With the WGA soon approaching the two-month mark, the SAG-AFTRA twin strike is now approaching two weeks. As a result, Hollywood and New York are ground central for picketing actors (including one furious Bryan Cranston) and writers. Not to be forgotten, as well, is the production-heavy Atlanta, where a fiery display went down on Monday after stunt coordinator Mike Massa — who fortunately knew what he was doing and could do so safely — set himself on fire “to make a statement,” via Instagram and Entertainment Weekly.
As EW notes, dozens of stunt performers gathered for a rally near Atlanta, and Massa brandished SAG-AFTRA sign. As fellow picketer Elena Sanchez wrote on Instagram, “We are tired of being burned by the AMPTP.”
Massa further stressed that this was “a great day,” and he is thrilled “to see such a great turnout from our local stunt community, local leadership, and actors who showed up to support us.” And thank goodness for his tenacity, which continues to bring attention to the strikes fueled by (in part) marked changes in how TV residual structures operate in the streaming age. As of now, however, the studios and unions do not appear to be any closer to a resolution, although perhaps Ron Perlman’s recent video can inspire someone to start breaking the ice of standstill talks, other than by fire.

While Post Malone isn’t known as an especially profane artist, he does work some salty language into his music on a somewhat regular basis, which was a point of contention for a fan he met one time.
In a new video from the YouTube channel Mythical Kitchen (an offshoot of Rhett & Link’s Good Mythical Morning channel), Posty and host Josh Scherer ate several dishes that the rapper chose for his theoretical final meal. As they feasted, they discussed a number of topics and at one point (at 17:04 into the video), Scherer asked if Malone has adapted to “the Mormon way of speaking” since he’d lived in Utah. That prompted a funny anecdote:
“I was staying at a place called Morgan. […] We would go there and ride ATVs and stuff and […] some mom was like, ‘Hey, we really like your music, we don’t like the cuss words that much, but here’s a list of words you can use instead.’ And it was like a four-page, double-sided list of words. It was full of things like ‘phooey, ‘fiddlesticks.’”
Elsewhere during the chat (21:28), he spoke about how he sees his eventual future in music, saying, “I think it’s always gonna be… I’m always gonna write stuff, you know. Whether it gets released is a whole different thing, but I think at a certain point, I’ll just get old and I’ll make songs, and then at that point, no one will be listening to me, so I can make, like, I always talk about acid polka. I’m working on an acid polka album.”
Later (32:19), he noted that when it comes to a song he’d want played at his funeral, he joked about “Little Drummer Boy” before giving his real answer: “But actually, it’d probably be Fleet Foxes something.”

Guy Fieri is opening up about the time he was falsely accused of drinking and driving.
“I was in a fatality car accident when I was 19 when I was in college,” the celebrity chef recalled on the Now What? with Brooke Shields podcast. “I wasn’t driving, I was in the backseat. And, unfortunately, I was with a bunch of guys and… we were drinking.”
The other passengers, who were staying at a nearby campsite as him, were “all in the military together,” Fieri said, and one of them “saw a cop and he was drinking. We were camping a half a mile away. And he took off and we got chased and the car flipped. And the guy next to me was killed. It was horrific. Everybody was messed up. And I had to go Flight for Life in the helicopter.”
When he woke up, Fieri said, he was “in the hospital handcuffed to the gurney” because “everybody in that car [was] saying that I was the one who was driving.”
Fieri was later arrested in his dorm room but “the cops knew I wasn’t [at fault].” His father gave him a stern talking-to, however. “My dad told me, ‘Cut the sh*t. You’re not invincible. This is for real now. You’re not in your hometown anymore. You’re in Las Vegas. You’re big time. You got to focus.’”
It’s a lesson Fieri has passed on to his kids. “Don’t trust anybody to drive you. Don’t trust what anybody puts in a drink and gives it to you. Don’t trust if anybody tells you that this is safe or this is smart,” he said. “You have to be the master of your domain. You have to be in control of your environment.”

Travis Scott’s long-awaited studio album, Utopia, is nearly here. Last week, the rapper shared the lead single, “K-Pop” featuring Bad Bunny and The Weeknd. In the visual, Scott revealed that a supporting stadium tour would be announced shortly. But that’s not the only thing fans should look forward to. During Travis Scott’s headlining appearance at Rolling Loud Miami 2023, he premiered the news that his film with A24 would be released publicly by week’s end.
Now, the official release date is here, and here’s how to watch Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus film. The flick will be shown at select AMC Theatres nationwide beginning on Thursday, July 27, at 10 p.m. local time. The entertainer hasn’t shared any details about the film’s focus, but based on the trailer, it won’t be a cut-and-dry documentary. The AMC website describes the movie, “A mind-bending visual odyssey across the globe, woven together by the speaker rattling sounds of his highly anticipated upcoming album, ‘Utopia.’ The film is a surreal and psychedelic journey, uniting a collective of visionary filmmakers from around the world in a kaleidoscopic exploration of human experience and the power of soundscapes.”
The listed run time for the film is one hour and 15 minutes.

Indie music has grown to include so much. It’s not just music that is released on independent labels but speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own weirdo heart. It can come in the form of rock music, pop, or folk. In a sense, it says as much about the people that are drawn to it as it does about the people that make it.
While we’re at it, sign up for our newsletter to get the best new indie music delivered directly to your inbox, every Monday.
Citizen — “If You’re Lonely”
Citizen aptly described their last album Life in Your Glass World in four words in our 2021 interview: “Loud, quiet, angry, sad.” Their new track “If You’re Lonely” contains these conflicting elements, although the anger is more subtle. Trading in their signature emo-punk sound for indie-rock, Citizen are proving that they can pull off any genre.
MJ Lenderman — “Rudolph”
MJ Lenderman has signed to ANTI- Records and shared this new jam “Rudolph” following the immediate success of his 2022 debut Boat Songs. “Rudolph” has everything that his fans love: the charming indie-rock twang and wonderfully unorthodox lines: “Deleted scene of Lightning McQueen / Blacked out at full speed.”
Big Thief — “Vampire Empire”
“Vampire Empire” has been a favorite for many Big Thief fans despite not receiving an official release until now. It’s been performed on tour, as well as on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Though listeners are picky with this recorded version, it still possesses the singularly heart-wrenching lyrics that make this song stand out from other indie earworms: “I wanted to be your woman, I wanted to be your man / I wanted to be the one that you could understand,” Adrianne Lenker lulls.
Angel Du$t — “Space Jam”
Angel Du$t have announced their new album Brand New Soul to follow 2021’s YAK: A Collection Of Truck Songs. It’s predictably unhinged from the bat, a nonstop anthem that serves as an unconventional love song: “Come on won’t you be my girl? / I’m asking you to hold my hand / Never going back to earth,” Justice Tripp sings, “Baby, I’ll be your space man / Space Jam.”
Vagabon — “Do Your Worst”
Vagabon had a specific mission when it came to writing “Do Your Worst”: “I set out to make an instrumental that drew from the music you’d hear at an underground club in Germany or the UK yet still lived in the Vagabon musical lexicon,” she said in a statement. The track successfully pulsates with the lively energy of a club while balancing her signature indie textures.
Tame Impala — “Journey To The Real World”
The Barbie movie soundtrack is packed with memorable pop anthems, so Tame Impala’s cameo is quite unexpected. However, the song sticks to Kevin Parker’s typical dreamlike sound, but with an extra disco punch. The buzzing synthesizers add to the otherworldly, energized feeling.
Illuminati Hotties — “Trucker”
“If mortality is a jolting, jagged highway exit, then heaven is a truck as it rumbles through the unknown,” Sarah Tudzin said in a statement. “‘Truck’ is a gentle affirmation that the dream can change at no deficit of dignity. For Tim.” It’s a gentle ballad, different from her past, energetic material, but it keeps the listener captivated by its reckonings.
Restraining Order — Locked In Time
Restraining Order’s 2019 debut This World Is Too Much was a perfect showcase of their unrelenting, uplifting barrage of hardcore. Locked In Time is a promising follow-up that persists with blips of mayhem with shouts of resistance: “There’s gotta be something better than this,” he yells on the rapid-fire “Another Better Day.”
Francis Of Delirium — “Real Love”
“‘Real Love’ at its heart is a simple song about being in love with your best friend,” 21-year-old Jana Bahrich, who makes music as Francis Of Delirium, said in a statement. The sprawling, dreamy track captures the magnitude of this complicated feeling, especially with the riveting repetition of the poignant hook: “Real love isn’t real love when it’s not us.”
Beabadoobee — “The Way Things Go”
Beabadoobee’s “The Way Things Go” is a searing breakup song whose power can be found in its ability to hold back. With a delicate atmosphere, she lulls subtle slights: “And there’s so much left to say / I guess I’m just the bigger guy / And there’s too much on my mind / That I don’t even want to try.”
