57 Channels and Only This Is On: March 30, 2025

 

The White Lotus:  Well, they did it.  They did the incest.  Except the sister was not involved.  Not sure where that ranks on the WTF Power Ranking with Boyd Crowder’s buddy’s monologue last week.

 

Grosse Point Garden Society:  Um, so they went from looking like the husband was dead, directly into the side piece.  Are they just going to tease a new person who died every week until they actually reveal which one it was?  But the side piece does not seem like someone who would kill a stranger’s dog, so I do not think it was him.

 

The Righteous Gemstones:  I have been slowly watching Deli Boys and finally realize this week the January 6 guy is BJ without the mustache.  Both shows are pretty weird.

 

Daredevil: Born Again:  If we do not get Matt in Jersey City this season, I will be thoroughly disappointed.  Of course, this begs the question, what exactly what is Ms. Marvel doing in California?  Cassie Lang seems like the most likely answer.  Will they actually give us a Young Avenger’s update on this show?  Could Cassie and Kate Bishop also show up to this dinner party?

 

But we finally got Matt back in the suit.  Only took six episodes.  I guess the final two episodes will be Daredevil and The Punisher against the new vigilante taskforce.  But will anyone else show up?  I am guessing Ms. Marvel will sit this one out since she is in Jersey.

 

The Challenge All Stars: Rivals:  This is the type of challenge this show should be doing.  TJ thinks this should be some athletic show, but if you are bringing in a bunch of old people, they should be silly, like human shuffleboard through suds.  Though I would quibble with the rules suggesting the points should have been cumulative. 

 

Survivor:  There is nothing dumber on this show than when someone gives up their Immunity.  But in the non-giving up your Immunity power ranking, we had back to back entries in recent weeks.  Last time we had Cedrick keep on voting for Sai before saving her at the last minute if she promised to play nice.  This week we had Briana, who all she had to say to Cedric was that Sai was targeting him for trying to vote her out, or just not say anything else and let there be a tie and hope someone switches, gets voted out for stupidly telling Cedrick she had no vote.

 

Or we have to assume that would have been the outcome because the editors did not bother to let us know when Cedrick and Chrissy teamed up to get rid of Bianca seemingly unbeknownst to their original tribemates.  Blindsides are awesome in this game, just not when the editors blindside the audience.  They have to let us know every possibility.

 

 Between the messy Tribal and the emotional Immunity Challenge, it may be easy to forget that Star gave up her Immunity Idol.  Wait, what?  Plus she gave it to someone she was targeting two weeks ago.  While I just said giving up Immunity is extremely dumb, this actually kind of makes sense.  An Immunity Idol that everyone know about is kind of worthless and puts a target on your back.  Then if what the editors did not show that led to the elimination this week was Cedric and Chrissy teaming up to target the old Lagi tribe, that would put the biggest target on Eva's back.  It will interesting how all the alliance pan out at the Merge.

Around the Tubes: March 29, 2025

 

I have gotten a plethora of cool press releases flooding my inbox recently that you may find interesting. This post includes blurbs on  Ariana Grande, Lyn Lapid, Lord Huron, Sublime, Smokey Robinson, Robert Randolph, Sydney Rose, Chelsea King, Ben 10, and Willie Nelson Presents: King of the Roadies.

- Oscar-nominated, GRAMMY® Award-winning, multi-platinum recording artist, and international superstar, Ariana Grande premieres the short film, brighter days ahead, the visual companion to eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days.   Watch brighter days ahead HERE.  Listen to eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days ahead HERE.  Set against the music of eternal sunshine deluxe: brighter days ahead, and directed by frequent collaborators Christian Breslauer and Ariana Grande, this film explores love, loss, growth, and the fleeting nature of memory, delivering a heartfelt cinematic experience that closes the door on this eternal sunshine album era.

- Rising singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Lyn Lapid gifts fans with a new track, “death wish,” ahead of the release of her long awaited debut album BUZZKILL next month, which arrives on April 25th. The new song is unveiled today alongside the official music video—listen to “death wish” HERE & watch the music video HERE.  The dark title of “death wish” juxtaposes the track’s lighthearted story and deeper message of lifelong friendships. Lyn explains the meaning, saying, “My roommate and I were grocery shopping. We’re both single, so I was joking about how we were going to be single forever. We had this funny dream that if we never got married, then we would all move to Japan and live out our old age there. It’s just a funny ode to friendship. The idea is, ‘I don’t want you to be in a relationship, because I don’t want your boyfriend to take you away from me!’”

- Lord Huron presents a new single, “Nothing I Need,” their second new song of 2025. “Nothing I Need” is driven by frontman Ben Schneider’s calming, wistful voice: “I fell in deep // When you fell out of love with me // Now I got everything I want // And I got nothing that I need.”  Melodic guitar blooms with shuffling percussion and a delicate swelling of instrumentation. In Schneider’s words, “Nothing I Need” “wonders if it’s possible — within the short time you’ve got — to ever truly know what you want, if it’s worthwhile wanting anything at all, and if there’s any point in pondering what’s down the roads you didn’t take.” Following the highly-praised and cinematic “Who Laughs Last?” (feat. Kristen Stewart), “Nothing I Need” is another magnetic track in Lord Huron’s discography. Expect more music and news from Lord Huron in the coming months.  Stream “Nothing I Need”  Next month, Lord Huron embarks on an entirely sold-out spring tour in celebration of the 10th anniversary of their beloved album Strange Trails, which features the multi-platinum single “The Night We Met.” Following, they’ll play across North American for their biggest headline tour to date, including performances at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the Moody Center in Austin, and Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Select dates will feature support from artists including Waxahatchee, Feist, Kevin Morby and more. A full list of dates can be found below; tickets are on sale now.  Watch the Video for “Who Laughs Last? (feat. Kristen Stewart)”

- Sublime is in the studio writing and recording new songs for an upcoming full-length album. When not performing at various festivals across North America in 2024, front man Jakob Nowell immersed himself in the Sublime catalog and found a deep sense of connection to his late father. The deeply emotional and powerful experience spawned a collection of new songs inspired by his father’s legacy that perfectly blend the classic Sublime vibe with a fresh sound. The band is tapping into the 90s nostalgia, writing and recording the new songs with powerhouse producing duo Travis Barker and John Feldmann, in addition to working with producer Jon Joseph (BØRNS). The first single will be released this Summer via their newly established label Sublime Recordings.

- Four-time Grammy winner Smokey Robinson’s soulful vulnerability have swept audiences away for over 60 years. Last month, he turned 85, but judging by his latest multi-track single, out now via Gaither Music Group, Robinson’s unmistakable voice is as smooth and timeless as ever. This double A-side features a lilting "Three Little Birds,” and an elegant "What A Wonderful World,” both from Robinson’s upcoming album, What The World Needs Now, out April 25th on Gaither.  Robinson partnered with TalkShopLive and gave an in-depth interview about the uplifting new album on April 18. As part of the partnership, randomly selected CDs purchased through the platform will include inserts signed by the artist. Check out the interview and pre-order from TalkShopLive here. He also discussed the record in an in-studio video you can watch here.  

- Sun Records is thrilled to announce the signing of six-time GRAMMY nominee Robert Randolph—the most innovative and influential rock and blues pedal steel guitarist of his generation. Randolph will release his Sun debut, Preacher Kids, on June 27, and the brawny, blues-rocking first single, “Sinner,” is out now.   Randolph is a whirlwind of talent — contributing to major musical moments across genres. He has collaborated with a diverse array of artists, including Dave Matthews Band, Santana, Norah Jones, Ozzy Osbourne, Eric Clapton, Rob Thomas, Hank Williams Jr., Elton John, Leon Russell, Raphael Saadiq, Robbie Robertson, Taj Mahal, Metallica, and Sheryl Crow. Most recently, he celebrated the GRAMMY win for Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, for which he contributed pedal steel on "16 Carriages" and "Ya Ya." Randolph played on Jon Batiste’s We Are, which won the GRAMMY for Album of the Year. He also worked on the Elvis movie soundtrack, performed on the Zac Brown Band’s tour, and was welcomed back for the second consecutive year to provide the theme music for Amazon Prime's Thursday Night Football. He also joined Luke Combs for a moving tribute to Charley Pride on CMT, bridging generations and genres in celebration of a country music trailblazer.

- In the midst of a rapid rise with her current breakthrough single “We Hug Now,” acclaimed Georgia-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sydney Rose will release her brand new EP I Know What I Want on April 4. Pre-save the EP HERE and listen to “We Hug Now” HERE. It notably marks the first official release under her recently minted deal with Mercury Records, kicking off an exciting new chapter for the rising artist.  To celebrate the news, Sydney shared a captivating official Live Performance Video of her beautifully haunting new single “We Hug Now,” which is breaking in real time now.  Watch HERE.

- Acclaimed singer-songwriter Chelsea King unveils a new dimension of her artistry with Minneola, a project that embraces a softer, more introspective sound. Following the success of their debut release, Minneola returns with their second single, "Echo In The Heavens," available now. This deeply personal and ethereal love song captures the moment King realized she was in love with her partner, Dawson, offering a poignant reflection on love and connection.  “Echo In The Heavens” captures love as a lightning bolt—sudden, electric, and undeniable. The song vividly describes that pivotal moment on a Tennessee highway when everything changed instantly. Sonically, it contrasts King’s solo work—known for channeling raw feminine rage—by embracing a different kind of power: soft yet fearless, delicate yet profound.

View From the Peak - Everything Coming to Paramount+ in April 2025

 

Who needs to wait for April showers to bring May flowers when Paramount+ content is in full bloom next month! Whether you’re admiring nature’s breathtaking beauty with our refreshed Earthly Adventures collection in celebration of Earth Month; diving into the intricate web of a powerful crime family in the new Paramount+ original series MobLand from Guy Ritchie; or crowding around the TV to stream the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship games - there’s something new and exciting for the whole household to enjoy in April. For a closer look at all the entertainment coming to Paramount+ next month, check out the latest edition of View from the Peak.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Joanne Froggatt and Tom Hardy in MobLand   Before April hits the ground running, March leaves a parting gift in the form of MobLand, a high-stakes crime drama helmed by Guy Ritchie with a powerhouse cast including Tom Hardy, Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and Joanne Froggatt. We sat down with Joanne to talk about her role as Jan Da Souza, wife of the Harrigan family fixer, in the forthcoming series. Take a look. In MobLand, you play Jan Da Souza, the wife of Harry Da Souza, played by Tom Hardy. How ingrained is Jan in the dealings of this sprawling crime empire considering she’s married into this syndicate? Jan is very much on the periphery of Harry’s work. She is complicit but doesn’t like to know too much about it. However, as the season unfolds and the war between the two crime families unfolds, Jan gets dragged deeper into the chaos. You played Anna Smith, lady’s maid for the aristocratic Crawley family on Downton Abbey. Though the two series have dramatically different tones, was there any knowledge about navigating complex family power dynamics that you applied to this performance? I can safely say I drew no comparisons between my character in Downton and my character in MobLand. We filmed a lot of dinner scenes in Downton, I filmed one in MobLand and the two were worlds apart. They would have been shocked at Downton Abbey! Was there a unique perspective or experience you can recall that Guy Ritchie brought to the filming process? I was excited to work with Guy Ritchie and thoroughly enjoyed the process. Guy knows what he wants and knows when he’s got it. I love that decisiveness, as it breeds confidence in everyone on the set. What are you most excited for viewers to see play out in MobLand? I am really excited to see how viewers respond to the unfolding of the series, and the epic storylines that take so many unexpected twists and turns. Don’t miss the premiere of MobLand on Paramount+ this Sunday, March 30
