'The Banana Splits Movie' Brings Gore and Unexpected Laughs!



**"WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED ME WITH A FREE COPY OF THE BLU-RAY I REVIEWED IN THE BLOG POST. THE OPINIONS I SHARE ARE MY OWN."**

The Banana Splits are not what they used to be when we were kids so get ready, my friends! I had absolutely no idea what to expect when I put on 'The Banana Splits Movie' but knew from the preview there would be some killer giant stuffed animals who sing. I was not wrong. This film is probably the 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space' of 2019, if it were to be compared to any stellar horr-com B-list film out there...and it's just as unexpectedly funny. This is where TBS truly shines. Harley gets the chance to see his favorite show, The Banana Splits, live for his birthday, along with his mom, dad, and older brother. None of his friends like the show because they think it's for little kids so his mom invites Zoe, who doesn't even like him, to go. What could go wrong at the happiest show on Harley's special day with his amazing family and his favorite characters? Just blood, gore, death, and a whole lot of screams. And for the audience, a lot of laughs while they cringe and wonder "who thought of this?"


The actors, all of them, from co-starring right up to the main, are all amazing and this is a hard feat when you are staring down psycho, robotic, oversized mascots of a kid's TV show. Next: The Banana Splits themselves, Fleegle, Snorky, Bingo, and Drooper, are hilarious. The sounds they make and their entrances are just unreal and to think they are actually running around, murdering everyone in sight, is an insane concept. They are supposed to bring joy and happiness to kids but have no problem torturing them. Like if 'Sesame Street' went rogue. Finally, it really holds your attention; you want to know what happens next and where these characters, even the plushy ones, will end up. It is NOT a film for kids, let's be clear on this, as it is frightening (and rated R). But, it is great for anyone who appreciates horror/comedy of any age; it does not discriminate and from the looks of it, I am seeing the desire for a sequel in their future. 

On a scale of 4 gnomes, Three Ice Cubes gives 'The Banana Splits Movie' 2.5 gnomes. You can own 'The Banana Splits Movie' on Digital NOW, and on Blu-ray and DVD August 27th!

'DWTS' Names First Season 35 Contestants

YouTube Dancing With the Stars has named its first contestants for Season 35. Many names have been thrown around, but now, two are official. The first is Maura Higgins of Love Island and The Traitors fame. She infamously got the winner, Rob Rausch, to buy her a Birkin when he was able to deceive her in Season 4 of The Traitors. Her name had been out there for DWTS as well as for The Bachelorette , so it will be great to see how far she makes it.  The next is Summer House star Ciara Miller. She is smack dab in the middle of the Amanda Batula/West Wilson romance scandal, so her time is now. This all went down on Wednesday, April 22nd, at Hulu's Get Real House event. The new season will likely premiere in September, so get ready. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Are you excited about this new cast so far ?

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

YouTube When you were on a semi-successful reality show, especially as one of the key players, and everyone watched your love story unfold, it only makes sense they will want to keep following you after the series has ended. Such has been the case for 'Jerseylicious' star, Tracy DiMarco , who always went head-to-head with Olivia Blois-Sharpe on the show based around the never-ending drama at the Jersey salon, The Gatsby. Eventually, DiMarco got her happily ever after when she married Corey Epstein in her dream wedding. She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories.  But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey, and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and Jayden as well as son, ...

Khloe Kardashian’s ‘Khloud’ Protein Popcorn: Light As Air?

YouTube Khloe Kardashian has just launched her Khloud Protein Popcorn, and it's supposed to be extremely special and different. The big draw to it is that it is specifically a protein popcorn. Khloe opted to put protein in a fun, grabbable snack, and it is great for those who need this on the go. Or for people who love to snack, who do not get enough of this essential macronutrient. Yes, protein bars can be great, but they often do not satisfy a craving. So, how did the Khloud popcorn fare, and is it worth the hype? We got it for you. Flying On A Cloud Not everyone wants to support the Kardashians, and that is understandable . They have become a hit-or-miss family and might be overrated. However, almost everything that they touch turns to gold, so adding food only makes sense. Kourtney Kardashian has her own supplement line, and now, Khloe Kardashian has ventured into snacks. She has long been into fitness, and it has been a great coping mechanism. So, on April 29th, 2025, she dro...
