Imagine the weirdest news from 2024 summed up in 6 minutes. Now, you don’t have to imagine! Someone made it into a viral video.

It’s safe to say a lot happened in 2024. Probably more than you can even remember. There was one viral moment after another. There was all that happened during the 2024 Paris Olympics, a wild election, and more! 2024 was a crazy year and it would be difficult to sum up in only 6 minutes but Phil Edwards was able to do it. I forgot some of these happened last year! More happened in 2024 than I remembered. See the weirdest news from 2024 summed up in 6 minutes below!

What Were The Weirdest News Stories From 2024?

It was a big year for important news, impactful news, and some of the weirdest news stories we’ve come across in a long time. Not only was there Raygun, the Australian break dancer who went viral for her performance during the Olympics, but there were many more people who started as unknowns who became stars in 2024. We were also introduced to some new viral sensations like the Hawk Tuah Girl, The Rizzler, and The Costco Guys.

2024 was also the year that Larry David attacked Elmo on national TV and Artificial Intelligence was a big deal. There was even that AI podcast where the cast didn’t know they were AI. It was wild. Then, there was also the kayaker who faked his own disappearance, that was a big story. In sports, we had a huge run from the USA Men’s Basketball team at the Paris Olympics and Caitlin Clark changed things in the WNBA. We also had animals like P-Nut The Squirrel making headlines. Remember the portal between NYC and Dublin, Ireland? That didn’t end up going as planned. There were also lots of viral look-a-like contests. Jason Kelce was seemingly everywhere in 2024 as was his brother Travis Kelce for dating Taylor Swift.

Squid Game season 2 came out at the end of 2024 that was a big deal. Stephen A. Smith at ESPN had a lot of viral moments last year, he’s basically a walking talking meme. You never know what you’re going to get from him. Podcasts continued to be a big deal and Presidential candidates joined in on appearing on some of the biggest podcasts out there.

What will you remember 2024 for? Was it featured in the video? It was a crazy year and that’s recapped with that 6 minute video of the weirdest news stories from 2024.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

5 Highly Anticipated Movies Coming Out In 2025

There are some big movies coming out in 2025! Which ones are you most excited about?

As 2024 comes to a close, it’s time to start looking ahead. Some big movies came out in 2024 including Deadpool & Wolverine, Inside Out 2, Wicked, and Gladiator II. Those are probably some of the most memorable movies to come out this year and might be what the year is remembered for as far as blockbusters are concerned. Movies coming out in 2025 might be even bigger and more anticipated than the ones that came out in 2024–and that’s really saying something.

What Are The Big Movies Coming Out In 2025?

In 2025, we’ll see some outstanding originals, sequels, live-action remakes, animated movies, and more! There are some big things coming to the big screen–not to mention all the excitement coming to TV and streaming. The 5th and final season of Stranger Things is going to have us all on Netflix, but we’ll have to make sure to find some time to go to the movie theater as well because you don’t want to miss out on these movies. They’ll certainly be the talk at the watercooler and it’s important you stay in the know.

With only 5 to discuss below I’ll have to name some Honorable Mentions because there are too many great movies coming out in 2025 and I’d hate to leave any unmentioned. A Minecraft Movie will be interesting to see how it can compare to Barbie and if these movies based on toys will continue to be a hit or if it was a one-time fluke. With Jason Momoa and Jack Black it’s sure to bring in some money in the box office.

Thunderbolts is one of the many superhero movies coming out in 2025. Marvel has been in a bit of a dry spell lately, will this be enough to bring them out of a slump? Only time will tell. There’s another superhero movie that seems to be getting more attention and we’ll get to that later. There will be a new Karate Kid with Karate Kid: Legends coming out in 2025. There’s also Ballerina from the world of John Wick and stars Ana de Armas and I will certainly be seeing that.

Additionally, in 2025, we’re going to get a live action version of How to Train Your Dragon and those animated films are all great so I expect big things from this. There will also be a new Jurassic World movie with Jurassic World Rebirth, hopefully that can bring some juice back into the franchise. The last movie wasn’t great so a good rebound is in order here for the sake of the franchise. We’ll also be getting a new I Know What You Did Last Summer and Freakier Friday, too! Then, you can’t forget Wicked Part 2 with Wicked: For Good coming out in November of 2025.

However, the movies I think will be biggest can be found below. Are you excited to see these movies coming out in 2025?

  • Disney's Snow White

    It will be interesting to see the live action remake of Snow White. I’ve been iffy on a lot of the Disney live action remakes with seemingly none of them being better than the original. Could this finally be the one? We’ll have to wait and see but I think we’ll be hearing a lot about it in the new year. It hits theaters March 21st.

  • Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

    Regardless of how you feel about Tom Cruise, you have to admit these movies are always good. It’s not even about him doing his own stunts, which is cool, but they’re consistently quality films. I hope they bring it to a close in a good way. I was disappointed with how the recent James Bond movies ended and would hate to see this go a similar way. The movie comes out in May.

  • 28 Years Later

    You’re going to see a lot of Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the future. Not only is he Kraven The Hunter but he’s also set to be the next James Bond. He’ll also be starring in 28 Years Later the sequel to 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. Those were some good movies and I expect this to be great. The movie comes out June 20th.

  • Superman

    I’ve never been that impressed by Superman movies. In fact, I usually feel pretty let down. It’s a bit of a bummer especially when you compare it to Batman and Spider-Man which both have plenty of excellent movies made recently. Could James Gunn turn things around? I feel like Superman needs it and maybe we’ll get new life into the Man Of Steel with this new movie. I certainly hope so. It comes out July 11th.

  • Avatar: Fire and Ash

    Finally, Avatar 3 will come out in 2025. I feel like we’re always waiting forever for these sequels but you can’t say it’s not worth the wait. Who knows what kind of visual craziness we will experience in Avatar: Fire and Ash but I’m sure it will be great. Now it’s just a matter of waiting.  It comes out December 19th of 2025.
