Month: June 2026

The Canadian Screen Awards turned into a “Ballroom Blitz” when Wayne’s World co-stars Mike Myers and Tia Carrere reunited on Sunday night in Toronto. 

The pair, who starred opposite Dana Carvey in the original 1992 film and its 1993 sequel, were photographed together at the event, where Myers was honored with the Icon Award. 

It was Carrere herself who gave fans their only look at the two at the ceremony, held 34 years after their on-screen romance began.

Taking to her Instagram page on Monday, June 1, Carrere shared a number of videos and photos from her night out in Canada. The very first video in her carousel showed her alongside Myers. 

While Myers, 63, looked sharp in a suit—still rocking that white hair—59-year-old Carrere stunned in a red Narces dress reminiscent of the one her character, Cassandra Wong, famously wore in the first movie. 

We’re not worthy!

“What a perfect night honoring @mikemyers receiving his @thecdnacademy #icon award,” she captioned the post. “Host @andrewphung you’re the best! Met and reconnected with so many lovely Canadian talents, some I worked with on Relic Hunter when I lived here. Oh Canada!🇨🇦”

During the ceremony, the Ontario native was celebrated with this year’s Icon Award.

“I had a whole speech written about how much I love Canada, but I suspect some of you might be sick of hearing that at this point,” Myers said during his speech, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

In an emotional moment, he also thanked his parents “for moving to Canada and stressing the importance of being silly,” before shouting out some of his Canadian collaborators, including Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, John Candy, and Eugene Levy.   

“I want to thank the Canadian taxpayer. I really do, actually, because I always say to my American friends, I had a big ally in my hand,” he added. “I have 40 million people behind me.”

In the comments of The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television’s post of his speech, Carrere added, “CONGRATULATIONS ICON! Thank you for making all the rest of my career possible! So happy to be there tonight to honor you!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾”

Will We Get a Wayne’s World 3?

While Myers has been mum on making a third Wayne’s World movie, co-stars Carvey and Carrere have both said they’d do it in a heartbeat.

In 2023, when asked whether Wayne’s World 3 was a possibility, Carvey told PEOPLE, “Yes, it is. I don’t know. Maybe we’ll do it in puppets. I’m not sure.”

He added, “I’m always game. Love Mike Myers. Just a brilliant guy.”

In 2025, meanwhile, Carrere was asked the same question during an appearance on Good Morning America. 

“I’m open to it…I think Bill and Ted should meet Wayne and Garth, to see what happens between the two of them,” she quipped at the time.

The film’s cast and crew have gotten the band back together again quite a few times in the almost 35 years since the first movie was released. 

In 2021, Myers and Carvey reprised their roles as Wayne and Garth for an Uber Eats Super Bowl commercial also featuring Cardi B (above). 

A year before that, in 2020, most of the film’s cast appeared on Josh Gad’s virtual Reunited Apart series, which he released during Covid lockdown (below).

Why It’s a Good Deal

REI’s Anniversary Sale may have wrapped up, but the retailer has kept some of the deals on electric bikes, camping gear, fitness watches, and more live. Many of the styles are from REI’s in-house brand, and one that was very popular during the actual sale was this bestselling fleece jacket, which is still showing a half-off discount.

The REI Co-op Flash Hyperstretch Fleece Jacket is still selling for as low as $50. This jacket is on sale in REI Red, and you can order it in sizes small up to 3XL. REI has developed a fanbase for its in-house gear, and they seem to love this—it’s been awarded a “Top-Rated” badge and has a very healthy 4.6-star rating after amassing nearly four dozen glowing reviews.

REI Co-op Flash Hyperstretch Fleece Jacket, From $50 (was $100) at REI

What to Know Before Buying

• Material: Fleece (recycled polyester, nylon, spandex)
• Hood: Included—scuba style
• Weight: 13 ounces
• Special Features: Windflap behind zipper, hem drawcord, raglan sleeves
• Best For: Hiking, running, snowsports (mid-layer)

You can tell from the name alone that the Flash Hyperstretch Fleece Jacket is built for rigorous movement. The secret ingredient is the fabric: It’s made from a blend of recycled polyester, nylon, and spandex, which gives the jacket solid durability and enough stretch to move with you.

The interior of the jacket has a fleece texture for a really comfortable feel that’ll keep you feeling cozy, regardless of the weather. A wind flap behind the main zipper, elastic cuffs, and a drawcord hem keep cold breezes at bay, and the scuba-style hood has an elasticated edge and a snug fit to keep it from blowing off your head in windy conditions.

What Shoppers Are Saying

One REI shopper called the Flash Hyperstretch “totally comfortable,” and another said it’s “the best jacket that I ever had.”

A third reviewer called it “sharp looking and functional,” adding how much they loved that “it’s soft and warm and a just-right fit on the wrists and hood.”

Just $50 for a warm, stretchy, super comfortable jacket from a respected brand like REI? You don’t need us to tell you the Flash Hyperstretch Fleece is an amazing deal. Unfortunately, it’s only on sale in a single colorway, and that might mean there isn’t much stock—nab yours ASAP before your size sells out.

Whether you’re trying to lean out, bulk up, or just hit your daily macros, meal prep is the ultimate cheat code for nutritional consistency. We’ve all seen the options, from the viral ground beef and cottage cheese bowls that took over the internet to the classic chicken and rice containers bodybuilders have sworn by for decades. But while the concept is great, the execution is where most guys fail.

Between time constraints, zero motivation, and decision fatigue, actually making the food can feel like a chore. To help you get over the hump, we asked professional chefs and meal prep pros to share their best hacks for making batch cooking effortless.

5 Master Hacks to Streamline Your Meal Prep

Ditch the Weekend Marathon (and Split Your Sessions)

Meal prep is often pictured as a massive, grueling marathon session that kills your entire Sunday afternoon, but it doesn’t have to be. If you don’t have a massive block of weekend time to dedicate to the kitchen, the secret is simply splitting your cooking across different days of the week.

“The biggest barriers I see are time, overwhelm, and the belief that meal prep has to be all-or-nothing,” says Nick Quintero, founder of Meal Prep on Fleek. “A lot of people think they need to prep every single meal or spend their entire Sunday in the kitchen, which just isn’t realistic.”

Instead of treating it like an absolute ordeal, break the schedule down to fit your life. If taking a few hours on a Tuesday evening to prep your mid-week lunches relieves the pressure, do that. The best routine is the one that aligns with your calendar.

“Even preparing just two or three meals ahead of time can make your week feel significantly easier,” Quintero adds.

Shop with Ingredient Overlap to Slash Costs and Waste

Toby Amidor, MS, RD, a Wall Street Journal bestselling cookbook author, suggests building your grocery list at home so you can check your pantry inventory before heading out.

Quintero agrees, adding that shopping with intention and choosing recipes with overlapping ingredients is a recipe for success. Think about buying grilled chicken for taco bowls, then using the leftovers for quesadillas the next night. Or, bake extra potatoes for dinner and turn the leftovers into a breakfast hash the next morning. Even a versatile, protein-packed staple like Greek yogurt can pull double duty in overnight oats and as a base for homemade tzatziki sauce.

To streamline the trip even further, organize your shopping list by grocery store section so you aren’t backtracking down the aisles. If you would rather avoid the store altogether, consider a grocery delivery service where you can easily compare prices to save cash. However you decide to procure your food, Quintero recommends leaving a little wiggle room on the page.

“Allow yourself one impulse buy so you don’t feel restricted,” he says.

Bulk-Cook Your Carb and Protein Bases

It takes just as long to make one serving of rice or roasted potatoes as it does to make ten. Prepping base ingredients in large quantities is a massive time saver. Chef, author, and food photographer, Sara Haas, RDN, LDN, makes weekly batches of grains and beans—an electric pressure cooker works wonders for this—so there are always effortless additions ready to go.

“I can easily use them throughout the week to throw on salads, into tacos, or in bowl-style meals,” Haas says. “Any extra can be frozen and thawed for later use.”

Build a 3-Meal Recipe Rotation

Figuring out what to cook can be the hardest part of meal prep, but you don’t need to reinvent the wheel every week. To manage the endless options, start by leaning into a few reliable classics.

“I recommend starting with a small rotation of go-to meals you already know you enjoy, then building from there,” says Quintero. Once you are ready to branch out, tap into digital resources, but do it with a strategy.

“Blogs like Workweek Lunch and Meal Prep on Fleek focus on approachable recipes that are designed to work as leftovers, which makes a big difference,” he adds. “You can also use platforms like Pinterest or Instagram, but do it with intention. Look for recipes with 10 ingredients or [fewer] that make multiple servings. That’s where meal prep really becomes sustainable.”

And don’t forget about cookbooks. Whether you opt for Kindle versions or prefer going analog by flipping through physical pages, look for high-performance titles like Fit Men Cook or The Fighter’s Kitchen. If you have specific nutritional goals, consider specialty titles like DASH Diet Meal Prep for Beginners or Anti-Inflammatory Diet Meal Prep to keep your health targets locked in.

Master the Mini-Prep

Meal prep doesn’t require full meals! Consider prepping ingredients that tend to be a little more labor-intensive as soon as you get them home from the store–the meal prep version of set it and forget it. This can be chicken breasts tossed in a marinade or defrosting and peeling frozen shrimp. Mini prep is also a great strategy for fruits and vegetables. 

“When I get home from the store, I take the time to prep any veggies,” shares registered dietitian and exercise physiologist, Dr. Chris Mohr. “Pulling together a salad, side veggie, or just eating them for snacking is a lot more likely when they’re already done.”

Amidor also encourages meal preppers to pay attention to cook times on any desired recipe. “Start preparing recipes that take 20 minutes or longer,” she says. “When those are cooking, you can whip up shorter recipes like dressings or sides.”

December 8, 2024, was the last time NFL fans saw veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. take to the field, while playing for the Miami Dolphins. As talented as the 33-year-old is, he spent the 2025-2026 season sidelined after ESPN noted he “accepted a six-game suspension for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.” After serving his time out of commission, he’s been eyeing a return to the league, and in a touching story, his comeback sees him reunite with the New York Giants. 

Early on the morning of June 1, reports began to circulate that Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Braxton Berrios were all working out with the Giants, each vying to become the veteran wide receiver the team was looking for to fill out their roster. However, it was only hours later that follow-up stories emerged, revealing that the Giants had picked up Berrios. While many assumed that meant OBJ was out of contention, that turned out not to be the case. The Giants officially announced his return on their social media just after noon on the East Coast. Beckham and the team agreed to a one-year deal.  

OBJ’s Second Chance with Giants Comes with a Lot of High Stakes

Football fans know OBJ was drafted by the Giants in 2014 and stayed with the team for roughly four years. By 2018, his relationship soured with personnel within the organization, in particular, the coaching staff. As reported on the NFL website, OBJ once stated: 

“I felt betrayed in a sense that this coach had tried to turn me against my brothers and my people. [The coach]  was telling the young guys to stay away from me because I’m not a good person or not a good (team player) or not a good role model, this and that.” 

However, despite the tension, OBJ has maintained for years he never wanted to leave. He even told the New York Post, “‘It’s a place[New York] I never wanted to leave. And it’s just a special place in my heart.” Additionally, he’s always maintained that he wanted to help bring a Super Bowl championship to New York. 

So part of OBJ’s reunion faces a lot of eyes with people wondering if he and the Giants can really let bygones be bygones, and wipe the slate clean. While it takes two to tango, most eyes will fall on him in this regard and the Giants picking him up now signals they are ready to turn the page. 

OBJ is also likely to face a lot of scrutiny again, stemming from his suspension and time out of the league. When you add his age to the consideration, there will be plenty of people speculating if he’s “still got it.” And he’s likely to have fewer opportunities to prove he has gas in the tank with him probably not being the first wide receiver option on the roster with the Giants’ Malik Nabers now as the team’s star in that position. 

On a final note, with OBJ maintaining his goal of wanting to bring a championship to New York, he’s on a time crunch. Once more, he’s only signed a one-year deal with the Giants and he’s racing against Father Time. So can the Giants get it done in this next season? As a fan of OBJ, I certainly hope so.

To start off June, Netflix has added more than 50 popular movies to its library, including multiple sports films.

One of the offerings now available to streamers is 1993’s Rookie of the Year, a feelgood flick that has turned up on multiple lists of the greatest baseball movies of all time. Currently, the movie is only available to subscribers on Netflix and Disney+, though it can be purchased on several other platforms.

What to know about Rookie of the Year

First of all, a fair warning. If you’re looking for realistic baseball action and storylines, you can probably skip Rookie of the Year, assuming you’ve never seen it before.

The Daniel Stern-directed sports comedy tells the story of Henry Rowengartner, played by Thomas Ian Nicholas, a Little Leaguer of meager ability who can suddenly throw 100 miles per hour after breaking his arm.

Blessed with this astounding newfound talent, Rowengartner goes on to realize his dream of pitching in Major Leagues for the Chicago Cubs. He and his mother, played by Amy Morton, face their share of trials throughout the 103-minute long film, but everyone winds up with a happy ending.

In addition to Nicholas and Morton, Gary Busey delivers a memorable performance as aging Cubs pitcher Chet “Rocket” Steadman, with Stern providing comic relief as zany pitching coach Phil Brickma (“HOT ICE!”).

Albert Hall stars as manager Sal Martinella, with Dan Hedaya playing Cubs GM Larry “Fish” Fisher, Eddie Bracken serving as team owner Bob Carson and Bruce Altman portraying shady sports agent Jack Bradfield.

MLB stars Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla and Pedro Guerrero all appear as themselves, and there’s even a cameo from John Candy.

Rookie of the Year‘s impact 33 years after its release

The film corralled $56.5 million at the box office and drew mixed reviews from critics, some of whom praised its pie-in-the-sky plot while others thought it was too hokey. Rookie of the Year also owns only a 41% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 6.1/10 mark on IMDb.

Still, there’s no denying its staying power. Writer Will Leitch ranked it the 20th best baseball movie ever in 2023, and at least one person thinks it deserves the No. 1 spot on that list.

If you’re looking to just reminisce about your childhood or introduce a fun baseball movie to a kid in your life, you can certainly do worse than Rookie of the Year.

The power of Grayskull has returned. With the debut of Masters of the Universeon June 5, 2026, the over-the-top sword and sorcery franchise that began in the 1980s is making a surprising comeback. Just when you might have heard nostalgia is dead, He-Man comes back swinging!

But how much do you really know about He-Man? Would you believe there have actually been no fewer than five TV versions of Masters of the Universe prior to the new live-action film? Here’s where to watch every version of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe right now, along with the good news that nearly every He-Man is streaming for free at the moment.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (1983-1985)

Brace yourselves, fellow elder millennials: The original He-Man cartoon only ran for two seasons. And, technically, it ended in 1984. We’re listing 1985 as its endpoint here because two special standalone movies featuring He-Man aired in 1985: He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword, and He-Man and She-Ra: A Christmas Special. But the core series, which ran for 130 episodes total (65 episodes each season!), began on September 30, 1983, and ran until December 7, 1984.

While there are several DVD and Blu-ray box sets, you can currently stream Masters of the Universe in several places. Here are your best bets:

• Prime Video has both seasons, complete.
• Tubi has both seasons, complete.
• YouTube: There’s an official Masters of the Universe YouTube channel, which has several full episodes as well as various episode compilations.

As of this writing, He-Man and She-Ra: The Secret of the Sword is only available on YouTube.

Masters of the Universe (1987 film)

Although it could be argued that He-Man was already past his prime in 1987, the feature film starring Dolph Lundgren has become a cult classic. While the 1987 movie reimagined several aspects of the He-Man mythos for live-action, the movie was still charming and old-fashioned, even for its time. That said, the new Masters of the Universe film, with its incredible color palette, will likely scan as a more upbeat, less muted He-Man, at least when compared side-by-side.

The 1987 Masters of the Universe is streaming on Tubi, Pluto, and YouTube.

The New Adventures of He-Man (1990)

This is the He-Man that time forgot! After the heyday of He-Man in the 19890s, and three years after the live-action feature film, Mattel attempted to reboot He-Man entirely by sending him into the distant future. While technically set in the same continuity of the first animated series, The New Adventures of He-Man had a bit more of a Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon flair, combined with a strange early 90s sensibility for action heroes. In other words, this is the one where He-Man has a ponytail.

You can watch several episodes of The New Adventures of He-Manon YouTube for free, and others are available for rental on that platform, Prime Video and Fandango at Home.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002)

This series was a full-on reboot, which ran on Cartoon Network/Toonami from 2002 to 2004. This series took a slightly more serious tone than previous versions, though it did bring back a few key writers from the original series. The most notable thing about this take on He-Man is that we get a more detailed backstory of Skeletor from this series, in which we learn he was once a person named “Keldor.” There’s a lot to love about this version of Masters of the Universe, and it might be the most underrated version in the bunch.

The 2002-2004 Masters of the Universe streams for free on Plex.

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021–2022)

Strangely enough, starting in 2021, there were two He-Man animated TV series airing at the same time. The first was this, an oddly lesser-known show, which is a family-friendly remake of Masters of the Universe, rendered in a modern 3D animated style. If you’re looking for something that feels new, strictly for the kids, this He-Man checks that box.

The 2021 version of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe streams on Netflix.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021–2024)

Produced by Kevin Smith, Masters of the Universe: Revelation approached the original Filmation cartoon as direct source material and then attempted to craft a serious fantasy narrative on that foundation. The results are, arguably, the best He-Man series to date, with an amazing cast (Mark Hamill as Skeletor! Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela!) and a blend of newer animation and older styles. The first two parts of this Netflix series are called Revelation, and initially, deal with He-Man’s disappearance. The final part of the series is called Masters of the Universe: Revolution. But, to be clear, these are all part of the same series.

Masters of the Universe: Revelation/Revolution streams on Netflix.

The new He-Man movie, Masters of the Universe, starring Nicholas Galitzine as the man with the sword, hits theaters on June 5, 2026.

A beloved Times Square restaurant is closing its doors after 23 years, and it’s part of a chain’s decision to shrink its footprint throughout the United States. However, a number of reasons were given for the closure, including construction at the restaurant’s building.

Still the closure caught attention because Times Square appears to be a prime location for a restaurant.

The restaurant is Red Lobster. According to Fox Business, the restaurant, which is located at 5 Times Square, “is scheduled to close June 14, ending a high-profile presence the seafood chain has maintained in the heart of Manhattan since 2003.”

“We are grateful to the team members and guests who have made this restaurant special over the years,” the company said, according to Fox Business.

Why is Red Lobster Closing Its Times Square Restaurant?

What drove the decision to close the restaurant in such a high-traffic area? It turns out that changes to the building drove the decision.

Fox Business said the chain cited “extensive and prolonged construction at the building” that “has significantly impacted access, visibility and foot traffic at the restaurant.”

In addition, the company listed “the property’s planned conversion to residential use, saying continued operations at the location were no longer viable.”

Red Lobster released a lengthy statement about the closure to ABC7: “Times Square has been an important chapter in Red Lobster’s history, and this was a difficult decision. Extensive and prolonged construction at the building has significantly impacted access, visibility, and foot traffic at this restaurant. Given those conditions, along with the building’s planned conversion to residential use, continuing to operate at this location was no longer viable. We are grateful to the team members and guests who have made this restaurant special over the years. All team members are being offered the opportunity to be transferred to the Red Lobster location of their choice and to receive additional pay to support them through this transition.”

The move comes as Red Lobster announced it was also closing its oldest location, which is located in Tallahassee, FL.

Red Lobster Has Been Dealing With a Bankruptcy & Other Issues Recently

Red Lobster’s CEO Damola Adamolekun revealed the chain will be reducing its footprint nationwide, telling The Wall Street Journalin February that the chain “needed to get smaller.”

In a 2024 court filing made in a bankruptcy action, Red Lobster said, “the Debtors currently operate more than 530 casual seafood restaurants primarily located across the United States and Canada with nearly 36,000 employees.” The motion revealed the chain was planning to close 23 more locations.

Last year, a federal judge approved the chain’s reorganization plan, CBS News reported. Why did Red Lobster file for bankruptcy? The filing came “following years of mounting losses and dwindling customers while it struggled to keep up with competitors,” CBS News reported. According to CBS News, Red Lobster decided to reduce its footprint to “simplify the business.”

Red Lobster has been shrinking its footprint for some time.

TODAY noted in 2024 that Red Lobster closed 83 locations.

The chain’s remaining restaurants can be found on its locator map.
