Tucker Carlson has been pretty mockable lately. After the Derek Chauvin verdict was announced, he — along with much of conservative media — seemed to lose his mind. On not one but two instances he broke into maniacal laughter, as though something in him had finally broken. But by Monday he was back to his usual self, which was to say he was back to making the world a worse place.

On his Fox News show Monday night, Carlson decided to circle back on one of his viewers’ biggest fears: strapping a cotton mask (or two) to one’s face, so as not to either contract or spread a highly contagious disease. It’s been a simple way to slow the spread, and it’s effective, too; one need only look at the high infection and death rates in places like Florida, whose governor, Ron DeSantis, has played down the efficacy of COVID protection, with deadly results.

But DeSantis hasn’t dialed back his COVID skepticism, and neither has Tucker Carlson. The latter spent part of Monday’s show re-airing a tired — and also dangerous — line about how wearing masks isn’t about safety during a once-in-a-century public health crisis.

“Not even Tony Fauci still pretends that masks are medically necessary,” Carlson railed. “Instead masks are purely a sign of political obedience, like Kim Il-sung pins in Pyongyang. We wear them because we have to. The only people who wear masks voluntarily outside are zealots and neurotics.”

So far, it was rehashed nonsense. But then he took his evil next level. He claimed people who wear masks in public look down at those who don’t, asking in their minds, “How could they not wear masks?” Carlson decided to flip it.

“That’s the question we should be asking of them in return. The rest of us should be snorting at them first — they’re the aggressors. It’s our job to brush them back and restore the society we were born in,” he said.

But Carlson had a solution, one that could cause actual violence. “So next time you see someone in a mask on the sidewalk or on the bike path, do not hesitate. Ask politely but firmly, ‘Would you please take off your mask? Science shows there is no reason for you to be wearing it. Your mask is making me uncomfortable.’ We should do that and we should keep doing it, until wearing a mask outside is roughly as socially acceptable as lighting a Marlboro in an elevator. It’s repulsive. Don’t do it around other people. That’s the message we should send, because it’s true.”

And yet Tucker still wasn’t done. He upped the ante even further:

“As for forcing children to wear masks outside, that should be illegal,” he said. “Your response when you see children wearing masks as they play should be no different from your response to seeing someone beat a kid in Wal-Mart. Call the police immediately. Contact child protective services. Keep calling until someone arrives. What you’re looking at is abuse, it’s child abuse, and you’re morally obligated to attempt to prevent it. If it’s your own children being abused, then act accordingly. Let’s say your school e-mailed you to announce that every day after lunch, your six-year-old is going to be punched in the face by a teacher. How would you respond to that? That’s precisely how you should respond when they tell you your kids have to wear a masks on the soccer field. That is unacceptable, it is dangerous, and we should act like it, because it is.”

So that’s reckless! And once his words hit social media, they were called for what they were: staggeringly irresponsible.

Also it might not be a good idea to call 911 with fraudulent claims.

Others pointed out that the strange disconnect between gun lovers and mask skeptics.

That said, telling his trigger-happy followers to start fights with people trying to stay safe during a once-in-a-century public health crisis may not end well…for Tucker.

Other people had a burning question to ask him: You vaxxed, tough guy?

The 2021 Academy Awards show ended not with a bang but a whimper. The money seemed to be on the late Chadwick Boseman winning a posthumous Best Actor for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. The producers even made that category the last of the evening, expecting some big close. Instead the trophy went to Anthony Hopkins for The Father, to the shock of many. What’s more, the legendary actor wasn’t even there to accept it. He was at home in Wales, sleeping.

But the show could have at least had him over Zoom, had they been willing to bend their own rules just a bit. According to a morning-after from IndieWire, the producers, among them Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh, were adamant about outlawing Zoom, hoping to increase IRL attendance, and to maintain the show’s cinematic aesthetic — as seen in that doozy of an opening shot. Even when nominees were seen in remote locations, they were at Oscar hubs in big cities, such as London and Dublin and Sydney, Australia.

But Hopkins, 83 and in the middle of a once-in-a-century pandemic, was not about to travel from his home to a big city in the middle of the night, just to give a speech. But as per IndieWire, they tried for a compromise. Hopkins’ reps “pleaded” with the producers to just let him do it over Zoom. But they said no, and so the show ended with a distracted Joaquin Phoenix announcing an AWOL winner then quickly skedaddling, the show abruptly over. Hopkins recorded his acceptance speech in the morning, when he woke up from what was hopefully a very sound sleep.

Would the show have been better had it featured a groggy Hopkins, awoken from his slumber at around 4am Wales time, to give thanks for his second-ever Oscar? We’ll never know, unless we’re still struggling with the pandemic in 2022 and Hopkins gives yet another Academy Award-worthy performance.

DeMarcus Cousins is sticking around in Los Angeles.

On Monday, the Clippers announced that Cousins has signed with the team for the remainder of the 2020-21 season. Cousins, 30, had his second 10-day deal with the Clippers expire on Sunday, meaning the team had to keep him for the rest of the year or let him walk.

Cousins started the year with the Rockets, but was waived in late February. Since signing with the Clippers on April 5, Cousins has averaged 6.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 11.5 minutes per game. He’s exclusively come off the bench, backing up Ivica Zubac at center for the current 3-seeded Clippers.

Keeping Cousins around for the rest of the year is a depth play for Los Angeles. Due to the Achilles injury he suffered with the Pelicans and the ACL tear he suffered with the Warriors, Cousins isn’t the All-NBA caliber player he was with the Kings and pre-injury in New Orleans. As he exists now, he is a big body on the floor to defend, rebound, and score when the ball finds him, but he’s not the offensive hub he was at his peak. Come playoff time, Zubac and Serge Ibaka would seem much more likely to play the bulk of available minutes at center with Cousins serving as a third center as needed, or stepping up in the unfortunate circumstance of an injury.

Sticking with the Clippers does give Cousins a real shot to win a title. Considering Cousins was reportedly unhappy in Houston backing up Christian Wood, it would seem sticking with the Clippers as a backup is all about winning for Cousins.

If you’re one of the millions who grew up watching LeVar Burton celebrate literature and literacy on Reading Rainbow, you know what a national treasure he is. The actor has been a hot topic of conversation on social media since the passing of Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek, as many feel that Burton would be the most fitting host to step into Trebek’s shoes.

LeVar Burton is a natural educator, and his soothing voice makes even the tough lessons easy to swallow. Here’s hoping that’s the case for the folks who constantly decry “cancel culture” when Burton calmly schooled Meghan McCain on why that term is a “misnomer.”

Speaking with Burton on The View, McCain brought up Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ decision to discontinue publishing six books that feature racist imagery. “What do you think of that decision and about the cancel culture surrounding works of art or artists that are controversial?” she asked.

Burton said that he had just done a video voiceover for the Suess Foundation, reminding people that Dr. Seuss is more than just a company that pulled a few books from circulation.

“That man, Theodore Geisel, is responsible for generations of wholesome, healthy, wonderful, imaginative, creative content for children of all ages, and so I think we need to put things in perspective,” he said.

“In terms of cancel culture, I think it’s misnamed,” he said. “It’s a misnomer. I think we have a consequence culture, and that consequences are finally encompassing everybody in the society, whereas they haven’t been, ever, in this country.”

LeVar Burton schools Meghan McCain on ‘cancel culture’

“So I think that there are good signs that are happening in the culture right now,” he added. “And I think it has everything to do with a new awareness on people who were simply unaware of the real nature of life in this country for people who have been othered since this nation began.”

If people whose voices have been silenced or ignored are finally heard, and their concerns are finally taken seriously, and the result of that is things being changed or removed, is that really “cancel culture” or is “good things happening in the culture” as Burton says? While there are legitimate discussions to be had about how to address problematic works, the discussions themselves are a step forward. And the fact that there are finally consequences for language or actions that are hurtful to people who are already marginalized in society is a good thing.

(It’s also a little hard to take people seriously when they complain about ‘cancel culture’ in one breath and then call for boycotts of businesses that defend voting rights, sports that allow players to exercise their first amendment rights, schools and workplaces that teach anti-racism, etc., in the next.)

Burton also spoke with Whoopi Goldberg about what it meant for him to act in Star Trek: The Next Generation after growing up seeing the original television series. The original Star Trek series was groundbreaking for showing one of the first interracial kisses on TV, and its racially diverse cast made a deep impression on a whole generation. Burton said that having Nichelle Nichols, the Black actress who played Uhura, on the bridge of the Enterprise “meant the world” to him.

“What it said was when the future comes, there’s a place for us,” said Burton. “And that’s a huge message to send. I believe it’s difficult, if not impossible, to grow up with a healthy self-image unless you can see yourself in popular culture.”

Oh, and by the way, LeVar Burton WILL be guest hosting during this season of Jeopardy! so dreams really do come true.

Thank you, LeVar Burton, for being a voice of reason and wisdom in a time when we desperately need both.

We can’t say it enough, but the IPA is (and likely always will be) the most popular craft beer variety in the US. Stop into a random craft brewery and you might not find a Kölsch or bock, but you’ll always find one IPA. Usually more. Crisp, slightly floral, and dank-bitter West Coast and hazy, juicy, fruity, New England-style IPAs tend to dominate the market. But don’t sleep on the very bitter, deeply resinous Double IPA, either.

The definition of a double (also known as the “imperial”) IPA is a bit tricky. Exactly which beers fit the bill is open to interpretation. What we do know is that if you crack open a double IPA it will probably fall between 7-9% alcohol by volume and be loaded with vibrant, crisp hops. It will be hoppy in both aroma and flavor and contain considerably more malt than regular IPAs.

This bold, potent beer style is perfectly suited for spring drinking for a variety of reasons. The higher alcohol content keeps you warm on those still-pretty-chilly spring afternoons and evenings and the fresh hop flavor reminds you that summer isn’t far off. Check ten of our favorite Double IPAs below — click the prices if all your scrolling and reading leaves you thirsty!

Russian River Pliny the Elder

ABV: 8%

Average Price: $7.99 for a 16-ounce bottle

The Beer:

One of the most sought-after beers in America, Russian River Pliny the Elder is brewed using Simcoe, CTZ, Centennial, and Amarillo hops. It’s not a beer that spends any time on a shelf and that’s a good thing according to the folks at Russian River. It’s supposed to be enjoyed fresh and is made in very limited quantities so that it sells out quickly.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, you’ll find notes of ripe grapefruit, juicy guava, and resinous pine. The flavor is dominated by sweet malts, wet grass, crisp apple, tangy lime, and just a hint of bitter hops. The finish is hoppy, subtly sweet, and filled with more tropical fruit flavors.

Bottom Line:

This beer is brewed in very limited quantities and it constantly makes lists ranking it as one of the best double IPAs on earth. Because of that, it isn’t easy to find. If you get your hands on a bottle, share it only with your friends who truly appreciate the bold flavor of a double IPA.

Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet

ABV: 8%

Average Price: $11.99 for a six-pack

The Beer:

With a name like Hop Bullet, you can be pretty sure what you’re getting yourself into when you crack open one of these bad boys. This in-your-face IPA gets its flavor from the addition of Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Crystal, Magnum, and Idaho 7 hops as well as extra Magnum hops and lupulin dust (concentrated hop flavor) added into the kettle.

Tasting Notes:

Take a moment to breathe in the heady aromas of lime zest, ripe pineapple, and floral hops. On the palate, you’ll find flavors of juicy grapefruit, sweet malts, tangerine, and vibrant hop oil. It all ends with a subtly bitter, hoppy, citrusy punch that you’ll go back to again and again.

Bottom Line:

Sierra Nevada knows how to make hoppy beers, and this is one of its best. Add to that the fact that you shouldn’t have much difficulty finding this beer and it might just become your go-to spring and summer sipper.

Troegs Nimble Giant

ABV: 9%

Average Price: $14 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

Giants aren’t usually known for being nimble, but this 9% double IPA is. Brewed with Vienna and Pilsner malts as well as Simcoe, Azacca, and brightly floral Mosaic hops, this hop giant manages to have bold, intense hop flavor but remains well-balanced.

Tasting Notes:

Take a moment to nose this bold giant and you’ll find scents of orange blossoms, citrus zest, honey, and floral hops. Sipping this beer reveals notes of grapefruit, juicy mango, orange, subtle sweet malts, and a gentle, piney bitterness. The ending is a great combination of bright citrus and floral hops.

Bottom Line:

Nimble Giant is only released once per year. Every June, fans of this double IPA eagerly await its return. You should too.

Lord Hobo Boom Sauce

ABV: 7.8%

Average Price: $14.99 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

It doesn’t get more descriptive than calling your beer “Boom Sauce.” You know you’re in for a true hop wallop. This complex, yet surprisingly well-rounded double IPA is brewed with Pilsner, Planet, Spelt, and oat malts as well as red wheat, flaked oats, and Warrior, Amarilla, Ella, Falconers Flight, and Mosaic hops.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, you’ll find aromas of ripe mango, sweet berries, tangy grapefruit, and pine. On the palate, you’ll be greeted with notes of juicy guava, pineapple, citrus zest, sweet, caramel malts, and citrus hops. The finish is hoppy, sweet, and refreshing.

Bottom Line:

When it comes to double IPAs, you’d be hard-pressed to find a beer with a more balanced flavor. The various malts are paired perfectly with floral, resinous hops.

Ninkasi Tricerahops

ABV: 8%

Average Price: $10.99 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

First released in 2007, this year-round, dry-hopped double IPA is brewed with 2-Row, Pale, and Carahell malts as well as Cascade, Chinook, Summit, Palisade, and Centennial hops. The result is a beer with balanced, floral, citrus, and piney notes.

Tasting Notes:

Take a sniff and you’ll find aromas of tropical fruits, tangerine, caramel malts, and floral hops. On the sip you’ll find flavors of dried orange peels, juicy grapefruit, sweet malts, and subtly bitter, resinous hops. The ending is fruity, sweet, and filled with piney, subtly bitter hops.

Bottom Line:

This beer is named for one of the least beloved dinosaurs of all time. But this giant, hop beast deserves to be your new favorite double IPA.

Cigar City Florida Man

ABV: 8.5%

Average Price: $12.99 for a six-pack

The Beer:

“Florida Man” is a legendary southern (often mullet-wearing) figure. His name dominates headlines from the panhandle to Miami. This bold, uncompromising double IPA, brewed with Citra, Azacca, El Dorado, and Mandarina Bavarian hops with the addition of peach esters and Canadian honey malt is named in this mythical man’s honor.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, you’ll notice scents of orange peel, grapefruit, and bright, floral notes. Sipping this beer reveals flavors of sourdough bread, honeysuckle, mango, orange, and a nice, subtly bitter kick of hops. It all ends with a duo of sweet fruit and citrus hops flavors.

Bottom Line:

You don’t have to be (or even know) a “Florida man” to enjoy this beer. You also don’t have to ever visit America’s dangling appendage to drink it.

Pipeworks Ninja vs. Unicorn

ABV: 8%

Average Price: $10 for a 22-ounce bottle

The Beer:

We’d all like to see what would transpire in a fight between a unicorn and a ninja, but the odds of seeing this is very unlikely. Instead, we’ll have to settle for a beer brewed in tribute to this mythical battle. This beer was brewed with more than five pounds of hops per barrel. To say it’s an intense hop experience is a total understatement.

Tasting Notes:

Give this beer a nice nosing before taking a sip and you’ll find aromas of citrus zest, bright grapefruit, and resinous hops. Take a sip and you’re sure to bask in notable flavors of fresh lime, orange peels, crisp pears, and subtle, piney hops. The finish is a mixture of sweet, tropical fruit flavors and pleasantly bitter hops.

Bottom Line:

This is an epically hopped beer. It’s also the best pick on this list for fans of citrus-forward double IPAs. The more you drink it, the more you’ll find new, citrus flavors.

Toppling Goliath King Sue

ABV: 7.8%

Average Price: $19.99 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

Toppling Goliath’s King Sue (similar to Pliny the Elder) is one of the most sought-after double IPAs in America. This hazy, juicy, tropical fruit-filled IPA is brewed using solely Citra hops. The result is a refreshing, bold, crushable, juice bomb.

Tasting Notes:

Take a few moments to breathe in the aromas of bright grapefruit, juicy mango, and floral hops. The palate greets you with notes of guava, orange, pineapple, and subtle resin. The ending is memorable with a nice combination of citrus zest and ripe tropical fruits that pair well with the final flourish of spicy hops.

Bottom Line:

If you’re only going to try one double IPA on this list, make it Big Sue. You won’t regret cracking open one of these fruit-forward, hoppy brews.

Melvin 2X4

ABV: 9.9%

Average Price: $13 for a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans

The Beer:

The Wyoming-based brewery is well known for its IPAs and one of its best is its 2X4. This award-winning beer is brewed with Citra, Simcoe, Columbus, and Centennial hops along with light malts. The result is a flavorful IPA filled with pine, citrus, and floral flavors.

Tasting Notes:

On the nose, you’ll find scents of orange creamsicle, caramelized pineapple, and bright pine needles. Sipping this beer reveals flavors of citrus zest, fresh grass, tropical fruits, and subtly bitter hops. The finish is a nice mix of sweet malts and resinous hops.

Bottom Line:

When it comes to double IPAs, this beer ticks all the boxes. It’s a great combination of sweet malts and bold, floral hops.

Maine Beer Company Dinner

ABV: 8.2%

Average Price: $10 for a 22-ounce bottle

The Beer:

We dare you to find a poorly executed beer from the Maine Beer Company. You honestly can’t. Its Dinner is a complex, highly memorable double IPA. This 8.2% brew is made with 2-Row, Carapils, Caramel, 40L, and Dextrose malts as well as Falconer’s Flight, Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic hops.

Tasting Notes:

Before sipping, breathe in the aromas of sweet, caramel malts, fur tips, and citrus. On the palate, you’ll find notes of juicy pineapple, guava, blood orange, sweet malts, and resinous pine. The ending is refreshing and full of grapefruit and pine flavors.

Bottom Line:

If you’re a fan of the Maine Beer Company, you’ve probably already tried its hazy Lunch. Now it’s time for dinner — a treat full of fresh, hoppy, juicy flavors.

Sunday night saw a pretty weird Academy Awards, dominated by some surprise wins (sorry for the anger you’re getting, Anthony Hopkins), some delightful dancing (thanks, Glenn Close), and some weird tweets (wtf, Chuck Schumer?). But there was one award that most people agreed was just: Another Round, the Danish drinking drama starring Mads Mikkelsen, won the trophy for Best International Feature Film. If you didn’t see it because you’re one of the many Americans who don’t like reading subtitles, then first off: calm down, reading subtitles isn’t hard. At the same time, don’t worry, because there’s already an American remake afoot. And it’ll come from Leonardo DiCaprio.

This comes from Deadline, who report that Appian Way, the production company he runs with Jennifer Davisson, are among the winners of a huge bidding war for remake options for the film. Among the people DiCaprio beat out were Jake Gyllenhaal and Elizabeth Banks, though the latter should be fine as she’s already making a movie called Cocaine Bear. Deadline says it’s being designed as a vehicle for DiCaprio himself, which means it won’t bring Mikkelsen, a Hollywood staple himself, back for the American redo. (That said, he’s already pretty busy anyway.)

Should it star DiCaprio, it will find him playing an early middle-aged school teacher who gets out of a rut by, well, drinking. He and his longtime friends hatch a plan to drink just enough that they’re loose and spontaneous but not enough that they’re too drunk. It’s basically the below sketch from Mitchell and Webb Look, but as a serious drama that wins major awards and yet still features a bananas dancing scene.

John Wall’s first season with the Houston Rockets saw him show some promise returning from his Achilles injury, but with a lack of high-end talent around him, Houston has sputtered to the NBA’s worst record at 15-46. With 11 games to go in the season, the Rockets will play out the year without their star guard, as he is dealing with a hamstring injury that will cause him to be shut down for the remainder out of an abundance of caution, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Wall will finish the season averaging 20.6 points, 6.9 assists, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game for Houston on 40.4/31.7/74.9 shooting splits in 40 games.

It is more than understandable that Houston would not risk bringing Wall back too soon from a hamstring, which as we’ve seen with Kevin Durant and James Harden in Brooklyn this year, can be tricky injuries to manage. The Rockets have been eliminated from play-in contention and if it wasn’t already the case, full focus has shifted to the future. Continuing to get reps for guys like Jae’Sean Tate, who has been one of the few bright spots in Houston this season, is now the most important thing as coach Stephen Silas and the front office try to figure out who on the roster has some value for the future as the rebuild continues for the Rockets.

To this day, the identity of Twitter celebrity dril remains unknown. Since 2008, the social media star — with his famous avatar: a seriously blurry picture of a sunglass-clad Jack Nicholson — has regularly filled feeds with absurdist tweets, chock full of deliberate misspellings, inspired non sequiturs, and other stuff that’s difficult to explain to people who aren’t on Twitter. But though he’s kept his real self private (even as he’s announced a video game), you may be able to see him as the villain — or something — in a what may turn into a full-blown Adult Swim Show.

It’s called VIRTUAL PRISON, and it’s made by dril, Derek Estevez-Olsen, and Pierce Campion. So far it’s just a pilot, and it’s bananas. Estevez-Olsen plays a man who awakens on a low-res computerized island, where a scientist, played by Campion, informs him he’s in a computerized prison, perhaps for life. Our hero is rescued, of sorts, by a masked, motorcycle-riding ruffian named Gomer, played by dril, both his face and his voice obscured, setting the scene for a thrilling, if weird, prison escape.

So far this is all the VIRTUAL PRISON that exists. It has not yet been picked up by Adult Swim, and according to Vice, to do so requires two things: a ton of people need to comment on the pilot’s YouTube page (which one can view above) or the three creators need to convince top brass that there’s more to it than this pilot — which may be tougher than it seems since none of the three have traditional comedy writing or performance backgrounds.

This isn’t the first dril has skulked outside the confines of Twitter. Starting in 2019, he and Estevez-Olsen collaborated on TruthPoint: Dark Web Rising, a parody of InfoWars, with dril decked out in a simulacrum of his Jack Nicholson avatar. If VIRTUAL PRISON is anything like that — or even like his tweets — then TV may never be the same.

You can watch the pilot in the video above (and if you enjoy it, please visit its YouTube page and leave a comment).

Earlier today, Insomniac Games released an action-packed trailer for their upcoming PlayStation 5 exclusive Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart. The trailer offered fans an extended look at the new title’s gameplay and photo mode, as well as formally introduced us to Rivet, a female Lombax from an alternate dimension where Dr. Nefarious — the series’ villain — reigns as emperor.

From Playstation’s blog:

Yes! We finally revealed her name… you guessed it! Right?! Rivet is a Lombax resistance fighter from another dimension, where the evil Emperor Nefarious hunts all those who oppose him. You saw brand-new locations like Nefarious City, and alternate-dimension twists on old favorites like Sargasso and Torren IV along with a sneak-peak at some new weapons and gameplay mechanics.

The song we chose for the trailer has special meaning beyond just being a great, exciting track. It is from the (Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame nominated) band DEVO, a personal favorite of mine, but, some would say more importantly, the band that the incomparable Mark Mothersbaugh co-founded. I’m excited to announce that Mark is the Composer of the Rift Apart soundtrack! Beyond his work in DEVO, you’ve likely heard his compositions across the years whether it was in the original three Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter games, as well as animated series like Rugrats, and the blockbuster film: Thor Ragnarok. We are so thrilled to be collaborating with Mark and cannot wait for you to hear the incredible score he’s come up with.

Rivet’s full reveal comes nearly a year after the game’s announcement trailer last summer, which left fans speculating just who the new character could be — especially since the Lombax species are very few and very far between in the series. While Rivet seems to play similarly to the series’ main protagonist, Ratchet, in many regards, it appears Insomniac is using some of what they learned working on the PlayStation Spider-Man games, incorporating similar swinging movements into her move set. It was also later announced Jennifer Hale, a voice actress known for her work in Mass Effect, Metal Gear Solid, BioShock Infinite, Metroid Prime, and Overwatch, will be voicing the game’s newest addition.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart is available for preorder now, and will be released for PlayStation 5 exclusively on June 11.

When the documentary series Framing Britney Spears bowed on HBO back in February, it caused an avalanche of support to come the singer’s way. Long a target of condescending press coverage — not to mention still legally under the control of her domineering father — Spears found the public finally rallying to her side, hoping to correct years of unfair coverage. Now the team behind the doc look to be trying to do for Janet Jackson what they did for Britney.

According to US Weekly, Left/Right TV, who produced the Spears doc, are at work on a movie about the infamous halftime show at Super Bowl XXXVIII, in 2004. That’s the one where a performance by Jackson and Justin Timberlake resulted in a “wardrobe malfunction,” in which the latter ripped off part of her costume, exposing one of her breasts for half a second. The incident led to a massive fallout. The FCC tried, and failed, to fine CBS for over half a billion dollars, while some accused the two of staging it, with Jackson receiving more vitriol than Timberlake.

Neither Jackson nor Timberlake are involved in the movie, though the former is working on a documentary about her own career to coincide with the forthcoming 40th anniversary of her debut album, Janet Jackson. Timberlake, meanwhile, has come under fire over the last couple years, as the public has begun viewing his treatment of both Jackson and Spears, who he once dated, with a more critical eye. Indeed, after Framing Britney Spears debuted, he issued a formal apology to both parties.

“I specifically want to apologize to Britney Spears and Janet Jackson both individually, because I care for and respect these women and I know I failed,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Because of my ignorance, I didn’t recognize it for all that it was while it was happening in my own life but I do not want to ever benefit from others being pulled down again.”
