Spoilers ahead for, like, every episode of Swarm.
Swarm, the new show from Atlanta alums Janine Nabers and Donald Glover about a stanning serial killer, has been generating takes and theories since it premiered on March 17. From the classic “Are sex scenes necessary?” Twitter argument to continued debate over Glover’s attitude toward Black women as represented in his art and something involving Halle Berry (??), the takes have been hot and rapid.
Sydney Sweeney got it all off her chest in her Saturday Night Live monologue, and not just because she threw in a joke about her boobs. While hosting the March 2 episode of SNL, Sweeney took the time to deny being in Madame Web and address multiple rumors about herself, from that infamous birthday party in Idaho (“When people ask, did you go to a Trump-themed party for your mom, I say, I-da-ho”) to the TikToker who claimed she was her nutritionist (“I’ve never had a nutritionist.
The Euphoria star plays whistleblower Reality Winner in an HBO film that turns the actual FBI interrogation transcript into a thriller. Reality is built from the transcript of an actual interrogation that took place on June 3, 2017 — one that two FBI agents subjected a 25-year-old military contractor named Reality Winner to in her home in Augusta, Georgia, shortly before her arrest. To be a regular viewer of movies and TV is to be bombarded with so many fictional versions of similar scenarios that watching a recreation of a real one feels disorienting.
“Live for nothing or die for something” — Rambo, not Rocky, but it’s still Stallone! Sylvester Stallone called and he wants his rights back. In multiple Instagram posts, the writer and star of the Rocky films called the franchise’s producer, Irwin Winkler, “parasitical” and one of the “worst unhuman beings I’ve ever met in the movie industry,” once again asking Winkler to give him the rights to the films.
Congratulations, SZA fans. “Shirt” has graduated from an unreleased snippet that went viral on TikTok to an official single with a music video. And it only took more than a year and a half! Directed by Dave Meyers, the video casts LaKeith Stanfield as SZA’s literal partner in crime. The two of them go on killing sprees while dressed in a variety of outfits. But whether they’re nuns, healthcare workers, or pizza delivery drivers, they always have guns.
Singer, songwriter, soul healer SZA. Another social-media platform, another place to bully musicians into releasing music. SZA fans are giving her the motivation to release new music by making unreleased snippets go viral on TikTok. After crying to her debut album, CTRL, for the past three years, while also crying for its follow-up, her fans are so desperate they’re starting trends with clips she posted on her Instagram Story. “Jus to keep y’all up to date w me my only priorities rn are Finalizing GOOD DAYS mv and shirt,” she tweeted at the end of January, referring to the upcoming music video for another song fans begged her to drop, “Good Days.
At this rate, SZA x Goop seems more likely than an album. Remember the old days when yelling “Rihanna’s impact!” didn’t mean another queen is delaying their album? We’re old now. And so weary. And yet, SZA told Rolling Stone her highly anticipated sophomore album might not even be an album. “Music is coming out this year for sure,” she said. “An album? Strong words.” Okay, technically, they were her words.
Yes, the just unveiled cover for T.I.’s upcoming comeback album, King Unleashed — which, as seen to your right, places the king of hip-hop next to the king of the jungle — looks like an illustration. You should know, though, that T.I. insists he, at one point in the recent past, totally did stand next to an actual ferocious lion. Respect magazine grabbed this incredible quote:
I’m known as “the King.
