These new tracks from The Lonely Island will get stuck in your head like glue

We’ve seen teasers, trailers, and posters for Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping, the upcoming mockumentary starring The Lonely Island, but when it comes to these comedic crooners, it’s really all about the music.

With that in mind, ScreenCrush reports that the group has released two new songs from the companion album to the upcoming film: I’m so Humble (featuring Adam Levine) and Mona Lisa. Those who’ve seen the trailer will recognize the former — and the better of the two — but the full version showcases this clever/catchy track in all its glory.

Titular pop star Connor4Real (Andy Samberg) humblebrags his way through the tune, rendering its title ironic with lines like “I’m so ordinary that it’s really quite extraordinary” and “My apple crumble is by far the most crumblest / But I act like it tastes bad out of humbleness.”

Just as a PSA, if you don’t want to have the song stuck in your head for the next week or so, you might want to steer clear.

As for Mona Lisa, the song details a trip to see the original Mona Lisa in Paris that proves disappointing. “I’m an American man, this is my native land / Where no one lies about paintings /But that’s not the case in France / Where the naked ladies dance and they look like Dennis Franz.”

As others have pointed out, aside from the absurd lyrics, these tracks have all the production value of bona fide chart toppers, a reality that makes them that much funnier.

Both songs are available on Spotify and iTunes, among other platforms. The film version of Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is set to hit theaters June 3, 2016, and stars Imogen Poots, Will Arnett, and Bill Hader, in addition to Samberg and the Lonely Island crew.

The cast of Fallout season 2.

Just over a year ago, Fallout season 1 premiered on Amazon Prime Video and it quickly established itself as a hit series. Typically, a big-budget genre show like Fallout takes two years or longer to produce another season in the streaming age. But Amazon has announced that Fallout season 2 will premiere later this year, and the series has already been renewed for season 3.

Via Deadline, Amazon made the announcement during its Prime Video upfront presentation this week. The premiere window for Fallout season 2 is December 2025, roughly 20 months after the first season dropped on Prime Video.

Exclusive: Check out the early-stage CGI used in Captain America: Brave New World
Get an exclusive look at early-stage visual effects for Captain America: Brave New World
Anthony Mackie in Brave New World

The visual effects company Digital Domain has shared an exclusive clip with Digital Trends showcasing the work that went into making one of the most pivotal scenes in Captain America: Brave New World. At over eight minutes long, the scene shows Captain America (Anthony Mackie) and the Falcon (Danny Ramirez) intercepting a dogfight over the Pacific Ocean between US and Japanese forces that could lead to a full-blown war.

But what really makes the scene unique is that it’s almost entirely CGI. “There was a lot of footage where they captured Anthony Mackie on all these wires. But by the time it was over, it was all CG,” previsualization supervisor Cameron Ward told Digital Trends.
In the previsualization (previs) clip, we get a good glimpse at the early-stage CGI they used to build the scene completely from scratch, including the massive open-ocean setting. Ward said the biggest challenge in the scene wasn’t creating such a large space. It was the speed at which all the characters and objects were traveling.
“The biggest challenge with this scene was the speed at which everything was moving,” Ward said. “We had 600-mile-per-hour missiles flying through the air above an open ocean that we had to build from scratch. You have to set up your camera in a way that feels like Cap just flew by at 600 miles an hour chasing after them. So we had to ask ourselves, how do we visualize that?”
