CTate McRae's new single 'Housewife' is out, and the video's shot in the South of France.
LShe's really leaning into that whole cinematic, glamorous era.
CPop Crave says Kim Kardashian posted herself streaming it. I couldn't confirm that part.
LKim K streaming Tate McRae? That's a crossover I didn't see coming.
CThe song itself is real, and it's been getting a lot of love since it dropped.
LI think 'Housewife' is her most confident single yet. The production is so sharp.
CIt's got that dark, moody pop thing she does so well. Very 'Sports Car' energy.
LSpeaking of moody, a fan on X just posted about Taylor Swift's 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.'
CLet me guess, it's about blocking an ex?
LExactly. The post says when the playlist shuffles to that song, you realize you need to block his number.
CTaylor Swift knows best. That's the caption.
LIt's a joke, but it's also a whole mood. That song is the ultimate breakup anthem.
CIt's been over a decade and it still hits. The way she says 'we are never ever ever getting back together' is iconic.
LI think it's her most fun breakup song. It's not sad, it's just... done.
CRight, it's the 'I'm so over you' song. And the music video is so playful.
LBut here's my hot take: 'All Too Well' is the better breakup song.
COh, come on. 'All Too Well' is a masterpiece, but it's a different kind of breakup.
LIt's the devastating one. 'Never Ever' is the one you blast in the car with your friends.
CExactly. One is for crying, one is for moving on. They're both perfect for what they are.
LFair. But if I have to pick one to listen to right now, it's 'Never Ever.'
CI'll allow it. Now, a different kind of fan post: someone on X is trying to name a ship.
LA ship? Like a relationship?
CYeah, they want to call 'Elegy x Drake' something. They suggested 'black fate' like the Arcaea story.
LArcaea? That's a rhythm game, right?
CYes, and apparently it has a story called 'Black Fate.' The fan thinks it fits.
LI have no idea what 'Elegy' is in this context, but I respect the creativity.
CIt's a very specific reference. But that's what fan culture is all about.
LHonestly, ship names are an art form. Some of them are genius.
CAnd some of them are... 'black fate.' Which sounds like a metal band.
LIt does. But I'm not going to judge. The fans are having fun.
CMeanwhile, Deadline is reporting that Marvel's 'Zodiac' spy series has found its writers.
LAmit Cohen and Ron Leshem are set to write it for Disney+.
CThey're Israeli screenwriters, known for intense, character-driven drama.
LThat's an interesting choice for Marvel. 'Zodiac' is supposed to be a spy thriller.
CRight, it follows a pair of spies chasing targets. Very different from the usual superhero fare.
LI'm actually excited about this. Marvel needs to branch out more.
CAgreed. The spy genre could be a great fit for the MCU's darker side.
LAnd Cohen and Leshem have the pedigree. They did 'False Flag' and 'No Man's Land.'
CSo they know how to build tension. This could be really good.
LLet's hope Disney gives them room to make it actually thrilling.
CIn other industry news, Deadline says Tony Lipp and Dara Gordon have joined Entertainment 360 as partners.
LThat's a big management company. Lipp joins the board, Gordon opens the New York office.
CThey're both well-respected talent managers. This is a power move.
LIt's the kind of behind-the-scenes news that matters if you follow the business side.
CAnd finally, Deadline reports that Laysla De Oliveira and Riccardo Scamarcio have wrapped on a sci-fi thriller called 'Telephone.'
LGale Anne Hurd is among the executive producers. That's a strong team.
CDe Oliveira is great in 'Lioness.' Scamarcio is a fantastic Italian actor.
LThe story sounds creepy: a woman abducted by her mysterious neighbors.
CThat's a classic setup. I'm curious to see how they handle it.
LWith Hurd producing, it'll probably have some real edge.
CThat's the show for now. We'll be back with more music and culture talk.
