We all have workplace issues to deal with, but at least the IT guy isn’t filming an action TV show featuring him fighting off villains with guns — lots of guns — in the office. That’s the premise of a new series from CollegeHumor, which has created a scripted remake of its 2008 web series Fatal Decision. The new show will only be available on Verizon’s free mobile go90 streaming video app (available on iOS and Android).

There are 52 slated episodes of the Zach Reino-starring series produced by CollegeHumor’s Big Breakfast team, according to Variety. The show, which had its soft launch last week, will post new episodes on the mobile streamer each Wednesday.

“Fatal Decision, which is loosely based on the CollegeHumor web series of the same name, is the ultimate movie within a movie,” said CollegeHumor head of video Sam Reich in a statement. “We hope that audiences get invested both in the story—that of Josh Mullen, trying to make an action series—and the story within the story—that of Jack Maxwell, unstoppable action hero.”

The go90 exclusive is part of CollegeHumor’s deal to post ten new clips to the mobile streamer each month. Variety does note that, while CollegeHumor syndicates to partners like Vessel, Conde Nast Entertainment, and Samsung, most of the entertainment entity’s video audience remains on YouTube. “While CollegeHumor has been fortunate to pursue a variety of distribution opportunities, YouTube remains at the core with a primary AVOD window going to that platform,” said CollegeHumor general manager Shane Rahmani to the industry publication.

go90 launched as a mobile-only free video service aimed at millennials in October. Its catalog of 8,000 TV episodes and clips include more than 35 exclusive series with content from AwesomenessTV, Vice, and Endemol Beyond USA. The streamer also recently inked a deal to bring a limited number of live NBA games mobile phones for free.

Logo for WWE Backlash France.

A WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) is heading to Lyon Metropolis for the first time for WWE Backlash France 2024. Since the formation of TKO in September 2023, WWE has prioritized global expansion. In 2024, Backlash France is the second PLE to be held outside the U.S., and it won't be the last. Five of the next six WWE PLEs will take place outside the U.S.

Heading into Backlash, WWE is entering the "American Nightmare Era." After finishing his story at WrestleMania 40, Cody Rhodes is now the Undisputed WWE Champion. A different era means a new crop of challengers for Rhodes. First up is AJ Styles, a former two-time WWE champion. Rhodes must bring his A-game if he wants to walk out of France as champion.

If you have to watch one Star Wars movie this May the 4th, stream this one
Luke looking off into the binary sunset before dying in The Last Jedi.

Every Star Wars fan has a favorite movie, and many Star Wars fans also hate at least one of the entries in one of their favorite franchises. That can make the exercise of choosing the perfect Star Wars movie to watch on May the 4th difficult. For all of the love this fan base has shown to the franchise over the years, it's also a fan base that has strong opinions about why one movie or another is worthy of your time.

This May 4, though, I'd recommend watching Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Almost undoubtedly the most controversial entry in the saga, one that makes some people furious and others jump for joy, The Last Jedi is worthy of your attention, whether you like what it's doing or not. Here are three reasons you should check it out:
