The Sure Thing: Rob Reiner’s Underrated Romcom Masterpiece

Following his role as Mike “Meathead” Stivic on All in the Family, Rob Reiner decided he wanted to direct movies, and he quickly became one of the most successful filmmakers ever. He started with a remarkable run of hits, including This is Spinal Tap, The Sure Thing, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, and A Few Good Men – all released one after another.

Epstein’s Crypto Gambit: A Tale of Fortune, Folly, and Forgotten Emails

Years hence, as the valuation of Coinbase swelled to proportions both staggering and absurd, a certain Bradford Stephens, co-founder of Blockchain Capital, emerged from the shadows. In a missive both terse and tantalizing, he proposed to acquire half of Epstein’s stake, valuing it at a sum that would make Croesus himself raise an eyebrow. Fifteen million dollars, forsooth, compared to the paltry $3 million originally laid out. The correspondence, alas, dwells on the arcane mechanics of valuation, bereft of the color and drama one might hope for.

Cboe’s Binary Bets Reboot: A Polymarket Rival in the Making

Cboe Global Markets is quietly strolling back into the binary-wager business, obviously compiling the kind of restrained enthusiasm that only a suits-and-cravats economy can muster when faced with on-chain prediction giants such as Polymarket. The Wall Street Journal says they’re “in discussions with retail brokerages to relaunch ‘all-or-nothing’ options contracts for individual investors that would vie with prediction markets,” quoting people familiar with the matter.

CZ & Binance: The Parasites Devouring Crypto’s Soul (Again)

In the grand opera of cryptocurrency, where volatility is the libretto and rug pulls are the encore, Binance and its enigmatic maestro, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), have become the lead villains in a farce masquerading as a tragedy. One day, you’re sipping champagne on the blockchain’s Eiffel Tower; the next, you’re scrambling up a ladder made of collapsing stablecoins. Delightful.

Crypto VC: Fewer Deals, Bigger Checks, More Larry David Eye Rolls

RootData says there were only 52 crypto VC deals in January 2026. Down 15% from December, 42% from last year. Yawn. But funding? $14.57 billion. Up 61% MoM, 497% YoY. That’s like me finally getting a raise after 10 years, but instead of a pat on the back, I get a gold-plated toilet seat. CeFi, DeFi, NFT/GameFi-who’s keeping track? Not me. I’m still trying to figure out why my Netflix password doesn’t work.

The DCU’s Best Character to Return During the Super Bowl

Although you won’t see a typical trailer for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow during the Super Bowl, the movie will be featured in a special presentation during the 2026 Puppy Bowl. Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl, known for its focus on pet adoption, proved successful for DC Studios last year when they introduced Krypto the Superdog ahead of the Superman movie. Since Krypto is an important character in the new Supergirl film, the studio is likely using the Puppy Bowl to remind audiences about him before Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) stars in her first solo DC Universe movie.
