To celebrate the tenth anniversary of her third album, Grimes is releasing a special vinyl reissue that includes an exclusive art print and liner notes that are written and illustrated by Grimes. As for the vinyl, it will be a single LP on 180g Magenta & Green Galaxy vinyl. “Wow, I can hear myself learning how to make music in this song,” said of Grimes of Visions‘s opening track, “Infinite Love Without Fulfillment,” continuing: “I remember doing the vocal over the drums and then randomly trying that bass line and being like whoa! And kinda spiraling into this experiment.”
What began as an experiment for her arguably launched a whole new realm of cerebral synth-pop that toed the line between mainstream pop music and experimental electronic sounds that were only just making their way up out of the underground. No matter how you feel about Grimes post-Elon, Visions is definitely an excellent album and worth owning on vinyl.
Microsft and Activision Blizzard are two giants in the industry. There was no scenario where these two joining forces wouldn’t have ripple effects, because many of the IPs, services, and competitors involved are behemoths themselves. We’re going to be seeing the impact of this deal for years to come, but until that comes to fruition, all we can do right now is speculate on what we think is going to happen.
With all that in mind, these are three areas across the industry that we wanted to focus on.
Call of Duty
Arguably the biggest yearly franchise in gaming, Call of Duty is a behemoth. Millions play it every year, it is frequently among the highest selling games of the year and has one of the most popular battle royales in Warzone. This has been the flagship title of Activision for well over a decade and suddenly it’s going to be going into the ownership of Microsoft and Xbox. This isn’t the same as when Microsoft purchased Bethesda and started selling their games exclusively on the Xbox. Call of Duty is the kind of franchise that extends beyond console and it would be a monumental — and really, really harmful — change if it suddenly went Xbox and PC exclusive.
Call of Duty fans not only buy and play the game, but pay for skins, loot boxes, and all the other extra bells and whistles that so many companies make money off of these days. Removing that income source for a chance at exclusivity, in this day and age, would just be bad business, and it stands to reason that Microsoft would understand this and not make CoD a console exclusive. There’s just too much money in it being available for all gamers.
Having said that, over the last decade, we’ve seen a lot of Activision’s branch companies get folded into the giant brand that is Call of Duty as support studios. Instead of allowing them to develop games, they ended up becoming more fuel to fund a giant. While we don’t expect that support for Call of Duty to end, ideally some of these branch companies allowed to expand and make their own games, maybe even spin-off from Call of Duty. The Xbox umbrella allows for more creativity, and hopefully, we get to see it.
Game Pass
We’ve spoken at length about how Game Pass is the best deal in gaming right now. No service gives players a larger catalog of games to play at no additional cost than Game Pass. The deep library of current and older games makes it a must-have for anyone that’s even remotely interested in gaming outside of their comfort zone, and to top all of this off, every single Microsoft-published game releases to Game Pass day one.
That last tidbit is where the purchase of Activision Blizzard gets very interesting. Yes, there’s now a huge library of games that could come to Game Pass from franchises like Warcraft and Diablo, but have we considered that every single game under the Activision Blizzard name could be a Game Pass release? Overwatch 2, every Call of Duty, and any new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games could all potentially be available at launch through the service.
We’ve known for a long time that Game Pass was Microsoft’s plan to push the Xbox branding in the future, but as it continues making moves to bring gigantic IP’s to the service, it’s never been more clear that Microsoft does not plan on fading back towards selling the console as their main branding strategy. Obviously, consoles are still extremely important, but getting people into that Game Pass ecosystem is the obvious goal and Microsoft is willing to keep on spending to make it happen.
We can still expect Sony to conduct itself with the same level of confidence it always has. Part of why Microsoft has had to seek out these deals is because its first-party exclusives have, for a long time, been weaker in comparison to the ones that Sony has traditionally published. With Horizon Forbidden West and God of War: Ragnarok expected to debut in 2022, a big year is on deck for Sony despite Tuesday’s news.
Unfortunately for Sony, many of the things it has been pushing back against for so long are starting to become the norm. Crossplay, PC gaming, and cloud gaming are all services that Microsoft embraced. Their services beyond a great console and great games need to be improved and we would not be surprised to see that become a focus.
Last year, Sia released the film Music, which she directed and scored. The film starred dancer Maddie Ziegler portraying a nonverbal autistic teenage girl. Members of the autistic community condemned Sia for having a neurotypical person represent someone on the autism spectrum and slammed a particular scene that shows the character put in a dangerous restraint which can lead to suffocation. Though the film went on to win two Golden Globe awards, Sia now says the backlash was so intense that it led her to relapsing and having suicidal thoughts.
The singer recently spoke to The New York Times for a profile on actress and comedian Kathy Griffin, who is a dear friend of Sia’s. The singer explained how, following her film’s criticism, she “was suicidal and relapsed and went to rehab.” Sia went on to commend Griffin for her help, saying Griffin invited her out for dinner in Hollywood in order to generate some positive press around Sia’s name. “She saved my life,” Sia told The Times.
Following conversations about Music from the autistic community, Sia announced that her film will include a warning going forward. “I promise, have been listening,” she said. “The motion picture MUSIC will, moving forward, have this warning at the head of the movie: MUSIC in no way condones or recommends the use of restraint on autistic people.”
Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish movies available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Andrew Garfield is giving theater-kids everywhere a musical-thirst-trap performance in this Lin-Manuel Miranda-directed biopic that pays tribute to Jonathan Larson, the artistic genius who changed Broadway with his seminal musical Rent. This film examines Larson’s life before fans were belting out Season of Love though, with Garfield giving an award-worthy turn as a restless visionary who feels the suffocating deadline of turning 30 without having produced a great show. The supporting cast is terrific, Garfield is doing his best work, and Miranda infuses everything with a genuine sense of love and admiration that makes it hard not to root for this one. Watch it on Netflix.
Halle Berry’s MMA movie made a deal with Netflix and now Halle Berry’s MMA movie is on Netflix. Yes, that sentence said “Halle Berry’s MMA movie twice but, to be fair, it’s a phrase it takes a little bit of time to wrap your head around. Berry makes her directorial debut and stars as a disgraced fighter named Jackie Justice (Jackie Justice!) who is back in the cage to deal with various personal demons. It’s Halle Berry’s MMA movie! The reviews are pretty good! Watch it on Netflix.
As odd as it is to have a movie about two of the greatest athletes of all time told centered on, not the women winning Grand Slams and Olympic gold medals, but their determined, driven father – King Richard works. It works because Will Smith exudes charisma and charm but he also brings a believable grit and weary defiance to the role of Richard Williams, the man who gave tennis not one, but two female legends. This is Serena and Venus’ story, told from the perspective of the man who believed in them when no one else did so, yeah, grab a box of tissues before you sit down to watch. Watch it on HBO Max.
Benedict Cumberbatch gives a villainous performance for the ages in The Power of the Dog, the first film in 12 years from director Jane Campion. The western is expected (and deserves) to be an Oscars frontrunner, so hop on the horse-drawn bandwagon now. Watch it on Netflix.
Set in the near future, Swan Song stars two-time Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as a husband and father who’s dying from a terminal illness. To spare his family from unimaginable grief, he secretly agrees to undergo an experimental treatment where his memories will be transported into an exact healthy duplicate. Swan Song examines how far we’re willing to go to protect the ones we love. It’s science-fiction at its most melancholy. Watch it on Apple TV+.
Aaron Sorkin is back with a movie about I Love Lucy and its stars, with Nicole Kidman playing Lucille Ball, and a whole bunch of other stuff. You know what to expect here, probably, if you’ve seen a Sorkin movie or television show in the past. The dialogue will be snappy, the villains and heroes will be clearly defined, all of it. The important thing here is that we all agree that Lucille Ball was pretty impressive. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
7. South Park: Post-COVID: The Return of COVID (Paramount Plus)
Paramount Plus
It’s the follow-up to the first COVID special and things are still weird. There are experiments and mental asylum escapes and marijuana farming and pretty much everything you’ve come to expect from South Park at this stage of the game. There are worse ways to spend a few hours this weekend. Watch it on Paramount Plus.
This one is pretty straightforward: the delightfully incompetent police department from the long-running Comedy Central series is now, for some beautiful reason, on the hunt for the mysterious political conspiracy theorist Qanon, and their mission takes them from the desert of Nevada to, for other beautiful reasons, the open seas. Maybe straightforward wasn’t the right word. It’s probably best to avoid asking questions. Let’s just roll with it and be glad it exists. Watch it on Paramount Plus.
Jennifer Lawrence is back in Don’t Look Up, Adam McKay’s apocalyptic satire about two low-level astronomers (J-Law and Leonardo DiCaprio) who try to warn everyone on Earth about an approaching comet — but no one seems to care. The ensemble cast also includes Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Ariana Grande, Timothée Chalamet, Cate Blanchett, and Tyler Perry. Maybe that’s why no one cares about the comet. They’re too busy looking at all those stars. Watch it on Netflix.
What we have here: George Clooney directing Ben Affleck in a film adaptation of a best-selling memoir about a writer who learns a number of life lessons while working as a bartender. The star power here is undeniable and makes it worth at least a snoop at some point, but it does make us wish — at least a little bit — that Clooney and Affleck had teamed up to make a movie about two handsome guys in tuxedos who team up to steal… oh, let’s say the Liberty Bell. This is probably fine, too, though. Watch it on Amazon Prime.
The gang is all back. Mostly. They’re mostly all back. Keanu is there as Neo, with the John Wick beard. Carrie Ann Moss is back as Trinity even though Trinity kind of… died. It’s a whole thing. And it’s fun. This all could have gone a lot worse, really, which isn’t exactly the highest praise but is still important. Let’s do it all again in another 20 years. Let’s make it a thing. Watch it on HBO Max.
The Tragedy of Macbeth is the first time Joel Coen has made a movie with no involvement from his brother, Ethan. But even without his sibling, this black-and-white adaptation of one of William Shakespeare’s bloodiest plays is typically excellent, with stellar performances from Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand, Corey Hawkins, Stephen Root, and Kathryn Hunter. Something wicked good this way comes… to streaming. Watch it on Apple TV+.
The standout cut from the Encanto soundtrack, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” is the latest addition to the Maddeningly Catchy Disney Song canon, along with recent inductees “Let It Go” and “You’re Welcome.” (Lin-Manuel Miranda apparently knows a thing or two about songwriting, who knew?) The rest of the movie is fun, colorful, and teaches an important lesson about family and community, and you get to hear Rosa from Brooklyn Nine-Nine belt it out. But the best reason to watch Encanto is to learn firsthand why “Bruno” is one of the most popular songs in the country right now. Should you skip Encanto? Bruno-no-no-no. Watch it on Disney Plus.

We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers.

10. (tie) True Story With Ed and Randall (Peacock)
PEACOCK
What if Drunk History but completely dry and rooted in the charming and sometimes inspirational stories of regular people? As told to the delightful tandem of Ed Helms and Randall Park (who know nothing about the story they’re about to hear), the show pairs its core stories with a cast of guest stars who are given room to play and mine laughs in a series of re-creations, proving the value of an astonishing tale told right. Watch it on Peacock.
It seemed improbable that a one-note SNL sketch sending up an ’80s action TV show could be stretched into a film, but dammit they did it, creating a cult favorite action-comedy that has now spurred a Peacock TV series. Circle of life! Unfortunately, Val Kilmer couldn’t return but the specter of the film’s explosive and urine-soaked conclusion hangs over MacGruber’s life, setting him off on a trail of redemption that is a lot more fully developed than you might imagine. Sure this thing is friggin hilarious in all the ways you’d expect, but it’s also a damn good TV show with a platinum level cast with Billy Zane and Laurence Fishburne joining Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe, and Will Forte as they reprise their roles. Watch it on Peacock.
It’s time to go on another swashbuckling rampage through destiny as Henry Cavill’s wig returns for more monster hunting on The Continent. The show’s got a lot to live up to, given that it defied expectations during its debut, and it’s still a banger. That is to say, the Humble Bard is cranking out his angst in song, Geralt has less time to be grumpy, and Ciri is in training mode. The monsters are better, the emotions run higher, and we’ve got two new kids on the block: Killing Eve‘s Kim Bodnia (as Geralt’s mentor, Vesemir) and Game Of Thrones‘ Kristofer Hivju (in highly unflattering prosthetics, and we’ll leave it at that). Watch it on Netflix.
The final season of the most exciting, darkly funny comedy on TV right now launches with a near-death experience, a mental asylum stay, and a pair of gay dads who label their genetically-engineered baby a “conversation starter.” Impossibly enough, things only get more bizarre – and a hell of a lot funnier – from there. With a comedically-gifted cast, some wild story arcs, cults, and a Jeff Goldblum cameo, Search Party’s swan song proves it’s the boldest show out there. Watch it on HBO Max.
The degree of difficulty in what Billions is trying to do should not be understated. Not only are they changing things up following Damian Lewis’ exit with a new co-lead but they’re also trying to pull off an on-screen culture change in the way Axe Cap does business, trading brash rule-breaking for a more evolved and above board seeming process. Seeming is a key word here, because while Corey Stoll’s Michael Prince is no Bobby Axelrod, he’s still hyper-competitive and ambitious, putting him square in the sights of Paul Giamatti’s Chuck Rhoades. So, how’s it going heading into season 6? We’ll spare the spoilers, but the whole thing brings a freshness to the cat and mouse game at the show’s center and, as always, dimension and delight can be found in the often compelling and entertaining side characters that populate the show. Watch it on Showtime.
The O.G. All Valley Karate Tournament confrontation took place 30 years ago, and Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence can’t get over it. Likewise, their respective dojos, Miyagi-Do and Eagle Fang, attempt to join forces against John Kreese’s ownership of Cobra Kai, but of course, getting along will prove to be a bumpy road. Kreese has called in reinforcements in the form of his old Vietnam War buddy and co-founder of the Cobra Kai dojo, Terry Silver, who returns to the franchise. Who will win the spirit of karate in the Valley, and can Hawk and Tory keep their bully spirits alive while Johnny’s messing around with a crane kick? Robby’s also all in with enemy territory, and training methods are crossing like crazy, for better or worse. Watch it on Netflix.
One of the bigger things to know about this particular franchise revival is that it includes Kim Cattrall, who opted out of another franchise revival (the Sex And The City continuation, And Just Like That). Cattrall portrays the future version of Hilary Duff’s Sophie, and of course, we’re going to hear all about how Sophie met her son’s dad, way back in 2022 when the realm of dating apps made looking-for-love even more complicated than in the IRL days. 87 Tinder dates in one year sounds like a total nightmare, so enjoy the vicarious nightmare. Watch it on Hulu.
One of The Suicide Squad‘s characters who seemed least likely (well, there actually were a lot of them, including poor Boomerang) to make it out alive has his own spinoff series. That would be John Cena’s horribly patriotic bro, and it’s still hellaciously funny that this is happening because James Gunn got bored during quarantine and decided to write this TV show. Never fear, though. He Of the Butthole Jokes is still as worthy of contempt as always. There’s no telling whether we’ll see another Squad movie, so soak up as much of this end of the DCEU while it’s hot. Watch it on HBO Max.
Righteous Gemstones is back, building on its God-squaded Succession vibes with more in-fighting, corruption, and largesse. Simply put, the Gemstones are in the dynasty business, looking to upsize, let loose, and steer clear of the claw of consequences that keeps grabbing at them. As hilarious as it is compelling, the show has somehow found a way to bring the thunder yet again with its stand-out cast, adding Eric Andre, Jason Schwartzman, and a spectacular Eric Roberts to the mix beside Danny McBride, John Goodman, Walton Goggins, Edi Patterson, and company. Dream Team ’92 level comedy casting, folks. Watch it on HBO.
The bad news is that Marty Byrde and fam will only be with us for one more season. The good news is that this is a supersized season that will arrive in two halves, so let’s pretend that it’s two more seasons. Jason Bateman’s baby has been good to us all, even if it’s been bad for Marty, Wendy, and the kids, and so-so for Ruth (Julia Garner’s set to rule the world). This season, we’ll see what happened after the blood-spattered tarmac happenings in Mexico. One can bet that this new beginning won’t be any more relaxing than the Byrdes’ money-laundering U.S. life. Watch it on Netflix.
Euphoria’s first season was a glitter bomb of teenage angst, drug-fueled spirals, and social media-splattered heartbreak. It’s been two years since Jules left Rue on that train platform and the show’s return promises some kind of resolution to their romance, the return of some familiar faces, and new additions that pressure the group to get their sh*t figured out. They won’t, of course, but the mayhem, bathroom fights, drug busts, and masterclass in acting Zendaya will surely give us will still be worth it. Watch it on HBO.
Nas never really struck me as a gamer, but he has been a shrewd investor over the past couple of decades, so his investment in South African mobile game publisher Carry1st actually makes perfect sense. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nas joined venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, Google, and League Of Legends developer Riot Games in raising $20 million of financing for Carry1st, which is known for publishing Tilting Point’s SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off. Carry1st is based in Cape Town and looking to expand on its 96 percent monthly revenue growth, moving into games development and pro gaming.
Cordel Robbin-Coker, co-founder and CEO of Carry1st, said in a statement, “We’re excited to partner with this world-class group of investors who, in addition to capital, bring expertise across gaming, fintech, and web3. In 2021, we launched multiple games and digital commerce solutions achieving really strong growth. Together we can accelerate this growth and achieve our goal of becoming the leading consumer internet company in the region.”
Nas’ other recent investments include involvement in cryptocurrency and NFTs, which he’s used to split streaming rights to two of his recent songs with fans, and Audius, an artist-driven streaming platform. Of course, he’s also got his label and media company, Mass Appeal, which has released projects from Nas himself, Boldy James, Dave East, Run The Jewels, and more. If his latest bet pays off, he’ll have a toehold in a whole new arena (shooter, boom), becoming a legend in the rap game and video game worlds.
Like bacon memes and “Call Me Maybe” remixes, local news clips were an internet staple in the early-to-mid 2010s. But they’ve faded in popularity in recent years due to the news being so damn depressing. But every so often, there’s one that’s still worth watching… and re-watching… and watching again just to confirm what you saw.
WSAZ-TV reporter Tori Yorgey (great name) was doing a live news report about a water main break caused by the chilly weather in Dunbar, West Virginia, when she was struck by a car. “Oh my God! I just got hit by a car, but I’m OK. I just got hit by a car, but I’m OK, Tim. I’m OK, we’re all good,” she told anchor Tim Irr, with incredible enthusiasm for someone who literally just got hit by a car. Maybe because it wasn’t her first time:
“That’s live TV for you. It’s all good,” said the upbeat Yorgey, who apparently was reporting solo at the scene. “I actually got hit by a car in college, too, just like that. I am so glad I’m OK.”
The driver who had just struck her could be heard apologizing, but Yorgey assured her that she was all right.
Yorgey said her “whole life flashed before my eyes” (the parts of her life where she wasn’t being hit by a car), but “this is live TV and everything is OK. I thought I was in a safe spot, but clearly we might need to move the camera over a little bit.” After taking a moment to recover, Yorgey got back to the report, so the good people of Dunbar, WV, better chip in and buy her something nice as a thank you. Maybe some pads? A helmet?
As for Orr:
On the contrary. I couldn’t see what happened. Only audio. Then, I wasn’t truly convinced she was ok.
Because the secret sauce to MAGA-world has always been conspiracy theories as far as the eye can see, Steve Bannon has hurled a bold new claim at Lindsey Graham that accuses the South Carolina senator of being a secret anti-Trump traitor. During the Wednesday episode of his War Room podcast, Bannon lashed out at the five Republican senators who Joe Biden says are working with him privately so as not to face primary challengers from the fair right. Just the mere thought of members of the GOP not being loyal to Trump sent Bannon into a rage.
“The five traitors — and this is the scumbags and slimeballs you have here in the nation’s capital — he got five Republican senators have told him they agree with what he’s doing,” Bannon fumed. “They agree with what he’s doing and they would vote and support him, but they’re afraid of, wait for it, the War Room Posse.”
While he has no proof, Bannon is convinced that Graham is one of the MAGA traitors, and he had no qualms about calling the senator out by name during his broadcast. “Have enough guts to step up and tell us, Lindsey Graham, who you are,” Bannon said. “We need you guys to step up to the plate, Lindsey Graham!”
Bannon’s theory arrives at an interesting time. Just last week, Graham questioned the leadership skills of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell based solely on his insufficient support of Trump.
“If you want to be a Republican leader in the House or the Senate, you have to have a working relationship with Trump,” Graham told Sean Hannity. “Im not going to vote for anybody that can’t have a working relationship with Trump.”
Britney Spears’ long-standing conservatorship was officially terminated back in September, but there are still a few legal loose ends related to that arrangement that still need to be tied up. Yesterday, Spears took another step closer to fully reclaiming her independence, as Rolling Stone reports that a judge ruled Spears will regain control over her fortune, which consists of an estimated $60 million in assets.
Furthermore, there will also be an evidentiary hearing will take place “before the court closes the books on Britney’s recently terminated conservatorship and all its pending requests for outstanding payments” from Jamie Spears. The arguments in the Wednesday hearing reportedly “devolved into shouting matches,” after which Judge Brenda Penny set a follow-up hearing for July 27.
Britney has expressed her gratitude for her attorney, Mathew Rosengart, writing on Instagram in October, “Thankfully I found an amazing attorney Mathew Rosengart who has helped change my life !!!!”
Speaking of social media, Britney has been more open than ever on Instagram and Twitter in recent days. This has mostly been related to her spat with sister Jamie Lynn, which boiled over yesterday when an enraged Britney accused Jamie Lynn of treating their mother poorly and wrote, “F*ck you Jamie Lynn !!!!“
In a new interview, Fat Joe credits his peer and part-time rival Jay-Z for having the “hardest lyric in hip-hop.” Appearing on the I Am Athlete podcast with hosts Brandon Marshall, Chad Ochocinco Johnson, DJ Williams, and LeSean McCoy, Joe explained why he believes a line from Jay’s debut album Reasonable Doubt sums up a philosophy that is underrated but important for success in any endeavor.
The line in question appears on “Feelin’ It,” the fourth and final single from Reasonable Doubt. Over a sample of jazz musician Ahmad Jamal’s 1974 song “Pastures” re-worked by Ski Beatz, Jay rhymes, “If every n**** in your clique is rich, then your clique is rugged / Nobody will fall ‘cause everyone will be each other’s crutches.”
Joe expounds on that idea for I Am Athlete, explaining, “Everybody wanna be the man. Everybody wanna be the guy everybody looks up to. There’s no real strength in that. The strength is in everybody eating — so that if one of us falls, we can lift him up. You have to understand that mentality.”
As far as his former rivalry with Jay, he credits that to his jealousy of Jay’s success — and Jay stepping in on the one place Joe reigned supreme: The world-famous Rucker Park basketball league. “The man was always winning,” he chuckles. “I might have been a little jealous if I’m gonna be a man about it. He won at everything. He had the baddest chick in the world. So, what Joe had carved out was this: I always had the streets, no matter who I had beef with. And so The Rucker is part of the streets. That was the streets in the summertime, and out of nowhere here comes this guy after I win five ‘chips in a row, he wants a team!”
