Just in time for Thanksgiving, Wednesday is coming to Netflix. The series following Wednesday Addams, the goth icon from the beloved and spooky Addams Family stars Scream’s Jenna Ortega as Wednesday. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Morticia Addams, and Luis Guzmán is Gomez. Other series stars include Christina Ricci (who played Wednesday in the 90s films), Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Fred Armisen, and Jamie McShane.

Here’s Netflix’s official description of the series:

The show comes from co-creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar who co-wrote a little movie you may have heard of called Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 2. They also created Smallville. But enough chatter about all that: you came here to find out when it comes out, and that information is below.

When does Wednesday come out?

If you need an excuse to avoid any relatives over the Thanksgiving holiday, you’re in luck. All eight episodes of Wednesday drop on Netflix on Wednesday, November 23. So, binging this series might also be a good excuse to get out of helping in the kitchen, too (just don’t blame me if you get caught).

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. This week is a big one, whether you’re looking for winter-equipped kicks or ultra-hyped colorways, we’ve got you covered. The biggest release of the week is without a doubt the return of the Jordan 1 Chicago, quite possibly the silhouette’s most popular and iconic colorway. Shockingly, that’s not even the best drop of the week, for that honor we’d have to point you in the direction of A Ma Manière’s autumnal Jordan IV.

The Atlanta brand continues to kill it, we haven’t seen a brand on a run this consistent… well, ever. Apart from the big Jordan drops, this week also brings new kicks from Adidas, New Balance, and Converse. There is truly a little bit of something for everyone as the 2022 year in sneakers winds down with a bang.

Let’s dive into the best sneaker drops of the week.

Women’s Nike Air Force 1 High New England

The AF-1 High is getting a fresh new colorway this week with the women’s exclusive New England. Featuring a Wolf Grey leather upper, the New England sports a College Navy swoosh, outsole, and foot strap with University Red branding on the midsole, heel, and tongue. Rounding out the design is a fully padded collar for added comfort.

Although this is a women’s exclusive, the New England sports an extended size run that goes up to women’s 15.5 (men’s 14).

The Women’s Nike Air Force 1 High New England is set to drop on November 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $125. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike ACG Lowcate Wolf Grey and Hyper Pink

If your sneaker game is covered be sure to gear up so you aren’t ruining your kicks if you decide to take a spontaneous hike. Coming out of Nike’s All Conditions Gear sub-label, the Lowcate features a mixed material upper, a heavy-duty fat-lugged outsole, and a TrailFrame mid-foot plate for added support and stability. The new Lowcate sports a striking Wolf Grey and Hyper Pink colorway adding some flair to your trail look.

The Lowcate is available in a full men’s and women’s size run.

The Nike ACG Lowcate Wolf Grey and Hyper Pink is set to drop on November 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $120. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Air Max Penny Rattan

Lately, the Air Max Penny 2 has been receiving a lot of love via some dope collaborations from Social Status and while we’re happy to see that forgotten silhouette find a new audience, let’s not forget about the OG. This sneaker, named for basketball legend Penny Hardaway, sports a canvas upper with a large jeweled swoosh, winged piping, and a large Air cushion underfoot.

It’s not as wavy and psychedelic as the Penny 2, but its ’90s-indebted design is more understated and functional, and that’s never a bad thing.

The Nike Air Max Penny Rattan is set to drop on November 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $170. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Adidas Campus 80 Darryl Brown

Adidas Campus 80 is getting a slight reimagining courtesy of the designer Darryl Brown. The revamp features a utilitarian workwear aesthetic with a suede and canvas upper, leather lining, and a colorway that combines Active Green, Off White, and Dark Brown Gum.

The colorway is apparently inspired by mechanic jumpsuits, I don’t really see it, but maybe Darryl Brown’s mechanic is just more stylish than mine.

The Adidas Campus 80 Darryl Brown is set to drop on November 16th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $100. Pick up a pair via the Adidas CONFIRMED app.

A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 4

The Atlanta-based brand A Ma Maniére is back with another banger of a Jordan collab. So far the brand has taken on the Jordan 1, 2, 3, the Nike Air Ship, and the Jordan 12, but this week the brand is hitting the 4, and we couldn’t be more psyched. This Jordan 4 features a premium leather and mesh upper in a monochromatic colorway over an off-white midsole.

The sneaker has black accents on the mudguard and heel, but the primary color on this sneaker is a sort of purple-hued brown with a matching outsole and laces. It’s hard not to fall in love with this design and we’re willing to call A Ma Maniére the ultimate Jordan collaborator of the ’20s. We can’t see what they have in store next.

The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 4 is set to drop on November 17th at 11:00 AM PST for a retail price of $225. Enter the raffle to win a pair at A Ma Maniére or pick up a pair at GOAT.

Converse x CLOT Chuck 70

If you’ve ever looked at a pair of Chuck 70s and thought, ‘but I want to look more like a panda bear’ well, you’re in luck because Converse and CLOT have teamed up for a new winter-themed rendition of the Chuck 70 that is inspired by, you guessed it, a giant panda.

Featuring a faux-fur upper in white, this Chuck 70 combines hair-on-hide leather, Terry cloth, and microsuede, for a soft touch fuzzy design with a black tongue, laces, and star logo branding. It’s probably the cutest a Chuck has ever looked.

The Converse x CLOT Chuck 70 is set to drop on November 18th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $130. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Air Jordan 1 Chicago

For many a Jordan fan, this drop will not only be the release of the week but quite possibly the release of the whole year. The Chicago is the Jordan 1’s quintessential colorway, that iconic combination of University Red, white and black is what most sneakerheads imagine when they hear the words “Jordan 1.” While we’re psyched for its re-release, we say out with the old, in with the new!

Purists will be upset to learn that this rerelease isn’t just a simple revamping of the sneaker’s debut colorway, Nike is leaning hard on heritage with this drop by adding cracked leather accents and an aged sail midsole to give a sort of worn and weathered look to the design. It still looks great regardless, even if you aren’t a fan of the vintage look.

The Nike Air Jordan 1 Chicago is set to drop on November 19th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

New Balance x Tokyo Design Studio 574

Made in collaboration with the European/Japanese design house, Tokyo Design Studio, New Balance’s latest is a revamped take on the 574 silhouette with a mixed material upper with pig suede overlays, mesh underlays, and reflective accents over a Toast, Cream and Bone colorway.

The 574 sports a thick tread Vibram outsole for added grip with a TPU heel clip and an embossed suede swing tab and cotton laces.

The New Balance x Tokyo Design Studio 574 is set to drop on November 19th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $199.99. Pick up a pair via the New Balance webstore.

Rich Brian kickstarted 2022 with his Brightside EP, his first release since 2020, in January. Uproxx’s April cover star proceeded to become the first Indonesian artist to play a solo set at Coachella, where he debuted his single “Vivid” on the main stage during 88rising’s “Head In The Clouds Forever” set. Brian amplified the “Vivid” hype by playing it at August’s Head In The Clouds Festival at Pasadena, California’s icon Rose Bowl.

Today (November 17), Brian officially released “Vivid” featuring $NOT alongside a cinematic video.

“This song was the result of this one week I started listening to Musiq Soulchild and thought to myself, ‘What if there’s hard-ass 808s on this?’ And turns out, it sounds pretty good,” Brian said of the hypnotic track.

In the video, Brian is alone on a golf course at night. Frowning golf balls are taunting him, matching melancholic guitar and Brian’s lulling flow. Every ball hit off the tee is met by an introspective bar about romantic complications. “Better live your life, lil b*tch, you got no reruns,” he advises in the first verse, which also includes an Instagram-worthy hook, “I don’t do much in a day, that’s why I got these vivid dreams.”

$NOT matches Brian’s energy, never coming into full focus during his frenetic verse. Sandwiched between a dreamlike refrain and another run through the chorus, Brian coolly boasts about being a “regular at the Rose Bowl, Brookside but I ain’t playing golf.”

Brian will take the stage again for Head In The Clouds Jakarta on December 3 and 4.

Watch the “Vivid” video above.

Now that Donald Trump is officially running for president again in the least surprising announcement since House of the Dragon was renewed for season two, the world stops and wonders: will two bad neighbors Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner move from one mansion in Florida to another mansion in Washington D.C. if he wins?!? Uh, no.

“This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family,” Ivanka wrote in a statement following Trump’s campaign kickoff event. “I do not plan to be involved in politics. While I will always love and support my father, going forward I will do so outside the political arena.” What she left out was that their decision to stay away from the nation’s capital was due, in part, to Game of Thrones.

From a Vanity Fair profile about Ivanka and Jared’s domesticated life:

They’d just gotten to the episode when King Robert pays a visit to Ned Stark, his good, honorable, loyal, surrogate brother and close counselor. It had been Stark who served as general in the key battles that made Robert king. Stark, too, by this point in the season, had settled into life with his wife and five children. He was content. He needed nothing. He had his family and his fiefdom. King Robert, less so. He wanted Stark back in the fold, as his protector in King’s Landing. The king made pleas and promises. Stark thought about turning him down. Why would he give up a good thing? Stark relents; the pull and the power are too strong. “Yes” is the only answer.

“Don’t f*cking do it, Ned!” Kushner yelled at the screen, knowing what happens to Ned by the end of the season. “Don’t f*cking do it!” That’s the story Kushner has “taken to telling friends who ask whether or not he and Ivanka Trump would go back to Washington should their king win in 2024,” according to Vanity Fair. It’s some real “fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me” reasoning, except in this case, the fooling involves a mob storming the capitol, attempting to overturn a legal election, and some seriously shady business interactions. Thanks, Ned Stark!

Earlier this year, Margot Robbie made an unexpected cameo in Neighbors, the Australian soap opera that helped the actress get her start all those years ago. The legendary soap opera was ending its nearly 40-year reign on television, and Robbie, now a full-fledged star, stopped by for a beautiful full-circle moment. That is until the show actually got picked up again. So all of that was kind of for nothing!

Amazon announced that they would revive the legendary soap for Amazon Freevee, the free ad-supported service that you’ve probably never heard of. Series stars Stefan Dennis, Alan Fletcher, Ryan Moloney, and Jackie Woodburne are confirmed to return to the revival which is slated to begin production early next year.

Amazon Studios on-demand programming head Lauren Anderson said:

Neighbours has captivated its audience for nearly 40 years, building a dedicated and loyal following for the lives and stories of the characters on Ramsay Street. With the power of streaming, we’re able to offer a catalogue of thousands of Neighbours episodes for new audiences to discover this legendary series and current fans to relive their favorite moments. We look forward to immersing the audience in new Ramsay Street experiences when we relaunch the show next year for Amazon Freevee and Prime Video customers

The show also helped launch the career of other famous industry titans like Russell Crow and Kyle Minogue. Of course, Robbie likely won’t return as she is busy doing other things like playing Barbie or going on (fictional) coke-binges.

Earlier this month, Saweetie revealed that she has two projects arriving before the end of 2022. “She’s coming,” she told Rolling Stone about Pretty B*tch Music. “She’s still in the womb, I haven’t popped her out. I want to thank my fans for patiently waiting. It’s been a year. It’s been a while. I’ve been recording officially for a year, non-stop.”

She’s finally here with new material. Today, she debuted “Don’t Say Nothin’” on Apple Music’s New Music Daily Premiere. It comes from her forthcoming project The Single Life, which is six songs long and arriving tomorrow, November 18. The track was teased earlier this year at Rolling Loud Miami.

In that same Rolling Stone interview, she also shared, “I’m excited to share what I went through. I think as I was making it, I was more proud to be single. Because I realized that I was growing, I realized that I was elevating. And I realized that I was becoming a better woman.”

Listen to “Don’t Say Nothin’” below, and find The Single Life tracklist underneath it.

1. “Don’t Say Nothin’”
2. “Boss Chick”
3. “P.U.S.S.Y. (Powerful, Utopia, Supreme, Sacred, Yummy)”
4. “Handle My Truth”
5. “Memorable”
6. “No Reception”

The Single Life is out 11/18 via ICY/Warner Records.

Matthew McConaughey is, above all else, a Texas Longhorns fan. Ok, that’s not true — he wears a lot of different hats — but the man’s wardrobe includes a lot of burnt orange to celebrate his alma mater. He’s spent some time in Austin as a professor and is a fixture on the sidelines of Longhorn sporting events.

All if this is important context for why the video on the top of this post exists. As Chris Deville of Stereogum noted, McConaughey has done a lot of stuff recently around the phrase “bless the mood,” a reference to the university’s recently-opened basketball arena, the Moody Center. (Do you get it?)

The newest example of this is a video he released to his YouTube account on Wednesday called “Bless the Mood,” which appears to double as a hype video for the 2022-23 Longhorns basketball season. There’s some rapping or singing or some blend of the two by the Oscar winner, and there are a lot of highlights of Texas basketball players doing the stuff you normally expect in one of these things.

Anyway, for how silly this all is, perhaps its release provided the Longhorns a spark on Wednesday night when they played host to the Gonzaga Bulldogs. While the Zags entered the game ranked No. 2 in the country, 11th-ranked Texas ran them out of the building in a 93-74 win.

Today (November 17) is all about Brockhampton. The Kevin Abstract-led group released a new album, The Family, this morning. The album was previously billed as their final release, but actually, it turns out they have another new project, TM, set to drop tonight (à la Frank Ocean.) The group has gotten some post-Family-pre-TM promotion in, though, with a new video for The Family standout “RZA.”

While Abstract is the only Brockhampton member to appear on The Family, the whole group is present for the “RZA” visual, in which they take to a mountain-flanked valley and unload bullets into a couch.

In a letter shared today, Abstract wrote of The Family, “I feel like whoever is reading this — whoever has been with Brockhampton since the beginning deserves some sort of closure. The album is an attempt at that. Thanks for giving us a chance. For holding me up. Holding me down. For being everything I needed when I was just some n**** from Texas. I still am. Yeah, this show is over, but the furnace is still glowing. What a blessing this has been.”

Crypto evangelists have been scrambling this week in the wake of the collapse of FTX, the third-largest cryptocurrency exchange after FTX declared bankruptcy on November 11. It’s kind of a long, involved story, but the long and short of it is, the thing crypto skeptics had been predicting since the rise of cryptocurrency and the subsequent “tulip mania” that descended on blockchain faithful in the last couple of years finally happened.

And while many are feeling a very well-deserved sense of schadenfreude at the misfortune of the tech bros who burned the equivalent of several dozen rainforests on Monopoly money, there have been wide-reaching consequences for the regular folks who bought into all this nonsense, mainly by way of joining the NFT craze. For instance, Coachella fans who bought the festival’s NFTs — which supposedly offered lifetime passes and other luxury accommodations — are apparently unable to access them, according to Billboard.

About $1.5 million worth of Coachella NFTs — which lived on the FTX exchange servers — are supposedly “disabled” as a result of FTX’s implosion, leaving those fans in the lurch. Coachella reps told the buyers via Discord, “We have assembled an internal team to come up with solutions based on the tools we have access to. Our priority is getting Coachella NFTs off of FTX, which appears to be disabled at the moment.” However, they also admitted, “We do not currently have any lines of communication with the FTX team.”

While Coachella is “actively working on solutions” and is “confident we’ll be able to protect the interests of Coachella’s NFT holders,” according to Coachella innovation lead Sam Schoonover, the outlook is bleak for the time being.

Marc Maron, podcaster extraordinaire and coiner of the phrase “human centipede in Austin,” is gearing up to film his first HBO comedy special. Finally? Yes, finally. The master of GLOW ceremonies and the sort-of Joker actor (I feel like he might appreciate that one) regularly discusses his comedy sets on his WTF show. He’s a freaking stand-up veteran and has been doing this since the late 1980s (at least).

From there, it’s a real head scratcher to fathom how he hasn’t previously come together with HBO for an official comedy special, but it’s time to make up for lost time. As Variety first reported, Maron’s special will tape on December 8 during a live set at at New York City’s Town Hall. The special will be in your living room sometime in 2023.

In a press release, Executive VP of HBO Programming Nina Rosenstein declared that this “[t]his long overdue collaboration is an extra special one for us.” She called the set “deeply personal and darkly funny,” and here’s what Maron added:

“I’ve wanted to do an HBO special my entire life. Literally my entire life. Not since I started doing comedy, but since I started watching comedy as a kid. It was where the real comedy happened. Always. I’m honored to be working with them. It’s been a hard few years and the hour I’ve been working on is very provocative and personal. I trust HBO to present it properly because they have the courage to have a point of view as a network. AND they get the deep funny.”

On the personal and “hard” note, Maron is certainly alluding to the sudden 2020 death of girlfriend Lynn Shelton. He’s been real about the tragic subject on his podcast and will likely be even more so about the process of grief. Obviously, he’ll still be bitingly funny in this special. Hopefully, we’ll hear more about his “time with The Sandman.” Hint, hint.

In mid-October, Maron let it slip that he scouted locations for “my HBO special” and that he enjoyed “avoiding the Comedy Cellar” during his recent NYC voyage. Mission accomplished.
