From Binging with Babish:
This week we return, once again, to the seemingly bottomless pit of pop culture food parody that is The Simpsons. Never one to shy away from making fun of McDonalds, America’s favorite family now grapples with an otherworldly force known as the ‘Ribwich’. I was going to make a “rib” patty, like they would in a fast food context, but I’m just getting out from under the flu and didn’t want to. I’m sorry.
This is how you repay our loyalty J. K. Rowling?! – it’s Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
A Warner/Nickelodeon animated film based on the comic book crossover from late 2015 featuring Batman and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle? Now how awesome is that?
Batman, Batgirl and Robin forge an alliance with The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to fight against the Turtles’ sworn enemy, The Shredder, who has apparently teamed up with Ra’s Al Ghul and The League Of Assassins.
For those interested, the movie will be released this spring on digital and 4K + Blu-Ray this spring. Cowabunga, dudes!

It’s no secret that fast cars add an element of thrill to movies—why else would they be working on the eighth Fast and Furious movie?
The famous DeLorean in Back to the Future needed to only reach 88 miles per hour (mph) to activate the flux capacitor, but some of the most memorable cars on the big screen have cruised at speeds well over 100 mph. But all of that speeding comes at a price. For example, did you know it took 13 different Bluesmobiles to create the stunts and car chases (all of them real, by the way) in The Blues Brothers? At the time of its release, the movie set a record for the number of cars crashed in a movie, according to the IMDb.
The cost of the scrapes and crashes behind the scenes is well worth the price; ordinary cars are turned into legends for their famous chase scenes, unbelievable stunts, and of course, top speeds. But some fast cars didn’t need crazy stunts to become legendary: cars like James Bond’s Aston Martin or the Ferrari in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off exude their legendary status right off the bat with sex appeal and utterly cool vibes.
Watching the speedometer needle creep upwards during a thrilling chase scene got us thinking, how fast can these movie cars really go? In the graphic above, jandstransport.com reviews fan favorite vehicles ranked in order by top speed. See if your favorite made the cut and where it ranks.
