Donald Glover has become one of those artists when, if his name is attached, you expect a certain level of quality. From his music to his show Atlanta, to even his new series Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Glover never feels like he’s working for a paycheck. He’s working to be creative and interesting, and because he thinks the end product will be worth it.Which, frankly, is why it was such a surprise to hear that he and his brother Stephen had taken the reins of a Star Wars movie. The Glovers are currently developing a Lando film…

Of all the stories that are told about Wolfgang Mozart’s visits to Italy, one exceeds all others in fame. It concerns the day in Rome in April 1770 when the 14-year-old Mozart first heard Gregorio Allegri’s Miserere, an unaccompanied nine-part polyphonic setting of a psalm that normally lasts about 13 minutes. The Miserere rises repeatedly to an ethereal top C, a haunting moment that had already given the work Europe-wide mystique in Mozart’s time and ensures that it is still widely performed and recorded today.The…

In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’s multiverse extravaganza, any Spider-Man ever made is fair game. We know as much from the movie’s trailers, which have made direct (jokey) reference to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But as the full movie reveals, Spider-Man villains are fair game, too.
