A100SAVAGE
ETERNAL SUNSHINE BY ARIANA GRANDE REVIEW‼️

A100SAVAGE

“Eternal Sunshine,” Ariana Grande's seventh studio album, released on March 8, 2024, via Republic Records, marks a triumphant return for the pop icon after a three-year hiatus following 2020's “Positions.” This 13-track, 35-minute project, titled after the 2004 film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” is a loosely conceptual exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery, blending vulnerability with theatrical flair. Crafted with collaborators like Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Oscar Görres, the album fuses pop and R&B with dance, synth-pop, and house influences, characterized by mid-tempo beats, subtle guitar riffs, and lush string arrangements. Grande has called it her most personal work, inspired by her divorce from Dalton Gomez and her romance with “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater, yet it sidesteps tabloid fodder for a broader emotional narrative.The album opens with “Intro (End of the World),” a delicate query about love's endurance, setting a reflective tone. Lead single “Yes, And?”—a #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit—channels Madonna's “Vogue” with defiant house beats, addressing public scrutiny with a cheeky shrug. “We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” another chart-topper, pairs a Robyn-esque dance-pop pulse with Grande's aching vocals, its video nodding to the film's memory-erasing premise. “The Boy Is Mine,” reimagining Brandy and Monica's classic, became a TikTok sensation, later earning a remix with the duo. Tracks like “Don't Wanna Break Up Again” and “True Story” weave R&B melancholy with sly humor, while “Supernatural” and “Imperfect for You” showcase her vocal restraint and harmonic finesse. The interlude “Saturn Returns,” sampling astrologer Diana Garland, ties the album to Grande's late-20s reckoning, fading into the title track's wistful acceptance of past pain.Critics praised “Eternal Sunshine” for its emotional depth and sonic cohesion, with Pitchfork noting its “restrained yet generous” spirit and Rolling Stone calling it a “victory lap with scars.” It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, her sixth chart-topper, and snagged three Grammy nods, including Best Pop Vocal Album. Expanded editions followed: a “Slightly Deluxe” version on March 10, 2024, added remixes, while “Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead,” released March 28, 2025, with a short film, introduced six new tracks like “Twilight Zone,” deepening the breakup saga. Filmed during the 2023 SAG strike, the album reflects Grande's “Wicked” downtime, balancing her Glinda role with raw artistry. Closing with “Ordinary Things,” featuring her grandmother Nonna's sage advice, it's a tender cap to a journey of heartbreak and hope.

So it's only natural that it would come with an incredible bonus banter episode attached to it. Enjoy the bits that weren't quite good enough for the regular episode, but still deserve some love.First Sonny and Tom discuss the recent success of Arnold's son Patrick Schwarzenegger, who has been making waves with his performance in White Lotus and has the most milquetoast Twitter account of all time. Then they talk about Selena Gomez's fiancé Benny Blanco and the epidemic of subpar men landing successful celebrities. That includes Ariana Grande's partner Ethan Slater, Lana del Ray's partner Louisiana Swamp Man, and hopefully will one day include Billie Eilish's partner Sonny. Then the boys briefly discuss Amazon's recent acquisition of the James Bond franchise, which scares us all. They round it out with a political topic, which we told you was on the way! The boys analyze the post-presidency lives of U.S. presidents, with the recent news that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris signed with CAA.

Wicked movie director Jon M. Chu joins The Art of Kindness podcast with Robert Peterpaul to discuss being a kind leader on set, acts of kindness from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, his spellbinding memoir Viewfinder and more. Rejoicify - this is a thought-provoking chat filled with STAR-studded surprise guests! Jon M. Chu is known for his visually stunning blockbuster films, as well as his kinetic work across various genres from groundbreaking series to commercials and films. Additionally, his unique storytelling ability has earned him the honor of inclusion on the Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 list as well as Variety's New Hollywood Leaders. Most recently, Chu directed Universal Pictures' critically acclaimed WICKED, starring Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Part 1 of the feature-film adaptation of the record-breaking musical phenomenon released in theaters on November 22 and quickly became a box-office hit, becoming the highest-grossing Broadway adaption in domestic box office history in its second week earning over $350 million globally. His memoir, Viewfinder, is his journey from growing up in the Silicon Valley to transitioning to Hollywood and helming major studio projects, released Summer 2024. The book is an uplifting tale of belonging, creativity and learning to see who you truly are. His recent projects include the critically acclaimed adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical IN THE HEIGHTS for Warner Bros. Studios as well as the worldwide phenomenon CRAZY RICH ASIANS, which was nominated for numerous awards, including a SAG Award, a Golden Globe and PGA Award. It is one of the top 10 highest grossing romantic comedies of all time and the highest in a decade. It was also the first contemporary studio picture in more than 25 years to feature an all-Asian cast and opened a new chapter in Asian-American representation in Hollywood. Chu is in post-production on WICKED: PART TWO, which is set to release on November 21, 2025, and is attached to develop to direct the highly anticipated biopic for Britney Spears based on her memoir, The Woman in Me, with Universal. He is also in development on Dr. Seuss' OH, THE PLACES YOU'LL GO! with Warner Bros and JJ Abrams' Bad Robot, which will be his first animated film. His previous films include GI. JOE: RETALIATION, NOW YOU SEE ME 2, JUSTIN BIEBER'S NEVER SAY NEVER and many more representing over 1.3 billion dollars in the worldwide box office.

If you're unfamiliar with the plot of Broadway stunner, Wicked, fear not, director Jon M. Chu's (Crazy Rich Asians) big screen adaptation is a splashy note-for-note faithful interpretation of the acclaimed musical. If your gateway is Gregory Macguire's book by the same name, expect more committment to the musical's book than his source material. Wicked, a prequel to the Wizard of Oz, tells the story of the classic's central villian Elphaba, The Wicked Witch of the West and it's symbol of goodness, Glinda the Good Witch of the South. It's story opens with a Glinda arriving in Munchkinland in a glimmering bubble. To confirms for the citzenry that the witch is dead. It's a majestic start complete with a spectacular ensemble number.  Under Chu's stewardship OZ comes to sparkling life. There are recognizable set pieces as well as a more expansive look at the land of OZ.  The film adaptation retains the "PG" light touch by inferring much more than showing the darkness decending upon the land. Cynthia Erivio and Arian Grande-Butera are hands down a triumph as the film's Elphaba and Glinda. Both their vocals and dramatic interpretation of the leads distinguish their performances from any that've come before. In this meticulously built world the duo lead their talent-packed ensemble to create one of the best film-adaptation of a stage production ever. Wicked offers plenty for those longing for bright and colorful escapism. You'll laugh, gasp, and be amazed at each cinematic success (enough to forgive its varied visual effects shortfalls).  The narrative leans heavily on its cast for its emotional peaks and valleys and they more ably respond. Christopher Scott's propulsive choreography delivers again and again. Erivo's blend of stoicism and defensive boldness aid a growing necessary edge. While Grande's pitch perfect switches between self-absorbsion, ambitious, perky benevolence adds the bounce and flair. Each balancing out the other in a delightful chemistry. But Holzman and Fox' decision to add only hints of the novel's deeper themes expose a script that fails to fully serve the narrative underpining all the visual pizzazz. Every shallow plot point and thin (secondary) character development between musical numbers turns into glaring oversight in the spotlight of Wicked's exhaustive runtime. So. if you were hoping that the extended (2 hours 40 minute) runtime - and cutting the story into two films - meant more (extremely important) parts of Macguire's Wicked would find its way into the screenplay, well then you'll likely come away disappointed. Perhaps the second half of this story coming November of 2025 will fill in those gaps. But despite this missed opportunity hindering Wicked from truly defiying gravity, its technical prowess behind and in front of the camera are worth a watch. Chu's sprawling production brings this origin story to life such verve and vibrancy your inner song-and-dance loving kid will not leave dissatisfied. Listen as Ro and Phenom discuss Wicked and somehow manage to keep it spoiler-free Wicked opens in theaters Friday, November 22. ♦♦ Director: Jon M. Chu Writers: Winnie Holzman, Dana Fox Starring: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum Runtime: 2 Hour 40 Minutes Synopsis: Misunderstood because of her green skin, a young woman named Elphaba forges an unlikely but profound friendship with Glinda, a student with an unflinching desire for popularity.
