Netflix's new Travis Scott documentary made me never want to attend a concert again
Live music is one of my greatest passions in life. Even as I write this article, I'm furiously refreshing my phone trying to score tickets for an upcoming concert, and my weekend plans? Seeing Sam Fender's huge homecoming show at my favorite soccer team's stadium. Yet after streaming Netflix's new documentary that chronicles the tragic events that unfolded at 2021's Astroworld festival during rapper Travis Scott's headline set, I suddenly feel a little hesitant to wade deep into a crowd of thousands of people again. It's a deeply chilling watch. The doc is called 'Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy,' and it explores the crowd crush that occurred during the Houston-based event attended by over 100,000 people. It resulted in the tragic deaths of 10 people, with 25 more hospitalized and injury numbers in the hundreds. It's certainly not the most entertaining watch, even if the presentation is as slick as you'd expect from a Netflix original, but it's a feature-length doc that has impacted me, and if you're also a dedicated gig-goer, then I think you need to stream this right now. Like many documentaries of this ilk, 'Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy' begins with the 'happy period' as we see numerous Travis Scott fans give talking-head interviews expressing their excitement and anticipation for the upcoming concert at NRG Park in Houston, Texas. Anybody who knows what went down at Astroworld in 2021 will know what's coming next: a deadly crowd crush would lead to multiple fatalities, and I appreciate that the documentary filmmakers (who also made Netflix's excellent "Trainwreck: Woodstock '99") don't attempt to overdramatise the events. The tone is respectful throughout. I can't claim that 'Trainwreck' offers much in the way of entertainment, but it spotlights a tragedy that deserves to be remembered, and that the live music industry must learn from. The transition from people having fun at a gig to fighting for their lives is shockingly sudden, which likely mirrors the experience of attendees. The audio recordings of desperate 911 calls during the event are particularly stomach-turning and will deeply unnerve you. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. So while I can't claim that 'Trainwreck' offers much in the way of entertainment, it does spotlight a tragedy that deserves to be remembered, and that the live music industry must learn from. Because what happened at Astroworld can never be allowed to repeat itself. If you're a live music fan or just want to understand how the events of Astroworld unfolded, then I strongly recommend 'Trainwreck.' It's also a pretty trim watch, at around 80 minutes long, which is another strength; the doc presents the situation without unneeded bloat. In recent years, whenever I've attended a live music event (which, as noted, is extremely often), I typically find myself reflecting on Astroworld at some point, and this documentary gave me further insight into a tragedy that really did hit home with me in several ways. 'Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy' is a well-produced and very harrowing documentary, showcasing how what should have been a memorable evening for all in attendance descended into a situation where 10 people never got to return home. It's also the next chapter in what Netflix is calling the "Trainwreck anthology." The first part was the Woodstock '99 limited series, released in 2022, and there are six more documentaries on the way that will "examine some of the most disastrous events ever to blow up in mainstream media." If you're looking for something to raise your spirits after watching 'Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy,' be sure to check out our guide to everything new on Netflix in June 2025, which includes some more light-hearted TV shows and movies alongside more docs.

Chinese Labubu doll sparks global shopping frenzy fueling billions of dollars
They're scary, but cute – and taking the internet by storm as customers race to get their hands on Labubus. Distributed exclusively by Chinese-based retailer Pop Mart, it's become near impossible to buy one of the plush pendant toy collectibles as they sell out online almost nightly, and people wait in hours-long lines to purchase them in-person. Advertisement But what is a Labubu? And why do people care so much about it? Labubu was founded by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, who became inspired by Nordic supernatural folklore and children's imaginative abilities to create Labubu and the larger 'Monsters' figurine series. Despite the first Labubu hitting the market in 2015, demand still outpaces supply in 2025. They quickly gained popularity after being sported on the designer bags of celebrities like Rihanna, Dua Lipa, BLACKPINK's Lisa, David Beckham, Emma Roberts, Hillary Duff, Kim Kardashian and countless others. Advertisement Labubus cost anywhere between $21.99 and $39.99, and its most popular form comes as a fluffy, plush pendant with an attachable clip. They're sold in 'blind boxes,' which means customers won't know what variety of Labubu they got until it's opened. However, Labubu products are regularly out of stock in Pop Mart's online store and app. In-person restockings happen at their stores once a week at 10 a.m. every Friday, and social media users have posted long lines that tend to be hundreds of people deep. 3 Shoppers have been waiting in hours-long lines to purchase a Labubu. AFP via Getty Images Advertisement 3 Labubu gained popularity when celebrities featured the toy on their designer bags. AP In the United Kingdom, Pop Mart announced it would stop selling Labubu products in their stores for safety reasons following reported brawls that had broken out among customers. To make the supply-demand imbalance worse, so-called reseller 'bots' allegedly sweep Pop Mart's website and app for new drops, and buy Labubus in mass quantities. On resale platforms like StockX, rare editions have asking prices of up to $450. Advertisement Labubu has even sparked counterfeit admiration, with some customers opting for a knock-off version dubbed 'Lafufu,' often with a much cheaper price tag and manufacturing differences. 3 Labubu is distributed exclusively by Chinese-based retailer Pop Mart. AFP via Getty Images Pop Mart did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment, or clarification on whether US-China trade tensions could bump up Labubu's regular retail prices even higher. Some social media users have started sharing what they call 'Labubu-nomics,' or buying methods that seem to be effective in beating out bots. There's a supposed URL-editing trick, a rapid thumb-clicking method and regularly checking Pop Mart's third-party stores via Amazon and TikTok shop livestreams. Last month, Pop Mart CEO and Chairman Wang Ning became $1.6 billion richer in a single day due to American buyers lining up for their own Labubu, Forbes reported.

Mass. issued a record $23 million tax credit to ‘Dexter' TV series. Insiders say it masks industry's downtown in state.
The state late last month quietly That total stands as the highest amount in film tax credits the state's issued in a single year since the COVID-19 pandemic and the most ever outside of 2019, when projects collected nearly Advertisement But there's often a lag, both when productions apply for the subsidies and when the state updates its data. There are often pending applications when the state releases its annual tax credit transparency report, meaning the totals for 2023 total could climb even higher. The state, for example, also reported last month that it issued $46.8 million in credits in 2022 — millions of dollars more than it Advertisement The film and television projects themselves also often reap their tax credits years after they've decamped from Massachusetts. ' The $23 million credit it received topped the previous record of $16.1 million the state issued for a scripted series, which went to the second season of ' The largest film tax incentive the state issued in 2023 went to the widely panned superhero movie ' Those subsidies follow the $46.4 million tax credit the state issued in 2021 to the film ' Despite those substantial handouts, the industry struggled mightily in 2023 and last year. The Advertisement New England Studios in Devens was 'essentially dead' both those years, in part due to the strikes and contract negotiations between multiple unions, said Gary Crossen, the studio's general manager. That's since shifted, to a degree. A new television series is currently in production at New England Studios, though Crossen, citing a confidentiality agreement, declined to say what it is. 'For New England Studios, it has come back to life,' he said. That's not the case for everyone. Ryan Cook, a Massachusetts-based location manager who worked on the Dexter series, is now part of the production of a new season, dubbed ' Cook said he once led a team of 25 people, eight of whom have since left the industry, and while more productions are on the horizon in Massachusetts, the state is losing projects to overseas and other states, where the incentives are more lucrative, he said. 'The landscape is different,' said Cook, who was among those who successfully advocated for lawmakers in 2021 to make the state's film tax credit program permanent, arguing it would inject stability into the industry in the state. 'That was the drum we were beating for 10 years. We got that win, and then we got hit with a left hook that we didn't see coming' in the form of COVID-19 and the dual strikes. Launched in 2006, the state's film tax program includes a 25 percent payroll credit for any project that spends more than $50,000 within Massachusetts. Under changes legislators Advertisement There's no annual cap on the credit, and it's transferable, allowing a production company to sell it to insurance companies, corporations, or even individuals. Cook argued Massachusetts should revisit the contours of its package, noting 'I bet the incentive [data for productions in] 2023 and 2024 is going to be atrocious,' he said of Massachusetts' tax credit.
