Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have unveiled the brand new trailer of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The three-minute visual first hears Peter Parker, portrayed by Tom Holland, touch on how his life has changed ever since becoming the titular hero and having his identity revealed by Mysterio. Things make a turn for the worse, however, when he accidentally disrupts a spell Dr. Strange casts, opening up an avenue for all the franchise’s previous villains — Doc Ock, Electro, Green Goblin, Sandman and Lizard — to enter his universe. While the villains have appeared in different franchise reincarnations, appearances from previous Spideys Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire were not confirmed in this trailer. Doc Ock does point out during the visual that Holland’s Peter is not the Peter that he knows,...

‘Ghostbusters: Afterlife’ Sits at 67% on ‘Rotten Tomatoes’
Reviews are in for Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and it currently sits at a rather disappointing 67% on Rotten Tomatoes. In comparison, Marvel Studios‘ latest flick Eternals became the lowest-rated film from the MCU on the platform with a similar score of 64%. Looking at the review section of the site, many critics seem to criticize the movie for its lack of originality. While there’s plenty of references and easter eggs to the franchise, the film doesn’t go much further beyond just that. “The whole movie is basically the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing at the TV meme for 125 straight minutes,” says ScreenCrush‘s Matt Singer, while Tribune‘s Katie Walsh said that despite trying to please everyone, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife should ultimately please no one except the most hardcore o...
Big Sean and Hit-Boy Reveal Why Kanye West “Can Be Very Hard to Work With”
Hit-Boy and former G.O.O.D. Music artist Big Sean shared in a recent interview that collaborating with Kanye West can be a tedious process. In a new episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Sean Don claimed that “Kanye can be very hard to work with. We all know that.” He and Hit-Boy added that Ye “will have you re-do a verse 10 times” and “redo some drums 10 times” only to not use it. “With ‘Clique,’ me, [Kanye] and Hov, I just did that verse on the fly. Everybody did a verse to it so there’s like eight other verses on there,” Big Sean explained. “I guess after him and Hov met up, they cut everybody but they was like, ‘Leave Sean on there, he went too crazy on the hook.’ I’m not just saying that, that’s what he told me. Ye hit me and was like, ‘Congrats, bro.’” Sean also took to Twitter to...
Laura Ingraham Clowned On Twitter For Goofy Exchange Over ‘You’ Series
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: SOPA Images / Getty Laura Ingraham, like many in popular conservative media circles, loves using the “woke” dog whistle to signal to her viewers that she’s all about making sure anything calling differing from their side is an attack. Once more, the Fox News host aired a segment on her show claiming that “viewers like woke-free TV” and discussing the Netflix hit You, prompting Twitter to throw some virtual tomatoes at the “attempt” at humor. During the segment that aired on The Ingraham Angle, Ms. “Shut Up and Dribble” herself appeared in quite the unfunny segment on her show that almost seemed ripped off from The Onion. Again, the term “woke” has been co-opted by conservative pundits to frame anything that calls out their bigotry and ham-handed idi...

Dave Chappelle’s Alma Mater Delays Renaming Ceremony Over Backlash
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty The uproar over Dave Chappelle’s recent comedy special, The Closer has caused him some headaches. And apparently, that backlash has hit closer to home as it has affected a planned fundraiser event meant to honor the comedian. According to reports, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in the Georgetown neighborhood of Chappelle’s hometown of Washington D.C. has quietly delayed holding a fundraising event meant to rename the theater after him. The event was to take place on November 23rd, but administrators decided to hold off over concerns from the student body over some of Chappelle’s commentary in the Netflix special that took aim at the LGBTQ+ community and his unapologetic position over some jokes directed at the trans community. R...
THE AMITY AFFLICTION Releases New Single ‘Give Up The Ghost’
Australian metalcore trailblazers THE AMITY AFFLICTION have shared another new track, “Give Up The Ghost”. The emotionally charged but heavy song wasn’t meant to be recorded, as it came at the end of a session where they were recording alone for the first time. “It turns out everything is faster and yet we have the same level of attention to detail we’ve always had on our records” says singer Joel Birch. “The lyrics were already written, and Ahren [Stringer, bass/vocals] had a chorus melody on another demo that worked for this song, so it all came together quickly, which was cool. Banging out a song on a whim in a day isn’t something we’ve done before, so it felt pretty good.” Since emerging in 2008 with its debut “Severed Ties”, THE AM...

David Draiman of DISTURBED, which recently played its first pandemic-era shows, spoke to Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF radio station about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the band’s follow-up to 2018’s “Evolution” album. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “We spent the past week [or] two coming up with some pretty amazing new DISTURBED material that we are very, very excited about. There’s nothing like playing live to inspire you, and it definitely seemed like it broke the seal. And now we’re all guns blazing. We’re very, very excited.” As for how far into the songwriting process DISTURBED has come at this point, Draiman, who resides in Hawaii with his wife and their son, said: “We have about six to eigh...
