This week on Hardly Working, we’ve got prehistoric creatures, Disney nostalgia, and a possible cultural shift in masculinity — just a normal week.
Scientists have announced the discovery of a new dinosaur species in the Sahara Desert: Spinosaurus mirabilis. Roughly the size of a T-Rex, 95 million years old, with a brightly colored scimitar-shaped crest and fish-catching teeth. Not aquatic. Not a diver. Just out here confusing everyone.
In Harry Potter-adjacent news, Daniel Radcliffe revealed he was once pitched a remake of The Wizard of Oz where he would’ve played a karate-kicking Cowardly Lion and Emma Watson would’ve been Dorothy. He called it one of the worst ideas ever. Naturally, we cast it anyway.
And speaking of Disney nostalgia — the Hannah Montana 20-year anniversary special is officially coming to Disney+. It’ll feature Miley Cyrus, recreated sets, unseen footage, and a live audience taping hosted by Alex Cooper. Yes, she’s back in the wig.
In theater news, AMC Theatres reported declining attendance and revenue, even with major films like Avatar: Fire & Ash, Zootopia 2, and Wicked: For Good. Moviegoing still hasn’t fully bounced back — and AMC posted another quarterly loss.
But maybe the industry shift is bigger than ticket prices. A new survey suggests teens are less interested in traditional superhero “tough guy” tropes and more interested in emotionally connected, vulnerable portrayals of masculinity. Less stoic alpha. More present father.
Plus, Unpopular Opinions that may divide households:
- Early birds need to relax about night-owl noise
- Hollywood isn’t out of ideas — we trained them
- Blockbuster Video is remembered a little too fondly
- Goblet of Fire is actually one of the best Harry Potter films
Dinosaurs, Disney wigs, struggling theaters, and emotional reinvention — all in one episode.
