‘Hulk Hogan: Real American’ Review: Netflix’s Four-Hour Puff Piece

‘Hulk Hogan: Real American’ Review: Netflix’s Four-Hour Puff Piece

Published by Daniella Wilson

Netflix‘s Hulk Hogan: Real American, Bryan Storkel’s four-part tribute to the late wrestling legend, is not a documentary for people who especially care about “good” documentaries. It’s a documentary for people who care about Hulk Hogan — but only truly care in-depth about the admirable parts of Hulk Hogan’s mythic life and will surely be happier with a mediocre documentary that accentuates those parts, rather than a good documentary that offers substance or depth. Hulk Hogan: Real American The Bottom Line A four-hour puff piece. Airdate: Wednesday, April 22 (Netflix)Director: Bryan Storkel And Hulk Hogan: Real American is absolutely that mediocre documentary, so enjoy! Put a different way, here are three key data points regarding Hulk Hogan: Real American: Firstly, the title is wholly in earnest and not an interrogation of what it means to be Hulk Hogan and what it means to be a “real American,” for better or worse. Secondly, the documentary is produced “in association” with WWE Entertainment, which has a lucrative partnership with Netflix. Thirdly, the president of the United States …

Puff, Puff, Pass… the Menu: These Are the Best 4/20 Food Deals

Published by skeptic

The munchies don’t care what day it is, but on April 20 they do tend to show up right on schedule. Whether you’re fully leaning into 4/20 as an occasion or you just happen to be thinking about food a lot more than usual, it’s a day that comes with a specific kind of appetite. What started as a low-key and rebellious ritual has well and truly gone corporate, and the food industry has certainly caught on. And with marijuana now legal in many states, every year more chains are jumping on the 4/20 bandwagon with suspiciously specific prices and deals that very much understand the assignment. Whether you’re partaking in this dopest of days, stumbled onto this page because a burger deal caught your eye or you just wanted a free frisbee, we’ve rounded up every 4/20 deal worth knowing about. Note: While cannabis has been legalized for medical and even recreational use in some states, marijuana and products containing THC is still a Schedule I drug under US federal law. Always exercise caution and …

‘A crunchy, blistered, golden-brown pillow’: the best supermarket puff pastry, tasted and rated | Pastry

‘A crunchy, blistered, golden-brown pillow’: the best supermarket puff pastry, tasted and rated | Pastry

Published by Sam Flores

Puff pastry is made by wrapping a block of fat (ideally butter) in a sheet of dough, then rolling it out, folding it over itself, and repeating the rolling and folding process several times more. This creates dozens of thin layers of fat between each layer of pastry. It’s skilled, arduous work, but that’s where ready-rolled puff pastry comes in. This miraculous product makes baking your own pastries, vol-au-vents and upside-down tarts very simple indeed. The Guardian’s journalism is independent.

I baked a small rectangle of pastry from each brand for 10-15 minutes at 180-200C (or according to the manufacturer’s instructions). I noted the height of the rise as well as the lamination (the separation of layers), texture, flavour, ingredients and value relative to quality. The flavour profile of most of the pastries was pretty neutral (a sign of ultra processing), but a couple of standouts had a natural sweetness and nutty flavour. The texture varied wildly. All you need to …

Melania review – Painfully sincere Trump puff piece is a dull vanity project | Films | Entertainment

Published by Sam Flores

The most controversial film of 2026 is in cinemas this weekend, as film critics like myself were refused early screenings across the world.  The Melania Trump documentary has been ridiculed this week for its lack of presale ticket sales, with screenshots of empty cinema bookings circulating on social media. Attending the earliest public showing I could find at a local Cineworld this morning, I was the sole attendee when initially booking. However, upon my arrival at midday, there were at least 7 people in the audience, including another critic scribbling away on their notepad and later cursing under her breath in fury as the end credits rolled. In contrast, as an American political history buff, I’ll lap up whatever new documentary on the presidency comes out, regardless of the subject’s party, so I went in very willing to give the First Lady her due. In the end, what transpired was mostly dull behind-the-scenes movements offering little new insight into the private world of Mrs Trump. Amazon MGM Studios paid a record-breaking $40 million for this puff …
