With his oaky baritone, Givēon often sounds like he teleported to us from the 1970s. In the rapid-fire internet age, his love songs — frequently lost-love songs — are unhurried. At his best, he’s like a barrel-­aged cognac — warm, earthy, and mature. Still, when he rose to prominence at around the age of 25 about five years ago, in a landscape where more modern, edgy alternative R&b dominated, he allowed his steady, soulful production to ride on top of subtle rap drums; across his debut EP, Take Time, and album,...

Early in our Zoom interview, which Givēon takes from a moving vehicle, I ask him point-blank: “Who hurt you?” He’s on his way to California’s Lucerne Valley desert to perform songs from his excellent sophomore album, Beloved. Set on a reflective stage in the sand for a Spotify exclusive, he’ll sing over a string section with violin and cello, three horns, two background singers, drums, guitar, bass, and keyboard — similar to how the album itself was made. With this rich backdrop, Beloved is full of next-generation, old-school heartbreak,...

Did the new Black Mirror episode mortify fans?(Photo Credit –Netflix)

Black Mirror’s latest season has landed like a punch to the gut, leaving longtime fans rattled and in some cases, walking away from Netflix altogether. With the arrival of the seventh season’s opening episode, ‘Common People,’ the internet lit up but not with the usual hype and analysis. Instead, it sparked outrage, discomfort, and a wave of subscription cancellations.

A Life-Saving Subscription with a Deadly Price

At the center of this techno-nightmare are Chris O’Dowd and Rashida Jones, playing Mike and Amanda, a couple thrust into emotional and financial chaos. The story kicks off when Amanda is hit with a terminal brain tumor diagnosis and in a desperate attempt to keep her alive, they turn to a sleek, futuristic company named Rivermind.

The promise is seductive, an experimental treatment that could save her life but it’s...

The Writers Guild Of America has advised members not to work on an upcoming drama about a deadly 1982 California avalanche that Martin Scorsese will produce because of the involvement of fellow producer Randall Emmett.

Emmet is the founder and managing member of Convergence Entertainment Group, which has been on the WGA Strike/Unfair List since 2020 and is not a signatory to the Guild’s collective bargaining agreement or Mba.

As such the Guild has reminded members not to write on the feature, Wall Of White, which was announced last month. The project is based on the 2021 documentary Buried: The 1982 Alpine...

Exclusive: Following Neon’s acquisition of his SXSW title Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Matt Johnson is in pole position to direct the first film out of the live-action Magic: The Gathering universe being assembled by Legendary Entertainment and Hasbro Entertainment, sources tell Deadline.

The studios declined to comment. We hear they’ve not yet made a formal offer to Johnson, as it’s very early days here, but he is the choice to direct. No word yet on the take on the material, nor who will be scripting. Legendary and Hasbro announced their intention to launch a Magic film and TV universe, kicking off with a feature project, in February.

Marking Hasbro’s first $1 billion brand, Magic: The Gathering is recognized as the world’s first trading card game, having connected with more than 50 million fans of all ages worldwide since 1993. In the game, players take on the role of planeswalkers,...

Exclusive: An Icelandic-Romanian comedy-drama series is set to launch internationally, as European countries continue to combine to get production rolling.

Hot Stuff comes from Reykjavik-based Glassriver and Romania’s Idea Film and is for Icelandic broadcaster SÝN’s Channel 2 (Stöð 2). Paris-based Oble has taken international distribution rights and will begin shopping the show.

The co-production has that distinctly European co-production flavor that underpinned Series Mania a few weeks back. With U.S. money seemingly gone from Euro production, countries are assemblies in intriguing ways to get productions lensing, making an Icelandic-Romania co-pro much more likely. Last month, we revealed details on Series Mania series Torna a Surriento, an Finnish-Italian drama series that Glassriver is working on with Finland’s Whatevergroup Italy’s Viola Films and Norway’s Rein Film.

Magnús Leifsson (Dovetail) is the director on Hot Staff, and Ragnar Bragson is the creator and co-writer. Known for The Shift TV series trilogy,...

Exclusive: The Valhalla Murders duo Thordur Palsson and Óttar Nordfjord are creating an Icelandic-Finnish climate disaster miniseries titled Avalanche.

Forged for Iceland’s Síminn and rolling cameras next week, Avalanche stars Elín Hall (Let Me Fall) as Freyja, a meteorologist who returns to her hometown to warn the villagers of an imminent catastrophe. Casting striking similarities between fictional tragic events and today’s climate crisis, the series is aiming to highlight the urgency of heeding scientific warnings.

The series is another example of Scandi outfits coming together to create TV, with Iceland’s Glassriver co-producing with Finland’s Whatevergroup, while Ginny & Georgia outfit Dynamic Television is selling worldwide. Palsson is directing and Nordfjord is writing. The pair were behind The Valhalla Murders, the RÚV police procedural that was picked up by Netflix several years back. Margrét Örnólfsdóttir is co-writer of Avalanche.

Palsson said: “Bringing Avalanche to life is both a creative challenge and a responsibility.

Kai Cenat made a flashy entrance on WWE Raw, strutting out to his own Bust Down Rollie Avalanche. So what is going on? Many are speculating it might be his turn to put on a show. As he has just tossed out a challenge to fellow Twitch star IShowSpeed, teasing a possible showdown.

Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, and Steve Vai have announced the G3 Reunion Live album, arriving January 31st. The virtuoso guitarists’ extended jam on Cream‘s “Crossroads” can be streamed now.

The live album was captured during the trio’s performance at the The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles earlier this year as part of the 2024 G3 reunion tour.

Arriving on 4-lp and 2-cd, the live album recreates the actual format of the G3 concerts: each guitarist performing a distinct set before the three virtuosos take the stage together for an all-out jam session.

The first LP features a full set from Vai; the second LP belongs to Eric Johnson; the third LP is Satriani; and the fourth LP (on splatter vinyl) houses the jam session — a medley of “Crossroads,” Jimi Hendrix’s “Spanish Castle Magic,” and a closing rendition of Steppenwolf’s “Born to Be Wild.”

As the King of the Monsters, Godzilla has proven himself to be extremely powerful, but there have been times when the kaiju has been defeated by humans in the Godzilla movies. Godzilla originally debuted in the 1954 Japanese movie, Godzilla, and has since become a steadfast figure in pop culture, with countless references in international media. The kaiju has appeared in an impressive 38 movies, with each Godzilla movie presenting a different version of the monster throughout its many eras, and the monster has battled multiple foes over the years.

From Ghidorah to Mechagodzilla, Godzilla has won many fights in his movies and has an impressive 42 wins against other kaiju throughout his movies. However, Godzilla has also fought with humans in a number of films, often attacking Japans cities and leaving them devastated. While most would expect the giant monster to prevail every time against such a small enemy, surprisingly, humans have...

Hogwarts Legacy may have subtly set itself up for a trilogy with one strange plot detail. Hogwarts Legacy is one of the biggest video games of the generation, and a sequel has already been confirmed as a priority for Warner Brothers.

There's no word on when exactly it will be released or what it will even look like, but it will probably be a few years before anything official materializes. At the very least, it seems as though the first Hogwarts Legacy may have some subtle clues to the direction of a sequel.

Hogwarts Fan Has A Theory On Year Five Perhaps A Trilogy Was Planned

Over on Reddit, user potter101833 noted that there's something peculiar about where Hogwarts Legacy begins its story. Unlike Harry Potter, Hogwarts Legacy chooses to start its protagonist at the wizarding school in year five, over halfway through a student's total tenure at Hogwarts. While...

A sequel to Hogwarts Legacy may be in active development, as suggested by a recent job listing by Avalanche Software. The best-selling game of 2023, Hogwarts Legacy, is rumored to have a sequel in the works despite mixed critical reviews. Despite controversies surrounding J.K. Rowling, the success of Hogwarts Legacy suggests a sequel is likely in the next few years.

If a recent job listing is to be believed, a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is in active development seemingly confirming rumors that have swirled for months. 2023 proved to be a massive year for video games with titans like Baldur's Gate 3 and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom raking in awards for their innovative systems and immersive designs. Having said that, the year's best-selling game didn't even earn a nomination for Game of the Year but that's not stopping plans for a sequel.

Warning! Contains spoilers for Sweet Tooth season 3.

The upbeat soundtrack of Sweet Tooth season 3 sets an optimistic tone despite darker themes. The show softens darker elements of the original story to remain accessible to wider audiences. Bright visuals and heartwarming storytelling maintain the show's uplifting spirit even in dark times.

While walking through Gus and Big Man's final adventure to the Great North, Sweet Tooth season 3 features a range of songs that add more intensity to the show's drama and action. Based on Jeff Lemire's comic book series of the same name, Netflix's Sweet Tooth presents an uplifting fantasy drama that draws on the anxieties of the real-world pandemic but balances them themes with themes of hope and resilience. Unlike its predecessors, Sweet Tooth season 3 delves deeper into slightly darker narrative territory but maintains its family-friendly tone.

Robert Kirkman’s Invincible Season 2 comes to a fitting conclusion with the episode, I Thought You Were Stronger. Despite frustrating fans with the long delays in airing episodes, the second season has lived up to the critically acclaimed first season. The series never hesitated to shock the audience with its R-rated violence and the second season was no exception with its jaw-dropping moments and shocking deaths.

Protorelic quests in FF7 Rebirth have unique challenges and rewards, but most don't add much to the story. Cosmo Canyon's quest stands out by delving into emotional backstories of Avalanche members. The Cosmo Canyon Protorelic quest should be a model for side quest storytelling in the future.

Protorelic quests might not seem like critical content to play in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, but there's one in particular that's well worth completing. As unique objectives that make up a part of the World Intel checklists found throughout the game, Protorelic quests task Cloud and company with tracking down pieces of ancient armor. Although this can lead to unlocking a powerful summon and gear late in the game, anyone uninterested in committing to the long haul could easily decide to ignore all the quests in favor of focusing on the main story.

Unlike most aspects of World Intel, Protorelic quests vary wildly from region to region.

Avril Lavigne will be celebrating her music career during her tour this summer.

Just a few weeks before the summer season starts, Lavigne will begin the greatest hits tour in her home country on May 22. She’ll only be in North America for a short while before she heads to Europe after her Phoenix tour, though.

While in Europe, she’ll make stops in countries like Germany, Denmark, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, among others. After her time in Europe, she is set to return to North America in August and will be staying on the continent until the end of her tour in September.

“Tour dates for 2024 baby!,” Lavigne wrote in her announcement. “I’ll be doing the Greatest Hits from all my albums and along with some of your favorites, perhaps some special requests? And of course all of my friends are joining me!!!”

The friends joining Lavigne on the upcoming tour,...

This article contains spoilers for "Invincible."

The initial premise of "Invincible" is what it would be like to be Superman's son and follow in your dad's footsteps. Mark Grayson/Invincible (Steven Yeun) is the son of Nolan Grayson/Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), Earth's greatest superhero and visitor from the planet Viltrum. Unfortunately, Viltrum is a fascist empire and Nolan isn't as benevolent as he appears.

"Invincible" season 1 ended with a clash between father and son. Nolan beat Mark to a pulp but flew off in grief after realizing how human he'd become. A question lingering at the season's end was when Omni-Man would return — pretty soon, it turned out.

"Invincible" season 2, episode 3, "This Missive, This Machination!" features Mark called to the alien planet Thraxa; the cliffhanger ending is him coming face to face with the planet's ruler, Nolan. Episode 4, "It's Been A While," opens with a flashback montage (scored to a...

Final Fantasy 7 Remake game director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed a secret about the game. The hidden detail is actually a special cameo appearance. The cameo in Final Fantasy 7 Remake is connected to Hamaguchi himself.

A long-hidden detail in Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been commented on by the game director, revealing an adorable secret. The first entry in the remake series was released back in early 2020 and covered the first portion of the game, set entirely within the city of Midgar. As such, the game’s final moments see the group led by Cloud Strife leaving Midgar after a gruesome and fate-changing fight with Sephiroth.

The next game in the series will be Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and will follow up immediately after the group’s departure from the city. With it, players will explore a new open-world map, which contains many areas from the classic 1997 title, such as Cosmo Canyon, Fort Condor,...

Guitar virtuoso Sophie Lloyd, known for her huge social media presence and as a member of Machine Gun Kelly’s touring band, will release her debut solo album, Imposter Syndrome, on November 10th. In advance of the LP, Lloyd has unveiled the music video for the title track, which is a rousing metal anthem featuring vocals and lyrics from Lzzy Hale of Halestorm.

The music video features Lloyd showing off her intense guitar chops, while Hale belts out vocals in a fiery presence.

“Working with Lzzy was honestly a dream come true for me,” Lloyd said in a statement. “I’ve been a fan of hers for years growing up, and when I decided to do a collaborative album, her name was the first one that came to mind. She did such an incredible job at taking such a personal thing and making a song that conveys all the emotion I have felt for years.

Gore Verbinski’s The Ring led the first wave of early 2000s horror remakes that partially defined the era’s landscape alongside Saw torture-porners and other reactionary post-9/11 subgenres. Granted, remakes have always been a foundational pillar that keeps horror reinventing itself decade after decade — but the 2000s were different. Production companies like Platinum Dunes and Dark Castle Entertainment fixated on updating horror favorites from iconic slashers to Vincent Price oldies, banking on nostalgia as an added profitability measure. It’s curious though, because 2003’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and others get referenced when conversations think back to what started The Great 2000s Remake Avalanche — The Ring somewhat forgotten in these terms.

That could be because The Ring is based on Hideo Nakata’s Japanese adaptation Ringu (aka Ring), an international ghost story less popular with domestic audiences whose first introduction to Koji Suzuki’s 1991 novel was Verbinski’s Americanization.

Some gaming fans were surprised to hear curse words in Final Fantasy 16, finding it off-putting for a mainline entry in a series that was previously open to an all-ages audience, but the strong language in FF16 is about much more than simple shock value. As the first M-Rated mainline Final Fantasy, the game aimed to deal with heavy subject matter, including slavery and genocide. Characters do not react like fantasy genre archetypes, but as real people would. Times of overwhelming stress, fear, and anger compel many FF16 characters to utter expletives, and this only adds to the impact of the game’s often grim story.

[Warning: This article contains story spoilers for Final Fantasy 16.]

In an early Final Fantasy 16 boss fight that many players experienced in the brutal FF16 demo, a goblin commander calls upon a large troll-like creature called a Gigas for reinforcement, which slams through the walls of a crumbling structure. Clive’s ally Wade instinctively responds with “shit,...

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, often abbreviated as FF7 Rebirth, has had its fair share of details revealed, even if the game is expected to only arrive in 2024. So far, as was shown by the promotional material, the game will pick up immediately where the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy 7 Remake stopped, showing the group of heroes led by Cloud leaving Midgar in search of answers to defeating Sephiroth. Although he was constantly haunting in the first game in the remake trilogy, it seems like Sephiroth’s presence in FF7 Rebirth will be expanded even further.

Unlike the Final Fantasy 7 game from 1997, however, it is expected that a few plot details in FF7 Rebirth are altered, as the remake trilogy seems to be playing with the concept of a remake and pointing toward multiple timelines of existence. It is currently uncertain if the events of the original game will play out exactly...

The third and final act of Smashing Pumpkins’ Atum, the “rock opera” Billy Corgan wrote as a follow-up to the iconic albums Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness and Machina/The Machines of God, has arrived. Get melodramatic and listen to the complete project below.

Pronounced “autumn,” Smashing Pumpkins’ 12th album marks another lengthy addition to the band’s catalog. The 33-track LP was released in three parts, with Act 1 arriving in November and Act 2 following in January. Now that Act 3 has hit streaming services, you can also order a boxset that features 10 more bonus tracks.

In a past interview with Kerrang!, Corgan said the album goes in “a million different directions. I’d say about a third of the record is heavy. A third is kind of more similar to what we’ve been doing recently, and I don’t know what the other third would be called. I...

The crypto sector has been abuzz with discussions about two blockchain networks – Avalanche (Avax) and Tron (Trx). These platforms offer distinct advantages to their users, and hence, have gained considerable popularity among crypto investors looking to hold digital assets.

The advent of blockchain technology has given birth to Web3, an advanced ecosystem that is decentralized in nature. With the rise of smart contracts, Chainlink has managed to become a leader in the field. However, the emergence of newer altcoins, such as Avalanche, has given rise to competition and challenged Chainlink’s dominance.

Big Eyes Coin (Big) is also another emerging player that is introducing innovative features and tools to showcase its potential and compete with established players. As the Web3 ecosystem evolves, it will be interesting to see how these players fare and which ones emerge as top performers in the decentralised space.

Chainlink Faces Competition from Avalanche and Big Eyes Coin in the Web3 Space

Shuichi dreams of becoming a novelist, but he is so busy with his daily work that he has given up on his dream. Rina had been fired from several part-time jobs due to her shy personality, and is now unemployed and dependent on Shuichi. One day, Shuichi meets Kyoko Aizawa, his senior in high school and an editor at a major publishing company. While talking with her about the past, Shuichi lies to her that he is still writing novels, and within a short period of one month, he enters a contest held by Kyoko’s publishing company aiming for a newcomer award. In the meantime, Shuichi’s colleague at his publishing company quits and Shuichi takes over the assignment of Yoichi Nishikawa (Junpei Yasui), a successful commentator.

Born Jerry Rubenstein on November 12, 1932, in Chelsea, Ma, Douglas launched his acting career upon graduating from Brandeis University, studying acting with Uta Hagen in New York and Jeff Corey in Los Angeles.

He joined the cast of The Young and the Restless in March 1982 as John Abbott, patriarch of the Abbott family and wealthy chairman of Jabot Cosmetics. When viewers first met him, he was a single father helping children Jack, Ashley and Traci navigate adulthood.

In later years, John Abbott wed Jill Foster and they had a son, Billy. John also had several romantic reunions with estranged ex-wife, Dina Mergeron.

The Boy Who Lived is changing his U.S. streaming address again.

All eight original “Harry Potter” films from Warner Bros. are returning to HBO Max next month, after spending a little less than a year on NBCUniversal’s Peacock.

Starting Sept. 1, the eight wizarding films based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling novels will be available on HBO Max: “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” Parts 1 and 2.

When HBO Max launched in May 2020, it included the octet of “Harry Potter” movies — but that was only a three-month carve-out on streaming rights the studio had sold to NBCU. In October 2020, Peacock began streaming the “Harry Potter” movies; now WarnerMedia...

Migos appeared on a new edition of NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert series to showcase three songs from their recent album Culture III.

Appearing from the Gallery Dept. in Los Angeles with a backing band, the group performed “Avalanche, “Straightenin” and “Birthday.” At the end of the set, Quavo confirmed, “You rockin’ with the greatest group of all time.”

Culture III dropped back in June. The long-awaited, 19-song album features guest appearances from Drake, Cardi B, Justin Bieber, Future, NBA YoungBoy, and Polo G. Juice Wrld and Pop Smoke both appear posthumously.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have announced B-Sides & Rarities Part II, a second collection of rare and unreleased tracks that the group recorded over the past decade and a half.

The band released their first B-Sides & Rarities compilation in 2005. Since then, he and the Bad Seeds have recorded two more discs’ worth of B-sides and rarities, both released and unheard.

In total, the 27-song B-Sides & Rarities Part II boasts 19 unreleased tracks — compiled by Cave and Bad Seeds member Warren Ellis — including the first recordings of album cuts like “Skeleton Tree,...

Outside of the Limited Series categories, there appear to be few close races this Emmy season. One exception is Best Actress, where frontrunner “The Crown’s” Emma Corrin faces a potentially historic win from “Pose’s” M.J. Rodriguez. With voting set to begin on Thursday, it’s no surprise that Netflix wants to remind viewers of Corrin’s acclaimed performance as the late Princess Diana.

In the third episode of season four, “Avalanche,” Diana gives Prince Charles (Josh O’Connor) a videotape of her singing “All I Ask of You” from the musical “Phantom of the Opera” as a wedding gift.

Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”) and Gillian Anderson (“The Crown”) sat down for a virtual chat for Variety‘s Actors on Actors. For more, click here.

When Gillian Anderson and Elisabeth Moss met virtually to talk about their respective roles as Margaret Thatcher on Netflix’s “The Crown” and June Osborne on Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” they discussed the benefits of being on long-running television shows, directing and characters they’d like to play again. Anderson detailed how she’d built Thatcher from the inside out, and Moss mused about how “Handmaid’s” might feel different in the Biden era.

And they discovered that they both had come of age as young actors — and young women — between the ages of 23 and 32 on “The X-Files” (Anderson) and “Mad Men” (Moss), and were delighted by the coincidence.

Digital disruption has created a music business that’s sustained by saturation, producing a culture of abundance blurring into excess. Lengthy albums capitalize on this wholesale demand for more by bloating tracklists, which in turn jacks up streaming numbers. At first glance, Culture III, the latest 19-track offering from superstar rap group Migos, appears to be another overlong playlist disguised as a studio album, much like their underwhelming 2018 release Culture II.

Culture III is not Culture II, though. It’s shorter by 30 minutes, with six fewer songs. But what truly distinguishes the two is mindfulness.

Migos appeared on The Tonight Show to perform a new track, “Avalanche.” The song is the latest single from the Atlanta trio’s forthcoming new album Culture III and features a reference to the Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone.”

For the performance, the rap group donned matching suits, sunglasses, and fedoras, and appeared with their live band. It has a slick, throwback vibe, complete with a horn section.

Culture III drops Friday, June 11th. The long-awaited, 19-song album features guest appearances from Drake, Cardi B, Justin Bieber, Future, Pop Smoke,...

Migos have shared the tracklist for their upcoming album, Culture III, which arrives on Friday. Drake, Cardi B, and Justin Bieber are among the guests featured on the trio’s long-teased album.

The 19-song set also includes collaborations with Future, Pop Smoke, Juice Wrld, NBA YoungBoy, and Polo G. Last month, Migos dropped their first single of the year, “Straightenin,” which appears on Culture III. Earlier this year, Quavo, Takeoff and Offset confirmed the follow up to 2018’s Culture II was soon on its way in an Instagram video detailing...

Alex Somers has revealed two solo debut albums — Siblings and Siblings 2 — out March 19th via Krunk.

Ahead of the release, the producer and Jónsi collaborator dropped lead singles from each LP, “Deathbed” and “Sooner.” The tracks are both instrumental, with “Deathbed” containing deep, billowing exhales and “Sooner” taking a lighter cinematic approach.

While making both LPs, Somers was particularly inspired by his score for the 2016 documentary Dawson City: Frozen in Time. “It’s such a poetic story,” he said in a statement “And it’s so in sync with how...

From upside down PlayStation 5s to the global dominance of “Genshin Impact” and the biffed launch of “Cyberpunk 2077,” the year in video games has been as topsy-turvy as the year in, well, every other regard. But for all of the industry’s unpredictability, games kept delivering the goods no matter how grim things got out there; “Hades” would’ve been great even if didn’t feel so close to home, and the “Demon’s Souls” remake would’ve sold us on the promise of the next generation even if the bleak world of Boletaria didn’t unexpectedly turn into an oasis, but even the darkest games gave players a cathartic degree of control at a time when a sense of helplessness became a pandemic unto itself.

By the time Sony and Microsoft released their new consoles in November, even thin launch day lineups, unaffordable prices, and severe product shortages couldn...
