10 Back to the Future Quotes You Probably Say All the Time
Thirty years ago, the Back to the Future trilogy came to an end. Marty McFly finally made it back home in Hill Valley circa 1985, Doc Brown went off with his family (not to mention, that creepy kid), and the Delorean, well, let’s move on. Since then, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale’s time-traveling misadventures have become an essential part of our own space time continuum. We still watch the flicks, we still turn up Huey Lewis, and we still have crushes on Michael J. Fox. We also never stop quoting the damn thing. Hell, even amidst the pandemic, we’ve found a way to wield Gale’s prose to our own advantage. And given how we’re living in Biff Tannen’s America, the memes have just been nonstop. Editors’ Picks So, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future Part III, which stea...
Uncut Gems Now Streaming on Netflix
Want to add an anxiety attack to your Memorial Day weekend? Uncut Gems is on Netflix. Featuring Adam Sandler’s greatest role to date — an Oscar snub that even the Sandman agrees with — the Safdie brothers’ unnerving thriller centers around a Jewish jeweler drowning in debt amidst New York’s Diamond District. The film also stars The Weeknd, Idina Menzel, Lakeith Stanfield, Kevin Garnett, and Julia Fox. Editors’ Picks One of the 10 best films of 2019, our own Brett Arnold wrote in his glowing review for Consequence of Sound: “It’s grim, to be sure, but it’s packaged as a nail-biting thriller, one that builds to an amazing high-wire-act of a finale that turns a 2012 Celtics playoff game into the most important thing you’ve ever seen in cinema.” Consequence of Sound also spoke to the Saf...
Hans Zimmer’s Complete Mission: Impossible 2 Score to Receive First-Ever Vinyl Release
Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Mission: Impossible 2, but here we are two decades removed from Tom Cruise’s lush, silk mane. To celebrate, Mondo and Hollywood Records have announced the debut vinyl pressing of Hans Zimmer’s complete score. Featuring a dozen unreleased or expanded tracks, Zimmer’s score is presented in full, sourced from the original master tapes, and presented on 2×180 Gram vinyl. Well, not just any vinyl — fiery, fireball vinyl! (It’ll also be available on regular black vinyl.) “Amongst fans of the Mission: Impossible film franchise there is a deep divide: people who consider it the black sheep of the series, and those who embrace it and its unapologetic 2000’s-era aesthetic,” says Mo Shafeek, Mondo Music Label Manager in a press release. “The one thing that nea...
Betty White Is “Doing Very Well” and Staying Safe During Coronavirus Pandemic
As the coronavirus pandemic continues to stretch on and the number of deaths surpass 100,000, it’s natural to fear for the health of those close to you — and those not so close to you. Betty White celebrated her 98th birthday in January, and fans have been wondering how the veteran actress has been holding up amidst the spread of COVID-19. Thankfully, her representative has passed along a message from White to assure everyone that she’s “doing very well” and is staying safe. In an email statement to Today, a rep said White is “being very safe during these very trying times.” That means nobody is permitted access to The Golden Girls star except for “those who must” and people who were already a part of her regular day-to-day activities at home. Those lucky enough to get face time with ...

Doctor Strange Director Scott Derrickson to Helm Labyrinth Sequel
Labyrinth, Scott Derrickson (photo by Gage Skidmore), and Maggie Levin (photo via artist) Not long at after the passing of David Bowie, a sequel to his movie Labyrinth entered development. The project has since seen a number of creative talents attached, and now reports have emerged of a new team tackling the fantasy follow-up. Deadline has it that Scott Derrickson (Doctor Strange) is now set to direct from a script by Maggie Levin (Hulu’s Into the Dark). TriStar Pictures and The Jim Henson Company’s VP of feature film production Blanca Lisa are still behind the sequel to Henson’s 1986 cult classic. The Jim Henson Company’s Lisa Henson and Brian Henson are producing and executive producing, respectively. Derrickson will also serve as EP alongside his frequent collaborator C....
Mastodon Working on New Album, Recording Song for New “Bill & Ted” Movie
Mastodon were making significant progress on their highly anticipated new album, until the coronavirus pandemic delayed production. In a new interview, guitarist Bill Kelliher revealed the metal band had laid down 20 rough songs when the recording process came to a halt. “We were kind of right in the middle of it and we had about, I don’t know, 20 rough songs recorded right before this [pandemic] hit. And it just totally put the brakes on it,” Kelliher told RocknRoll Beer Guy. However, it appears the band feels like it’s safe enough to reconvene and continue work on the new record. “I’m actually leaving tomorrow for Atlanta,” added Kelliher. “We’re gonna get back together and have our first kinda… try to get back into finishing a few things that we started and seeing where we get.” The gui...
Paul Feig Blames Ghostbusters Reboot Backlash on Anti-Hillary Clinton Movement
In 2016, Hillary Clinton became the first female presidential candidate to be backed by a major US party. Gender was not surprisingly a hot button issue throughout the Clinton vs. Donald Trump election, dividing households nationwide, but longtime film director Paul Feig believes that the vitriol against Clinton had a substantial impact beyond politics: he blames the anti-Hillary movement for the backlash he received for his female-led Ghostbusters reboot. Speaking on Jess Cagle’s SiriusXM show last week, Feig said, “I think some really brilliant author, researcher or sociologist, needs to write a book about 2016 and how intertwined we were with Hillary [Clinton] and the anti-Hillary movement.” Officially titled Ghostbusters: Answer the Call, the reboot hit theaters Summer 2016, just ...
Christopher Nolan Bought a Real 747 for Tenet Just to Crash It
For being one of the most anticipated films of 2020, Christopher Nolan’s new movie Tenet has kept a surprising amount of its plot, not to mention on-set details, under wraps. Not even Robert Pattinson, one of its main stars, could explain what the flick is about in his absurd GQ cover story. It’s only now, mere weeks until the summer blockbuster will be released, that Nolan has finally shared a trivia-like teaser: apparently he purchased a very real 747 for Tenet… just to crash the plane for a dramatic scene. “I planned to do it using miniatures and set-piece builds and a combination of visual effects and all the rest,” he told Total Film. “We started to run the numbers… It became apparent that it would actually be more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size, and perform this seque...

Shudder is celebrating Pride in June 2020. Like Halfway to Halloween back in April, AMC’s horror streaming service has curated an incredible lineup for the month’s festivities, from originals to cult classics and everything in between.

The Safdie Brothers Ink Deal with HBO
Benny and Josh Safdie, the brothers behind the instant cult favorite Uncut Gems, have signed a two-year, first-look deal with HBO. As THR reports, they’ll create new projects under their own banner of Elara Pictures. Two longtime Safdie collaborators, producer Sebastian Bear-McClard and writer Ronald Bronstein, are also along for the anxiety-inducing ride. All of their HBO efforts will be executive produced by A24, which had previously worked with the Safdie’s on Uncut Gems and Good Time. A24 has lately developed a robust relationship with Home Box Office, including producing the new hit Euphoria. Interestingly, THR notes that the deal allows for A24 and Elara to partner up for “select projects outside of the HBO first look.” For now it’s unclear wh...
What’s Coming to Amazon Prime Video in June 2020
Amazon Prime Video can get confusing. Like its global namesake, the streaming service is a digital jungle of titles. That’s why each month Consequence of Sound puts together a full list of new TV and film titles being dropped into the thick of it. June 2020 is kind of meh. There aren’t many new titles, per se, though there are a number of sleazy and sticky popcorn classics. You know, like Hard Rain, or Double Jeopardy, or 2 Days in the Valley. All great trash to consume. What’s more, those who miss Jordan following The Last Dance can check out Space Jam. Saturday Night Fever is worth a boogie. And there’s also not one, not two, but seven goddamn Leprechaun movies to binge. Check out the entire list below and start stocking up on some snacks. To help round out your streaming sessions, be su...
