Keke Palmer is addressing what motivated her and her team to pull the podcast interview with Jonathan Majors following public outcry.

While promoting Magazine Dreams, Majors was set to appear in an April episode of Palmer’s podcast Baby, This Is Keke Palmer, but the interview was ultimately pulled.

“When I’m doing my hosting, I’m here to be unbiased. Everybody that sits in your chair, you don’t agree with everything they did, you don’t love everything, but you gotta have the conversation,” Palmer said on The Breakfast Club recently. “You have to set the stage for them to speak and for people to watch and take what they wanna take from it, so that’s why I was open and excited to do the interview.”

The One of Them Days star said that “ultimately, with my partners, it was just decided — they saw the reaction that people felt it was insensitive,...

Keke Palmer recently appeared on “The Breakfast Club” (via Entertainment Weekly) and explained why her podcast interview with Jonathan Majors was pulled before its online release. Majors was set to appear on an April episode of “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” during his press tour for “Magazine Dreams.” The episode never dropped and Palmer put out an interview with rapper Kash Doll in its place, resulting in a lot of questions from fans.

“Obviously, Meagan is my girl,” Palmer said about Meagan Good, who married Majors this year. “I’ve grown up loving her. She’s honestly a mentor to me and a representation for all of us young Black women. I mean, I was happy for her to get married. I was excited to have the conversation.”

“I’m here to be unbiased,” Palmer continued. “You don’t agree with everything they did, you don’t love everything, but...

In the wake of Netflix acquiring It’s What’s Inside out of Sundance 2024, another hot genre movie that world premiered at Sundance has found itself a distribution home this week.

Steven Soderbergh’s ghost story Presence has been acquired by Neon, with Deadline first reporting the news. The site notes, “I haven’t got a deal number to share, but there were about 10 bidders so it’s a healthy sum for a thriller that has gotten uniformly strong reviews at the festival.”

One of those strong reviews came from Meagan Navarro right here on Bloody Disgusting, who awarded Presence 4 stars out of a possible 5 stars in her review published over the weekend.

Meagan raves, “Unsane director Steven Soderbergh reunites with Kimi screenwriter David Koepp (Stir of Echoes) to give an innovative new spin on the quintessential ghost story. Presence frames its haunted events entirely from the perspective of its ghost.

Fresh off the film’s premiere at Sundance, Netflix has opened up their check book and shelled out a whopping $17 million to acquire worldwide rights to horror movie It’s What’s Inside.

The news was first reported by Deadline this afternoon.

In director Greg Jardin’s It’s What’s Inside, “A pre-wedding party descends into an existential nightmare when an estranged friend shows up with a mysterious suitcase.”

Brittany O’Grady, James Morosini, Alycia Debnam-Carey, Gavin Leatherwood, Reina Hardesty, and Nina Bloomgarden star in the genre-bending movie.

Meagan Navarro writes in her Sundance review for Bd, “Its irreverent tone and Jardin’s visual eye ensure a highly entertaining time, though it becomes prone to tangled knots.”

“The director pulls from his music video background to ensure a vivacious, eye-catching feature that dazzles and lures you further into the tangled abyss, even as many of its central players frustrate,” Meagan continues. “Even still, It...

Director Scott Derrickson’s Joe Hill adaptation The Black Phone was a hit in theaters last year, so it comes as no big surprise that The Black Phone 2 has officially been confirmed.

Universal and Blumhouse will release The Black Phone 2 on June 27, 2025!

No word yet on whether or not Derrickson will return to direct. Stay tuned.

Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke (Sinister, Boyhood, Training Day), in the most disturbing role of his career, starred in the suspenseful thriller The Black Phone, which is based on the short story by Joe Hill. The film came from Blumhouse and director Scott Derrickson, who brought us Sinister and Doctor Strange.

From producer Jason Blum, and written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill (Sinister, Dr. Strange) with Derrickson directing, The Black Phone stars Ethan Hawke, Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan, The House That Jack Built, Lost), James Ransone (It Chapter Two, Generation Kill), Mason Thames (For All Mankind,...

Bram Stoker Award-Winning author Adam Cesare released his original slasher novel Clown in a Cornfield in 2020, which Bloody Disgusting’s own Meagan Navarro called “a great retro slasher in the guise of Young Adult horror.” Meagan added, “Cesare applies an ’80s style slasher to a modern setting, complete with social relevancy, making the small town setting just as eerie as its homicidal, creepy clown. In other words, this author doesn’t water the horror down for its Young Adult demographic, making it an enjoyable read for any horror fan.”

Sequel novel Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives followed one year later, and Cesare is back Next Year with third installment Clown in a Cornfield 3: The Church of Frendo!

HarperCollins will release Clown in a Cornfield 3: The Church of Frendo on August 20, 2024, and Bloody Disgusting is exclusively debuting the book’s cover art this afternoon.

New developments continue to unfold amid Jonathan Majors's assault and harassment charges. The actor's case is officially going to trial months after he was arrested on March 25 in New York City following an alleged domestic dispute. A statement from the Manhattan District Attorney sent to Popsugar on March 28 revealed that the actor was arraigned the following day on misdemeanor charges including assault and aggravated harassment of an unnamed woman. In addition to laying out the charges, the Manhattan Da's office stated that an NYC judge had released Majors from custody on his own recognizance and granted him a limited order of protection, per Variety.

In another statement sent to Popsugar on March 28, Majors's attorney Priya Chaudhry alleged that the actor was the one who had placed the 911 call that led to his arrest. "To set the record straight: As confirmed by one of the woman's own written statements disavowing her allegations,...

Now that Jake, Devon and Lexy are headed to the White House, he plans on adding them to his body count.

Back in 2018, The Meg was a big time success at the box office, debuting to $45 million here in the United States and going on to gobble up $530 million worldwide. It’s no surprise that Warner Bros. is back at it with Meg 2: The Trench, now playing in theaters worldwide.

How is the shark attack sequel performing at the box office? Meg 2: The Trench debuted to $30 million here in the United States over the weekend, $15 million less than the previous movie opened to back in 2018. But Warner Bros. is no doubt counting on Meg 2 making the bulk of its money internationally; worldwide, the film has already scared up $142 million.

A good chunk of that worldwide total so far is coming out of China.

Scott Mendelson notes, “The Meg 2 opened with $53 million in China, just above the $50 million debut of The Meg in 2018. It’s only the third Hollywood...
