By now, you’ve been properly welcomed to Wrexham with Welcome To Wrexham, the docuseries from Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. It seems like you’re not alone in that — the series was just renewed for a fourth season in the middle of its current third season, so we can safely say these soccer/football players aren’t going anywhere, despite Reynolds’ overly busy schedule.
Even though season four of Welcome To Wrexham is already shaping up, season three is still in full swing. There are three more episodes in the season, and a new one will drop this week.
Episode five will air on FX on Thursday, May 23rd at 10 pm. The episode also airs again an hour later at 11 pm for those of you who prefer to be fashionably late. Like previously episodes, it will debut on Hulu and Disney+ the next day, Friday, May 24th by 3 am ET.
Here is the official synopsis for episode five, which is titled, “Temporary.”
99-year-old Wrexham fan Arthur Massey reflects on his life as a supporter as his 100th birthday approaches and the Club continues to struggle with the new Kop football stand.
Aside from Wrexham and the upcoming Deadpool installment, Reynolds is currently starring inIF, the family flick which hit theaters last week. What can’t he do?! Buy an NHL team, apparently.
South Park: The End of Obesity, the seventh South Park special on Paramount Plus, is about weight loss drugs like Ozempnic taking over the mountain town. But “when Cartman is denied access to the life-changing medicine, the kids jump into action,” the official description reads.
Cartman must not be denied for too long:
The advent of new weight loss drugs has a huge impact on everyone in South Park. When Cartman is denied access to the life-changing medicine, the kids jump into action.
This technically isn’t the first time we’ve seen Cartman looking not-big boned, but the other instance involved him looking emaciated on a cross like Jesus, so, yeah, not sure how much that counts. I don’t know why it’s upsetting to see Cartman this way when he basically looks like Stan in Cartman’s clothing, but it is. I’m not the only one, either.
Below, you’ll find South Park fans reacting to skinny Cartman.
South Park: The End of Obesity premieres on Paramount Plus (the home of the other South Park specials, including The Streaming Wars) on May 24. You can watch the teaser below.
Hacks keeps power-breezing through this season, and before you know it, we’ll be waiting for a fourth season announcement. That’s the price we’re paying for authentic comedy, and it’s worth it. Last week, a domineering Christina Hendricks appeared in the episode that, according to Mad Men devotees, should score her an Emmy nomination. Now, it’s time for another pair of entries before the season finale arrives.
When Do ‘Hacks’ Season 3, Episodes 7 & 8 Come Out?
The two newest episodes will stream on Thursday, May 24 at 3:00am EST/12:00am PST.
In Episode 7, “The Deborah Vance Christmas Spectacular,” we shall see this madness happen: “Deborah braces for Kathy’s attendance at her Christmas party, while Jimmy and Kayla refuse to call it quits on the comedian’s dreams.”
In Episode 8, “Yes, And,” expect even more chaos: “A calendar mix-up finds Deborah double booked… just as an unfortunate supercut of her most problematic early jokes starts circulating.”
That second episode could really be any week in Deborah Vance’s life, right? And somehow, this show manages to keep that dance feeling nimble while Ava and the rest of Deborah’s team continue to sweep up her disastrous trail of yesteryear, and she manages to be the only character on this show who is (arguably) messier than Ava. No wonder they work so well together.
Music ranking lists always prove controversial, and Apple Music‘s Top 100 Albums Of All Time list is no exception. Over the course of the past two weeks, the music streaming platform had taken to the streamer and to its social handles to reveal their picks for best albums of all time, day-by-day.
While the criteria on which the rankings were placed has been kept relatively quiet, those who made the selections were evidently given specific instructions.
How did Apple Music make their Top 100 Albums Of All Time list?
The Apple Music Top 100 Albums Of All Time List was curated by Apple Music’s internal team. Though it’s not clear who, specifically, made these rankings, nor the number of people who put the list together, the team was given a strict set of guidelines. According to Ebro Darden, who is the Global Editorial Head of Hip-Hop and R&B for Apple Music, members of the Apple Music team made their picks based on:
* Albums that represented a cultural moment for the artist or genre.
* Albums that were complete thoughts, not just collections of hit songs.
* Albums that thoroughly represent culture in production and lyrics.
* Albums that inspired a generation to want to create more music.
* Albums that represent the BEST in storytelling, musicianship, recording and production.
* Albums that are timeless and reached far beyond the genre categorization.
Voters of the #100Best on @AppleMusic were challenged to not vote for our favorites, but ..
* Albums that represented a cultural moment for the artist or genre.

Friend included details on what each network will get, but the most interesting nugget was on why the league is headed to NBC and not coming back to TNT and Warner Bros. Discovery — pending potential litigation. According to Friend, ESPN locked down the “A” rights by doubling their offer in the exclusive negotiation window, but WBD wasn’t willing to do the same for their “B” rights package.
It is also becoming clearer how WBD reached this perilous point in negotiations. During Disney’s and WBD’s exclusive negotiating window from mid-March to April 22, industry sources said Disney was firm about not letting the “A” package go on the open market. So it doubled its old rights fee of $1.4B annually to $2.8B.
But those same sources said Zaslav — whose company paid $1.2B for NBA media rights a decade ago — believed he would only have to pay between $1.8B and $2.1B to retain the “B” package this time around and refused to double to $2.4B. That is why the bidding ventured into the marketplace and why NBC leaped in. If WBD does, in fact, lose the NBA, 2024-25 will be its final season under the current deal.
Now, NBC is reportedly paying $2.6 billion for those rights and the NBA is asking $2.8 billion from WBD to match for a variety of reasons (and could end up leading to a court battle). Given what the deal ended up being, it certainly sounds from this reporting that WBD undervalued the rights deal they had and the NBA called their bluff and were able to take it to NBC and get even more. There is still a chance WBD ends up with a piece of the pie, but to do so they’ll have to pay more than they would’ve a few months ago. If not, playing hardball will cost them the NBA and cost us Inside the NBA.
For months, 50 Cent has been needling his beleaguered rival mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has come under both public and federal scrutiny after several lawsuits were filed against him alleging sexual misconduct. Today, 50 reported another win in his one-sided battle with Diddy, as the documentary he has been touting since the beginning of the drama has reportedly been bought by Netflix after a bidding war among streamers for its broadcast rights.
According to TMZ, 50 produced the doc through his G-Unit Film and Television Studios, and is expected to begin streaming “sooner rather than later.”
Meanwhile, Combs, still reeling from the leak of a hotel security video that captured an assault on his ex Cassie Ventura, was hit with a sixth lawsuit today. Filed by former model Crystal McKinney, the latest suit alleges that Diddy forced McKinney to give him oral sex after drugging her at a New York Fashion Week party when she was 22.
The latest suit came after federal authorities raided several of Diddy’s properties while investigating claims of sex trafficking leveled against the Bad Boy founder in one of the lawsuits against him. However, Diddy can’t be charged for the 2016 hotel assault on Cassie, due to an expired statute of limitations.
Dirty Hit usually brings to mind English pop artists like Pale Waves, Beabadoobee, and The 1975, but, now, the label is also cashing in on post-punk. Been Stellar, a quintet based in New York City, blends incendiary riffs, biting songwriting, and caustic delivery, all with a melodic bent that also appeals to the pop-minded listener.
Their debut album, Scream From New York, NY, plays like a highlight reel of Been Stellar’s many strengths. Consisting of vocalist Sam Slocum, guitarists Skyler Knapp and Nando Dale, drummer Laila Wayans, and bassist Nico Brunstein, this band is an American counterpart to the massive wave of great British post-punk, such as Shame, Dry Cleaning, and Black Midi, that has been a predominant subgenre of the 2020s thus far.
Ahead of the record’s release on June 21, Been Stellar sat down with Uproxx to talk about Blink-182, ping-pong, and their love of South America in our latest Q&A.
What are four words you would use to describe your music?
Skyler: We’re here, we exist.
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?
Skyler: I’d like it not to be “remembered” but listened to. When you hear good music, the time period and context doesn’t matter. If something real is made, I like to think it burns itself outside of linear time.
Who’s the person who has most inspired your work, and why?
Skyler: Basquiat is always my creative North Star. Even though my favorite things he’s done aren’t musical (although his recordings with Gray are very cool) his relationship with language and imagery always pushes me to make something that matters. As of late, Elliot Smith has also started to reach those ranks as well.
Where did you eat the best meal of your life, and what was it?
Sam: We had fish and chips on the coast, driving into Glasgow a couple summers ago. Life-changing.
Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.
Sam: When Sky and I were in high school, we went to go see a band named PUP play in Grand Rapids, MI. It was the first ‘punk’ show I had been to, and I just remember how sweaty we got. Great live band.
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?
Nando: I’d say probably when we slept in this person’s house in Denver during the Catcher tour. The host was this sort of Burning Man-esque techno DJ, and we arrived after driving overnight from Chicago for 16 hours, and he was mixing trance music, and there were just a bunch of dudes hanging out there. I remember he had a massive jug of water that apparently had bleach in it, and it was just standing on the kitchen counter, so some of us got close to drinking it, could’ve been bad. But nonetheless, we were happy to have a place to stay for free for the night.
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform, and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?
Nico: Personally, my favorite city that we’ve performed in is Madrid, but the best shows we play tend to be in London or other cities in the UK. We all really loved our show in Hull a couple of years back. I think we all really want to perform in Tokyo or anywhere in Japan soon, and I would love for us to make it to Buenos Aires as well.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
Nando: things take time, don’t try to rush or force anything. Just do your thing, be yourself, and eventually things will make more sense and fall into place.
What’s one of your hidden talents?
Nando: I am really good at ping-pong, like insanely good.
If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?
Nico: Probably to help send food where it’s needed.
What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?
Nico: I think it could be a great tool to enhance and inspire different creative avenues that maybe someone would not have gone down, but I think the overall fear of using it as a crutch is obviously there. Chord packs and other tools out there especially for solo producers and songwriters are already out there and my hope is the same with them, is that people will learn how music works through using them rather than relying too heavily on them.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location it would be held.
Laila: I would throw a music festival at a skate park and the lineup would be:
System of a Down
Lazer Dim 700
Black Eyed Peas
Ice Spice
Mexican Slum Rats
Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?
Sam: Evan Dando’s YouTube is pretty interesting.
What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?
Laila: I have a couple tattoos, but my favorite is this one that says “I love life” in the palm of my hand. I got it from this really cool artist named Sandy (@iluvvvlife) in LA. It was the most painful 10 minutes of my life but it was worth it.
What is your pre-show ritual?
Laila: We huddle in a circle and take deep 3 breaths all together.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Nico: Natalie Portman from the Star Wars prequels.
You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?
Nando: I’m renting a camper van of some sorts and driving through South America. Even though I was born in Brazil, I’ve never gotten to see much of the other countries there. It would be nice to see Patagonia, the Andes, Machu Picchu and much more. Of course, it would be great to go to the Amazon too, and explore the northeast of Brazil that has so much great food and music too. El Salvador has been on my bucket list for quite some time now, and it would be great to go during Carnaval. The music and culture of South America is incredibly rich, and I love how the different cultures of immigrants and Native Americans have shaped art-making over there. I would bring my brother, my cousin, the band and a bunch of my closest friends.
What is your biggest fear?
Skyler: My biggest fear is not having something to make music about. It is a fear that I encounter all the time, and even though I know it will eventually pass, it is never not a massive threat to my well-being.

Hot off the release of her third studio album, Hit Me Hard And Soft, Billie Eilish paid a visit to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Her latest is some of her most raw work to date, with some of her most vulnerable songwriting and lyricism. Eilish’s artistry has inspired a new generation of musicians.
But as an artist, one will inevitably face comparisons, and Eilish is well aware of that. However, during the interview portion of The Late Show, she said that she doesn’t mind when people think newer artists are replicating her sound or style.
“You’ve got to make time to get to know yourself,” said Eilish. “I think at first, I was seeing the way I knew how to sing in the way I felt like it sounded good, with inspiration from my favorite singers, songs, and artists. I think over time, I learned who I was and how I actually wanted to sound and what was genuine.”
She continued, saying, “That’s why I think it’s really important that people are more forgiving of inspiration, because I think we live in a world where everyone wants to have everything be perfectly original and no one has ever done it ever in their lives. You don’t want to copy anyone but you have to let yourself be inspired…When I hear a song or see some younger artist come out with a song that sounds like mine or their voice sounds like mine, and people are like [mocking voice], I’m like, ‘Dude, it’s okay, let them figure it out.”
And even now that Eilish is more established as an artist, she still holds her inspirations close. Elsewhere in the interview, she shared she would like to record an album featuring covers of standards.
You can see a clip from the interview above and Billie’s performance of “Lunch” below.
Hit Me Hard And Soft is out now via Darkroom/Interscope. Find more information here.
The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Powell turned down a starring role in the Jurassic World reboot. “Jurassic is one of my favorite movies. It’s one of the things I’ve wanted to do my whole life. I’m not doing that movie because I read the script and I immediately was like, my presence in this movie doesn’t help it,” the actor explained. “And the script’s great. The movie’s going to fucking kill. It’s not about that. It’s about choosing where you’re going to make an audience happy and where you’re going to make yourself happy.”
Chris Pratt agreeing to star in Jurassic World led him down the road to voicing Garfield in The Garfield Movie. Powell: you just lost your chance at playing Heathcliff.
Hit Man comes out in select theaters on May 24 before making its streaming debut on Netflix on June 7. Meanwhile, the Jurassic World reboot, which is written by Jurassic Park scribe David Koepp and stars Scarlett Johansson and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, has a July 2, 2025 release date.
