Omar Apollo spent the hours before his new single “Spite” arrived dancing on top of a parked car in New York’s Lower East Side. His single release event drew a crowd outside of its venue, and the musician basked in their adoration. That level of attention and devotion is exactly what he’s craving but can’t quite capture on “Spite.”
“‘Spite’ is a song about a long distance relationship and wanting to show the other person that you’re okay without them even though you feel like you need them,...

Helldivers 2 is not an official Starship Troopers game, though it’s easy to see why so many people are mistaking it for one. Like Starship Troopers, Helldivers 2 features a group of overly patriotic soldiers using massive sci-fi weapons to battle hordes of bug-like alien creatures. More than just a cute series of stylistic coincidences, Helldivers developer Arrowhead Game Studios has gone out of its way to invite and celebrate Starship Troopers‘ influence on their projects. Helldivers’ debut trailer is even a thinly veiled parody of/tribute to Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 sci-fi action film and (to a slightly lesser degree) the book that the movie is based on.
The fact that there is a major 2024 video game that has people fondly recalling Starship Troopers without ever actually naming that movie is pretty wild. After all, Starship Troopers was eviscerated by most critics and audiences at the time of its release and for many years after.

There’s often been unfair snobbery about the films of Merchant Ivory, the production banner founded in 1961 by producer Ismail Merchant and director James Ivory, which gives Stephen Soucy’s entertaining documentary study its title. The British costume drama was widely considered a wheezing genre — fusty, middlebrow and too calcified in its literary sources to acquire much cinematic vitality — when A Room with a View came along in 1986 and became a global art-house crossover hit. At their best, notably in Howards End and Remains of the Day, Merchant Ivory’s films stand the test of time as influential works that removed the starch from the stodgy period piece.
Contemporaries reductively dismissed their output as “Laura Ashley filmmaking,” referencing the design firm known for its pretty Romantic Victorian inspirations. But Merchant Ivory did more than anyone from the mid-1980s to the early ‘90s to popularize and legitimize the thematically and emotionally rich costume drama.

The best moments of Merchant Ivory––a documentary directed by Stephen Soucy concerning the legendary production company––feel like their most-successful pictures: restrained and revealing at the same time. Mostly told chronologically and split into chapters with talking heads to drive the narrative, the film dutifully recounts the agony and ecstasy of Merchant Ivory Productions. Sections are devoted to producer Ismail Merchant, director James Ivory, writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, and composer Richard Robbins. Dedicated crew members and stars sing their praises while softly criticizing their methods of madness, most of the latter directed at Merchant. Highlights include recollections of Merchant’s culling together funds for each production, often starting a film before all the money was put together. Or Jhabvala’s brutal judgment: Ivory recalls her dislike of Maurice from pre-production onward, all because the novel wasn’t, in her opinion, up to snuff. Somewhat ironically, Maurice is perhaps the...

Fever Ray has shared an irrepressible new remix of “Carbon Dioxide” — a track off their acclaimed LP Radical Romantics — from DJ/producer/songwriter Avalon Emerson.
Both Emerson and Fever Ray’s Karin Dreijer have been teasing the remix for a few months now, with Emerson slipping it into summer festival setlists and Dreijer playing it on their Resident Advisor mix earlier this year. The remix finds Emerson ramping up the original groove to a swift, double-time pace as a repeating synth mantra bubbles up around Dreijer’s vocals.

Just in time for Halloween, the long-running horror series "American Horror Story" from creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk is back for yet another season of pulpy pop terror. Over the show's entire run, which began in October of 2011, it's always been fun for fans to try and guess the theme of each season and piece together clues that reveal whatever subtitle will be attached to the next installment.
Officially, season 12 has been dubbed "American Horror Story: Delicate" and stars series regular Emma Roberts as a Hollywood starlet named Anna Alcott who's desperate to have a child and start a family. The award-winning horror anthology series has certainly had its ups and downs over the years, but "Delicate" looks like a return to form based on the teaser trailer and the first episode which premiered on September 20, 2023. Obvious comparisons to "Rosemary's Baby" aside, season 12 looks like it will also be...
