With a tagline promising us that “one will fall,” the long awaited for fourth entry in the newly rebooted Godzilla universe arrives in select theatres and on HBO Max just in time for Spring Break, March 26. The film which follows Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and if the trailer is any indicator, lots of carnage and mayhem will follow. Speaking of the trailer, for Godzilla enthusiasts, there are snippets of would be Easter eggs of potential spoilers (we shall not name them) that should have fanboys and fangirls smiling from ear to ear. Godzilla vs. Kong is directed by Adam Wingard.

PepsiCo have unleased a brand new, and permanent fixture to their ever growing stable of Mountain Dew flavors. Major Melon, as one would expect from getting a quick glimpse of the beverage can, is a no frills carbonated soda rich with flavors reminiscent of watermelon. Major Melon also comes equipped in their Zero line of soft drinks. Currently, there are rarer and more limited exclusive flavors of Mountain Dew, but they do not come easy. Maui Burst, for instance, is a mixture of pineapple and pina colada flavors but can only be obtained at the Dollar General. And much like Taco Bell’s Baja Blast, Sam’s Club has unleashed a tidal wave of flavor in their very own fountain exclusive Berry Monsoon. Unlike Baja Blast, PepsiCo has no immediate plans of offering Berry Monsoon in can or bottle distribution. Speaking of Baja Blast, new flavors will be available from Taco Bell in the coming months.

Electronic act Oneohtrix Point Never, or 0PN for short, is Daniel Lopatin and has steadily been releasing electronic music for the past ten years plus that has not only been cutting edge, but genre defining. He and Abel Tesfaye developed a budding partnership with Tesfaye reached out to Lopatin for production duties on After Hours. The two became acquaintances while The Weeknd had a brief starring role in Safdie brothers, Josh and Benny’s tension riddled film Uncut Gems (2019). A film that Lopatin had provided the soundtrack for. When it was time for Lopatin to unleash a new 0PN record, he returned the favor and asked Tesfaye to produce Oneohtrix Point Never Magic, which like After Hours, released last year to critical acclaim.

Abel Tesfaye took center stage when it was announced he would be performing this year’s halftime show during Super Bowl LV. PepsiCo gambled on Tesfaye, known as The Weeknd, as up to this point, he has been delving deeper and deeper into troubled waters with the media. Never one to let things happen as he watches by the wayside, Tesfaye has spoke out opening and critical of the very industry that pays his bills. The narrative he is crafting with his After Hours appearances and prior tour dates, had been deemed controversial and left critics and fans alike, scratchy their heads. Ahead of the performance, Tesfaye said he would honor the nature of the sporting event and maintain a “PG performance give the audience.” This saw him letting his own face, being openly on screen, when prior he had been hidden behind faux bloodied bandages and over dramatic facial prosthetics. With the help of music collaborator, Oneohtrix Point Never (more on Daniel Lopatin below), together they crafted a cohesive and mesmerizing rendering honoring Tesfaye’s After Hours. The Weeknd utilized nearly seven million of his own dollars on the halftime performance.

Not much can be said about Tom Brady and the numerous accolades he continues to rack up, year after year. In his tenth Super Bowl appearance, his first Tampa Bay, Brady capped an MVP worthy performance by picking apart the Kansas City Chiefs’ defense to the tune of three touchdowns and over two hundred yards passing. The 31 to 9 drubbing that they put on the Chiefs in their home stadium of Raymond James, was Brady’s most lopsided victory in the big game. Prior to the victory in Super Bowl LV, he leads the Patriots to wins by margins of 3, 3, 3, 4, 6, and 10.
