Peacock's Office spinoff starts streaming in September
The Office cinematic universe is expanding this fall. Peacock has given the previously announced spinoff of the mockumentary series a streaming date and name, while also revealing a first image. It's called The Paper, and it will premiere in September. The image, meanwhile, sure looks like an office. Of a newspaper.
The show will feature the same documentary crew as The Office, but this time they're following the exploits of a small town newspaper. As the official logline explains, 'the crew is in search of a new subject when they discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher that is trying to revive it.' Greg Daniels, showrunner on The Office, and Michael Koman — best-known as a writer on Nathan for You and Late Night with Conan O'Brien — are serving as writers and executive producers.
Meanwhile, the cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and Oscar Nuñez.

Nintendo Switch 2 release in San Francisco draws crowd to Union Square store
The Nintendo Switch 2 release at the San Francisco flagship store had fans lining up and traveling from far away on Wednesday. The flagship San Francisco store hosted a pre-celebration event for fans. One fan said they even traveled from New Jersey for the opportunity. "I'm a big Nintendo fan," a fan dressed as Luigi said. Fans got there early and were able to try the Mario Kart demo on the Switch 2, which officially goes on sale at 9 p.m. Wednesday, June 4. KPIX asked Denier about the hype surrounding the latest console. "It's a powerful 10x upgrade from the original that came out in 2017. I'm looking forward to playing 4K, 60 frames per second," Denier said. "That's a little bit nerdy, but that's something people like me really look for." Coincidentally, he means players like Trevor Strohl, who's a professional saxophone player. And when he gets on the sax, his interests collide. "We play all sorts of video game music, including a lot of Nintendo music," Strohl said. The Switch 2 is pricier than the first generation, at roughly $500 per unit. But from the looks of the line, it's well on its way to making another big splash for Nintendo and its users. "I'm going to buy it with Mario Kart, and I'm going to buy it with some controllers and accessories and stuff, maybe some of the accessories they got," Denier said. In the end, fans are there to have a common experience and share the love for a beloved gaming system. "We're just devoted fans," Denier said. "We love Nintendo."

UFC 316: 10 Things You Need To Know About Saturday's PPV
It feels like it's been at least two months since the last UFC PPV. In reality, it's been less than a month. UFC 315 was on May 10. Perhaps it seems as though it's been such a long time because the cards between then and now have been pretty lackluster. That's going to change on Saturday as the UFC's epic summer schedule gets underway. Here's the 10 things you should know about UFC 316. UFC 316 is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, 2025. The event takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. A bantamweight title rematch between reigning champion Merab Dvalishvili and former titleholder Sean O'Malley. Dvalishvili dethroned O'Malley in September 2024 at Noche UFC to win the title. Since winning the title, Dvalishvili has successfully defended it once in January against Umar Nurmagomedov. Julianna Peña defends her women's bantamweight title against Olympic gold medalist and former Professional Fighters League featherweight champion, Kayla Harrison. This fight marks Peña's first title defense during her second championship reign. Harrison has a chance to become the first woman to hold a PFL and UFC world title. The female G.O.A.T is poised to make a return to the Octagon. She will likely be in New Jersey to face off with the winner following the co-main event. Look for the winner to face Nunes for the bantamweight title later this year. The former Bellator bantamweight champ Patchy Mix debuts in the UFC with a 20-1 record and 13 submission wins. Mix is one of the best bantamweights in the world and he makes his promotional debut against a tough contender in Mario Bautista. Quite honestly, as good as Bautista is, if Mix doesn't win, there will be serious doubt as to whether he'll be a title contender in the UFC. So far, none of the champions who have come over from Bellator have proven to be on that same level in the UFC. Will Mix be the first? While neither Khaos Williams nor Andreas Gustafsson figure to be championship contenders, both men have proven they are about that fight life. From a pure fighting style standpoint, you couldn't ask for a better matchup if you want to see two fighters get after it. There's some other compelling matchups along this line (Luque-Holland, Gastelum-Pyfer, Pena-Harrison), but Williams-Gustafsson could easily be the best fight of the night.
