It happened. This morning, January 8, Kid Cudi finally revealed the tracklist for Insano. In September, Cudi announced that he had “to push Insano back til January,” and now, it is one of Uproxx’s “Most Anticipated Albums Of 2024” list. It will also be one of the first significant drops of the year, as Insano is due out this Friday, January 12.

The 21-song tracklist boasts features from A$AP Rocky, DJ Drama, Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, Pharrell, Travis Scott, Young Thug, and the late XXXTentacion. “At The Party” featuring Pharrell and Scott arrived in November, a worthy consolation prize to fans still crushed from December 2022, when Cudi put to bed any hope of a collaborative album from Cudi and Scott.

“INSANO is to be enjoyed from the beginning to the end,” Cudi wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “Please if u can, refrain from jumpin around just to hear the features. Experience it like a film, put it on and let it ride. Trust me. I designed it that way for the best experience possible [smiley emoji, peace-sign emoji, praying-hands emoji, stars emoji] thanx.”

Since entering the public domain, Mickey Mouse, er, the “Steamboat Willie” version of Mickey Mouse has already appeared in one cheaply-made horror movie trailer (with more to come). There’s also a video game called Infestation: Origins in the works and memes showing Mickey steering the OceanGate submersible, among other catastrophes.

Now it’s Adult Swim‘s turn to get in on the fun.

This 15-second loop, which shows black and white “Mickey” getting intimate with the words “public domain bitch,” aired on Adult Swim sometime late on Sunday night, January 7th. It’s honestly more entertaining than 80 percent of the Golden Globes that were happening at the same time.

Jennifer Jenkins, director of the Duke Center for the Study of the Public Domain, explained what you can’t do with public domain Mickey. Namely: “Do not confuse consumers into thinking that your creation is produced or sponsored by Disney as a matter of trademark law. One way to help ensure that your audience is not confused is to make the actual source of the work – you or your company – clear on the title screen or cover, along with a prominent disclaimer indicating that your work was not produced, endorsed, licensed, or approved by Disney.”

But having the mouse hump the word “bitch”? That’s fair game.

21 Savage has one of the more interesting backstories in hip-hop, so much so that it’s being made into a movie.

The rapper teased the project, a biopic called American Dream: The 21 Savage Story, on Instagram yesterday, January 7. He did so with a promotional image featuring himself, Donald Glover, and Stranger Things star Caleb McLaughlin, the latter two of whom will be playing Savage at different points in his life, it appears. The post was also co-authored by Glover’s Instagram account.

The image notes the movie is “coming soon.” The Epic Records and Slaughter Gang logos are on the poster, so they’re presumably involved in the production.

For now, that’s pretty much all there is to know about the movie. The poster includes a link to a website for the film, 21savage.americandream.com, but it does not appear to be active yet as of this post.

Meanwhile, aside from the movie, 21 Savage fans can also expect a new album in the near future. In December, Savage billboards started popping up in Atlanta, presumably in promotion of a new project. This came after a performance in the UK, during which he said, “London, I love y’all. I hope this ain’t my last time seeing y’all. And my album finna drop, so y’all get ready.”

Should Billie Eilish find herself asking, “What Was I Made For?” — the title of her and Finneas’ Barbie single — I hope she stumbles upon this post on X (formerly Twitter) by Keith Nelson Jr.: “Billie Eilish has been able to legally drink alcohol for one year and has one of the most decorated careers in music history.” Zero lies told. Seven Grammys, two Golden Globes, one Oscar. And her most recent Golden Globe victory came on Sunday night, January 7, when she and Finneas accepted Best Original Song, Motion Picture for “What Was I Made For?”

Eilish handled the one-minute-long acceptance speech. “You know, it was exactly a year ago, almost, that we were shown the movie, and I was very, very miserable and depressed at the time,” she said, in part. “Writing that song kind of saved me a little bit, and a year later, here we are. And it’s really surreal. I feel incredibly, incredibly lucky and grateful.” Eilish ended on a joke (?) about the star-power in the room, noting, “You guys scare the living hell out of me — everyone in this room — but thank you so much.”

Of course, objective onlookers can see that Eilish has no reason to feel intimidated. To equate critical acclaim, fame, and accolades to self-esteem would be stupid, but for the sake of this article, it is worth noting that “What Was I Made For?” is nominated four times at the upcoming 2024 Grammys and is expected to receive a nod at the 2024 Oscars as well.

Eilish’s forthcoming third solo album is among Uproxx’s “Most Anticipated Albums Of 2024” list, as Finneas relayed the LP is “85 percent done” within a Mr. Porter profile published last month. However, over the weekend, Eilish and Finneas gave a more specific update to The Associated Press.

“It’s happening,” Eilish said. “We are almost finished, by days, with this album, but it’s not coming out soon. Soon-ish.” Finneas added, “We’re just almost done making it.”

Draymond Green was reinstated by the NBA on Sunday, rejoining the Warriors team after what became a 12-game suspension following his latest incident in which he swung around wildly and hit Jusuf Nurkic in the face.

It was the second suspension Green was given for crossing the line on the court, having served a 5-game suspension for choking out Rudy Gobert during an altercation earlier in the season. After that punishment, Green was defiant, angry that the league was punishing him for past actions and felt they were not being fair to him. However, his tone was considerably different after hitting Nurkic, as he agreed to seek some professional help for his anger issues and impulse control on the floor as part of the agreement for his indefinite suspension.

On Monday, Green brought back his podcast with Volume Sports and in his first episode back he detailed the conversations he had with the league and how Adam Silver talked him out of retiring.

“I told him, ‘Adam this is too much for me. … This is too much. It’s all becoming too much for me — and I’m going to retire,’” Green said. “And Adam said, ‘You’re making a very rash decision and I won’t let you do that.’ We had a long, great conversation — very helpful to me. Very thankful to play in a league with a commissioner like Adam who’s more about helping you than hurting you…helping you than punishing you. He’s more about the players.”

In the immediate aftermath there were a few small rumblings that Green might call it a career, but those went away pretty quickly and it seems that’s because there was some consideration of that in the moment by Draymond but he was quickly talked out of it. It would have been a pretty sad way for Green’s career to come to an end, and hopefully he can write a much better final chapter of his career than getting constantly suspended for crossing the line on the court. The Warriors certainly need his presence and need him at his best, and the next month will likely determine how they proceed with Green back in the fold, as they need to assess what changes must be made at the deadline to try and maximize this roster.

Looking for an anime that’s also a cooking show? I didn’t think I was either until I watched the first episode of Studio Trigger’s Delicious in Dungeon on Netflix.

Based on the beloved and recently-concluded manga by Ryōko Kui, Delicious in Dungeon is about a group of adventurers in a Dungeons and Dragons-like campaign who are forced to get creative with their culinary options. In the first episode, they eat Huge Scorpion and Walking Mushroom Hotpot, which tastes better than it sounds (don’t forget the slime!).

Netflix is bypassing their all-at-once binge model (thank you, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans) in favor of weekly, single-serving episodes on Thursdays. There’s only one episode on the streaming service so far, so it’s easy to catch up.

Here’s more:

When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions…and a member! They’re eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they’re sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!” Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons… none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!

You can watch a trailer for Delicious in Dungeon below.

Christopher Nolan set the internet afire last week after sharing a hilarious anecdote about a Peloton instructor who trashed Tenet while he was attending her (virtual) class. Social media sleuths quickly went to work finding the class and instructor, Jenn Sherman, who made a response video apologizing to Nolan and inviting him to get a little revenge by personally critiquing one of her upcoming classes.

Naturally, the viral topic came up at the Golden Globes, and Nolan quickly defused the situation with self-deprecating wit.

“Nothing but love for Peloton,” Nolan said backstage at the Globes via Variety. “But I did not climb on it today. I might just skip it for a little while.”

The whole online kerfuffle started during an acceptance speech at the New York Film Critics Circle where Nolan shared a humorous story about having one of his movies panned during a workout:

“I was on my Peloton. I’m dying. And the instructor started talking about one of my films and said, ‘Did anyone see this? That’s a couple hours of my life I’ll never get back again!’” Nolan said. “When [film critic] Rex Reed takes a sh*t on your film he doesn’t ask you to work out!”

While Nolan didn’t specify which movie, internet sleuths found the class where Sherman opens up by trashing Tenet, which many Nolan-heads also agreed did not make a whole lot of sense.

“Someone’s got to explain this. Yeah I’m not kidding, what the f*ck was going on in that movie?” Sherman says with no idea that Nolan was in the class. “Seriously, you need to be a neuroscientist to understand. And that’s two and a half hours of my life that I want back.”

After the video went viral, Sherman posted an apology to Instagram where she didn’t back down on her thoughts about Tenet, but she did gush about Oppenheimer which she saw twice in the theater. She also invited the director to personally attend one of her sessions.

“You can critique my class. We’ll have a great time,” Sherman said. “You’ll sit front row and I promise you, it will be insult free!”

On November 29, Rod Wave’s Nostalgia Tour hit Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California, and Ari Lennox performed her opening set. Everything was fine and good until someone in the audience chucked a water bottle at Lennox and hit her arm.

Video of the incident went viral, mainly because Lennox let the person have it, saying, in part, “Who the f*ck did it? I’ll f*ck your ass up. ‘Cause I don’t play that. I’m a real-ass b*tch, and I will f*ck your sh*t all the way the f*ck up. Don’t you ever disrespect a beautiful Black woman on the f*cking stage like that.”

On Sunday, January 7, Lennox went on Instagram Live and explained that her Nostalgia Tour frustrations extended far beyond that moment.

“I was never comfortable,” Lennox said, as captured by Complex. “I just remember, every show, just racing to get off stage — racing to get through my set. And then, I found the spot where I was comfortable, and I started trying to communicate with the audience, and then, when I realized they were getting angry at me affirming them? I was like, OK, this is — you’re getting angry that I’m affirming you? This is not my crowd, and it’ll never be. And that’s alright. That’s alright, you know what I mean?”

Lennox continued, “It was tough. Like, it was tough. And it was heavy on my soul — feeling that energy — especially the day when the bottle happened because that side of the stage? Like, I felt the energy. I wasn’t surprised that it happened. I felt it. First of all, it was just all darkness. That’s literally the energy that was coming from the left side.”

There’s no hard feelings between Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone.

Lawrence was up for Best Actress – Motion Picture Comedy or Musical at the 2024 Golden Globes for her performance in No Hard Feelings, alongside Stone for Poor Things, Fantasia Barrino for The Color Purple, Natalie Portman for May December, Alma Pöysti for Fallen Leaves, and Margot Robbie for Barbie. As the nominee’s names were being announced and the camera cut to Lawrence, she mouthed, “If I don’t win, I’m leaving!” directly to the camera.

It went over better than anything in Jo Koy’s monologue.

Lawrence stuck around when Best Actress went to Stone, deservedly so. The two are long-time friends:

Stone and Lawrence have been friends for years and owe their longstanding relationship to Woody Harrelson, who worked with Stone in 2009’s Zombieland and later worked with Lawrence on the 2010s Hunger Games movies. “[Stone] texted me that she got my number from Woody,” Lawrence told Vanity Fair in a 2016 cover story. “I replied, ‘F*ck off!’ And we’ve been really good friends ever since.”

Lawrence even appeared to call Stone “mother” after she won. Or maybe she was yelling her favorite Darren Aronofsky movie that she starred in. Who’s to say?
