LYRIC OF THE DAY: “My mind is set on overdrive The clock is laughin’ in my face A crooked spine, my senses dulled Past the point of delirium.” – Green Day “Brain Stew”

Welcome to Movies That Matter, where we look at three movies worth knowing about before the weekend begins.
Facebook is getting exposed again, Jessica Chastain has a really creepy houseguest, and Dolly Parton is heading back to the office.
(Countdown Video)
What’s new? The Social Network grew up – and Aaron Sorkin is taking us back into the world of Facebook with The Social Reckoning.
(The Social Reckoning clip – “The Algorithm Changed”)
Mikey Madison plays whistleblower Frances Haugen, who teams up with a Wall Street Journal reporter played by Jeremy Allen White to expose some of Facebook’s biggest secrets.
(The Social Reckoning clip – “We did.”)
And if social media isn’t scary enough…
(Other Mommy clip “Can I go into your heart?”)
Jessica Chastain stars in Other Mommy, playing both a young girl’s mom… and the creepy thing pretending to be her.
(Other Mommy clip “Where is she?”)
So if a creepy copy of your mom asks to come inside…
Just don’t open the door.
(Other Mommy clip – Mom Smiling)
And finally…
9 to 5 is returning to theaters for a special one-week engagement.
Dolly’s back on the big screen – and there’s an even better reason to go.
Net proceeds from U.S. ticket sales will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library through the Dollywood Foundation.
(9 to 5 clip)
46 years later… they’re still working 9 to 5.
That’s this weekend’s Movies That Matter. From Facebook whistleblowers to creepy double mommies to one very familiar office, there should be something waiting for you at the movies.
Until next time – keep on popping the corn.

Welcome to Music That Matters with 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday.
This week: Miranda Lambert goes disco, Quavo hits the high seas with Pharrell, and Dead Poet Society brings the rock.
Plus, Lil Nas X, Father John Misty, and some previously unheard Mac Miller music on vinyl.
(Countdown Video)
3 major album drops.
First up – Miranda Lambert has gone country disco with Crisco.
(“Crisco” clip)
The album has some serious ’70s energy, and she even brought in Chris Stapleton and Ella Langley for a little extra help.
By the way – with a title like Crisco, you would think somebody would make a butter-colored vinyl edition.
But guess what? They did.
(“A Song to Sing” clip)
Next, Quavo teamed up with Pharrell Williams, who executive produced the album: QRÖMELIFE
(“Backwards” clip)
And apparently, some of this collaboration happened aboard Pharrell’s yacht.
So that’s Quavo, Pharrell, and a recording studio floating somewhere in the ocean.
Yeah, of course, I’m jealous.
(“BA” clip)
And finally, Dead Poet Society with their third album, Monarch.
They brought in Paul Meany from Mutemath to produce it.
If you enjoy heavier alternative rock with some serious grooves, give this band a listen.
(“Cold” clip)
2 new singles.
Returning is Lil Nas X with “World’s Greatest.”
(“World’s Greatest” clip)
This is a much more personal release because it pays tribute to his late mother while revisiting childhood memories.
And then we have Father John Misty with “The X-panded Universe.”
(“The X-panded Universe” clip)
This is actually his third single of 2026. And yes, if this is starting to sound like a Marvel movie, the lyrics get into crossover events, alternate timelines, as well as heroes & villains.
(Record Scratch video)
And finally, one vinyl pick.
Mac Miller’s The Divine Feminine celebrates its 10th anniversary with a new three-LP edition.
But here’s the exciting part.
We’re getting THREE previously unreleased songs from the original recording sessions, including “Butterflies,” featuring Thundercat on bass.
(“Butterflies” clip)
That’s your 3 albums, 2 singles, and 1 vinyl for the week.
This has been 3, 2, 1 New Music Monday
Until next time.
