Hollywood Trials and Box Office Battles


Listen Later

Young Thug's trial has resumed after an eight-week delay, marking Georgia's longest trial in history due to repeated disruptions, including the removal of the original judge. Red Sox player Jaron Duran faced a two-game suspension after using a homophobic slur against a fan, with the MLB issuing an apology. Meanwhile, a box office feud is brewing between celebrity couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, as their respective films, It Ends with Us and Deadpool vs. Wolverine, go head-to-head in theaters. Some are dubbing this clash "Barbenheimer 2.0."
