The Five: What's ahead in pop culture this week
1. FILM: Americana Article content From a controversial American Eagle ad to her new film Americana, Sydney Sweeney continues to make headlines. The actress stars in this crime thriller about strangers whose lives violently intersect when they fight over a valuable ghost shirt — a garment from the Ghost Dance religion that's believed to have spiritual powers. From writer-director Tony Tost, the neo-Western was filmed in 2022 and premièred at the South by Southwest festival in 2023. The cast also includes Paul Walter Hauser, Halsey, Eric Dane, Zahn McClarnon and Simon Rex. Article content Article content 2 .TV: Limitless: Live Better Now (Aug. 15, Disney+) Article content Chris Hemsworth is once again pushing his limits. The actor headlined the National Geographic series Limitless With Chris Hemsworth in 2022, and now he's back with ways to live a longer and better life. Limitless: Live Better Now follows him as he tackles challenges in the hopes of having a sharper mind and stronger body. His targets? Pain, fear and cognitive decline. In a trailer for the three-part show, Hemsworth scales a 600-foot (183-metre) climbing wall in the Swiss Alps, trains with the South Korean Special Forces, and plays the drums at an Ed Sheeran concert. The series was filmed in six countries over two years. Article content 3. MUSIC: The Cranberries Article content Can anyone listen to Zombie by The Cranberries and not be instantly transported to 1994? The song was a hit single on the group's second album, No Need to Argue, and a 30th anniversary deluxe edition of that album is coming out Aug. 15. It has remastered audio plus unreleased live music from Woodstock '94 and an unearthed demo of Zombie. No Need to Argue sold more than 17 million copies worldwide, and it won a 1996 Juno Award for international album of the year. The Irish alternative rock band was made up of Mike Hogan, Noel Hogan, Fergal Lawler and Dolores O'Riordan, who died in 2018. Article content 4. BOOK: I am Ozzy Article content After Ozzy Osbourne's death on July 22, at age 76, his 2010 memoir I am Ozzy skyrocketed in popularity — and it's been on the New York Times bestseller list for two weeks as of press time. The audiobook is currently No. 4 on Audible's charts. Co-written by Chris Ayres, I am Ozzy tracks the Black Sabbath frontman's life from his humble beginnings in England to his rise to fame with Black Sabbath. Osbourne's final memoir, Last Rites, will be available through Grand Central Publishing on Oct. 7. In it, he details experiencing 'near-total paralysis from the neck down' at age 69 as well as reflects on his marriage and Black Sabbath's final concert. Article content Second-hand — ain't it grand? A full 90 per cent of Canadians have shopped at a thrift store or donated to one, according to a 2024 report from Value Village. And thrifting will likely only get more popular. 'With more than 40 per cent of Gen Z thrifting, we expect momentum and trends in the industry to continue,' said Nicole McPherson, vice-president of Canada field operations for Value Village, in a statement. 'The change is driven by a number of factors including economic, environmental and social benefits.' Canada has an estimated 1,400 used merchandise stores, according to data research company Statista.

Police arrest suspect after death threat against Jewish man in Montreal
A screenshot of a video posted on social media showing a man during an altercation in Montreal's Saint-Laurent borough. (Source: X/Mayer Feig) Montreal police say they arrested a suspect Friday after receiving reports of a man making 'threats and hateful remarks' toward a group of people in the city's Saint-Laurent borough. At around 4:40 p.m., police received several 911 calls and responded to the intersection of Fraser and Saint-Louis streets. When officers arrived, they quickly found the suspect, a 28-year-old man, and arrested him after speaking with witnesses. A short video posted on social media shows part of the altercation. In the video, a man can be heard saying 'we will kill you' and 'you f-cking pig' when speaking to people, including at least one of them being a member of the Jewish community, before walking away. Caroline Chevrefils, a Montreal police spokesperson, said the suspect will remain in custody until he appears in court Saturday via videoconference from a detention centre. Police say the hate crime unit was informed of the incident and that it will be up to the Crown prosecution office to determine whether charges will be laid. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) said in a statement that it was pleased that police made a swift arrest. 'Those who seek to threaten members of our community must be held accountable. If you see something, say something,' the group said in the statement. The incident comes days after a Jewish father was beaten up by a man in a park while he was with his children. A suspect in that case, which was also caught on video, is facing charges.
