(SPOILERS for this week’s Euphoria will be found below.)

This week on Euphoria, Lexi is at centerstage (quite literally) and she debuts her play, Oklahoma. She’s spent most of the season working on it, and this week marks the grand opening for it. Oklahoma is a direct reflection of Lexi’s life as it includes characters that play Rue, Maddy, Kat, Cassie, Nate, and more. In episode six, Lexi expresses concerns with Fez about how her friends would feel about the way they were depicted in the play. All in all, Oklahoma strikes as an honest tale of the world that is Euphoria and its respective dynamics from Lexi’s point of view.

Just like last week’s episode, which featured songs by Method Man, Mary J. Blige, Ben E. King, and more, this week on of Euphoria also featured a great selection of songs. The aforementioned events in this week’s episode are soundtracked by carefully curated songs that help to accentuate the emotions behind each scene.

What Songs Were In ‘Euphoria’ S2E7?

The songs that soundtracked the standout moments on this week’s episode of Euphoria are Captain & Tenille’s “Love Will Kep Us Together” and Bonnie Tyler’s “Holding Out For A Hero.” Captain & Tenille’s record plays in the background as Lexi reveals the cast to Oklahoma, and as Rue, Maddy, Kat, Cassie, Nate, and others sit in attendance, they quickly realize that the cast looks a lot like them. Bonnie Tyler’s song plays as Nate’s football team is emulated with a shirtless dance routine that’s set in the weight room. It’s one that causes Nate to walk out of the theater before the play concludes.

The soundtrack for this week’s episode also includes the following songs:
Piero Picconi — “Amore Mio Aiutami”
Ennio Morricone — “Uno Che Grida Amore”
Air — “The Word Hurricane”
Francis Lai — “Vivre Pour Vivre”
Activa — “Daydream (Original Mix)”
Bobby Darin — “More”
Alex North — “Spartacus Love Theme”
Tweet — “Oops (Oh My)”
Armando Trovajoli — “Surrender (From II Commissario Pepe)”
Labrinth — “What’s Up”
Riz Ortolani — “Cannibal Holocaust”

HBO’s ‘Euphoria’ airs on Sundays at 9:00pm EST.

(SPOILERS for this week’s Power Book IV: Force will be found below.)

As a fan of his music, it’s been good seeing Jeremih on the small screen these past few weeks. It’s been more than six years since we received an album from Jeremih, which his last project being 2015’s Late Night. However, he’s still active in the music world as he appears on the theme song for Power Book IV: Force. “Power Powder Respect” also features 50 Cent, who created the Power series, and Lil Durk, who along with Jeremih, hails from Chicago where the show is based in. However, there’s more to Jeremih’s involvement in Power Book IV: Force.

Jeremih also plays Elijah who is the right-hand man to Jenard, the younger brother of Diamond who currently runs the CBI gang. Jenard was previously in charge of CBI while Diamond was in jail, but following his release, Jenard reluctantly surrendered the throne. Elijah makes his first impression in Power Book IV: Force nearly coming to blows with Tommy during their first meeting. Just like Jenard, Elijah is not too fond of Tommy and seeks to get rid of him in the most efficient or quickest way possible, whichever comes first.

New episodes of STARZ’s ‘Power Book IV: Force’ are available to watch on Sunday at 12:00am EST.

Donald and Stephen Glover Recount Being Racially Harassed In London While Filming Season 3 Of “Atlanta”

Donald Glover Helped Write Punch Lines in 'Black Panther'

While speaking at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour earlier this week, Donald Glover and his brother Stephen Glover recounted a racist experience the cast and crew of “Atlanta” had while filming in London.

Stephen said that they and some other cast and crew were approached by a group of drunk people asking if they knew of any local bars in the area. One of the men in the group then insisted that the primarily Black cast and crew were carrying guns so that they could break into any bar they wanted to.

“Mind you, all of the writers on Atlanta are Black. So, he’s making a reference that we all have hammers, and we can just break into this place, which we kind of ignored,” Stephen Glover said. “It was so insulting, but not insulting at the same time because it took us five minutes to fully understand. He got to a point of like if the insinuation was lost on us, he got specific and he was like, ‘You guys are Black, you’ve gone to jail and you do things like that.’ Like he kept doubling down on it.”

The guys in the group continued, telling the one woman that was with them that the Atlanta crew was going to “rape” her.

“We are just standing there, like, ‘What just happened,’” Donald Glover chimed in.

Stephen concluded the story, saying that “The girl was literally, like, ‘I’m sorry,’ as she’s being taken away. So, it was pretty bad.”

Season 3 of Atlanta premieres on March 24, with Season 4 premiering later this year as well.

Bob Saget’s Final Role Before He Died Was As A Chef In Desiigner’s Video With Snoop Dogg And A Pornstar

by

Would you believe that the filthy-mouthed Bob Saget, who tricked the world into believing him to be a wholesome Dad on Full House, put a final bow on his legacy in a rap video with a pornstar? Heck yes he did. Bob Saget’s last role before he tragically died of a fatal head injury was as a bacon-frying and cash-grabbing chef in Desiigner’s latest video for “Bakin.”

Saget was featured in the video alongside Snoop Dogg, Jay Pharoah, pornstar Kendra Sunderland, and the track’s artists Desiigner, DJ Whoo Kid, and Slushii. “Please believe me when I tell you this: Get Bob on the job,” Snoop Dogg says to Desiigner as the hilarious and raunchy video begins. Shot in the Hollywood Hills a few weeks before his death, Rolling Stone reports that Whoo Kid corralled Saget, whom he already knew, after Willie Nelson wasn’t available.

A minute of outtakes plays after the video clip (above) in remembrance of the late comedian and in them, he’s funny as hell. “I’m just here to have bacon,” he says, before noting that “Bakin”/bacon is “a supreme pun. It’s like the best Dad joke ever.”

“You don’t expect him to be sitting around here with all these bad models, and booties-a-clapping and racks being thrown and Desiigner being there doing his thing,” Pharaoh told Rolling Stone. “But it works because that’s what Bob’s whole spirit was. It was different. It was, ‘Put me in an odd place that you wouldn’t expect for me to be and watch me shine.’”

There was nary a room that Saget walked into that he didn’t light up. And he somehow manages to steal the show in a video featuring rappers, pornstars, money, and bacon. “Full House, Nick At Nite, Bob Saget used to rock me to sleep at night, man,” Desiigner added.

Netflix’s ‘Stranger Things’ Season 4 Release Dates for Part 1 and Part 2 Announced

by
stranger things 4 crop

If you’re a fan of Netflix’s Stranger Things and you felt like you’ve been waiting too long for a new season, good news, the wait is almost over.

Starting with Season 4, Netflix said it will be split into two volumes, the first of which will be released on May 27. The second part will follow five weeks later, debuting on July 1. This is not a unique release strategy for Netflix, as the company also broke Ozark Season 4 into two parts.

Creators Matt and Ross Duffer said they wanted to split Stranger Things Season 4 into two parts due to its “unprecedented length.” The season had nine scripts and more than 800 pages, and it required two years of filming and “thousands” of VFX shots, the Duffer brothers said in a note to fans. The total runtime for Season 4 is almost twice the length of any of the previous seasons, and the brothers said Season 4 was the “most challenging season yet, but also the most rewarding one.”

The brothers also confirmed that the fifth season of Stranger Things is coming, and it will be the last. “Seven years ago, we planned out the complete story arc for Stranger Things. At the time, we predicted the story would last four to five seasons. It proved too large to tell in four…” they said.

No word yet as to when season 5 of Stranger Things will arrive. In the meantime, we will have an extended season 4 after a long two-year absence.

‘Real Husbands of Hollywood’ Showrunner Praises Writers For Bringing the Funny in New Season

by
First Look: 'Real Husbands of Hollywood: - More Kevin, More Problems' Set for Feb. 2022

The Real Husbands of Hollywood returns to BET+ after a nearly 6-year hiatus since the premiere of its fifth season. The original cast Kevin Hart, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin, JB Smoove, Nelly, Nick Cannon, Robin Thicke, and more, reunite for a six-part limited series.

This season, similar to the past, is filled with celebrity guest appearances that have no issue stepping into the comedic landscape to serve the audience.

“I think Duane said it best,” says Boris Kodjoe. “We never said goodbye.”

Wayne Stamps, the series’ showrunner for season 6, says the timing of the revival could not have come at a better time.

“I just feel like now is the perfect time because people just need to laugh…. to relieve pressure and stress. There’s no show better that’s doing that than this.”

This season, similar to the past, is filled with celebrity guest appearances that have no issue stepping into the comedic landscape to serve the audience.

This revival is titled: ‘The Real Husbands of Hollywood – More Kevin, More Problem.

“The impetus for this season started with our conversation with Kevin. We asked him, ‘how are you doing all of this with so much going on in your life’” says Stamps. “Kevin does a great job of exaggerating his life on screen as well, which is a big help.”

Stamp credits the writing staff for building each episode with a comedic cliff-hanging sequence as “each episode gets more funny.”

Hart, who hilariously teased the show nearly a decade ago while hosting the 2012 BET Awards, is more booked and busy than ever. Hart is cloned to physically fulfill his personal and professional commitments with a jam-packed schedule.

What may have seemed like a good idea takes an unexpected turn that Kevin and the guys do their best to get control of? The guys are pulled into Kevin’s cloned chaos but have a dramady of their own.

“The best thing about this show is we all get made fun of equally,” says Robin Thicke.

atlanta tv show

Despite season 3 of Donald Glover’s hit show Atlanta having not aired yet, an end for the critically acclaimed show has been set. FX CEO John Landgraf revealed Thursday that the show’s fourth season would be it’s last.

John Landgraf said that the fourth and final season of Atlanta will be released sometime this fall. “The fourth and final season [of Atlanta] is slated to debut in the same manner this fall,” Landgraf said. After announcing that the show will end, he went on to say that the upcoming seasons will be everything fans love about Atlanta and to “expect the unexpected.”

Shortly after it was announced that season for of Atlanta would be the show’s last, Donald Glover came out and defended the decision to end the show so soon. Glover spoke at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour where he defended the decision.

“Death is natural,” Glover said. “I feel like when the conditions are right for something, they happen, and when the conditions aren’t right, they don’t happen. I don’t feel any longevity. Because then things start to get weird.”

Glover added, “The story was always supposed to be what it was. And the story, it really was us,” he continued. “Everybody in that writers’ room, everybody on set. It really was what we were going through and what we talked about. … I think it ends perfectly.”

Glover has been extremely busy in the last couple of years. Just last year, Glover inked an 8-figure deal with Amazon Studios. As a part of his new deal, Glover was able to finish both seasons of Atlanta back to back, which will release later this year.
