There is a distinct difference between songs that are simply sad and those that delve into the depths of true gloom. While sadness captures a fleeting emotional moment, gloominess adds a pervasive sense of impending doom, a feeling that the world itself is unraveling. The songs on this list embody that bleak, apocalyptic edge, where sorrow is not just experienced but magnified by the weight of a collapsing universe. To showcase the universal reach of gloom, we’ve pulled from a wide array of musical styles, demonstrating that this feeling transcends genres and speaks to the shared human condition.

News Creature Commandos Creature Commandos’ New Trailer Leans Hard on Cartoon Violence Must be the season of the witch, right, James Gunn? By Molly Templeton | Published on October 22, 2024 Screenshot: DC Studios Comment 0 Share New Share Screenshot: DC Studios Even if this trailer didn’t make it clear that Creature Commandos comes from the mind of James Gunn, you’d know. You’d know because of the somehow predictable song choice, which feels apt but sort of too apt, and you’d know because of the reveling in (literal, here) cartoon violence. And then there’s the Weasel, who feels like the next logical step from Rocket Raccoon. You get the gist: It’s an extremely James Gunn situation. Human shish kabob? Unlikely team-up? Biting statements about the government’s willingness to use people to further its goals? Check, check, check. Creature Commandos, as the logline says, “tracks a secret team of incarcerated monsters recruited for missions deemed too dangerous for humans. When all else fails… they’re your last, worst option.” It seems like Indira Varma’s The Bride might be the team leader here, which is cool, though the way her walk is animated makes me give this show some serious side-eye. She’s joined by Doctor Phosphorus (Alan Tudyk), The Weasel (Sean Gunn), Nina Mazursky (Zoe Chao), and G.I. Robot (Sean Gunn again). The Witcher’s Anya Chalotra voices antagonist Circe; Maria Bakalova (Bodies Bodies Bodies) is Princess Ilana; David Harbour (Stranger Things) is Frankenstein; Frank Grillo is Rick Flag Sr.; and, of course, Viola Davis returns as Amanda Waller, and Steve Agee as Economos. Creature Commandos is DC Studios’ first entry in “Gods and Monsters,” the name for the new chapter in the DCU. It all starts December 5th on Max.[end-mark] The post <i>Creature Commandos</i>’ New Trailer Leans Hard on Cartoon Violence appeared first on Reactor.

News Interior Chinatown Hulu’s Interior Chinatown Adaptation Looks Fantastic Author Charles Yu created the adaptation of his novel By Molly Templeton | Published on October 22, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share If I have one complaint about the trailer for Hulu’s Interior Chinatown—the series adaptation created by author Charles Yu—it’s that I worry it is keeping its cards a little too close to the chest. It’s a tough line to walk, hinting at the story’s inventive angles without giving everything away. But what we do see here is perfect. Interior Chinatown is the story of Willis Wu, and the summary gives a little more context to the delightfully unsettling aspects of the trailer: Based on Charles Yu’s award-winning book of the same name, the show follows the story of Willis Wu, a background character trapped in a police procedural called Black & White. Relegated to the background, Willis goes through the motions of his on-screen job, waiting tables, dreaming about a world beyond Chinatown and aspiring to be the lead of his own story. When Willis inadvertently becomes a witness to a crime, he begins to unravel a criminal web in Chinatown, while discovering his own family’s buried history and what it feels like to be in the spotlight. The trailer begins by sticking with the seemingly typical—Willis (Jimmy O. Yang) meeting detective Lana Lee (Chloe Bennett) and being drawn into a murder investigation that might involve his brother. But there’s so much more going on—levels hinted at by the more surreal moments that creep into the trailer’s two minutes. This past summer, Yu spoke a bit about how the show isn’t the book, and there may be some surprises; at a press event, he discussed thinking of the show as inspired by the book, and the effort to “stay true to what made you want to tell this story […] and to make a new story that ultimately is surprising for people, whether or not they read the book.” Interior Chinatown also stars Ronny Chieng, Lisa Gilroy, Sullivan Jones, Archie Kao, and Diana Lin. Despite the fact that it clearly deserves the prestige-TV weekly release schedule—let us have time to discuss and appreciate! Let the story breathe!—it arrives on Hulu in an all-episode dump on November 19th. The pilot episode is directed by Taika Waititi.[end-mark] The post Hulu’s <i>Interior Chinatown</i> Adaptation Looks Fantastic appeared first on Reactor.
