The Matrix Resurrections and Brass Against: Why the Song Choice for the Final Scene Is So Damn Cool
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for The Matrix Resurrections, specifically the ending.] The Matrix Resurrections is a movie that’s distinctly aware of what came before, not only including actual footage from all three of the prior films, but offering up direct homages to the most iconic moments. And that’s especially found in the music choice made for the final sequence, which encapsulates the fourth film’s relationship to the original — a direct callback that also represents the new normal presented by director Lana Wachowski. If you need a reminder of how the original Matrix ends, it’s a relatively simple coda: With the wild action of Neo’s (Keanu Reeves) battle with Agent Smith (Hugo Weaving) now over, Neo places a polite phone call to the A.I. monitoring the Matrix in w...
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness Trailer Reveals No Way Home Fallout: Watch
Coming the wake of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel has unleashed the first teaser trailer for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Originally revealed as the end credits stinger after Spidey’s latest universe-altering adventure, the preview has now come online and can be seen below. The trailer picks up seemingly right after the events of No Way Home, which we’ll save from fully spoiling as the movie hasn’t even been out a week yet. Needless to say, Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) has cast a dangerous spell against the advice of Wong (Benedict Wong). Though it has momentarily saved the day, the fall out from the magic seems to have had a catastrophic effect on the multiversal fabric itself. As he tries to rectify his own mistakes, Strange seeks the aid of another powe...
TOMORROW X TOGETHER Drop Surprise Christmas Song “Sweet Dreams”: Stream
With Christmas just a mere few days away, now’s the time to soak in all the holiday spirit you can. Thankfully, K-pop “It” boys (and December Artist of the Month) TOMORROW X TOGETHER are here to help spread the cheer with their surprise carol song, “Sweet Dreams.” Produced by Slow Rabbit, “Sweet Dreams” is a mellow R&B jam, tailored for yuletide festivities with a jazzy piano riff and plenty of sleigh bells. With TXT members Yeonjun and Hueningkai co-writing the melody, and Soobin, Taehyun, and Hueningkai handling the song’s bilingual lyrics, the track is billed as a gesture of gratitude to the TXT fandom (aka MOA) for their persistent support and love in spite of a tumultuous couple of years. But most importantly, “Sweet Dreams” is TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s invitation to relax amid a part...
Exit Interview: St. Vincent on Grammy Nod, Daddy’s Home, Curb Your Enthusiasm
“Can we talk Curb for a second?” The catalyst for our call with St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) is a 2021 recap, surveying her mountain of accomplishments over the past year: releasing her sixth LP, Daddy’s Home; staging a U.S. tour and several festival spots, covering Metallica and remixing Paul McCartney, earning a Grammy nomination. But the art-pop maverick is most excited to discuss the social misadventures of Larry David. “Here’s the thing,” she tells SPIN, her voice lighting up with excitement. “I know the premise is that, ‘Oh, Larry’s such an asshole,’ but I feel like I agree with him most of the time.” As should any rational human being. And it makes sense, at least creatively, that Clark appreciates Curb Your Enthusiasm: The HBO comedy originally emerged from a sort of met...

Ubisoft Hit By “Great Exodus” of Developers and Employees
New reports have surfaced suggesting that Ubisoft has been hit with a “great exodus” of developers and other employees over the past 18 months. According to Axios, the French video game company has seen a significant loss in talent in recent times, with as much as 12% of its workforce leaving since mid-2020. Across its Montreal and Toronto branches, at least 60 staff members have departed within the last six months, including low and mid-level employees as well as those higher up in the hierarchy. Five of the top 20 developers credited for Far Cry 6 have left, and another 12 of the top 50 working on Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla are also gone. While former employees said having better, competing offers from new studios have been one of the key reasons for the large exodus of workers...
