'Be a boss. Don't let everybody put their hand in that cookie jar, period,' she said in reference to having too many sexual partners. 'It's literally not that deep. I'm pushing, like, 'Be a boss. Don't let everybody have access to you.'' She then added that her view on body count also applies to men. 'I think men should be like that too. Y'all just be slangin' that mother—-er around.'
Speedy then asked why she felt proud about having a low body count, after she claimed that she never said having multiple partners were a bad thing.
'It's not necessarily like a number that I'm proud of,' Latto responded. 'It's more so, everybody ain't touched this, everybody ain't had their hands on this mother—-er, you feel me?'
The 'body count' drama started when Latto and her younger sister Brooklyn were making a social video to promote her single 'Somebody' and Latto asked Tylil if he cared how many partners his girlfriend has had. 'Do you care how many bodies your girl got?' she asked before the popular streamer replied with, 'Nah, hell no, that don't got nothing to do with me' and asked why she always mentions body count in her raps and if she thinks fans believe her. 'I don't give a f— if they believe me; my n—a believe me,' she fired back.
Latto has mentioned body count on songs like 'Sunday Service' and 'Somebody,' where she raps, respectively, 'Anyway, body count so low, I might say I'm a virgin' and 'I don't care about your bodies.'
Elsewhere in the conversation, Latto was asked about her net worth reportedly being $5 million, and while she claimed that specific number is off, she also said having money isn't as fun as some might think.
'It's kinda boring,' she said after being asked what it feels like to be able to buy whatever she wants. 'For me? I was a millionaire at 21, so you grow up fast already being in the industry at a young age, and then you get a lot of money at a young age too. I think I get the most fun spoiling everybody around me now. I spend more money on other people than I do myself. I be so stingy with my money for myself.'

Tom Blyth is an undercover cop with a secret of his own in tense Plainclothes trailer
Tom Blyth—breakout star from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes—found his latest role in a particularly painful period of our own society's history. Blyth leads Carmen Emmi's Plainclothes as Lucas, an undercover officer assigned to seduce and subsequently arrest gay men in 1990s Syracuse. For Lucas, this isn't an easy task. 'You can always tell when a man is hiding something,' an uncle played by Gabe Fazio tells him midway through the trailer. Lucas does have a secret, and it's one that threatens a lot more than his livelihood. 'At his mother's New Year's Eve party Lucas, a young police officer, loses a letter no one was ever meant to read,' the film's logline reads. 'Amid the backdrop of the suffocating family party, the search for the letter unlocks memories of a past he's tried to forget: months earlier, while working undercover in a mall bathroom, Lucas arrested men by seducing them. But when he encounters Andrew (Russell Tovey), everything changes. What begins as another setup becomes something far more electric and intimate. As their secret connection deepens and police pressure to deliver arrests intensifies, Lucas finds himself torn between duty and desire. With time running out and his past closing in, Plainclothes builds toward a New Year's Eve reckoning where everything he's buried threatens to erupt.' 'Erupt' is a fitting word to describe this trailer. The tone is incredibly tense, as images from Lucas' past and present flash over a taut and anxiety-provoking score. Emmi certainly isn't romanticizing the history he's portraying, despite the against-all-odds love story at its core. Still, the film does promise to offer some catharsis by its end. 'I want to leave the audience with a feeling of hope,' Emmi told Deadline ahead of Plainclothes' Sundance premiere. 'So many times, these stories, I feel like end in tragedy. And from the beginning, that was exactly what I didn't want to do… I wanted our production to be a symbol of hope for maybe someone who was struggling with not even their sexuality, but any secret that they had. That was the goal for me.' Plainclothes premieres in theaters September 19. More from A.V. Club America weaponizes children, and Weapons follows suit R.I.P.

A Jurassic Park sequel is one of the Netflix sci-fi movies you need to watch (August 2025)
Netflix movies have been setting viewership records this summer. KPop Demon Hunters is now the streamer's most popular animated film ever. Plus, Golden, one of the film's singles, is currently No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Meanwhile, Happy Gilmore 2 generated the biggest U.S. opening weekend for a Netflix film with 46.7 million views. Aside from the in-demand movies, Netflix offers an eclectic selection of entertaining movies, especially in the sci-fi genre. One of our top picks this month is The Lost World, the underrated sequel to Jurassic Park. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, and the best movies on Amazon Prime Video. Weird Science (1985) John Hughes penned three scripts in 1985: National Lampoon's European Vacation, The Breakfast Club, and Weird Science. The latter two, which he directed, fall under Hughes' memorable coming-of-age movies in the '80s. The link between the two films is Anthony Michael Hall, who stars in both. In Weird Science, Hall and Ilan Mitchell-Smith play Gary and Wyatt, two nerdy teenagers who want to be popular. One night, the duo creates the perfect woman on Wyatt's computer. After a magical power surge, the boys' creation comes to life as Lisa (Kelly LeBrock), a beautiful superhuman who serves Gary and Wyatt. With Lisa by their side, the teens gain the confidence they need to throw a party in hopes of winning over their high school crushes. Despite being inferior to The Breakfast Club, Weird Science is a funny and charming version of a Frankenstein story. Stream Weird Science on Netflix. Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) From the late '90s through 2008, Brendan Fraser was a legitimate action star thanks to The Mummy franchise. One month before The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor was released in August 2008, Fraser headlined Journey to the Center of the Earth, an updated adaptation of Jules Verne's 1864 novel of the same name. Professor Trevor Anderson (Fraser) embarks on an expedition to Iceland with his 13-year-old nephew, Sean (Josh Hutcherson), to search for his missing brother. With the help of an Icelandic guide (Anita Briem), Trevor discovers Verne's novel is a legitimate map to the center of the Earth. Although they reach the Earth's center, the trio realizes they must escape or face the same tragic fate as Trevor's brother. Fraser's stoicism and comedic timing stand out in this sci-fi adventure film that kids will love. Stream Journey to the Center of the Earth on Netflix. The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) What more can be said about Jurassic Park? The movie remains a landmark achievement in sci-fi filmmaking. The sequel was never going to reach the heights of the original. However, The Lost World: Jurassic Park deserves more credit for being an exciting blockbuster. Four years after the events in Jurassic Park, the greedy capitalist, Peter Ludlow (Arliss Howard), becomes the new CEO of InGen. Feeling like there's a market for dinosaurs, Ludlow sends a group of mercenaries to Isla Sorna, aka Site B, to save the remaining dinosaurs in hopes of opening Jurassic Park in California. Learning about InGen's new plans, John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) recruits Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and a small team to disrupt Ludlow's mission. Even with inferior characters, Steven Spielberg's sequel still soars when the movie features numerous battles between man and dinosaur. Those pesky raptors remain as terrifying as ever. Stream The Lost World: Jurassic Park on Netflix. Lost in Starlight (2025) South Korean filmmaker Han Ji-won successfully helmed a sci-fi anime romance made for adults in Lost in Starlight. Set in 2050, Lost in Starlight explores the budding relationship between Nan-young (Kim Tae-ri) and Jay (Hong Kyung). Nan-young is an astronaut who dreams of leading an expedition to Mars. Jay is a musician and handyman. After Jay agrees to fix Nan-young's record player, the two begin spending more time together. What starts as a worker-client relationship eventually transforms into a loving partnership. For the first time in her life, Nan-young might have something to live for other than a life in space. Lost in Starlight puts some of your favorite adult dramas to shame because of its moving depiction of love and affection. Stream Lost in Starlight on Netflix. Sound & Fury (2019) Sturgill Simpson is no ordinary country singer. The Grammy-winning artist is more of an outlaw musician, like Johnny Cash, than a traditional country singer, like Garth Brooks. Simpson is fearless in his pursuit of new sounds, experimenting with different genres along the way. In 2019, Simpson released his fourth album, Sound & Fury, accompanied by a dystopian Netflix anime movie of the same name. Set to the songs on the album, Sound & Fury follows an enigmatic driver who battles several deadly opponents in a post-apocalyptic world. Think of Sound & Fury as Mad Max mixed with anime. The result is an impressively unique visual album that could stand alone as a triumphant anime film. Stream Sound & Fury on Netflix.
