Sam Elliott Complains About “Homosexuality” in “Piece of Shit” Movie The Power of the Dog
Sam Elliott has spent half his acting career perched on top of a horse, and he seems to now consider himself an expert on all things cowboy. In a new interview on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, the star of 1883 called the Oscar-nominated film The Power of the Dog a “piece of shit” while complaining about all the “allusions of homosexuality.” Jane Campion’s deconstructed Western stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Phil Burbank, a self-styled macho man whose insistence on presenting himself in the most manly way possible hides deep insecurities about his sexual identity. When Maron asked Elliott what he thought of the film, the 77-year-old responded, “You want to talk about that piece of shit?” “Where’s the Western in this Western?” Elliott asked. “I mean, Cumber...
My Idea Share Bittersweet Single “Crutch”: Stream
Last month, Palberta’s Lily Koningsberg and Water from Your Eyes’ Nate Amos announced the formation of their new duo, My Idea. Before their debut album CRY MFER comes out on April 22nd, the duo have shared another single called “Crutch.” Though the members of My Idea only got to know each other in 2020, the pair encouraged each other to quit drinking after they finished their album. “Crutch” documents them encroaching on that breaking point: “Truth is I really miss your tough/ And I’m hanging on ’cause you’re my crutch,” Koningsberg sings, seeming to argue that the people we meet can become just as addictive as substances. “‘Crutch’ was written at a time when both of our personal lives had begun to collapse around us,” Koningsberg and Amos said in a statement. “Outside influences began to ...

TIME recently posted an unreleased clip of Kanye West fighting for creative control over the music video direction of his Twista and Jamie Foxx collaborative track “Slow Jamz.” According to the publication, the footage was reportedly cut from Netflix‘s final version of the Jeen-Yuhs documentary. The clip takes place during the “Slow Jamz” video shoot back in 2004 where at the time, Ye had just received his first major success as a solo artist with “Through the Wire.” The clip showed that the shoot proved to be more torturous and uncovered the creative differences and logistical problems that plagued the making of the video.
