Year: 2022

Charli XCX is really ramping up the hype for her album Crash before it drops this Friday: She shared “Every Rule” (which she made with AG Cook and Oneohtrix Point Never) yesterday and now she’s back with a video for the single. Charli is joined in the video by Cook as they perform the song in a white, cloudy environment.

A Rolling Stone UK feature from March notes the song is about the end of a long-term relationship and that Charli said of the tune, “It’s funny when you talk about explosions, this really genuine and beautiful love story on this album is also quite traumatic to listen back to, because this is a relationship from my past that no longer exists. Even the story within how we met is quite explosive, I suppose. I really love this song because I’m just saying exactly what happened and it feels very truthful.”

Charli previously said of Crash, “There are a lot of uptempo tracks. It’s dark, it’s kind of sexy and sexual and sort of demonic at points, I suppose. But then there are lighter moments, too. But yeah, I think the whole record is about my relationship with relationships and sex and power.”

Watch the “Every Rule” video above.

Crash is out 3/18 via Atlantic Records. Pre-order it here.

Yesterday, wholesome country icon Dolly Parton took to social media to declare that she decided to “respectfully bow out” of her nomination for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. This sparked a lot of reactions; people mostly praised her for being humble while some others posed questions about the meaning of ‘rock and roll’ in the context of the Cleveland, Ohio museum.

The best reaction so far, though, may be Steve Albini’s. The revered producer, who has worked with legendary artists from Nirvana to Joanna Newsom, quote-tweeted Parton’s announcement with a simple question, a question that may indicate he has interest in working with Parton: “Dolly Parton do you like analog recording.”

The tweet is seemingly a response to the part of Parton’s statement that reads, “This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock ‘n’ roll album at some point in the future, which I have always wanted to do! My husband is a total rock ‘n’ roll freak, and has always encouraged me to do one.”

This is not too surprising; Albini is known for his antics. Last year, he admitted that when working on the seminal In Utero with Nirvana, he proposed a wager to the group, saying that if one of them could beat him in a game of pool he would produce the album for free. “I did that with every band I worked with, and no one ever took me up on the offer. It’s not like I’m a particularly good pool player, but I have an equal chance of winning in a fair game,” he said.

It never made any sense. Penelope Spheeris directed Wayne’s World, a movie released 30 years ago (there’s a nifty new Blu-ray in support of its anniversary) that, kind of unexpectedly, went on to become a massive hit and changed people’s vocabulary. (When I was in high school, if you hadn’t seen Wayne’s World you were not going to understand about half of what came out of anyone’s mouth. Even teachers were doing “…not” jokes.) What never made any sense is why Spheeris didn’t come back to direct the sequel, which came out the following year.

There’s always been rumors of a frosty relationship between Spheeris and star Mike Myers. But in even recent interviews, Spheeris has downplayed that. Even ahead, when I first bring it up she calls it an “evil urban myth.” But when I ask, then, why didn’t she direct the sequel? According to Spheeris, she was told if she didn’t make the changes that Myers wanted, she wouldn’t be approved to direct the sequel. Spheeris, as the actual director of the movie, did not make the changes, and she wasn’t invited back to make the sequel. Wayne’s World was a massive hit and we are still talking about it today. Wayne’s World 2 cost twice as much, made less than half as much money and received a tepid critical response.

Ahead, Spheeris reflects on the lasting legacy of Wayne’s World. She takes us through what happened with the sequel, an event that she says “destroyed” her. And she talks about the absolute joy of working with Chris Farley on Black Sheep, a movie she says Paramount gave to her to make up for Wayne’s World 2.

I think I was the perfect age when Wayne’s World came out…

Thirteen?

I was 17. So you think the perfect age is 13? I will say the language of this movie took over my high school.

I watched the movie the other day just to check the new 4K version that Paramount has done, which is gorgeous. And I brought my foster kid with me and she’s 18 and of course she had never seen it. And you know, what’s weird is, she was laughing even though she didn’t get some of the jokes. Like, Nuprin, you know?

Or the Flowbee?

Yeah, exactly. But, somehow, even now, most of the jokes still work obviously, but people still love the movie.

I went to high school in Kansas City and there would be this field where people would go to and just like to drink beer…

Tailgater.

And I remember distinctly, it was very cold, this movie had just come out, and everyone was listening to “Bohemian Rhapsody” and started doing the head banging thing.

Heavy metal parking lot. And I think that’s why a lot of people watch it is because it’s really kind of nostalgic of a time where life was easier, you know? And it reminds them of what fun they had back then. I think that’s why it might have had such a lasting effect, you know?

We don’t talk about Ed O’Neill’s character enough. He’s so funny.

I know. He’s funnier now than he was back then. It’s freaky.

“When you kill a man in the heat of passion, they call it murder.”

And you know what? He never broke character.

Oh, I believe that.

Like, he would sit in the corner of the donut shop, talking to himself just to stay in character. I feel like I never met the real Ed O’Neill.

“Well, the world’s a twisted place.”

Hey Mike, you’ve got it memorized, man.

I think this movie hits that specific point in time very well. Especially in the Midwest where there’s not much to do and everyone that age at that time is driving around in cars from the 1970s just like Wayne…

You could really relate to it. But you know, that doesn’t explain why the people in Tokyo… Somehow, when it went international, it did very, very well as well. And the guys in the marketing at Paramount told me, Penelope, we’ve done okay over here, we’re going to go wide international and it’s never going to do that. Well, it did.

Also Saturday Night Live wasn’t on internationally.

You know? I hate to admit, I hadn’t thought of that, but you’re right. But Paramount was smart because of what they did. Paramount made up this little booklet that they handed out at theaters in other countries that explained the language. Like they defined “schwing” or “No Way! Way!” or whatever.

Or that the word “not” is coming at a time in the sentence that is not normal.

Exactly. Right. You know, when I heard Barack Obama say “no way” in a big, national address, I went, okay, well Wayne’s World is thoroughly ingrained in our culture.

You recreate the Laverne & Shirley intro. How did that happen? Because it actually looks like the opening intro to Laverne & Shirley.

I’m 90 percent sure that the scene was not written into the original script and it was a product of an idea that Bonnie and Terry Turner, the writers, had because evidently they’d been strolling the lot and they stumbled across what used to be the set for Laverne & Shirley. Convinced everybody that it should be a part of the movie because it was like a free set sitting there on Paramount. I don’t mean to be pointing out the downers here, but the kids today don’t know Laverne & Shirley, but they find it funny anyway.

Saying they are friends with The Fonz doesn’t help?

I don’t think so. But I will tell you, I did go out with Henry right when the show was starting. Okay, I won’t go down that road. Henry Winkler. I went out with Henry right when he was just about to become a giant star. And then I cast him in a movie when we were both old. So we laughed about it.

I wouldn’t have picked up on this in high school, but rewatching I noticed how well shot it is for a movie that didn’t have to be. I think it does enhance what this movie is.

Well, thank you. And, of course, a lot of that credit goes to Theo Van de Sande, the cinematographer. But I will say this, it was a challenge dealing with writers and actors who basically had no movie-making experience and had a lot of TV experience. Because, you know, it’s very different worlds.

They’re used to looking at a four-camera system…

Right. And you know, and the wardrobe is always the same. I mean they never changed their wardrobe each show, you know? They had to hit their marks. They had to find their light. They had to get their eye line right. All that technical stuff with making a film, we sort of had to teach them. But the cool thing is I didn’t have to teach them their characters because they knew them so well, you know?

Reading some of the recent interviews you’ve done, you’ve kind of downplayed the friction between you and Mike Myers. Which, I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I believe because it’s not like he’s known now as being this easy guy to work with. So is them knowing their characters so well a problem? If you give suggestions then I’m assuming that creates tension?

I never really challenged his interpretation of the character. And I think it’s kind of an evil, urban myth that people believe that we didn’t get along on the set.

Well, it’s hard not to notice that you didn’t do the sequel. Wayne’s World was a huge blockbuster and everyone loved it and obviously you’re a huge part of that and it makes no sense that you didn’t do the second one, which isn’t as good and did not do as well.

Well, just if you close your eyes, you could imagine how disheartened and disappointed I was. You know, when both the studio and Lorne said to me, Penelope, if you don’t make the changes that Mike wants, he will not approve you for Wayne’s World 2. I had to make that really heavy-duty decision, you know?

Well, in retrospect, do you feel you made the right one? I mean, you’re the one with the classic movie we are still talking about.

Well, yeah. I mean, and also the other thing is I thought they were trying to make a sequel a little too quickly, but you know, I have no control over that.

Sure.

But I just felt, honestly, just on a personal level, kind of, well, I was destroyed, let’s use that word. When I was told I couldn’t continue working with them, but you know what? I’m grateful for that event because boy did it make me tough. I am so strong. Now I can take any rejection you may have to offer. Thank you.

What’s weird is you hear about stories like this quite a bit, but it feels like most of the time when the movie is as big a hit as it is, people settle their differences and just say, look, we had some disagreements on the first one, but the proof is in the pudding. And it’s weird that did not happen.

Well, it is weird, but you know what? Paramount did do that. Mike didn’t. Paramount gave me Black Sheep with Chris Farley. And it was so much fun to me, that one, too. But you know, here’s the freaky part. When I was having that issue with Mike about directing the second Wayne’s World, he didn’t have a history of being difficult. So I was the only one going, “this guy’s kind of a pain in the ass,” you know?

Oh, I see. So people were like, well, these two just don’t get along for whatever reason. Then later there are more stories…

I mean, yeah, I felt like I was the only one that had a problem. But then later, you’re right. You know, karma came down and blah, blah, blah. But I think if you wait long enough, as my mother used to say, it all comes out in the wash.

Have you had any conversation with Mike or Dana since then? Like a real conversation? Or maybe even in passing like at some premiere or something?

Well, we had a 25-year celebration at the Academy and they were all there and there was a huge reception beforehand and they left me alone in the room to kind of shake everybody’s hand and they, all the guys, were upstairs and they didn’t come down. It was me and Lara Flynn Boyle wondering where the hell are these guys, you know? And then, finally, when the photographers were going to take pictures, all the guys came down and got their pictures taken. Then the Academy showed the movie. But as we were walking to the stage, I said to Lorne, “Lorne, I have to tell you something very important.” And you know, Lorne doesn’t like confrontation. And that’s what he was expecting. And he looks frightened, “What, what is it?” And I said, “You made me a very rich woman.” And he said, “Oh, well, that’s a good thing. Isn’t it?”

You mentioned Black Sheep. It was a good experience?

Oh, it was a wonderful experience and working with Chris was awesome. And he was never loaded when we were working. He always asked me if he could leave early and go to AA meetings. I’m like, of course, man, you just go, because I’ll figure out a way to shoot the rest of the day without you, don’t worry. And it was a real, real pleasure working with him. Spade got a little mad at me because I would shoot more closeups on Farley than Spade.

I bet it feels good every time there’s an election when they play that Farley scene with him on stage telling people to vote.

Oh yeah. Yeah. He’s awesome. He was awesome. He was such a sweetheart.

The 2022 NCAA Tournament brings a refreshing set of normalcy, with fan bases across the country tuned into the festivities beginning in mid-March. While all four regions have exciting college basketball teams, each features high-end prospects in advance of the 2022 NBA Draft, and that is especially true of the West Region. The stars are out in a big way in the West, including the No. 1 overall seed Gonzaga, a star-studded No. 2 seed in Duke, and other squads that are chocked full of talent.

DIME will be rolling out a pre-tournament look at each of the regions from a draft prospect and, in this space, we’ll touch on the top five prospects from the West Region. Up first? Gonzaga big man Chet Holmgren.

Chet Holmgren – C/F, Gonzaga

Not everyone is in love with Holmgren, largely because is incredibly skinny at 7’0 and less than 200 pounds. Beyond that, though, Holmgren has been one of the most efficient players in the country this season, and his defensive feel as a rim protector is absolutely outstanding. He’ll need to put on some muscle mass, as everyone knows, but Holmgren’s combination of length, acumen, shooting profile, and positional flexibility makes him a clear candidate for No. 1 overall.

Paolo Banchero – F, Duke

Banchero isn’t exactly a secret, as many had him No. 1 entering college. It isn’t as if Banchero has struggled either, operating as Duke’s most reliable offensive player and the head of the snake for the Blue Devils. On the flip side, he is shooting only 30.6 percent from three-point range and might not be a true No. 1 option on offense. He’s also a pure power forward, which is a bit out of place in the current NBA, but Banchero also has the ability to be the best player on a Final Four team. That wouldn’t be a bad thing for his Draft stock if he can get Duke out of this region.

AJ Griffin – F/G, Duke

It hasn’t been a steady season for Griffin, who had a very slow start coming back from injury. Since he reestablished himself, Griffin has shot the lights out (46.7 percent from three) and showcased his athleticism and feel. He is 6’6, strong, lengthy and able to scale up and down the lineup. It would be helpful for his stock if he had a few big offensive games, but scouts are already tantalized by what happens when it all comes together.

Jalen Duren – C, Memphis

As Memphis has come alive, so has Duren. Over the last two months, he is averaging 14 points, nine rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game, shooting more than 60 percent and flashing his mammoth defensive upside. The 18-year-old has a reported 7’5 wingspan, and scouts will undoubtedly be intrigued if he ends up facing Holmgren in the second round. Regardless, Duren also projects as a player that should look better in the NBA with more spacing and improved guard play around him. He’s already good now, which helps.

Mark Williams – C, Duke

There is a bit of a drop-off after the top four to Williams, with his teammate Trevor Keels and Alabama guard JD Davison among the contenders. The NBA is already falling in love with Williams, though, as the big man has been a defensive force for Duke. He is blocking nearly three shots per game (in 22.9 minutes), and Williams is finishing at more than a 70 percent clip. He is certainly a traditional big man that doesn’t space the floor, but Williams is extremely long, active, and productive.

It feels a little unbelievable, but just one week from today will mark the sixth anniversary of Phife Dawg’s death. It’s a sobering sentiment, but the load is lightened by an announcement by the late rapper’s estate last year: March 22 will also mark the release of his long-awaited posthumous album, Forever. Today, his co-producer on the album, DJ Rasta Root, shared the album’s cover art and tracklist, which features a who’s-who of longtime collaborators and friends, including Angel Winbush, De La Soul, Dwele, Little Brother, Lyric Jones, Rapsody, and, of course, his A Tribe Called Quest brother in rhyme, Q-Tip.

Production on the album will be handled by 9th Wonder, J Dilla, Khrysis, Nottz, Potatohead People, and more. So far, only two singles from the album have been released: the Busta Rhymes and Redman-featuring “Nutshell Part 2” and “French Kiss Deux,” which features the late J Dilla’s younger brother Illa J. Both revealed an aesthetic similar to latter-day Tribe production, with stripped-down, funk-driven beats custom-made to show off Phife’s easygoing flow.

The road to the album’s release has been kind of a bumpy one; though initially announced almost five years ago, it has certainly taken a while to prepare, with the album getting pushed back to 2021, then pushed back again to 2022. But, the wait is almost over now, and from the looks of things, the project will be well worth it.

It’s nearly impossible for many of us to imagine living in a country where the so-called “mainstream media” and right-wing propaganda machines are one in the same. A place where tyrannical leaders and oligarchs are the ones dictating and force-feeding the “news” aka alternative reality to their citizens. But that’s exactly what it’s like for the people of Russia, who are restricted from accessing even social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and now Instagram, out of fear that they will understand what is really happening in their country, and how the world is reacting to the current Russia Ukraine War.

But every once in a while, a courageous individual comes along and risks their own personal safety for the sake of their country. Which is exactly what Marina Ovsyannikova, an editor for Russia’s Channel 1, did on Monday. During a live broadcast, Ovsyannikova suddenly appeared on viewers’ screens, holding up a sign that read “Stop the war! Don’t believe propaganda! They’re lying to you here!” while yelling, “No to war! Stop the war!”

Ovsyannikova only managed to get about five seconds of screen time until the camera cut to some stock footage of a hospital. She was promptly arrested and charged with “discrediting the Russian armed forces.” As of Tuesday morning, a number of well-respected media outlets, including The Washington Post, were reporting that Ovsyannikova had gone missing and could not be located, according to her lawyers. However, as The Daily Beast reports, she has now resurfaced—and for unknown reasons won’t be charged with violating the newly installed “fake news” laws, which could have meant spending up to 15 years in prison. Instead, she’s looking at up to 10 days in prison for a much lesser offense.

While there’s no explanation yet for how and why Ovsyannikova fortunately managed to escape a much harsher punishment, we do know that her act of bravery has left much of Russia stunned. As Raw Story reports, Anderson Cooper spoke with Yakov Kronrod, an American citizen who traveled to Russia before Putin invaded Ukraine in order to take care of his ailing grandmother. Konrod, who is now working to get his grandmother out of Russia, said that the enormity of Ovsyannikova’s act was too big to ignore, and that even other state-run media outlets were reporting on it, noting:

“It sends shock waves through all of Russian society. Yandex News had a story about it, and they rarely have anything that’s against the main narrative. Her Facebook page was getting thousands of people commenting every minute. Literally, it exploded. Everyone was texting each other, calling each other saying, did you see? Did you see what happened? And many of the human rights activists that I’m talking to feel this may very well be the start of the wave to see someone like that Channel 1 has 250 million viewers, it’s the number one watched station by most common Russians. For a lot of Russians, this was the first time they saw any dissenting voice.”

Netflix‘s newest action-thriller features an unlikely cop duo teaming up to chase some bad guys, as chaos undoubtedly ensues. The Takedown is the latest film by director Loius Leterrier, known for Lupin and the incredible (depending on who you ask) thriller, Now You See Me.

The Takedown features Omar Sy and Laurent Lafitte as two former cop partners who drifted over time, leading them to have very different policing styles. They team up for a rollercoaster investigation that takes them all the way up the French Alps (while wearing a seatbelt, of course). What started as a basic drug deal turns out to be a thrilling criminal case, wrapped in danger and complete with some unexpected comedy and banter between the two former friends.

Sy also stars in Leterrier’s hit Netflix crime series Lupin, and his performance garnered a Golden Globe nomination. He is also starring in the upcoming Jurrasic World installment, Jurrasic Worl Domination. Lafitte is known for his various roles in French cinema, including the thriller Elle and Boomerang. Sy and Lafitte are also slated to star alongside each other in the upcoming action-comedy, Tower of Strength.

The Takedown drops on April 7th on Netflix. Check out the trailer above.

Ever since the Ms. Marvel trailer blasted online with a first look at the new Disney+ series in action, fans have been sounding off about the very noticeable change to the hero’s powers. In the comics, Kamala Khan (a.k.a. Ms. Marvel) is able to shape-shift and stretch thanks to being exposed to Terrigen mist that activated her latent Inhuman genes. Considering Marvel’s first crack at a live-action Inhumans flopped pretty badly, it’s understandable why Ms. Marvel would want to lean away from the source material. Not to mention, it saves the show from having to explain what the heck an Inhuman even is, and how they’re different from Eternals and mutants. It’d be a whole thing.

As for Kamala’s new powers, they seem to be more “cosmic” in origin and similar to Captain Marvel‘s, who Kamala idolizes in the series. As Entertainment Weekly notes, there’s also a touch of Doctor Strange in there, which is also a deviation from the comics:

Instead of stretching and shape-changing, the Ms. Marvel trailer shows Kamala manipulating energy into blasts, forcefields, and the kind of mid-air stepping stones that we’ve seen Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) use in past MCU films. There are a couple shots where energy envelops Kamala’s hands, which could give her the same kind of powerful punches she wields in the comics, but clearly it all works a bit differently.

Considering the Ms. Marvel comics were a breakout success for Marvel — which is not an easy accomplishment in a extremely crowded landscape dominated by heavy-hitters like Batman, The Avengers, etc. — it’s understandable that fans of the comics have concerns about the change to Kamala’s powers. There was a thematic resonance to her abilities in the books, and so far, fans are not seeing that come through in the trailer.

And there are also Internet theories that Kamala’s powers were changed so she wouldn’t steal Mr. Fantastic’s thunder (he stretches, too) when the Fantastic Four finally make their MCU debut.

You can see some of the reactions below:

Ms. Marvel premieres June 8 on Disney+.

A couple weeks ago, Japanese Breakfast (aka Michelle Zauner) announced she had to change her international touring plans for this year “due to lingering uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 travel protocols.” UK and European dates were rescheduled from March to October, although shows in some cities (Cologne, Hamburg, Antwerp, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, and Copenhagen) were unable to be rescheduled and were therefore canceled. Zauner also noted, “I am truly devastated we can not make it work at this time but I promise we will be back as soon as possible.”

Now, instead of going overseas this month, Zauner has a full schedule of South By Southwest (SXSW) appearances lined up between March 16 and 19, a rundown of which she shared on social media today. This upset at least one fan on Twitter, as they accused Zauner of canceling/rescheduling the UK/Europe shows so she could go to SXSW. Zauner then took the time to address their tweets, which shed light on what it’s like for her to tour overseas and reschedule or cancel concerts.

The fan wrote, “so this is why you didn’t come to europe,” so Zauner replied over the course of multiple tweets:

“there are so many reasons that we weren’t able to come to Europe and this was not one of them. It’s mostly we are a band/crew of 10 people and if one of us got sick over there we would just not be able to afford the financial risk of properly taking care of our team.

It’s been really upsetting to see comments like this because I want nothing more than to travel to Europe and get to play over there but the reality is we lose thousands of dollars when we tour there because the overhead of backline/flights/visas is so high. Even pre covid building our fan base there has always been a labor of love. But now the the risk is even higher and so we are just hoping for the best that the path is clearer for all of us in October.”

That same fan replied, “we understand all these things, what bothers us is how you hid this information from us until only a week and a half before the start of the tour, after you had announced dates in the US, I love the band, I have been listening for years and i really hope i can see you someday but hope you can understand our point as well.”

Zauner responded, “I do and I’m sorry! But please know we do try our best and touring is just so hard rn. We’ve been given no protocol or guidance this whole time and just have to use our best judgment. I really hope we can make it to Madrid soon I’ve never been and want to go so bad [crying emoji].”

She also noted in other replies, “My agents and managers had to completely rebook the tour. We waited so long because we were working with so many different venues and promoters with constantly shifting schedules to get ticket links up so we would be able to ticket sales to transfer. I checked in on them every day wanting to go up with the news so as not to disrupt people’s travel plans as much as possible but it just takes time. The reason we leave it vague is because so many people argue with us without knowing everything that goes into it.”

On Tuesday evening, PBS will premiere Putin’s Road to War, a new FRONTLINE documentary that will “examine the events that shaped Russian leader [Vladimir Putin], the grievances that drive him, and how a growing conflict with the West exploded into war in Europe.” Ahead of its official debut, Frontline shared an in-depth conversation with Julia Ioffe, a founding partner and Washington correspondent for Puck News, and veteran of The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and Politico.

In it, Ioffe—an American journalist who was born in Russia—shares some fascinating insights into Putin’s state of mind, including why she believes that he, right now, is “more dangerous than he’s ever been at any point in the last 22 years.”

“What he has opened up with this invasion is unthinkable,” Ioffe told FRONTLINE. “And because he is losing and because the sanctions and the Ukrainians are humiliating him, because he is backed into a corner, he is the most dangerous he has ever been, because it is now existential for him.”

While many people seem to be downplaying Putin’s threats of nuclear war, Ioffe is sending up a warning signal that this is something we should all be taking very seriously:

“[W]hen Putin threatens the use of nuclear weapons—he threatened it the first time he declared war… He threatened again three days into the war when he saw it wasn’t going well. He threatened it in 2018, when he went to that air show and he gave that crazy presentation about all the new nuclear weapons he had that could strike the U.S. If people think that he won’t use them, I think they’re mistaken.

Everything Putin has showed us at every step of the last 22 years is that every time we think he won’t go that far, he does. We think he won’t come back for a third term, he did. He won’t annex Crimea; he did. He won’t invade Ukraine; he did. He won’t try to kill [Alexei] Navalny; he did. He won’t try to subvert an American election; he did. And so why would we believe that this time he won’t do what he says he’ll do?”

You can watch Ioffe’s full interview above (the referenced Putin conversation begins toward the end, around the 45:00 mark).

Putin’s Road to War premieres tonight on PBS.
