Andy Samberg’s New Upcoming Romantic Comedy Is The Film That I Didn’t Know I Needed Until Now

Yes, you read that right. Andy Samberg, aka Jake Peralta on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," member of the iconic parody band The Lonely Island (also featuring Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone), co-producer of the new Hulu show "Pen15", and notable SNL alum, is starring in new romcom — and I could not be more excited to see it.

Skeptics might try and say that Samberg doesn't have the range. I'm here to dispute that. Andy has acted or lent his voice to multiple films of various genres, including "Hot Rod," the "Hotel Transylvania" saga, "Celeste and Jesse Forever" (aka C&JF), "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs," and "Popstar: Never Stop Never Popping." While not all of his movies do spectacularly at the box office, ones like "Hot Rod" have become cult classics. Others have stated that his work in the romantic comedy C&JF really displayed his acting abilities. I have no doubt that Andy can pull this off.

Some of you may not even know the impact that Andy Samberg (and the Lonely Island) have made on pop culture, or why they're even relevant today. In 2005, they released the SNL skit "Lazy Sunday." It was one of the first videos to literally blow up overnight, and redefined virality. They had become superstars. Over the next few years, they released classics like "Natalie Raps," "Jack Sparrow," "I'm On A Boat," and the song that won them an Emmy, "D*** In A Box." They continue to subvert expectations and create great art while staying funny and true to themselves, and I think that's why they're still so loved today.

And another thing — Andy Samberg absolutely crushes it in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." I've already described my love for the show, but I don't think I've touched on how good of an actor Samberg is in it. I mean, have you seen his heart eyes?! He's going to crush his new movie. And did I mention he's 40 and still looks 25? What's not to love?

C&JF is seriously so underrated. media2.giphy.com

I don't know how many Andy Samberg fans there are out there besides me and a very niche group of people, but that doesn't matter. We're here to support his career, and if that means going to see a very cheesy movie based around Palm Springs, that's exactly what we're going to do.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
