When the engines of the very first Fast & Furious movie revved up in the summer of 2001, it didn’t seem like the soon-to-be franchise would have enough road to continue. Yet, here we are nine more chapters and a spinoff later realizing there’s still plenty of gas in the Fast tank. Across these movies, a […]
Throughout this week, we have been honoring the current landscape of hip-hop media. We presented our power ranking of 25 hip-hop media personalities from podcasters to Twitch streamers that proves how much the rad media industry has boomed since the era when commentary was dominated by magazine writers and radio hosts. We’ve honed in on […]
Burd, who not only stars in the show but is also the creator, finds it a bit harder to multitask. The cycle of making a TV show can be taxing for those involved at every level like he is. Dave can be so all-consuming that it has left his fans waiting eight years for a […]
There are worse ways to go out than being struck by distinctly Texan lightning at a Lil Yachty show. As we took shelter from the storm beneath a giant water slide, I made peace with this possibility, confident that someone, somewhere could whip up a fine 200 words or so about it as part of their […]
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is the third Ant-Man movie, the 31st movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the first film of Phase 5. It introduces Kang the Conqueror, a warlord with designs on interdimensional destruction. It sets the stage for a multi-film plot arc, which will culminate with two new Avengers films. So […]

So imagine my surprise when I came to the realization earlier this week that I’d not only be speaking with Pete, but I’d have a brand of decidedly […]
What’s your favorite movie? Not the one you keep tucked in your back pocket to whip out in ill-advised battles of impressiveness, or increasingly antiquated posturing, but your favorite movie. The ones that crawl into our veins and burrow themselves deep into our bones the first time we see them. And the more we watch, […]
The 80th Golden Globe Awards are going down on Tuesday, Jan. 10. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has tapped Jerrod Carmichael to host the show following last year’s controversy. A lack of diversity among voters and nominees led to various boycotts by actors and media companies alike. A multi-month, publicly-driven campaign to diversify the HFPA proved “too […]
There’s been a lot of talk lately about how pop stars are shifting to dance music and songs that provide escape. And—although some of these verses and songs host that energy, if you still want to stay at home, put on a pair of headphones, and dissect bars, don’t worry; this year gifted us a lot […]
For many, life is like a suspended circle: It opens when we’re born, closes when we pass away, and everything we create and accomplish in the middle defines our legacy. Chance the Rapper sees it a bit differently. For the last seven years, Chance (born Chancelor Bennett) believed his legacy was his children. “What I […]
