Netflix just spent a reported $320,000,000 on soulless nostalgia bait
The Electric State, with a star-studded cast led by Millie Bobby Brown and Chris Pratt,is Netflix’s latest mega-budget movie (Picture: Netflix/Paul Abell) Netflix’s The Electric State is the streamer’s most expensive original movie to date – but sadly it doesn’t show much value for money as the Millie Bobby Brown flick is far from its best. At a rumoured cost of $320million (£247m), she and Chris Pratt star in a muddled sci-fi action comedy stuffed with robots that isn’t actually … Continue reading “Netflix just spent a reported $320,000,000 on soulless nostalgia bait”

This is the most unpredictably entertaining film you can watch this weekend
Mickey 17 teams up Robert Pattinson with Robert Pattinson – and Bong Joon Ho (Picture: Warner Bros.) Mickey 17 is a film even weirder than you can anticipate, and that’s saying something given the hype around director Bong Joon Ho and lead star Robert Pattinson’s offbeat and highly anticipated teaming up. This sci-fi’s bizarreness is actually one of its strongest qualities, given the glee with which the director leans into its madcap chaos and humour. The other, undoubtedly, is Pattinson, … Continue reading “This is the most unpredictably entertaining film you can watch this weekend”
Inside Lady Gaga's Little Monster 'Mayhem' Press Conference
If you’ve ever felt the pangs of fandom — heart attacks while waiting in Ticketmaster queues, showing up to the venue nearly a day before the performance, textbook knowledge of all the lore, feelings and interviews around your fav’s album and (of course) a beating desire to be able to speak with them (or, hell, dance with them) in person — then you’ll likely vibe with Spotify’s latest fan-focused event. Last week, in a Brooklyn warehouse, Lady Gaga’s biggest fans … Continue reading “Inside Lady Gaga's Little Monster 'Mayhem' Press Conference”
Lady Gaga: 'My Mayhem Is That There's Lots of Me's'
If The Fame was a manifestation, MAYHEM is Lady Gaga’s temperature check — and a confident one at that. Now, nearly two decades into the pop star’s mountain-like career, we’ve seen her lunge in all directions to fight against, escape from and through it all, create her own artistic reality. At times, this has meant landing on entire planets that only exist in Gaga’s mind (and, by proxy, all of ours). We followed her into the past and also the … Continue reading “Lady Gaga: 'My Mayhem Is That There's Lots of Me's'”
Esme Emerson Bury Bodies and Feelings on 'Stay'
Esme Emerson‘s “Stay” is a slow-building, twitchy daydream that explores grief, loss, and (of course) love. The British-Chinese siblings (Esme and Emerson) tell PAPER it’s a “plea for more time with someone, even if it’s just a minute,” adding: “There are so many things to do and say to our loved ones, and never enough time for it all. It’s also about how easy it might seem to leave but how important it is to stay.” The track comes ahead … Continue reading “Esme Emerson Bury Bodies and Feelings on 'Stay'”
