On December 31, 1999, the world was on edge about a possible technological shutdown. Due to a programming bug that only allowed the last two digits of the year to update, people theorized that a society that relied on technology would fall into complete disarray when the date failed to change at the turn of the millennium. Much to people's relief, the “Y2K Bug” caused minimal disruption. However, what if the widespread panic had been warranted? Kyle Mooney and Evan Winter imagine a possible doomsday scenario in their apocalyptic comedy, Y2K. In the film, outcasts Eli (Jaeden Martell) and Danny (Julian Dennison) are determined to end New Year's Eve with a kiss from popular high school basketball star Laura (Rachel Zegler). But when the clock strikes midnight, the festivities quickly turn to mayhem as technology revolts, transforming into monstrous, humanoid killing machines. As the chaos unfolds, the characters embark on a wild, action-packed adventure to survive—narrowly escaping death and avoiding becoming slaves to the machines. Along the way, they receive help from unlikely sages, including Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and video store clerk Garrett (played by Mooney). Other familiar faces include '90s icon Alicia Silverstone and music artist The Kid Laroi. We sat down with Mooney and Winter to chat about all things Y2K.

Nashville-based pop singer-songwriter Leah Mason is answering that question with her new single “Klepto.” A follow up to “YOUR BOYFRIEND SUCKS,” this edgy pop anthem calls out a friend who took a little more than “inspiration” from Mason. “She would subtly ask me about where my clothes were from, and the next week she'd show up in the same thing I had been wearing,” Mason says.
