The trailer delivers a snapshot of images and visuals throughout Em's career while he's being peppered with popular questions from fans about his personal life, family, music and fame. To close out the clip, he sits down for what appears to be an interview. 'What's your first question?' he asks.
STANS is set to examine Eminem's iconic career through the eyes of his most rabid fans over his nearly three decades in the spotlight. Slim Shady's prominent collaborators contributed to the doc along with the fans, whom he provided the soundtrack to their lives.
The documentary was based on the 2000 hit of the same name, 'Stan,' which arrived in May that year as the third single from The Marshall Mathers LP. Produced by 45 King, the storytelling track about an obsessive fan peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has more than 1 billion streams on Spotify.
'Stan' has even become common vernacular in the music world for crazed fans, as the word was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2019.
Eminem made his participation official when he took to social media in 2024 to call for his most diehard fans to get involved.
In addition to Em's Shady Films, DIGA Studios, Fuqua Films and MTV Entertainment Studios are all on board as producers of the poignant documentary.

King Ultramega Supergroup Pays Tribute to Chris Cornell With ‘Rusty Cage' Cover
A raft of talented musicians come together to form the new King Ultramega supergroup and pay tribute to late Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell in the process. The nascent group made their debut on Friday (July 18), sharing a rendition of Soundgarden's 'Rusty Cage' – the opening track to 1991's Grammy-nominated Badmotorfinger. More from Billboard Mariah Carey 'MC16' Album Details Coming Tomorrow Fans Choose BTS' 'Permission to Dance On Stage' Live Album as This Week's Favorite New Music 'JACKBOYS 2' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart Leading the charge in King Ultramega is vocalist William DuVall of Alice in Chains, who is joined by Mastodon's Bill Kelliher on guitars, Anthrax and Pantera's Charlie Benante on drums, while Metal Allegiance's Mark Menghi serves as bassist and mastermind for the project. 'I just leaned into my love for the song and my immense respect for Chris,' DuVall of the cover. 'Since the instrumental track Bill, Charlie, and Mark sent hewed so closely to the original, I thought it best for me to stay in that ballpark as well.' According to Menghi, the project started back during the COVID-19 pandemic when he recorded a rendition of the track with friends. After being initially apprehensive of the project given the lofty standards set by Cornell, Menghi's position changed once Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil became involved and re-recorded one of his own tracks for the project. 'There is not a singular moment in time that led to this project,' explained Menghi. 'It was a trail of events that led to the formation of King Ultramega and the evolving creation to pay tribute to the voice of a generation.' Future releases in the series will feature songs from across Cornell's career, with selections taken from his work with Soundgarden, Audioslave, and his own solo career. Each track will also be raising funds and awareness for MusiCares, with the likes of Joe Satriani, Alissa White-Gluz and Kenny Aronoff all set to appear in the future. 'My reason for participating was simply taking on an interesting challenge when so much of the world was shut down,' added DuVall. 'I had no thoughts or ambitions for this beyond our posting it on social media five years ago. But if this release can help further the good work done by MusiCares, then I'm all for it.' 'I'm super honored to record alongside all the amazing musicians appearing on the King Ultramega project,' Thayil added in a statement. 'I'm equally proud that it celebrates Soundgarden in this tribute to the songwriting of Chris. Ultra-admirably, everyone's participation is supporting the work of the MusiCares Foundation.' Soundgarden officially disbanded in 2017 following Cornell's passing at the age of 52. In recent years, a handful of reunion performances have taken place, including a December benefit gig under the moniker Nudedragons with vocalist Shaina Shepherd in December. Members of Soundgarden had also previously been announced as performers for the recent Back To The Beginning farewell concert for Ozzy Osbourne at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on July 5, though ultimately did not attend. 'We are very grateful to Tony, Ozzy, Geezer and Bill, as well as Sharon Osbourne and music director, Tom Morello for the honor and invitation to Soundgarden to perform at the Back to the Beginning festival!' a statement on Soundgarden's official Instagram account read. 'We are super bummed and regret that we were unable to coordinate the schedules of our individual and collective projects to attend and contribute to the festival.'

TV Review: NAUTILUS Episode 5, ‘Anguille Fumée'
Season 1 Episode 5 of Nautilus begins with the ship in free-fall as every effort to dislodge the giant electric eel they picked up in the previous episode fails. Worse still, soon after, the crew starts acting strange. An unlikely hero must rise if the crew is going to make it out of the depths of the ocean. I found Episode 4 of Nautilus underwhelming, but the team behind this AMC show comes back swinging with its fifth entry. In 'Anguille Fumée,' the show brings out its most tense episode yet in a locked-room horror mystery. This was like watching some of our favorite Star Trek horror episodes, but set in the deep in a submarine. Nautilus, Season 1 Episode 5, 'Anguille Fumée' With so much of the episode taking place in the submarine itself, I felt we got to see more of the Nautilus crew in this episode. We still don't know any of their backstory, but more screen time with the supporting crew is always enjoyable. Their quirky personalities cut through all the tension. RELATED: Read our Nautilus reviews Elsewhere with the East India Mercantile Company, the stakes rise as captured Nautilus crewmember Jagadish Ghosh (Chum Ehelepola) is in dire straits while being confronted by Captain Billy Millais (Luke Arnold). The creative team has been dropping hints throughout the show that there's more to Millais than he can let on. And Arnold has been quietly capturing this intrigue in his performance. I am looking forward to seeing where they take his character. RELATED: Everything We Know So Far About The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping 'Anguille Fumée' is spectacularly tense. The ship is in danger; the crew is at their wits' end, and danger is at every step. They're in uncharted waters—literally and figuratively—and trust isn't high. Anything and everything can set off a fuse, and this Nautilus episode plays with that concept while leaning into classic horror imagery and story beats. The Accent Issue An issue that hasn't cropped up before is the accents. I can't assess the other accents on Nautilus , but several characters speak Hindi, and one character speaks Bengali in this episode—the actors speaking Hindi are very obviously not native to India, because it's heavily-accented. RELATED: The Final Battle Begins in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle Official Trailer Nemo actor Shazad Latif is a British actor with Pakistani heritage. Shabana Azeez, who plays Nemo's wife Renouka, and Samara Wheeler, who plays their child Mya, are both Australian. They're playing Indian characters in an era where hardly anyone traveled, they shouldn't have anachronistic accents when speaking their mother tongues. And the gentleman speaking Bengali—not an Indian character or actor—kudos for trying, but I couldn't understand a single word he said. I had to read the subtitles. RELATED: Summer Game Fest 2025: A New Era of Horror Begins With Resident Evil Requiem But the accent issue is a negligible problem on Nautilus . The actors are doing their best, possibly in languages they aren't familiar with. I can't fault them. I'm someone who grew up in India, and I speak regional languages with an accent because English is my first language. And I watch way too much TV, which has affected the way I speak. Nemo and Humility We get a little more of Humility Lucas' (Georgia Flood) backstory. It's nothing we haven't seen and read in a ton of stories about women in the past who tried to break the mold. But for young viewers, they'll find Humility's chaffing and belligerence against a sexist world a mirror to their own fight against the patriarchy. RELATED: Everything Coming to Netflix in July 2025 But an ongoing issue is that the creators of Nautilus are so intent on positioning Humility as the 'underestimated woman with brains' that they keep forgetting Nemo is the brains behind the ship's design. He would, therefore, know something about engineering and science. Nemo spends far too much time stultified by the science, while Humility is always saving the moment with her scientific knowledge. The story and their connection would be far stronger if they worked together. They can disagree on their methods—which briefly happens in this episode—but they're always at odds, or underestimating each other. Five episodes into Nautilus , their dynamic seems to be standing in place. RELATED: Read our Interview with the Vampire recaps If Nemo and Humility spend too much time tearing each other down, the eventual bond that the writers have undoubtedly written for them won't be believable. But I have faith that the show will right that issue, if by doing nothing else but leaning into the chemistry that Latif and Flood have easily built over five episodes. RELATED: Movie Review: M3GAN 2.0 This is one of the best episodes of Nautilus yet, but, perhaps because it's so engrossing and enjoyable, the show's issues were amplified.

Scooter Braun praises Justin Bieber's new album after pop star pays him back millions: ‘He poured his soul'
Scooter Braun heaped praise on Justin Bieber's new 'Swag' album after he reached a multimillion-dollar financial agreement with the pop star — calling it 'the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date.' 'It's beautiful, raw, and truly him. And that matters,' Bieber's former manager gushed via Instagram Stories Saturday. Noting that he had the 'privilege of witnessing' the singer's 'growth' for nearly two decades, Braun then wrote that 'there comes a time when an artist fully steps into their own — and that's what he's done here.' 'He poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every single run,' Bieber's former mentor continued. The record exec added, 'I've played no role in this one, but as someone who's always believed in him, I'm incredibly proud and impressed and genuinely enjoying the music.' Braun singled out 'Daisies' as his favorite track on the album — which was released Friday — and urged his followers to 'stream Swag and support an authentic voice.' The effusive praise comes after Bieber and Braun settled a weighty financial dispute earlier this week. Bieber previously accepted a $40 million advance from tour-backing company AEG. However, after he cancelled on his 2022 'Justice' tour at the last minute, the company requested the pop star pay back the money that had already been loaned to him. Braun reportedly took care of the debt through his Hybe company, and the singer reportedly agreed to pay him back. People reported that prior to the agreement this week, Bieber only made one payment to Braun and still owed him $26 million. 'He stepped in to help him,' the source told us at the time. In addition to the $26 million debt, Bieber also owed Braun another $5.5 million in unpaid commissions from when they worked together, sources told TMZ Thursday. With his financial affairs in order, Bieber immediately dropped his seventh studio album, 'Swag,' via Def Jam Recordings on Friday. Some of the tracks on the long-awaited album seemingly confirm trouble in his marriage to Hailey Bieber, with whom he shares infant son Jack Blues. In Braun's favorite 'Daisies,' the pop phenomenon reflects on 'throwin' petals like, 'Do you love me or not?'' 'Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop / You said 'Forever,' babe, did you mean it or not? / And if it ain't right, babe, you know I respect it / But if you need time, just take your time,' Justin sings. 'Honey, I get it, I get it, I get it.' Solve the daily Crossword
