Skull-cracking elbow drops and ground-trembling suplex slams are only part of what makes WrestleMania great. The WWE’s biggest annual event — considered the pinnacle of “sports entertainment” by its creators (aka “Showcase of the Immortals,” “Grandest stage of ‘em all”) — happens at the intersection of athleticism and theatrics. Equally as thrilling as the high-flying and brutish displays of wrestling tactics are the elaborate ways in which wrestlers make their way from the locker room to the squared circle. As seen in Shawn Michaels’ famous aerial entrance to Randy Savage riding on a Roman sedan, the action starts the second the superstars start marching toward the ring. To rewind some of our favorite WrestleMania entrances, we enlisted the color commentary of independent wrestling broadc...
Red Hot Chili Peppers have been one of the most consistently popular bands in the world for most of their 39 years together, but it hasn’t always been an easy ride. Frontman Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea have been the only constants throughout the band’s history. Over the years, they’ve recorded albums with five different guitarists and three different drummers, whether lineup changes were prompted by the tragic death of co-founder Hillel Slovak or his successor John Frusciante passing the baton to Dave Navarro or Josh Klinghoffer. On April 1, Red Hot Chili Peppers are releasing their 12th studio album Unlimited Love, which reunites the band with Frusciante and the producer behind their most beloved albums, Rick Rubin. So let’s take a look at where the new album ranks among the L.A. band...
In 2013, you could count the number of Netflix original series that existed on one hand. Nine years later, that number is, well, a little higher. Over that time, the streaming giant became a huge player in the entertainment world, developing a massive catalog of content spanning all genres, for all audiences, in as many languages as the translators can manage. The below list, spotlighting 100 of the best offerings to come from Netflix since those earliest days, does its best to represent how Netflix has provided a home for near-countless series that might never have gotten a greenlight anywhere else, amplifying new takes and new voices just as a new hunger for innovative storytelling on television was being discovered. (For those curious about the rules here, the shows included had to have...
The rock world is mourning Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, who was found dead at the age of 50 on Friday in Colombia. Hawkins joined the band in 1997 after playing in Alanis Morissette’s band during the Jagged Little Pill tour. Coincidentally, the Foo Fighters opened a string of dates during that run. Dave Grohl, a legendary drummer in his own right, had played most of the instruments on the first two Foo Fighters albums. But after he joined Grohl, Nate Mendel and Pat Smear in the Foos, Hawkins quickly showed why Grohl’s decision to replace William Goldsmith would change the trajectory of the band. Grohl and Hawkins were inseparable on and off stage and his charismatic presence elevated everyone around him. The blonde, perpetually grinning Orange County-bred drummer played on the band...

Welcome to Dissected, where we disassemble a band’s catalog, a director’s filmography, or some other critical pop-culture collection in the abstract. It’s exact science by way of a few beers. The time, we enter the quirky, warmhearted world of Wes Anderson. This article was originally published in 2018 and has been updated. It’s fun to look back at Quentin Tarantino’s trajectory over the course of 20-plus years helming films. Once hailed as the video store punk with a proclivity for pop culture, Tarantino was the darling of Sundance in 1992 and quickly made a name for himself. He was the motor-mouth with a subversive wit, killer soundtracks, and a love for comics, rockabilly, and creative uses of camp, and he spawned a whole lot of junky crime capers, not to mention a ton of snarky banter ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced numerous businesses to adapt to remote working. The trend does not just affect huge companies but small businesses too.

It’s been over 10 years since Charlotte Emma Atichinson — known to most of the world as Charli XCX — released her first official collection of music, all culminating with a song that launched her career into the expansive pantheon of pop music: Icona Pop’s “I Love It.” The pop hit was a prototype for what Charli wanted to explore on her solo albums, and her 2013 debut True Romance added a moody, nostalgic palate to the mix. Yet, Charli didn’t stop there; since True Romance, each Charli XCX album has been a bold, ambitious, and highly distinctive work, playing always to her strengths as a songwriter and her deeply expressive voice. The term “future pop” was thrown around a lot around 2013, particularly with other indie pop artists like Grimes and Purity Ring, who added a modern, experimenta...
