The Register: Oasis, ACOTAR, DWTS and One Bad Dinner Party
What's on our radar this week.
This week in culture, Turner Classic Movies (TCM) is turning Fridays into a film school, with a new series called Films on Film. The channel pairs classic movies with documentaries, exploring subjects like Charles Grodin, Latino representation, and Charlie Chaplin's anti-fascist message in The Great Dictator. TCM's programming supervisor, Ben Mankiewicz, hopes these pairings will offer viewers a deeper appreciation for the art and history of cinema.
Meanwhile, Oasis, the band that defined music in the new millennium, is finally back together for a 2025 reunion tour, chronicled in the documentary Oasis: Don't Look Back in Anger. The film, directed by Steven Knight, Dylan Southern, and Will Lovelace, reunites the Gallagher brothers for their first joint interview since their split and marks a significant moment for fans and music lovers alike.
Sarah J. Maas, author of the best-selling ACOTAR series, is returning to Prythian with two new books, A Court of Splintered Harmony and A Court of Forgotten Melody. The Valkyrie Cycle, as Maas describes it, will be read as one cohesive story, despite some fan disappointment with the new book covers, which feature multicolored designs.
Dancing with the Stars is back for its 35th season, with a focus on redemption stories for two former contestants, Ciara Miller from Summer House and Maura Higgins from Love Island UK and The Traitors. Other contestants include Jimmy Kimmel's assistant Guillermo Rodriguez, Savannah Bananas star Jackson Olson, and former champion Sharna Burgess, who returns to the ballroom after a five-year hiatus.
