Evenin! This is Sean McNulty (connect with me on LINKEDIN here if ya like or email me at seanmcnultynyc@gmail.com), and here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on SUNDAY, July 27, 2025.

Where hopefully you’ve gotten all of your PSKY jokes out of the way by now. Although as SKYPE is now dead, SKYP was right there! Then again, that sounds like “skip” — dealers choice if that’s better than “pesky” or “pee sky.”

Either way — points go to TKO and LION for far stronger choices over the past 2 years. 👏

AND: Here’s where the Happy Gilmore numbers came in on Friday — lotta Happy stans out there! See y’all on at 9 o’clock on the 9th green on Wednesday with the results.
