If you’re going to be around Bossman Dlow, you better be about your business. The Florida rapper makes that clear, directly and indirectly, through his various releases that include a pair of 2023 projects: Too Slippery & 2 Slippery. Though his philosophy lives throughout his discography, no entry with it has resonated better with listeners than his 2024 breakout single “Get In With Me.”
I can’t tell what helped Bossman’s “Get In With Me” blow up to the masses and earn an entry on the Billboard Hot 100, but personally, a celebratory TikTok from Keith Lee is what introduced the song to me. The Florida native’s music is birthed from the same atmosphere as cut-throat unforgiving records from Rob49, Real Boston Richey, EST Gee, and others. In the end, Bossman Dlow excels thanks to a simple message to listeners that live as both lyrics for “Get In With Me” and a mantra for his artistry: “You wanna be a boss? You gotta pay the price.”
Without further ado, add “Get In With Me” to your motivational playlists and scroll down to learn more about Bossman Dlow who has a sweet appreciation for Future and HER and an honest take on his past and hopeful future.

What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
18? I’ll go back a year further and say that I wish I ain’t catch that felony when I was 17. Wish I could tell myself to make better decisions. But like I said before, the past is the past. We moving towards the future.
It’s 2050. The world hasn’t ended, and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?

Samuel L. Jackson and Nicolas Cage are two actors who famously work a lot. They have a combined 335 IMDb credits. That’s so many! But it’s not even halfway to Rocco Siffredi, who has a whopping 715 credits. You might know his work from movies like Buttman’s British Moderately Big Tit Adventure, An American Buttman in London, and Intercourse with the Vampire. Soon, you’ll know everything about “the world’s greatest porn star” in a new Netflix series.
Created by Francesca Manieri (We Are Who We Are), Supersex tells “the story of how Rocco Siffredi escaped a humble life and emerged as the world’s greatest porn star.” Variety described the seven-episode show as “a hybrid between a melodrama and a coming-of-age story,” starring Alessandro Borghi as Siffredi. As you might imagine, there will be a lot of sex:
Borghi says he has roughly 40 or 50 “boundary-pushing” sex scenes in the show, some more intense than others. But what’s crucial for him is “that every scene that has to do with sex, with porn, always involves a new narrative twist for the character,” he points out. “It’s never because at that point in the narrative you needed to throw in some sex for the audience.” Instead, the steamy scenes “can be Rocco’s consecration, his happiness, or the way he faces pain.”
Supersex employed an intimacy coordinator who made the cast, including actresses Gaia Messerklinger, Jade Pedri, and Linda Caridi, feel at ease. “We did lots of different things,” Borghi said. “It was funny because the first couple of weeks we were all a little uneasy, and then the third week we stood there naked looking at scenes on the monitor. So something must have worked.”
Shortly after being nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, Jelly Roll announced that he is heading on a massive headlining run with his Beautifully Broken Tour, which will start in Salt Lake this August and run through October. Warren Zeiders and Alexandra Kay will be opening for him.
There are a few presales, including one for Citi cardholders, and this will open up on Monday, February 26. On Tuesday, February 27, Jelly Roll will then open up his artist presale for his shows, which fans can sign up for access to through his website. From there, tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, March 1 at 10 a.m. local time.

Considering M. Night Shyamalan previously made an ill-fated live-action film adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Netflix had its work cut out for it. Determined to succeed where Shyamalan failed, the streamer locked itself into delivering a new live-action series that would allow for more breathing room to translate the sprawling epic that unfolded in the acclaimed animated series.
With Season 1 now streaming on Netflix, the reviews are coming in, and well, they’re not great. Granted, the overwhelming consensus is that the live-action series easily clears the low-bar of the Shyamalan film, but critics still found themselves struggling with the show’s pacing, performances, and the overall question of why Avatar needed to be adapted into live-action when it worked so well as a cartoon.
Some critics are also comparing Avatar to Cowboy Bebop, which was a poorly received attempt to turn a beloved anime into a live-action series. That realization particularly stings, given that Netflix recently delivered a surprisingly well-received adaption of One Piece, which raised hopes for Avatar.
There was so much potential in this story − about a world in which some people have the superpower to control water, fire, earth and air through what is called “bending” − to create something gorgeous and striking in a live-action medium. Not as a shot-for-shot recreation, but as its own epic that embraced the themes and tone of its source material. But out of fear of angering die-hard fans, lack of time and/or budget or a fundamental misunderstanding of what “adaptation” really means, the new “Avatar” is a regretful mess in its first season. Both too slavish to the original and too far removed from it, the new “Avatar” fails in every way. And it’s infuriating.
While the show’s visuals and its Asian and Indigenous stars add authenticity to the series, the performances of the majority of the cast, no matter how earnest, don’t hold up to the weight of the narrative. Many of the series’ portrayals lack the extensive emotion needed to carry a show centering on the horrors of genocide, war and totalitarianism. Tonally, “Avatar: The Last Airbender” should stand alongside the nuanced sophistication of the “Harry Potter” movie adaptations or Disney+’s “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” But instead, cheesy acting and some Disney Channel-like dialogue turn what could have been a resounding epic adventure into a whimpering thud.
About half the episodes feel like they’re hustling to get through more plot than they have time for. On one hand, there’s some admirable condensing in the writing, stitching together thematically complementary elements from multiple episodes of the cartoon while also squeezing in some delightful fan service. But it comes at the expense of breathing room for all those characters and events. The result is erratic pacing, conversations that take sharp turns out of nowhere, and a general sense of unwieldiness. On the flip side, when the show takes its time, we’re treated to some truly amazing stuff.
More than anything else, the new Avatar’s pacing is what makes it feel out of sorts — not simply because of how fast the show moves but also because of how that speed creates a sense of urgency that doesn’t seem to emanate from many of the characters themselves. With a bit more room to breathe, the show’s subplots could have felt richer and its central heroes more compelling — and helped Netflix have another One Piece instead of a Cowboy Bebop.
While it’s far less condensed than Shyamalan’s film and with decently ambitious worldbuilding, Netflix’s version of Avatar rarely strives to differentiate itself from its predecessor. For those simply looking for a faithful spin on their favorite childhood show, this may be enough to delight the senses; the bar is, after all, pitifully low. But to an outsider, Avatar: The Last Airbender screams “adaptation,” with its rigid character archetypes and careful side-stepping of any notable or unique alterations. The show is lost in its fan service, a calculated (and occasionally impressive) effort to right Shyamalan’s 14-year-old wrong. But all that care becomes the series’ collapse, leaving it crushed under the weight of expectations, forever searching for any point to its existence.
While the negative/underwhelmed reviews far outweighed the positive, there were a handful of critics who warmed to the Avatar live-action remake despite any flaws and the insurmountable task of living up to the original Nickelodeon series. You can some of their thoughts below:
In the absence of the original creators, showrunner Albert Kim and his team have made a solid, fairly respectful adaptation of this tricky, tricky subject. Most of the roles are well-cast, the production values and special effects are top-notch, the action is lively, and many of the big emotional moments land well. No one who watches will consider it an abomination, whether they know the source material or are just clicking play because the algorithm told them to. At the same time, this new version makes a few iffy choices, and on the whole bumps up against the low ceiling that greets almost any such attempt at taking on an iconic work.
It is not as good as the animated series. Of course it isn’t. This is painting the Mona Lisa with colored pencil, where it may be great in its own right, but it’s just an entirely different medium that could never live up to the original masterpiece. So I think you have to grade on a bit of a curve here. I don’t know how superfans will react to the series, and I’m sure many of them will not be forgiving of aspects of it. I also don’t know what this will do for “onboarding” new fans who haven’t seen the original, which is how I approached Netflix’s One Piece adaptation (which was good!). Here, all I can say is that as a fan, I thought they did a solid job.
The landscapes sparkle, there is a giant six-legged flying bison that carries everyone spectacularly from place to place through the clouds and the young cast are up to the task. Ousley and Kiawentiio strike up a nicely spiky sibling relationship as Sokka and Katara, while Cormier gives Aang the right mix of boyish cheek and inherent authority, as the three of them uphold the impression that a child and two teenagers can defeat genocidal authoritarians with wholesome pluck, gentle sarcasm and the ability to summon a hurricane. The Airbender franchise has confidently revived itself; this won’t be the last we see of it.
Avatar: The Last Airbender is now streaming on Netflix.

There are certain things in life you don’t joke about: anything that happened less than 22.3 years ago, Taco Bell taking the 7-Layer Burrito off the menu, and Taylor Swift. Emma Stone learned that the hard way.
While backstage at the 2024 Golden Globes after winning Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy for her performance in Poor Things, Stone referred to Swift, who was in the audience clapping for her, as an “asshole.” She added, “I’ve known her for almost 20 years. I was very happy she was there and she was also nominated tonight, which was wonderful. And yes, what an asshole.” She was clearly joking, but some Swifties weren’t laughing.
“I definitely won’t make a joke like that again,” Stone told Variety, “because I saw headlines that really pulled it out of context.” She then pointed at herself and said, “What a dope.” (I need one of these shirts but with “Emma” instead of “Homer.”)
Besides, Stone is allowed to call Swift an “asshole” because they’ve been friends for a long time. The two met “at the Young Hollywood Awards when [she] was 18 in LA,” the Oscar-winning actress said last year. “We just kept in touch ever since and became great friends.” Swift may or may not have even written a song about her. Maybe that’s the issue: Stone thinks Swift is a jerk for not calling the song “When Emma Goes on Jeopardy.”
Bad Bunny kicked off his Most Wanted Tour last night (February 21) at Salt Lake City’s Delta Center, with many surprises in store for fans.
His next stop is the first of two nights at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena this Friday, February 23, and eventually, Benito will make his way to other major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and more. The last shows of his North American leg of the Most Wanted Tour will be four dates in Miami.
For those who are heading to one of Bad Bunny’s upcoming tour dates, here’s what to expect about when he’ll start performing.
What Time Does Bad Bunny Go On Stage For Most Wanted Tour?
According to a Reddit thread where someone asked what time Bad Bunny goes on stage, another user corrected that he actually started the show at 8:50 p.m., rather than at just 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. last night. This also received some upvotes, seemingly confirming the user who shared Bad Bunny’s start time.
Whether this will continue to be the same time he starts each concert on the tour is still a question. Fans will just have to wait and see, to compare to other shows.

As mentioned to Denis Villeneuve ahead, his press tour for the first Dune movie was interesting in that it’s rare we see a movie with almost universal acclaim – including a nomination for an Academy Award for Best Picture – and Villeneuve is basically out there saying, “But just wait for the second movie.”
Here’s the thing: after now having seen that said second movie, good grief he wasn’t kidding. While the first film introduces us to a whole host of interesting characters and concepts and worlds, the second film puts all of those attributes in motion – and adds Austin Butler’s sinister and absolutely demonic Feyd – and delivers one of the most phenomenal sci-fi adventures ever put to screen. Remember, Dune was supposed to be an unfilmable book. And the 1984 movie, though endearing these days, was kind of supposed to prove that. Dune: Part Two very much proves it is a filmable book.
Picking up where the first part leaves off, Paul (Timothée Chalamet), and his mother, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) have joined the freman, led by Stilgar (Javier Bardem). Stilgar believes Paul is their savior and will lead them to victory versus the invaders who are there to take precious spice. Paul doesn’t quite buy that he’s the savior, but agrees to fight alongside Stilgar and Chani (Zendaya) and complete the numerous challenges required of him … which includes mounting and riding a sandworm.
Ahead, Villeneuve explains why, first, he really needs some sleep and why it might be a while before we see the third chapter (and adaptation of Frank Herbert’s second book), Dune: Messiah. He tells us why this second chapter was both challenging and unbelievably fun to make – and goes into great detail about how he made the sandworm riding scene look so spectacular. He explains why Austin Butler can channel pure demonic evil so well as Feyd (with no speedo like Sting wore) and why it was so important to have a scene of Josh Brolin’s Gurney playing the baliset. Also, did I mention that Villeneuve really wants some sleep?
When the first Dune came out, on your press tour I’ve never really seen a director getting almost universal acclaim, and you’re like, “no, no, no. Wait for the second one.”
The thing is, I knew that Part One was like an introduction. Was like an appetizer. And I knew that the Part Two will have all the substance. It was much more emotional movie, with more action. In a way, for a director, it was more exciting for me to do Part Two. There was something about it that it was much more challenging. But it was more playful, and the toys were bigger.
That’s true.
It was much more ambitious and much more complex. But I had a tremendous amount… I had a lot of fun. We started the movie, exhausted. Because we were out on the press tour of Part One. And there was no break in between both movies. But what kept me alive was the excitement of what was coming ahead of me. Actually, I made sure that each word of the screenplay, I would be excited by. And there will be no moment where I will just “do something.” I was making sure that the screenplay was as strong as I wanted. And also, I was excited to go deeper into the character’s relationships. We had barely seen Chani in the first one. I had a glimpse on Stilgar. But, the favorite part of Dune, for me, is the Fremen culture. And I felt that, finally, I had the chance to embrace it, and to go deeper, and to play with it.
It’s out there now that Dune: Part Two doesn’t wrap up the story and ends again on another cliffhanger. Are you glad that’s out there so people aren’t surprised? Because I think a lot of people think this wraps everything up, and it doesn’t.
I was destabilized by the appetite for Dune Messiah. I’m here to talk about Dune: Part II. There’s a part of me who is very happy to be away from the desert.
Right…
For now, I’ve had my share of sand and I would love to take a little break from Arrakis before going back, if ever I go back. I will go back if there’s a strong screenplay on the table. It’s a work in progress right now. So, I have nothing to say about Dune Messiah, other than it could be interesting to finish. Totally finalize the poetry, this arc. But I will say that, for me, I tried to complete the story in the two first movies. And to see that, if it stopped there, there was a part of me that I knew I will have spent enough time in Arrakis.
Well, you’ve said before you want to take a break. You just said again you want to take a break. Does taking a break mean from Dune? Or is there another movie like Enemy in you? Do you want to make movies during this break, or do you want an actual break?
I wish I had an actual break. I don’t think I will have a break.
Okay.
But I think I could have just a little bit… Well, I’m talking about just a few weeks to sleep. I’m just talking about a few weeks of sleeping. And just dreaming. There are many stories that I want to do and I have a lot of projects. And, of course, I love Dune. But it’s like, I think it could be interesting to do a small movie, and then go back to Dune after. Just to give a bit of breathing and to create a little bit of distance. And perspective. And create an appetite also.
Not to mention Blade Runner 2049, too. You had three huge, huge movies in a row.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And no breaks in between. Let’s say that the past ten years I didn’t stop. And I feel I’m blessed as a director, but as a human being, I would love to spend a little bit more time with my family. But I just feel that I want to make sure that the next screenplays I’m working on, I will make no compromise. And I will work on very strong screenplays. And I want to take the time for that. So the answer will be, I will not stop. But I just want to make sure that the screenplays are ready. I will not rush production if I don’t have something solid on the table. That’s the only thing I will say. I will shoot Dune Messiah when it’s like, rock solid.
Well, selfishly, I always want more movies from you. But I do believe you, I can tell from your face. You probably do need some time for you and your family.
[Laughs] That’s with makeup by the way.
Austin Butler in this movie as Feyd is demonic. Where did this come from?
Austin is a very playful actor, very versatile. And I think that we have to put it into perspective that he was just coming out of Elvis at the time. And that’s why, one of the reasons. First of all, I had been absolutely floored by his performance in the movies I’ve seen from him. But, I knew also that he had the strong will to break the mold and to go somewhere he has not been before. And when you have an actor like that, of that talent, that is willing to go too far, to break rules, and to push the limits? It is so rewarding. And I had a lot of fun developing the Feyd-Rautha character with him. And I’m so excited about what he brought to the screen. It’s a very important character in the Dune mythology. If not, one of the most important. And I know that the Dune fans are having high expectations. And I’m very, very excited about our version of Feyd-Rautha. And I’m really looking forward to sharing it with them.
Even the David Lynch Dune movie, people still talk about Sting as that character.
And we didn’t have the jock strap.
No, you did not. Though Dune fans will be happy Gurney plays the baliset? I feel that was important for you to get in there this time. Because I think it got cut in the first movie, right?
Yeah. It’s one of the things that sometimes, when in the editing room, you have to kill darlings for the sake of the movie. And it hurt, but I’m very, I think, severe with the material. And it’s a moment that I really loved in Part One that I had to cut out. And the only way I did this is, I promised myself that I will find a moment to embrace that quality of the character who is Gurney. It’s very important in the book as a musician. And I wanted to make sure that this will be part of Part Two.
The sandworm riding scene, it looks incredible. There’s a fine line between it looks cool and it doesn’t look great. In the 1984 Lynch movie, it looks kind of weird. And I am not putting that movie down, I actually quite like it. But it looks phenomenal here.
I don’t want to compare with what’s been done before. And all due respect with David Lynch, he’s a master.
One hundred percent.
He did the movie at a specific time, where we have to remember that I have the power of computers that they didn’t have at the time. I can do things today that were absolutely impossible.
But I’m wondering, even with the computers, was it still challenging to make it look as great as it does?
It is by far one of the most challenging scenes I have designed in my life. I mean, first of all, to create the technique of the Fremen? That was not really described in the book. I had to come up with a strategy. How to approach a beast like that. How do you approach a sandworm without being crushed by it? How do you jump on a sandworm? What was the Fremen approach to master the beast? And how will we see Paul? Having some intuitive skills, but still being a bit clumsy because this is the first time? How to see the power, and create something edgy. That looks like a motorbike racing. Racing motorbikes or something.
Right…
It was that kind of energy I was looking for. And so I designed the sequence. And I designed a strategy, a technical strategy how I would achieve those shots. And after the meeting, I remember the silence. Because it was really ambitious. I wanted a level of realism and a feeling of danger and speed. That really was very important for me. And it required a tremendous amount of time to do that, and a lot of R&D. But I’m very pleased with the result. It’s something that it’s exactly what I had in mind. When I was a kid, I was thinking about worm riding…
Oh yeah?
That’s the way I figured it out. And I’m happy you enjoyed it.
You’ve got about a month of press left. Then maybe you get to sleep. So I know you’re not done yet. But remember when we would hear that Dune was unfilmable? Is there part of you that’s just like, “Man, I fucking pulled this off.”
[Laughs] I think you can say that. Me? I’m still… having no distance with it, it’s like every movie. When you finish a movie, you have the joys and the pain. And I’m digesting all this right now. And that’s why I need to go back and to think about what just happened. And it’s like, you know what? Before I started the Part One, one of the first very very first meetings, I had with one artist. When nobody knew about the project, but very few producers? I met with Hans Zimmer and we had a dinner together. And Hans absolutely adored the book like me. We are both hardcore fans of the book.
He said to me, it’s a beautiful project but isn’t it dangerous, perilous, to approach dreams from your childhood? Are we bound to fail? And I understand what he meant. It’s like to try to bring your childhood dreams, your teenage dreams, to the screen. It’s a lot of joy and a lot of melancholia. And some you win, and some you fail. And it’s like, I’m still digesting all this. And I’m trying to make peace with all that happened. And I’m talking about myself, not the world. And yeah, it will take me awhile to digest all this. One thing I must say finishing is … of course it was a crazy privilege to do that.
