Foodbeast’s Kitchen League: Challengers Vs. Champs is coming to Twitch.TV as the world’s first-ever live-streamed cooking series on a major platform. A truly live cooking competition series with a sprint towards a final showdown sounds intense. Who’s going to burn their protein? Who’s going to undercook their rainbow risotto? Who’s knife skills are going to falter and leave a pinkie finger on the cutting board? Who’s going to make it to the finale and then go down in a blaze of glory?
Live stream aside, the show sounds like a fun respite from the usual cooking competition shows we already know and love. Each live stream, airing on Twitch.TV/Crown, features a mix of real-deal chefs, Tik-Tok-famous cooks, and Twitch-famous cooks facing off against each other in their home kitchens. Host Elie Ayrouth, publisher and co-founder of Foodbeast, is the master of ceremonies and calls each match like a UFC bout.
The show ups the ante for competing chefs by throwing sabotages into the mix while they’re cooking live. These are obstacles like cook “one-handed” or “without a knife” or “blindfolded.” All of them add to the intensity of every cook and can lead to some serious crash-and-burns when timed right. Those sabotages are inflicted on the sweating chefs by, well, you. Viewers can use their channel points to sabotage a chef at any point in their cook. Which, if we’re being honest, is a great twist on the cooking competition show format. Incidentally, you can also use your channel points to protect your favorite cook. But where’s the fun in that?
If you’re looking for a sense of the show, you can catch a glimpse with our own Steve Bramucci (who’s no stranger to cooking battles) competing right here. Check out the trailer for the show below!
Megan Thee Stallion is a legitimate star, yes, but so too is her dog, Foe Thee Frenchie, who has over half a million followers on Instagram. Now, Meg and Foe are teaming up for a new endeavor: Today, Snapchat announced that Megan will be hosting a new show on the platform called Off Thee Leash With Megan Thee Stallion.
Snapchat describes the show, “With multiple Grammys to her name, including Best New Artist, Megan Thee Stallion commands the charts, popular culture, and now Snapchat! In this new series, she’ll be joined by celebrity friends and their pets hosted in a way that only Megan can.” It is not currently clear when the show is set to premiere.
Snapchat also describes its new slate of programming more broadly, “Our new slate is a reflection of our community – what they care about, and the stories and personalities they love. […] Through our Snap Originals, it’s been exciting to see A-List talent become passionate about telling stories on mobile and creating content designed for the Snapchat community. We’re also giving Snapchatters a look at their favorite creators like they’ve never seen before, and finding rising stars on their way to becoming household names.”

Crypto mania continues to tighten its hold on hip-hop as more and more jump on the blockchain wave in the hopes of a big payday. Just a week after Eminem reportedly pulled down almost $2 million selling a collection of NFTs and Nas purportedly made out like a bandit thanks to early investment in the cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase (prompting him to dub himself the “Cryptocurrency Scarface” on DJ Khaled’s “Sorry Not Sorry”), Meek Mill has joined in the feeding frenzy, buying $50,000 worth of the meme currency Dogecoin as prices rise in the wake of increased media coverage (but not scrutiny).
“I just grabbed some doge I’m tired of missing out,” he said on Twitter. Meanwhile, on Instagram, he posted a screenshot revealing both his investment — $50,000, or the price of a midsize sedan, or more than many Americans make in a year, depending on how you look at it — and his chronic misunderstanding of investment practices (buy low, sell high, Meek!).
We’ll see if it works out for him but for now, it looks like he’s another person who’s bullish on cryptocurrency and betting he can cash out before the casino closes.
Chloe Moriondo has been steadily releasing new music over the last few years, but now the 18-year-old songwriter is gearing up to release her major-label debut. Blood Bunny is a departure from the sound on Moriondo’s previous work, employing a full band to create alternative rock songs that sound absolutely massive (think: The Joy Formidable), combined with excellent songwriting.
To celebrate the new album, Moriondo sat down to talk Hayley Williams, being able to fall asleep anywhere, and more in the latest Indie Mixtape 20 Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Teenage, honest, gross, and fun!!! >:P
It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
I want my music to be remembered as fun pop and rock music that lesbians all over the world loved.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform?
I haven’t had enough experience I don’t think to truly pick my favorite city, but my first and only two headliners in London at Thousand Island were incredibly enthusiastic and so high energy and fun!! So I will say London for now or Detroit because it’s so close to home!!!
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
Probably Hayley Williams. I’ve listened to her voice in Paramore since I got my first purple iPod Nano and earbuds and I think it’s been echoing in my ears ever since!! She is so cool and inspirational and I’ve always just adored the insane rock chick energy she holds. I always wanted to hold that energy myself to others someday.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life?
The best meal of my life was at this tiny little ramen place with my best friend and now girlfriend Samantha and tour manager Ally (if you’re reading this I miss u desperately!!). I believe it was in Boston and it was before I was vegetarian so I know I wouldn’t be able to get the exact same thing but Samantha let me have sips of the little bottled jasmine teas they sold and the ramen was heavenly.
What album do you know every word to?
This is mildly embarrassing, but I could confidently recite every lyric to any song thrown at me from Pretty. Odd. by P!ATD. That was the first album that came to my head because it’s so visceral to my middle school experience, but I could probably even more confidently recite every lyric to No Dogs Allowed by Sidney Gish as well.
What was the best concert you’ve ever attended?
The best concert I’ve ever attended was probably my first real smaller “show,” which I suppose is different from a concert? It was an Alvvays show at the Magic Stick in Detroit. Jay Som also opened, I remember, and it was my first time ever hearing of them which is crazy cus I love them now. If we’re talking best CONCERT, I would say BTS, which I spent far too much money on but got close enough to make eye contact with Jimin so I call it a win.
What is the best outfit for performing and why?
I haven’t performed for a while, but I would probably say a nice loose or cropped t shirt and shorts or a skirt would be best. I get really hot on stage and I like to move around a lot, so that will likely be my go-to outfit for the coming shows! I wanna look cool though so hopefully enough accessories + glitter + bright colors + stickers will make it cooler!!!
Who’s your favorite person to follow on Twitter and/or Instagram?
He’s not a person but he is better, Mr. Bubz on Instagram is my favorite boy to look at besides my own dog. Something about angry little dogs is so endearing to my weird little brain, I just wanna hug em and let them bite me!!
What’s your most frequently played song in the van on tour?
On my last tour it was probably either “Judy Garland” by Frog or “I Eat Salads Now” by Sidney Gish, but who knows what this next one will bring…
What’s the last thing you Googled?
“Open e guitar” I am too lazy to get a tuning pedal!!!!
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
I’m pretty good at being able to sleep anywhere, but so far I don’t think I’ve crashed anywhere weirder than a green room couch?!?!?! I’m sure the tour managers who have had to virtually carry me like a baby through venues would maybe have a nice tidbit for this question but I can’t think of anything!
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
My first ever tattoo was the tiny eyeball on my right middle finger, and it’s inspired by the eyes from a video game very close to my heart called Night in the Woods! I stick n poked it myself at first, but it was kinda shitty, so my friend Robin (Cavetown) poked over it for me much nicer when I visited him to record my first EP, Spirit Orb 😛 I have more + my eyeball is definitely not my favorite but that’s all I’ll say about them for now!!!
What artists keep you from flipping the channel on the radio?
I don’t listen to the radio very often anymore, but if I’m in the car with my dad and Dua Lipa comes on he is not touching that tuner. I don’t know what comes over me, it’s just the groove of it all. U want me. I want u baby.
What’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
I have so many lovely people in my life who have done kind things for me so it’s hard to pick something especially with my bad memory and fear of offending other people who have done nice things for me…… I will say the time a really cute fan in a pink lil outfit gave me a big BT21 Tata plushie that I still show off in my room. He’s so cute and those things are expensive so I was really touched cus he’s my favorite and I couldn’t imagine someone getting it for me!!
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Uhhhhhhh I’m 18 now, so just keep rockin and rollin I guess!!!!!????
What’s the last show you went to?
I think it was technically my own show, one of the Cavetown shows I was supporting in the UK before lockdown in 2020! I miss it so badly!!!!!
What movie can you not resist watching when it’s on TV?
They’re not often on TV, but if either Labyrinth or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Johnny Depp version) are on I will sit on the couch and vibe. I fall asleep during movies a lot so I might pass out but I love them regardless.
What would you cook if Obama were coming to your house for dinner?
Oh sh*t I can’t cook. I’d beg my dad to help me make a vegetarian lasagna, but if he weren’t home I would try my best to make a soup of sorts I suppose…. Everyone likes soup right? Obama likes soup right???

For those unaware, mezcal is technically the broad term used to define allMexican agave-based spirits. This means that all tequila is mezcal, but not all mezcal is tequila (get it?). The difference is that mezcal can be made using any type of agave and can be made anywhere in Mexico (though most of it is made in Oaxaca) while tequila has strict rules about which agave must be used (Blue Weber) and where it can be produced (Jalisco and a few surrounding areas), among other rules.
With summer coming on quickly, we figured the time was right to highlight some of our favorite sipping and mixing mezcals. These eight expressions will pull your palate in new directions and they’re (almost) all squarely in the affordable range. Check them out below and click on the prices to buy a bottle!
This Joven mezcal was distilled using agave Cupreata grown and harvested in the mountainous region of Rio Balsas. Just awarded Double Gold, Best of Show in the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Amaras Cupreata is fermented in open air before being distilled in copper pot stills.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll find roasted agave, nutty sweetness, and subtle cocoa beans. The palate is swirling with freshly cut grass, cracked leather, and a nice mix of subtle smoke and fresh wildflowers. The finish is filled with vegetal sweetness and floral notes.
Bottom Line:
When it comes to mezcals, this one isn’t the smokiest. But what it lacks in the smoke department, it makes up for with bright, floral notes that reveal a new layer of mezcal’s complexity for the newbie.
Finely crafted by Jose Ines Garcia Morales and his family (and two other families), this Oaxacan-made mezcal is made using both Espadin and Cuishe agave. It’s made traditionally by smoking the agave underground before stone grinding it using a horse-drawn tahona. This is as authentic as mezcal gets and you can taste it in every sip.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is filled with roasted agave sweetness, a hint of minerals, and a nice wafting of smoke. Taking a sip will reveal vegetal sweetness, brown sugar, freshly cut grass, chili peppers, and more pleasing, rich smoke. The finish is subtly smoky and effortlessly sweet.
Bottom Line:
This is a perfect beginner mezcal. It’s well-rounded with a nice combination of sweet and smoky, but not complex enough to scare off mezcal newcomers.
This brand was launched in 2005 as an effort to make a legitimate business using the mezcals that founder John Rexar originally smuggled to his bar Cade No Se in Antigua, Guatemala. This unaged mezcal is made using Espadin agave. It’s known for its easy-to-drink, mellow flavor that works well in cocktails.
Tasting Notes:
Take a moment to breathe in the aromas of fresh peppers, citrus zest, pineapples, and a slight minerality. Take a sip and you’ll find flavors of bright lime, vanilla beans, vegetal sweetness, and smoky pipe tobacco. The finish is sweet, smoky, and complex.
Bottom Line:
For the price, this is a very flavorful mezcal. It’s the kind of spirit that requires multiple tasting before you discover all of the various flavors — that makes it a great pick for someone excited about developing their palate.
Montelobos means mountain of wolves and we think that’s a fitting name for such a cool mezcal brand. Its joven is an unaged mezcal made with Espadin agave that’s roasted for a week in an underground volcanic stone oven before being crushed with a tahona and fermenting naturally pre-distillation.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, expect scents of citrus rinds, green peppers, roasted agave, and slight smoke. Sipping this mezcal reveals flavors of toasted vanilla beans, vegetal sweetness, lime zest, and a nice kick of robust smoke. It all ends with a nice mix of sweet agave and subtle spicy smoke.
Bottom Line:
If you only buy one bottle of mezcal to mix with this year, make it Montelobos Joven. It’s sweet, smoky, and well-suited for crafting a smoky margarita.
Doña Vega makes two mezcals: Espadin and Tobala. Its Espadin is made in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca using only 100% Espadin agave. Made by a fifth-generation mezcal producing family, it’s roasted underground before being crushed using a tahona and distilled in copper pot stills.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is filled with the aromas of fresh peppers, citrus peels, tropical fruits, and nice, earthy smoke. Drinking this mezcal reveals hints of roasted pineapple, caramelized sugar, vegetal sweetness, subtle pepper, and light smoke. The finish is smoky, sweet, and ends with a nice kick of cracked black pepper.
Bottom Line:
If you have the cash, we suggest buying one of each of Doña Vega’s expressions and comparing the flavors therein. That’s the best way to find out which one will become your new go-to.
This expression from Rey Campero Mezcal is made using Marmorata agave that is harvested after maturing to around 18 years of age. It’s roasted, crushed, and open-air fermented before being distilled twice to ensure the highest quality and flavor possible.
Tasting Notes:
The aromas of citrus zest, wildflowers, vanilla beans, and slight smoke are most prevalent on the nose. From the first sip, you’ll be transported to a world of ripe, zesty peppers, fresh leather, subtle flowers, and subtle tobacco-like smoke. The finish is long, warming, and ends with a combination of sweet peppers and smoke.
Bottom Line:
This is a highly complex mezcal. It’s not the type of mezcal you’ll want to use as a mixer. It’s subtly smoky, peppery, sweet, and perfect as a intro to slow sipping.
If you’re a mezcal drinker, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve already heard of Del Maguey. This beloved brand makes a whole slew of highly-rated expressions, but we prefer its Chichicapa for the value and flavor. Named for the village it comes from, this is a sipping mezcal if there ever was one.
Tasting Notes:
On the nose, you’ll find aromas of roasted agave, caramelized pineapple, brown sugar, and pipe tobacco. On the palate, notes of buttery caramel, vegetal sweetness, toasted vanilla beans, and more campfire smoke are all evident. The finish is filled with tropical fruit flavors complemented by slightly roasted agave smoke.
Bottom Line:
The best way to enjoy Del Maguey’s line of mezcals is to work your way around them. Chichicapa is a great choice for mezcal beginners, but it’s so good you’ll keep it stocked on your bar cart for years.
Every list deserves a bad boy and that’s exactly what Mezcal Vago Elote is. This 50.2% spirit is made from 100% Espadin agave. But instead of simply making a great mezcal using this popular agave, the master distiller adds toasted corn, also known as elote, after the second distillation. The result is a sweet, smoky, and highly memorable expression.
Tasting Notes:
Take a moment to breathe in the scents of sweet corn, roasted agave, slight minerality, and subtle bacon-like smoke. Take a sip and you’ll enjoy flavors of clover honey, roasted pineapple, and a subtle herbal, woody smoke. The ending is a nice mix of roasted corn and sweet, rich smoke.
Bottom Line:
If you’re a whiskey fan who’s new to mezcal, this is the expression for you. It has just enough sweet corn flavor to help you ease your way into this agave-based spirit.

When my friend Jenny Levison told me she was launching what she called a “Kindness Tour,” in the middle of the pandemic last year, I thought she’d lost her mind.
Levison is a celebrity chef and the owner of five “Souper Jenny” restaurants in the Atlanta area. To say that she walks to the beat of her own drum is an understatement. Once she makes her mind up to do something, there really isn’t any stopping her. And she is someone who is committed both in her life and her work to giving back, paying it forward, and helping those who need it — even if that means renting an RV, covering it with peace stickers, and heading out on the road to give away free food for weeks at a time.
Levison tells me that the first “Souper Jenny Kindness Tour” was born out of a drive to help people having a rough time in 2020. Knowing how hard the restaurant industry was hit and all the people who were impacted by it, she launched a six-week tour from Atlanta to California last October.
“Everyone was struggling and frankly, I needed some hope as well. I called one of my besties and told her what I wanted to do. I wanted to hop in an RV, drive west and start to spread the word that hope and joy were still alive and kindness was the new cool.”
She says the first trip was “life-changing.”
“We walked the bridge in Selma, which I’ve never done before and I could feel the weight of our history. We brought a wagon filled with quarts of soup and we handed them out on the bridge. Someone told us about some low-income housing in the area. So, we headed over. This white Jewish girl showed up in their neighborhood and I was welcomed with open arms by the community,” Levison says.
She and her friend, and co-captain on their wild adventure, Meg Gillentine Morris, stopped at local farms and bought out their produce. They’d use the produce to make soup and find ways to feed communities in need. They’d set up socially distant takeout tables and give away free soup in the RV parks where they stopped. They’d leave quarters for people to do their laundry in laundromats. They did a free grocery drive in Lake Charles, Louisiana, after a double hurricane hit the area. They fed firemen in Irvine, California, after the wildfires, visited a South Los Angeles cafe to help support their weekly free grocery drive, and fed the homeless in Skid Row.
“We not only wanted to touch those in need but also just random strangers that could use a smile that day.”
Fast forward to today — the Souper Jenny Kindness Tour 2.0 launched on April 26.
Levison and Morris made their first stop in Colliersville, Tennessee to meet a very special 10-year-old girl who started her own kindness journey this year. Levison says her name is Deontra and she shows up at her favorite places, like a hospital, fire station, Target, or a local restaurant, with snack bags and drinks and simply thanks people for their service. Levison supplemented her snack bags with quarts of soup.
While in Colliersville, Levison also handed out 50 quarts of Turkey Chili to bus drivers and anyone else they came across.
Levison has her own nonprofit called The Zadie Project dedicated to feeding Atlanta’s hungry children, families, and seniors. The name honors her father, Jarvin Levison who is known as Zadie (Yiddish for grandfather).
“He is my inspiration for cooking and my motivation for getting involved in my community. He also gave me my very first soup recipe, My Dad’s Turkey Chili. In our 18 year history, it is still our most popular soup.”
Their next stop was Nashville, where they scrubbed and filled two community fridges, and showed up at the local Waffle House and other local fast-food restaurants to thank workers with free gift cards.
But Levison and Morris aren’t just about giving away free food or money, they also take the time while hiking around and exploring wherever they’re staying to just bring a smile to someone’s face by complimenting them. “Kindness is easy. Kindness can be free,” Levison says.
When the two kindness queens landed in Washington D.C. they treated 50 to 60 vaccine workers to an afternoon of pastries and coffee — just because.
“People ask how I’ve funded this and let me tell you the answer — I’m prepared to figure it out! I may end up using my paycheck to spread the kindness gospel, but humanity has been incredibly generous. People hear what we’ve been doing and they want to get involved. Sometimes, you don’t have the time to do the deed and we can do it for you!”
There were people who have donated to make both of the Kindness Tours possible via a GoFundMe page, in addition to dozens in the Atlanta community and Levison’s close family and friends, and a significant donor in Sara Blakely and The Spanx Foundation.
The tour ends May 15, if you’re interested in following along you can just use @followingsouperjenny or @Meggillentine via Instagram or Meg Gillentine Morris or Jennifer Levison on Facebook.

She has contributed to the Washington Post, Hollywood Reporter, Playboy, VICE, and more.

In recent months, celebrities have been urging fans to join them in getting vaccinated against COVID-19 by sharing videos of them receiving their shots. Dolly Parton, who helped fund the Moderna vaccine, shared a cheeky PSA that transformed her hit “Jolene” into a ballad about vaccines. Mariah Carey is also encouraging fans to get vaccinated, and she found a clever way to prove vaccine conspiracy theorists wrong.
Carey shared a one-minute video of her getting the shot on social media. The clip shows the entire process, from Carey picking out a hot pink bandage to singing one of her signature high notes. She admits that she was a little nervous at first, but everything went smoothly.
During the video, the singer also dispelled rumors that circulated after she posted a video of her first shot. Apparently, people had been saying that the needle used was retractable. Proving the shot was in fact real, she joked that getting her vaccine is the only way she’d agree to endure the unflattering florescent lights in her doctor’s office. “But we don’t care what they think. By the way, people were like, ‘Oh it’s a fake needle.’ You know,” she joked, “would I ever go into this lighting for no reason? No.”
If anyone’s in the mood for a diaper full of ’90s nostalgia, Paramount+ just released the official trailer for its upcoming revival of Rugrats, the classic Nickelodeon series featuring the adventures of Tommy Pickles and his toddler friends. Despite the obvious change in animation style that does its best to match the iconic look of the original series, the trailer shows Tommy and his pals getting all kinds of adventure (and trouble) in a way that feels, at the very least, familiar-ish.
While the kids are still voiced by their original actors, Paramount+ has brought in some heavy-hitters to voice the grown-ups, and it’s a pretty solid cast. Via Deadline:
Also joining the cast for the revival are Nicole Byer, Tony Hale and Natalie Morales, who will take on the adult roles in Paramount+’s revival. Hale will play Chuckie’s father, Morales as Phil and Lil’s mother and Byer, with Omar Miller, as Susie’s parents. Ashley Rae Spillers (Vice Principals) and Tommy Dewey, as Tommy’s parents; Anna Chlumsky and Timothy Simons, as Angelica’s parents; and Michael McKean, as Grandpa Lou Pickles round out the voice cast.
While Rugrats is one of the few to get a brand new revival series, it joins a rapidly growing list of Nickelodeon staples that includes the original Rugrats series, Hey, Arnold!, Doug, The Ren & Stimpy Show, Rocko’s Modern Life, and a whole slew of other favorites from your childhood. And for those with more juvenile tastes, a new Beavis & Butthead movie is also heading to the streaming service.
Dwayne Johnson and Matthew McConaughey, who make millions of dollars by fighting large CGI wolves and smoking weed with Snoop Dogg, respectively, have both expressed interest in becoming politicians. “I’m actually trying to look at the idea and give it serious consideration,” the Interstellar star said, while The Rock wrote on Instagram that he doesn’t think “our Founding Fathers EVER envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick up truck driving, fanny pack wearing guy joining their club – but if it ever happens it’d be my honor to serve you, the people.”
Props to Johnson and McConaughey for wanting to make a difference (although one could argue that Luke Hobbs flexing so hard that his cast breaks did more good for the world than any politician ever has), but Howard Stern has a question for both movie stars: why? Why give up acting to become politicians? “You know what it is with these guys is that they don’t understand, once you run for office, you actually have to give an opinion,” Stern said during Tuesday’s episode of The Howard Stern Show.
The SiriusXM host called Johnson the “most non-controversial human being you’ll ever meet,” which is part of his appeal. “People in the military assume The Rock is pro-military,” Stern said. “People in the police force believe The Rock is a law and order guy. People who are Trump-y believe The Rock really secretly loves Trump. The people who are liberals are going, ‘You know what? The Rock is with us.’” Johnson spoke at the 2000 Republican National Convention, but he endorsed Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
But according to Stern, once “lunkhead” Johnson has to double down on a divisive issue like abortion rights, “Oops! Suddenly people don’t like The Rock.” Stern said McConaughey would face that same dilemma when asked about school shooting and gun control. “As soon as he answers that, half of Texas is going to take him and throw him out a window,” Stern said.
A recent poll had McConaughey trouncing Texas governor Greg Abbott in a hypothetical election, but little is known about his politics. Everyone loves Matthew McConaughey as the shirtless bongos stoner guy, but when McConaughey the political shares his thoughts on the border, he risks alienating a large chunk of fans. Besides, as Stern said, “You’ve got to do a little public service before you get an important job like the governor.” He should know: he ran for governor of New York as a Libertarian candidate in 1994 before dropping out because he didn’t want to reveal his personal finances.
The music industry is a living and constantly evolving entity, as it proved last year by adapting to livestream concerts as the pandemic took over the world. Mitski is also breaking new ground for herself with her soundtrack for This Is Where We Fall, a graphic novel by Chris Miskiewicz and Vincent Kings. Today, she has shared a new selection from it: “The End,” which features narration from Miskiewicz. The instrumental has a huge anthemic rock sound to underscore Miskiewicz’s deep voice.
When the soundtrack was announced last year, Mitski offered a statement, saying, “It was exciting to make a soundtrack for a comic book. It allowed me to work outside of my usual songwriting form and try to approach it like a score, but without any of the cues that come with working alongside a moving image, which ended up being both freeing and challenging. I hope the end result helps to immerse you in the story!” Z2 publisher Josh Frankel added, “A project and partnership like this is the perfect marriage of a visual art form like comics, and music. Fans of Mitski’s music will not only get something new from one of their favorite artists, but a companion piece that completes the experience.”
The “innovative new science-fiction series” is described as delving “into complex questions on science, faith, mankind’s need to believe in something bigger than itself, while also questioning what defines the human spirit.
Listen to “The End” above.
