After sitting comfortably in theaters for over a month, The Batman finally streams via HBO Max on April 18th. Matt Reeves’ movie has been everywhere lately (besides actually available online), raking in massive amounts of money and sparking the Nirvana revival. The movie will also have an HBO premiere on Saturday, April 23rd at 8 pm.
The movie stars Robert Pattinson as the caped crusader alongside Zoe Kravtiz as Selina Kyle aka Catwoman, Paul Dano as The Riddler and Colin Farrell as the creepy Penguin. For those of you who have been waiting until it is online to see it, here is a brief overview that you probably already know:
When a killer targets Gotham City’s elite with a series of sadistic machinations, a trail of cryptic clues sends the World’s Greatest Detective on an investigation into the underworld, where he encounters such characters as Selina Kyle, The Penguin, Carmine Falcone and The Riddler. As the evidence begins to lead closer to home and the scale of the perpetrator’s plans becomes clear, The Batman must forge new relationships, unmask the culprit, and bring justice to the abuse of power and corruption that has long plagued Gotham City.
While there hasn’t been an official confirmation of a sequel, both Reeves and Pattinson have expressed interest in continuing the series, and there are multiple Batman spinoffs in the works at HBO Max. So, it’s safe to say Pattinson’s Batman is here to stay.
Though he has been accused of a number of instances of sexual assault, Trey Songz now has one less case to worry about. Las Vegas police closed their investigation into accusations against the singer, determining that “no criminal charges will be filed.” According to TMZ, a representative of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department advised, “If any new evidence comes to light, the case will be reopened for further investigation.”
The R&B star was investigated for an alleged incident at The Cosmopolitan hotel in 2021. He was in Vegas to perform at Drai’s Nightclub and celebrate his 37th birthday this past November. Songz invited a group of women back to his rooms at The Cosmopolitan where the incident allegedly occurred. It’s unclear whether this was the same incident that prompted former UNLV basketball player and model Dylan Gonzalez to call Trey Songz a rapist in a statement earlier this year. Gonzalez did tweet the day of the announcement the case was closed, writing, “No White Flag From Dylan Gonzalez. The War Continues. #BeStrongNotSilent.”
In her statement, she wrote, “With what seems like endlessly recurring news of the alleged sexual assaults committed by Trey Songz, I am forced to repeatedly relive in my mind, and suffer anew, the long-suppressed horror and unbearable PTSD of my rape by his very hands at a well known Las Vegas hotel.” Earlier this year, he was sued by another woman who alleged he also raped her in 2016.
What a year in hip-hop 2022 has already been. This year started with a bang thanks to new album releases from Gunna (DS4EVER), Cordae (From A Bird’s Eye View), and Earl Sweatshirt (Sick!). As the year continued, the big-name releases picked up momentum, with new albums from Saba (Few Good Things), 2 Chainz (Dope Don’t Sell Itself), $not (Ethereal), Big KRIT (Digital Roses Don’t Die), Earthgang (Ghetto Gods), and Conway The Machine (God Don’t Make Mistakes). That momentum has carried over into the beginning of spring, with King Von (What It Means To Be King), BabyTron (Megatron), Lil Durk (7220), Fly Anakin (Frank), Phife Dawg (Forever), Denzel Curry (Melt My Eyez, See Your Future), Buddy (Superghetto), and Latto (777) all contributing to the absolute mayhem that marked the first quarter of rap releases.
All that, and we still haven’t heard from heavy-hitters like JID, Kendrick Lamar, or Nicki Minaj, although increased activity from two of the three suggests that new albums may very well be dropping soon. For now, we’ll just focus on the albums we know are dropping (or have dropped — April 8 turned out to be a monster release day as well). And look, there’s no accounting for taste or surprise releases; your underground fave may not appear here but that doesn’t mean we aren’t always looking out to be pleasantly shocked by a relative newcomer or dark horse viral popup. Here are the most anticipated hip-hop albums of spring 2020.
Coi Leray — Trendsetter
The 2021 XXL Freshman had a stellar year in the wake of her breakout track, “No More Parties.” Following up with strong viral faves like “Twinnem” and “Blick Blick,” Coi proved she’s no one-hit-wonder. Trendsetter looks to bring some color and life to the rap game, bending the genre’s established tropes and throwing expectations for female rappers completely out the window.
Dreezy & Hit-Boy — Hit Girl
As the Chicago veteran — yes, she’s a vet, as she first emerged during the drill rap explosion of 2012 — aims to make her resurgence, she’s picked the perfect partner. Hit-Boy managed to jumpstart the career of rap icon Nas; if anyone can help Dreezy with her relaunch, it’s him. They’ve already made significant headway to that effect with the slick comeback singles “COVID Flow Freestyle” and “They Not Ready,” and honestly, no one could be happier about this than me.
Fivio Foreign — B.I.B.L.E.
When Pop Smoke was killed in 2020, the torch of the oncoming New York drill wave, seemingly passed to Fivio — Pop’s closest collaborator — by default. At times, it seemed uncertain whether he was ready for it, or whether he even wanted it. Yet, in the year and change since, we’ve seen Fivio take some laudable leaps as an artist. His notoriety has certainly increased as well, resulting in collaborations with big names like Kanye West and Nicki Minaj. If nothing else, it’ll be interesting to see what he does with it and whether he can blow some fresh wind into the movement’s flagging sails on B.I.B.L.E.
Jack Harlow — Come Home The Kids Miss You
Harlow’s new album’s title may be a mouthful, but the cocky Louisvillain has certainly earned some latitude to take a few left turns. Just check out “Nail Tech” and “First Class,” which have been stark departures from the upbeat, syllable-a-second breakout single “What’s Poppin’.” Jack promises more introspective material on his latest, but as it turns out, he’s not above relishing in his newfound success either.
The California supergroup consisting of E-40, Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, and Too Short couldn’t have come together at a better time. All four rappers are independent and all four have been around the block a few times since they all emerged in the late-80s/early-90s. They’ve got the experience and wisdom of age, but also share a youthful enthusiasm for hip-hop and rap, and from the two singles they’ve released so far, they clearly enjoy working together and inspire each other in a way that has them all sounding more engaged than ever.
Pusha T — It’s Almost Dry
Once again, it’s time to see how many ways Pusha can make the same material sound brand new all over again. If anyone’s up to the challenge, it’s the guy who managed to sneak a cocaine reference into a fast-food jingle and unearthed a near-decade-old beat from 88 Keys’ stores. He even got Jay-Z to rap like he means it again. Push’s last effort, 2018’s Daytona, was universally acclaimed; could it be he has another consensus critical favorite up his sleeve?
Vince Staples — Ramona Park Broke My Heart
In all his years in the rap game, the Long Beach rapper has been a contrarian, an iconoclast, and someone who was singularly disinterested in the trappings of fame, let alone being a working musician aspiring to it. For the first time, it seems like he’s letting his guard down, demystifying his biography, and actually making music for the masses to enjoy. When Earl Sweatshirt did it, we got Sick! When Vince does it, we just might get another masterpiece.
Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Over a month after stirring up controversy, Sam Elliott has officially apologized for calling The Power of the Dog a “piece of sh*t” because of its “allusions of homosexuality.” The actor made the comments on the WTF with Marc Maron podcast, and he made it a point to specifically apologize to Jane Campion and Benedict Cumberbatch in his first public appearance since the remarks.
“I told the WTF podcaster that I thought Jane Campion was a brilliant director, and I want to apologize to the cast of The Power of the Dog, brilliant actors all,” Elliott said at Deadline’s Contender TV event on Sunday. “And in particular Benedict Cumberbatch. I can only say that I’m sorry and I am. I am.”
Elliott also made it a point to express his support to the gay community and sincerely apologize for poorly expressing his criticism of the film. “I wasn’t very articulate about it. I didn’t articulate it very well,” Elliott said:
“And I said some things that hurt people and I feel terrible about that. The gay community has been incredible to me my entire career. And I mean my entire career, from before I got started in this town. Friends on every level and every job description up until today. I’m sorry I hurt any of those friends and someone that I loved. And anyone else by the words that I used.”
As for one thing Elliott learned, “don’t do a podcast with the call letters WTF,” the actor quipped before, again, apologizing for his poor choice of words.

To say that there are a lot of IPAs on the market is a ridiculous understatement. With the total number of breweries in the US hovering around 9,000, there are likely way more craft IPAs available than any drinker could ever try. Even if you quit your job (or stole mine!) and made it your goal to try every single one of these beers. It’s just not possible.
Maybe, instead of chasing the best IPAs from coast to coast, just try a few each month, with a little help from yours truly and some stone-cold experts. Our collective of craft beer pros was gracious enough to share their picks for the one IPA they wish more people talked about. Note: These aren’t the most underrated beers — some of them are quite popular. But the brewers and beer aficionados we polled said these IPAs don’t get talked about as much as they should.
Keep scrolling to check out all of their picks so you can add them to your list.
Atlas Ponzi
Atlas Brewing
Jeff Hancock, co-founder, and brewmaster of DC Brau in Washington, DC
I’d have to say the Atlas Brew Works Ponzi West Coast Style IPA. The hop combination of Cascade, Chinook, Centennial, Mandarina Bavaria, and Amarillo hops that are laid atop a subtle malt base makes this one a killer. It’s also a year-round offering from the brewery, so no waiting for a seasonal release.
Modus Hoperandi by Ska Brewing. This is one of those old-school IPA’s that I think gets lost in the fray with all of the new fruited, milkshake, sour dry-hopped & New England IPAs. Not that those aren’t great, but this is a classic and one that always is fresh in Colorado. It’s a great mix of citrus and pine and really brings back a lot of great memories of when craft beer was still in its infancy.
Everyone who’s anyone has a favorite West Coast-style IPA. And that one is certainly one of mine.
Pfriem IPA is a can’t miss beer. Like all beers from Pfriem, it deserves a ton of respect. Their annual offering is a nod to the heritage of Northwest brewing and a time when beers did not need gimmicks to be enjoyed. Brewed with Chinook, Mosaic, and Citra hops, it’s loaded with citrus flavors and caramel malts.
Red Hook Big Ballard
Red Hook
Greg Deuhs, director of brewing, batching, and quality at Sprecher Brewery in Glendale, Wisconsin
Red Hook Big Ballard. It’s really an easy-going West Coast IPA. If I remember right, it’s 45 IBUs [Actually, it’s 73!]. It’s good because it not only has the hop character, but it also has malt character. Hoppy, malt, and slightly bitter. It’s a classic West Coast IPA.
People should talk more about Sena Farm Brewery in general, but Diagonal Stride—their IPA dry-hopped with Vic Secret, Sabro, and Mosaic—deserves endless praise. The blend of hops results in a flavor that shifts between Fruit Stripe gum, melons, and tropical fruits, with just a hint of mint at the finish.
Sierra Nevada Celebration is a seasonal fresh hop West Coast IPA that might not be on a lot of people’s radar, although it has been a perennial since 1981. Fresh Cascade and Centennial hops give this beer solid citrus and pine flavors supported by a slightly caramelized malty backbone.
Maine Beer Co Dinner. While many people talk about its counterpart Lunch, Dinner had a brief moment in the sun years ago, before the NEIPA craze really took off. I think people forget just how good this beer is. With a huge hop nose with notes of pineapple, guava, and melon balanced with a slightly sweet malt body, this beer sneakily continues to be one of the best DIPAs money can buy.
Worthington White Shield is my pick. The IPA style has moved so far away from its original form that I wish people would do a bit of a reset and talk more about original versions, like Worthington’s White Shield. Originally brewed in Burton upon Trent and shipped over to British troops stationed in India in the 19th century, now only available in bottles in the UK, it’s still worth a sip.
You’ll find it has a full malt profile and is hopped much lighter than American versions of the style.
Civil Society Fresh
Civil Society
Marshall Hendrickson, co-founder and head of brewing operations at Veza Sur Brewing in Miami
Civil Society Fresh. This has always been one of my favorite IPAs. It’s always so juicy, loaded with citrusy hop flavor and aroma. I know Fresh gets a lot of love in South Florida, but I think it’s one of the best IPAs I’ve ever had. The label art is super rad as well.
Cigar City Jai Alai
Cigar City
Nancy Lopetegui, taproom general manager at Wynwood Brewing in Miami
Cigar City’s Jai Alai has always been one of my favorites especially since I’m from Florida, so this beer has always been available down here. It is getting more and more talked about in other parts of the country which I love to see but still doesn’t get the praise it deserves. There are citrus and tropical fruit hop notes with a hint of malt sweetness. Even with its popularity, it should be talked about more.
Maryland’s All Things Go Festival has announced the lineup for 2022. Headliners include Lorde, Mitski, and Bleachers; the rest of the performers are treats for indie fans, with Lucy Dacus, King Princess, Hippo Campus, Peach Pit, Julien Baker, Goth Babe, Maude Latour, Bartees Strange, Jack Kays, Michelle, Wallice, Kyle Dion, and The BLSSM. The festival will take place on Saturday, October 1.
Last year, All Things Go announced that they were moving to a larger event space — Merriweather Post Pavilion outside of Washington, DC — to accommodate more music fans. The move allowed the festival to expand its capacity and have two stages instead of just one. This year will also be at the Merriweather Post Pavilion.
I’ve stayed in five-star, all-inclusive resort suites, grimy hostel bunks, corporate-style hotel rooms, woodsy cabins, Airbnbs, and in pretty much every other style of travel accommodation in between. While every type of lodging has its perks, there’s nothing I love more than the local character and charm that can be found at boutique hotels.
Sure, big hotel chains offer the convenience of luxury amenities, but there’s something about small, one-of-a-kind properties that adds to the overall travel experience. What I love about boutique hotels is that they further immerse you into the local scene and culture. Or at least that’s what I found when I stayed at The Green Room Hotel in Oceanside, California.
Oceanside itself delivers all the laidback vibes and sunshine you could ask for on a trip to Southern California but without the overcrowded beaches and road-rage-provoking traffic of Los Angeles or San Diego. Although it’s a little more under the radar, the city of Oceanside (particularly in South Oceanside) is a buzzing, up-and-coming area that’s in the midst of a boom — with delicious restaurants, a lively bar scene, boutique shopping, and plenty of outdoor adventure.
Better still, most of these South Oceanside gems are within a few steps of each other on the famous Pacific Coast Highway. I was able to experience it all first-hand recently while staying at The Green Room. The fact that the hotel is walking distance to everything popping in Oceanside is reason enough to book a stay, but that’s not the only thing that makes it worthy of a spot among the “Hotels We Love.”
If you’re in the market for a carefree California beach weekend, check out my full review below.
I’m no interior design expert or HGTV super fan, but I can appreciate a beautifully designed space when I see one. That’s what stood out most to me about The Green Room, which just opened last summer. The property was originally an old 1950s motel that the owners, who are two nearby residents and avid surfers, refurbished and transformed into what it is now. I never would have thought to paint an entire hotel jet black, but combined with the chic white window linings, cedarwood accents, and greenery, it makes for an unexpectedly contemporary aesthetic.
The property is lined with tall fencing and hedges surrounding the rooms and communal area, which includes a fire pit, picnic tables, and a cedar hot tub. The trendy outdoor decor is so well done that you forget you’re staying next to a parking lot off the highway. Speaking of the communal area, I love that the hotel property itself feels like a generally cool spot to hang out. It’s a welcoming environment — from the free donuts and coffee in the morning to the other guests chilling on their patios with a drink each night.
We haven’t even touched on the actual rooms yet, which are as stylishly designed as the rest of the hotel, but I’ll get more into the room details below.
NEARBY FOOD & DRINK:
Chloe Caldwell
There’s no on-site restaurant, but also no shortage of grub within walking distance of The Green Room — from the taco joint right next door, Municipal Taco, to the nearby coffee shop, Revolution Roasters, and the dive bar with live rock music and a slew of men who definitely own motorcycles, Pour House. There are endless options along the PCH, and every local restaurant and bar has its own eccentric character that adds to the vibrant energy of the city.
If there’s one restaurant you need to visit near The Green Room, it’s Wrench & Rodent. Dining somewhere with “rodent” in the name threw me off at first, but the locally beloved restaurant served some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long while.
For an appetizer, the roasted cauliflower is a must. It’s full of flavor, tangy yet salty, and weirdly juicy but in a good way. For the main event, I went with the Chronic Roll (spicy tuna, krab, and avocado deep-fried and topped with spicy aioli and sweet citrus sage) and the Dragonfly Roll (spicy tuna and shrimp tempura topped with seared albacore, avocado, citrus soy, and garlic chili). Wrench & Rodent also offers a small selection of plant-based sushi rolls.
Oh, and don’t forget to order a bottle of sake! The restaurant has a selection of different sake options to complement your meal.
AMENITIES:
Chloe Caldwell
Complimentary high-speed WiFi
Private patios in specified rooms
Smart TVs with streaming services
Communal fire pit
Cedar hot tub (for up to eight people)
Outdoor entertainment area
Grab ‘n’ go foam surfboards
Beach cruisers
ROOM TYPES:
Chloe Caldwell
The Green Room offers 12 individually curated rooms that are each uniquely designed with the ultimate boho-chic and retro-inspired decor and accents. The rooms also feature custom art by local artists — mine had an entire mural painted on the wall! There are three different room types to choose from, including six deluxe studios, five suites, and one two-bedroom suite.
I stayed in the two-bedroom suite, and I’m not exaggerating when I say I was about ready to move in. “I would live here” came out of my mouth more times in my 24-hour stay than I can count. It was basically a full two-bedroom, two-story house with a full kitchen and lots of open space. If you’re traveling with a few friends, this room type is an excellent option.
As it turns out, some people actually do move in. Thanks to The Green Room’s extended stay options (booked through Airbnb), anyone from travel nurses to international families can reside in Oceanside’s coolest property.

THE BEST THING TO DO WITHIN A 5-MINUTE WALK:
Chloe Caldwell
You can’t visit Oceanside without spending the vast majority of your time at the beach, especially when you stay somewhere like The Green Room, which has complimentary surfboards and beach cruisers available. That’s a given.
You can also take your daily outdoor adventures up a notch by renting an electric bicycle from SoCal Bike, located right next door to the hotel. The added electric-assist motors make exploring the entire city easy and accessible, from busy downtown streets to the calming coastal bike path. Plus, the bike rental comes with helmets and locks, so you can make pit stops as things catch your interest along the way.
THE BEST THING TO DO WITHIN A 5-MINUTE DRIVE:
The Green Room Hotel
The truth is that you really won’t need your car when staying at The Green Room. But if you really want to venture out, then the best thing to do is probably to head over to Carlsbad Village. It’s a bustling seaside area in the neighboring city that offers tons of dining options, boutique shopping, local cafés, bars, and ocean views.
You can pretty much spend an entire afternoon here browsing through the many shops, chilling out by the beach, and simply walking around the neighborhood while people-watching.
I love a bed that makes it nearly impossible to get up in the morning. The Green Room’s bed setup did just that, at least when it came to the master bedroom in the two-bedroom suite. Typical hotel beds can be overly plush to the point you sink into the mattress like quicksand.
What I liked about my bed at The Green Room was that it was actually quite firm, while the comforter, sheets, and pillowcases were lusciously soft against my skin. This level of comfort combined with the gentle sunlight and bird chirps outside my bedroom window made for the most calming weekend wake-up call.
Rating: 8/10
SEXINESS RATING:
Chloe Caldwell
While the property’s vibe is overall more friendly than it is your classic idea of sexy, there are plenty of aspects about The Green Room that put intimacy at the forefront. The fire pit presents the perfect opportunity to cozy up with your crush, while the hot tub helps things get a little more steamy (in more ways than one).
Not only that, but taking the on-site beach cruisers for a ride to the beach makes for a fun and flirty outing. You can also create an ambiance when you get back to your room by making use of the smart TV. Log in to your Spotify and turn on those sultry tunes to set the mood.
If you need proof of The Green Room’s sexiness level, know that I spent Valentine’s Day weekend with my S.O. here and can attest to the fact that the romance was flowing.
Rating: 8/10
THE VIEWS AND PHOTO SPOTS:
The Green Room Hotel
As a mostly single-story property right off the highway, you won’t be getting any breathtaking views without a short walk to the beach for sunset. Fortunately, the property itself offers tons of photo-ready backdrops. The bohemian, minimalist aesthetic throughout every inch of the property provides endless photo opportunities both during the day and once the sun goes down.
Rating: 7/10
BEST SEASON TO VISIT:
The Green Room Hotel
There’s no bad time to visit California, but I’d recommend staying at The Green Room during spring. It will be warm and sunny enough for beach days, surfing, and bike rides. It gets chilly after sunset at this time of the year, so you’ll still be able to make good use of the fire pit and hot tub.
IF I HAD TO COMPLAIN ABOUT ONE THING:
The Green Room Hotel
Between the friendly staff, unbeatable location, and general coolness of the property, there isn’t much to complain about at The Green Room. But if I had to pick one thing, it’d probably be that it was somewhat difficult to find the hotel’s address. That may not have to do with the actual hotel, but it made the overall experience slightly inconvenient.
It’s likely because the hotel is still pretty new, but it didn’t show up on my Apple Maps app every time I’d be trying to navigate myself there. So I had to search for the address in Google, then manually input the address. I know, it’s only a few extra clicks of the thumb. But like I said, there’s not much else to complain about!
BOOK HERE:
The room type varieties make it easier to find something within your needs and budget. Plus, The Green Room price matches and adds free early check-in or late check-out for those who find a better rate than booking with them directly. Rates vary between about $150 to $300 per night, depending on your room type preference and the time of your visit.
For the first three seasons of Stranger Things, most of the action was contained to Hawkins, Indiana, the most cursed fictional town since Buffy‘s Sunnydale, California. That will not be the case in the new season.
Based on the season four posters, the new episodes will span the globe, including Russia (David Harbour knows it well), California (where Eleven and the Byers family, Joyce, Will, and Jonathan, moved to at the end of season three); and back in the midwest at the Hawkins National Laboratory and the creepy Creel house. During Deadline’s Contenders Television panel over the weekend, Stranger Things co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer even referred to season four as their “Game of Thrones season” for how “spread out” the plot is.
We kind of jokingly call it our Game of Thrones season because it’s so spread out, so I think that’s what’s unique or most unique about the season. Joyce and Byers family to have left at the end of season three. They are in California – we’ve always wanted to have that like E.T.-esque suburb aesthetic, which we finally got to do this year in the desert; and then we have Hopper in Russia; and then of course we have a group remaining in Hawkins. So we have these three storylines, are all connected and kind of interwoven together, but it’s just very different tones.”
Oliver kicked off the segment by highlighting the all too familiar feeling of going online and seeing targeted ads that are oddly specific. “They collect your personal information, and they resell or share it with others in a sprawling, unregulated ecosystem which can get very creepy, very fast,” the late night host said.
Unfortunately, lawmakers have done nothing to rein in the wild west world of data harvesting, so Oliver decided to show them how the practice can be quickly turned against Washington D.C. by anyone feeling adventurous. The late night host produced a manila envelope filled with blackmail material that his team acquired through a “f*cking creepy” use of targeted ads in the Capital Hill area, which provided tracking data that let them easily pinpoint politicians. Via HuffPost:
“If you’re thinking, ‘How on Earth is any of this legal?’ I totally agree with you. It shouldn’t be,” he said. “And if you happen to be a legislator who is feeling a little nervous right now about whether your information is in this envelope, and if you’re terrified about what I might do with it, you might want to channel that worry into making sure that I can’t do anything.”
To keep the creepy vibes going, Oliver ended the segment with a “friendly” message. “Anyway, sleep well!” he said while gleefully holding his folder full of God knows what.
Over their decades as a band, Red Hot Chili Peppers have had a ton of chart success: “Under The Bridge,” “Scar Tissue,” and “Dani California” were top-10 singles, and every RHCP album since 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik has charted in at least the top 4. Before today, though, they only had a single No. 1 album to their name with 2006’s Stadium Arcadium. Now, about 16 years later, they add another LP to that list: Their latest, this month’s Unlimited Love, debuts on the April 16-dated Billboard 200 chart in the No. 1 spot.
This achievement is a testament to the longevity of the band, as it arrives 39 years after they formed back in 1983. Also worth noting is that the new album is the band’s first since the return of guitarist John Frusciante, who left the band after their previous No. 1 album, Stadium Arcadium.
The band generated significant buzz for the album with the lead single “Black Summer,” which topped Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay chart. They also pulled off a neat stunt earlier this month when they performed on both The Tonight Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live! on the same night, when the shows swapped hosts for their April Fools’ Day episodes.
