This summer marked the return of packed theaters, and one much-hyped forthcoming release is adding itself to the mix in hopes of reaching Barbie or Oppenheimer levels of success. Apple revealed that Killers of the Flower Moon will be released in movie theaters simultaneously worldwide on Oct. 20, forgoing a planned limited release originally scheduled for Oct. 6. Directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, the highly-anticipated film will stream on Apple TV+ at a later date. Due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strikes, Scorsese and his all-star cast will not be able to promote the crime thriller, which led the studio to take a global approach.

After taking a break for the summer, Skip Bayless’ Undisputed talk show made its return this week. Observant viewers caught a new theme song courtesy of Lil Wayne. Aptly titled “Good Morning,” the veteran rapper makes subtle nods to Bayless and his unorthodox debate technique. The flow contains sports metaphors sprinkled throughout. “If you ain’t got no haters, you ain’t poppin, I ain’t tryin to hate/ Let’s have a Jordan and Lebron debate, I got time of day/ Drippin’ on the chain, my diamonds say what they gotta say/ If you think it’s a game, I commentate, I ain’t got to play,” the New Orleans-born emcee raps. Joining Bayless on the revamped Undisputed were former ESPN analysts Keyshawn Johnson and Michael Irvin, along with retired Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman, who replaces Shannon Sharpe as his co-host. Lil Wayne himself will join Bayless as an occasional guest commentator.

If the sold-out Eras Tour didn’t prove just how many loyal Taylor Swift fans there are, perhaps this new achievement will make it indisputable. On Tuesday, the “Champagne Problems” singer became the first female artist in history to reach 100 million monthly listeners on Spotify. Swift is no stranger to breaking Spotify records, the 33-year-old earned the biggest streaming day for any artist in 2023 on March 19 with 67 million streams.
