Calling an album Superache is about as subtle as slapping a “Feelings Ahead” sign on its cover, but Conan Gray reached the vanguard of twentysomething pop by always putting his emotions right up front. On his second album, the 23-year-old YouTuber turned pop star reveals himself to be an astute observer of the human condition, recounting everyday scenes and highlighting those split-second details in interactions that can make a warm rapport between two people transform into permafrost. Gray has a lithe voice that simultaneously possesses the intensity of Shawn Mendes and the sweetness of Carly Rae Jepsen, a potent combination that adds both anguish and romanticism to his music. Some of the most gripping songs on Superache find Gray almost dispassionately describing his own life’s ups and downs before lowering the boom. On the longing “Footnote,” Gray recounts moments when he and someone he’s close to were mistaken for a couple, his observations (“They think we’re a … [Read more...] about Conan Gray Has Many Many Feelings — And Manages Them Quite Impressively on ‘Superache’

That track was also produced by Antonoff, who wrote the song alongside Kevin Parker, Sam Dew, and Patrik Berger. “Turn Up the Sunshine” is one of the few original offerings from the album that finds an eclectic mix of artists tackling classic releases from John Lennon, the Carpenters, Nancy Sinatra, Sly and the Family Stone, Kool & the Gang, Santana, and more musicians.

The Broadway revival of American Buffalo , performed at the in-the-round Circle in the Square Theatre, will continue to require audience masking through July 10, the production’s closing date. In a statement released today, producers said, “Due to the close proximity of the audience to the actors as a result of the intimate size of the theater and the staging in the round, the production will continue to mandate audiences to wear masks in this space, despite the recent industry announcement of masking-optional across other Broadway theaters beginning July 1st.” Earlier this week, the Broadway League, the trade organization representing theater owners and producers, announced that the mandatory audience mask requirement that’s been in place since theaters reopened last fall will be replaced in July with a mask optional plan. The policy will then be reviewed on a month-by-month basis. American Buffalo is the first production to announce that it would maintain … [Read more...] about Broadway’s ‘American Buffalo’ Will Require Audience Masking Until July 10 Closing

FITE Ric Flair is one limousine ridin', jet flyin' tough son of a gun ... but even he admits that he's worried about his health failing him in the final wrestling match of his historic career later this summer. The WWE legend was speaking to reporters in Nashville on Thursday while promoting his much-anticipated "Last Match" bout ... and he revealed he does have some concerns about previous health issues popping up during the tilt. Specifically, the 73-year-old said he's worried about his pacemaker ... as well as some inner ear problems he's had in the past. Flair also hinted blood thinners could have an impact on his body as well. The Hall of Famer, though, did say he's not horribly concerned about any of it, saying if his pacemaker becomes unplugged, he'll just "plug it back in." He added that he also won't take his blood thinner medication that day as well.

A24 is going animated whimsical with Marcel the Shell With Shoes On , Neon opens Beba , Cohen Media Group presents Apples , IFC Midnight Flux Gourmet and Abramorama a documentary The Human Trial in limited release at arthouse cinemas. These venues have been doing a bit better, slowly luring Covid-spooked key older demos back into the theater-going habit, attracting some younger viewers (and playing big franchise movies because they have to). Greg Laemmle , CEO of Laemmle Theatres, understands recovery takes time, especially with independent distributors spending less on marketing. That’s why he counts more than ever on reviews to attract an audience. “Our theatres have been open for over a year since the 13-month shutdown, and every week we present an array of smaller foreign-language films, documentaries, and indie features. Distributors aren’t advertising in print like they did pre-pandemic. But if you look in the LA Times every day, you’ll … [Read more...] about Greg Laemmle Wants More Reviews Of Indie Films To Speed Arthouse Revival – Specialty Preview

In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court stripped American women of their right to reproductive autonomy . In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court on Friday determined that states can restrict or outright ban abortion at any point during a pregnancy. The decision overturned Roe v. Wade , a 1973 case that established a constitutional right to abortion services. In a concurring opinion, conservative Justice Clarence Thomas indicated that the Supreme Court should reconsider previous rulings that established the right to contraception, same-sex marriage, and protections for same-sex relationships. In a solo concurring opinion, Thomas says the court should reconsider rulings that protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage. pic.twitter.com/zcQNko6NVR — Matt Ford (@fordm) June 24, 2022 “We should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergfell,” Thomas wrote. … [Read more...] about Same-Sex Marriage and Contraception Should Be Next on Chopping Block: Clarence Thomas

EXCLUSIVE: Filmmakers Ricki Stern and Anne Lundberg have seen this day coming. For a long time. Their 2108 Netflix documentary Reversing Roe examined how right-wing activists, politicians and jurists were steadily chipping away at abortion rights across the country, with the goal of eventually overturning Roe v. Wade. Today it happened, in a 6-3 Supreme Court decision that tossed out Roe, permitting states to ban or severely restrict abortion. “I think there was no surprise,” Stern said in an interview with Deadline after the ruling was announced. She said she felt “just absolute sadness and just despair, truly, because it’s the beginning of many, many kinds of Supreme Court decisions that, personally, I think are going to set us back. And as the film illustrates, this is a very politically charged issue, abortion rights. This is really about power and [ignores] the lives of many women who are going to be hurt by this decision.” The new HBO documentary The … [Read more...] about ‘The Janes’ And ‘Reversing Roe’ Directors On Supreme Court’s Roe V.
