Lamar’s subsequent silence has supporters intrigued. But all this time, the Grammy Award-winner musician might’ve been in the recording booth creating a new body of work, according to a viral rumor online.
So, Did Kendrick Lamar Just Release A New Album Through pgLang?
If you were waiting for Lamar’s follow-up to 2022’s Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, you aren’t in luck. Today (April 28), an anonymous report began to circulate across X (formerly Twitter) that Lamar used his creative company, pgLang, to drop his new project.
Users online claimed to have found a leaked file of Lamar’s new album. Quickly after the post went live, others began to repost the link to the unauthorized project.
The Knicks and Sixers met in Philadelphia on Sunday afternoon for Game 4 of their first round series, with the Sixers hoping to even up the series before it goes back to New York. The Sixers were rolling to start the game, as they jumped out to an early double-digit advantage as Tyrese Maxey continued his strong series and Joel Embiid picked up where he left off after a 50-point performance in Game 3.
The Knicks would start to claw their way back into the game, first taking advantage of Embiid going to the bench (where Philly has struggled all series) and then maintaining some positive momentum even when he came back as Jalen Brunson was in a rhythm and got the Knicks all the way back to take a lead in the second quarter.

The two teams would go back-and-forth from there, with Philly taking a two-point lead into the break. The second half followed a similar script to the first, with the Sixers again darting out to a lead thanks to Maxey and Embiid.
But once again the Knicks had an answer as Brunson continued his spectacular play, getting support from OG Anunoby on offense and Josh Hart leading the way on the boards and defensive end as New York claimed a one-point edge going to the fourth.
At that point, every Knicks fan held their breath after Brunson went to the locker room after banging knees on the final play of the third quarter. The Sixers would take advantage of his absence to start the quarter as they briefly reclaimed the lead on a Cam Payne pull-up three.

Despite leaving Joel Embiid in the game and not giving him his usual rest, the Sixers could not go on a run with Brunson out, as Hart and Anunoby led a tremendous effort on the defensive end.
When Brunson emerged from the locker room to allow the Knicks faithful to breathe a sigh of relief, he quickly got back to work and re-established a New York advantage.
BRUNSON FADES FOR 40
The first 40p, 10a game in Knicks postseason franchise history!
While Brunson did just about everything offensively, scoring nearly half of the Knicks points, it was a full team effort on defense. The Sixers could just not get anything going in the fourth quarter, as Embiid looked gassed and refused to go inside despite being guarded by OG Anunoby throughout the fourth quarter, and the Knicks perimeter defenders denied Maxey lanes to the rim.

The Knicks certainly didn’t go run away and hide, as they had their own offensive struggles, but when they absolutely needed a bucket they were able to turn to Brunson, who the Sixers just had no answers for all game.
Brunson finished the game with 47 points (18-of-34 shooting) and 10 assists, putting forth one of the best playoff performances in Knicks franchise history — his 47 points is the most by a Knick in a playoff game ever. OG Anunoby was the best player in support of Brunson, posting 16 points and 14 rebounds, while also handling the responsibility of defending Embiid throughout the fourth quarter due to foul trouble for Hartenstein. Deuce McBride chipped in 13 off the bench, which was vital with the rest of the Knicks struggling from the field, and while Josh Hart had a rough shooting night, he still was a positive impact thanks to 15 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks.
For the Sixers, they just didn’t have enough on the offensive end down the stretch, as their stars weren’t very effective late and no one else was capable of picking up the slack. Embiid looked gassed in the fourth, playing all 24 minutes in the second half, and scored just one point in the final frame as he finished with 27 points (7-of-17 shooting), 10 rebounds, and six assists. Maxey finished with 23 points on 8-of-21 shooting, and Kelly Oubre Jr. (19 points) was the only other player to really present an actual offensive threat.
As the series shifts back to New York, the same issues present themselves for Philly. It certainly seems as though they are reliant on massive efforts from their two stars, and Embiid is clearly physically compromised right now. The Knicks have won games with and without Brunson having big games, and they get to go back home where their role players will be more comfortable. The Sixers certainly could force things back to Philadelphia for Game 6, but they will either need another 50-point type outing from Embiid or Maxey or to get something from the supporting cast that just hasn’t been there all series.
Country music fans don’t quite have a reputation for being the most welcoming. However, this year’s Stagecoach (the genre’s largest festival) debunked that myth featuring an abundance of genre newbies and outside sounds.
Since the lineup for Stagecoach 2024 was announced, ticketholders were interested to see what Post Malone would bring to the main stage. Many hoped that he’d bring out his “Levii’s Jeans” collaborator, Beyoncé, for a surprise performance. Although that didn’t happen, yesterday (April 27), Post’s set still managed to win viewers over.
Joined by Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley, and Sara Evans, users at home are gung ho about Post moving full steam ahead with his venture into country. Across X (formerly Twitter), viewers flooded the platform to praise Post’s performance.
“If Post Malone takes these country covers on the road, take all of my money. That was badass,” wrote one user.
I think after that #Stagecoach performance people can stop questioning whether or not Post Malone belongs in the country scene pic.twitter.com/AHEqcc1Cd3
The Los Angeles Clippers have only won one game in their first round series with the Dallas Mavericks, and it was the opener when they still didn’t have Kawhi Leonard in the lineup. Leonard returned in Game 2, but his knee didn’t respond as hoped from playing in that game. He struggled mightily in Game 3, scoring nine points in 25 minutes, and he simply has not looked like the dominant player he’s capable of when healthy since returning to the Clippers lineup.
With a critical Game 4 in Dallas on Sunday afternoon, the Mavs announced Leonard would be out due to inflammation in his surgically repaired knee, and that there was no timetable for his return. Clippers president Lawrence Frank addressed the media and said it was a “tricky” situation, but that it was clear Leonard just wasn’t himself.
Lawrence Frank says he doesn’t know when Kawhi Leonard will be back. He says until he shows all the movements he needs to make, that will be the timeline.
Lawrence Frank calls the inflammation in Kawhi Leonard’s surgically-repaired right knee “tricky.” “When you watch him play, it was very obvious that is not Kawhi Leonard.”
While there is no doubt the Clippers are a better team with Leonard at full strength, you could make the argument that they are better without Kawhi playing than the 60-percent version being out there struggling. For that to be the case, James Harden and Paul George will have to pick up the slack in the starting five from a shot creation standpoint. Harden has been up to the task in the series, but George has been oddly passive. If L.A. is going to even things up on Sunday, that will have to change.
One of the greatest basketball players of all-time is calling it a career, as Candace Parker announced on Sunday that she was retiring, making the announcement prior to the start of training camp for the Las Vegas Aces, posting a full message to fans on her Instagram page.
As Parker notes, she needed time to come around on retirement mentally, but her heart and body knew it was time for a little while now.
I’m retiring.
I promised I’d never cheat the game & that I’d leave it in a better place than I came into it. The competitor in me always wants 1 more, but it’s time. My HEART & body knew, but I needed to give my mind time to accept it.
I always wanted to walk off the court with no parade or tour, just privately with the ones I love. What now was to be my last game, I walked off the court with my daughter. I ended the journey just as I started it, with her.
This offseason hasn’t been fun on a foot that isn’t cooperating. It’s no fun playing in pain (10 surgeries in my career) it’s no fun knowing what you could do, if only…it’s no fun hearing “she isn’t the same” when I know why, it’s no fun accepting the fact you need surgery AGAIN.
Parker will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer as a 3-time WNBA champion, 2-time WNBA MVP, and 7-time WNBA All-Star, while also being a 2-time NCAA champion, 2-time NCAA Tournament MOP, and 2-time Olympic gold medalist. She finishes her career in the WNBA’s top-10 all-time in points, rebounds, assists, and blocks, as she was one of the most well-rounded players the league’s ever seen.
Parker will continue with her broadcasting career and notes that she wants to be part of an ownership group for both an NBA and WNBA team in the future.
There’s something about the Indio, California desert environment that pulls out another side of music’s notable names.
For the past two weekends, the Empire Polo Club was home to Coachella 2024. While there were multiple raved about performances, the public’s confusion over Grimes’ technical issues was all users online could talk about. This weekend, Stagecoach 2024 has taken up residence on the grounds. From the two days held so far, folks won’t seem to shut up about Eric Church‘s headlining performance. While Church didn’t experience any device breakdowns, attendees aren’t happy with his set, claiming he committed a cardinal sin of festival commandments—daring to be different.
https://www.instagram.com/reels/C6QflTuuwRY/
Instead of sticking to festivalgoers expectations, Church ventured outside the bounds of country music with a set of mostly gospel and a sprinkle of rap. Users online who streamed the performance via Prime took to their pages to slam Church’s pivot.
According to USA Today, the pushback prompted the singer to address the critiques with a statement issued through his record label.
“This was the most difficult set I have ever attempted,” he said. “I’ve always found that taking it back to where it started, back to chasing who Bob Seger loves, who Springsteen loves, who Willie Nelson loves, you chase it back to the origin. The origin of all that is still the purest form of it. And we don’t do that as much anymore. It felt good at this moment to go back, take a choir and do that.”
Seemingly prepared for the dived, Church doubled down on his decision, saying that he was “happy with his choice to do what he wanted anyway.”
Read a few responses to Eric Church’s Stagecoach 2024 set below.
I don’t like country but this was baddddd bro. I thought it was just an into, but it never stopped. You have to play your hits man.
I think it’s pretty admirable and brave of him to sing gospel music, I’m sure he knew it wouldn’t be received with open arms and he did it anyway giving a message of virtues instead of just drunken nights or days or what not. I found it courageous of him.
Damn after seeing the comments about how good it was on the Church Choir Facebook page – I’m pissed I missed it, just like I was mad at myself for missing the 2nd night at The Gorge
Probably the most memorable @Stagecoach 2024 set so far but not necessarily in a good way. Masterful but unusual enough for me to say I couldn’t appreciate it in the festival setting. I wonder how fan reaction would have been if there had built up anticipation for something new.
Loved the set. EFC has always done things differently, and having been to several of his concerts…they’re never the same. This was a pretty on brand performance, and people who don’t realize that haven’t been there very long. He also played quite a few of his hits. The
The Milwaukee Bucks nearly pulled off an incredible win in Game 3, twice tying the game in the closing seconds (first in the fourth quarter and then again in overtime) on outrageous three-pointers from Khris Middleton. The longtime Bucks wing had 42 points as he did all he could to will them to a win, but it wasn’t enough to take down a balanced effort from the Pacers, who finally got a big bucket from Tyrese Haliburton on a game-winning floater.
With the Pacers validating their Game 2 win once back at home, there is ample pressure on the Bucks to figure out how to reclaim home court in Game 4, or else they’ll return to Milwaukee facing elimination. That task got even harder when it was revealed that Damian Lillard suffered an Achilles strain at the end of Game 3, which is why he was limited to being a decoy in overtime. Both he and Giannis Antetokounmpo were listed as doubtful for Game 4 going into the weekend, and on Sunday the team confirmed both of their superstars would miss the pivotal matchup.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard are both listed as out for tonight’s game.
The onus now shifts to Middleton to carry the load and the rest of the Bucks supporting cast to step up. Pat Connaughton and Malik Beasley will have to provide a big lift as three-point threats, Patrick Beverley figures to get more of the ball-handling load, and Brook Lopez and Bobby Portis will need to be offensive weapons if Milwaukee is going to keep up with the Pacers.
During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Timberlake hinted that more music from the group would come. But according to TMZ, there is so much more up the group’s sleeves. The outlet reports that the highly anticipated NSYNC reunion tour could be a reality. Sources close to the matter claim that not only is the group on board, but the proposed arena tour kicked off a bidding war.
Supposedly, two of the industry’s biggest event promoters, Live Nation and AEG, have contacted the group to get a feel for how committed they are to the idea of a massive tour. The sourced claims the tour would come with an impressive payout to each of the members. However, those close to business dealings haven’t disclosed any specifics.
With Timberlake’s tour set to wrap up in July, the group has ample time to comb over the offers before making a final decision. As for when the reunion tour will kick off, that detail are still being worked out. Again, TMZ‘s insider says that if NSYNC does agree to a deal, the shows won’t take place until well into 2025.
We’re well into the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs at this point. It’s gotten to the stage where we can say with some certainty how players are performing and what teams needs to do if they are going to punch their ticket to the conference semifinals, and we can start to look back at stuff from before the postseason started and see how poorly (or terribly) it has aged.
So, we’re doing that today. Before things tipped off, we looked at the most important player on each team in both conferences. There’s still a long way to go, so we’ll do this again later in the postseason, but for now, here’s how things have shaped up through the first round.
Boston Celtics: Kristaps Porzingis
Porzingis was awful during the team’s Game 2 loss to the Miami Heat, but he was far better in Games 1 and 3, which they won. He is, and will continue to be, the bellwether for the Celtics, because when he plays well, they might be unbeatable. He has to play with urgency on both ends of the floor, he has to be able to space the floor so Boston’s perimeter players can attack the rim, he has to be able to punish switches, and he has to protect the rim on defense. In the team’s two wins, he did that stuff. In their loss, he looked a bit lost. Get him going and good things will happen.
New York Knicks: OG Anunoby
Funny enough, the game where Anunoby has shouldered the biggest offensive burden for the Knicks was the one they lost. He’s mostly doing what he’s needed to do this postseason — he’s taking about one fewer shot and one fewer three per game from his regular season numbers, which, that’s partly a small sample size thing and partly a “Josh Hart has fireballs shooting out of his hands” thing. He’s also one been the primary defensive assignment against Tyrese Maxey, and he’s certainly battling and doing everything he can against Philly’s offensive spark plug.
Milwaukee Bucks: Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton
Both guys have needed to step up in Giannis Antetokounmpo’s absence. Both have shouldered heavy offensive burdens — Lillard had back-to-back games of huge first halves and poor seconds halves, then played about as well as he could on a bum wheel in Game 3. Middleton had two solid games before exploding in Game 3. The problem: Both are now banged up, with Middleton dealing with a bad ankle and Lillard maybe missing Game 4 with an achilles injury.
Cleveland Cavaliers: Darius Garland
Garland has flat out not been good enough against the Magic. With Donovan Mitchell clearly not looking like himself — he was great in Game 1 and hasn’t been able to reach those highs since — Cleveland desperately needs Garland to look like the All-Star he was in 2022. Instead, he’s struggled to impose himself on games against the pitbulls that Orlando throws out there at guard. His numbers aren’t up to what he’s capable of (12 points and six assists per game on 41.9 percent shooting from the field), and if Cleveland is going to make it out of the first round, he has to find the rhythm that has seemingly eluded him all year.
Orlando Magic: Franz Wagner
What a player he is. Wagner has grown into the series against Cleveland, and in Orlando’s emphatic Game 4 win, he hit every right note — 34 points on 13-for-17 shooting, 13 rebounds, four assists, a block. He’s getting more and more comfortable with playoff basketball, and now, the real test comes with the series shifting back to Cleveland. If his first two games (he shot 37.5 percent from the field across both games and put up 18 points both times) were just early playoff jitters and his good form in Orlando travels, the Magic very well could be hosting a Game 6 this week with the ability to punch their ticket to the conference semis.
Indiana Pacers: Tyrese Haliburton
Haliburton’s playoff debut has been a bit weird. He’s been turning down open shots to get guys looks, but his shot is just not falling (only 22.7 percent from three) and he’s averaging 12 assists a game. Winning is what matters, though, and the Pacers are up 2-1 on the Bucks so far. He finds his shot a bit (and perhaps his game-winner in Game 3 builds his confidence up) and the Pacers won’t just win this series, they can go on a bit of a run with how everyone else is playing.
Philadelphia 76ers: Joel Embiid
Embiid has been outstanding against the Knicks. The numbers back that up — he’s averaging 37.7 points on 47.1 percent shooting from the field and 37.5 percent from three with 8.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. He doesn’t look totally comfortable on his knee, and he’s now dealing with Bell’s palsy, but he’s battling through all of this and put up a 50-piece in a win last time out. He has to keep battling if Philly is going to beat New York, which, don’t count that out.
Miami Heat: Tyler Herro
The Heat won Game 2 against the Celtics. Herro had 24 points and 14 rebounds while going 6-for-11 from three. The Heat lost Games 1 and 3 against the Celtics. Herro had 11 points and four assists in Game 1, 15 points and two assists in Game 3, and shot 3-for-9 from deep in both games. He either gives them a major shot in the arm on offense — one where he gets going, but also, he gets everyone else involved — or Miami’s going home.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
This one’s easy enough: He hasn’t shown a single ounce of fear or reservation in his first playoff series as the man in Oklahoma City. It helps, of course, that the Pelicans are having an awful time trying to deal with everything the Thunder can throw at them, but Gilgeous-Alexander is taking it to them despite spending most of his time on the floor getting hounded by Herbert Jones. If they’re going to compete for a championship, he has to be able to spend an entire postseason doing this (28.3 points, 5.7 assists, 4.7 rebounds, two steals per game with good efficiency numbers overall, albeit a bit of a step back from his regular season numbers). But his first act has been quite good.
Denver Nuggets: Michael Porter Jr.
After a rough playoff run last year, Porter has done everything Denver has needed out of him in the first round. His 22 points and 9.5 rebounds per game are only behind Nikola Jokic, while his effective field goal percentage of 64.8 percent actually leads the team among players who have played in every game. He’s getting better at knowing how to use his size as a weapon on defense, too. But his calling card will always be his ability to punish opposing defenses — he’s done it well against the Lakers, and assuming Denver win this series, he’ll have to keep doing it if the Nuggets are going to go back-to-back.
Minnesota Timberwolves: Karl-Anthony Towns
The bad: Some of the problems that have plagued Towns in previous postseasons, namely a propensity for committing some truly baffling fouls, have popped up again. The good: His worst game of the series was Game 1, which the Timberwolves won, and he’s done a good job in his role as a stretch big who helps punish a tiny Suns team on the glass since then. So far this series, he’s third on the team in scoring (how about Rudy Gobert at 17 points a game?), second in rebounding, and he’s hitting 45.5 percent of his threes on 3.7 attempts a game. With Anthony Edwards performing as well as he has and Gobert enveloping whatever big man Phoenix throws at him, that’s exactly what they need out of him.
Los Angeles Clippers: James Harden
The Clipper offense has been absolutely horrible against the feisty Mavericks so far, but despite his reputation for being a playoff choker, Harden’s not at fault. Paul George has not seemed all that interested in imposing himself on games, while Kawhi Leonard is clearly not right. While Ty Lue definitely needs more Ivica Zubac (who has been great), Harden’s doing what he can considering his limitations at this point in his career, as he’s averaging 23.7 points and seven assists on 47.7 percent shooting from the field and 44.8 percent shooting from three. Getting George, in particular, going is crucial, but if he doesn’t, Harden might need to find an extra gear to save the Clippers.
Dallas Mavericks: Kyrie Irving
Luka Doncic is averaging 29 points on absolutely brutal efficiency, shooting 37.7 percent from the field and 30 percent from three. And yet, Dallas is up 2-1 because of two things: the team’s defense, and the play of Kyrie Irving, who has been the exact running mate Doncic needs. His ability to initiate the offense and attack the Los Angeles defense has been a huge boost, and while he’s not Gary Payton on the defensive end or anything, he’s playing well on that end of the floor and has been a pest in passing lanes. The duo can use some help, but Irving is certainly holding up his end of the bargain so far.
Phoenix Suns: Bradley Beal
Beal has given Phoenix what it needs out of a third option: 19 points, 5.3 assists, 50 percent shooting from three on six attempts per game (that last number needs to be higher, but Phoenix must have a moral opposition to shooting threes, since literally nothing else explains why they just do not let it fly). The interesting thing: The guys above him (Kevin Durant and Devin Booker) are not filling it up the way we know they can, while it’s just been a brutal series for the Suns’ non-stars against a tenacious Timberwolves team. Beal had his best game in Game 3 of the series, a 17-point loss for Phoenix, and if the Suns want to avoid a sweep that could send them towards an existential crisis, he might just have to build on that.
Los Angeles Lakers: Anthony Davis
The downside is the Lakers are down, 3-1, to the Nuggets, and despite winning Game 4, we’re on gentleman’s sweep watch as the series heads back to Denver. But Davis (and LeBron James) has been brilliant, as he has his fingerprints all over this series — 30.5 points, 15.8 rebounds, four assists, 1.5 blocks in 42 minutes a game while shooting 62.2 percent from the field. You have to be near-perfect to beat the Nuggets, and for the most part, Davis has done his job here.
New Orleans Pelicans: Brandon Ingram
Ingram has found himself stuck in the Dorture Chamber, as Lu Dort is all in his business every time the two are on the floor. As a result: 16.3 points and 4.7 rebounds per game, 41.5 percent shooting from the field, 2-for-5 from three for the entire series, and the Pelicans are in an 0-3 hole while Zion Williamson watches. We’ll see if this series sends New Orleans towards some difficult questions this offseason, or if they decide to run it back next year.
Every single week, our TV and film experts will list the most important ten streaming selections for you to pop into your queues. We’re not strictly operating upon reviews or accrued streaming clicks (although yes, we’ve scoured the streaming site charts) but, instead, upon those selections that are really worth noticing amid the churning sea of content. There’s a lot out there, after all, and your time is valuable.
Deadpool & Wolverine is aiming to resurrect the MCU like “Marvel Jesus,” but the Merc With The Mouth might be distracted with some claws to the #*&@. Fortunately, other backup mutants have arrived as reinforcements in this Disney+ series, which throws back to the uncanny 1990s era. In the process, the mutants will protect those who despise them in this series that acts as a fresh-juice infusion for the nerd contingent.
Robert Downey Jr. is getting his espionage on (watch out, The Night Agent) while taking on four roles including film director, professor, congressman, and CIA operative. This series adapts Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about a Vietnam War-era spy (portrayed by Hoa Xuande) who takes up refuge in Los Angeles, and RDJ’s characters are pivotal along the way. The tone is satiric, so get ready to embrace the unembraceable while marveling at the newly crowned Oscar winner’s range.
This limited series (and the streaming service has not hinted otherwise) follows Andrew Scott as the Patricia Highsmith character previously portrayed by Matt Damon on the big screen. However, this series adopts a different aesthetic bent than the sun-dappled 1999 production starring Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow. Still, the psychological thriller aspect remains within the more closed confines of the small screen. The results, which partially roll out like a film noir tribute, are astonishing.
7. Late Night With The Devil (Umbrella Entertainment film streaming on Shudder and AMC+)
This Stephen King-approved horror film stars David Dastmalchian as Jack Delroy, a late 1970s Johnny Carson rival whose ratings have fallen into Hell, so he ends up (as the title suggests) courting true evil on his show in an attempt to bring the show’s black magic back. Remember the found footage trend in horror films? This movie does things right in that department.
This series has now come to an almost-certain end after arguably delivering the most lushly rendered series in this era of “epic” TV productions. May Cosmo Jarvis forever be a household name for his performance in this superior adaptation of James Clavell’s most well-known novel. Then there’s the most refreshing part of this series: despite too many characters to count and a wide array of historical narrative twists, this series isn’t difficult to follow. That’s (part of) the beauty of how deftly this show weaved in exposition, so that it feels authentic, which is no small feat on several levels for this iconic story.
Idris Elba reprises the beloved role that he originated in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 to bridge the gap ahead of the third movie while taking up the magnificent feat of preparing another Echidna warrior. Man, CGI/live-action combos have come a long way since James Marsden starred in Hop.
Lily Gladstone is following up her arresting Killers of the Flower Moon performance in this true-crime series adaptation of the late Rebecca Godfrey’s same-named book that dives tail first into 14-year-old Reena Virk’s murder after it flipped a Canadian town on its head. The story carries some Sharp Objects flavor with True Detective vibes alongside its real-life origins. Riley Keough portrays Godfrey, and Gladstone suits up as a cop as the two women take different approaches to the pursuit of justice.
Gamers were undeniably thrilled to binge the entire season in one serving, but the downside is that the wait for a second season might feel longer. Walton Goggins steals the show, like he always does, as the nose-free character of The Ghoul. Yes, he’s missing a nose, but he’s not missing the classic Goggins charisma that oozes into every nook and cranny of the souls that he inhabits. This series also joins the unprecedented wave of successful video-game adaptations that have been handed to audiences with Hollywood finally getting things right in this realm.
2. Anyone But You (Sony Pictures Releasing film on Netflix)
Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell totally knew what they were doing with those dating rumors, and honestly? Good on ’em. The pair has made romcoms viable in theaters again to the tune of $218+ million globally, so let’s hope that Hollywood seizes the moment in a proper way and doesn’t learn the wrong lessons. We need chemistry, people, and we get it with Sweeney and Powell pretending to hate each other but (of course) falling hard in the end. It doesn’t hurt that both leads are easy on the eyes, and long live sleeper movies as the most pleasant surprises in cinema.
Richard Gadd created and stars in this brilliant (although triggering) project that adapts his one-man stage play about his real-life experience of being raped before landing in a traumatic spiral, where a stalker felt free to insert herself. That’s an oversimplistic description of a nuanced series from the Scottish comedian, who embodies Donny with heartbreaking touches also laced with dark comedy. Gadd has cautioned viewers to cease attempting to unravel the true identities of those who plagued him, and if you haven’t watched this series yet, be ready to feel both horrified and spellbound by how Gadd lays himself bare to the world.
