Right now, one of the most powerful entities in the entire world is on the hunt for James Bond. No, I’m not talking about Blofeld, Goldfinger, or any of the rest of 007’s colorful rogues’ gallery. Instead, I’m talking about Amazon, which (after shelling out a whopping billion dollars) now has full creative control over the James Bond character. They’re eager to start pumping out new movies and (in all likelihood) new TV shows, but that can’t happen until they find a new Bond actor to replace Daniel Craig.

Right now, fans are mostly speculating who will get the coveted role, and various names (including Callum Turner, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and even Jacob Elordi) keep churning through the rumor mill. However, it’s arguably more interesting to speculate about what the new 007 films will actually be like. Will we be getting more movies in the ultra-serious vein of the Craig movies? The answer is almost certainly “no,” and it’s all due to the Austin Powers films, which parodied James Bond and absolutely dominated the ‘90s.

A License To Shag

I know what you’re thinking. “What in the name of a Swedish-made penis enlarger does a ‘90s film franchise have to do with modern Bond?” Back in 2012, Daniel Craig sat down for an interview with the 007 fan site MI6 in order to promote Skyfall. He began discussing why Casino Royale was such a serious movie compared to many of the earlier Bond films. Mid-interview, Craig surprisingly laid the blame for this creative decision on one man: Austin Powers star Mike Myers.

“We had to destroy the myth because Mike Myers f*cked us,” Craig said with hilarious vulgarity. While acknowledging his love for the actor, the Knives Out star reiterated how his franchise had been done dirty by the former Saturday Night Live icon. “He kind of f*cked us; made it impossible to do the gags.” In other words, the Austin Powers films did such a good job making fun of the sillier aspects of 007 that Craig’s Bond films had to throw those things out unless they wanted filmgoers to see their new star as an instant punchline.

Back To Brosnan (Sort Of)

So, the popularity of the Austin Powers films explains why Daniel Craig’s 007 movies were so serious. Why, though, do I think Mike Myers’ movies will help determine the tone of the next Bond film? Simple: it’s all about course correction. The Austin Powers movies made the Bond filmmakers feel as if they had leaned too far into the silliness of their character, so they tried to fix this by making 007 into more of a grim warrior. Now, the ultra-gritty Bond has been the norm for over two decades, so it stands to reason that the pendulum will swing the other way and we’ll get a more lighthearted 007.

Now, does that mean that the next Bond actor will be as silly as Roger Moore, whose zany antics largely inspired the Austin Powers character? Probably not. But we’ll likely get someone akin to Pierce Brosnan, who did a great job blending serious and comedic elements into his 007 movies. That would help to give the Amazon era of the franchise more mainstream appeal while distinguishing the new Bond from other, overly serious action heroes like John Reacher and John Wick.

Of course, all of this is arguably putting the cart before the horse (or should that be Aston Martin?). Before anyone at Amazon can earnestly work on the next chapter for 007, they’ll need to cast the next James Bond actor. Will it be someone the fans have been clamoring for, or will the casting choice be a complete surprise? Either way, one thing’s for sure: the internet will be arguing about the choice of actor until the heat death of the universe. Or, at the very least, until an AI (probably one made by Amazon) rises up and kills us all.

Roomies, when it comes to Drake, the “6 God” stays finding new ways to tap in with fans in real life. And, his latest surprise moment out in upstate New York had the internet in full “this is too wholesome” mode, after he pulled up on a family and turned a regular day into something they’ll probably never forget.

Drake Surprises Family With Gift & School Pick-Up Moment

The Toronto rapper reportedly pulled up on content creator NYFlavaaa and his family after garnering online attention for singing along to Drake songs with his kids in the car. Things got even more surreal when Drake showed up, hopped in the mix, and even picked up the creator’s daughter from school — before surprising the family with a brand new Escalade SUV for the “gang members,” as he joked on social media. The moment quickly turned into a full-circle experience as the family reacted in real time, with the daughter even going bar-for-bar with Drake on his ‘Janice STFU’ record in less than a week of learning it.

Surprise Escalade Leaves Family Emotional On IG

Drake later shared the moment on his Instagram Story, writing, “Finally made it to see the family [nyflavaaa] Picked our goat up from school and a new Escalade for the gang members cause why not.” Meanwhile, NYFlavaaa became emotional while reacting on his own IG Story, saying through tears, “This motherf–ker gave me an Escalade… thank you Jesus, thank you Drake, Chubbs — it’s love,” as the surprise clearly left the entire family overwhelmed in the best way possible.

The Internet Didn’t Miss This One

One Instagram user @juicemayn wrote, “I appreciate she said “brother “. Gives me hope for this generation“

This Instagram user @nigerianwifeyy said, “Why’s no one talking about the baby in the back 😂😍”

And, Instagram user @beloved1906 added, “‘The 🧊man himself’ 🔥🔥😭😭 she slidddd tho fr 😂🔥”

Meanwhile, Instagram user @inkandcopy claimed, “Nah, drake a real one for this. All these years yall showed him so much love. Well deserved. 🙌”

While Instagram user @mamajaguarrr commented, “Aye girlie flowin’‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️”

Lastly, Instagram user @gioneligarcia shared, “this made me so happy“

Amazon and MGM+ may have just delivered one of the most unique superhero shows in years with Spider-Noir. Early reactions across the internet have been overwhelmingly positive, with critics praising the series’ striking noir aesthetic, Nicolas Cage’s magnetic performance, and its refreshing departure from the traditional Marvel formula.

Set in a gritty 1930s New York, the series follows Ben Reilly, an aging private investigator haunted by his past life as the city’s masked vigilante. Rather than leaning into modern superhero spectacle, Spider-Noir embraces detective noir, gangster drama, smoky jazz lounges, femme fatales, and brutal street-level crime. The result feels less like a standard comic book adaptation and more like a lost Humphrey Bogart thriller that just happens to feature Spider-Man.

And at the center of it all is Nicolas Cage, who appears completely locked into the role. Multiple critics have singled him out as the show’s greatest strength, with some describing the performance as “peak Nicolas Cage” in the best possible way. Cage reportedly approached the character as “70% Bogart and 30% Bugs Bunny,” and somehow that bizarre combination works perfectly for the tone this series is chasing.

One of the biggest talking points online has been the show’s presentation. Spider-Noir will be available in both full color and authentic black-and-white versions, though nearly every early reaction suggests the monochrome format is the definitive way to watch it. Critics say the black-and-white cinematography gives the series a timeless quality that separates it from nearly every superhero project currently streaming.

The internet reaction has also compared the atmosphere and style to Batman: The Animated Series, with viewers praising its moody visuals, mature storytelling, and commitment to noir worldbuilding.

That said, some reviews note the supporting cast occasionally gets overshadowed by Cage’s larger-than-life performance. Still, most critics agree the series succeeds because it fully commits to its identity instead of trying to imitate the MCU formula.

Currently sitting at 82% on Rotten Tomatoes, Spider-Noir already looks poised to become a breakout hit among comic book fans looking for something darker, stranger, and far more cinematic than the average superhero series.

Marvel has spent years experimenting with multiverse storytelling, but Spider-Noir may finally be the project that proves these alternate Spider-Man worlds can truly stand on their own.

Britney Spears invited police officers to her house for lasagna and to use her pool during her March DUI arrest, according to newly released footage.

“You can come to my house. I’ll make you food or lasagna or whatever you want. I have a pool,” Spears, 44, told officers when she was pulled over by the California Highway Patrol in Ventura County, California, on March 4, as seen in a video published by TMZ on Thursday, May 21.

Spears also spoke in a British accent at times, per a police report obtained by Us Weekly.

“Her mood changed from confrontational and agitated to flamboyant and compliant,” the arresting officer noted in his report.

Britney Spears was arrested for driving under the influence on March 4. She pleaded guilty to “wet reckless driving” to avoid jail time two months later. Following her March arrest, Spears voluntarily went into a treatment center in April and was officially charged with a DUI on April 30. That same month, Spears’ lawyer represented […]

The police report noted that the officer who pulled the singer over detected a “distinct odor of an alcoholic beverage” from her vehicle. Spears told officers she had had only one champagne mimosa seven hours earlier.

“I could probably drink four bottles of wine and take care of you. I’m an angel,” she said.

According to the report, the “Womanizer” singer confirmed she had taken prescription drugs on the day of her arrest, including 200mg of anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer Lamictal, 40mg of antidepressant Prozac and 2.5 mg of ADHD medication Adderall.

“[An officer] located a brown purse that contained a bottle of pills labeled ‘Adderall,’ which were not prescribed to Spears,” the report said. “[The officer] also observed an empty wine glass in the cup holder between the front driver seat and passenger seat.”

Us Weekly reached out to Spears’ representative for comment.

Spears was initially charged with driving under the influence, but the star pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of “wet reckless driving” earlier in May as part of a plea deal.

“Through her plea today, Britney has accepted responsibility for her conduct,” Spears’ lawyer, Michael Goldstein, told Us in a statement on May 4. “She has taken significant steps to implement positive change, which is clearly reflected in the Ventura County District Attorney’s decision to reduce the charge in this case and dismiss the DUI. Britney appreciates this discretion and is also grateful for the outpouring of support she has received.”

“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ spokesperson told Us following her arrest in March. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”

Tom Hardy has reportedly been axed from the third season of the hit Paramount+ show MobLand after clashing with producers.

Veteran entertainment journalist Matthew Belloni reported in his Puck newsletter on Thursday, May 21, that Paramount opted not to pick up Hardy’s option for season 3 amid on-set tensions during the production of the show’s second season.
