressed.

The trailer ends with Mei getting made fun of by another student during a game of dodgeball. Mei’s arm transforms, allowing her to powerfully throw the dodgeball.

Turning Red directed by Domee Shi (Bao), is coming to theatres on March 11.


Clifford the Big Red Dog getting a sequel

The family adventure, Clifford the Big Red Dog, is getting a big-screen sequel, though no casting, release date or plot details have been disclosed yet.

Inspired by Norman Bridwell’s children’s book series, the first movie was about young New Yorker Emily (Darby Camp), whose tiny puppy grows to be 10 feet tall overnight.

The film has recently been released simultaneously on Paramount+ and in North American theatres, where it earned $22 million in its first five days.
