From the sublime (chips dunked in milkshake), to the outrageous (watermelon and mustard), Fern knows there is no better – or funnier – way to get familiar with her celebrity guests than by uncovering the weird concoctions they gobble up when no one is watching. 

Knife and fork poised? The What a Combo! menu always has three dishes on offer; dishes that Fern and her guests actually sample on the podcast. First, guests’ offer up their perfect Snacking Combo – think banana and peanut butter, delightful! Then, their Wild Combo is revealed – AKA their guilty pleasure – the food pairing they have been too ashamed to share with anyone else…until now. Finally, they try the Twisted Combo – an off the wall dish that’s gone viral online – cooked up by the ‘scientists’ at Twisted HQ to wow and shock Fern and her guest.

Some of this season’s most Twisted combos…

Watermelon and mustard, as made famous by Lizzo
Apple pie and cheddar cheese
Swedish delicacy, banana pizza
Ice cream and chilli crisp
Biryani and Chocolate sauce, the Indian TikTok food sensation
Garlic bread and orange juice

Trafalgar Releasing, Sony Music Entertainment and RCA Records Announce Cinema Event To Coincide With Spears’ Highly Anticipated Memoir Release the Woman in Me on October 24

Tickets Go on Sale for Cinemas Worldwide on September 28 at www.crossroadsfanevent.com

Los Angeles, CA – September 21, 2023 – Trafalgar Releasing, Sony Music Entertainment and RCA Records announced plans today to bring Crossroads, starring Britney Spears in her first feature role, to cinemas worldwide on Oct. 23 and Oct. 25, 2023 for a special global fan event. The Crossroads Global Fan Event will coincide with the release of Spears’ highly anticipated memoir, THE WOMAN IN ME, available worldwide on Oct. 24, 2023. The 2002 film, written by Shonda Rhimes (creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and Executive Producer of Bridgerton) and directed by Tamra Davis (13: The Musical, Dead To Me, Billy Madison), features a star-studded cast including Britney Spears, Anson Mount, Zoë Saldana, Taryn Manning, with Kim Cattrall and Dan Aykroyd. 

Tickets for the Crossroads Global Fan Event will go on sale Sept. 28, 2023, at 9:00 a.m EDT at www.crossroadsfanevent.com. The film will be distributed in over 875 locations across 24 countries.

The Crossroads Global Fan Event will also include a bonus sing-along of two Britney Spears’ songs from Crossroads following the film, which have never been seen on the big screen.

Crossroads tells the story of three childhood friends, Lucy (Spears), Kit (Zoë Saldana) and Mimi (Taryn Manning), who, after eight years apart, rediscover their friendship on a cross-country trip. With barely a plan, practically no money but plenty of dreams, the girls catch a lift with Mimi’s handsome friend Ben (Anson Mount) in his convertible. Along the way they not only gather experiences that will change their lives, but they also discover how important it is to hold onto their hearts’ desires.

Director Tamra Davis said of the Crossroads Global Fan Event, “I am beyond thrilled that Sony Music Entertainment, RCA Records and Trafalgar Releasing are rereleasing Crossroads in movie theaters. I recently rewatched Crossroads and was so enthralled with the time capsule of nostalgia that this incredible ensemble cast brings to the screen. Britney is absolutely breathtaking to watch, and Shonda is showing us her early expertise in writing complicated female characters. We had the best time in the world making this picture and the connection the actresses bring to their performances shows in every frame. The music will undoubtedly have audiences dancing and singing along and I know everyone will have as much fun watching these scenes as we had making them. I’m so grateful that Crossroads will be available so people can see Britney shine again.”

Crossroads, which premiered in 2002, has gone on to become a fan favorite following its original U.S. release, generating more than $61M globally. Today’s announcement marks the first time, in recent years, the film has been widely available since its original theatrical release date.

“We’re excited to partner with Sony Music and RCA Records to create an opportunity for fans to enjoy this highly sought after film in cinemas, and to rally in support of Britney telling her story in her upcoming memoir release,” said Marc Allenby, CEO, Trafalgar Releasing.  

The Crossroads Global Fan Event is part of a major investment and promotion of the classic film. On Oct. 20, 2023, RCA Records will release “Crossroads: Special Edition”, a soundtrack to accompany the re-release of the 2002 classic film. In addition to fan favorites, the album will include three new Britney Spears remixes: “Overprotected” (Richi Lopez Remix), “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” (Snakehips Remix) and “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” (Frank Walker Remix). Additionally, the re-release will include the launch of a Crossroads merchandise line featuring movie-inspired tees, sweats, jackets and more, in addition to recreations of wardrobe worn by the cast from the film itself.

Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, will publish THE WOMAN IN ME, the eagerly awaited memoir from Britney Spears on Oct. 24, 2023. “We are thrilled that Sony Music, RCA Records and Trafalgar Releasing have partnered with us to celebrate the publication of THE WOMAN IN ME by Britney Spears. This special global theatrical re-release of Crossroads is a gift to Britney’s fans and a reminder of her enormous impact on pop culture worldwide,” said Jennifer Bergstrom, Senior Vice President and Publisher of Gallery Books.

Film Brings Worshipful Experience to North American Theaters in a Brand New Documentary, with Limited Screenings Beginning November 30

Tickets on sale September 27

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 20, 2023 – Sony Music Entertainment, Provident Films and Trafalgar Releasing today announced the release of HOME BY SUNDAY, the remarkable story behind the journey, music and ministry of GRAMMY-winning, multi-Platinum-selling group Casting Crowns. Coming exclusively to North American theaters, with limited screenings beginning Nov. 30, HOME BY SUNDAY takes audiences on a worshipful experience 20 years in the making. Tickets will go on sale Sept. 27 and audiences can sign up for pre-sale information by visiting CastingCrownsMovie.com.

Casting Crowns is known worldwide for its poignant songs of truth. Arguably one of the most successful CCM artists in the last two decades, since the release of their debut self-titled album in 2003, the band has sold more than 13 million albums worldwide, earned 15 career No. 1 singles and received numerous awards, including one GRAMMY, 18 GMA Dove Awards, four American Music Awards and two Billboard Music Awards. 

Yet despite the many accolades, to Mark Hall, Casting Crowns’ lead singer and songwriter, his most important title is “youth pastor.” Through 20 years of touring and recording, the band has been faithful to always be “home by Sunday” to keep their local church commitments. 

“We’re no different than the other people sitting next to us at church. They go out every week and do what God’s gifted them to do, and they use their gifts to reach the world with the Gospel in their way,” said Melanie Hall, Mark Hall’s wife who also leads the band’s tour operations. “Mark always says if you want to stay humble, go play in front of thousands of people Saturday night and then show up on Sunday morning, walk in for church and get snubbed by a middle schooler who says, ‘So, why weren’t you at my game last night?’”

From their beginning days as a youth group band to the inspiration behind one of their most beloved songs and a near-life-ending diagnosis, HOME BY SUNDAY gives a behind-the-scenes look into the mission and mindset that has driven Casting Crowns for the last two decades.

“What I love about this documentary is that it is not just a Casting Crowns origin story, but really a telling of how Casting Crowns’ songs have been woven into peoples’ individual stories over the last 20 years,” said Holly Zabka, president of Provident Entertainment. “These songs have walked with people through sorrow and celebration, rescue and redemption…always pointing to Jesus. That is the real story of Casting Crowns.”

In addition to the HOME BY SUNDAY theatrical event on Nov. 30, Casting Crowns is also releasing Lifesongs: A Celebration of the First 20 Years,a special edition album featuring reimagined versions of the biggest songs of the band’s storied career with featured collaborations. The band will also embark on their 20th anniversary tour starting on Sept. 28 in Albany, New York. The tour will visit theaters in 20 markets this fall and features a live orchestra.

“From their humble beginnings to the challenges they’ve overcome, we are excited to showcase Casting Crowns’ musical evolution, the stories behind their meaningful lyrics, and the unwavering faith that has been the cornerstone of their artistry,” said Kymberli Frueh, SVP for Programming and Content Acquisitions for Trafalgar Releasing. “This documentary is our way of celebrating Casting Crowns’ impact and expressing our gratitude to the fans who have supported them throughout the years.”

HOME BY SUNDAY is distributed by Sony Music Entertainment. It is produced and directed by Gregory Smith (ENDS OF THE EARTH). For more information, visit CastingCrownsFilm.com.

In the 1980s, Petter (from Norway) saw an advertisement for American pen pals and he starts to write letters with Stephanie. They have an instant connection. As life throws them one curveball after another, their dream of meeting is put on hold for years. That dream slips further away when Stephanie gets engaged to another man. But that’s not the end of their love story.

Lori & Brendan from Chicago:
As wedding planner Lori approaches 40, she wonders whether she will ever meet the love of her life and finally be the one to walk down the aisle. After years of disastrous dating, she nearly gives up. She gives it one last try on a dating app. There’s a match; Las Vegas party boy Brendan.  

Jeff & Kelly from Iowa:
When Kelly dumps her high-school boyfriend three weeks before prom – she has one final favor, would Jeff still be her date? He agrees – but soon hatches a plan to sabotage Kelly’s prom night. After years of holding onto resentment for his first love and first heartbreak, Jeff meets Kelly at a school reunion.

“It’s been a real privilege hosting You Had Me at Hello and discovering these powerful, true stories of love against all odds. Amongst the negative news we come across day-to-day, I hope the podcast will remind everyone that love can be just around the corner… and I can’t wait to share it with listeners,” said host Taye Diggs.

Listeners Can Subscribe to The Binge to Listen To The Full Season Today

New York, NY – September 5, 2023 – Campside Media and Sony Music Entertainment today premiered Chameleon: Gallery of Lies, the newest season of the fan-favorite con-themed franchise podcast series Chameleon. Subscribers to The Binge can listen to all episodes, all at once today. 

Hosted by Bijan Stephen, this season of Chameleon chronicles the rise and fall and potential rise again of one of the most powerful figures in the global art market – German art advisor and dealer Helge Achenbach. In 2015 Achenbach was convicted of defrauding his friend and client Berthold Albrecht, an heir to the Aldi supermarket fortune, to the tune of about $20 million.

The series explores Achenbach’s life and crimes, along with his illustrious career. Before his arrest, Achenbach had invented the field of art consulting/advising in Germany, and was therefore instrumental in helping the art market globalize in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. He worked and socialized with artists like Warhol, Koons, and Richter, became president of his hometown soccer club, and even opened a number of restaurants before his fall from grace. These days, he lives in borrowed houses in the Canary Islands and in Dusseldorf, where he’s at work on a foundation called Culture Without Borders — meant to nurture artists from oppressed regions around the world. 

“The story of the German art dealer Helge Achenbach is fascinating. In his rise and subsequent fall, he seems to me something of a modern-day Icarus. And I’m certain listeners will find a lot here to love,” said host Bijan Stephen. 

An award winning series, Chameleon took home Podcast of the Year at the 2023 Ambies for its hit season Wild Boys. Chameleon: Gallery of Lies is produced by Bijan Stephen and Henry Lavoie, executive produced by Mac Montandon, engineered by Garrett Tiedemann, and edited by Emily Martinez and Matt Shaer at Campside. 

Listeners can subscribe to Chameleon: Gallery of Lies on The Binge, as well as all major podcast platforms, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. For more information on Chameleon: Gallery of Lies and all other Sony Podcast shows, follow @SonyPodcasts and @campsidemedia on X/Twitter and Instagram.

Sony Music Entertainment launches season three of This is History: A Dynasty to Die For today. Hosted by award-winning medieval historian, broadcaster and author Dan Jones, season one topped Spotify’s UK History Chart, and the Apple History Chart in the US.

Power, greed, religion and sex: Dan brings the drama of medieval history to life through compelling stories, fascinating characters and vivid scenes, accompanied by an immersive soundscape. The podcast tells the story of the Plantagenets, one of the most powerful and dysfunctional families in European history. Their scandals, betrayals and bloody politics shaped the world we live in today. 

In Season three, King John takes his turn as the head of the Plantagenet empire – and finds himself fighting on all fronts. His reign is at risk from family rivalry, an aggressive French king, his unhappy barons and even the Pope. But perhaps the greatest threat is his own recklessness and vicious cruel streak.  

Over twelve action-packed episodes, listeners will find out how John’s misadventures lay the groundwork for modern Europe. Whether you think he’s a brilliant administrator, brutal murderer, or incompetent bungler, there’s never been a king quite like John.

If you’ve not listened yet, seasons one and two are available to listen to now so you can hear this wild story from the beginning. Dan guides his listeners through this tumultuous period of history in a manner that’s at once compelling and engrossing, as well as accessible and fun. Dan’s even heard from teachers that they use the podcast as a tool in history lessons.

TORONTO — Lil Nas X and TIFF are excited to announce the world premiere of the groundbreaking, GRAMMY award-winning rapper, singer and songwriter’s documentary, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, which was shot during the course of his first ever tour. A new addition to the Gala programme, the film, produced by RadicalMedia, in association with Sony Music Entertainment’s (SME) Premium Content Division, Columbia Records and Museum & Crane, follows Lil Nas X as he embarks on his first ever global tour. The diaristic film is a remarkably intimate portrait of an artist on tour navigating identity, family, expectations and acceptance, all while reflecting on his place within the legacy of Black, queer performers.

Directed by Carlos López Estrada and Zac Manuel, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero captures one of today’s most provocative pop stars at a transformational point in his life, both on and off stage. Shot over the course of 60 days with unparalleled access, the film follows Montero Hill, aka Lil Nas X, on an emotional odyssey through the creation and performance of the critically acclaimed “Long Live Montero” show.

“Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero is a triumphant ode to the extraordinary power of self-expression, music, and identity,” said Cameron Bailey, CEO. “In this groundbreaking documentary, we witness Lil Nas X challenging boundaries and reshaping the artistic landscape. The film’s captivating journey underscores the profound impact of Lil Nas X, who fearlessly brings audiences together through the universal language of music. We are thrilled to host Lil Nas X at TIFF this year.”

López Estrada is an Academy Award-nominated filmmaker with credits including Blindspotting, for which he received a DGA nomination for Outstanding Directorial Achievement for a First-Time Feature Film. Additional films include Summertime and Raya and the Last Dragon, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. López Estrada began his career directing music videos for musicians such as Billie Eilish, Thundercat and Flying Lotus, Katy Perry and Carly Rae Jepsen.

Manuel is an award-winning filmmaker focusing on documentary works that explore intimacy, Black masculinity, class, identity and inheritance. His cinematography and directing credits include the Academy Award-nominated Time, Alone (Sundance Jury Award Winner – Best Non-Fiction Film), Buckjumping, The Earth is Humming, America (Sundance Jury Award Winner), The Cut, This Body, and Descendant.  

Since his instant rise to fame in 2019 when he released “Old Town Road,” Lil Nas X upended the music industry. The single with Billy Ray Cyrus became the longest running #1 single in Billboard Hot 100 history after 19 weeks atop the chart. The 16-time Platinum hit was recognized with numerous awards including two GRAMMYs. In March 2021, Lil Nas X released the culture-shifting, five-time Platinum hit “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name).” The queer anthem debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained atop of the Spotify Global chart for over a month straight. After releasing his debut album Montero in September 2021, it went on to boast the five-time Platinum hit “Industry Baby,” which became the #1 most streamed hip-hop song of the 2020s on Spotify. It’s this success that has propelled Lil Nas X to be one of only a few artists who have had three songs surpass more than one billion streams on Spotify and create bombastic performances that have been hailed – according to NME – “undoubtedly a watershed moment for queer pop.”   

RadicalMedia, is an award-winning premium creative production company recognized for their work on the Academy Award-winning Summer of Soul (… Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) directed by Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson and the Emmy Award-winning Hamilton directed by Thomas Kail and David Byrne’s American Utopia directed by Spike Lee.  

The documentary was produced by RadicalMedia with Dave Sirulnick serving as producer as well as Caryn Capotosto for Museum & Crane, Saul Levitz for Sony Music, Adam Leber, Adriana Arce and Hodo Musa for Rebel and Gee Roberson for BPG/Maverick. Meredith Bennett, Jon Kamen and Frank Scherma serve as executive producers for RadicalMedia. Tom Mackay and Krista Wegener also serve as executive producers for Sony Music. Wegener will lead global sales for the film.
