"Black Panther" is shattering expectations at the box office with a record-setting world premiere. Hollywood Life's Bonnie Fuller joins Cheddar to break down the significance of the mind-boggling numbers. The Marvel movie's $235 million opening weekend makes it the highest grossing February release of all time.
It's also the most successful movie from a black director. Fuller explains why she thinks the film has resonated so strongly with audiences. She says Hollywood should expect it to be a major player at the 2019 Academy Awards.
The NBA All-Star Weekend was dominated by Fox News' Laura Ingraham's rant about LeBron James and Kevin Durant. Fuller discusses the controversy and what this means for the "stick to sports" criticism often made about athletes weighing in on politics.
An Associated Press analysis of more than 130 bills in 40 state legislatures found of the proposals, as introduced or passed, are identical or very similar to some model legislation, the AP found.
The first book in the Harry Potter series hit shelves in 1997. Since then, it’s become a multibillion dollar franchise with multiple books and movies, a theme park, and now an interactive exhibit in New York City. Cheddar’s own Ashley Mastronardi visited earlier this week before it was open to the public.
Cheddar recommends "Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl," "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," "The Mother," "A Man Called Otto," "The Covenant," and "The Great American Recipe."
Alyssa Fox, the first Asian-American to star as Elphaba the witch in Broadway's 'Wicked,' spoke with Cheddar News to discuss how she landed her dream role and the logistics behind her character.
