WARNING: Spoilers for the most recent episode of Invincible Season 2 below.

After briefly reuniting Mark/Invincible (Steven Yeun) with his father Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), the Invincible mid-season finale dropped a surprise on our hero and viewers: Omni-Man started another family. More specifically, he fathered a son with a Thraxan woman, Andressa (Rhea Seehorn). This revelation is a gut-punch for Mark, who’s hurt at how quickly his father replaced him and his mother.

The family issues are forced to take a back seat for a more pressing issue: An incoming Viltrumite invasion. The Coalition of Planets aren’t the only ones who realize Mark’s potential for resisting the brutal Viltrumite empire. Omni-Man knows that, together, they can fight off the approaching trio of soldiers. Or at the very least, Mark can get Andressa and her son to safety. However, Mark needs to fight like he’s never fought before, and through one brutal encounter after another, Omni-Man pushes Mark to stop holding back and fight like a Viltrumite.

Ultimately, their resistance is futile as Omni-Man is felled and taken captive. Meanwhile, a badly beaten Mark is given explicit instructions: He’s to fulfill his Viltrumite purpose by conquering Earth. If he doesn’t do it his way, the Viltrumites will arrive on planet and do it their way, and it won’t be pretty.

When Does ‘Invincible’ Season 2, Episode 5 Come Out?

While the back half of Invincible Season 2 doesn’t have an official release date, co-showrunner Simon Racioppa provided The Hollywood Handle with a tentative release window for Episode 5. According to Racioppa, the initial plan was to do weekly drops for all of Season 2, but various factors forced the creative team to split the season into two parts. Fortunately, fans won’t have long to wait for the new episodes:

The decision was made afterwards. As we started producing the show, some issues came up, talked to Amazon, so we thought this was the best way to present the show, now, with these 4 episodes instead of making audience wait even longer. We will come back after a few months and give you the rest.

As for what “a few months” means remains to be seen. However, fans could see Episode 5 drop sometime in early Spring or late Winter 2024.

Invincible Season 2 Part 1 is available for streaming on Prime Video.

Big news today: Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour movie, which has been a massive hit in theaters, will soon be available to watch at home! She announced today, “Hi! Well, so, basically I have a birthday coming up and I was thinking a fun way to celebrate the year we’ve had together would be to make The Eras Tour Concert Film available for you to watch at home! Very happy to be able to tell you that the extended version of the film including ‘Wildest Dreams,’ ‘The Archer’ and ‘Long Live’ will be available to rent on demand in the US, Canada & additional countries to be announced soon starting on … you guessed it, December 13.”

How To Rent Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ Movie On Demand

Attentive tweet readers may notice that Swift didn’t specify how to watch the movie beyond saying it’ll “be available to rent on demand.” For those who have never rented via VOD before, it might be tough to know where to start. Fortunately, it’s not too complicated.

First, pick a service. Per a press release, The Eras Tour will be available to rent via Amazon’s Prime Video, Apple, Vudu, Xfinity, and YouTube & Google TV. For the sake of example, let’s look at the process of renting a recent release, The Marsh King’s Daughter, via Prime Video. All you do is search for the movie, go on its page, and you’re presented with rental options from there. That movie currently costs $19.99 to rent (per a press release, the suggested rental price of The Eras Tour is $19.89).

Once you’ve purchased the rental, Amazon gives you 30 days to start watching it, and once you’ve started, you have 48 hours to finish it. Other rental platforms have similar pricing and policies.

Finally, a movie the whole family can agree on this holiday season: Taylor Swift announced on Monday that Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, a concert film of her record-breaking The Eras Tour, is coming to video on demand on December 13th. Per a press release, it’ll be available via Amazon Prime Video, Apple, Vudu, Xfinity, and YouTube & Google TV.

“Hi! Well, so, basically I have a birthday coming up and I was thinking a fun way to celebrate the year we’ve had together would be to make The Eras Tour Concert Film available for you to watch at home!” Swift wrote on social media. “Very happy to be able to tell you that the extended version of the film including ‘Wildest Dreams,’ ‘The Archer,’ and ‘Long Live’ will be available to rent on demand in the US, Canada, & additional countries to be announced soon starting on… you guessed it, December 13.”

As noted by Variety, a possible reason that Swift didn’t announce which “additional countries” will be able to watch Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour on December 13th (her birthday) is because “only the Americas have been visited by the tour so far, and that more than half of it is still to go in other countries around the world in 2024.” Next up: Tokyo in February 2024.

Taylor Swift did not announce the release of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) yesterday (November 26), which was a bummer for eagle-eyed Swifties who looked at the clues and assumed she was going to.

As Cosmopolitan points out, Swift played her final The Eras Tour concert of 2023 yesterday, in São Paulo, Brazil. In the lead-up to that, fans noticed that Swift’s mother and rep were at the show in all-black outfits, and Swift herself appeared to be sporting an all-black manicure. Furthermore, an X/Twitter post from the Empire State Building was perceived by some as a teaser for the announcement, as was a sale on a Reputation phone case.

There’s also the fact that we’ve gotten sneak peeks at a couple of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) songs already. This August, some of “Delicate (Taylor’s Version)” could be heard during a scene of Amazon’s Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty. Later that month, “Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor’s Version)” was used in a teaser for the Prime Video show Wilderness.

It appears Swift is aware of all the hubbub: On stage last night, she said, “During the Rep… the uh, The Eras Tour… […] Now you’ve gotten in my head.”

Check out some reactions to the lack of Reputation (Taylor’s Version) news below.

While the college football regular season wrapped up this weekend and the NFL is hitting the stretch run, around the country the high school playoffs are coming to a close.

There are few things more enjoyable than a good high school football championship game, particularly in a state that produces top talent, as you can see some future college and pro stars show out at the high school level. On Sunday in Michigan, two undefeateds met in the MHSAA Division 1 Championship Game at Ford Field in Detroit, as Belleville and Southfield A&T played for the title. After Southfield struck first to go up 6-0, Belleville set up its first touchdown of the game thanks to one of the best defensive plays you’ll see at any level of football from Adrian Walker Jr.

Walker Jr. tips the ball up into the air and then reaches his arms behind his back to somehow squeeze the interception to get the Tigers the ball back in great field position. It’s a truly absurd play, and while his return didn’t count because his knee was down, it still yielded a touchdown for Belleville to get them on the board for the first time in the game. Walker is a junior and a 3-star athlete, pulling double duty as a receiver and defensive back, but this is unquestionably a 5-star play and should turn some heads his way.

The year is coming to an end, but there are still so many flowers still to be given out to the year’s biggest musical acts. Last week, the Billboard Music Awards celebrated the chart metric. Today (November 26), the 2023 Soul Train Awards, presented by BET, honored R&B acts moving the genre forward.

Keke Palmer did the honors of hosting the event. While acts like Muni Long, Coco Jones, and BJ The Chicago Kid appeared to perform for the attendees. However, the evening is all about walking away with a trophy.

Both Janelle Monáe and T-Pain were bestowed special honors during the ceremony. Janelle Monáe was granted the Spirit Of Soul Award. “[Janelle Monáe] have shown us the true meaning of freedom of expression through all facets of entertainment,” said organizers in a statement.

T-Pain was given the Legend Award for his impact on R&B, Soul, and hip-hop’s forever-intervened mix.

South African singer Tyla is amapiano music’s rising star. Following the release of her viral song “Water” and the subsequent TikTok challenge, Tyla has snatched the public’s attention. In fact, this month, during the 2024 Grammy Awards nomination ceremony, Tyla even earned herself a nod in the Best New Artist category. Shortly after that, to serve as icing on her blissful career cake, she dropped the remix to her smash hit, which featured a guest appearance by Travis Scott.

Although the jury’s still out on what “Water” is actually about, the meaning of her next record is clear-cut. Yesterday (November 25), Tyla took to her official X (formerly Twitter) page to tease her new song.

“Truth or Dare. Pre-save, December 1,” wrote Tyla. In the steamy teaser clip, Tyla appears to be cutting things off with a past lover struggling with her newfound fame.

“Can’t handle what I am now / You’re a fan now / And I’m not what I was / So tell me, are you down now? / ‘Cause I’m up now / So, let’s play truth or dare / Dare you to forget / That you used to treat me just like anyone / Truth or dare,” sings Tyla.

Although there are no aquatic tricks in the video like in the official visual for “Water,” the sound will make a splash once the entire record hits streaming platforms.

“Truth Or Dare” is out 12/1 via Epic.

Every week, millions of fans tune in to NFL RedZone to watch the league’s whip-around coverage of every game, commercial-free, hosted by Scott Hanson, who rather famously never leaves his post as long as the channel is on, even for a bathroom break.

However, RedZone featured a first on Sunday evening, as late in the 4 p.m. window of games, a fire alarm went off in the Los Angeles studios that forced Hanson and the crew in the production booth to evacuate the studios. They left the Bills-Eagles game up on the broadcast as, in a fascinating TV moment, Hanson explained over the sound of an alarm that they were going to have to step outside and he “might” be back.

Thankfully, the alarm was not something particularly severe and Hanson returned fairly quickly to then deliver the news that RedZone would be going off air, not because of a fire, but because the Chiefs-Raiders game had ended, meaning Bills-Eagles was the dreaded “last game standing.” When there’s only one game being played, RedZone cannot air it in its entirety, and thus they had to direct the audience to their CBS affiliate for the final minutes as the Bills tried to retake the lead in Philly. Still, it was a bizarre scene and Hanson wasn’t entirely sure what happened.

Draymond Green will return to the Warriors lineup on Tuesday night against the Kings after serving his 5-game suspension for putting Rudy Gobert in a chokehold two minutes into a game against the Timberwolves two weeks ago. Without Green (including that Minnesota game they played 46 minutes without him), Golden State has gone 2-4, stumbling to 10th in the West at 8-9 on the season.

Part of the reason Green was suspended for so many games was his history of crossing the line, whether that be by way of low blows, punching a teammate in practice, stomping on an opponent, or, in this case, putting someone in a sleeper hold. The league cited Green’s past incidents of “unsportsmanlike acts” as part of the reason for his 5-game suspension, which irked Green, who spoke to reporters on Sunday for the first time since returning to the team.

Green felt he shouldn’t continue to be punished after serving his punishment for those incidents previously.

Unfortunately for Green, the NBA will absolutely continue to hold his past actions against him, as they see it as a pattern of behavior and will offer increasingly severe penalties for those actions if he keeps up the antics, as it indicates the past punishments weren’t enough to get him to change his ways. Now, while Green wouldn’t go so far as to say he regretted his actions, he did seem to notice the way those around the Warriors weren’t willing to simply brush this one aside. Steve Kerr called his suspension “deserved” and no one was really up in arms about the league putting the hammer down this time.

Green noted he has to listen to that — and the league — and find ways to make the needed changes to stay on the floor.

For years, Green has toed the line with his aggressive play and the Warriors have been fine with the tradeoff of Green crossing that line because of what he brings them otherwise. However, the last two years the frustrations have seemed to be a bit higher on the Warriors side and Green seems to be hearing that he’s got to find a better way to control that aggression. Whether he can actually do that is an entirely different question (and one that most would be skeptical of).
