Amazon’s The Boys shows no signs of losing inspiration for more raucous tales full of bodily fluids and the worst (i.e. most entertaining) heroes known to the big or small screen. It’s no wonder that the only time that this show fell afoul of viewers was when Season 2 didn’t release every episode at the same time, which goes to show how well the writers and the ensemble cast and especially Eric Kripke know how to work this series to maximum effect.

It’s also a relief that this series can continue to skewer superheroes just like original writer Garth Ennis did and also outlast its target with the MCU and DCU both surfacing in 2023 like a shadow of their old selves. Fortunately as well, the Gen V spinoff landed in a relatively seamless position in terms of setting up the next round of its predecessor. And an effective Homelander cameo and a word from Billy Butcher acted as catalysts for Season 4.

Oi, let’s get cracking about what to anticipate from The Boys‘ next season.

Plot

Before we start talking about specifics, Amazon has revealed a new synopsis, which suggests that Homelander will totally get off scot free despite going on trial for murdering a civilian in broad daylight. As well, Butcher is on the outs with his vigilante group, and Victoria Neuman is still maneuvering:

The world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power. Butcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca’s son as well as his job as The Boys’ leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it’s too late.

As well, The Boys provided a little refresher of the current state of the show:

– Homelander is standing trial and taking a splatter paint class. One of those statements is true.

– Butcher has six months to live, and still knows about that virus being cooked at Godolkin.

– Neuman is closer than ever to changing her title from “Congresswoman” to “VP.”

– Sage and Firecracker are two of the most dangerous supes you’ll ever meet, and let’s just leave it at that for now.

– Deep hasn’t changed one fuckin bit.

– MM is still the team’s rock, just with less beard.

– Somehow, Noir has returned.

Whew. It’s good to know that some things will stay constant, so Deep will probably find a new octopus to have sex with as the chaos swirls around him. Additionally, Homelander will clearly have the backing of Vought International for killing that civilian, since we did see Ashley call him in to save the day at the end of Gen V, which took place in the immediate aftermath of The Boys‘ third season. (Speaking of Gen V: do you need to catch up on that spinoff before watching The Boys Season 4? It’s not entirely necessary, but you’d probably enjoy it, so just do it.)

As Gen V viewers know, Victoria Neuman revealed herself (to Marie Moreau) to be a blood bender and the mysterious entity that was exploding heads back in that Senate hearing. We also know that Billy Butcher has discovered the lab where the Supe virus was manufactured and tested, and god only knows if The Boys will believe him after he seriously went off the rails during his last excursions with them.

To recap as well, Starlight/Annie January is now fully defected from The Seven and apparently riding with The Boys. There was speculation that Cate and Sam might crossover to The Boys and possibly help replace Starlight and Queen Maeve, and perhaps we will see them at some point in the main series, but for now, the official replacements would be Firecracker and Sister Sage. It will be interesting, however, to see how Homelander twists that Gen V bloodbath to his own ends. Perhaps Cate and Sam will be in his pocket in case he needs to split and create his own group, but that is sheer speculation over here.

Now, what of The Boys’ shifting dynamic? Laz Alonso, who portrays Mother’s Milk, previously hinted that his character will be resentful of Butcher, with whom he will have “unfinished business” because “Butcher teaming up with Soldier Boy was not cool to MM.” With any luck, we’ll receive a lot more of MM this season because he earned all the screen goodwill after enduring that money shot in the “Herogasm” episode.

Finally, can we expect this season to be as disgusting and nutso as the rest? Well, obviously! Prosthetic penis guru (and VFX wizard) Stephan Fleet has promised the goods: “I’m excited for the cast of @TheBoysTV to see the crazy sh*t I’m cooking up in VFX! They really put a lot of trust in me.” Oh man.

Cast

Returning cast members include, of course, Starr as Homelander, Erin Moriarty as Annie January/Starlight, Chace Crawford as The Deep, Jessie T. Usher as A-Train, Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Jack Quaid as Hughie, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Karen Fukuhara as Kimiko, Tomer Capone as Frenchie, Colby Minifie as Ashley, and Claudia Doumit as Victoria Neuman. As well, Nathan Miller will still portray Black Noir, but since Homelander killed the original Black Noir, it will be a separate and distinct Black Noir from the one we previously knew. Got it? Good.

Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s much shrouded role will also become apparent one of these days, but it appears that he’s either aiding or abetting Billy Butcher, or both. Who, exactly, is JDM portraying? Hell, perhaps The Boys decided that it needed a second Tek Knight after all, but the show’s eagerness to dive into photoshop f*ckery sure does work with the vibe of both the actor and the project.

The new Supes on the block should be a handful for everyone. Firecracker (Valorie Curry) looks like she’s attempting to slide right into Queen Maeve’s position with more than a little Homelander in her. Her name also suggests an explosive source of power. A bigger source of intrigue, as far as powers go, would be Sister Sage (Susan Hayward), whose name might reveal that her powers are more on a mental and emotional level, and I would expect her to either side with or firmly against Homelander. Might she manipulate him into a “Caesar”-like downfall? We shall see, and there’s no telling whether he will prevail or fall right into such a trap.

Release Date

Lead “Supebuster” Billy Butcher might be at odds with the rest of The Boys, but he still announced a 2024 arrival from the group:

Butcher also convinced Hughie to announce a 2024 arrival on social media:

“The following statement was released today by Billy Butcher, through his mate Hugh Campbell, who is much better at this technology shite, former employee of the Federal Bureau of Superhuman Affairs (‘C*NTs’) located in New York, NY, in response to Season 4, coming in 2024: ‘Oi, we’re f*ckin’ back.’”

The TV shows are coming back, baby.

Trailer

This ominous teaser trailer sets the stage for Homelander to fly even higher or finally fall, possibly in a Shakespearean way.

More mayhem from The Boys will emerge in 2024.

At the beginning of Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé, the legendary entertainer is seen opening up the stage for one of her Inglewood shows, which took place on her birthday. During her remarks, Beyoncé hammers home that the world encapsulated within the various arenas during the Renaissance World Tour is a free universe, where each audience member is encouraged to express themselves.

“I’m thankful to be able to provide a safe space for all of y’all,” she says to a cheering audience, dressed to the nines in their flashy, glimmering outfits. Throughout the nearly three-hour-long concert film, which doubles as a documentary, fans get a look at the hard work that went into the tour — which, in and of itself, took four years of planning. The Beyhive also learns more about Bey’s childhood with her late Uncle Jonny, who inspired the Renaissance era, and her concerted efforts to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and ballroom culture.

In the liner notes of Beyoncé’s Renaissance album, Bey offers a dedication to the openly gay Jonny. “He was my godmother and the first person to expose me to a lot of the music and culture that serve as an inspiration for this album. The album itself features many samples from the ballroom era, as Bey breathes new life into these underground classics that served as an escape for Jonny and the queer community. This is especially true of “Pure/Honey,” a song from the album that features a prominent sample of “C*nty” by Kevin Aviance. While “C*nty” was a hit in the late ‘90s within the ballroom scene, Aviance says he felt he didn’t get his 10s during that time.

“I found myself doing more Club Kid stuff in downtown New York City,” says Aviance. “Hosting parties, and stuff like that.”

Aviance says he found out that Bey used the “C*nty” sample at the same time everyone else did, and remembers a feeling of pure elation as he arrived to the 15th track on Renaissance.

“I mean, someone taking my baby and revamping her and making her feel c*nty again — it was incredible,” says Aviance. “The song never let me down in any way, shape, or form. I’ve never stop performing it. So it’s just one of the things that is such a staple in our community. It means a lot to a lot of people, and it was so nice to see that it meant something to Beyoncé.”

Over the course of the Renaissance World Tour, Aviance hosted drag shows and after-parties in various cities. As a ballroom figure and former Club Kid, Aviance says he’s found himself “in and out” of his career. But since Bey breathed new life into “C*nty” through Renaissance, he has been nabbing gigs left and right, and says he’s currently booked until July 2024.

“I’m in limbo a lot sometimes,” says Aviance, “but I’m always working and something happens, and with this, people started going back to my catalog, and were visiting my shows. I’m still riding that high.”

Producer and mash-up DJ Amorphous is also experiencing a new breakthrough during the Renaissance era. The 25-year-old artist known for his viral mash-ups earned a spot on the tour’s musical arrangement team — a connection he had been manifesting for six years.

Back in 2017, Amorphous went viral after dropping an album he made featuring Beyoncé and Jay-Z mashups. One of the mixes caught wind of the husband-wife duo and was used during their joint On The Run II Tour in 2018. Amorphous made this discovery after seeing a video clip of dancers rehearsing with the mashup playing in the background.

“I remember freaking out about that, because I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, so that must mean that she knows who I am,’’ says Amorphous. Though a working relationship wouldn’t come to fruition for another five years, Bey kept Amorphous inspired.

When Renaissance dropped in 2022, Amorphous released a mashup featuring the album’s “Plastic Off The Sofa” and Solange’s “Cranes In The Sky.” Bey later used the clip in one of her Instagram reels. “So then. I really knew like, ‘Okay, she absolutely has to know who I am.”

Though he’s not sure how his role on the tour came to fruition, he remembers someone from Bey’s team hitting him up to join them on tour.

Amorphous’ passion for music production dates back over a decade, when he discovered the transcendental sounds of queer, ballroom-inspired artists like LSDXOXO, Cakes Da Killa, and MikeQ. A then self-described “preppy, quaker school student,” Amorphous would get lost in this music, and he would once again gravitate toward these sounds when creating his mix for the Renaissance World Tour.

His time on the tour came as a full circle moment, but also as a pleasant indicator of what’s to come.

“As a queer artists, I’d look back to the little version of me that didn’t want to be here anymore,” says Amorphous. “I was struggling coming to terms with my sexuality or my identity, and I would sit in at the computer while my friends would go out during recess, or when my cousins were over to play video games, I would be on the computer creating and honing in my craft, whether that was music or film. So to have that translate through the joy of just creating to being able to work directly with Beyoncé, to being credited in my first Hollywood film, it’s a weird place to be in. Because you look back at those moments of self-doubt, when you were asking yourself ‘Do you want to come out? Do you want to be yourself? And I’m just so proud that I’ve stuck to that. And it’s something that I want to continue to stick with in the future.”

This likely won’t be Amorphous’ first go-around with Queen Bey, as she tends to keep her collaborators close, like family.

This is the case with dancer and choreographer Jonte Moaning, who has been working with Beyoncé since The Beyoncé Experience Tour in 2007. He’s also choreographed several of her videos, including “Freakum Dress” and “Single Ladies.” In the Renaissance film, viewers will immediately notice Moaning’s impeccable moves, as well as his vibrant hair pieces and colorful makeup. Having worked with Bey for nearly two decades, Moaning has become familiar with all the moving parts of a Beyoncé-level production.

“I also work with wardrobe. I work with hair, and I work with the technicians,” says Moaning. “I need to know everything that’s happening. I need to know the whole body in order for me to be my best self. You know what I mean? Because when I walk in, I want to make sure that everybody knows that they’re respected.”

Originally from Portland, Moaning recalls moving to New York City in the early 2000s during the Club Kid era, quickly becoming “a spectator of the world of ballroom.” Keeping his finger on the pulse of the world of dance, Moaning has kept his momentum amid rapidly changing dance trends and platforms.

Moaning was discovered by Beyoncé during the dawn of YouTube, on which Moaning created his dance channel shortly after the video-sharing service’s launch. YouTube launched just over a year after Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s 2004 controversial Super Bowl Halftime performance, for which, Moaning was also a dancer.

Moaning has often displayed his confidence through his moves and his fashion, remaining unapologetically queer, and defying gender norms by design. “Even in places where you would be very uncomfortable to walk around,” Moaning says, he found community within Beyoncé’s team, and with the Beyhive. One of his fondest memories of the tour surprisingly came from a stop in Kentucky.

“Kentucky was like so dry,” Moaning says. “I looked outside of my f*cking hotel window and I saw, like, dust bunnies rolling down the street. It was desolate, there was nothing there. But that day, I went out to get a new hairpiece for the show, and there was this small boutique that had trinkets and cute dresses, and it was full of people who were getting ready to go to that show the next day. When we performed there were like, 60,000 people there, and they were all decked out, ready to go.”

Throughout the Renaissance film, we see that Beyoncé does not cut a single corner. With an internal team comprised of over 400 people — the best lighting crew, the best make-up artists, the best costume designers, and more — Beyoncé spotlights the community that delivered the show, as well as honoring the communities that came before her and inspired the entire Renaissance era.

“Can you imagine doing a world tour with over 400 people traveling with them every single day?” says Moaning. “Every single day, I stepped into the stadium and said hello to 400 different people. When you travel with so many different groups of people, you get to see so many different types of individuals, and you learn to work with them, and we become family.”

Zach LaVine is currently sidelined with a foot injury that has coincided with an increase in trade rumors around the former All-Star guard, with many speculating the L.A. native and Klutch Sports client prefers a landing spot with the Lakers.

However, LaVine has not produced to the level of a star who, on his current contract, can fully dictate where he will play next and to this point there has been little in the way of movement, with the most recent update being there is “not a market” for the star right now. As such, with trade season officially opening on December 15 with players signed this summer now eligible to be traded, LaVine’s representation is trying to make clear that he is not singularly focused on the Lakers.

Rich Paul spoke with The Athletic’s Sam Amick recently and insisted the Lakers were not the “specific destination” in mind for LaVine, and, while being wise enough to speak publicly on trade demands, noted that they’ll work with the Bulls to figure out what’s best for all parties “in the event” Chicago decides to look to move him.

“It’s not one team,” Paul told The Athletic regarding the LaVine situation. “I don’t have a specific destination for Zach. I want what’s best for Zach and his family. When you have a guy playing the game, you want him to be able to play the game happy, whether that’s in Chicago or somewhere else.”

“In the event the Bulls decide they would like to go a different direction with the team, and it involves Zach, then I’m sure we’ll have conversations to get clarity on what’s best for both sides,” Paul said. “Until then, the goal is to get healthy and return ready to go.”

It’s not surprising Paul would want to publicly push a message that LaVine is not just trying to force his way to L.A., as they need to create a market for him right now, and it’s hard to do that if teams think he has one team in mind. Since LaVine has four years left on his contract, they need teams trading for him to believe he’s in it for the long haul and would be committed to a new team. Later in the piece, Amick notes that LaVine has interest in joining De’Aaron Fox in Sacramento (a fellow Klutch client), but the difficulty in making that trade happen is the Kings are not willing to part with Keegan Murray in a deal.

We likely won’t get any movement on the LaVine trade front until January at the earliest, as teams will want to see him back on the court and healthy before considering a move for him. The Bulls will also want him to raise his value a bit by playing (and playing well), as they won’t be particularly keen on selling low on, theoretically, their top veteran trade asset.

Although the initial release date for Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s joint album Vultures has come and gone, that hasn’t deterred Kanye’s fans from continuing to clamor for the project. After all, some release shenanigans are par for the course when it comes to the mercurial producer, who has released albums days after they were due and opted to put them out on proprietary tech.

He’s also been a bit distracted, with his attention being split between putting out the publicity fire his antisemtic comments set to his career and stewing over his (just) treatment by friends and business partners who din’t want to be smeared by association. He still seems intent on putting out Vultures after all this — and Ty seems perfectly fine going along for the ride — so, here’s everything we know about the album so far.

Release Date

Vultures is now allegedly coming out on December 31 after a third (second?) listening event, this time to be held in Saudi Arabia.

Tracklist

While Ty shared a tracklist, it seems unlikely that this will be the final sequencing after Backstreet Boys protested “Everybody” for sampling their 1997 hit of the same time and Nicki Minaj turned down offers to appear on “New Body” since Kanye asked at the last minute — and will almost certainly not be clearing it now.

1. “Everybody” Feat. Charlie Wilson, Lil Baby
2. “Back To Me” Feat. Freddie Gibbs, Offset, Quavo
3. “Fuk Sumn” Feat. Playboi Carti, Quavo
4. “Time Moving Slow”
5. “Beg Forgiveness” Feat. Charlie Brown
6. “So Good”
7. “Paid” Feat. Future
8. “Timbo Freestyle”
9. “Slide”
10. “New Body” Feat. Nicki Minaj
11. “Promotion”
12. “Vultures” Feat. Bump J, Lil Durk
13. “Lifestyle”
14. “Drunk” Feat. Bad Bunny, Kodak Black
15. “Worship”
16. “River” Feat. Young Thug
17. “Gun To My Head”
18. “Unlock”

Features

Although Nicki’s out, the guest list will supposedly still include contemporary faves like Lil Baby, Quavo, Offset, Future, Playboi Carti, Kodak Black, Lil Durk, Bad Bunny, and Young Thug. However the most intriguing inclusion for day-one Ye heads should be Bump J, the Chicago rapper who worked with him early in both their careers. Also, Kanye’s daughter is apparently included despite being uncredited on the tracklist.

Artwork

Ty Dolla also shared the proposed cover art, but as with all things Kanye, don’t be suprised to see things change in the coming weeks.

Singles

No singles have yet been released, but Kanye previously teased the album with the Backstreet-sampling “Everybody.”

Tour

A merch site briefly offered tickets for a “world tour,” but disappeared, leading to speculation that Kanye is planning a tour — although for him, that should be read more like “wants to do” rather than “is currently doing the work to ensure that such a thing actually happens.”

As 2023 comes to a close, late-night television is wrapping up the year with some of the biggest musicians. Over the past year, artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Jon Batiste, and Nicki Minaj were inescapable, and this week (December 18-22), viewers will get to see them deliver what we’re sure will be some fire performances. Here’s what (and who) to expect on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert this week.

Olivia Rodrigo — Monday, December 18

Olivia Rodrigo will kick off her hotly-anticipated Guts World Tour in February of next year. But in the meantime, fans can look forward to a killer performance from the “Vampire” singer tonight.

Jon Batiste — Tuesday, December 19

Grammy Award winner Jon Batiste is sure to deliver a magical musical set. Plus, fans can also look forward to an interview with the esteemed musician.

Nicki Minaj — Wednesday, December 20

Hot off the release of her fifth studio album Pink Friday 2, Nicki Minaj is set to deliver fire bars on the Colbert stage this hump day.

Louis Cato & The Late Show Band — Thursday, December 21

Louis Cato & The Late Show Band are likely to deliver a jazzy, holiday musical set this Thursday night.

Friday, December 22

There is no new episode of The Late Show scheduled for this Friday.

Colby Covington did not have a great night at UFC 296. With Donald Trump watching in the crowd, the unabashedly MAGA fighter lost to Leon Edwards, and in true MAGA fashion, Covington is blaming everyone but himself.

After losing to Edwards, the night quickly went south for Covington as he delivered a post fight speech dedicated to Trump.

“I want to shout out Donald Trump,” Covington told Joe Rogan. “You can delay, but you can’t deny us. He’s going to make America great again, reduce inflation and secure our borders. Donald Trump is the only one that can do that. Vote Donald Trump in 2024.”

However, Covington should know by now that Trump hates losing, and the former president was not thrilled to be repeatedly name-checked by a guy who just got his clock cleaned. In fact, Trump got up and left.

Via Marca:

At one point during Covington’s speech, the broadcast cameras panned onto the former President of the US, who visibly cringed when his name was mentioned on several occasions. It was also comical to see the fighter say it was “the easiest fight” of his life, and that he didn’t “even have a scratch” while his face was visibly bloodied. To add insult to injury, Donald Trump did not even stay in his seat during the speech, leaving the arena while Covington was still speaking with Joe Rogan.

The embarrassment didn’t stop there for Covington. While talking to reporters, the fighter accused the judges of hating him because of his MAGA political beliefs, and that’s the reason he really lost. The whole thing was rigged, you see? Can’t imagine where Covington learned that behavior from.

“He didn’t put any damage on me. He got a couple low kicks, but then I started checking him at the end. You know, I thought I had the win,” Covington said. “I thought I did enough, but you know, the judges never favored me. They hate me because I support Trump, and you know, everybody hates Trump in this building. So, you know, it is what it is. Life goes on.”

As the clip of Covington’s rant went viral, social media had a field day with the UFC fighter attempting to blame political persecution for his loss. You can see some of the reactions below:

Blueface and Soulja Boy, two of hip-hop’s more controversial rappers, demonstrated the darker side of social media this weekend, exchanging heated posts that turned into an invitation for a real-life meetup for fisticuffs. However, only one rapper showed up to the agreed-upon location, evoking echoes of the infamous Temecula incident of 2014.

The feud — as most drama seems to these days — on a podcast. Appearing on the latest episode of Open Thoughts, Blueface declared he could beat anyone in a Verzuz hits battle, despite the fact that he’s best known for one song. When a clip of the host Funny Marco suggesting Soulja Boy as an opponent went viral, the Atlanta rap pioneer wasn’t hearing it.

In an amped-up Instagram Live stream (has he ever had any other kind?), Soulja taunted Blueface, “You gon’ perform ‘bust down Thotiana’ five times in a row? Cut it out.” Maybe he touched a nerve, because Blueface’s response turned the topic from hit battle trash talk to schoolyard muck instantly; “I hit yah Bm already soulja boy ask her who perform better hit for hit,” he wrote on Twitter. Things escalated from there:

After a few more back and forth posts in this vein, Blueface finally invited Soulja Boy to “squabble up,” providing an address on “neutral” territory. However, Blueface wound up mostly just livestreaming by himself. He later mocked Soulja Boy, writing, “We all knew he wouldn’t show.”

Of course, it’s important to remember that these are grown men with too much money and notoriety to be going around behaving like this. All this to impress the peanut gallery on Elon’s Twitter. Yuck.

There’s a lot of ways Stranger Things could end. It could time travel to the 1990s and Eleven gets really into Liz Phair, for instance, or maybe Steve and Robin learn that the strangest thing of all is the friends we make along the way. But one way the Netflix series won’t wrap up is with a well-worn TV trope.

While attending the premiere of the Stranger Things: The First Shadow play in London’s West End, creators Matt and Ross Duffer were asked about the popular fan theory that the entire show has been a Dungeons and Dragons campaign. None of it was real, it was all a dream (sort of).

“That is correct. That is the ending… No,” Matt laughed when presented with this concept by Metro.co.uk. Ross added, “That would be the equivalent of, ‘That’s all a dream.’ No, I assure you that is not how we’re going to end the show. We’ve known where we’ve been going for a while. And we feel comfortable with it; hopefully, it satisfies everyone. We’ll see.”

So, the Dungeons and Dragons idea is out. But can Chris Pine still make a cameo?

Stranger Things is expected to return for its fifth and final season in summer 2025.

Friday, December 22

John Oliver dedicated Sunday’s episode of Last Week Tonight to Elon Musk and his first disastrous year of owning Twitter. Naturally, Oliver delivered a scathing report on Musk’s megalomaniacal takeover, but first, the late night host made it a point to roast the Tesla CEO’s wide array of supervillain looks.

“A man who can pull off pretty much any bad-guy-in-a-movie look,” Oliver said via Variety. “There’s Lex Luthor, posing for the cover of Metropolis Maniacs Monthly. There’s ‘Why no Mr. Bond, I and my child bride expect you to die.’” (Naturally, that one involved Grimes.)

“There’s ‘I just bought your media company, I’m about to strip you for parts,’” Oliver continued without missing a beat. “There’s space’s first racist sheriff. And finally, the less f*ckable reimagining of Billy Zane’s character in Titanic. Truly, the man has range.”

However, Oliver had one more burn up his sleeve, and this one was a brutal throwback to the ’90s but involved one of Musk’s most recent public outings. Namely, the now-infamous NYT DealBook summit where he told advertisers fleeing Twitter to “go f*ck yourself” while wearing a bomber jacket.

“It’s hard to say what’s most embarrassing there, the fact that the world’s richest man is playing the, ‘You’re not breaking up with me, I’m breaking up with you’ card, or that he’s doing it to confused silence while wearing a jacket from Ralph Lauren’s mid-life crisis collection,” Oliver joked. “He’s clearly going for bad boy there, but ended up looking more like red-pilled Chip from Rescue Rangers.”
