Why it is trending: Telehealth’s “Cool Job” is sparking buzz ahead of their Sub Pop debut as the band weaponise danceable synth-punk against tech optimism, hustle culture, and the glossy illusion of modern “progress.”Telehealth are a Seattle-based synth-punk conglomerate formed by Alexander Attitude and Kendra Cox alongside Ian McCutcheon, John O’Connor, and Dillon Sturtevant. Emerging from the Pacific Northwest, the group treat contemporary culture like a product line — dissecting burnout, branding, gig-economy ambition, and algorithm-driven identity with sharp hooks and taut, club-ready tension. Their sound fuses art rock, new wave, and nervy post-punk with sleek, industrial-tinged synths, capturing the friction between…

You can go back about 100 years and still find movies that are honestly pretty exciting, like The General, which is mind-blowing for 1926, and also kind of mind-blowing for 2026, really. The 20th century was a good time to be thrilled at the movies, if that was your thing, what with Alfred Hitchcock doing his thing, action movies really taking off, as a genre, post-Seven Samurai, and then cinema getting more exciting and risk-taking in nature from the late 1960s onwards. Below, though, is a focus on thrillers made after the year 2000. The 21st century’s most exciting thrillers…

Disney is known for many things, but its franchises are one of the biggest pillars of the company. With the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Star Wars, Alien, Predator, Toy Story, Avatar, Frozen, Moana, and more under its IP umbrella, the Mouse House is frequently behind massive hit sequels that are adored by audiences. Last year was another example of this. The studio backed three new Marvel movies, James Cameron’s third Avatar, two entries in the Predator franchise, a third Tron, and even a Freaky Friday sequel. And the sequel love will continue in a major way in 2026,…

Modern celebrities are a little like social media algorithms. Express an interest in something once, and you’ll be inundated with it for the next six months. Did you like that funny video of an otter? Well, that’s all you’re getting for the foreseeable future. A similar thing has happened with Glen Powell – after stealing the show in Top Gun: Maverick and proving his star wattage in Hit Man, he’s become a bonafide A‑Lister and the studios can’t get enough. After starring in Edgar Wright’s tame reworking of The Running Man last autumn, he’s back to eat the rich again in John Patton…

Fans of classic TV from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s rejoiced this week when it was announced that the Brady Bunch house — or at least the one used for the exterior shots — would officially be designated a historic-cultural landmark.

Fans of Taylor Sheridan and Westerns as a whole have no shortage of TV shows to watch. Currently airing, for example, is the fourth season of Mayor of Kingstown and the second season of Landman, with the third season of Tulsa King recently coming to an end. But while Westerns might be left and right these days, Hallmark is betting on the genre for their new upcoming series, Hope Valley: 1874.

The Pixar name used to signify indisputable quality for an animated film, but their light has dimmed in the past decade with a string of underwhelming releases. While Luca, Lightyear and Elio would be considered solid hits by any other studio’s metrics and Elemental and Inside Out 2 certainly brought home the bacon, there’s a sensation that the studio has become a victim of its own success and seems content to now coast by on the strength of former glories (Toy Story 5 hits cinemas this summer with The Incredibles 3 currently in the works) rather than innovate. To their credit, Pixar seems to keep hiring…
