Earlier this month, MatPat revealed Theorist Media‘s fashion-savvy YouTube channel Style Theory is planning a creator catwalk event that’ll air April 25.

Now, Theorist tells Tubefilter the show will feature dozens of looks from spring/summer ’24 collections designed by Critical Role, Zhc, Blogilates and Popflex creator Cassey Ho, Yes Theory, and more–with all those creators, plus MatPat and Style Theory creative director/host Amy Roberts, walking the runway.

The four-hour show, called Creators in Fashion, will have an in-person audience of around 150 people and will be broadcast on Style Theory, Game Theory, and across all featured creators’ YouTube channels.

Theorist Media is producing the event with its parent company Lunar X and Paragon Creative Agency, and has been working with YouTube Shopping for several months to make the entire show shoppable and interactive, so every single item on the runway will have a Qr code viewers can scan...

After 13 years on YouTube, MatPat is stepping down from hosting Game Theory, Film Theory, Food Theory, and Style Theory.

“Steph and I have known this video would be coming for the last three years,” he says in a 25-minute video uploaded this afternoon. “We weren’t sure it was necessarily gonna be today, we didn’t know exactly when it would fall, but we knew it was gonna happen eventually.”

That’s why, he says, Theorist Media has been staffing up for the past couple of years, and why MatPat and Stephanie agreed to sell the company to Lunar X in late 2022. They’ve been laying the groundwork for MatPat to pull back from hosting and for them both to take a bit of a breather.

As for his reasons for pulling back, MatPat jokingly blames Tom Scott and his epic goodbye video, then gets serious and tells viewers that...

Pakistan: “In Flames”

Zarrar Kahn’s horror film “In Flames” is Pakistan’s entry for the international feature Oscar. The film debuted at Cannes Directors’ Fortnight earlier this year.

In the Karachi-set film, after the death of the family patriarch, a mother and daughter’s precarious existence is ripped apart by figures from their past – both real and phantasmal. They must find strength in each other if they are to survive the malevolent forces that threaten to engulf them.

The film, produced by Anam Abbas and executive produced by Shant Joshi, Todd Brown and Maxime Cottray, is part of XYZ’s New Visions slate. As revealed by Variety, XYZ had boarded the title last year.

Maybe you remember reading about the Bishop Sycamore scandal. Originally known as the Christians of Faith Academy, the Ohio-based institution was trying to build a reputation around itself as the next big thing in high school football. Its target demo was, according to someone involved with the recruitment program, “[student] athletes who were good at football — or thought they were good at football — but weren’t going to play at the next level.” Many of these kids were at-risk youth, living in environments that tested their ability to thrive and survive on a daily level.

As Marty Walsh, the former labor secretary under President Biden and current executive director of the NHL Players Association, took the microphone, he grinned at the CBS Broadcast Center behind him.

“Let’s make sure we give them something to talk about in the boardroom today,” Walsh said to a roaring crowd.

That was the tone of the WGA’s sports solidarity strike, a distinct event during which members of some of the biggest unions in the sports world came out to show their support to Hollywood’s two ongoing strikes.

Later, Walsh assured TheWrap that both he and the NHL Players Association stood with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. “I think a lot of times, if you’re on strike, you’re thinking you’re alone, and you’re not. You have a lot of other union members around the country who support you,” Walsh told TheWrap. ” I’m asking [for the AMPTP] to get to the table,...

Jake Paul, former Disney Channel star and now trained fighter, is no stranger to controversy and defending himself in the ring. But in his one-on-one interview on “Game Theory” with Emmy-winning journalist, Bomani Jones, Paul found himself against the ropes looking for someone to throw in the towel. Instead, it was the former Disney Channel star who ended the uncomfortable moment with the slamming of his laptop and a “have a nice f—ing day.”

The interview that started off so well veered off track and into the bushes after Jones’ 12-minute monologue rehashing Paul’s career path from a social media influencer to a trained pro fighter and now the owner of a new sports betting app, BetR. But there was one clip that Jones was not thrilled about putting on display (even though he did) — when Paul knocked out former NBA basketball player, Nate Robinson, in the ring.

The social media star and now professionally trained fighter, Jake Paul, is gearing up for his next boxing match against Tommy Fury, but the gloves were on in a teaser clip of his upcoming interview on HBO’s “Game Theory with Bomani Jones.”

“After Tommy Fury, where do you go from there? Like what happens if you lose one of these fights?” Jones questioned Paul in a teaser clip for an upcoming episode. Paul responded seemingly taking offense to Jones’ inquiry.

“I don’t plan on losing. I don’t train to lose. I feel like that’s probably like, your mindset. You know, a lot of people try to project their mindsets,” Paul responded back.

When CBS news anchor Dan Rather was assaulted in 1986 by an unknown assailant yelling, “Kenneth, what is the frequency?” not one but two songs were born. First, there was 1987 track, “Kenneth, What’s the Frequency,” off of Game Theory’s Lolita Nation — which came a year after the attack. Then, there’s the better-known R.E.M. song, “What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?” off 1994’s Monster, which is getting a reissue Friday.

At the time that both songs were written, the facts of the situation were murky. According to the New York Times,...
