Smackdown Live! is in the books for the week. The Blue Brand of the WWE is building up towards the Royal Rumble with their brand specific storylines. We saw the first WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship Cage Match as well as a special edition of The King’s Court with Jerry The King Lawler. How did the show hold up this week?
The show opened with the announcement from Shane McMahon that at the next Smackdown specific Pay Per View event Elimination Chamber, the WWE Championship will be defended by whomever the WWE Champion is at that point. A simple announcement but something the WWE has not been doing consistently as of late, promoting their events properly. We saw Aj Styles come out and complain that he would have to defend his title in the Chamber match with Shane reminding him that he may not have the title after his...

Before gymnasts Simone Biles and Aly Raisman, Og Olympic Bff's Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte gave us friendship goals. While some may argue they are more frienemies than bros, we've got photographic proof they enjoy each other's company. One Canadian announcer even confused the two swimmers, accidentally proclaiming, "Ryan Lochte is going to beat Michael Phelps in this event in the games, and Phelps might not even make the podium!" Oops! It's probably a lot easier to tell the two apart when Ryan takes off his swim cap. Anyhoo, the two of them look like they've been having a great time in Rio, despite having to compete against one another. This may be the last time we see the two of them together in...

As always, if you peer beyond the immediately buzzy movies and starry attractions of any film festival slate, you're bound to find some fascinating films, and "This May Be The Last Time" is just such an example. Premiering at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, the documentary has quietly played the circuit in the months since, but now it's getting ready for home viewing release, promising an intriguing story that touches on American history and music. Directed by Sterlin Harjo ("Four Sheets to the Wind," "Barking Water"), the film tells the filmmaker's own story of the disappearance of his grandfather in 1962 Oklahoma, with the investigation leading him to explore the history of the songs the Seminole people sang at the time. The songs go back hundreds of years, uniting Native American communities during times of worship, joy, tragedy, and hope. And as you'll see in this exclusive trailer, these...
