The Monkees and punk rock debuted in the same year: 1966. The two battled for chart supremacy. Interestingly, Jim Morrison of The Doors had a similar view of both.
1 of the masterminds behind the 1st punk rock song liked The Monkees a lot
Punk rock didn’t start with The Clash or the Sex Pistols. The genre began with a mid-tempo, sad song called “96 Tears” by a forgotten group called Question Mark & the Mysterians. It’s far from the hardest or most provocative punk rock song you will ever hear. “96 Tears” might sound a bit quaint in 2024, but for the time, it was groundbreaking.
During an interview published in Vice in 2014, Bobby Balderrama from Question Mark & the Mysterians recalled sharing the charts with the Prefab Four. “When ’96 Tears’ went to No. 1 nationally in the fall of 1966, we knocked The Monkees’ ‘Last Train to Clarksville’ out of the No. 1 spot,” he recalled.

From accountant to acting powerhouse, Indian actor Vijay Sethupathi’s 50-film journey has been anything but ordinary.
The actor’s 50th film, the Tamil-language “Maharaja,” written and directed by Nithilan Saminathan (“Kurangu Bommai”), is an action-packed saga that blends thriller elements with family drama and has a father-daughter relationship at its core. It has emerged as one of the biggest Tamil hits of the year.
The actor says he didn’t specifically choose “Maharaja” as a milestone project, but he was drawn to the story and the director’s energy. “We do all the films with so much fear and passion.

It was inevitable that “Crisis On Infinite Earths” was going to end with the multiverse restored, since it would be kind of hard to have any shows without any planets on which to set them. Several of the restored worlds were featured in a closing montage backed by a voiceover from Oliver (as the Spectre?) echoing the Monitor’s narration of the multiverse’s creation that opened the crossover.
First is Earth-Prime on which all the main Arrowverse shows now take place, formed from the merging of Earth-1, Supergirl’s Earth-38, and Black Lightning’s Earth that went unidentified, but going by the numbering conventions of many of the others it was probably either Earth-77 (for when the character debuted) or more likely Earth-218 (after the show’s premiere).
Earth-2, meanwhile, gave us a brief preview of the upcoming Stargirl series, showing its Justice Society of America.

Last night, “Crisis on Infinite Earths” finally came to an end, wrapping up what has to be the most ambitious crossover in television history. There was a lot to take in, then, from the event’s last hour, with the promise that the Arrowverse will never be the same again. So, let’s recap what happened in the final 20 minutes or so of the crossover.
Just when their troubles looked to be over, the heroes of the Arrowverse had to battle the Anti-Monitor and his Shadow Demons one last time. Oliver Queen may have restarted the multiverse, thanks to his Spectre power upgrade, but the Monitor’s evil counterpart still survived. Thankfully, the heroes came up with a plan and managed to trap the villain forever in the Microverse.
With him taken care of, the President of the United States shared a message of thanks to the heroes on TV,...

The CW’s biggest crossover event yet, “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” is going down well with fans. It’s already delivered a ton of cool cameos from across adaptions of DC’s work, with the first few minutes alone bringing us Robert Wuhl’s Alexander Knox reading about Burtonverse Batman stopping Joker, then to DC Universe’s Titans-verse, then Russell Tovey’s The Ray on Earth-x before finally (and best of all) stopping off at Earth-66 where Burt Ward’s Dick Grayson sees the oncoming disaster and yells “Holy crimson skies of death!” On top of that, we’ve revisited Smallville and seen Kevin Conroy play an unexpectedly sinister Bruce Wayne.
If you’ll recall, though, back in November, Arrowverse producer Marc Guggenheim hinted that the break between the third and fourth episodes would see a major cliffhanger, and he wasn’t kidding, as last night’s outing saw...

Brandon Routh looks like the Kingdom Come Superman in Crisis on Infinite Earths, but there's more at work.
This article contains Crisis on Infinite Earths spoilers.
“Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Two” introduced us to the Superman of Earth-96, played by Brandon Routh. This Clark Kent is a little older and wiser, having suffered an unimaginable loss. He’s now the Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Planet, displaying the same fondness for brown suits that Routh’s Clark did in Superman Returns. His Superman suit, however, in addition to simply being possibly the best live-action Superman costume ever, is inspired by the Kingdom Come Superman, which brings with it a tragic backstory of its own.
Earth-96
Earth-96 received its numerical designation because Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross was first published by DC Comics in 1996. In that book, the world of Kingdom Come is a slightly more “mature” DC Universe,...

Lorde isn’t the only big-haired artist making her Rolling Stone cover debut on the new issue. That’s because the leering, high-coiffed, emaciated ghoul on her T-shirt belongs to another band: the Cramps. The group, which used the T-shirt illustration on their cheekily titled 1984 comp Bad Music for Bad People, pioneered its own brand of sinewy, rockabilly-inspired garage punk that was perfect for the dinge of its native New York City when it formed in 1976 (or a little over two whole 17-year-old Lordes ago).
