Alice Cooper has released a video for "White Line Frankenstein." Tom Morello plays the guitar solo on the track. In a release, Cooper stated: "“White Line Frankenstein is a monster that we created. It’s a truck driver who’s been out there a long time. He's the king of the road. He doesn't live in a house.

<p>In retrospect, Warner Bros.’ decision to put their slate out on HBO Max may have had another silver lining beyond simply allowing subscribers to watch Dune at home. The company wide-chaos it inspired, which is still being litigated to this very day, freed Christopher Nolan from his longtime studio home and allowed him to make a different kind of film than the one he’d spent the last 20-odd years producing for WB. It may not surprise you that Nolan’s heart […]</p>
