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.

Whenever the NFL schedule has an exciting Thursday night game, it's always a good sign for the rest of the week. We got one this week as the Detroit Lions (12-1) defeated the Green Bay Packers (9-4) on a last-second field goal to win 34-31. The story of this game was the Lions' ability to convert on fourth down, with four conversions to keep drives alive.

Eleven NFL games will be played in Week 14 on December 8. The Sunday night matchup between the Chargers and Chiefs should be the best game of the day. Don't forget that NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV gives fans access to every game. Below, check out the NFL Week 14 schedule, with times, channels, and streaming information.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this December 2024, stream this one

Two adults look at a child in Pete's Dragon.

It's not quite as dominant as Netflix, but Disney+ has emerged as one of the biggest streaming services in the world. As you peruse it, though, you might find that it mostly directs you toward the things you would expect to watch there (i.e. Star Wars, Marvel, and various animated movies).

If you're looking for something on Disney+ that's a little more off that beaten path, you should start with Pete's Dragon. While it's a live-action remake of a Disney animated classic, Pete's Dragon is not as soulless as many of those movies have been. Telling the story of a young boy who lives alone in the woods with a dragon, it's actually a pretty moving story. Here are three reasons you should check it out this December.

35 years ago, the meanest movie of the 1980s was released and became a big hit

Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas in bed together looking at each other in the poster for The War of the Roses.

The black comedy is a subgenre that is dangerously close to extinction. Once the kick in the pants the genre needed to stay fresh and in fashion, the black comedy is now nearly non-existent on the big screen, at least with the vicious and unforgiving bite it came in during the late '80s and mid-'90s. Comedy as a whole is going through a tough time at the box office, but this ruthless subgenre is particularly struggling -- 2020's I Care a Lot and perennial TV mainstay It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia notwithstanding.

Thirty-five years ago, however, the black comedy reached its peak with Danny DeVito's The War of the Roses, one of the darkest and most savage entries into the subgenre's annals. Starring '80s icons Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner, plus DeVito himself, the film marked the trio's last hurrah in a decade that saw them reach the height of their respective careers. In retrospect, it's astounding just how fresh and topical this wicked satire feels in 2024, capturing much of today's sensibilities in truly subversive fashion. On its 35th anniversary, it's the perfect time to revisit this timeless yet somewhat underrated effort, quite possibly the nastiest and most ruthless comedy of the 1980s.
