Like most shows affected by the pandemic, it will be almost two years before a new season of The Boys finally starts streaming. But the good news is that wait is almost over as the Season 3 premiere is quickly approaching, and even better, Amazon is dropping a spinoff to tide fans over until Butcher (Karl Urban) and the gang return to butt heads with the increasingly insane Homelander (Antony Starr).

The Boys Season 3 will start streaming on June 8. Along with continuing the storyline from Season 2, which included the shocking reveal that, unbeknownst to them, The Boys’ new handler Congresswoman Victoria Neuman (Claudia Doumit) is the Supe who’s been assassinating people through a series of gruesome head explosions. As for whether she’s working for Vought, or someone else, is unknown. Season 3 will also adapt the raunchy “Herogasm” storyline from the comics as well as introduce Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy.

But before Season 3 makes it undoubtedly raunchy premiere, The Boys: Diabolical is heading to Amazon for fans to get their binge on. The entire season of the animated spinoff will drop on March 4 and feature eight 12-minute long episodes filled with canonical mayhem including a look at Homelander’s origin story. The madcap series is also sporting one heck of a voice cast:

Awkwafina, Michael Cera, Don Cheadle, Chace Crawford, Kieran Culkin, Giancarlo Esposito, Eliot Glazer, Jason Isaacs, Kumail Nanjiani, Justin Roiland, Seth Rogen, Andy Samberg, Ben Schwartz, Elisabeth Shue, Christian Slater, Kevin Smith, Antony Starr, Nasim Pedrad, Simon Pegg, Kenan Thompson, Aisha Tyler, and Oscar-winner Youn Yuh Jung.

The Boys: Diabolical streams March 4 followed by The Boys Season 3 on June 3.

The Weeknd has announced the North American dates for his After Hours Til Dawn Tour supported by frequent collaborator Doja Cat, which kicks off just after Independence Day and continues through September. The Weeknd and Doja Cat previously collaborated on a remix of “In Your Eyes” from After Hours, as well as “You Right” from Planet Her.

The Canadian star apparently initially planned to announce the dates last month, but delayed his announcement due to the initiation of overt hostilities between Russia and Ukraine. The Weeknd actually postponed the tour late last year, citing the “constraints of arenas and the demand for more shows,” and scaling up to stadiums. You can find the full North American tour date information below and at The Weeknd’s tour site.

In season three of Succession, Alexander Skarsgård played a tech billionaire who gets invited to fancy parties and lives in impossibly-expensive mansions. In Robert Eggers’ The Northman, Alexander Skarsgård plays a mud- and blood-covered viking who has to avenge the death of his father. Guess which one was a more enjoyable experience.

“It was physically and mentally the most difficult job I’ve ever had, but also the most rewarding,” the ripped True Blood actor told Total Film about filming The Northman. “The days were really long and hard, and we were out in the mud, and up on these mountaintops with the wind and the cold. The week prior, I was working on the television show Succession, on which I play a tech billionaire in a villa on Lake Como.”

Skarsgård said he “literally went from playing one of the richest dudes on the planet in a crazy, beautiful villa, surrounded by yachts and helicopters and luxury” to flying to Iceland to “get shackled and dragged through the mud. It was definitely a waking-up moment and a humbling experience.” I have a sneaking suspicion that his Succession character would not have empathy for what his The Northman character went through.

Something like this:

The Northman, which also stars Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe, opens on April 22.

In between stops on their tour supporting their 2021 album Glow On, Turnstile stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live!. During their appearance, they performed “Mystery” from the acclaimed album. As they perform, the band members thrive on each other’s energy, jumping around on stage, with the audience mirroring them.

Known for constantly experimenting with their sounds and aesthetics, Turnstile incorporated a variety of sounds on Glow On, including punk and hip-hop. Glow On placed highly on the 2021 Uproxx Music Critics Poll and the album’s success has allowed the band tours alongside Slowthai and Chief Keef.

In an interview with Uproxx last year, Turnstile member Franz Lyons expressed gratitude for Glow On reaching new audiences.

“We made a lot of ill new relationships with people,” Lyons said. “We’re just thankful that we were fortunate enough for them to hear the record, and the record did the work. The word of mouth has been very strong… We’ve been really fortunate enough to run into people that are real ones lately. And the ones that we’ve been holding on to for a long time have been riding with us for like a decade now. So it’s solid.”

In addition to “Mystery,” Turnstile also performed Glow On cuts “Blackout,” “Don’t Play,” and “Holiday” as web exclusives.

Check out Turnstile’s performance of “Mystery” above and find the other performances below.

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of all the notable sneaker drops from brands large and small. If you’ve been feeling like Supreme has been particularly quiet as of late, this is your week because the box logo brand is back with their first Nike collaboration of the year, a three-colorway Nike high-top Dunk collection that reps New York City.

That’s not the biggest release of the week though, that honor belongs to Drake who is dropping a new Nike sneaker via his NOCTA label. Drake is joined by Tyler the Creator and Kanye West who are also delivering new kicks, so if you’re a fan of rap-centric footwear, we don’t know how you’re going to decide where to spend your money! But let’s be real… it’s probably going to be on the Yeezys.

Let’s dive into this week’s best sneaker drops.

Adidas Supernova Cushion 7 Black

Inspired by Adidas’ archival designs from the 2000s, this week’s all-black Supernova Cushion 7 is a mix of retro and modern sensibilities. The design comes from a performance-based angle first, with a lightweight perforated mesh upper and an adiPRENE sole unit designed to give maximum comfort, a light step, and the sort of energy return you need out of a good running shoe.

If you had any doubt that we’ve shifted from the days of ’90s inspired footwear into y2k land, look around you, even Nike Shox are back!

The Adidas Supernova Cushion 7 is out now for a retail price of $119. Pick up a pair at Sneakersnstuff.

WMNS Nike Air More Uptempo Summit White

If you’ve been following Euphoria this season, you’ve probably noticed the new character Faye for her unique e-girl meets streetwear style, and aside from the baby doll tees and the anime tights, the quickest way to match her look is by picking up some Nike Air More Uptempos which drop this week in a Summit White colorway.

Faye’s Uptempos were in the vintage Ray Gun colorway, and these aren’t quite as cool, but the Summit White combines black and white over an all-leather upper, which, as far as sneakerheads are concerned, is a classic colorway that is always in style. Right now we’re living through a transitional phase in sneaker design, as the dominant influence shifts from the ‘90s to the Y2K era, at this Uptempo’s largo logo feels like the perfect middle ground between the eras.

The Women’s Air More Uptempo Summit White are out now for a retail price of $170. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or your favorite aftermarket site.

Drake x Nike NOCTA Hot Step Air Terra

Drake’s Nike imprint, NOCTA, is back with a new drop this week, the Hot Step Air Terra. The NOCTA Hot Step Air Terra takes liberal inspiration from the ‘90s, with a design that reads like a luxurious interpretation of basketball sneakers, a la the Jordans of that era and the Air Terra Humara. ‘But Dane, you said modern sneakers were influenced by the ’00s now,’ I know, I know, but Drake is 35 now, he’s in his Jay-Z and Michael Jordan at retirement elder statesmen era. He needs a luxurious leather basketball shoe exclusively!

The Hot Step Air Terra features an all-leather upper with mini-swooshes, reflective detailing throughout, and is available in both a Triple White and Triple Black colorway.

The Drake x Nike NOCTA Hot Step Air Terra is set to drop on March 2rd for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair via the NOCTA webstore or aftermarket sites like GOAT.

Supreme x Nike SB Dunk High By Any Means

Supreme returns with their first big drop of the year, a three sneaker collection of high-top SB Dunks. Featuring an all-leather upper with embroidered lettering that reads “By Any Means,” this New York City repping sneaker drops in a white and black, green and yellow, or red and navy varsity-inspired color palette with a co-branded footbed and a woven logo label at the tongue.

The Supreme x Nike SB Dunk High collection is set to drop on March 3rd for an unannounced retail price. Pick up a pair at the Supreme webstore.

Golf Wang Chuck 70 Python

Tyler the Creator is dropping a brand new low-top iteration of the Chuck 70 that perfectly mixes his grit meets glamour aesthetic. Dubbed the Python, this iteration features a snakeskin leather upper in place of the traditional canvas, with a cobranded sockliner, and sports a bright pastel pink or sky blue colorway with matching toe boxes and outsoles that shimmer in certain lights.

It looks fit for the spring season, and we have to give it to Tyler’s, it’s not easy to reimagine a classic like the Chuck 70 and look fresh and modern at the same time.

The Golf Wang Chuck 70 Python is set to drop on March 4th for an unannounced retail price. Pick up a pair at Converse and Golf Wang.

Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Static

It’s looking like this year Yeezy Brand is paying special attention to the beloved but rare 700 silhouette. The OG Wave Runner is set to return this month but this week we’re getting a new Static colorway of the V2 in all its dad-shoe wavy-upper glory.

The Static features a chunky BOOST midsole with a mixed mesh-based upper with grey and white paneling. The V2 is a bit more low-key than the V1 and more traditional than the futuristic V3s, so if you’re going for that simple and dignified dad sneaker look, this hits the Goldilock’s zone.

The Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Static is set to drop on March 5th for a retail price of $300. Pick up a pair via the Adidas Confirmed app or Yeezy Supply.

Adidas Superstar ADV x Kader

Adidas is constantly killing it with their pro skater sneaker collaborations, but this week’s new Superstar is the best new skate shoe the brand has dropped all year. Made in collaboration with pro skater Kader Sylla, the Kader features a moody black monochrome colorway with gold foil branding, a premium tumbled leather upper and pony hair stripes.

It’s stealthy, luxurious, and practical all at once.

The Adidas Superstar ADV x Kader is set to drop on March 5th for a retail price of $100. Pick up a pair via the Adidas Confirmed app.

Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address was as action-packed as The Batman promises to be, and came complete with its own ridiculous villains: Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene, who behaved like far less lovable versions of The Muppet Show’s Statler and Waldorf. Seth Meyers nailed it in his description of the trouble-making lawmakers when he dubbed them a couple of “disruptive a**holes.”

On Wednesday, Meyers used his “A Closer Look” segment to dig further into the SOTU, and its most talked about moments—including Boebert and Greene’s pathetic attempts to yet again make everything about them. After criticizing Florida senator Marco Rubio for not even bothering to show up, Meyers had much harsher words for some of Rubio’s GOP colleagues in the House:

Meanwhile, some of the Republicans who did show up were disruptive a**holes like Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene. First, they pulled a dumb stunt where they turned their backs on Biden’s cabinet as they entered the chamber. Although I genuinely can’t tell if they’re turning their backs or they’re just wasted and don’t know which way to look. I mean, they have the vibe and posture of two college sophomores at a party looking for a friend who left hours ago…

And was that supposed to be a powerful statement? You don’t look like you’re turning your backs, you look like you’re waiting for your Uber after getting kicked out of an Applebee’s on St. Patrick’s Day for drinking one too many Tipsy Leprechauns.’

Unfortunately, the childish displays didn’t end there. The conspiracy theory-lovin’ ladies went on to later heckle Biden in the midst of his speech… though they couldn’t really even get that right. When the president’s attention turned toward immigration, Reps. Dumb and Dumber use the opportunity to yell “Build the wall!” at Biden.

“They were drowned out by applause,” Meyers noted. “But there’s a photo of them yelling during the speech where they look like two overbearing Little League moms berating their kids from the stands.”

While Meyers noted that the photo might make some people angry, he does see a silver lining in it all: “[I]f I’ve learned anything, and one thing, from watching Real Housewives, it’s that two white ladies this erratic will eventually turn on each other.”

You can watch the full clip above.

Andy Serkis stopped by The Late Show on Wednesday night to promote The Batman, but it didn’t take long for things to go all Middle Earth thanks to Lord of the Rings superfan Stephen Colbert. After learning that Serkis narrated a Lord of the Rings audiobook that saw the versatile actor/director voice over 132 characters, he demonstrated a few for Colbert before putting a poignant spin on the ring-obsessed Gollum. Serkis, who famously did the award-winning voice and motion capture work for the creature in the Peter Jackson films, imagined the twisted little guy as Vladimir Putin, and the impression left Colbert impressed.

Via Yahoo:

“Gollum was on the side and Sméagol was on this side,” Serkis explained. “And he would say things like, ‘We wants it. We needs it. We must have Kyiv!’ ‘No Precious, they’re to impose sanctions!’ ‘Sanctions? Sanctions, my Precious? If they do anything, we’re going to give them s*** back.’”

Eventually, the conversation steered back to The Batman, which features Serkis putting a new spin on Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne’s butler, father figure, and trusted partner in his war crime. However, the topic of Russia invading Ukraine still weighed heavy, as it should.

“There’s so much anticipation for this movie right now, that it’s actually being used as a cudgel against the Russians by not playing it there,” Colbert said. “It’s one of the sanctions being leveled against Russia that they don’t get this movie. Very powerful.”

The Batman opens in theaters on March 4.

Last night, Billboard hosted its annual Women In Music event and Olivia Rodrigo was the evening’s big winner. In addition to taking home the Woman Of The Year award, she opened the show by performing “Deja Vu.”

Rodrigo took a different approach to this rendition than she did the studio version we’re familiar with, as this one has more of the rock influence seen on some of her other songs, most notably “Good 4 U.” The performance began with Rodrigo singing over acoustic guitar. As the song worked its way to the chorus, other members of her backing back worked their way into the fold for a more guitar-driven rendition.

Later, she accepted the Woman Of The Year award and gave a speech in which she showed her appreciation for the women in music who came before her, as well as her contemporaries and up-and-comers trying to find their way:

“It’s not always easy being a young woman in the music industry, but I found so much strength from the female songwriters and artists who have come before me and paved the way and opened doors for so many young women like me. And that’s what so amazing about this event. Every woman here today is working to break down those barriers and change the narrative and support each other, and I am so inspired by all the incredible women in this room. I want to thank you all for your support; I am supporting all of you.

I want to say to all of the young girls out there who are writing songs every day in their journals, on their bedroom floors: I am constantly moved by your vulnerability and your creativity and bravery, and I promise everyone here today is working to make this world and this industry a better place for you.”

In 2000, actor and comedian Connor Ratliff booked a small role on HBO’s Band of Brothers. But the day before he was scheduled to shoot his scenes, he was fired from the miniseries supposedly because creator Tom Hanks thought he had “dead eyes.” Ratliff, understandably, has spent the last 20-plus years thinking about what one of the world’s most famous actors — and a famously nice guy, at that — has against his eyes.

So, he made a podcast about it.

Over the course of 30 episodes of Dead Eyes, Ratliff has spoken to Rian Johnson, Seth Rogen, Jon Hamm, D’Arcy Carden, Aparna Nancherla, and Judd Apatow, among others, about why Hanks fired him. It’s also a podcast about rejection, and although “not everyone has one that is so star-studded,” Ratliff told Vanity Fair, “everybody has some story like, ‘Boy, I really was feeling good and confident. And then I got thrown for a loop.’”

On Wednesday’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, Ratliff revealed that he finally got in touch with Hanks and booked him for an episode of the podcast. “On March 10, for our 31st episode, our season three finale will feature my conversation with Tom Hanks,” he said, adding that “we hash out everything.” Here’s more with Vanity Fair:

“I was always of the mindset that if he remembers — great, because we’re gonna hear his side of it. If he doesn’t remember, then that’s also great. As long as we can unpack it. What we arrived at in the interview is completely satisfying to me. It was not what I expected. He did not hold back.”

Also, be sure to check out the hilarious The George Lucas Show, where Ratliff plays “retired filmmaker” George Lucas. Here’s the kind of madness you should expect:

Britney Spears has openly shared her feelings about her family in the months before and after her conservatorship came to an end, and it appears she subtly did so again with an Instagram post yesterday.

The image is formatted as a written test from elementary school. Shown is a three-part question, which asks, “Who is your hero,” “Who do you consider this person your hero,” and “Is there anything your hero is frightened of?” The respective answers, written in messy childlike handwriting, are “dad,” “he is brave,” and “mom.”

While most of Spears’ criticism about her family has been directed towards her father Jamie and her sister Jamie Lynn, this post appears to be along the same train of thought as a post Spears shared and deleted back in November, when she wrote, “My dad may have started the conservatorship 13 years ago .. but what people don’t know is is that my mom is the one who gave him the idea !!!! I will never get those years back …. she secretly ruined my life … and yes I will call her and Lou Taylor [Spears’ former business manager] out on it … so take your whole ‘I have NO IDEA what’s going on’ attitude and go f*ck yourself !!!! You know exactly what you did … my dad is not smart enough to ever think of a conservatorship ….. but tonight I will smile knowing I have a new life ahead of me !!!!”
