<p>How do you know it’s Virgo season? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you — probably in advance, because they’re just that detail-oriented.

Or, in the case of Virgo musicians, collecting beats and meticulous rhyme-writing. Cue “BIG VIRGO ENERGY,” the new single from Brandie Blaze, Ashanti Eva Davenport, and Kasia Lavon. The Rilla Force-produced collaboration from the Boston artists arrived […]</p>

<p>In case you haven’t heard, there’s a new Darren Aronofsky movie, Caught Stealing, that’s essentially being shadow-dropped into theaters this weekend, despite being directed by a Big Name and starring one — Elvis himself, Austin Butler — as well. This is, well, weird. In the yo-yo arc of Aronofsky’s career, he should be on the upswing, having been given a second second chance with The Whale and helping win Brendan Fraser an Oscar in the process, and it feels like […]</p>

<p>Honestly, it makes a ton of sense that Yorgos Lanthimos would remake Jang Jun-Hwan’s Save the Green Planet. Not only is it perfect for Lanthimosian comedy, but that 2003 South Korean sci-fi comedy was prescient in a way that very few films are lucky enough to be. We live, after all, in an era where its plot wouldn’t seem particularly out of place on the New York Times front page — a conspiracy theorist kidnapping a CEO because they think […]</p>
