INTERVIEW: The McManus brothers murder their way through the multiverse in ‘Redux Redux’ 🎬⁠ ⁠ If you’ve been anywhere near a cinema in the last few years, then you’ll know fine well that the multiverse is big business these days. However, you won’t have seen it explored the way it is in writers, directors, and siblings Kevin and Matthew McManus’ Redux Redux.⁠ ⁠ In an age where Marvel and DC, Hollywood’s two biggest comic book behemoths, have been exploring alternate realities, and in a time when Everything Everywhere All at Once traversed the multiverse all the way to a ‘Best Picture’ win at the Academy Awards, the McManus brothers have found a fresh spin.⁠ ⁠ Starring their sibling, Michaela, in the lead role, the ambitious blend of high-concept sci-fi and revenge thriller finds the actor’s Irene Kelly moving from one timeline to the next with only one goal in mind; tracking down and killing the man responsible for her daughter’s disappearance and murder in her own reality before he ge

‘You’re the Voice’: The massive Australian hit that totally flopped in the US faroutmagazine.co.uk/massive-australian-hit-that-totally-flopped-in-us/

For Bruce Springsteen, music wasn’t just about the catchy three-minute single. Sure, that was the medium everyone worked in, but if you used it well enough, the best songs in the world hit someone on a visceral level to the point where they could re-evaluate their lives by the time the song was over. 🔥🎤 That might take a lot of practice for any songwriter to achieve, but a lot of that also came from ‘The Boss’ looking at some of the icons that laid the groundwork for his persona.

TRACK OF THE WEEK: Pulp - 'Begging For Change' ⏯️⁠ ⁠ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁠ ⁠ 🗣 "Calling for real, tangible change is a tough game in today’s landscape. But if anybody can do it in the right way, it’s Sheffield’s very own working-class mouthpiece, Pulp.⁠ ⁠ Following contributions by Arctic Monkeys, Depeche Mode, Wet Leg, and more, Pulp’s ‘Begging for Change’ does exactly what it says on the tin – beckons you to straighten up and really think about the world around you. In keeping with this direct approach, Jarvis Cocker’s accompanying remark on the track highlighted their previous efforts with War Child and what this new single means as a notable addition.⁠ ⁠ The best part of the song is how commanding it is, from the first notes straight through to the end. The chorus of voices, featuring Albarn along with Fontaines D.C.’s Grian Chatten, The Libertines’ Carl Barât, and Kae Tempest, set the tone with a punkish clarion call, while Mark Webber’s guitar work marks a diversion from the band’s most rece
