“What if the Y2K bug was real” feels like such an obvious concept that it’s surprising that it took so long to come up with it. At its best, the teen horror comedy Y2K will make you feel glad that Kyle Mooney and Evan Winter were the first to the punch. Displaying the shaggy looseness of sketch comedy, the film regards its setting with an irony-free attention to detail as it keys itself to the vibes of people who came of age before the new millennium started and would give anything to live it over again, with or without killer robots.
It’s New Year’s Eve 1999, and shy teenage nerd Eli (Jaeden Martell) is more worried about making an impression on his cool-girl crush, Laura (Rachel Zegler), than he is about the approaching millennium and what it might bring. After hitting up the video store with his gregarious best bud,...

Video games have the ability to transport players to interactive worlds beyond their wildest imagination, defeat bosses to become the hero they wish they could be in real life, and step inside an identity that they wouldn't otherwise understand. Or, in the case of a game like "Twisted Metal," drive an armored ice cream truck and blow up enemies with a remote-controlled rocket launcher. The vehicular combat video game was the lifeblood of the Dorito-dusted finger lickers of America in the late '90s and early 00s, and while there is a story players can follow ... most people opt to obliterate their pals with nuclear weapons. Yet, somehow, Peacock adapted the game into one of the most entertaining new series of the year.

How are we supposed to live without Michael Bolton? “American Song Contest” doesn’t have to answer that question just yet, as Connecticut-based Bolton and his song “Beautiful World” could still place next week through a combination of votes through fans and jurors.
But the early lead on night one of NBC’s U.S. take on the Eurovision Song Contest went to Rhode Island’s Hueston, wearing his heart on his sleeve with the tear-jerker “Held on Too Long.” Hueston most impressed the 56-member juror panel — which includes iHeartMedia chief programming officer/president Tom Poleman, Klos host and former MTV VJ Matt Pinfield and artist/songwriter/producer Ester Dean. He was the first from this group to qualify to move on from this round.

Welcome to our weekly column Can’t Miss Episode of the Week! Every Saturday we’ll be spotlighting a different episode of television from that week that we thought was exceptional and a must-see. Check back to see if your favorite show got the nod — or to learn about a new one! DC’s Legends of Tomorrow is known for its zany season finales. The past couple of finales alone included an epic battle with history’s worst villains as Sisqó himself performed “Thong Song,” and relied on a magical theme park to help send a demon back to Hell. And let’s not forget Beebo. Well, the Season 6 send-off, which aired on September 5, is no less crazy. In true Legends style, the time-traveling team makes a last ditch effort to stop an alien invasion, all while trying to give Sara (Caity Lotz) and Ava (Jes Macallan) their dream wedding...

Legendary host and Mc Dashaun Wesley first discovered his love of dance at just 4 years old, competing in yearly dance-offs to celebrate his Brooklyn, NY neighborhood. Then came his introduction to the world of voguing - a highly stylized form of modern dance that often imitates poses struck by models on a catwalk, and evolved from the ballroom scene.
As a kid, Wesley struggled to find mentorship and a place to fit in as a young, Black, gay dancer. At 14 years old, things cleared up for him while walking down Christopher Street in New York City's West Village. "I saw this one guy playing vogue music from a huge boom box," he told Popsugar. "He had a crowd following him, so I started following them. A young intrigued Dashaun wanted to learn about that world. From that day on, I kept coming back so I could...

It wouldn't be a DC's Legends of Tomorrow finale with a bit of time jumping, chaos, and ... a Shake Weight?
It was up to the Legends to restore free will in the world on DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 5 Episode 14 after Lachesis used Gideon to gain power and exert her control.
The hour was full of sadness and goodbyes that were disguised as light-hearted humor, keeping up with the theme of the show while also tying off some loose ends.
Why must they tease us with Zari 1.0 if she was only going to stay around for a couple of episodes?
Yes, they intended for Nate to get some closure as he has been struggling to remember the old timeline with Zari 1.0 for all of DC's Legends of Tomorrow Season 5, but it felt like anything but closure for the two lovebirds.

The Backstreet Boys stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday night and revealed some interesting tidbits about their career in the process. During their appearance, the host decided to get to the bottom of some longtime myths about the band. Namely, that Ryan Gosling was almost a member of the Backstreet Boys and that the band was in a feud with *Nsync in the '90s. While they assured fans that there was never any rivalry, they do have one regret: letting *Nsync perform the halftime show at the 2001 Super Bowl.
Nick Carter revealed that they actually had the choice to perform the halftime show or the national anthem, and they ended up choosing the latter. "It's kind of one of those bucket list things," he added. "You kind of regret it a little bit. [We] maybe wish we could still do a Super Bowl halftime." Well, we're...

Where is Sisqó when you need him? Well, it turns out that maybe you don’t need him — and also we’re not going to make the obvious and mean-spirited joke about what the “Thong Song” singer may be doing for a living these days.
On Tuesday, Jimmy Fallon assembled a new version of his barbershop quarter, The Ragtime Gals, to perform a very different remix of Sisqó’s ode to skimpy swimwear. This time, the group was a sextet.
Save Fallon, the regular Gals weren’t needed for this one — because nine grown men wearing these goofy outfits while harmonizing a cappella to the silly 1999 hit would just be ridiculous. Enter: The Backstreet Boys. They really wanna see that thong. That thong thong thong thong thong.

Derek King’s “Tetris” is a baffling song, even by streaming’s everything-goes standards. It’s built around the melody of Sisqó’s 2000 hit “Thong Song,” but comes with a Bay area bounce. Instead of comparing butts to dump trucks, King’s lyrics are more interested in using the famous puzzle game as a horny metaphor. “So baby, come sit that booty/Make it fit like it’s Tetris,” he raps, before transitioning into a processed vocal run.
It’s a lot, almost too much, but that’s part of the charm.

When Sony Pictures asked Director X to remake 1972 blaxploitation classic “Super Fly,” he had never seen the original. He had also never helmed a studio feature — just a 2015 indie, a Lifetime movie (“Center Stage: On Pointe”), and some of the most memorable music videos of the past 20 years, from Sisqó’s “Thong Song” to Drake’s “Hotline Bling,” viewed more than 1.4 billion times on YouTube.
However, while Director X created visuals for Jay-z, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Usher, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, and Lil Wayne, “Lethal Weapon” and “Matrix” franchises producer Joel Silver struggled to get his “Super Fly” revamp made. “Joel had the rights, he had a studio that wanted to make it,” Director X told IndieWire. “The studio told him, ‘We don’t want to call it ‘Super Fly,’ and we don’t want it to be about anything that the original movie was about.'”

Alessia Cara pulled off an upset at the 2018 Grammy Awards when she won Best New Artist over Sza. She became the 26th solo female singer to claim this awards since it was introduced at the second Grammys ceremony in 1959. While the first winner was “Mack the Knife” singer Bobby Darin won) , only 12 more male artists have taken this prize home since then. Groups or or collaborative acts have won this top honor 18 times. (Take a tour of all 59 winners in the photo gallery above.)
The Grammy Award for Best New Artist has been given out every year since 1959, with the exception of 1967. The most dubious winner has to be the duo Milli Vanilli, which won the award in 1989 only to have it rescinded a year later when it was revealed that they were lip syncing.
They were just one of the winning acts that have been cursed by this award.

There are three things people know about Sisqo: he’s the lead singer of R&B group Dru Hill, he once sported a silver spray-painted platinum Caesar, and he has an unhealthy obsession with thongs. Eighteen years after the original release of the nauseatingly addictive “Thong Song” – an early Noughties club classic and inappropriate high school disco […]...

The legendary Venom Mob never became kung fu cinema stars as individuals. But as a group? Let us tell their story...
A film critic, an accountant, an orphan and three opera students take on the martial arts world. It sounds like a plot from a crazy kung fu film in itself but, incredibly, forms the basis for the real life story of the legendary Venom Mob...
In 1970s Hong Kong, the film industry was driven by star power. Most of the big names were at some point contracted to Shaw Brothers and actors like Alexander Fu Sheng, Jimmy Wang Yu, Gordon Liu or Ti Lung could always guarantee a crowd. As daring as certain elements of classic Hong Kong cinema still feel, the studios were rarely willing to take risks when it came to the stars, believing that audiences just wouldn't show up if they didn't recognise the name on the marquee.

If you forgot Dru Hill and Sisqo put out comeback albums, there's a good reason -- 'cause the R&B stars say their record label botched the whole deal and cost them millions in the process. According to the lawsuit, Dru Hill and its thong loving frontman signed separate deals with Kedar Entertainment Group back in 2009 -- Dru Hill would release 2 albums, and Sisqo would also drop 2 solo albums.

The year 2000 brought some undeniably memorable moments: Y2K, hanging chads, the quickly shuttered Millennium Dome. And, of course, “Thong Song.” Yes, Sisqó’s smash-hit of a single from his multi-platinum debut solo album, Unleash the Dragon, which wonderfully celebrated the art of butt floss and has remained a staple of turn-of-the-century playlists. But what was life like for the man himself circa “Thong Song” madness? To find out, Dan Hyman spoke to Sisqó for this as-told-to piece. The Dru Hill singer, who this week releases his first new album in over a decade, Last Dragon, uncovers his favorite memories from the insanity that was his life in the late '90s and early 2000s.1. I performed for MTV down in Cancún. I think it was the first time I performed “Thong Song” live. I can’t remember who the host was at the time. It may have been Carson Daly.

Though it seems hard to believe, Nov. 30 is the 15th anniversary of the release of SisQo's debut album Unleash the Dragon, a.k.a. the record that brought us the crazy catchy track "Thong Song."
The album was an instant smash and sold six million copies in the U.S.
But when Et talked to SisQo back in 1999, he was confident that "Thong Song" was going to be huge. "My next single off of my new album [is] the 'Thong Song,' which is going to be like an international supersmash," he told Et before the single was even released. "It's going to be really big."
The 36-year-old has kept a relatively low profile since the early 2000's, releasing Return of the Dragon in 2001 and then lying low until he appeared on Celebrity Big Brother 7 in 2010 and Celebrity Wife Swap in 2013. But, the "dragon" is now coming back in a big way and will be releasing his third...

“I haven’t spoken to Rolling Stone in 14 years,” Sisqo says jovially, by way of introduction. After releasing two albums with his group Dru Hill – 1996’s eponymous debut and 1998’s Enter the Dru – the singer became a household name for 2000’s “Thong Song,” the second single off his debut album, Unleash the Dragon. It would eventually hit Number Three on the Billboard Top 100, and it remains an indelible turn-of-the-century aural capsule, a perpetual soundtrack to our collective spring break.

Yes, friends, as you can see from the title of this episode, it’s time for a good old-fashioned “Pull off the bandage” episode of Mousterpiece Cinema. Gabe and Josh, first-timers to the 2002 comedy Snow Dogs went in as open-minded as possible, but this dumb, goofy movie about an uptight dentist dealing with dogs in Alaska wore them down quickly. They’re joined by Sound on Sight contributor Zach Lewis to discuss many important matters, such as the acting talents of Sisqo and James Coburn, a 1970s mystery co-written by Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins, 1980s pop stars making cameo appearances in new movies, Terrence Howard’s reference to War Machine in the first Iron Man, and the qualitative merits of Jingle All The Way. Also, Snow Dogs. We promise, we did talk about Snow Dogs in this episode. But we also went on a few tangents. Can you blame us?...
