New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: Happy Gilmore 2, Wicked, Death of a Unicorn and More
I've been waiting three decades for another warm glass of shut the hell up and it's finally here. Happy Gilmore 2 arrives to Netflix this week, and we're thrilled to confirm that Julie Bowen, Christopher McDonald and Ben Stiller have all joined Adam Sandler for the sequel. Also out this week is Wicked, which is now on Prime Video, and the weird, darkly funny Death of A Unicorn, which drops on HBO Max this Saturday.
New on Netflix July 25: Happy Gilmore 2
Nearly 30 years after the original came out, Happy Gilmore 2 is arriving on Netflix. The original film introduced us to Happy Gilmore, one of Adam Sandler's most beloved characters of the 1990s, a hockey fanatic who realizes he can turn his slapshot into a lucrative golf swing. The sequel, out on Netflix this Friday, reunites much of the original cast, as well as cameos from several pro golfers, and Bad Bunny, too.

Iconic ‘60s Singer and Satirist Dies at 97
Iconic '60s Singer and Satirist Dies at 97 originally appeared on Parade. The year is 1967. The black-and-white TV screen reveals an impeccably dressed, bespectacled academic in his late 30s. His fingers fly over the ivory keys of a baby grand piano. The first words out of his mouth are 'when you attend a funeral.' What follows is a familiar narrative about loss making you think of your own relatives weeping for you at your funeral, sung with appropriate pomp and circumstance. Then… something shifts. 'Don't you worry,' the singer knowingly smiles at his audience. 'For if the bomb that drops on you/ gets your friends and neighbors too,/ there'll be nobody left behind to grieve.' The song, 'We Will All Go Together When We Go,' picks up as he merrily continues to sing of the likelihood of impending nuclear destruction. The audience is unabashed with their delight, for the man on the screen is not your average run-of-the-mill entertainer. He is, instead, the legendary satirist Tom Lehrer, 97, who passed away in his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts on Saturday, according to Variety. Born in Manhattan in 1928 to a Jewish family, math prodigy Lehrer started his higher education at Harvard when he was 15. Known for his razor-sharp wit and darkly funny, politically savvy songs, the Harvard-educated mathematics professor had a surprising entry into entertainment, and an even more unexpectedly short tenure there. In a 1997 interview with Elijah Wald, Lehrer described what led him to write satirical songs in the first place. He had no yearn for fame or even any real love of performance, despite his natural stage presence. Instead, 'I would listen to the radio and think, 'I can write a song as good as that,' and the problem is, they already have people who can write songs 'as good as that' so what do they need one more for? What is necessary is somebody that can write something different.'' Lehrer was certainly different from anyone who came before him, and his unique blend of musical wit would inspire generations of entertainers to come. In the wake of his death, his fans – including the famous ones – flocked to social media to pay their respects. 'My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living,' Alfred 'Weird Al' Yankovic, 65, posted to Instagram. 'RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.' Fans filled the comments section with 'RIP's and condolences aplenty. 'I'll miss him forever,' wrote one distraught fan. In the early '50s, Lehrer self-released a few albums while still a professor by trade, with teaching posts including Harvard, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of California, according to The BBC. 'I don't like people to get the idea that I have to do this for a living,' Lehrer deadpanned to one live audience in discussing his academic roots. 'I could be making, oh, $3,000 a year just teaching.' After the release of his first album, 'the word spread like herpes,' Lehrer quipped to Wald, describing how his self-released record went old school viral, selling a shocking 10,000 copies according to Variety. Before long Lehrer was performing in nightclubs, concert halls, and recording live concerts for television, his next record rising to number 18 on the American charts. In his songs, Lehrer explored socially taboo subjects with his signature light tunes and unabashedly frank lyrics. Along with exploring nuclear conflicts in the aforementioned 'We Will All Go Together When We Go,' Lehrer took on sexuality in 'The Masochism Tango' and 'Smut,' racism in 'National Brotherhood Week,' and addiction in 'The Old Dope Peddler.' He also made time for some lighter subjects, like mocking classic spring ballads in his own ode to the season, 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park.' He was in the height of his career in the '60s and '70s when, abruptly, Lehrer left the entertainment industry, eschewing fame in favor of a quiet life as a math teacher one quarter of the year, and a 'cheerful layabout' for the rest of the time. "I learned 25 years ago that you didn't have to shovel snow,'' he told Wald in the 1997 interview. "You didn't even have to see snow, and that was a great revelation to me.'' After his retreat from the public eye, Lehrer's popular satire returned to the press in 1980 when they were put together in the musical revue 'Tomfoolery.' Now, despite his passing, Lehrer's songs and his signature wit will live on forever, if the overflowing comments section of Weird Al's Instagram post is any indication. One fan perfectly mimicked Lehrer's signature sense of humor with a reference to his song 'Poisoning Pigeons in the Park' in the comment, 'The pigeons are safe, BUT AT WHAT COST.' Another fan commented with a reference to Lehrer's aforementioned song about bereavement, 'We Will All Go Together When We Go.' 'I thought we'd all go together,' the fan wrote along with a crying emoji.

The Morris Twins Finally Speak About The Beef With Jokic Brothers
The Morris Twins Finally Speak About The Beef With Jokic Brothers originally appeared on Fadeaway World. After nearly four years of silence, the Morris twins have finally opened up about their infamous altercation with Nikola Jokic and his brothers, an incident that sparked one of the NBA's most intense off-court storylines in recent memory. Appearing on a recent podcast, Marcus and Markieff Morris provided their unfiltered perspective on the 2021 scuffle that left Markieff sidelined for months and fueled a long-standing beef with the notoriously protective Jokic brothers. For the first time, the twins now break it all down, and they aren't holding back. Markieff Morris explained: "It was social media. It never went anywhere... It's a cheap shot. I did a basketball play. If you see the angle, I put my hand up, like I let it know I'm coming towards you. I fouled you. It's like a hard foul in the game." "If you hit me from behind, I think it's a cheap shot. I turn my back... If you asked me, I would have never ran. Like I'm physically walking. I'm walking away. So I'm not even in the mode of knowing you're about to hit me." "Like it's like a car crash. I'm just sitting regularly in the car, just hit you in the back. You're like, woo. So my thing was, I shoved the, I was going to do it. I don't take nothing back from it." "Like, I gave it out a ton of times. So when you get hit, it ain't like I feel sorry for myself..." The incident, which took place during a regular-season game between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets, began with Markieff delivering what he described as a hard, intentional foul on Nikola Jokic. The three-time MVP retaliated by shoving Markieff from behind, a move many fans and players deemed a "cheap shot." The altercation left Markieff with whiplash and a neck injury that kept him out for 58 games. In the aftermath, the Jokic brothers, known for their intense loyalty to Nikola, took to social media, threatening the Morris twins and fueling a dramatic narrative that spilled out well beyond the court. For months, the situation remained quiet, with both sides avoiding escalation. But the threat of something more physical always lingered. Now, the Morris twins make it clear: if things had ever gone further, they liked their odds. Despite the bravado, the twins' tone wasn't overly aggressive, more defensive than instigative. The interview seemed to serve as a chance to finally clear the air and assert that they never feared the Jokic brothers, nor did they regret their actions. Time may have cooled tensions, but the scars, both literal and emotional, from that chaotic moment still story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.
