Summer might be over, but that doesn’t mean music festival season is finished. To kick off October, Chappell Roan, Dua Lipa, Chris Stapleton, Blink-182, and more bands and artists will head south for the 2024 Austin City Limits music festival this fall. The annual Acl fest runs over two weekends at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas, from Oct. 4-6 and 11-13, respectively — and there’s already a...

One of the more unusual creative choices made for Roland Emmerich's 1998 film "Godzilla" was to make it into, essentially, a comedy. In its structure, "Godzilla" is a straight-up adventure blockbuster, replete with the trappings of city-sized destruction and international mayhem that Emmerich typically handles with such aplomb. In its tone, however, "Godzilla" is light and breezy, and focuses on the human character Nick Tatopoulos (Matthew Broderick) and his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, the aspiring reporter Audrey (Maria Pitillo). Audrey feels stymied in her career by a lascivious, egotistical boss Charles Caiman (Harry Shearer) who implies that he'll give her a promotion in exchange for sexual favors. One might also notice that Caiman's secretary is played by actress Nancy Cartwright.

Insulted and disgusted by Charles, Audrey instead takes to the streets of New York with her cameraman Animal (Hank Azaria) hoping to catch footage of the rampaging iguana monster stalking the streets.

Alanis Morissette makes her long-awaited Austin City Limits debut this weekend, and ahead of the episode, Rolling Stone can exclusively share the singer’s “Hand in My Pocket” performance from Austin’s Moody Theatre.

The hour-long episode — airing February 17 on PBS, and Morissette’s first-time on the venerable concert series — features the Jagged Little Pill singer rifling through her arsenal of hits, including “Head Over Feet,” “Ironic,” “You Oughta Know,” “Thank U,” and a rousing rendition of “Hand in My Pocket,” complete with Morissette’s harmonica solo and a crowd singalong.

Alanis Morissette has made her first-ever appearance on Austin City Limits, and it’s an exciting one! The upcoming hour-long set features many fan favorites, including eight cuts from her landmark album Jagged Little Pill. In anticipation, Consequence has an exclusive preview of her performance of the hit “You Oughta Know,” which you can watch below.

The singer sounds just as intense as she did when the song was released nearly 30 years ago. Morissette wrings every bit of rage from the track in a truly electrifying performance. “You Oughta Know” initially made waves for its pointed lyrics, and they remain just as powerful here. The song is roaring and raucous, and she propels it forward with driving on-stage radiance.

Morissette’s debut on Austin City Limits is set to premiere in full on Saturday, February 17th at 8:00 p.m. Et on PBS. It will be available to stream immediately following the initial broadcast.

Foo Fighters have returned to the Austin City Limits stage for their third headlining appearance on the show. In anticipation of their upcoming episode, Consequence has an exclusive premiere of their performance of their hit “Rescued” from But Here We Are, which you can watch below.

Sounding as electric now as he did almost 30 years ago when the band formed, Dave Grohl brought every bit of energy within him to this live recording. Recently nominated for two Grammy Awards, the track’s rolling guitars and passionate vocals translate gloriously to the intimate stage, with the surrounding band members bringing their all to make this an unforgettable performance.

Foo Fighters’ first Austin City Limits appearance in nearly a decade premieres in full on Saturday, November 18th at 8:00 p.m. Et on PBS. It will be available to stream immediately following the initial broadcast. With the first half of the season nearly coming to an end,...

Austin City Limits, the longest-running American music series, continues its 49th season on PBS this weekend with an appearance by our 2022 Band of the Year Muna. In anticipation, Consequence has an exclusive premiere of their performance of a track off their self-titled album, “Home by Now,” which you can watch below.

The performance of this breakup track opens with sparkly guitars and light drums before vocalist Katie Gavin’s raspy, commanding voice takes center stage and cuts through the instrumentation. Hot off the heels of their 2022 album, Muna demonstrate that they are prepared for the spotlight and are ready to make the jump, while showing that they know how to have a good time.

This is Muna’s Austin City Limits debut, sharing a double bill with singer Jenny Lewis. The full performance premieres Saturday, October 14th at 8:00 p.m. Et on PBS and will be available to stream...

Vizio, a top smart-tv maker, has launched a branded content studio as part of its push into streaming programming.

The new business unit, unveiled Monday during the NewFronts, is expanding on a test show, 3 Pointers. The series, sponsored by BetMGM, is hosted by Man vs. Food‘s Casey Webb. It features sports-themed “hacks” related to food, beverages and entertainment for sports viewers.

The new brand studio’s slate includes Clean Break, a TikTok-inspired organizing show hosted by Michelle Hobgood; Island Eats, a food-and-travel series focused on obscure parts of the Caribbean; City Limits, showcasing unexpected offerings found just outside the border of cities; and From the Ground Up, a series hosted by comedian Rance Nix that shines a light on industry experts and entrepreneurs in multiple sectors.

Yungblud has unveiled a colorful, dance-fueled music video for his song “Tissues.” The clip, shot in London and directed by Charlie Sarsfield, sees the musician dancing through various scenes where the other people are frozen in time.

The track, off Yungblud’s new self-titled LP, features a sample of the Cure’s “Close To Me,” which was personally approved by the band’s lead singer Robert Smith.

“This is a new era for Yungblud, I wanted to dance, I wanted to move, and I wanted to really personify in the video what this song means,...

Premiering on Feb. 14, 1992, Wayne’s World was a Valentine’s Day gift to heavy metal music. Starring Mike Myers as lo-fi cable host Wayne Campbell and Dana Carvey as his best friend/chimp/“with you as always” Garth Algar, the film followed in the tradition of The Blues Brothers, a Saturday Night Live skit that became a big screen buddy movie which had that box office “schwing.” Both films highlighted a particular music genre, and each brought on experts in the sonic reality.

Penelope Spheeris directed the cult punk rock/heavy metal masterpiece documentary film series The Decline of Western Civilization, and turned down the heavy metal satire This Is Spinal Tap because it wasn’t headbanging enough. She’d also caught the dark side of punk squatter slacking in the 1984 coming of age drama Suburbia. In directing Wayne’s World, Spheeris captures the subtle tension between a metal-head’s manic persona...

Because it is indeed the season, Austin City Limits has shared St. Vincent’s performance of “At the Holiday Party” from her upcoming episode in the second half of PBS’ long-running concert show’s 47th season.

The performance of “At the Holiday Party” begins with a light guitar strum and a waiter suddenly appearing on stage to hand out drinks to St. Vincent and her backing band. Before fully launching into the slick rendition of the Daddy’s Home track, St. Vincent proposes a toast to Austin City Limits and, “More than anything,...

It's ten-to-one and SNL has one sketch left in the tank. Here's a look at the weird and weirdly brilliant segments that made it onto TV.

Saturday Night Live has a pretty basic structure from show to show. You have the cold open, the opening credits, the host monologue, a few sketches, the musical guest, Weekend Update, some more sketches, maybe another musical performance mixed in there, and the ending credits. It’s worked for them for decades and will work for them for decades to come.

One of the more volatile parts of the show is the final sketch. Airing after the second musical performance and coming sometime in-between 12:50 to 12:55, you’re going to get one sketch that is going to be a crapshoot. Not only in whether it’s going to be funny, but whether it’s going to be coherent. It’s the scraps of the writers,...

Ever wish The Voice‘s Blind Auditions were shown in strict chronological order?

Ok, sure, a straightforward just-the-facts edit might rob producers of the ability to create narrative ebb and flow over the course of two-hour episodes, but there’d be undeniable advantages, too.

Fans of Tina Turner know all about her quaint upbringing in a small Tennessee town called Nutbush. In fact, that small town is the inspiration for “Nutbush City Limits.” Now, that small upbringing has not only been immortalized in song, but also in the preservation Turner’s childhood schoolhouse. The one-room schoolhouse Turner grew up in has been restored and turned into the Tina Turner Museum at Flagg Grove School. According to ABC News, more than 100 people came to the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the museum, located on the grounds of Brownsville, Tn’s West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center. Fans in attendance came as far away as the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany. [ Read More ]

Santana was just learning how to be a good friend, too.

News broke April 29 that Naya Rivera — who’s played Santana Lopez on Glee for the past five seasons — is leaving the show, and won’t even be in the fifth season finale. (For what it’s worth: Rivera’s rep said she wasn’t fired; a rep for the show declined to comment to EW). And in Tuesday’s finale, Santana was nowhere to be found. (The show’s explanation: She was “shooting a Yeast-i-Stat commercial in Iowa for a week.”) While fans will have to wait and see...

Heating things up in New York City, an abundance of stars flocked to the various premieres as part of the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival last night (April 17).

“Parks and Recreation” actress Aubrey Plaza joined “New Girl” guy Max Greenfield at the “About Alex” screening at the Bmcc Tribeca Pac.

Meanwhile, a pregnant Chelsea Clinton seemed to be enjoying herself at the High Line as she attended the Shorts Program: City Limits event while Mark Ruffalo showed up at Chelsea Bow Tie Cinemas for the premiere of “Virunga.”

Philippines-set crime thriller Metro Manila has scooped the top prize at the 16th Moet British Independent Film Awards in London, beating box office hit Philomena as well as The Selfish Giant, Starred Up and Le Week-end.

Metro Manila led the pack on the night with three wins including Best British Independent Film, Best Director for Sean Ellis and Best Achievement in Production.

Clearly stunned, Ellis thanked Bifa for supporting “our little holiday film” when accepting the Best Film prize and - holding back tears - dedicated the award to his mother.

The crime drama, shot in the Philippine capital in the Tagalog language with a local cast and crew, debuted at Sundance in January and is the UK’s submission for the Best Foreign-Language Film at the Oscars...

My friend Peter Richardson, who has died of cancer aged 51, was a graphic artist with a special talent for typography. Peter's designs were always elegant and considered, with a sensitive use of colour. His collage-based illustrations combined simple drawings, text and photographic elements. These varied design skills lent themselves well to animation, in particular the creation of TV titles and motion graphics, where Peter made his career.

He was born in Guiseley, West Yorkshire. After secondary school he started a degree in engineering at Manchester University, but then decided to transfer to an art foundation course at Bradford College, where he was encouraged by the tutors Grant Devine and Ian Taylor.

He went on to study illustration at Liverpool Polytechnic, where he developed his interest in drawing, collage, making handmade books, lino-cut printing and typography. While at Liverpool he played guitar for the Passmore Sisters, who released a number of...

As if it isn’t enough that fans of Arrow occasionally get to see Stephen Amell (‘Oliver Queen’) engage in partial nudity, now they have three more scantily clad reasons to tune in.

The CW just released a second set of promo posters for season 2 of Arrow that feature pretty much the entire male cast looking very topless, and very ripped. I don’t remember hearing that it was a requirement for being cast on the show, but that definitely seems to be the case if we can consider these posters as evidence.

Amell, along with co-stars David Ramsey (‘Diggle’), Colton Haynes (‘Roy Harper’), and Manu Bennett (‘Slade Wilson’) are showing off a different kind of talent when they strip down for your enjoyment – and hopefully there are no complaints. Although fans of Arrow have other excuses for watching, it doesn’t hurt to add a few more in the off-season.

As March nears an end, it will be noted for losing three horror novelists:

From Locus:

Writer and editor David B. Silva, 62, died in early March, 2013.

Silva is best known for editing influential magazine The Horror Show, which ran from 1982-1991 . Silva won a World Fantasy Award in 1988 in the special, non-professional category for his work on the magazine. He also edited anthologies, including Post Mortem: New Tales of Ghostly Horror (1989) and Dead End: City Limits (1991), both with Paul F. Olson, as well as books collecting the best work from The Horror Show. From 1997-2002 he and Olson co-edited industry newsletter Hellnotes, for horror professionals and fans. In 2004, the newsletter was revived as a website.

Silva began publishing short fiction in 1981, and The Calling (1990) won a Bram Stoker Award. Several of his other stories were Stoker finalists, and collection Through Shattered Glass (2001) won an International Horror Guild Award...

One thing we can and should all agree on: Naya Rivera is the best part of Glee this season. Look what she did with “Nutbush City Limits.” And “Girl on Fire.” And “Mine.” And Santana is still the best bitch-slapper on the show. In Thursday’s new episode of Glee, she puts that bitch-slappery to song, dedicating Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted” to the talcumy hairless boy wonder Brody. Watch Vulture’s exclusive video of the performance below. It features fishnets and scaffolding, good for writhing around. You're welcome.

Don’t say “diva” like it’s a dirty word. I mean, if living legend Aretha Franklin was more than happy to be front and center for VH1′s “Divas Live” extravaganza, then who are the rest of us to treat it like a common four-letter word, right?

Okay, so diva-dom might also be about milquetoast Emma Pillsbury reducing Cheesecake Factory managers to tears, and Rachel Berry’s runaway ego stomping around New York City like King Kong after an expensive blowout at the salon. It could even prompt Tina Cohen-Chang to withhold her “soup” from an ailing Blaine Anderson.
