I love it when the rich and famous go on trial to display how vastly out of touch they are with the rest of humble society. Bone-broth-drinking, Goop-founding, avid skier Gwyneth Paltrow is social media’s current favorite spectacle. And I’m calling it: this might be the greatest celeb trial of all time. It started way

They’re back: our favorite toxic, turbulent family. The Roys returned on March 26 in Succession Season 4, the HBO Max dramedy’s suspense-filled final season. SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN SEASON 4, EPISODE 1 YET, TURN BACK NOW Like Season 1, the sunset season begins on Logan’s birthday. And like Season 1, Logan is not

Movie distribution is a complete mess. With studios holding out for theatrical releases while streaming services poach viewers from cinema seats, industry giants seem to be at war. And We, The People — who only want to watch exceptional movies — are the victims. Top Gun: Maverick and Elvis were hailed as the saviors of

Here’s a headline that you probably didn’t have on your 2023 bingo card: Tom Brady and Reese Witherspoon are allegedly dating, according to Deuxmoi. First of all, the fact that our modern day Gossip Girl is breaking this kind of juicy tea is insanity…but-wait-what?!? Reese only announced her divorce from Jim Toth on March 24.

We all know that one couple that refuses to tone it down and turn it off. I’m talking excessive PDA, feeding each other, and — heaven forfend! — chattering to each other in baby voices. I shiver and cringe every time I hang out with them. But when it comes to overly cutesy couple behaviors,

Tomorrow (March 31), Andrew McMahon will release Tilt At The Wind No More. The new album is his first since 2018’s Upside Down Flowers. The Southern California native has been a fixture of alternative radio for more than 20 years. From his early hits with Something Corporate, to Jack’s Mannequin to in the Wilderness, his

What is there to say about Pedro Pascal that hasn’t been said already?

It Came from the Closet is an insightful collection of 25 critical essays about the relationship between horror films and queer identity and existence. This collection is less about film criticism and more about personal experiences told through the lens of horror cinema, making these essays accessible and appealing to both academic and general audiences.

The 1960s had a strong line in twisty heist capers with one-word titles, and among the most creative and engaging is Ronald Neame‘s Gambit (1966), starring Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine. This movie’s been surprisingly hard to find in its widescreen version, so Kino Lorber’s 4K restoration finally presents this lark in Techniscope, as God and Universal

In Conflict Graffiti, literary and cultural scholar John Lennon conducts a deep study of the use of graffiti as a means of communication in areas of urban upheaval. Growing up in New York City, Lennon developed a lifelong curiosity about graffiti that began with noticing tags on trains that he saw as a child. That

Of all the Britpop giant Blur members, drummer Dave Rowntree seemed the least likely to have a solo career. Singer Damon Albarn was the undisputed frontman of the group, but he let guitarist Graham Coxon and bassist Alex James take the mic from time to time. Rowntree’s vocal contributions to Blur were always in the

The Mahler Foundation offers this useful summary: ‘Gustav Mahler believed that nature held the key to the profundity of life. … As he once

Grandpa storytime. There once was a golden era of independent modern rock – from about 1984 to 1999 – when maverick college radio stations paved the way to the indie future and music salvation. Underground was king: no Winger or Right Said Fred videos here! Post-vinyl but pre-Internet, this was the golden “120 Minutes” era,

There’s a lot to say about Hailey Bieber. In fact, we’ve said it. TikTok’s beauty guru, founder of Rhode, and one of fashion’s favorite cool girls, Hailey is Gen Z’s muse. 2022 was the Year-of-Hailey — she even has a Forbes 30 Under 30 cover to prove it. What’s most impressive is that Hailey, a

Updated 1/17/2023 With the Wild Card round over, America has been buzzing from another exciting debut to the NFL Playoffs. Jacksonville, led by Trevor Lawrence and head coach Doug Pederson, came back from a 27 point deficit to win over Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers. The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys both

When Bob Dylan released his 28th studio album, Good as I Been to You in November 1992, it was exactly what his fans had not been waiting for. We wanted a ‘real’ Dylan album, not a grab-bag of dusty old folk songs. Dylan had a terrible 1980s, a decade he spent stumbling from one debacle

Though perhaps not as instantly recognizable as blues master Eric Clapton or Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, Beck was a peer and colleague of both artists – Beck replaced Clapton as guitarist for the seminal British Invasion group The Yardbirds. Beck’s short stint with the group was captured in Italian Director Michelangelo Antonioni’s groovier-than-groovy 1966 portrait

During the brief moment I played in a punk band in the early 2000s, we had a completely unwarranted first gig bestowed upon us, opening for a popular underground band at our college campus. We had written four or five original songs that extended our set to a hefty 15 minutes. We landed such auspicious
