The film has a 95% critic rating and a 90% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Key Background
K-Pop is having a moment worldwide. The immensely popular K-pop boy band BTS recently reunited and announced new music and a world tour. Girl group BLACKPINK is back to performing together after members like Rosé and Lisa had popular global solo breakouts. On top of that, global girl group KATSEYE has been stirring up social media with songs like 'Gnarly' on the new EP 'Beautiful Chaos.' What To Watch For
'Golden' is the 'KPop Demon Hunters' song Netflix will nominate for Academy Award consideration, according to Billboard. The song already has more than 58 million streams on Spotify alone. A nomination in the best original song category would be the first for a song from an animated movie since 'Dos Oruguitas' from 'Encanto' four years ago. The Oscars aren't until March 2026—but a 'Best Original Song' win for 'KPop Demon Hunters' would be a first for K-pop.

Fox Sees Q4 Profit Rise on Fox News, Tubi Results
Fox Corp. said high ratings at Fox News Channel and growing advertiser interest at its Tubi streaming service bolstered performance in its fiscal fourth quarter, with the company's focus on live programming, sports and news shielding it from some of the challenges its rivals are facing in an era when more consumers are using on-demand broadband for more of their video entertaiment. The owner of the Fox broadcast network and Fox Sports said revenue in the period rose 6%, or $195 million, to $3.29 billion, largely on the strength of advertiser interest in Tubi and Fox News. Ad revenues rose 7% during the period, Fox said, while affiliate revenue rose 3%. More from Variety Fox Corp. Races to Collect Creators Before Rivals Can Do the Same Nintendo's Switch 2 Sales Near 6 Million Apple Services Revenue Grows 13% to New Record, Earnings Massively Beat Street Amid Trump Tariff Uncertainty 'We remain confident that our focused strategy, leadership position in key verticals and strong balance sheet will continue to deliver value to all shareholders,' Lachlan Murdoch, Fox's CEO, said in a statement. Fox said its fourth quarter net income came to $717 million, or $1.57 per share, compared with $319 million, or $.68 per share, in the year-earlier period. Excluding items, Fox reported adjusted earnings of $581 million, or $1.27 per share. While Disney, NBCUniversal and others have put many of their resources toward building out new streaming venues, Fox has maintained a hold in the linear world, still focused on drawing large, simultaneous audiences to everything from IndyCar racing to Greg Gutfeld's 10 p.m. program on Fox News Channel each weekday night. To be sure, Fox has launched streaming outlets, including Tubi and Fox Nation, but they are largely seen as complementary to the company's linear outlets — not a substitute for them. Those dynamics may be set to change. Fox intends to unveil a new streaming outlet, Fox One, in the next few weeks. The service will make its linear sports and news offerings — as well as other content — available via streaming, though Murdoch has said the company's intent is to court audiences who do not already have subscriptions to cable or satellite services and otherwise might not watch Fox programming. Revenue from Fox's cable networks rose 7%, or $94 million,. to $1.53 billion, owing to a $20 million hike in affiliate fees and a $50 million increase in advertising. Fox said it also saw $24 million in revenue from other sources, including Fox Nation subscriptions. Revenue from traditional TV operations rose 6%, or $92 million, to $1.71 billion. Fox said ad revenue rose $21 million, citing 'continued digital growth' at Tubi. Affiliate fees rose $29 million during the period.

'My Heart Sank': Here's What Twiggy Herself Has Said About That Viral 1967 Interview Where 'Cruel' Woody Allen Tried To Humiliate Her
A 58-year-old interview is going viral after people were left impressed by the expert way that British supermodel Twiggy reacted to director Woody Allen's attempt to embarrass her. Twiggy, who would have been just 17 years old at the time, is being lauded for how she handled the potentially awkward situation, with then-31-year-old Woody seemingly belittling her intelligence during the uncomfortable conversation. Related: Woody kicked off the 1967 interview by asking Twiggy her thoughts on 'serious matters,' and when she asks what he means by that, he replies: 'I don't know, who's your favorite philosopher?' Twiggy can't hide her shock at the question, and she laughs awkwardly before answering: 'I haven't got one, I have no idea.' She then curiously asks: 'Who's yours?' 'Oh, I like them all,' Woody stutters in response, but Twiggy refuses to let him get away that easily. 'Who?' she asks again, and Woody sheepishly replies: 'All your basic philosophers.' 'Who?' Twiggy repeats, Woody once again stumbles over his words as he says: 'Just all of them.' Related: 'I don't know their names though,' Twiggy confesses, with a serious look on her face. 'What are their names?' Twiggy previously revealed that this interview took place during her first-ever trip to New York, and that she wanted to run off and 'burst into tears' when Woody first asked the question. "There was one person who wasn't so nice — a young comic called Woody Allen, and he was to interview me for a documentary," she told Glamour in 2009. "His first question was: 'Who's your favorite philosopher?' My heart sank. I wanted to run off and burst into tears. I didn't know any philosophers. And he probably knew I didn't.' 'When I said so, he replied: 'Oh, come on, everyone has a favorite philosopher.' It was such a cruel thing to do to a young girl," she continued. Twiggy also revealed that Woody left the set and refused to continue with the interview after she turned the tables on him. Related: "I was desperate and trying not to cry, but I turned the tables on him and asked him to come up with some names — but he couldn't think of any either!' Twiggy recalled. 'Then he said to me: 'I suppose you've read Dickens,' thinking I hadn't. So I said: 'Yeah, I read him at school.' In the end, he said: 'Oh, I can't interview her,' and left the stage." And in a 2025 interview with the Guardian, Twiggy said: 'He was trying to make me look stupid. My heart sank. I remember looking at him, pleading with my eyes for him to stop.' 'If I was the age he was there, in my 30s, I would never have behaved like that towards someone who was only 17,' she added. The interview clip resurfaced on X on Sunday and quickly went viral, racking up over four million views and thousands of likes and retweets as other users praised Twiggy's reaction. One quote-tweet that has been liked more than 92,000 times reads: 'She was 17, a perfectly acceptable age to not know any philosophers but a very impressive age to embarrass a 31 year old with his own bullshit.' 'I love how the look in her eye goes from bashful to, 'oh, I'm going for the kill now. Game on,'' somebody else noted. 'The funniest part about this is you'd think the obvious thing to do if you plan to ask a question to humiliate someone is to know the answer yourself, but the thought never even crossed his mind,' another wrote. And one more concluded: ''What are your thoughts on serious matters?' is the most fake intellectual question of all time like… which one???'
