Jason Momoa is finally getting the chance to play one of his favorite DC characters, but if the actor ever headlines a solo Lobo film, he already has one non-negotiable demand.

While speaking with Collider, Momoa made it clear that he has no interest in a watered-down version of the infamous intergalactic bounty hunter.

“It’s all I want, and I promise — I’m just going to put this out there right now — I do not have any interest in making a Lobo PG-13 movie. So, will he be a part of some other movies? If they want me, I’ll be there. But if I make a solo movie, I’m not doing it unless it’s rated R.”

The statement is likely to be welcomed by longtime DC fans. Since his debut in the comics, Lobo has earned a reputation as one of the publisher’s most outrageous antiheroes. Known for his brutal violence, dark humor, and complete disregard for authority, the character has often been viewed as a natural fit for an R-rated adaptation.

Momoa has spent years expressing his desire to play the Main Man. Long before his casting was officially announced, the actor frequently mentioned Lobo as a dream role and one he felt personally connected to. That dream finally becomes reality with his upcoming appearance in Supergirl, where audiences will get their first look at the new DC Universe’s version of the character.

The casting has generated significant excitement among fans, many of whom believe Momoa’s larger-than-life personality, physical presence, and love of the source material make him an ideal choice for the role. Unlike many comic book castings that take fans by surprise, Momoa’s portrayal of Lobo feels like a pairing that has been years in the making.

Although DC Studios has not announced a standalone Lobo movie, Momoa’s comments suggest he is more than willing to continue playing the character across multiple projects. However, he drew a clear line when it comes to a solo adventure. While he is open to appearing in other DCU films, he believes a proper Lobo movie should embrace the character’s mature roots rather than tone them down for a broader audience.

The idea may not be as far-fetched as it once seemed. Under the leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran, DC Studios has shown a willingness to explore projects aimed at different audiences. With R-rated comic book films continuing to find success both critically and commercially, an adult-oriented Lobo film could fit comfortably within the evolving DC Universe.

For now, fans will have to wait and see how audiences respond to Momoa’s debut in Supergirl. But if the actor ultimately gets his wish, the Main Man’s first solo outing will likely be every bit as loud, violent, and unapologetically over-the-top as fans have always imagined.

Second Lady Usha Vance is opening up about her husband Vice President JD Vance’s faith and failed attempts at conventional mental health therapy.

“It’s not that therapy doesn’t work for other people,” Usha, 40, told CBS’ Sunday Morning national correspondent Robert Costa on the Sunday, June 14, episode of the news program, confirming that she once told her husband, “Therapy didn’t work for you, church does.”

“JD just didn’t have the right kind of trust in that [therapy] process,” Usha continued. “He just didn’t feel at home in it, really exploring some of the feelings that he had in trying to figure out how he wanted to be the person that he wanted to be for the rest of his life.”

The vice president, 41, who converted to Catholicism in 2019, says part of his constant and relentless search for something that makes him feel “rooted” and “grounded” comes from his tumultuous upbringing in Middletown, Ohio, with divorced parents who split when he was a toddler and a mother who struggled with substance abuse issues.

A spokesperson for Usha Vance is clarifying the status of the second lady’s marriage after she was spotted without her wedding ring. “[She is] a mother of three young children, who does a lot of dishes, gives lots of baths, and forgets her ring sometimes,” a rep for Vance, 39, told People in a Saturday, […]

“I grew up in some ways in a very non-traditional household,” JD explained in the same Sunday interview. “Revolving door of people coming in, people coming out. Raised by my grandparents at some points and my parents at some points — my mom, my dad. So there was a certain movement and chaos to my youth. And I do think that I was searching for something that, again, was a little more rooted and a little more stable.”

Despite his faith bringing him a sense of self-understanding and direction, JD has found himself at odds with the leader of his Catholic faith, Pope Leo XIV, over his alliance with President Donald Trump’s and his controversial administrative priorities, including immigration and the war in Iran.

“When it comes to disagreements with the Vatican, we’re going to have disagreements from time to time,” the vice president told Fox News back in April. “I think it’s a good thing, actually, that the Pope is advocating for the things that he cares about. But we’re always going to have disagreements on matters of public policy.”

JD added at the time, “The Pope has been critical of our immigration policy, but ultimately the immigration policy of the United States is set by Donald Trump. The Pope is going to have disagreements on other issues. We certainly respect the Pope, we certainly have a good relationship with the Vatican.”

Fox News host Dana Perino firmly believes that Americans are more alike than they are different. “We are in a period of pretty extreme polarization, but once you strip away social media and you actually meet people, it doesn’t matter where they are in the country,” Perino, 53, exclusively shared with Us Weekly while promoting […]

Despite the vice president’s claims that the Trump administration is on good terms with the leader of the Catholic faith, the president himself has taken public and seemingly personal aim at Pope Frances.

“[The Pope] talks about ‘fear’ of the Trump administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside and being ten and even twenty feet apart,” Trump claimed via his social media platform, Truth Social, on April 12, going on to call the Pope “weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy.”

“The Princess Diaries 3” may finally be closer to reality. More than two decades after audiences first watched Mia Thermopolis transform from awkward teen to royal icon, producer Debra Martin Chase says the long-awaited third installment is actively moving forward.

Chase, who produced the first two “Princess Diaries” films, recently shared an encouraging update while attending the Black Women on Broadway Awards in New York City.

Speaking with PEOPLE, the longtime producer said momentum on the highly anticipated sequel is building. “We are more than hopeful,” Chase said. “We are moving in that direction. We’ve done a lot of groundwork.”

The producer added that the team had originally hoped cameras would begin rolling this year. “We had hoped to be shooting this year. So, it’s coming. We’re intent upon making it happen. And we’re excited that the people are excited,” she said. “Every time something happens and we get the thing, it’s like, ‘Yay, okay, keep going!’ ”

Anne Hathaway Is Expected To Return As Mia Thermopolis

Though plot details remain tightly under wraps, Anne Hathaway is expected to reprise her beloved role as Mia Thermopolis. Fans last saw the character in 2004’s “The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement,” where Mia officially stepped into her role as Queen of Genovia.

The third installment was officially confirmed in 2024, sending longtime fans of the Disney franchise into celebration mode.

Garry Marshall’s Daughter Recently Shared Another Encouraging Update

Earlier this year, Kathleen Marshall, daughter of late “Princess Diaries” director Garry Marshall, also hinted that the project was making real progress. While attending the opening night of Beaches on Broadway in April, Kathleen shared an optimistic update about the film’s future.

“We’re working on ‘Princess Diaries 3,’” she said, adding that she’s “excited to be a part of anything” connected to the franchise. “It’s working out,” Kathleen added, noting that they hope the movie is “the next thing” for Hathaway.

“We’re moving it along,” she continued. “I mean, there’s just an incredible team in place. So it’s coming. It’s coming.”

Anne Hathaway Previously Admitted She Wants To Return

Long before Disney officially announced the sequel, Hathaway made it clear she was eager to return to Genovia. Speaking to Vanity Fair in April 2024, the Oscar winner described “The Princess Diaries” as “the film that changed my life.”

“It’s so weird to watch it, I haven’t seen this movie in maybe 20 years, and it’s, I’m a little bit speechless with this one,” she continued. “Actually, it’s very emotional to see it.”

She also addressed fan anticipation during a 2023 interview with PEOPLE, admitting the long wait for a third movie could understandably feel frustrating. Still, Hathaway reminded fans that movie development takes time. “It’s a process that requires patience … this is how long it actually takes to make things,” she said.

Anne Hathaway Previously Reflected On Julie Andrews’ Lasting Influence

Also during her April 2024 Vanity Fair cover story, the actress looked back on filming 2001’s “The Princess Diaries,” where she starred opposite Julie Andrews, who famously played Queen Clarisse Renaldi. “I’ve learned that I want to handle myself in a way that I’m going to be proud of at a later date,” Hathaway said while recalling Andrews’ kindness on set.

According to Hathaway, Andrews made a point to stay behind after filming each day to sign autographs for fans, something that left a lasting impression on the actress. “She respected that they had a relationship to her work that spanned their entire lives and made it a beautiful experience for them,” Hathaway said of the Oscar-winning “Mary Poppins” star.

While fans eagerly await her return to Genovia, Hathaway has remained booked and busy in Hollywood. More recently, the Oscar-winning actress returned to another fan-favorite franchise, reprising her role as Andy Sachs in “The Devil Wears Prada 2.” The highly anticipated sequel brought Hathaway back alongside original stars Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Stanley Tucci, more than 20 years after the beloved 2006 film first hit theaters.

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” proved to be a major box office hit, earning an impressive $675.9 million globally against its $100 million production budget. Of that total, approximately $217 million came from domestic ticket sales in North America, while international markets contributed an additional $458.6 million.

Former The Ellen DeGeneres Show child star Sophia Grace Brownlee is pregnant with her third baby.

“We are so excited to meet you 🤍,” Brownlee, 23, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, June 14, alongside footage of herself showing her son River, 3, and daughter Athena, 18 months, holding ultrasound photos.

Brownlee also added “Pregnant,” “Pregnancy,” “Mom of 3” and “3 Family Siblings” hashtag to her announcement.

Brownlee, who rose to fame as a child dancing to Nicki Minaj’s “Superbass” on DeGeneres’ now-defunct talk show, welcomed River in March 2023. Athena followed in December 2024. (Brownlee has never publicly identified the father of her children.)

“I was quite young when I had River. I was 19, which I do feel like is quite young,” the social media star recalled on the “Private Story” podcast in February, recalling her experience as a young mother. “I don’t regret, like, doing anything because I’m quite happy with where I am now. When I had Athena, I was 21, which is a bit more older.”

She continued at the time, “It’s obviously young to have kids, but I don’t really think there’s a right age to have kids as long as you’re ready and you’re mature enough, that’s all that matters.”

For Brownlee, she stated that she felt “financially stable” enough to have a family because of her childhood fame and salary.

“If I wasn’t, like, I would have been struggling a lot,” she acknowledged. “So, yeah, I’m blessed to have been in that situation.”

While Brownlee has enjoyed motherhood, it has taken her awhile to feel comfortable after an admittedly scary childbirth experience.

“It actually went quite bad with River. It wasn’t a nice experience,” she recalled on the podcast. “I went into labor naturally, and I was just a week early, which is common. That’s not a problem, and everything was fine. It just, kind of, got bad when you’re actually trying to push the baby out. He was getting really stressed out, and he just wouldn’t come down properly like how [babies] are supposed to.”

Brownlee added, “Loads of different doctors and surgeons [came into my room], which is so scary. I was, like, ‘What’s happening?’ They were, like, ‘We think we’re going to have to do a C-section because the baby’s getting distressed.’ I was just so scared that they were going to put me to sleep ‘cause that is one of my biggest fears because I think I’m not going to wake up.”

Courtesy of Rosie McClelland/Instagram Two weeks after announcing the birth of her second child, Sophia Grace Brownlee is sharing an update. On January 5, Brownlee announced that her second child, a baby girl, was born on December 29. Now, Brownlee is announcing her infant daughter’s name. On January 19, the social media star, who became […]

Brownlee, who found her emergency C-section to be “one of the scariest times” in her life, later had a vaginal delivery — also known as a VBAC, or vaginal birth after C-section — with baby No. 2.

“Because I had a C-section, they were like, ‘We’re going to book you in for another one,’” she said in February of welcoming Athena. “That’s what they like to do, but the midwives were, like, ‘No, we think you can have her naturally, so at least try.’ I did, and it went so quickly. … I was so proud of myself, and I was glad I got to experience a natural birth, which I would choose every time over a C-section.”

It’s been nearly a year since one of America’s favorite British detective series last aired, yet anticipation for its return remains as strong as ever. The previous season’s eight episodes aired on PBS Masterpiece in the U.S. from June 15 to August 3, 2025, while the season was broadcast on ITV in the UK from January 7 to February 19, 2026. Fortunately for American viewers, the new season arrives in just a few days and will feature several new faces, including a fan favorite from another beloved British drama, All Creatures Great and Small.

According to new reports, Grantchester returns on June 14, 2026, for its 11th and final season, with Nicholas Ralph set to make a memorable appearance. Ralph is best known for playing veterinary surgeon James Herriot in All Creatures Great and Small, which was renewed for seventh and eighth seasons last November. In Grantchester, the Scottish actor will appear in the July 12 episode as John Planer, a clergyman who has recently returned to England after serving on a mission in Africa. Showrunner Daisy Coulam revealed that the Grantchester episode was inspired by the award-winning film Conclave, with the idea of “getting loads of religious men together and seeing what happens.” However, she noted that the episode is considerably funnier than the acclaimed film.

What Happens When ‘Grantchester’ Returns?

In Ralph’s episode, Alphy (Rishi Nair) encounters John during a visit to Bishop Grey’s (Stuart Bowman) palatial home, where a group of vicars has gathered for a weekend retreat. Nair, who made his Grantchester debut in Season 9, had nothing but praise for his new co-star, describing Ralph as “a great actor to work with” and someone he got along with very well.

As for what unfolds in the episode, the gathering takes a dark turn when the vicars, all eager to curry favor with the bishop, become suspects in the death of a man whose body is discovered nearby. With the victim found clutching a Bible, detectives Geordie Keating (Robson Green) and Larry Peters (Bradley Hall) enlist their resident crime-solving clergyman to help with the investigation. Matters become even more complicated for Alphy when he realizes that some of his fellow men of the cloth are not being truthful, further fueling his ongoing struggle with his faith. Also returning for Grantchester Season 11 is Alphy’s love interest, Meg (Christie Russell-Brown), whose father, as viewers may recall, is Bishop Grey.

Grantchester Season 11 premieres this month on PBS.

When JJ Maybank (Rudy Pankow) died at the end of Season 4 of Outer Banks, fans were dealt a major blow. However, creators Jonas Pate, Josh Pate, and Shannon Burke have actually made the best decisions for the show’s upcoming and final season. For the first four seasons, JJ was a great character who helped move the storyline forward, but his own personal character arc fell flat, leaving little room for the Pogues to grow as individuals or as a group. It was often the Pogue’s altercations with the Kooks — namely, Rafe Cameron (Drew Starkey) — led to countless twists and turns for all the characters in Season 4.

Now, with JJ dead, it’s clear that Rafe is one of the best replacements. Yes, Rafe is known for his volatile relationships, especially with his Kook-Turned-Pogue sister Sarah (Madelyn Cline). Although Season 4 had a ton of flaws, it still set the stage for a reformed version of Rafe to emerge. Rafe’s interactions with the Pogues could create just enough drama to make Season 5 the Outer Bank’s best season yet. And there’s no reason Rafe’s proposed redemption character arc can’t make this happen.

Rafe Joining the Pogues Will Change the Show’s Entire Dynamic

Whether it’s television or a movie, character arcs set the tone for the entire performance, and Rafe is primed to fill this role. He’s demonstrated himself to be a person of highly questionable morals, especially when you consider his despicable actions towards his sister. But throughout Season 4, audiences saw a lighter side of Rafe. He reached out to Sarah, trying to fix the bond he had broken, even if indirectly. He even helped the Pogues toward the end of the season, securing them a boat for their next venture. Sure, it wasn’t altruistic, as Rafe had ulterior motives. However, these are signs that signal that all hope is not lost for him.

With a less-than-stellar father figure (and that’s putting it lightly), Rafe and Sarah were forced to forge their own paths. Sarah found the Pogues, while Rafe continued to run with the Kooks. At times, Rafe was absolutely one of the most selfish men on TV, but his relationship with Sofia (Fiona Palomo) has softened him, and the loss of his father has made him question his life decisions. Even after finding out about Sofia’s betrayal, it’s possible that he could form some alliance or friendship with Kiara (Madison Bailey) and reconcile the bad blood between them that came from when they were captured by Carlos Singh (Andy McQueen).

New Character Arcs Teach Valuable Lessons

If Season 5 continues to follow Sarah’s pregnancy (instead of fast-forwarding), audiences may get to see the siblings bonding over a new family member instead of constantly rehashing the past. There are opportunities for John B (Chase Stokes) to overcome his aggression towards the Kooks, with Rafe providing crucial insight that may bridge the gap between the two groups. No, there doesn’t need to be a completely harmonious relationship between them, but John B and Rafe burying the hatchet shows that people are capable of change, allowing Outer Banks to have some uplifting moments and show that these two groups can break the cycle of prejudice.

And while it doesn’t excuse his behavior, Rafe has also overcome several obstacles that open the door for honest discussions about unresolved trauma from his childhood. By allowing Rafe to assume JJ’s empty space on Outer Banks, creators allow the show to reach its conclusion with a fresh perspective. Redeeming Rafe makes sense, but it has to feel earned. Rafe’s unique position between the Kooks and the Pogues could also help the show bridge the gap between the two groups. Rafe might help find common ground between the two groups. It would be exciting to see Rafe actually acknowledge the trauma he’s dealt with and find a place among the Pogues. Let’s be honest, JJ’s antics were beginning to feel repetitive, Rafe joining the group could help the Pogues in a way JJ never could.

There are two important reasons why Ryan Murphy’s bloody new series setting its release date is important for psychological-gore fans. The first is that it’s Bret Easton Ellis’s story, and his horror stories usually come dressed as money, taste, youth, parties, beautiful people, expensive rooms, and the awful feeling that everyone is performing normality a little too well. The second is that while the film is helmed by Max Winkler, the development of it all and exec-producing credit go to Murphy, who is the brains behind American Horror Story.

When Ellis’s writing and Murphy’s work are combined, you kind of get a modern American Psycho. And the synopsis of the upcoming Murphy film basically tells that it is “a dark, coming-of-age horror thriller set in Los Angeles in 1981 and follows a group of privileged prep school seniors, whose reality is shattered by a serial killer.” That’s almost American Psycho, but instead of the corporate world, it’s the world of school seniors.

The series is The Shards, and it premieres August 5 on FX and Hulu, with international streaming through Disney+. Igby Rigney stars as a 17-year-old version of Ellis, while Homer Gere plays Robert Mallory. The cast also includes Kaia Gerber, Hayes Warner, Graham Campbell, Wes Bentley, Evan Rachel Wood, and Jordan Roth. Ellis’ novel first appeared as a serialized audiobook before its 2023 publication, and now Wrinkler and Murphy, among others, get to turn it into a full television nightmare about adolescence, class, beauty, and blood in Reagan-era Los Angeles.

‘The Shards’ Has a Nuanced Hook Rather Than a Simple-Rich-Kids-in-Danger Thriller

The story of The Shards goes back to Ellis’ own teenage mythology, taking place in 1981 Los Angeles at an elite prep school, where wealthy seniors are already drowning in jealousy, obsession, image, and sexual tension before the murder angle fully takes over. So the show might have some of those Netflix’s Elite-ish vibes in there too. Then Robert Mallory (Homer Gere) shows up, and his arrival happens to coincide with the terror caused by a serial killer known as The Trawler. That is where the series gets its classic Ellis pressure.

The Shards is coming to FX and Hulu starting August 5, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Former San Francisco 49ers star Aldon Smith unexpectedly and tragically died in June 2026 at the age of 36.

“We are devastated by the sudden and tragic passing of Aldon Smith,” the 49ers wrote in a social media statement, announcing Smith’s death. “Aldon’s undeniable talent and sheer dominance on the field were on display from the moment he joined our organization, having recorded one of the best rookie seasons the National Football League has seen.”

Smith was drafted by the 49ers in 2011, playing with the team for four years before he was released in 2015. The NFL star later signed with the Oakland Raiders but was ultimately suspended over a series of off-the-field issues. He briefly returned to the gridiron in 2020 and 2021 as a member of the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks, respectively, before his eventual retirement.

At the end of the month, comedy acting icon Catherine O’Hara died at age 71. In February, Dawson’s Creek actor James Van Der Beek died at age […]

What Happened to Aldon Smith?

News broke on June 13, 2026, that Smith died without further details revealed. According to his friend Amir Shirazi, the retired athlete was found unresponsive after the pair visited a local charity to donate food that day.

“He was perfectly fine an hour before,” Shirazi told the San Francisco Chronicle. “I came out and he was basically dead in my front seat. I’m just in shock.”

After their delivery, Shirazi and Smith returned to Shirazi’s house. He later found Smith slumped over in his car and believes that Smith died of natural causes.

“He was a very sweet, caring, loving giant,” Shirazi added of his late friend. “That if you really knew him, you’d know who he truly is.”

Aldon Smith Donated to Charity Less Than 1 Hour Before His Death

Smith and his friend, Shirazi, went to donate food at CHAM Deliverance Ministry in San Jose, California, early on June 13, 2026.

“My impression was that this is a young man that wanted to help the homeless, which was great,” CHAM founder Scott Wagers told the San Francisco Chronicle. “When the 49ers and people like that want to help the community, that’s everything.”

Wagers founded CHAM to “feed, clothe, provide other basic necessities, offer hope, encouragement and the Word” to those in need, according to its website.

San Francisco 49ers Speak Out

A representative for the team issued a statement on June 13, 2026, hours after Smith’s death.

“Beyond his excellence as a player, Aldon will be remembered for his infectious smile that lit up every room he walked into,” the statement read. “Our entire organization sends its deepest condolences to the Smith family and all who knew and loved Aldon.”

Country singer Tyler Farr was unable to perform at the Goshen Stampede in Connecticut after sustaining a “severe concussion” in a farming accident.

“Due to a motor vehicle incident on his farm, Tyler Farr was taken to a local hospital and diagnosed with a severe concussion,” a Saturday, June 13, social media statement from event organizers read, announcing the show’s cancellation. “Tyler Farr will no longer be able to perform at the Goshen Stampede on June 13, 2026. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and will share additional event information as it becomes available. We wish Tyler a speedy recovery.”

Farr, 42, was replaced by David Foster and the All Stars during the festival.

“We are fortunate to have David Foster and the All Stars step in for Tyler,” the event’s statement continued. “With numerous performances, including legendary appearances at Mohegan Sun Casino, the All Stars are a legendary New England group of musicians led by Dr. David ‘Lefty’ Foster, performing legendary classic rock, country and R&B hits.”

The Instagram message concluded, “The Goshen Stampede is full steam ahead with all everts, and we’re excited to get down, dirty and country with two huge rodeos, truck pulls, monster trucks, great food, carnival rides and family fun! Gates open at 11 a.m. today. Let’s rodeo!”

Farr, who has not addressed his condition or the show cancellation, rose to country music fame in 2012.

“I grew up in a small town in pretty much the middle of the United States [in] Garden City, Missouri. There’s about 1,000 people there,” Farr recalled to Taste of Country in November 2012 of his rural upbringing. “When you grow up in a town like that, you breathe and eat the country and that lifestyle [because] there’s not a lot to do. You either take over your family farm or you go work for the union, and you see some people go to college.

A24 has one of the cleanest reputations in Hollywood, with its record of near-perfect releases frankly remarkable. Most recently, A24 delivered one of its most viral films of the past year in Backrooms, an unsettling, David Lynch-esque horror movie based on a viral 2019 creepypasta. So impressive that it derailed the theatrical run of The Mandalorian and Grogu, the Renate Reinsve and Chiwetel Ejiofor-led film has already made history, with 20-year-old Kane Parsons now the youngest director to hold the #1 spot at the North American box office.

Backrooms might be the most popular A24 release of 2026 yet, but it is far from the only one worthy of praise. Other A24 movies to debut in theaters in the first half of the year include the micro-budget horror Undertone, the Glen Powell-led How to Make a Killing, Harry Lighton’s R-rated romance Pillion, and Zendaya and Robert Pattinson‘s The Drama. All these movies come in advance of A24’s most ambitious project yet, as they join the many others adapting video games with Elden Ring, which is currently scheduled to be released in theaters in March 2028.

Beyond all that, one of the most underrated A24 projects of 2026 is currently proving popular on streaming, following its debut on HBO Max on May 29. The film in question is The Moment, a mockumentary that sees the hugely popular Charli XCX satirize fame and fortune through a digital lens. Although the film made just shy of $5 million at the global box office, it actually became the third-biggest limited opening of the last five years in theaters, behind Marty Supreme and Wes Anderson‘s Asteroid City. Four months since its theatrical debut, The Moment is an instant streaming hit, becoming one of the ten most-streamed movies on HBO Max in the U.S.

What Did Critics Say About ‘The Moment’?

Mockumentaries are famously difficult to earn universal critical praise from. With that in mind, an average score of 67% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes is a strong reception for The Moment, even if Screen Rant called it an “unmitigated disaster.” Ross Bonaime’s review for Collider was much more positive, awarding a 7/10 score and saying, “The Moment is a delightful spotlight for Charli XCX as an actor, and the concept itself finds some playful ways to expand on the lore of her massively successful album.”

The Moment is streaming now on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming stories.
