TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Setting The Stage 2:10 Ticket Catastrophe Tangent 4:19 Casting Crash Out 9:39 The Myth of "Accuracy" Music: https://youtu.be/5PRFQ_FnyM8?si=OArQPCkfwPbTn3Yd Director Christopher Nolan has made some of the most spectacular films of the 21st century: "The Dark Knight," "Inception," "Interstellar," "Dunkirk" and "Oppenheimer." With each new film, the scale and ambition of Nolan's storytelling seem to reach new heights. In 2008's "The Dark Knight," the filmmaker collapsed an entire building before the Joker, played by the late Heath Ledger, sped off in a school bus. In his last film, 2023's "Oppenheimer," which won seven Academy Awards, Nolan tackled a subject of immense proportions: the nuclear bomb and the man who made it, J. Robert Oppenheimer. It's only fitting that his latest film, coming to theaters July 17, takes on a nearly-3,000-year-old Greek epic, the bard Homer's "The Odyssey." Actor Matt Damon plays Odysseus in "The Odyssey." It is his third film working with the director, having played roles in "Interstellar" and "Oppenheimer" previously. "I think what separates him from other directors is… the stories he wants to tell are incredibly ambitious. And the way he wants to tell them is incredibly ambitious," the actor told correspondent Scott Pelley in an interview. "In this case, he wanted to do it 100% in IMAX, which had never been done. And that wasn't even announced, because we didn't know if we could do it." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Because the A-listers who attended from the world of movies, TV, music, sports, fashion and the arts were dying to tell us about it — or at least strongly imply it. The union of Swift and Kelce, two of the biggest celebrities in the world, managed to completely dominate the internet despite the fact that guests reportedly had to check their phones at the door and sign NDAs. Perhaps the biggest trend of the weekend was a superstar guest posting themselves on Instagram or TikTok in an ultra-glam, black-tie fit paired with an enigmatic caption. If you know, you know.

    Is It Okay To Hate On Halsey or Supergirl?

The biggest risk would have been doing Iron Man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.” As such, the revived DC Studios under Guardians of the Galaxy franchise filmmaker James Gunn and Conjuring franchise producer Peter Safran has plans to do exactly that: Not to gavage moviegoers on a diet of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but rather build secondary DC characters into diamond properties. A 2024 Anthony Fantano video, improbably enough, is back in the conversation this week. By now, your endless scroll has alerted you to the resurfacing of the music critic and The Needle Drop personality's review of Halsey's most recent studio album as of this writing, 2024's The Great Impersonator. While Fantano handed the album "a light to decent 1," it was otherwise met with largely favorable reviews. Seemingly, though for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the review in question has received renewed attention amid coverage of Fantano's recent interview with Olivia Rodrigo, whose excellent new album you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love is currently atop the Billboard 200 chart.

On Tuesday (June 23), X posts began circulating alleging the 59-year-old fan was “jumped” while awaiting the departure of Heated Rivalry star Connor Storrie from his hotel during Paris Fashion Week. The controversial figure was criticized for her seemingly parasocial and obsessive relationship with the young actor, frequently seeing his movies multiple times in theaters, attending premieres and sightings, and maintaining popular social media accounts dedicated to Chalamet, which occasionally included a vocal disdain for his relationship with Kylie Jenner. Cromer would go on to distance herself from the actor after his failed awards campaign for Marty Supreme, for which he left empty-handed from all the major ceremonies. In an Instagram post announcing the shocking move, she wrote, “Things have changed in this fandom in such a significant way that we also have to adjust to the changes and focus on other interests that simply bring us joy.” Learn more about your ad choices.

The superstar singer delivered the second of four performances in Los Angeles on The Eternal Sunshine Tour, and 90 minutes through the show Grande stopped to address the crowd, which responded to her comments with wild cheers and applause. “Thank you so much, oh my god. L.A., thank you so much. Are you kidding? What the hell? I’ve never in my life experienced a crowd like this,” Grande said as she got emotional and wiped away tears with a gloved hand while wearing custom Vivienne Westwood, Christian Louboutin boots and Swarovski jewelry. “This is so overwhelming in the most beautiful way ever. Thank you so much for being so loving. Holy moly. I said holy moly, but I meant it, you know.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

That’s among the takeaways from the Season 3 finale of “Euphoria,” an episode that brought its primary characters to some version or another of closure. Rue (Zendaya) dies before the episode’s midpoint, after which Ali (Colman Domingo) must avenge her. Meanwhile, Cassie (Sydney Sweeney) seems set up for her future as an OnlyFans mogul, but still has ways to go in terms of healing the wounds left by her brief, turbulent marriage to the late Nate (Jacob Elordi). And there’s a sweet tribute to Fezco (played in the first two seasons by Angus Cloud), in some ways the soul of “Euphoria.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
