The second season of Reacher begins with Alan Ritchson’s title character thwarting a car jacking in process (and subsequently freaking out a thrift-store clerk). Granted, Jack Reacher does not want to “get involved,” so he will leave the scene before cops arrive, but he will make sure to beat the holy hell out of said criminal. This actually isn’t too far off base from how Ritchson confronted a car robbery in process, and even though Alan’s wife asked him not to get involved, he totally did just that.

Ritchson told Canada’s etalk outlet about the situation, which began with him all dressed up on a Montreal date with his very patient wife, Catherine. She first spotted a perpetrator who had broken glass on a vehicle (and was going to town), and she asked Alan not to intervene, but yeah, he couldn’t help himself.

He described going into “Instant Reacher mode” as such: “I was like, ‘Some justice has to be done here,’ and I chased that dude like four blocks until I tossed him into a building, and the cops came. She was very mad at me.”

Picture that happening. And then picture Catherine’s face after she already puts up with her husband pulling a fast one with Popeyes in between protein shakes. It can’t be easy being married to the dude who portrays a walking brick sh*thouse, but I imagine there are a few perks, too. Like, maybe he serenaded her and dressed up like a certain Caped Crusader to smooth over their ruined date. It could happen!

In November, The Smile dropped the title track to their forthcoming album, Wall Of Eyes. Today (January 9), the group has delivered the second offering from their highly-anticipated sophomore album. On their new single, “Friend Of A Friend,” The Smile ditches their spooky theatrics from the lead single, instead opting for a fuzzy psychedelic sound produced by Sam Petts-Davies.

As an examination of the love’s hypnotizing effects, the band’s frontman, Thom Yorke, injects that sense of uncomfortable longing into his vocal performance. “I can go anywhere that I want / I just gotta turn myself inside out and back to front / With cut out shapes and worn out spaces / Add some sparkles to create the right effect / They’re all smiling, so I guess I’ll stay / At least ’til the disappointed have eaten themselves away,” sings Yorke.

Listen to The Smile’s new song “Friend Of A Friend” above.

New music isn’t the only thing The Smile will make available for fans to enjoy later this month. Before Wall Of Eyes’ release, The Smile will host several theater screenings worldwide, including in New York City, Los Angeles, London, and Tokyo, to debut the project’s visual component. Between January 18 and 25, select independent cinemas will show The Smile’s Wall of Eyes, On Film, a collection of never-before-seen footage of the album’s recording sessions, Thom Yorke and Radiohead’s directorial collaborations, and more. Find more information here.

Wall Of Eyes is out 1/26 via XL Recordings. Find more information here.

The 2024 music festival season is shaping up to be yet another one for the history books. Today (January 9), organizers of Boston Calling announced the official lineup for this year’s festivities. Across Memorial Day weekend (May 24 to 26), the annual multi-day event will take over the city’s Harvard Athletic Complex with headliner performances ranging from pop, indie, and soul acts alike.

On opening night, Friday, May 24, Ed Sheeran and Leon Bridges will close things out. Tyler Childers and Trey Anastasio & Classic Tab will do the honors on the following day, Saturday, May 25. Closing night, May 26, The Killers and Hozier are set to end things with a band.

Other notable names on the lineup include Mean Girls‘ Reneé Rapp, Luke Hemmings, Madi Diaz, Ric Wilson, Khruangbin, Frank Truner & The Sleeping Souls, Jessie Murph, d4vd, Megan Thee Stallion, The Revivalists, Lovejoy, and Blondshell. View the full lineup below.

Boston Calling Music Festival 2024 is set to take place from May 24 to 26 at the Harvard Athletic Complex. Presale for the festival will begin on Thursday, January 11 at 10 a.m. Eastern. The public sale will kick off days later based on the remaining availability. Find more information here.

Sinéad O’Connor passed away back in July, at the age of 56. Now, the singer’s cause of death has been revealed.

What was Sinéad O’Connor’s cause of death?

O’Connor died from natural causes, according to a statement from the London Inner South Coroner’s Court (via People).

At the time of O’Connor’s passing, she had been found unresponsive at home. However, “no medical cause of death was given” initially and the coroner requested an autopsy.

“The decision whether an inquest will be needed will be decided when these results are known and submissions have been heard from the family,” their statement added. It was also noted that her death was not viewed as suspicious.

O’Connor’s family were the ones who originally broke the news of her death last summer. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” they wrote. “Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”

Now that the singer’s cause of death has been made public, the court are reportedly no longer involved in it.

Throughout O’Connor’s career, her 1990 hit cover, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” was nominated for Record Of The Year at the Grammys. She ended her musical run with a final album in 2014.

The top of the year usually marks the unofficial start of festival season, as that’s when the major events tend to start rolling out their lineups. Now, one of North America and the world’s biggest events, Bonnaroo, has unveiled its 2024 lineup.

It’s led by headlining sets from Pretty Lights and Fisher on Thursday, June 13; Post Malone on Friday the 14th; Red Hot Chili Peppers on Saturday the 15th; and Fred Again.. on Sunday the 16th.

Elsewhere on the poster are Megan Thee Stallion, Cage The Elephant, Maggie Rogers, Melanie Martinez, Khruangbin, Cigarettes After Sex, Jason Isbell And The 400 Unit, Diplo, Carly Rae Jepsen, Fisher, Jon Batiste, Dominic Fike, Parcels, Idles, Joey Badass, Lizzy McAlpine, T-Pain, Interpol, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Two Friends, Taking Back Sunday, Gary Clark Jr., TV Girl, Thundercat, Ashnikko, Brittany Howard, and more.

As for tickets, presale begins on January 11 at 10 a.m. CT, and those interested can sign up for a presale passcode at bonnaroo.com/tickets. If there are any tickets left after the presale, a public on-sale will follow.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

January has become the unofficial festival lineup announcement month, with lineups for BottleRock and Boston Calling already announced and those for Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Governors Ball all expected to drop in the coming weeks (or days).

Today, Boston Calling announced its lineup for 2024 with headliners including Ed Sheeran, Leon Bridges, The Killers, Hozier, and more. You can see the full lineup flyer below.

When Do The 2024 Boston Calling Festival Tickets Go On Sale?

The presale for Boston Calling tickets begins on Thursday, January 11 at 10 am ET.

When Is Boston Calling 2024?

Boston Calling 2024 is scheduled for Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26.

Where Is Boston Calling 2024?

The festival is billed for the grounds of the Harvard Athletic Complex.

Who Is Headlining Boston Calling 2024?

Ed Sheeran, Leon Bridges, Tyler Childers, Trey Anastasio & Classic Tab, The Killers, and Hozier are all billed to headline the 2024 edition of Boston Calling.

How Much Are Boston Calling 2024 Tickets?

While the tickets for the 2024 festival have not yet gone on sale, three-day passes for the 2023 festival headlined by Foo Fighters, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Lumineers, Alanis Morisette, Paramore, and Queens Of The Stone Age were listed at $205 a few days before the festival.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

In a minor upset, The Boy and The Heron won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film over presumed frontrunner Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. “This is the first Golden Globe awarded to a Studio Ghibli film and it is a very special feeling,” Studio Ghibli president Toshio Suzuki said in a statement. “I hope the bright news of winning such an award can bring a smile to everyone’s face, even if only a little.” Meanwhile, director Hayao Miyazaki probably celebrated by asking, “What are the Golden Globes?”

The Boy and The Heron is yet another masterpiece from Miyazaki and should be seen on the biggest screen possible, especially because, as of this moment, there is no digital or streaming release date. Maybe sometime in the spring? Until then, you can find out where it’s playing here.

Here’s more:

After losing his mother during the war, young Mahito moves to his family’s estate in the countryside. There, a series of mysterious events lead him to a secluded and ancient tower, home to a mischievous gray heron. When Mahito’s new stepmother disappears, he follows the gray heron into the tower, and enters a fantastic world shared by the living and the dead. As he embarks on an epic journey with the heron as his guide, Mahito must uncover the secrets of this world, and the truth about himself.

The Japanese voice cast is led by Soma Santoki, Masaki Suda, Ko Shibasaki, Aimyon, Yoshino Kimura, Takuya Kimura, Kaoru Kobayashi, and Shinobu Otake, while the English voice cast includes Christian Bale, Dave Bautista, Gemma Chan, Willem Dafoe, Karen Fukuhara, Mark Hamill, Robert Pattinson (who is so good at being a weird lil guy), and Florence Pugh.

You can watch the trailer below.

If you were hoping to see Adam Driver return to a galaxy far, far away. Don’t hold your breath. Granted, Kylo Ren is dead, that hasn’t stopped Star Wars from mining characters for prequel stories and/or Force ghost cameos like Hayden Christensen‘s appearances in both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka.

Driver confirmed that he’s done with the Star Wars franchise while talking to the Smartless podcast. However, the actor mostly blamed himself for making his work in the Sequel Trilogy more difficult than it needed to be.

Via Variety:

“‘Star Wars’ was way more exhausting for me … I made it more exhausting than it should have been,” Driver added. “I hadn’t quite figured out the momentum of a set that was that big before. All the things I had worked on were pretty small and moved pretty fast … The director sets the pace of the set. I don’t like to control that. I have to adjust. Spike Lee and [Steven] Soderbergh shoot really fast. For me that’s not comfortable, but it’s their movie and their film so I adjust.”

Not for nothing, Driver also revealed last month that there were some significant changes to Kylo Ren’s arc, and The Rise of Skywalker took the character in a direction that was not the story he was pitched.

“The last one, it changed into being, you know, about them and the dyad, and things like that,” Driver told The Rich Eisen Show. “And evolving into Ben Solo. That was never a part of it. He was Ben Solo from the beginning, but there was never a version where we’d see Ben Solo when I first signed up for it.”

Paul Giamatti is a relatable icon for going to In-N-Out Burger after winning a Golden Globe for his extremely good performance in The Holdovers (if he took the french fries home and plopped them into the toaster oven to make them more crispy, even better). Less relatable, but equally iconic, is that he’s dating the actress who played his dominatrix on Billions, Clara Wong.

The relationship was confirmed during Giamatti’s acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. “I want to say, I love my beautiful girlfriend Clara Wong. Why you bother with me, I don’t know why,” he said (this was after he noted that “surely this is the first time this award has been given to an actor who has played a man who smells like fish”).

It’s unclear how long Paul and Clara have been dating, but they’ve worked together for years. She has appeared in seven episodes of his Showtime series Billions, dating all the way back to season one in 2016.

Specifically, she played Troy, a dominatrix visited by Giamatti’s character, Chuck.

Wong shared a picture of Giamatti (in a Dolphins hat) on his birthday last year.

And in 2022:
