Josh Levi is back again for another smooth performance on UPROXX Sessions. Earlier this week, he helped kick off the latest season of Uproxx’s one-take performance show with his single “Birthday Dance,” and today, the multitalented Texan returns to perform another standout from his 2022 project DISC TWO, “She Keeps Coming.”

In contrast to the upbeat “Birthday Dance,” “She Keeps Coming” is a chest-beating ballad (an amusing combination) in which he boasts to a romantic rival that their mutual interest is choosing Levi. Naturally, there’s a bit of a double entendre with the title, explaining exactly why Josh is the superior man. “He’s gotta be high, he can’t be sober,” he sings, “Can’t blame the next guy who has your old girl.” In this performance, he also nods to one of his inspirations, slipping in some lyrics from Beyoncé’s 2003 solo breakout hit “Crazy In Love.”

You can watch Josh Levi’s performance of “She Keeps Comin’” for UPROXX Sessions above.

UPROXX Sessions is Uproxx’s performance show featuring the hottest up-and-coming acts you should keep an eye on. Featuring creative direction from LA promotion collective, Ham On Everything, and taking place on our “bathroom” set designed and painted by Julian Gross, UPROXX Sessions is a showcase of some of our favorite performers, who just might soon be yours, too.

Josh Levi is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Amen Dunes, the project of Damon McMahon, is releasing a new album Death Jokes, which is set to drop in May. McMahon has now provided fans with a glimpse of the project by putting out a song called “Boys.”

The record marks his first full release since 2018’s Freedom. “‘Boys’ is another interstitial character portrait, this time about outcasts, ‘bad kids,’ and seeing things from their side: ‘Everything you’ve done, it’s been done to you too,’” McMahon shared about the song in a statement.

Overall, “Boys” is propelled by an indie rock instrumental that layers the drums and vocals to create an eerie and psychedelic effect.

There was also a music video released with the song, which was directed by Steven Brahms. This taps into the same mysterious aspects that grab the listeners’ attention. Throughout the video, chaos starts as the boys tear the living room apart.

“We only had one shot to destroy the room,” says Brahms. “The guys in the video gave us such an authentic look and flow. Everyone on the crew was buzzing after the shoot and we knew we had something special. Destruction can be very cathartic.”

Check out “Boys” above.

Death Jokes is out 5/10 via Sub Pop. Find more information here.

Nicolas Cage is back with a new film, and if you’ve ever wanted to see the eclectic actor have a knife fight with aliens (Or at least we think they’re aliens?), boy, are you in luck.

In the first trailer for Arcadian, Cage and his twin sons live in a dystopian future where pollution has ravaged the Earth. More pressingly, that pollution opened the door for some sort of horrifying creatures to begin wiping out humanity. However, the creatures only move at night, and they are aggressive in trying to reach their prey.

Pushed to the brink, Cage and his sons decided to finally fight back as they take the fight to the terrifying invaders, who are not about to go down easy.

Here’s the official synopsis:

In a near future, normal life on Earth has been decimated. Paul and his two sons, Thomas and Joseph, have been living a half-life – tranquility by day and torment by night. Every night, after the sun sets, they face the unrelenting attacks of a mysterious and violent evil. One day, when Thomas doesn’t return home before sundown, Paul must leave the safety of their fortified farm to find him. A nightmarish battle ensues that forces the family to execute a desperate plan to survive.

Arcadian opens in theaters on April 12.

GREENSBORO — With a career spanning nearly 40 years, everyone has their own Sting story. My introduction to wrestling came when I was three years old in Worcester, Massachusetts, when my brother escaped our father’s grasp, climbed under the guard rail, and tried to fight Rick Rude, who was mercilessly beating the WCW star in front of us. I have very few memories with my father, but we always had wrestling. And we always had Sting.

Sunday night in Greensboro, North Carolina, 16,000 fans (per WrestleTix) packed into the Greensboro Coliseum — an arena of historical significance, where Sting had his breakout moment against Ric Flair in 1988 — to see him ride off into the sunset. Hundreds of similar stories carried throughout the arena, with attire ranging the many eras of Sting from surfer blonde, NWO stints, Crow, the Joker, and modern-day Sting.

Some fans saw him as part of the Blade Runners, tagging with the man who’d eventually become the Ultimate Warrior. Others were introduced by chance, whether they watched him main event a house show, played as him in a video game, or saw him sitting in the rafters and were captivated by his presence. The stories of how fans came to love Sting are endless.

But until Sunday, it never felt like Sting had his perfect story. The man who was the ultimate team player in an industry that can be cutthroat has overcome his fair share of booking missteps along the way — RoboCop, Starrcade 1997, and his loss to Triple H at WrestleMania stand out in particular.

Unceremoniously, Sting’s career wrapped up early in September 2015, just four matches into his lone WWE stint. A buckle powerbomb led to temporary paralysis, a realization that he had cervical spinal stenosis, and it put an unexpected end to his iconic professional wrestling career.

A little over five years later, Sting set the wheels in motion for arguably his greatest run in wrestling as part of AEW. He joined the company unsure if he could still go in the ring, so he agreed to a cinematic match with Darby Allin against Brian Cage and Ricky Starks.

For the next three years, AEW founder and CEO Tony Khan did everything he could to honor the legend, the icon, Sting.

“Sting stepped away from pro wrestling for several years and by all indications, he was going to retire. He felt he had a great run in him alongside his tag team partner, Darby Allin. He’s had some of the most exciting and memorable matches in AEW in the last several years and Sting has accumulated an undefeated record where Sting is, in many ways, the most successful wrestler in AEW,” Khan told Uproxx Sports ahead of All In last year.

“Every time he steps in the ring we try to pay tribute to his great career and how honored we are to have Sting with us.”

Sting has held up his end of the bargain as well. He put on matches that showed he could still go. And he also showed how much fun he was having being back in (and around) the ring — Sting exchanging “strikes” with Orange Cassidy remains one of my favorite moments of this entire run.

He jumped off of almost everything, performed spots that defied his 64-year-old body, and created memories alongside budding and current stars that redefine how his legacy will be remembered.

“I think it’s amazing that he came in during the pandemic when there were barely any fans and took a chance considering he never had to get back in the ring again. And then to be rewarded at Wembley and setting the all-time attendance record in wrestling. And then to have pretty much the whole pay-per-view, Revolution, be based around this and the proper send off with his sons and everything that went into it,” Darby Allin said.

“This was all his baby. And it’s amazing that we, at the end of the night, can be like, we did it. And not have any regrets — wake up, oh man, we shit the bed last night. There’s no regrets. Like, this was amazing. Thank you, Sting.”

At the end of the day, the story of Sting was concluded in a way legends are sure to take notice of. He was paid the proper respect. He finally got his big moment in front of more than 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium along the way. And when it came time to sign off for one last time, he was booked on a show that was built around paying tribute to him in an arena that meant a great deal to his career.

You could see how meaningful it was for Sting to be flanked by his sons, who were dressed in original surfer Sting and NWO Wolfpack Sting gear after being attacked by the Bucks a few weeks ago. Khan and the Bucks refused to let Sting go out on his back, per Justin Barrasso from SI, another move away the sometimes archaic ways of professional wrestling’s past. Instead they celebrated his career with a stellar match that paid tribute to the eras of Sting in a unique way, beautifully blending the past with modern day wrestling.

Khan called it the “greatest comeback ever” and the best sendoff in professional wrestling history. Sting said he felt like his final match against the Young Bucks was one of the top three matches of his entire career.

“That’s a big statement,” Sting added. “I really do mean that. And what a way to end it with AEW. So kudos to the Bucks. And of course, Darby. Of course, Tony. The whole thing could not have been any better.”

And now, nearly 40 years after he started his career, Sting can sign off with his perfect story.

Vampire Weekend broke their five-year silence with “Capricorn” and “Gen-X Cops,” two singles that Uproxx’s Steven Hyden listed among his “Favorite Music Of February 2024.” Only God Was Above Us, the band’s first album since 2019’s Grammy winner Father Of The Bride, will be released on April 5, but Vampire Weekend gave fans a podcast to tide them over until then. The first episode of Vampire Campfire dropped this morning, March 7.

A press release provided a thorough synopsis of the podcast, as excerpted below:

“Hosted by Ezra Koenig, Chris Baio, and Chris Tomson and captured on a trio of Ikegami ITC-730AP cameras, the podcast will be released semi-regularly for the foreseeable future. Fans who tune in will be invited behind the scenes into a longstanding and formerly private Vampire Weekend ritual: the frequent campfire chats where Baio, CT and Koenig convene to discuss and brainstorm all things VW — and so much more.

Observant listeners will spot the occasional Easter egg, while all will be treated to advance insights into the upcoming Only God Was Above Us album and tour — and will be invited to witness as the band members reminisce about the past and discuss important matters in the present, ranging from tour openers, set lists and the potential of a future album called The 40-Year-Old Email, to such controversial topics as the dominant type of taco shell and The Real World vs Road Rules. Future episodes will see the band delve deeper into the new album and will feature some very special guests.”

Vampire Weekend’s Only God Was Above Us Tour Poster

Only God Was Above Us is out 4/5 via Columbia. Find more information here.

This season of Abbott Elementary has proven that there is nothing Quinta Brunson cannot do. If she wants to implement a time jump, she can. If she wants to give her character a better job, then she can! If she wants her show to air twice in one week, then who is ABC to tell her, an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress/writer that she cannot? So she is!

You might have noticed that there was no new episode of Abbott Elementary this week, and it’s for a good reason. Episode 6 will air directly after the Oscars this Sunday evening after all of those shiny statues are handed out and Ryan Gosling has sung the final act of “I’m Just Ken.” Like previous Abbott episodes, it will land on Hulu around 3 am EST Monday morning. But don’t stay up, it’s a school night.

Here is the synopsis for episode six: “Abbott Elementary is deemed a Philadelphia historical landmark, much to Ava and Janine’s delight; the school plans a celebration in honor of its namesake, but not everything goes as planned.” The episode will also feature Brady Bunch icon, Jennifer Elise Cox.

How could it possibly get better? Episode 7, titled “The Librarian” will air Wednesday before arriving on Hulu on Thursday. So that’s two new Abbott episodes next week.

By most accounts, Robert Downey Jr. is the odds-on favorite this weekend to win his first Oscar for Best Supporting Actor – something that, unless there’s a huge upset, will most likely happen. He’s been nominated twice before: a Best Actor nomination for Chaplin* (having no real chance in a stacked year, up against Denzel Washington for Malcolm X, Clint Eastwood for Unforgiven, and winner Al Pacino for Scent of a Woman) and a Supporting Actor nomination for playing Kirk Lazarus in Tropic Thunder (again having no real chance against posthumous winner Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight.)

(*Speaking of Chaplin, I had somehow never seen it and decided I should probably watch it before writing this piece. I had always avoided it because I had a good idea what it would be like. Here’s the thing about a lot of movies: they are never quite what you think they are going to be. Except Chaplin. It’s exactly what you think it’s going to be. It’s a movie genetically engineered in an early 1990s lab to get a Best Picture Oscar nomination, which it failed to do. Though, Downey is really good.)

Downey is one of those actors where it just kind of feels like he’s won one before, even though he most certainly hasn’t. Maybe it’s the inevitability of it all? Maybe it’s the whole Marvel thing? (We’ll get to that.) But there doesn’t seem to be the usual excitement surrounding one of the best actors of our time finally winning his first Oscar. In fact, it’s strangely the opposite. At least in my social media feeds I see a lot of, “Wouldn’t it be cool if Gosling pulled an upset?” I mean, sure, who doesn’t like Ryan Gosling? But Downey has been at this for, somehow, over 40 years now with the ups and the well-documented downs. To put it bluntly: the guy is due.

I rewatched Oppenheimer before I wrote this – a movie I think is well made, but also didn’t like as much as most people seem to like it – trying to really pay attention to what made Downey click so well in this movie. The thing is, I’ve rewatched a lot of Robert Downey Jr. movies recently. Everything from Less Than Zero (he’s truly fantastic), to The Pick-up Artist, to Chances Are, to Only You.* Downey is an actor who has a true baseline for how he approaches almost every scene and it’s served him well over the years and it’s a large reason why he’s so good as Tony Stark. In Oppenheimer, Downey seems to eschew all of that and do the opposite. There are literally scenes where you can tell he’s about to let the Downey charm/smarm fly, but still manages to stop himself. It’s like he’s pulling a George Costanza here and going against every natural impulse he has as an actor – but the difference here is Downey’s natural impulses have made him one of the most successful and wealthy actors in the world. It takes a lot of willpower to tell yourself, “Why don’t we not do that this time?”

(*A quick aside here about Chances Are and Only You, two movies starring Robert Downey Jr. with its title taken from hit pop songs from the 1950s. The plot of Chances Are (oh goodness this plot), Downey plays the reincarnated husband of Cybil Shepherd who is dating their daughter (yep). After a bump on the head, he realizes who he is and is now reunited with the love of his life. In Only You, Marisa Tomei plays a woman who was told by a psychic that her soul mate is a man named Damon Bradley. While vacationing in Europe, she meets a man played by Downey who says his name is Damon Bradley. My point here: these two movies should switch titles.)

The other thing I noticed rewatching Oppenheimer … the character of Lewis Strauss kind of sucks. I mean this as a compliment to Downey, because why on Earth should we care at all about this character one way or another, even as a villain? Here’s a movie about the making of the atomic bomb, but the entire third act is focused on Lewis Strauss’s failed confirmation hearing for Commerce Secretary and Strauss’s role in J. Robert Oppenheimer losing his security clearance, something he didn’t really even need at the time. The only reason we care is because of Downey. With almost any other actor, we’d be sitting there thinking, Wait, what’s this about again? But Downey is so enigmatic and interesting as Strauss, it’s captivating despite itself. Downey holds that whole third act together by sheer willpower. (With an assist from Alden Ehrenreich, who should have gotten more attention for his part here.)

Oh, right, the Marvel part. I do wonder if “being the face of the Marvel Cinematic Universe” for over a decade made it a little less, for lack of a better term, “exciting” for the rooting interests that Downey will most likely win an Oscar. “Oh this guy who has everything? Welp, he’s getting more.” I’ll admit, I have mixed feelings about his role in Marvel, too. On the one hand, well, he’s terrific as Tony Stark. Every MCU movie he appeared in just has something the others don’t. And we can tell today that the current iteration of the MCU feels pretty lost without him. And, in 2008, Downey was an actor who was on the comeback with both Zodiac and Tropic Thunder, but Iron Man was the ultimate breakthrough that cemented his legacy. Also, it made him very rich. These are all good things.

But, selfishly, it was kind of annoying the kind of performances that we saw in Zodiac went away until … well, now. Basically 15 full years. Between the first Iron Man being released (so this doesn’t include his other two already filmed 2008 movies) and Oppenheimer, Downey starred in a grand total of five movies that were not as Tony Stark: Two Sherlock Holmes movies (in retrospect, it’s kind of wild a successful sort-of franchise was made out of Sherlock Holmes), the Todd Phillips comedy, Due Date, The Judge, and Doolittle – which, as also executive producer, seemed like Downey’s attempt at a new franchise. Even though that movie somehow grossed a quarter of a billion dollars, it’s currently sitting at 15 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and most definitely it will not be a new franchise.

However, I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if Doolittle had been a huge success. (What a weird sentence.) Was that the kick Downey needed to give this performance? For him to remember, Oh, yeah, I’m not just a movie star, I’m one hell of an actor. In reality, nothing is ever that simple and binary, but that’s the way I’ve decided it all went down … Tony Stark had to die and Dr. John Dolittle had to be almost universally hated so Rear Admiral Lewis Strauss could win Downey his first Oscar. Honestly, we should be celebrating all of this. (Especially those last two things.)

After The Marías previously teased their new album with a cryptic underwater video, the band has now announced their next album titled Submarine. They also had another surprise for fans today, as they have shared a new single from it called “Run Your Mouth.”

“All the sh*t you put me through put me through / And now you’re talking bout me too and I know / That I could never get away from you / I’ll wait for you to turn around and talk it through but we won’t,” lead singer María Zardoya sings over a chill and groovy instrumental.

Directed by Bethany Vargas, the entertaining music video leans into the album’s color palette of blue, as the band performs in a few futuristic-looking spaces. It also creatively plays with doubles of the band members appearing throughout.

“This was one of the first songs Josh and I wrote on Submarine,” Zardoya added in a statement. “I was conflict-avoidant at the time and whenever someone wanted to talk about something serious, I’d run and hide. I learned that was a protective mechanism and I didn’t have the capacity to open up. There’s no other song on the album like it, hope you dance to this one.”

Check out “Run Your Mouth” above.

Submarine is out 5/31 via Nice Life Recording Company/Atlantic Records. Find more information here.

The Marías are a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

HBO’s Game of Thrones creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, stepped away from Westeros (and they had very lucrative offers to produce more of George R.R. Martin’s work) to head into the sci-fi realm for Netflix. That’s probably a relief for both Benioff and Weiss and the dragon-loving audience (who wasn’t thrilled with the event series’ final season) at large, and now, the pair’s first collaboration with their new streaming service is almost upon us.

Here’s another tidbit that might come as a source of relief for those who have a sour taste in their mouths after Daenerys was reduced to a mad bear. Unlike with Game of Thrones, 3 Body Problem is based upon Liu Cixin’s already completed bestselling novel trilogy of the same name. In other words, there’s not as much danger of this show, if it should last multiple seasons, running out of source material and going off book. Not that it’s guaranteed to not go off the rails, but there’s not as strong of a chance of it doing so. Let’s be optimistic and discuss what we can expect from this new series.

Plot

Benioff and Weiss are accompanied by fellow producer Alexander Woo (True Blood, The Terror) and director Derek Tsang (Soul Mate, Better Days) in this thriller series that bends genres and explores humanity’s position in the grand scheme of the universe. The title refers to three stars orbiting each other, and the story follows Earth’s discovery of aliens within this system. Expect to be bathed in mysteries and catastrophic developments that put humanity into jeopardy, and the story stretches across time, including 1960s China and contemporary New York City and England. Of primary significance — and this is an incredibly simplistic description — would be the threat of an alien invasion and how humanity decides to counter/greet that threat. Complex scientific concepts swirl, and then there’s another concept to be had…

Spoiler alert…

Seriously, that’s your warning.

Maybe don’t contact those aliens! Bad idea.

To avoid any real spoilers, let’s move onto reassurances by Benioff, who promises that “tremendous love and respect for the books” carried the day. Further, “[I]t’s very important to us that the show stand on its own two legs and work for people who have read the books — and for people who haven’t read the books.” As for Woo, he further reveals that book readers should not expect a carbon copy for the TV series:

“The experience of watching a television series is different from watching a feature film, [which] is so different from the experience of reading a novel. What we are hoping to do is to convey the experience — if not necessarily the exact details — of the novel onto the screen. What stayed, we hope, is the sense of wonderment and the sense of scope, of scale, where the problems are no longer just the problems of an individual or even a nation, but of an entire species.”

Netflix, as well, keeps things brief in their synopsis:

A young woman’s fateful decision in 1960s China reverberates across space and time to a group of brilliant scientists in the present day. As the laws of nature unravel before their eyes five former colleagues reunite to confront the greatest threat in humanity’s history.

Cast

Familiar faces from Game of Thrones are definitely on the scene. Those include John Bradley, Sir Jonathan Pryce, and Liam Cunningham. Additionally, the cast includes Benedict Wong (Annihilation, the MCU), Eiza González (Ambulance, I Care A Lot), Jess Hong (The Brokenwood Mysteries), Jovan Adepo (When They See Us), Rosalind Chao (Sweet Tooth), and Marlo Kelly (Joe vs. Carole, Inventing Anna).

Release Date

The full first season of 3 Body Problem debuts on March 21.

Trailer(s)

Netflix has dropped a few of ’em. Even if you were turned off by the final Game of Thrones season, you gotta admit that this looks promising.

After winning a primary to become the Republican candidate for North Carolina‘s gubernatorial race, Mark Robinson instantly started making headlines thanks to a well-documented trail of controversial statements. Despite a crowded field that includes Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Kari Lake, and the big guy himself, Donald Trump, Robinson has surprisingly managed to vault himself to the top as the GOP’s most outlandish candidate.

During Wednesday’s night episode, The Daily Show went to town on Robinson’s record, and there was no shortage of material. The gubernatorial candidate has a history of denying the Holocaust, making transphobic statements, openly opining that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote, and at one point, referring to the Parkland school shooting survivors as “spoiled little bastards.”

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Via Huffpost:

“Wow!” said guest host Ronny Chieng. “This guy hates everybody. Gay people, Jewish people, women, school shooting survivors, Beyoncé.”

“I mean, this guy is so into hating people, he even hates MLK,” Chieng onted. “I know we’re a divided country but I thought the one thing we could all agree on is MLK — good. And by the way, you can’t just hate on everyone and leave out the Asians, that’s racist.”

While Robinson’s stances should make him a pariah in a reasonable society, he could be running an entire state by the end of the year because Robinson’s rhetoric is warmly welcomed by the GOP.

He’s “perfect symbol of where the Republican Party is at right now,” Chieng quipped to The Daily Show audience.
