President Joe Biden has taken a number of steps to curb domestic fossil fuel production since taking office but has still turned to foreign dictators for oil as prices have ticked up. The Biden administration has aggressively pushed its climate agenda, which includes a transition from fossil fuels to green energy, over its first 20 months in office. For example, it has taken aim at oil and natural gas pipelines, restrained leasing on federal lands and waters, moved forward with stringent climate disclosure rules for the private sector and introduced burdensome environmental regulations.

Dennis Harvey Film Critic Class divisions that assume macrocosmic significance in Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness” remain microcosmically scaled in “Pretty Problems,” another cleverly discomfiting, festival-blessed comedy hitting theaters on Oct. 13. Kestrin Pantera’s third directorial feature, which won the Audience Award at SXSW, also places a less-advantaged young couple in an enclave of the very rich. Here, however, the upscale slumming is not free, but rather at their expense — a cruel-gamesmanship setup that (as our hero duly notes) suggests the usual horror-movie agenda of “They’re gonna kill us.” That teased direction is not where the film eventually goes, and indeed the script (hatched by several lead performers here) manages to keep upending expectations to the end. The result is a fresh mix of social satire and relationship dissection with a saving dollop of heart. IFC is opening it on about 30 U.S. theater screens, simultaneous with on-demand platforms.

When a musician is as massively popular as Beyoncé, there’s bound to be some blowback whenever they release something.Controversy is simply a part of life for the biggest and most successful in the music industry, and Queen Bey may very well be the biggest.The singer, songwriter, and producer is currently being chastised by a well-known musical duo, who are adding to a growing chorus of artists who weren’t happy to find out they were involved with her new set.Right Said Fred has spoken out against Beyoncé in a new interview with British tabloid The Sun after they were — apparently involuntarily — included in her new album Renaissance.The duo is upset that the Grammy winner interpolated their 1991 global smash “I’m Too Sexy” on her song “Alien Superstar,” which was quickly singled out as a fan favorite on the superstar’s latest effort.The issue stems from the fact that, according to Right Said Fred, neither Beyoncé nor anyone from her team reached out to the pair for permission to use any part of their song on her album.In the past, other artists who have wanted the same pleasure have done so, but not Bey. “She is such an arrogant person,” the brotherly duo told the publication.

Zack Sharf The trailer for Universal Pictures and Nintendo’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” has debuted, bringing with it a first listen of Chris Pratt’s Mario voice. The actor told Variety earlier this year that he “worked really closely with the directors” to craft the perfect Mario voice, adding, “[We tried] out a few things and landed on something that I’m really proud of.” So what does Pratt’s Mario voice sound like? He only gets two brief lines of dialogue in the trailer (“What is this place?” and “Mushroom Kingdom, here we come!”), but it was enough to send social media into a craze with reactions. Many users found Pratt’s Mario voice too similar to Pratt’s own speaking voice, which led to confusion as the actor previously touted the voice as “unlike anything” fans had heard before.

But as she pored over her trove of images, she realized that the 1980s were actually pretty rad.“I really saw what a creative time it was,” the Detroit native said.
