HBONine years after The Jinx shocked the world with a hot-mic recording of real estate scion Robert Durst confessing to the three homicides he was accused of committing, Andrew Jarecki’s legendary docuseries has returned in excellent form with The Jinx—Part Two. Detailing the aftermath of its own bombshell, which had a direct impact on the millionaire’s fate, the six-part HBO affair is a stellar follow-up that delves even deeper into the warped psyche of Durst and the tangled web of friends, accomplices, and lawyers who played a part in his stranger-than-fiction odyssey.That saga takes a stunning courtroom twist in this Sunday’s fourth episode, “The Unluckiest Man in the World.” On trial for the Christmastime 2000 murder of Susan Berman, his long-time confidant and right-hand woman, Durst finds himself once again in the crosshairs of Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney John Lewin, whose prosecution hinges in part on the “cadaver note” that was sent to police to notify them that the deceased Susan was in her home. While Jarecki’s prior series ended with seemingly conclusive evidence that Durst had written that missive, a giant hole remains in his case: placing Durst (who claimed to be in northern California in December 2000) in Los Angeles at the time of the crime.In this exclusive clip from this weekend’s installment, Lewin sets his sights on Emily Altman, a close Durst friend whose husband, Stewart, often served as Durst’s lawyer. On the stand, Emily is asked if Durst told her that he was in L.A. when Susan was slain, to which she responds, “God, I wish I could remember.” This may sound like a non-committal answer, but as Lewin explains, it was a monumental turning point. “It’s as if the world slows down,” he says, “and I have time to say to myself, ‘Oh my God, she just gave it to me.’ Because if she didn’t know anything about Bob being in L.A., instead of saying, ‘I wish I could remember,’ Emily would have simply answered, ‘No.’”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/ReutersA week some had hoped would be an occasion for reconciliation ended up blowing Britain’s royal feud wide open, again, in dramatic and very public style.King Charles’ refusal to meet with Prince Harry, send a minor royal to attend his Invictus event at St Paul’s Cathedral in London this week, or even issue a social media post in support of it is “a clear message that Harry is not welcome to conduct official, quasi-royal events in the U.K. that distract from the monarchy’s message and agenda,” a royal source has told The Daily Beast.Harry cut an isolated figure this week as he arrived alone at a special church service giving thanks for the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Invictus Games, the Paralympic-style event for wounded servicemen he established when still a working royal. No member of the royal family attended the service and, to rub salt in the wound, all working royals except Prince William and Kate Middleton gathered to support the king at a garden party at Buckingham Palace taking place at the same time.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesKendrick Lamar and Drake’s internet-breaking beef has stomped into some deep, dark territory, but you wouldn’t know it from all the GIFs.For weeks, allegations have been flying back and forth as the hip-hop giants battle it out to decide who really rules rap’s “big three.” What started out as the usual displays of puffery and kayfabe has devolved into disturbing claims including pedophilia and assault. Yet at the same time, the internet has continued to do what it does best, churning out lighthearted reaction videos and even humorous GoFundMe campaigns. If this beef has proven anything, it’s that people on all sides—artists and fans—will stop at nothing to chase clout and cash.Speaking on CBS Mornings this week, Carl Lamarre, Billboard’s deputy director of R&B/hip-hop, observed how massive this feud has gotten. “We have not had this kind of chatter, to where it’s exploded in terms of pop culture, so far this year,” he said. “Even if you look at the streams, Kendrick’s ‘Not Like Us’ record has topped Spotify and Apple.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

But perhaps for different reasons.“These Republicans… I’m certain will turn around and raise a billion dollars for him, because at the end of the day, they don’t care,” Moodie reacts. “They’ll drink their bottled water and they’ll have their safe zones, and it’ll be the rest of us that will succumb to the environment that they will create, that will be cancerous, that will be disease-filled. That will just be horrific. But that’s what they want.”Read more at The Daily Beast.

Disney+The latest season of Doctor Who—the BBC show’s debut on Disney+, with its first-ever simultaneous worldwide release—comes with a lofty goal. Can it generate a new audience for this decades-old series, now on its fifteenth iteration? A charming new lead in Barbie’s Ncuti Gatwa, a celebrated showrunner, and guest stars like Jonathan Groff and RuPaul's Drag Race’s Jinkx Monsoon go a long way toward achieving that aim. But for viewers not already onboard with the TARDIS-hopping Time Lord (or sure what that even means), the newly anointed Season 1 might not immediately convince you to come along.Premiering May 10, Episode 1 picks up right after December’s Christmas special, in which Gatwa was introduced as the newest Doctor. (There have been 16 actors in this role over the years; Gatwa is the 16th, but canonically referred to as the Fifteenth Doctor.) But a quick recap will bring newbies up to speed: The Doctor is the last being of his kind, an alien from a now-extinct faraway galaxy in the future who can “regenerate” into new forms upon death. They are, in that way, immortal—although with each regeneration, they lose the memories of their recent past. Unmoored without a home planet, the Doctor travels through time at their leisure, with the help of a classic blue police box that doubles as a spaceship.But to combat the obvious loneliness of a life spent on the road across space and time, the Doctor traditionally recruits a different human companion or three to come along for the ride. This season, the Doctor has partnered up with Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), a spunky teen whose life he saved from dancing aliens in the special. Together, Ruby and the Doctor jet set into the past, present, and future, meeting and helping people—Ruby conveniently has few Earthly responsibilities to hold her back, plus the blessing of her adoptive mother.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Courtesy of EdglrdLike nothing you’ve ever seen, Aggro Dr1ft strives to create not simply something new, but The New, delivering a barrage of sound and image that amalgamates the old and familiar into a fresh, hallucinatory cinematic vision. It’s brilliant. It’s tacky. It’s exhilarating. It’s wearisome. There’s no middle ground with this boundary-pushing whatsit, which will earn reactions as diverse and heated as the various elements that comprise its wholly unique 80 minutes. Destined to be passionately adored and despised, it’s a provocation, a stunt, a dare, and an experiment—as well as a bold one-of-a-kind experience that, following its polarizing debut at numerous 2023 festivals, shouldn’t be missed when it arrives in domestic theaters beginning May 10.Aggro Dr1ft is the beastly offspring of many mothers and fathers, playing like the bastard progeny of Grand Theft Auto, Scarface, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and kindred action and crime sagas, all of it fashioned with terrifying and trashy gangland and strip-club aesthetics. Korine shoots his film in eye-searing infrared (via thermal NASA cameras) that makes everything pulsate in blazing reds, yellows, purples, pinks, and blacks, such that it approximates what it might be like to see the world after staring for too long at a solar eclipse. Gliding along and rotating about as if in a dream, the director’s cinematography is at once entrancing and off-putting, and that conflict is further exacerbated by visuals that throb with unholy X-ray malevolence. Faces and bodies flash bio-mechanical veins and tendrils that resemble modernized versions of H.R. Giger’s iconic designs, suggesting a marriage of man and machine, not to mention the mortal and the holy—all of which is embodied by the story’s protagonist.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Monica Schipper/Getty ImagesFriends, I might have a problem. Give me your thoughts on this one: Is it just me, or is Chris Pine slowly ascending to a plane of hotness that most of us cannot even fathom?Every time I see a photo of this man, his beard has gotten bushier, his shorts have gotten shorter, and his sartorial sensibilities have grown more outlandish. While most celebrities keep their street style in a fashionable safe zone, Pine likes to leave the gym in rainbow cardigans, PBS tank tops, and woven loafers. Now, he’s given us Poolman—his directorial debut in which he also stars as a man who dresses like he found all of his clothes abandoned on some dock while random couples skinny-dip. Maybe it’s the recovering Floridian-turned-Brooklynite in me, but I swear I’ve never seen an aesthetic so appealing in my life.If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my thirty-something years on Earth and my decade as an entertainment reporter, it’s that being fashionable has little to do with taste and everything to do with confidence. The line between fashion monster and fashion roadkill is often as simple as how high a person is able to hold their head while they strut. Read more at The Daily Beast.

Photo Illustration by Thomas Levinson/The Daily Beast/Getty/MaxThere are fleeting pop culture references throughout the new season of Hacks that seem tailored specifically to make me scream “Ahh!” in delight. They’re sprinkled across the new episodes like a comedic weather event, to the point that watching the series feels like dancing in a rain shower of jokes written just for me. Someone cue up Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten.”Hacks is releasing two episodes each Thursday, and the first of this week’s installment opens with perhaps the greatest image I’ve ever seen pop up on my television screen: a photo of Jean Smart in-character as Deborah Vance posing with late ’80s-era Oprah Winfrey. I’ve long struggled with the fact that I’m not a person who has “passions” or “hobbies,” per se, unless it’s acceptable to put things like “really love Jean Smart” and “always thought Oprah was neat” in that section of a dating app profile.“The Roast of Deborah Vance” and “Join the Club,” this week’s genius installments, were love-at-first-Winfrey-sight for me, but also crystallized how much of a level-up this new season has been—and why I’d make the argument that the series deserves to interrupt The Bear’s juggernaut awards run and win Outstanding Comedy Series at the Emmys this year. No other series approaches this level of emotional heft and ballsy Hollywood ridicule without sacrificing its mission to make viewers laugh. And that’s all while accomplishing any piece of pop culture’s most crucial task: catering to my sensibilities specifically.Read more at The Daily Beast.

MUBIThere are many moments in Gasoline Rainbow, the teen road trip drama directed by Bill Ross IV and Turner Ross, that defy classification into either fiction or reality. It’s shot as if an unseen member of the friend group at the core of the film is holding a camera at all times, swinging it around inside a cramped van, jerking it from side to side as they run down empty highways and flat fields. Following today’s teens’ first steps into the wide world of adulthood, Gasoline Rainbow is a melancholy, meandering road movie for a generation on the precipice.The film is led by a group of five first-time actors, three boys and two girls, playing high school seniors about to graduate from the world they knew and leave their homes for higher education. Having grown up in a small town in the middle of the Oregon flatlands, they’ve never seen the Pacific coast, so they pile into their friend’s van and set off down the road. Most of the movie is just listening to them talk about anything and everything. Their conversations range from music on the radio to abusive home situations to global warming with no beginning, no end, and no logical through lines, as if these really are just kids shooting the shit with their pals.One of the Ross brothers’ previous films, the “documentary” Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets, chronicled the last big night of a closing bar—but since they couldn’t film inside the actual bar itself, they dressed up a different location and filmed with a cast, blurring the line between fiction and realism. That’s the effect they achieve in Gasoline Rainbow, which is most definitely fiction, but whose performances are so rambling and naturalistic that it’s difficult to tell where script ends and improv begins. During the quieter parts, voiceovers take over, taken from interviews with each of the actors about their hopes and fears for the future, and what they’ve learned from their past and their complicated home lives.Read more at The Daily Beast.
