Peso Pluma’s four guests during Weekend One of Coachella were already impressive, but the Mexican star stepped it up even more on Weekend Two, bringing out five guests Friday night.
The Mexican music star — who dedicated his set both weekends to the originators of corridos — welcomed surprise guests from Anitta, Eslabón Armado, Chencho Corleone, Ryan Castro, and Jasiel Nuñez.
After Peso opened his set with standouts “Rubicon,” Nuñez joined him for a rendition of their Génesis collaboration, “Rosa Pastel.”

Ed Maverick is making the saddest song on Peso Pluma’s Génesis even sadder. On Thursday, the Mexican indie singer-songwriter released a cover of “Lagunas,” Peso’s track with Jasiel Nuñez about forcing himself to stay away from someone he loves so that he can heal.
“Perhaps in another galaxy things were different,” sings Maverick in his distinct melancholic voice. “Perhaps there we’d have what we always had wanted.”
“Lagunas” was the second-to-last track on Génesis and hears Peso and Nuñez introspecting following the conclusion of a relationship backed by soft guitars and requinto.

Johnny Marr teamed up with a 30-piece orchestra for the first of a two-night homecoming run in Manchester, England.
Across a 16-song setlist, the British guitar icon reimagined songs from his solo repertoire along with classics from The Smiths and his dance project with Bernard Sumner, Electronic. Highlights included “How Soon Is Now?,” “Easy Money,” and, of course, “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” during which Marr paid tribute to his late Smiths bandmate, Andy Rourke, who died this past May.
Speaking about the experience, Marr said that he couldn’t “help feeling a little bit emotional” hearing his songs receive symphonic treatment. “I’ve had two experiences of playing with an orchestra — Hans Zimmer, obviously, and also with Pet Shop Boys — but to actually sing in front of an orchestra playing my own work, that’s a first,” he said (per NME). “It’s been really enjoyable working on the arrangements.

Joel Edgerton Coaches An Underdog Rowing Team in George Clooney’s ‘Boys in the Boat’ Trailer (Video)
When money, food and shelter were in short supply, joining a rowing team was a matter of life and death. That’s the hook in George Clooney’s latest directorial effort, “The Boys in the Boat.”
Based on Daniel James Brown’s non-fiction novel, the picture concerns the 1936 University of Washington rowing team that competed at the Summer Olympics in Berlin. The trailer hits all the underdog sports team cliches, although cliches become as much for a reason. The picture looks handsomely staged and impeccably acted by the likes of Joel Edgerton and Callum Turner.
This marks Clooney’s first directorial effort since the Ben Affleck-starring “The Tender Bar” in 2021. It’s unquestionably a sign of the times that Clooney hasn’t directed a feature for a theatrically focused studio since “Rubicon” for Paramount in late 2017.

In the late 20th century, a system of categorizing personalities into “Type A” and “Type B” gained mainstream pop-psychological traction. The theory may have since fallen out of favor, but sometimes it’s hard not to be reminded of it, like when watching Selman Nacar’s sober, stressful second feature, “Hesitation Wound.” Defense attorney Canan is competitive, status-conscious, ambitious and impatient to the point of work addiction. In other words, she’s the Type A-est Type A to ever have had a very hard day.
Nacar, who studied law himself, has written a screenplay that piles incident on incident, and moral quandary on moral quandary, each bumping into the rear of the next like a knock-on collision in rush hour traffic. But he directs with a spontaneity that means the drama never seems contrived, especially as conveyed in the considered realism of Tudor Panduru’s cinematography. Panduru, who has been...

As Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine returns for the MCU’s forthcoming Deadpool 3, other X-Men alumni are ripe for a comeback no one is asking for
Nobody knows quite how Deadpool ended up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Or rather Everyone knows how the merc with a mouth made it to Marvel on a corporate level – Disney bought 20th Century Fox – but we are yet to find out how the writing room crew are going to wrestle this one out in creative terms. Does Ryan Reynolds’s mischievous hero simply arrive fully formed from an alternate reality where everyone swears a lot more than they did in Thor: Ragnarok, and there is considerably more nudity, breaking of the fourth wall and hardcore violence? Will our chimichanga-munching antihero be forced to tone it all down a bit in the forthcoming Deadpool 3 alongside the returning Hugh Jackman as Wolverine? Or will...

Hollywood star Tom Hanks feels that not every film he did was great. In an interview published with The New Yorker, Hanks said: “Let’s admit this: We all have seen movies that we hate. I have been in some movies that I hate. You have seen some of my movies and you hate them.”
Hanks was speaking on how a film should be judged. Instant reactions are common, he noted, reports deadline.com.
“Someone is going to say, ‘I hated it.’ Other people can say, ‘I think it’s brilliant.’ Somewhere in between the two is what the movie actually is,” he said, referring to it as “Rubicon No. 3.”
“The commercial performance of the film,” Hanks said, is the fourth Rubicon, “because, if it does not make money, your career will be toast sooner than you want it to be. That’s just the fact.”
And the fifth and final Rubicon is time.

Tom Hanks doesn't like all of his movies; in fact, he admittedly hates some of them. In a discussion with The New Yorker, published on May 28, the Oscar winner got honest about filmmaking and how sometimes movies that have the potential to turn out good end up being total flops.
"Ok, let's admit this: We all have seen movies that we hate," Hanks said. "I have been in some movies that I hate. You have seen some of my movies and you hate them." He then laid out five "points of the Rubicon" that all moviemakers pass through when creating and releasing a project that indicate how it'll be received.

Hasan Minhaj is open to the idea of hosting “The Daily Show” — but it’s not a decision he would make alone. “That’s a family conversation now,” Minhaj tells Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “It’s a very different conversation then when I first got hired at the show, when I was 29. My life is in a very different place. And so that’s a bigger convo.”
Minhaj’s recent Netflix stand-up special, “The King’s Jester,” includes a deeply personal look by the comedian at the evolution of his family, from being infertile to eventually raising two children with his life — and how that has changed a lot of things in his life, including his career choices and his on-stage routines.
“Other people have to live with the consequences of what I say,” he notes. “And I just want to make sure everybody if that were to ever come to fruition.

DC has a lot riding on next month’s big cinema release. The Flash, led by Ezra Miller, has sped a rough road to the big screen, but against a backdrop of real world controversy and a highly publicised last-gasp changing of the DC guard, the film will land in a few weeks’ time. But that’s not the only reason it’s one of the most anticipated films of the summer.
The character itself is one of DC’s finest, familiar to fans on both big and small screens. Leading his own Dceu film was always on the cards, and when you look at ExpressVPN’s guide to The Flash, you can get an idea of the storied history of the Scarlet Speedster and learn some fun new facts. For example, I was utterly unaware of his trio of companions in the ’40s called The Three Dimwits. Now I know they exist,...

The end of May traditionally also means that fall TV shows are gearing up to end their season finales. But that tradition hails from a time when TV seasons were nearly 30 episodes in length, and spanned from their premieres in early September all the way through late spring.
Streaming has changed essentially everything about that schedule. Although new TV shows are still traditionally released in the fall, streaming has no set calendar, and new titles release whenever studio executives see a lull in their calendar. Coincidentally, there are a couple of big-name streaming shows that will air their season (and series) finales this week, even though their premiere episodes aired not last September, but earlier this spring. Check them out below, along with all the other fantastic titles coming to streaming this week!

Hulu has given a series order to The Other Black Girl, an adaptation of Zakiya Dalila Harris’ novel of the same name.
The series will be executive produced by Tara Duncan, the former Netflix exec who struck an overall deal with Hulu in 2020 and who is now president of Freeform. Other EPs are Rashida Jones, Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey, Adam Fishbach, Zakiya Dalila Harris, and Danielle Henderson, who will showrun.
It’s from Onyx Collective.
The series follows Nella, an editorial assistant, who is tired of being the only black girl at her company, so she’s excited when Hazel is hired. But as Hazel’s star begins to rise, Nella spirals out and discovers something sinister is going on at the company.
The book was published by Atria/Simon & Schuster last year. The Other Black Girl is based on Harris’ time working at the Penguin Random House-owned publisher.

Opening in theaters and VOD July 1 comes the new film Rubikon from director Leni Lauritsch.
A toxic cloud of pollution has swallowed the earth, killing untold numbers. The world’s nations have dissolved, with all power now in the hands of giant corporations. The rich retreat to sealed biodomes while the poor choke and starve. On the space station Rubikon, Hannah (Julia Franz Richter), Gavin (George Blagden), and Dimitri (Mark Ivanir) weigh the fate of the planet’s survivors. Should these crewmembers risk their own lives on a rescue mission to the surface, or ignore the old world to build a new one of safety and solitude, living off the station’s sophisticated algae symbiosis system? Against the vast canvas of the cosmos, three people with different worldviews debate their moral responsibility to the species, all while grappling with the timely agony of isolation.

IFC Midnight has taken North American rights to Magdalena Lauritsch’s sci-fi disaster movie, Rubikon. A theatrical and PVOD date will be set for this year.
In the film, the crew of a space station, Hannah (Julia Franz Richter), Gavin (George Blagden) and Dimitri (Mark Ivanir) must decide whether they risk their lives to get back home during a global catastrophe and search for survivors or stay safe in the sophisticated station’s algae symbiosis system, which makes them fully self-reliant. Rubikon questions whether we have the right to seal ourselves off in safety and ignorance from the ongoing problems of the world, as three people with three very different worldviews collide in this pressure-cooker environment millions of miles away.
The deal for the film was negotiated by IFC Films’ Manager of Acquisitions Adam Koehler with The Playmaker Munich’s Deputy Head of Sales & Acquisitions Moritz Hemminger on behalf of the filmmakers.

In telling the story of champion alpine ski racer Franz Klammer, one of Austria’s most revered and beloved sports heroes, director Andreas Schmied forewent the usual biopic tropes, focusing instead on a few fateful days that culminated in his victory at the 1976 Olympics in Innsbruck. It was that focus that ultimately convinced Klammer to give the film, “Chasing the Line,” a thumbs up. The movie world premieres at the Zurich Film Festival, which opens Thursday.
Other attempts had been made at telling Klammer’s story on film over the years, but none had succeeded. When producer Jakob Pochlatko of Vienna-based Epo-Film approached Schmied with the project, the director embraced the opportunity.
“I grew up with Franz Klammer – everybody in Austria did,” Schmied says, stressing Klammer’s enduring popularity in the country. “I knew what a big deal Franz is.”

German-language productions on offer at the Cannes Film Market present an eclectic mix of adult drama, biting social commentary, history, comedy, kids’ pics and animation from such high-profile helmers as Stefan Ruzowitzky, Marcus H. Rosenmüller, Maria Schrader and Matti Geschonneck.
In Ruzowitzky’s atmospheric “Hinterland,” part of Beta Cinema’s lineup, a Great War veteran tracks down a killer in 1920s Vienna.
Rosenmüller and Santiago López Jover’s 1960s-set animated comedy “Snotty Boy” follows a kid whose unstoppable talent for drawing gives him an outlet for his discontent while growing up in a small conservative Austrian town where Nazi sympathy is still very prevalent. Sold by Picture Tree Intl., the pic was inspired by the life and work of late Austrian cartoonist and satirist Manfred Deix.
Rosenmüller’s other new comedy, “Lifeguard Off Duty,” centers on grumpy lifeguard Karl and his efforts to save the local swimming pool from closure.

James Badge Dale is one of the hardest working actors out there. He’s always conscious, and very much cares about, the power of creative collaboration. Badge (as he prefers to be called) is the type of actor who disappears so effortlessly into his roles that every movie buff might think of a different project when his name pops up in conversation. He was Jack Bauer’s partner on the third season of “24,” shot Leo’s brains out in “The Departed,” and was the lead of AMC’s criminally underappreciated series, “Rubicon.”
Following his show’s cancellation, the actor found quite a stride in big-budget studio films, stealing the spotlight of movies ranging from “Iron Man 3” to “The Lone Ranger” and “Flight.” He’s been featured in phenomenal indie gems such as Steve McQueen’s “Shame,” and the recent, under-sung tension boiler, “The Standoff At Sparrow Creek,” which feels...

Carmen Ejogo (Selma) and Isiah Whitlock Jr. (The Wire) are set as series regulars opposite Bryan Cranston in Your Honor, Showtime’s limited series based on the hot Israeli drama format (Kvodo). The legal thriller hails from Peter Moffat, whose BAFTA-winning Criminal Justice was the basis for HBO’s Emmy-winning limited series The Night Of, and The Good Wife‘s Robert and Michelle King. The series, produced by CBS TV Studios, is slated to go into production this fall in New Orleans.
