Jack Harlow and Drake Are Off to the Races in New “Churchill Downs” Video
Jack Harlow has dropped off the official video for his Drake collab “Churchill Downs,” off his recently released album Come Home the Kids Miss You. The video, which was filmed at the Kentucky Derby last month, sees Harlow in a warehouse filled with hundreds of baseball bats emblazoned with the song’s title, before switching between shots of the artist rapping from inside a private box at the namesake horse racing complex. Between slow-motion shots of the races, aerial views of a fun-filled carnival and views of packed crowds, the video tastefully encapsulates their experience at the top-tier derby. Later, Harlow appears on the big screen before Drake takes over for his verse, which he raps from the same floor-to-ceiling, glass-encased box in a silver button-up. Following shots of the ...
Phoenix Share New Song “Alpha Zulu”: Listen
Phoenix have shared a brand new song called “Alpha Zulu.” It marks the French group’s first new music in two years, following “Identical,” their contribution to the soundtrack for Sofia Coppola’s movie On the Rocks. The title and lyric “Alpha Zulu” come from a phrase frontman Thomas Mars heard a pilot repeat during a turbulent flight in a storm. Give “Alpha Zulu” a listen below. Phoenix’s last studio album was 2017’s Ti Amo. The following year, they shared a collection of demos from that album’s recording sessions. In October 2019, Phoenix released the book Phoenix: Liberté, Égalité, Phoenix!, which is described as a “superfan’s chronicle of the evolution of a band” that includes selections from their personal archive of photography, lyrics, and more. That same year, Phoenix’s song “Liszto...

Netflix to Stop Greenlighting “Vanity Projects” Like The Irishman
With subscribers declining and competitors on the rise, Netflix has had to find ways to compensate and adjust to the State of Streaming in 2022. One way they plan to do that, executives said, is to make “bigger and better” movies, ultimately releasing fewer overall than the excessive output they’ve accrued in recent years. That also means the era of exorbitantly expensive vanity projects — like Martin Scorsese’s 2019 crime drama The Irishman, which had a $175 million price tag — is over. With massive names like Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino in its cast, The Irishman felt like an easy grab for visibility (albeit an entertaining one). But execs at Netflix say these massive prestige pieces are more voracious than they’re worth: “This tendency to do anything to attract talent a...
Tool Members Join Brass Against for Performance of “Stinkfist”: Watch
Tool recently wrapped up their European tour, and members of the band celebrated by jamming their classic song “Stinkfist” onstage with support act Brass Against. The performance took place at the outing’s final show on May 24th in Budapest, Hungary. Brass Against are known for their big-band covers of songs by Tool and Rage Against the Machine, among others. In fact, “Stinkfist” was a regular number in their set leading up to the collaborative performance. This time around, Tool’s Adam Jones, Danny Carey, and Justin Chancellor joined them onstage for the high-energy version of the Ænima song. Tool typically play pranks on their opening acts on the final shows of tours, as they recently did with Blonde Redhead, when they sported blonde and red wigs and danced around onstage during the the ...
Will Arnett Cast as Sweet Tooth in Live-Action Twisted Metal Series
Twisted Metal is hightailing it from your PlayStation to streaming. The long-running vehicular combat video game is being adapted into a live-action series for Peacock, with Will Arnett executive producing and starring as its cheerful villain Sweet Tooth. Sony Interactive Entertainment published the first Twisted Metal video game back in 1995. Now, we’re returning to “Lost Vegas” almost 30 years later, as Sweet Tooth still ravages the town with his unforgettable clown mask and disastrous ice cream truck. As previously announced, the half-hour action-comedy series will also star Anthony Mackie as protagonist John Doe, a smart-ass milkman whose two main goals are to make his deliveries and survive on the way. The Twisted Metal cast also includes Stephanie Beatriz as Quiet, a c...
Johnny Depp Wins Defamation Case Against Amber Heard
The verdict is in. After six grueling weeks of testimony, cross-examination, and scandalous allegations levied by both sides, a jury has found Amber Heard guilty of defamation against ex-husband Johnny Depp. The jury awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and an additional $5 million in punitive damages. But in the state of Virginia where the trial was held, punitive damages are capped at $350,000, and after the jury’s ruling was read out, Judge Penney Azcarate lowered the punitive damages to match. Depp’s total award is then $10.35 million. He had sought $50 million. The jury also weighed in on Heard’s $100 million countersuit, elements of which were awarded in her favor. The jury granted Heard $2 million total, all for compensatory damages, with no punitive damages assessed. Ad...

New ‘Sonic Frontiers’ Gameplay Footage Draws Comparisons to ‘Zelda: Breath of the Wild’
Fans have just received their first glimpse into the gameplay of Sonic Frontiers. Coming out later this year, the seven minutes of footage shows Sonic sprinting across a sprawling green open world, facing off in a battle and more. In one clip, Sonic scales monuments by jumping on turbocharged pads built into the stone. At certain points, he’s able to gain enough traction to simply sprint up the side of the building. Other snippets show some of the puzzles that Sonic must solve to proceed in the game, one being a seemingly simplistic tile puzzle. Overall, most of the footage is of the hedgehog running around the stone monuments scattered around the landscape. Some fans are comparing Sonic’s new open-world to that of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, although Sonic Frontiers appears t...
