These days, it's not easy to keep track of all the different streaming services you may be subscribed to. It can take hours to sift through the libraries on Netflix, Prime Video, or Hulu in search of the best movies you can watch for free. Take, for instance, Paramount+. Since it was launched in its current form in 2021, Paramount+ has been a home for original programming like "Halo" and "Knuckles," as well as content from CBS, Nickelodeon, and Showtime. 

When opening up the platform's Movies section, it's overwhelming to see the spectrum of films and genres to search through. You could watch classics like "The Godfather" or "Forrest Gump," both of which are currently on Paramount+, but what about films you might not easily find on the front page? From the most iconic films of all time to more recent indie hits, these 15 films will guarantee you a great movie night,...

When Morrissey attempted to reunite the New York Dolls in 2004 for a performance at London’s Meltdown festival, he thought his odds of success were low. “I expected David [Johansen] to laugh at me and put the phone down,” he said that year. “But he was very agreeable and it seemed like now was the right time. He said, ‘Yes, they are great songs.’ I said, ‘Yes, and that’s the reason why you should sing them. That’s the reason why people still want to hear them.’”

Prior to Morrissey’s call,...

Producer/songwriter Andrew Watt went from the pop world to finding himself in the studio with his rock heroes, from the Rolling Stones to Pearl Jam — and now he’s back at the center of pop as executive producer of Lady Gaga’s upcoming album Mayhem. His career is reaching new heights at the moment, with a Grammy win for the Stones’ Hackney Diamonds, an Oscar nomination for a track with Elton John and Brandi Carlile (who have a Watt-produced dual album on the way), and a long run...

It was the “Footloose” of times, it was the “Ninja Rap” of times. We’re talking, of course, about the golden age of movie tie-in promotional singles of the ‘80s and ‘90s, a time when a well-placed theme could create the song and the movie of the summer, while a misused one probably involved Mc Hammer. In between were a lot of attempts that nobody remembers, because what was the point of making a movie if you couldn’t coerce a pop star to sell their soul for a lot of money?

No More Mr. Nice Buys Season 23 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Pawn Stars,” titled “No More Mr. Nice Buys,” promises to deliver excitement and drama as the team encounters some unique items. In this episode, a piece of rock history arrives at the shop when an outfit allegedly worn by the legendary Alice Cooper comes through the door. This rare item is sure to grab Rick’s attention, and he is determined to strike a deal that reflects its value. Fans can expect to see Rick negotiate hard, as he shifts into a more serious mode to secure this iconic piece.

Meanwhile, Chum is ready to show his own business savvy. He sets his sights on a 7-foot tall Deadpool Pez dispenser, which is not only eye-catching but also a fun collectible. Chum’s approach becomes more ruthless as he makes an...

Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance at Sunday’s Super Bowl was the most-watched in history, with more than 133 million people tuning in — and it also may have been the most uncompromising. In a slot that every previous artist has reserved mostly for greatest hits, Lamar only played bits of two older songs, focusing instead on his excellent new album, Gnx, and his Drake-eviscerating smash, “Not Like Us.”

On the latest episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, Brittany Spanos and Rob Sheffield join host Brian Hiatt to break down the...

Rick Harrison, son Corey and Austin “Chumlee” Russell are back wheeling and dealing for Season 23 of Pawn Stars. The three welcome property owners to add to the inventory of Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas. The premiere saw Rick meet up with 1980s and 1990s hit-maker Taylor Dayne to give the owner the opportunity to acquire some wardrobe pieces and memorabilia from her tours. During the January 29 episode, Rick, a noted car guy, takes a ride in a bright yellow 1975 Bricklin Sv-1 and looks at a Shyvers Multiphone that gets him thinking about his late dad. The one on February 5 included everything from a Stock Oil stock certificate to a camera that shot the first footage of Elvis. Coming up during the February 12 episode the three take a look at an apparent outfit worn by Alice Cooper, a 7-foot tall Deadpool Pez dispenser, MetaZoo cards and a 1988 Winter Olympics torch.

Alice Cooper has added Spring and Summer 2025 US dates to his ongoing “Too Close for Comfort Tour.”

The spring leg runs from May 2nd in Huntsville, Alabama, through May 24th in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and includes a May 9th appearance at the Sonic Temple festival in Columbus, Ohio. The Og shock rocker will then follow his one-off gig opening for My Chemical Romance on August 15th in Philadelphia with a series of summer headlining shows from August 19th in Salem, Virginia, through August 30th in Memphis, Tennessee.

We’re celebrating 50 years of “Saturday Night Live”! All this week, we’re digging into the late-night comedy institution with new stories, including lists, essays, interviews, and more.

When “The Blues Brothers” hit theaters in 1980, it opened a Pandora’s Box that would eventually gift Hollywood films like “Wayne’s World” and curse it with abominations like “It’s Pat” and “Coneheads.” John Landis’ ultra-cool film about two brothers on a mission from God to get the band back together was bursting with Chicago blues performances, epic car chases, and enough celebrity cameos to fill a season of “Saturday Night Live.” Grossing over $100 million on a $27 million budget, it proved to many that characters who originated on Lorne Michaels’ NBC variety show were more than capable of carrying their own feature film.

In theory, that was true. With “SNL” exploding in popularity and Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi wading into movie stardom,...

The excitement is building for the latest episode of “Pawn Stars,” titled “No More Mr. Nice Buys.” This season 23 episode promises to deliver some thrilling moments when a unique piece of rock history arrives at the counter. An outfit that supposedly belonged to the legendary Alice Cooper will have Rick on high alert as he tries to strike a deal. Fans of the show know that Rick is no stranger to tough negotiations, and this time, he might have to bring his A-game to secure this iconic item.

Meanwhile, Chumlee is ready to take a bold approach with a striking 7-foot tall Deadpool Pez dispenser. Known for his playful antics, Chumlee is set to turn mercenary as he makes a daring offer for this giant collectible. The stakes are high, and his enthusiasm could lead to some unexpected twists.

As the episode unfolds, viewers can expect plenty of banter, negotiation tactics,...

In the beginning, R.E.M. would play anywhere that would have them, from pizza parlors to gay bars to frat parties. For all the arty elusiveness of their early music, the band that would end up setting the template for the Nineties alt-rock boom was hungrier and more strategic than it might have seemed — which is just one of many revelations in Peter Ames Carlin’s illuminating new book, The Name of This Band Is R.E.M.: A Biography.

In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, Carlin...

Fans have been waiting a long time to see writer/director Macon Blair’s remake of the Troma cult classic The Toxic Avenger (watch it Here), which wrapped filming way back in 2021 and unveiled a teaser trailer near the end of 2023, around the time it had its world premiere screening. Earlier this month, it was announced that Cineverse had acquired the distribution rights with the intention of giving the film an unrated wide release later this year. Now, we know the exact release date. Deadline has learned that the Toxic Avenger remake will be reaching theatres on August 29th, kicking off Labor Day weekend!

Blair’s version of The Toxic Avenger stars Peter Dinklage as Winston Gooze, a stereotypical weakling who works as a janitor at Garb-x health club and is diagnosed with a terminal illness that can only be cured by an expensive treatment that his greedy, power hungry employer refuses to pay for.

Founded in 2004, the comic book publishing company Dynamite Entertainment got started with a comic book continuation of Sam Raimi’s 1992 horror comedy classic Army of Darkness. Soon after, they started publishing a book that starred the popular sword-and-sorcery character Red Sonja. Over the years, Dynamite has sent a lot of Army of Darkness crossover comics into the world, having hero Ash Williams cross paths with the likes of Herbert West, Re-Animator; Darkman, the Marvel Zombies, Xena: Warrior Princess, the characters from Hack/Slash, Vampirella, Kiss, and Elvis Presley (from Bubba Ho-Tep), among others. Now, to celebrate the company’s 20th anniversary, Dynamite is having Ash and Red Sonja team up for the crossover comic book mini-series Red Sonja vs. The Army of Darkness!

SuperHeroHype reports that Red Sonja vs. The Army of Darkness will find wise-cracking Deadite slayer Ashley “Ash” J. Williams hurled through time and space. This time, however,...

Leave it to A24 to always make an impression at a festival — and Monday night it left the entire Eccles transfixed and locked in their seats with the premiere of Mark Anthony Green’s directorial debut Opus. It was like everyone was in movie church. While there were some laughs in the topsy-turvy movie, it’s fair to say that the crowd was indeed stunned.

The pic is a trippy genre movie that follows reclusive rock star Moretti (John Malkovich), who emerges after being decades away to invite a group of journalists to his cult compound.

Events go sideways in a Midsommar kind of way, and The Bear‘s Ayo Edebiri plays one of the journalists who is part of the experience, and is surrounded by all the crazies — ala her character on The Bear.

Green is a former GQ writer and editor. While there wasn’t one pop idol that Moretti was inspired by,...

Former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke is joining Alice Cooper’s touring band on the shock rocker’s winter US tour. Clarke is stepping in for Orianthi, who had been set to fill in for Nita Strauss.

According to a press release, Orianthi is unable to participate in the tour “due to unforeseen circumstances.” The one-time Alice Cooper guitarist had been set to reprise her role in the band because Strauss is supporting Apocalyptica during the same timeframe.

The outing kicks off this Friday (January 31st) in Augusta, Georgia, and runs through a February 11th gig in St. Augustine, Florida, with tickets available here. Clarke will also be on board for Cooper’s headlining appearance on the Rock Legends Cruise from February 13th through 17th.

Steven Tyler doesn’t want to miss a thing, so he’s reuniting Aerosmith for his 6th annual Grammys viewing party.

They’ll be joined by A-listers like Billy Idol, Joan Jett, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Linda Perry, Matt Sorum, Nuno Bettencourt, and Lainey Wilson for the philanthropic event on Sunday, Feb. 2 at the Hollywood Palladium. Tiffany Haddish will serve as host. (See Gold Derby’s Grammy predictions.)

Aerosmith announced its retirement from touring in 2024 after Tyler fractured his larynx the year prior. The four-time Grammy-winning rock band consists of lead vocalist Tyler, bassist Hamilton, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarists Perry and Brad Whitford. This will mark Aerosmith’s first time performing together since Sept. 9, 2023.

As usual, Tyler’s Grammys viewing party is sponsored by Janie’s Fund, the initiative he created in order to bring hope and healing to girls and young women who have experienced trauma. More than...

As sympathy pours in for the devastated families and businesses scattered around fire-ravaged Los Angeles, resentment is creeping toward the Hollywood Sign.

Tourists accidentally sparked controversy on social media last Tuesday when they asked about the iconic landmark amid record-breaking wildfires in LA. The hilltop monument wasn’t anywhere near the destructive blazes that night — the fires were too busy destroying residential communities then — but the thought pulled focus from real relief efforts.

Despite the insistence of several apocalyptic films (“Escape from LA” among them), the Hollywood Sign has never caught fire. It was erected from wood and sheet metal in 1923 to promote the “Hollywoodland” housing development and, in keeping with current events, fell into disrepair because of extreme winds. That lead to the 50-foot-tall letters’ restoration in 1978, an effort fortified in white steel and funded by several entertainment heavyweights including Alice Cooper and Warner Bros.

Out-of-towners had their concerns...

Marcus J. Moore, author of 2020’s The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America, initially assumed it was too late to follow it with a book about one of his favorite hip-hop groups of all time, De La Soul. “My first thought was, ‘Oh, well, clearly I can’t do that, because there’s already been a book written,'” he says on the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now. “And then much to my surprise, there wasn’t one.” (To hear the whole episode,...

In the fall of 1990, inside a fully functional second floor magic shop located above a methadone clinic on Hollywood Boulevard, Bryan Rabin made his first splash on the Los Angeles nightlife scene (alongside his partner, the late actor Jimmy Medina) with a traveling, if extralegal, after hours club called The Lounge. “It was the Wild West. We’d just drive around at night and look for spots. I was 20 years old, full of moxie, and we’d just tell people we wanted to throw a bar mitzvah in their space,” recalls Rabin, noting the club migrated from photography and film studios to empty lofts and attracted everyone from Billy Idol to Thierry Mugler and Wolfgang Puck to dance there. “We moved every week to keep away from the police and had to call or fax everyone the day of each party.”

From there, he opened Prague in a Czechoslovakian meeting hall on Western Avenue,...

Radiohead have had a spy in their midst for years. As his excellent new book, How to Disappear: A Portrait of Radiohead, reveals, bassist Colin Greenwood has been snapping candid, lovely photographs of his bandmates since the early 2000s — in the studio, in dressing rooms, and even, somehow, onstage during the middle of their concerts.

In the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now, Greenwood — who just finished a tour playing bass with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds — talks about his book, looks back at highlights of his years in the band,...

Rob Halford, Alice Cooper, and singer-songwriter Brandon Jenner recently teamed up for the children’s holiday song “My Christmas List,” and a new animated lyric video for the track has been unveiled.

The tune is a joyous rock-and-roll romp with a shared vocal effort from the three singers. Halford sounds amazing on his verses, singing with as much passion and professionalism as he would on a Judas Priest song.

The charming video also sees Alice Cooper in cartoon-form delivering a positive holiday message for all the kids out there listening.

Dana Kamide penned the music for the song, which can be found on the Rock for Children debut album, Solid Rock Revival. We previously reported on another fun song from the album, “Freewheelin,'” featuring Alice alongside his daughter Calico Cooper and Slash.

“When Orianthi moved on to pursue her own career in 2014, we were lucky to find Nita,” Cooper stated in a press release. “Over the past decade, Nita, Chuck [Garric], and Tommy [Henriksen] have also launched their own projects, and we always try to coordinate our schedule so we can keep the band together, but these shows came up after Nita had already committed to another tour.

Some lessons need to be learned over and over again. When Bob Dylan and the Beatles broke through in the Sixties, they paved the way for generations of artists to write their own songs. But by the early 2000s, the charts had been largely reclaimed by pro songwriters and svengali producers — until a young, putatively country artist named Taylor Swift came along.

As Swift rapidly moved toward pop stardom, guitar always in hand, she started an industry-wide movement toward artists — especially young women — writing about their own lives again. “When...

The NCIS season 21 finale had massive repercussions for the Major Case Response Team and their season 22 story. In the NCIS season 21 finale, the team is investigating the discovery of three bodies on a decommissioned Navy ship that's scheduled to be sunk. When NCIS Supervisory Agent Alden Parker (Gary Cole) and Special Agent Jessica Knight (Katrina Law) get locked inside the ship, it sets the course for NCIS season 22.

Jess is processing the job offer from NCIS Director Leon Vance (Rocky Carroll) and how her potential role as React Chief will affect her relationship with Dr. Jimmy Palmer (Brian Dietzen). She and Parker get locked inside the ship's engine room, and as Parker is losing blood after a metal support pillar falls on his leg, conversations between Parker and Knight seemingly set up major shifts in the NCISverse. It's been a pivotal season for the flagship series,...

Decades never start quite on time, pop-culturally speaking, and it’s tempting to say that the Sixties didn’t really kick off until the Beatles played The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, just as “Smells Like Teen Spirt” started the Nineties in 1991. But as David Browne’s new book, Talkin’ Greenwich Village: The Heady Rise and Slow Fall of America’s Bohemian Music Capital, suggests, the Sixties’ spirit really began in Greenwich Village, not Liverpool — and the music that really got it going was written by Bob Dylan. In June of 1963, Peter,...

But years before “Africa” and “Rosanna” hit the airwaves, he was a session guitarist that backed everyone from Boz Scaggs and Diana Ross to Alice Cooper, Jimmy Cliff, Jackson Browne, and Peter Criss. He kept up a double life as a studio musician throughout the the entire history of the band, backing other artists whenever Toto had even a tiny moment of downtime.

However, multiple other now-famous CW actors were considered for these lead roles, making for some of Gilmore Girls' biggest "What ifs?"

Creator Amy Sherman-Palladino knew she had something special in Gilmore Girls with its cozy New England vibes and sugary-sweet small-town antics. Each episode had pages of whip-smart pop-culture references and endless banter between Lorelai and Rory. Lorelai, in particular, would have been a challenging role to cast when she is a very flawed yet endearing character. Graham's performance is one thing that warranted many Gilmore Girls season renewals,...

Despite numerous Grammy nominations in the country field, and a Best Country Duo/Group Performance win with Kacey Musgraves for “I Remember Everything,” Zach Bryan says he doesn’t want to be defined as a country music artist.

In an exclusive Rolling Stone interview between Bryan and Bruce Springsteen, the Great American Bar Scene songwriter and the New Jersey working-class hero talked at length about how country music has affected their work. Springsteen cited Hank Williams and Johnny Cash as influences, while Bryan praised Jason Isbell and went on to...

In the opening credits of Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic "A Nightmare on Elm Street," the evil child murderer Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is seen hiding out in a remote boiler room, carefully constructing his preferred mode of violence: a glove outfitted with long blades on the fingertips. Freddy uses his glove to slash through the innocent flesh of his victims, giving him an animalian, predatory nature. When he wears the glove, he is ready to kill -- and he never removes it. 

Freddy's glove, charred face, striped sweater, and rumpled hobo hat became the monster's signature look, and millions of horror fans have recreated Freddy's costume every Halloween since. Naturally, one can buy replica plastic Freddy gloves at costume shops, even to this day. 

Freddy's glove was designed and built by Jim Doyle, a mechanical SFX wizard who was just starting out in 1984. "Nightmare" was only his third film...

“This world is bullshit,” Chappell Roan recently said, during an extended TikTok rant. “You shouldn’t model your life on what we think is cool and what we’re wearing and what we’re saying and everything. Go with yourself.” All right, fine, that was actually what Fiona Apple said on the VMAs in 1997 — and at the time, Apple’s dissatisfaction with fame briefly threatened to become the essence of her brand, overshadowing the brilliance of her music. But Apple continued creating, and her songs have long since outlasted any passing controversies.

Ministry frontman Al Jourgensen has been working on the legendary industrial act’s final album with returning classic member Paul Barker. Now, the band has inked a deal with Cleopatra Records for the upcoming release.

“Looking forward to how this new and Final Ministry record comes out,” stated Jourgensen. “Turns out working with Paul is like riding a bike; you never forget how. Buckle up, this is going to be a good one. It seems that everything has come full circle, with the re-inclusion of Paul for the Final record, it’s like wrapping a bow on a 40-plus-year career.”

Barker was a key and consistent member of Ministry from 1986 through 2003, playing bass, handling production and programming, and co-writing most songs on such classic albums as The Land of Rape and Honey, The Mind is a Terrible Thing to Taste, and Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and the Way to Suck Eggs,...

At daybreak, a line of pilgrims stretch back a half mile from a spot that Donald J. Trump will consecrate as hallowed ground at sunset. The ex-president returns today for a rally to Butler, Pennsylvania, where he survived an assassination attempt on July 13. He will be joined by J.D. Vance and Elon Musk. The morning has messianic hints as a man roams the lines carrying a full-sized cross and muttering about Christ’s mercy. There is a Lourdes-like aura for the devout as they move slowly toward metal detectors, a...

Rock duo the Black Keys have dropped a video for a new track, “Mi Tormenta,” featuring Mexican-American singer DannyLux. The single will appear on the deluxe version of the band’s latest album Ohio Players, out November 15 with three more previously unreleased tracks.

Of the deluxe, named the Trophy Edition, the Black Keys said in a statement that, “We held back five of our favorite tracks planning for their release to coincide with our tour of North America. Even though our year got turned upside down, we still needed to...

Wes Craven made some very underrated movies. There was Deadly Friend, The Serpent and the Rainbow, and The People Under the Stairs, all of which have found new appreciation as the years passed. However, one of his movies that I always thought should have been a major hit was his 1989 flick Shocker. This was Craven’s attempt to make his own Freddy Krueger-style slasher, Horace Pinker (future X-Files star Mitch Pileggi), who, upon his execution, becomes an unstoppable force of energy who goes on a massive killing spree. The only one who can stop him is a teenager (Peter Berg – long before he became a director) whose girlfriend was among Picker’s victims and has a psychic connection to the killer.

While Craven and Universal probably hoped the film would become a hit, it whiffed at the box office, only making about $16 million, although it became a horror favourite on VHS.
