Saquon Barkley, Shohei Ohtani, Simone Biles Lead ESPY Nominations

Film Movement just snagged the U.S. rights to Boxcutter, a Toronto-set hip-hop drama that premiered at SXSW. Directed by Reza Dahya, it follows Rome (played by Ashton James), a budding rapper whose stolen laptop sends him on a wild journey through a rapidly changing city. Think gritty beats, street-level struggles, and a fresh take on the hip-hop coming-of-age story.

Editor’s Note: Indie films about hip-hop culture don’t always get wide distribution, so this acquisition means more audiences will see a story rooted in Toronto’s vibrant scene. It’s also a win for diverse voices—Dahya’s lens on gentrification and ambition could resonate far beyond the city’s borders. If you’re into music-driven dramas or urban storytelling, keep an eye on this one.

Two fan-favorite actors, Harvey Guillén ("What We Do in the Shadows") and Brenda Song ("Running Point"), will team up to reveal this year’s Emmy nominations on July 15. The announcement will stream live in the morning (PT/ET) from the Television Academy’s Wolf Theatre, giving TV fans their first look at which shows and stars are in the running for Hollywood’s biggest small-screen honors.

Editor’s Note: The Emmy nominations are always a big deal—they set the tone for awards season and spark endless debates about snubs and surprises. Having Guillén and Song, both charismatic and rising stars, as the messengers adds a fun, fresh energy to the announcement. For TV buffs, it’s the unofficial starting gun for rooting for favorites and dissecting the nominees. Plus, it’s a nice spotlight for the hosts themselves, who are having a moment in their careers.

Disney just dropped some exciting news on social media—Lilo & Stitch 2 is officially in the works! Details are still slim (no word yet on who’s directing or if the original cast is returning), but the announcement comes hot on the heels of the live-action remake’s box office success, which has raked in over $923 million globally this year.

Editor’s Note: For fans of the 2002 animated gem, this is a big deal. The original Lilo & Stitch has a cult following for its heartwarming story and quirky charm, and the live-action remake’s massive earnings prove the franchise still has legs. A sequel could mean more of that beloved Hawaiʻi-set chaos—or, if done poorly, risk feeling like a cash grab. Either way, it’s got people talking.

Disney’s doubling down on its live-action Lilo & Stitch remake with a sequel in the works. The studio dropped the news on June 26—a cheeky nod to Stitch’s lab-given name, Experiment 626—after the first film racked up over $910 million globally. Looks like more chaotic alien antics and Hawaiian heartwarming moments are headed our way.

Editor’s Note: Disney’s betting big on nostalgia (and box office receipts) by expanding its live-action Lilo & Stitch universe. For fans, it’s a chance to revisit the beloved duo, but it also raises questions about whether Disney can recapture the original’s charm or if this is just another cash-grab remake. Either way, Stitch’s mischief isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who served prison time for her involvement in the 2015 murder of her abusive mother, Clauddine "Dee Dee" Blanchard, is now speaking out against her ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Godejohn. She’s reclaiming her narrative after years of manipulation and trauma, shedding light on the complexities of her case beyond the true-crime sensationalism.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another tabloid update—it’s a stark reminder of how abuse, coercion, and media scrutiny intersect. Gypsy’s story forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about victimhood, justice, and how society processes cases involving extreme familial control. Her willingness to speak now could reshape public perception of her role in the crime.
