Chaotic R-Rated Netflix Comedy You Never Heard Of Needs Its Moment In The Spotlight
By Robert Scucci
| Published

As a movie lover, I always feel like I’m playing catch-up with some genuinely great art because there just aren’t enough hours in the day to consume it all. One blind spot for me involves all the movies from 2020 that never got a proper theatrical release, meaning the marketing was light as so many titles silently made their way to streaming with little fanfare. One such film, 2020’s The Lovebirds, currently resides on Netflix, and I’ve never heard anybody talk about how great it is. It’s part rom-com, part action thriller, and one of the most laugh-out-loud funny movies I’ve seen in a while.
Even better, you’re in and out in 87 minutes. Not only does the humor in The Lovebirds never wear out its welcome, it leaves you wanting more thanks to its stars, Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae.
The. Escalations. Never. Stop.

The Lovebirds kicks off with a murder, and things only get worse for Jibran (Kumail Nanjiani) and Leilani (Issa Rae). The two have been dating and living together for about four years, but only really seem to communicate through petty insults while strongly suggesting their relationship has run its course. While breaking up on the way to a friend’s dinner party, Jibran accidentally runs over a bicycle courier (Nicholas X. Parsons), who seems more concerned with fleeing the scene than tending to his injuries.
A panicked Jibran and Leilani, trying to figure out their next move, are then confronted by a man known only as Mustache (Paul Sparks), who informs them that the man on the bike is actually a criminal, but only after repeatedly running him over with their car to make sure he’s dead. They grab his phone and flee the scene, immediately arousing the suspicion of Detective Martin (Andrene Ward-Hammond).

While I don’t want to spoil the entire course of events in The Lovebirds, let’s just say things escalate fast, and never stop escalating. It doesn’t take long before they’re caught in the middle of an insane blackmail conspiracy, where they’re shot at, tied to chairs and threatened with boiling bacon grease or whatever’s behind the mystery door, chased by cops and the courier’s cohorts alike, all while trying to clear their names with Detective Martin, who, in their minds, has them pegged as the primary suspects in the courier’s brutal murder.
The Situational Humor Is Simply The Springboard

Here’s what makes The Lovebirds such an effective comedy thriller, or at least that’s what I’m calling it: Jibran and Leilani seem like a real couple working through their issues. Their banter and insults are always scathing, but they’re the kind you can only dish out and take if you know somebody well enough to really hit them where it hurts. It’s like trading burns with your oldest friends, knowing that nothing is off limits.
When you take this kind of character dynamic and let it rip alongside a crazy murder plot, you get to hang out with these people while they’re on the adventure of a lifetime, all while trying to figure out if they even want to stay together and realizing that maybe this whole situation is the ultimate test.

Some of the best scenes aren’t even the escalations, but the quieter moments, like when Jibran and Leilani sneak into a discount pharmacy for a wardrobe change, settling for the most ridiculous getups they can find before laying low at the dinner party while being wildly underdressed. Then again, they also end up at an Eyes Wide Shut-style gala, and the escalations just keep coming.
I genuinely can’t remember the last time I actually laughed out loud at a comedy while sitting by myself, but I woke my kids up twice last night while watching The Lovebirds. And the thing is, it’s not trying that hard to be funny. It doesn’t feel like a couple of comedians trying to get their yuks out or recycle old schtick. These characters feel lived in, and they’re simply chewing the scenery being thrust upon them, one escalating incident at a time.


The Lovebirds quietly arrived on Netflix back in 2020 in lieu of a theatrical release. I strongly recommend this to anybody who wants a rom com that’s as dangerous as it is hilarious.

Zaire Wade Arrested In Amid Domestic Violence Case
Authorities confirmed that the 24-year-old was “booked for domestic violence, criminal threats and false imprisonment,” with a spokesperson for the Burbank Police Department noting that due to the nature of the case, details remain limited as detectives prepare to present it to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for filing consideration.
Details Emerge After Early Morning Police Call
According to reports from NBC4, the arrest stemmed from an incident at a Burbank residence around 5:30 a.m., where a 911 caller allegedly reported hearing a woman screaming. When officers arrived, they reportedly found Zaire with a female who had visible cuts on her face and body. Authorities later issued an emergency protective order and reportedly recovered a handgun from the home during the investigation.
Zaire, who once stood out as a high school basketball star at Sierra Canyon with multiple college offers, ultimately chose to pursue a professional path after graduation. As of now, Dwyane Wade hasn’t publicly addressed the situation involving his son. He and Gabrielle Union recently attended a World Cup match at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.
Social Media Weighs In
Folks quickly ran to The Shade Room’s comment section after news of Zaire Wade’s arrest surfaced and didn’t hold back their reactions. Some users appeared confused, thinking the reports were referring to rapper Desiigner. While others expressed disappointment and said they want better outcomes for Black men in situations like this. Meanwhile, a portion of commenters simply asked for clarity on what exactly happened, as details continue to circulate online.
One Instagram user @ti6ix claimed, “She definitely questioned his basketball skills“
This Instagram user @calisxmmer wrote, “dang he look just like his daddy!“

But that’s not all, she thinks her daughter has inherited from her. She said lil’ mama might not be able to talk yet, but she definitely tries and she feels like when she does, she tries to talk back. She also said her daughter will probably have her feisty attitude since she used to be a little troublemaker growing up. “I wasn’t the easiest out of the two […] So pray for me,” Latto said.
Latto Gets Real About The Challenges Of Motherhood
Big Mama didn’t hold nothing back during her sit-down interview with Monica. She admitted the biggest thing that shocked her about motherhood was not wanting to leave her daughter at all.

“I feel like I don’t want to leave the house no more.” Latto added, “I’m such an ambitious person, so these things are contradicting right now. I want to work and work on my album and do all of the things. But I do want to be home with my baby girl too.”

Latto and her baby girl have been the talk of timelines ever since she shared photos of her back in May. Big Mama dropped some sweet flicks with her lil’ mama shortly after her album dropped.

Will Smith Fans Go After Jada Pinkett Over ‘Harsh’ Act In Video
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are once again making headlines after a brief interaction between the couple during a recent trip to Paris sparked debate online.
While some social media users questioned the nature of their relationship following the viral moment, the renewed attention comes amid ongoing public interest in their unconventional marriage.
Will Smith has also been plagued by a legal drama related to an alleged sexual assault, which a judge recently dismissed.

Will and Jada recently became the subject of online debate after a brief interaction between the couple in Paris sparked strong reactions across social media.
The pair, who have maintained an unconventional “life partnership” despite revealing they have lived separately since 2016, were in France alongside their children during Fashion Week events. Attention shifted to the couple after a video captured a moment outside their hotel.
In the clip, Will paused to greet supporters and sign autographs while a crowd of fans and photographers gathered nearby. As he interacted with admirers, Jada walked past him, briefly placing a hand on his back before continuing toward a waiting vehicle.
The seemingly ordinary exchange quickly became a talking point online after some social media users interpreted the gesture as dismissive, claiming she “shoved” her husband and briskly left him with fans.
Critics claimed Jada appeared uninterested in her husband’s interaction with the fans, with several commenters describing the moment as awkward and questioning the dynamic of their relationship.
See the viral clip here.
The Viral Video Has Led To Mixed Reactions Online

On social media, fans have shared different opinions on the interaction between Will and Jada, with some claiming she was being “harsh” to the actor.
One individual wrote in a viral post on X, “Jada Pinkett shoved Will Smith aside while he was signing autographs for fans and walked away like he was a complete stranger.”
Another person wrote, “She either has some crazy -ss blackmail on him or a voodoo spell because how the f-ck has he not walked away from this woman yet?”
However, many defended Jada, arguing that her interaction with Will was “normal” and showed no sign of friction.
“Y’all love to make something out of nothing. He stopped in the middle of the walkway as she was walking, and she was moving herself to walk away,” a person said.
Another wrote, “I think they [walked] together, then she just slides to the other side since she is not the one signing the autograph”
Jada Pinkett Smith Reflects On Separation From Will: ‘We Were Just Exhausted With Trying’

The discussion comes as public fascination with the couple’s relationship continues years after Jada revealed in 2023 that she and Will quietly separated in 2016. Despite living independently, the two have repeatedly emphasized that they remain committed to one another and have chosen not to end their marriage legally.
The couple, who married in 1997, have been open about the challenges they faced over the years. During interviews, Jada explained that both she and Will reached a point of exhaustion in trying to meet expectations they had for each other, leading them to redefine their relationship rather than formally divorce.
“By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying,” she said during an appearance on Today with Hoda Kotb. “I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”
She also revealed that a promise she made early in their marriage continues to influence their decision not to divorce. “I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever. And I just haven’t been able to break that promise,” she added.
Will Smith Lands Lead Role In ‘Supermax’ As Hollywood Comeback Continues

While their personal lives continue to attract attention, Will and Jada have remained active professionally. Will is set to star in “Supermax,” a crime thriller that marks one of his first major original film projects in several years.
The film follows two FBI agents investigating a murder inside one of the world’s most secure prisons. Production is expected to begin later this year, with Will taking on one of the lead roles.
The couple has also continued working together through Westbrook, their entertainment company, which recently secured a first-look deal with Paramount Pictures.
The partnership is seen as another step in Will’s gradual return to major Hollywood projects following the fallout from the 2022 Academy Awards incident involving Chris Rock. Under the arrangement, Will is expected to star in select productions, while Jada will focus on producing and developing content.
Will Smith Won An Early Court Battle After A Sexual Harassment Case Was Dismissed

Meanwhile, Will also scored a legal victory last month after a judge dismissed a sexual harassment lawsuit filed by former touring violinist Brian King Joseph.
Joseph alleged that an incident at a Las Vegas hotel in 2025 created a hostile work environment. According to court filings, he claimed that someone entered his hotel room without permission and left a handwritten note along with several personal items, including wipes, beer, and HIV medication.
He alleged the incident was connected to Will and later sued for sexual harassment and wrongful termination after claiming he was removed from his position for reporting his concerns.
However, the court ruled that the allegations, as presented, did not meet the legal standard required for a sexual harassment claim. The judge found that the complaint “fails to adequately allege conduct that is sufficiently severe or pervasive.”
The ruling also noted that Joseph had not established that Will or members of his management team were the only people who could have accessed the hotel room, citing circumstances suggesting others may have had access to the room key during the relevant period.
As a result, the lawsuit was dismissed. However, Joseph was granted permission to amend and refile his complaint if he is able to address the deficiencies identified by the court.

Jenifer Lewis Reveals Hidden Sex Battle That Shaped Her Life
Jenifer Lewis is looking back on one of the most personal chapters of her life. The “Black-ish” star recently opened up about her past struggles with sex addiction, revealing that intimacy became a coping mechanism during the height of her career as she searched for ways to come down from the adrenaline rush of performing.

Speaking candidly on Keke Palmer’s “Baby, This Is Keke Palmer” podcast, Lewis shared details about her journey, admitting she didn’t recognize her behavior as problematic at the time.
During the conversation, Lewis reflected on her younger years in the entertainment industry and the choices she made while navigating fame and success. “There’s no shame in my game,” she said before revealing she had been involved with dozens of men throughout her career.
Despite describing some of those experiences positively, Lewis acknowledged that her perspective has changed with age and self-reflection. Looking back, she said she wishes she had better understood her self-worth and viewed her body differently during that period of her life.
The Actress Says Sex Became A Way To Cope

Lewis explained that performing on stage often left her searching for a way to come down from the emotional high that came with audience applause and recognition.
According to the actress, many performers turn to various outlets after experiencing that rush, and for her, sex became the answer. “Sex was the drug,” Lewis admitted.
The Hollywood veteran said she didn’t initially recognize the behavior as an addiction because it felt normal within the environment she was living in at the time.
The AIDS Epidemic Changed Her Perspective

Lewis revealed that the AIDS crisis ultimately forced her to reevaluate her choices and consider deeper questions about her life. She recalled reaching a point where she realized there had to be more to life than chasing temporary fulfillment.
“I had known 200 people that died. And when I tell you they died like flies, they dropped like flies. I mean, you’d come home, and three would be dead. You come home, five would be dead on the phone machine,” Lewis told Palmer on the podcast. “It didn’t make sense because we were too young to experience that kind of death. You can deal with that when you’re wiser and older, and your older friends are dying. We were in our 20s for God’s sake.”
That realization sparked a personal journey focused on self-discovery, healing, and understanding what genuine love meant to her. Today, Lewis says she’s happier than ever and grateful for the life she’s built. “I feel better than I ever have. I’m so happy in my life,” she said.
Jenifer Lewis Has Been Open About Other Personal Struggles

Lewis has never shied away from discussing difficult chapters of her life. The actress previously revealed that she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in the early 1990s. At first, she resisted medication because she feared it would affect her creativity and performance abilities.
Eventually, however, she embraced treatment and has since become an advocate for mental health awareness. Over the years, Lewis has often spoken publicly about the importance of seeking help and removing the stigma surrounding mental health conditions.
The Actress Was Also Targeted In A Romance Scam

Lewis faced another painful experience in 2020 when she was identified as one of several women allegedly defrauded by California gym manager Antonio Mariot Wilson. Federal prosecutors accused Wilson of convincing multiple women to invest money in fake business ventures after developing romantic relationships with them.
According to reports, Lewis lost approximately $50,000 after Wilson allegedly persuaded her to invest in what he claimed was a legitimate film-related project. The actress later said Wilson had researched her online before approaching her at a Los Angeles-area gym and eventually convincing her to trust him.
Wilson ultimately agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud.
Jenifer Lewis Remains One Of Hollywood’s Most Beloved Performers

While younger audiences may know Lewis best as Ruby Johnson on ABC’s hit sitcom “Black-ish,” her career spans decades across television, film, and Broadway.
Her lengthy résumé includes memorable roles in projects such as “Beaches,” “Sister Act,” “Poetic Justice,” “The Preacher’s Wife,” “Cast Away,” “Girlfriends,” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

Mo’Nique Drags Oprah Over Viral Whitney Houston Comments
Roomies, Mo’Nique is once again making it very clear she’s not here for how some of Hollywood’s most powerful voices handle stories about the late Whitney Houston. And this time, she’s directly addressing Oprah Winfrey in a conversation that’s reigniting old tensions and sparking fresh debate online.

Mo’Nique Calls Out Oprah For Sharing Whitney Houston Moment
During a recent appearance on the ‘My Husband Is My Best Friend’ YouTube channel, Mo’Nique responds to questions about Oprah Winfrey revisiting a moment involving Whitney Houston allegedly falling during a 2009 taping of ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show.’ The Oscar-winning actress pushes back and questions why people publicly discuss private or sensitive details about someone who is no longer alive. “How do you speak about someone that can’t defend it?” Mo’Nique says, adding that it becomes unfair when audiences get expected to accept one narrative without hearing from the person involved. She also emphasizes that her comments don’t come from disrespect, but from accountability, noting, “I still love my sister, Oprah Winfrey… it’s simply just correction.”
What Sparked Mo’Nique’s Latest Call-Out Of Oprah?
The discussion stems from Oprah’s recent remarks at Cannes Lions, where she reflected on Whitney Houston’s final appearance on her talk show. Oprah claimed Whitney had “gone back on drugs” and referenced a moment where she said the singer “fell off of the stage,” adding that she discouraged audience members from sharing images out of concern for Whitney’s public image. Those comments quickly sparked pushback from Whitney Houston’s estate, which disputed the implication that drugs played a role in the fall. The estate maintains that Whitney slips during a soundcheck in a darkened area and is “absolutely not high,” urging that people don’t tie her personal struggles to every professional moment.
Mo’Nique also pointed out what she sees as a double standard, referencing Oprah’s own onstage fall in 2020 where she publicly attributed the incident to wearing the “wrong shoes.” While used as a comparison, Mo’Nique argued that living individuals are able to explain their experiences in real time, unlike Whitney, who can no longer respond for herself.
Wait… Don’t They Already Have Beef?
The conversation also ties into Mo’Nique’s long-standing tensions with Oprah, Tyler Perry, and Lee Daniels, dating back to the fallout from ‘Precious.’ Mo’Nique says Hollywood blackballs her after she speaks out about industry treatment following her Academy Award-winning role. She also calls out Oprah over a past episode involving her estranged family, saying she gets misled about who appears on camera and later feels blindsided by how the segment unfolds.

Jane Seymour and Dr. Quinn Costar Reveal Why They Broke Up
Former costars Jane Seymour and Joe Lando’s onscreen love affair on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman carried over to real life — but their offscreen romance didn’t last long.
The pair chatted to Entertainment Tonight about their reunion on AcornTV’s Harry Wild in a TikTok video posted on Friday, June 26, with Seymour, 75, laughing while insisting that it was Lando’s idea for them to “just be friends.”
“It was my fault,” Lando, 64, confessed, with Seymour adding. “I think it was your choice. I was a little sad. But then I also did the math and I realized that you had planned to have a life that didn’t include suddenly having two other children.”
At the time, Seymour had already shared two children — daughter Katherine, 44, and son Sean, 40 — with her third husband, Dylan Flynn. (She later welcomed twin sons, John and Kristopher, 30, with her fourth husband, James Keach. Seymour and Keach split in 2015.)
Lando’s rugged outdoorsman Byron Sully was the most popular love interest for Seymour’s title character, Dr. Michaela Quinn, during the CBS drama’s six-season run from 1993 to 1998.
“I think, actually, the fact that we did not end up having a relationship saved our relationship,” Seymour told her costar. “The best part of our relationship, we’ve kept and grown up, which is that we really, genuinely adore each other.”
Seymour added, “[Joe] has a fabulous wife and I have a pretty good man in my life!”
Lando has been married to Kirsten Barlow for 29 years and they share four children while Seymour announced her engagement to musician John Zambetti earlier this month.
In 2019, Seymour was less light-hearted about her split from Lando, recalling that it was “difficult” and “tough” to work with him after they broke up.

“We didn’t actually talk to each other, other than in dialogue or making out for about six or seven years,” Seymour exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “We, obviously, clearly loved one another and realized we couldn’t be actually in real-life together. I think we just played it [off] as Michaela and Sully.”
The two have since mended fences and are even working together again on Harry Wild, in which Seymour plays a retired literary professor who solves mysteries in her spare time. (Lando joined Harry Wild in season 5 as pathologist Pierce Kennedy.)
“The fans love seeing the two of us do almost anything together, but they wrote this for him,” Seymour told Us earlier this month.
She added, “I’m so grateful Joe and I have found some material we can do together right now. A new generation of young people are watching Harry Wild that are now going, ‘Wait a minute, what is that Dr. Quinn thing?’ Then they [watch and discover] Dr. Quinn is so current. We’re talking about racism, we’re talking about different cultures, religions, we’re talking about choices in medicine … and on and on and on.”
Harry Wild season 5 airs on AcornTV.

RHOP’s Mia Reacts to Claims She Edited Face Onto Model’s Body
Mia Thornton is pushing back against accusations that she Photoshopped her face onto influencer Sophie O’Neill’s body in a now-deleted Instagram post.
“Two seasons off Potomac… Y’all still talking about me. I’m busy adding 000’s to my bottom line with AI. We are not the same. 💋 #therealdeal #bornentertainer,” the former Real Housewives of Potomac star, 41, captioned her latest upload on Thursday, June 25, including a series of new pics before responding to a social media user calling her out about the rumored editing faux pas.
“Mia do you, but please don’t steal that ladies body anymore mmmkay 🤭🙌🏽,” the commenter wrote, to which Thornton replied, “She cute tho. And we got her her 20 seconds of fame. So mission accomplished. Y’all did your big one!”
Thornton spoke out amid online comparisons to a since-scrubbed image of her wearing a fitted white dress with a deep neckline and holding a matching handbag while striking a seemingly identical pose to a September 2025 photo previously shared by O’Neill — who also entered the chat.
“@mrsmiathornton — super imposing yourself onto my picture. The world is a very scary place these days — this is just sad,” the social media personality wrote. “Please can you remove the picture of ME with your head on it. Thanks.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Thornton for comment.
Amid the backlash online, Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Judge hopped on a new trend — which saw other social media users editing their faces onto the white dress photo.

Judge, 58, captioned her photo, “Completely untouched. Definitely not AI. 😌”
According to Daily Mail, Thornton also seemingly squashed the editing rumors by posting a separate image in the same outfit from a different setting, this time showing herself seated in a restaurant booth.
“Never needed clout,” she captioned the photo. “My name carries enough weight on its own.”
The Bravolebrity also wrote, “Let me guess, what’s her name has a photo sitting down inside the restaurant too.”

Superman packs a lot into its 129 minute runtime, including introducing fans to the staff of the Daily Planet, the Justice Gang, LuthorCorp, the Fortress of Solitude, and for the first time in live action, Krypto the Superdog. It’s a lot of work (re)establishing an entire cinematic universe with one film, but Gunn pulls it off. A calm, overly polite Superman (Daivd Corenswet) vs. an increasingly manic Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) is the dynamic we needed to see between the two classic archenemies.
It’s the supporting cast around Superman that steals the show. Nathan Fillion’s Guy Gardner is the annoying co-worker you want to punch in the face but can’t deny he gets the job done, while Isabela Merced’s Hawkgirl is the diminutive brawler and thankfully, there’s zero attempt at explaining her backstory. Edi Gathegi, as Mr. Terrific, finally receiving his second chance as a superhero after X-Men: First Class killed off Darwin in the dumbest way possible, was the film’s breakout star.
DC Scored A Win Over Marvel

Superman may have failed to reach a billion dollars at the box office but it manage to outgross every Marvel release of 2025: Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, and Fantastic Four: First Steps. With a $600 million worldwide gross, it was good enough for the number 10 spot for 2025, which isn’t bad, but for superhero movies, it feels like if they don’t break a billion, they are considered a failure. Removed from box office drama and taken on its own now that its onto a new streaming platform makes it easier to appreciate Gunn’s vision for what it is, and not what fans were expecting.
No one could have predicted that Corenswet would fit so easily into the boots of the legendary Christopher Reeve, or that his chemistry with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane would be electric. The problem now, is that with the follow up film, Supergirl, currently showing in theaters that there’s expectations for Gunn’s DC Universe. Early reviews for the adventure of Superman’s cousin, played by Milly Alcock, haven’t been great so far, but Warner Bros is invested in Gunn and looking at not only box office numbers, but merchandising, and, as Superman’s move to Amazon makes clear, licensing.
It’s A Bird! It’s A Plane! It’s Amazon Prime!

A bright, colorful, optimistic Superman sticks out in the current superhero landscape that’s becoming increasingly dour as the years go on and the initial audience that made the films a hit moves on to other things. When you sit back and fire up Superman on Amazon Prime don’t worry about the future of superhero movies, James Gunn’s plans for the future, or anything else for that matter. Relax and enjoy Corenswet, Brosnahan, and Hoult as the closest we’ve ever come to Reeve, Kidder, and Hackman since the 70s. Superman is a timeless character, and a year after its release, Superman is going to begin aging like a fine wine.
