If you’re not heavy on YouTube, odds are you’re not going to recognize the name Markiplier. However, Markiplier is one of the most successful YouTubers of the platform’s first generation. He’s most notorious for his game playthroughs of indie and horror games, including the Five Nights at Freddy’s series, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Happy Wheels. Over the years, Markiplier has made a decent living off his gameplay and sketch comedies by collaborating with other famous YouTubers like Pew Die Pie. But how tall is the 32-year-old YouTuber?

Markiplier, whose real name is Mark Edward Fischbach, is a small-time writer, producer, and actor featured in various big movies and short films. The guy has even managed to rub shoulders with big-name celebrities like Jimmy Kimmel and Jack Black. But for the most part, Markiplier has been a YouTube personality. For the better part of the last decade. And according to Celebrity Net Worth, Markiplier’s YouTube streaming has landed him a net worth of $35 million thanks to the 29 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.

Nominated for several Streamy Awards, Markiplier has become one of the go-to YouTube personalities for game playthroughs, and his success has landed him several entertainment deals throughout his career. In 2014, he joined the comic book publisher Red Giant Entertainment’s board of shareholders and later starred in his own comic book series. And also, in the same year, he signed with media group Endeavour to expand his brand further into other branches of entertainment like acting.

He now owns a fashion brand called Cloak with fellow YouTuber Jacksepticeye, which he launched in 2018 and currently hosts podcasts like 3 Peens In A Podcast and Distractible; while in addition, he produces YouTube Premium movies like 2019’s “A Heist With Markiplier.” 

So How Tall Is Markiplier?

At first glance, you wouldn’t guess the 32-year-old YouTuber star is only 5′ 10″, even though he sometimes looks like he’s exactly 6ft. But then again, it’s not like we see him often outside of YouTube, and with all the special effects that videos have nowadays, it’s easy not to pay attention to the small difference of a few inches.

If you’ve spent even a little time on YouTube, then chances are you’ve seen at least a couple of videos from one of its most popular creators. Casey Neistat’s name is basically synonymous with YouTube, especially with so many aspiring vloggers out there seeking to emulate his style. The filmmaker and vlogger has been creating content on the platform since 2010 and has since amassed over 12 million followers in addition to his 3 million on Instagram. His easygoing personality and innovative filmmaking have made him one of the most successful and widely-known content creators in the world.

As glamorous as his life is now, it didn’t start off that way. Neistat dropped out of high school when he was 17 and never went back, opting instead to work in restaurants to support his new family. He and his girlfriend at the time, Robin Harris, had just had a baby named Owen and together the three of them lived in a trailer park in Connecticut until Neistat was 20.

In 2001 he moved to New York City, where he worked as a bike messenger and began dabbling in filmmaking with his brother, Van. Together they collaborated with artist Tom Sachs and made films about Sachs’ sculptures and art installations. In 2003, Neistat made a short film called iPod’s Dirty Secret that went viral before “going viral” was even a phrase in our vocabulary. The film criticized Apple for not offering replacement batteries for their iPods and attracted the attention of major media outlets like Rolling Stone and The Washington Post. Weeks later, Apple changed their policy and began offering replacement batteries, which they claimed had nothing to do with Neistat’s film.

Neistat would go on to film more successful projects with his brother including a film series called Science Experiments in 2004. In light of his online success and growing reputation as a captivating filmmaker, HBO ordered an eight-episode television series called The Neistat Brothers for $2 million. This put both of the Neistats directly in the spotlight.

Things only went up from there when Casey began sharing video content on YouTube in 2010. From criticisms of New York City’s bike lanes to motivational videos that would later lead to speaking engagements and TED Talks, Neistat’s creativity went wild on the video sharing platform. He got even more personal in 2015 when he began filming daily vlogs, some of which featured him skateboarding through city traffic and even snowboarding his way through epic blizzards.

So How Much Is Casey Neistat Worth?

The combination of his YouTube content, television credits, directing projects, speaking engagements, and other creative endeavors have given Neistat a net worth of over $16 million. A large chunk of these earnings came after he and Matt Hackett created a video app called Beme, which they sold to CNN in 2016 for $25 million.

Neistat, who used to live in Tribeca, now resides in Los Angeles with his wife Candice and their two children, Francine and Georgie. Neistat still films vlogs on YouTube and regularly partners with brands like Nike to produce socially relevant content that highlights other change-makers in the world. He recently made his feature film debut in Project Power on Netflix (which he discussed in a YouTube video entitled “JAMIE FOXX GAVE ME A BLACK EYE”) and was featured in Tim Ferriss’s self-help book Tools of Titans.

What Neistat, now 40, will do next is anyone’s guess, but there’s no doubt it will be just as creative and out-of-the-box as he is.

Restaurant to Another World (known as Isekai Shokudou in Japan) was a surprisingly big hit when it was released all the way back in 2017. It was popular with fans, rated highly on sites like MyAnimeList, and brought a whole new flavor to both the slice-of-life and fantasy genres of anime.

Despite its success, it took four years for the show to have a second season announced. Today on the show’s official website, it was officially announced that the series will begin airing on October 1st for the Fall 2021 anime season. They also dropped a new trailer that features a whole new character for fans to get excited over. Hilda is a demon mercenary based in the capital that is known as a “Night Strider” due to her expert abilities to work in the dark. She looks like a bit of a catgirl which will be exciting for certain fans.

The new trailer also showed off the season’s opening and closing songs, “Onnaji Kimochi” (Same Feeling) and “Samenai Mahō” (Warmed-Over Magic) respectively.

The show has a lot of new staff going forward into its second season as well. While Masato Jinbo of Chaos;Child fame is set to return as director, Yasukazu Shoji is replacing the two previous character designers for the show. They’re even changing the animation studio for the series, with OLM taking over for SILVER LINK.

It is likely that Crunchyroll will stream the series as it airs with Funimation airing the dub as they have done with the series previously. The anime will premiere on TV Tokyo and will also air on on TV Osaka and AT-X.

Ray William Johnson may not be the huge name on YouTube that he used to be but at one point Equals Three was one of the most popular programs on the platform. He would discuss viral videos on YouTube while cracking jokes and many consider Equals Three to be the predecessor that inspired popular shows like Ridiculousness and Tosh.0 today.

One of the most popular side projects to spawn from Johnson’s miniature media empire at the time was the musical project Your Favorite Martian. It was once the most subscribed to music channel on the entirety of YouTube and had sold over 1.2 million songs on iTunes. After a dispute with Maker Studios back in 2012 over AdSense revenue sharing on the project as well as future creative control, the album the band was working on was canceled.

Ever since then, the once-famous channel has been called THIS PROJECT IS RETIRED with the last song posted to the channel being Boom Headshot on September 21st, 2012. But now fans have seen some interesting activity over the last few days that show the band might actually be making a comeback after nine years of silence.

Recently, the band released a new album on Spotify titled, I Like Your Boobs, Will You Go to Prom with Me? on the platform — the title is a reference to one of their most popular songs Tig Ol’ Bitties. The album currently only contains nine previously released songs and none of the music that was promised in the thought to be canceled album the band announced back in 2012. The art also looks to be potentially stolen from Twitter user @saveraedae making fans question if the band’s account had simply been hacked.

However, a new channel called YFMVevo has also suddenly appeared on YouTube and is uploading videos from some of the songs on the album. The channel’s current description is, “Your Favorite Martian on Vevo – Official Music Videos, Live Performances, Interviews and more…” They also feature some of the videos that mysteriously vanished from the original Your Favorite Martian channel back in 2016 including the band’s first song My Balls.

Many fans were disappointed that Your Favorite Martian’s once promised album had never come out, especially with names like Miley Cyrus, Jonathon Davis, Snoop Dogg, and Mark Hamill attached to the project. While Johnson has continued to release new songs with his band The Upside Downs, fans are still longing for the once promised collection of songs to surface.

Is 2021 the year Your Favorite Martian finally makes its big comeback? Only time will tell. Ray William Johnson has currently not commented on the situation at this time.

Chances are that you’ve already seen one trailer for a movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch this week, with the first promo for Spider-Man: No Way Home racking up an incredible 355 million views in the first 24 hours it was available, generating plenty of buzz, hype, speculation and fan theories in the process.

While Netflix drama The Power of the Dog is only going to amass a fraction of that audience, it’s nonetheless shaping up to be one of the actor’s best-ever performances, which is no mean feat for an Academy Award nominee with a string of acclaimed roles under his belt.

Directed by The Piano and The Top of the Lake‘s Jane Campion and adapted from the novel of the same name by Thomas Savage, the plot unfolds in 1920s Montana and follows Cumberbatch’s vengeful rancher Phil Burbank. Infuriated by the arrival of his brother on the property, who brings his new wife and her son with him after her first husband passed away, there’s tension right from the outset.

Family drama, friction and no shortage of tragedy will naturally ensue, and while the footage doesn’t give away too much plot-wise, it’s packing plenty of sweeping visuals and no shortage of atmosphere. The ensemble cast is stacked with established names and rising stars like Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, Kodi Smit-McPhee and more, with The Power of the Dog having plenty of potential to be an awards season contender for Netflix when it premieres on November 17th.

After painfully long COVID-induced delays, Marvel Studios is back in theaters with a vengeance. Black Widow arrived last month, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings is coming in September, Eternals in November, and in December—my most anticipated MCU movie—Spider-Man: No Way Home. Now, after months of speculation as to which heroes and villains are in the movie, the first trailer has finally dropped (officially this time!) and we have some answers.

It seems the third MCU Spidey movie is going to be about the consequences of everyone knowing Spidey’s identity and him asking Doctor Strange to make a wish to undo it. The Homecoming and Far From Home core cast are all returning, but it’s the new additions that have really been raising eyebrows. Going into this trailer we already knew Benedict Cumberbatch’s Strange would be mentoring Spidey in the mystic arts, and that we’d see Jamie Foxx’s Electro and Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus appearing in the MCU.

Sadly there’s no sign in this trailer that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield are sliding back into their Spidey suits. That’s not to say we can rule them out completely due to the magical shenanigans going on as a result of Peter’s wish, but they don’t appear here.

Fortunately, the film’s villains are looking fantastic. It’s great to see Doc Ock again, a flash of lightning is a hint towards Electro, and there’s a particularly tantalizing shot of a pumpkin bomb. That’s likely a nod to the long-awaited return of Willem Dafoe’s Norman Osborn/Green Goblin, whose cackling and sinister performance has launched a million memes since the original Spider-Man‘s 2002 release.

Right now it almost looks like Marvel Studios are trying to adapt the hated “One More Day” comics arc, where Peter makes a deal with the devil that costs him his marriage with MJ. If they can take the core idea of that story and make it actually work, then full credit to them.

If the finished product lives up to this trailer, it’ll be a good time even if the story gets a bit tangled. I also expect fans to pick through every frame of this trailer to spot the Easter Eggs and figure out how far the MCU as a whole is going to go into this brave new multiversal future. If you’ve spotted anything cool we missed, let us know in the comments.

Spider-Man: No Way Home will hit theaters on Dec. 17, 2021.

Big screen veteran Adrien Brody straddles the divide between character actor and leading man, applying himself to a plethora of projects which have garnered him global acclaim. He has been nominated innumerable times and won an Oscar in 1992 for his performance in The Pianist.

Over more than thirty years, he has collaborated with Terence Malick, M Night Shyamalan, and Woody Allen, among others. However, despite the esteemed company, he has formed the longest working relationship with Wes Anderson by far. Having appeared in no less than five of his eleven features, only Bill Murray and Owen Wilson have clocked up more mileage with the writer-director.

Equally at home on television or on film, there is a scope and range to his work which makes him one of the most versatile actors working today. Having appeared in Peaky Blinders and headlined mini-series Houdini, he has been instrumental in making things happen. His latest is no exception, as the actor has come on board to executive produce Chapelwaite, an adaptation of Stephen King’s short story Jerusalem’s Lot.

Taking center stage as widower Charle Boone, Adrien Brody brings his full range of skills to bare, providing this series with the foundation it requires. One part gothic horror, one part period drama, and with more than a little darkness thrown in, Chapelwaite proves to be a solid adaptation. Over the course of his time talking with Martin Carr, he opens up about those themes in more depth. Not only illustrating his passion for the projects he engages with, but demonstrating beyond doubt, why he remains one of the most interesting actors of his generation.

Chapelwaite streams on Epix from August 22^nd.

YouTube children’s show Cocomelon is absolutely blowing up right now. The channel recently obtained the sought-after title of most-viewed YouTube channel in the United States, alongside being the second-most subscribed to YouTube channel in the entire world.

This colorful, charming series is popular for a reason. It puts an engaging family at the center of its episodes, which use nursery rhymes and original children’s songs to keep young audiences engaged. The well-performed songs seek to educate Cocomelon’s audience on everything from letters, numbers, and colors to lessons about brushing your teeth and the importance of stretching and washing your hands.

The kids that flock to enjoy Cocomelon’s well-executed formula come back for the cheery and educational cast of characters. The majority of the show revolves around a young boy named JJ and his family as they go about their daily lives and teach viewers about a wide range of topics. JJ’s family consists of himself, his siblings YoYo and TomTom, his parents simply named Mom and Dad, and the family dog Bingo. As with any kids show, the character’s details tend to be a bit hazy, leaving many to wonder about the precise age of some of the characters.

Take YoYo, for example. Seemingly the eldest among the Cocomelon family, viewers can’t help but wonder how old this chipper redhead really is. Thankfully, we have the answers you seek. YoYo is canonically seven years old, but is not, in fact, the eldest Cocomelon kid. That title goes to TomTom, who scrapes past her with an entire additional year under his belt.

YoYo is one of the more artistic members of her family and is always eager to help. Her age places her right in the middle of her siblings, which helps her to maintain her position as a relatable and engaging character for kids of (nearly) all ages to enjoy. She is also the only female sibling, which additionally helps this fun and lively character to stand out.

Cocomelon‘s musically educational formula has served the series well. The channel, titled “Cocomelon – Nursery Rhymes” currently has more than 117 million subscribers. The range of brightly colored videos on the page have gained Cocomelon more than 107 billion views over the years. Fans of the series flock to new uploads, which typically hit the page every few days, in droves, with most uploads earning a minimum of 5 million views. The series is so popular, in fact, that a Netflix adaptation was recently launched.

86 was a major success upon its initial release in the Spring 2021 anime season. Based on the light novel series by Asato Asato, its first cour (a quarter of the year) brought in countless viewers to engage with its intense mecha fights that wrapped around a story that discussed the horrors of racism and the danger of othering groups of people.

The series had announced a second cour of the show would be appearing in the Fall 2021 season but had not released further details about it until now. Today, the official website for the show released the first trailer for the second season of the show.

For those who haven’t seen the first season of the show, Yen press, the publisher of the light novel in English, describes the story as follows.

“The Republic of San Magnolia has been attacked by its neighbor, the Empire. Outside the 85 districts of the Republic there is the ‘non-existent 86th district,’ where young men and women continue to fight. Sheen directs the actions of young suicide bombers, while Lena is a “curator” who commands a detachment from a remote rear. The story of the tragic struggle between these two begins!”

The second season of 86 is set to premiere in October. The first season of the anime is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll.
