Hey there, Popculturology fans. Welcome to the Friday newsletter.
This weekend is the fourth anniversary of Popculturology relaunching as a newsletter. The Omnicosm wouldn’t exist without Popculturology, so I’m offering a whopping 40 percent off yearly The Omnicosm+ subscriptions in honor of this anniversary.
You know what else you should spend your money on? The newly revealed popcorn buckets for Dune: Part Three. After the infamous Dune: Part Two popcorn bucket launched the craze (and earned its own SNL sketch), the new buckets are even more, um, risqué. Seriously. The popcorn bucket with two sandworms popping out of it dares you to explain why you think it’s problematic ...
When I rewatched Project Hail Mary a few weeks back, I wondered if the film’s Oscar moment had already passed it by. Amazon MGM Studios isn’t conceding the moment.
The studio unveiled a 15-category push for Oscar season, with one that would be a historic nomination if it happens: A Supporting Actor push for James Ortiz, the man who brought Rocky to life through both his puppeteering and voice acting.
I would love to see this happen. Rocky is the heart of the film, and without the relationship between Ryan Gosling and Ortiz’s work, Project Hail Mary doesn’t work. (We’ve known this was possibly in the works since the Academy declared Ortiz eligible for Best Supporting Actor back in April.)
But I don’t have hope that the Academy will rise to this moment. Remember when Andy Serkis delivered a groundbreaking motion-capture performance as Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes? Not only did the Academy not honor Serkis with a nomination, they gave the Oscar for Best Visual Effects to Hugo instead of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. (Gold Derby)
We got that shocking news on Thursday that Patrick Stewart had passed away “following a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer’s Disease and Lewy Body Dementia.” Stewart hadn’t publicly disclosed his health issues, so this took people by surprise.

I’m looking forward to this movie more than I am ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’
As the latest installment in the DCU scored the No. 1 spot, ‘You Can See Everything’ saw its weekend haul jump 25 percent from last weekend.
After two years, ‘The Rings of Power’ is almost back. PLUS: Amazon MGM’s Bond search nears the end, ‘SNL’ announces new hosts, and Conan O’Brien finds a ‘SubwayTakes’ friend.
The Elizabeth Holmes documentary came in second place to ‘Street Fighter,’ but its per-theater average blew away the competition.
