P.O.D. Is Working On A New Album
In a recent interview with Anne Erickson of Audio Ink Radio, P.O.D. vocalist Sonny Sandoval confirmed that the three-time Grammy Award-nominated rock quartet has spent some of the coronavirus downtime compiling ideas for its next album. “Yes, we’ve been working on a new record,” he said. “I think everybody has during the whole COVID time. But not being able to go jam — I mean, we’re a band that jams. A lot of these new bands all live in different states, and they just send files, and all of a sudden, they create music. Well, P.O.D. is not like that. We like to sit with each other and play music and figure stuff out. And so it’s kind of been a rough thing. So we’ve been trying to write as individuals, but it’s just a learning process. Not that...

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Is Believed To Be Playing Young Morpheus in ‘The Matrix Resurrections’
Shortly after the release of the first trailer for The Matrix Resurrections, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II now has fans thinking that he is playing Morpheus, originally portrayed by Laurence Fishburne, in the fourth installment in The Matrix.

The theory could hold true as with the first Matrix , Yahya looks to be freeing Neo once again with the familiar red pill/blue pill scenario, not to mention the similarity in his character’s costume. The Matrix Resurrections will stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Jessica Henwick, ...
Christopher Nolan Shopping Film About J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Development of Atom Bomb
Someone keep an eye on Christopher Nolan’s backyard to see if he’s building a nuclear bomb. The acclaimed filmmaker, known for using practical effects in productions like Dunkirk and The Dark Knight, is reportedly shopping a new movie centered on J. Robert Oppenheimer’s development of the atom bomb during World War II. According to Deadline, Nolan is eyeing to direct the picture and is currently sending the screenplay around Hollywood. That latter fact may actually be more interesting than hearing the auteur is making another WWII epic. Since 2002’s Insomnia, every one of Nolan’s projects has been set up at Warner Bros.; while it’s not known if WB is still in the mix for this nuke film, the idea that he’s considering going elsewhere shows how much Nolan’s soured on the studio. Wh...

Kacey Musgraves Releases New Album star-crossed: Stream
Get ready to fall apart: Kacey Musgraves has unveiled her new album star-crossed via MCA Nashville/Interscope Records. Stream it below. In a sit-down with Rolling Stone, the superstar singer revealed that she was inspired by Greek tragedies and her divorce from ex-husband Ruston Kelly when conceiving the album. “This last chapter of my life and this whole last year and chapter for our country — at its most simple form, it’s a tragedy,” she explained. “And then I started looking into why portraying a tragedy is actually therapeutic and why it is a form of art that has lasted for centuries. It’s because you set the scene, the audience rises to the climax of the problem with you, and then there’s resolve. There’s a feeling of resolution at the end. I was inspired by that.” Advertisement Relat...
