French director Olivier Marchal has begun filming new police thriller Bastion 36 for Netflix, which is billed as a contemporary cop drama adapted from Michel Tourscher’s novel Flic Requiem.
Set in Paris, the movie revolves around Antoine Cerda, a senior police officer with the prestigious Investigation and Intervention Brigade, who is transferred to the Anti-Crime Brigade after being sanctioned by the General Inspectorate of the French National Police. The move sees him turn his back on his former comrades and unit, led by the charismatic Sami Belkaïm.
When two officers from his old squad are killed in less than 24 hours and a third goes missing in mysterious circumstances, Cerda embarks on his own investigation. His inquiries will reveal an intense police rivalry and take him on a terrible downward spiral.

Starfield, in its current state, is nothing more than a combination of bland reviews and crossed fingers for a better future. The game was in development for over 7 years, and even with all the marketing in the world, it failed to garner a strong and positive presence.
The player count has fallen off, and the negative reviews are piling up. In the midst of it all, there’s that dying hope for the next The Elder Scrolls game, and fans aren’t sure if the community should even hold its breath.
Steam Reviews Aren’t Doing Starfield Any Favors Starfield’s universe may seem attractive, but is it worth journeying into?
The trickiest part of Starfield’s narrative is how it’s perceived on different platforms. No thanks to the not-so-detailed reviews on Game Pass or Xbox Store; the game saves itself from the harsh written word, and console players...

It’s hard to think of 2023 in music and not mention the success of Barbie, Karol G’s international takeover, the rise of singer-songwriter-dancer-engineer Victoria Monét and the launch of future pop star Tyla.
And then there’s Sza and Beyoncé. They released mind-blowing albums last year, but they didn’t snooze in 2023.
And speaking of snooze, here are 10 favorite songs of the year.
1. Sza, “Snooze”
“Ain’t a home when you’re not here/Hard to grow when you’re not here,” Sza sings on this modern love song currently uniting the entire world. Babies and young children are cutely singing the melody (and in harmony!). Boys and men are proudly singing the lyrics written solely by a female artist. And the aunties approve of its R&b authenticity. With some production assists from living legend Babyface and legend-in-the-making Leon Thomas, Sza’s confessional track is poignant and perfect.

Of course Sza’s Sos was the album I played the most in 2023 — but remember, it came out in December 2022 and I ranked it second on last year’s list of top albums, obviously under Beyoncé’s Renaissance.
Though Sza owned the year, several great albums showed up in 2023. Here are the projects that lived rent free in my home and in my headphones.
1. Victoria Monét, Jaguar II
It’s a beautiful thing when someone working to help others achieve their dreams steps into the limelight. With Jaguar II, that’s Victoria Monét. The songwriter behind hits for Ariana Grande and others has been releasing incredible music for years — check out 2018’s Life After Love, Pt. 2 and 2020’s Jaguar if you’re just arriving at her fan club — but she’s finally at the forefront, and her major label debut album is a masterpiece. She’s bold and bombastic on “On My Mama,...

Prong have announced their 13th studio album, State of Emergency, arriving October 6th. Coinciding with the news, the thrash vets have dropped the single “Non-Existence.”
The track is apex Prong, holding to the band’s tried-and-true brand of grooved-out thrash. Tommy Victor’s guitar tone is steely, cutting through the mix, and there’s a pop-punkish bounce to the chord structures and shout-along vocals. For Victor, it harkens back to the band’s 1996 album Rude Awakening.
“‘Non-Existence,’ with its techno-style noise guitar that’s omnipresent on this album, is a bit like my retrospective glance at Rude Awakening,” he remarked in a press release.
Victor worked on the LP with producer Steve Evetts and sought to create a record that explored his varied taste in music while retaining the idiosyncrasies of the long-running project.
“It’s a very ‘Prong’ record,” Victor mused. “I think it’s totally genre-transcending and definitely...
