Friday November 21 2025 / 7pm to 11pm, Doors open at 6:30pm / Location: DTLA DOWN TOWN LOS ANGELES, CA 90015 Portable speakers “Welcome to the JB & I Show!” Today’s episode? We’re diving face-first into Heads of State—a movie that asks, “What if you made a buddy comedy with the world’s most unlikely politicians?” Step one: cast John Cena as the U.S. President and Idris Elba as the UK Prime Minister. Step two: drop them into an international disaster and let the mayhem unfold.
Here’s what you’re in for: Elba’s Sam Clarke and Cena’s Will Derringer have turned their countries’ alliance into a televised roast battle. Think petty squabbles, side-eye at summits, and enough banter to make your group chat jealous. But the jokes stop when Air Force One is blasted out of the sky, stranding our frenemies in enemy territory. Now they’ve got to work together—or kiss the “special relationship” goodbye. Priyanka Chopra Jonas jumps in as Noel, the MI6 agent who’s clearly too competent for this mess. She’s the glue holding this chaos together as the trio sprints across borders, dodges bullets, and tries to piece together a conspiracy that could blow up more than just their egos. With Ilya Naishuller (the mastermind behind all the mayhem) in the director’s chair and Peter Safran and John Rickard producing, Heads of State doesn’t waste a second of its 1 hour and 53-minute runtime. There are car chases. There’s snappy dialogue. There are explosions—so many explosions, you’ll start to wonder if fireworks safety videos were their only research. PG-13 means you get just enough bite without veering into “hide the kids” territory. And while the critics aren’t throwing parades (6.4 on IMDb, 68% on Rotten Tomatoes), they’re definitely not bored. It’s not gunning for Oscars, but as far as summer popcorn blockbusters go, it checks all the right boxes. Grab your popcorn, find a seat, and get ready for a wild ride. Heads of State lands in theaters July 2, 2025, courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios. Over-the-top? Absolutely. But that’s exactly why you’ll have a blast.
Yet it’s her sophomore album, Euro-Country, that has truly captured attention well beyond Irish borders. This week, CMAT sits as the bookmakers’ frontrunner for the Mercury Prize in Newcastle—a recognition she credits, in part, to Beyoncé. The global icon’s genre-bending 2024 album, Cowboy Carter, didn’t just top charts; it shifted the landscape for artists like CMAT, opening doors in a genre that has long been gatekept by tradition.
Reflecting on Beyoncé’s impact, CMAT notes, “Everyone’s allowed to make it.” She describes her own experience of traveling to America, only to be told her music didn’t fit the country mold—an exclusion rooted in the genre’s historical ties to southern, white, Christian conservatism. “What I’ve dealt with in my career so far is going to America and people not accepting that what I make is country music,” she says, highlighting the personal nature of her artistic struggle. For CMAT, challenging these boundaries is both a personal mission and a creative imperative. She’s faced skepticism and outright dismissal from genre purists who see country as the preserve of a particular community—a notion she’s determined to upend, one meticulously crafted song at a time. If the Mercury Prize judges recognize her work, it will mark a victory not just for CMAT, but for anyone who’s ever felt like an outsider. And as her ever-growing fanbase can attest, that outsider perspective is exactly what gives her music its undeniable appeal. CMAT credits Beyoncé for her Mercury Prize nomination.
D’Angelo was more than just a gifted musician—he was a force who helped shape the sound and spirit of the neo-soul movement in the 1990s. With unforgettable tracks like “Brown Sugar” and “Untitled (How Does It Feel),” he set a new standard for soul music and inspired a generation of artists and fans alike.
Widely recognized as one of the most important voices in R&B, D’Angelo was honored by Billboard as one of the greatest artists in the genre, and Rolling Stone placed him at number 75 on its list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time. Born in Richmond, Virginia in 1974, his impact will be felt for decades to come. We extend our deepest condolences to D’Angelo’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. His music, talent, and soul will be missed by all of us.  Katy Tunbridge isn’t just an artist—she’s a force. A GRAMMY® Voting Member and winner of multiple awards, Katy wears a lot of hats: singer-songwriter, producer, actress, and voice actor. Her music doesn’t fit neatly into any one box. Instead, she weaves together Pop, Rock, Americana, Soul, Reggae, and just a hint of Jazz, creating songs that are both fearless and strikingly honest.
Based in Los Angeles, Katy is deeply involved in her city’s music scene, always pushing boundaries and connecting with fellow artists. If you want to hear what it sounds like when genres collide and something new is born, check out Katy Tunbridge on YouTube , YouTube Music, Apple Music, or Pandora. Discover why so many people are talking about her—listen to Katy Tunbridge today. You can also find Katy Tunbridge right here on the IME iRadio Station.  Desiree Choy wears a lot of hats—singer, songwriter, actress, and indie artist—yet somehow, she makes it all feel effortless. Hailing from San Francisco, her music doesn’t shout for attention, but you won’t forget it once you’ve heard it. Around here at the IME iRadio Station, her songs are on repeat. Out of all the independent artists we feature from across the world, Desiree’s tracks have this way of sticking with you.
There’s something extra special about rooting for someone from your own backyard, especially when their sound hits as hard as hers does. That’s why we’re shining a spotlight on her latest single, “The Long Way.” Maybe this is your first time hearing her name, or maybe you’ve followed her for years—either way, you’re in for a treat. You can find Desiree Choy’s music on Amazon Music, Apple Music, YouTube, and of course, right here on the IME iRadio Station. Go ahead, check her out, and see why we can’t get enough of her.

You know what? I've been sitting here thinking about how incredibly lucky I am to have all of you in my corner. I know I've been a bit of a ghost lately (social media is hard, right?), but every like, comment, and message means the world to me. Speaking of which... how's everyone enjoying this holiday? I keep hearing people joke about needing a vacation from their vacation – you know, that thing where we somehow turn relaxation into another job? (Guilty as charged!) Let's make a pact: today, we're all going to actually chill. No to-do lists. No "productive" relaxation. Just pure, unfiltered downtime. Before I go back to my coffee and definitely-not-checking-emails morning, here's a gentle reminder: life moves pretty fast. Sometimes the best thing we can do is just pause and take it all in. Maybe even literally stop to smell some roses or some flowers, they're blooming like crazy right now! And if not finding some to smell can be fun too, haha. Catch you all soon (and this time I mean it!) Enjoy your day and have a wonderful Labor Day!!! ✨ Hey everyone, hope your day’s going awesome. I’m Isaac “the Fire Hawk” Middleton, and this is the JB&I Show. Today, we’ve finally got something wild to talk about: The Fantastic Four. Seriously, after three swing-and-miss movie attempts—1994, 2005, and 2015—I figured we’d never see a worthy version. Turns out, fourth time’s the charm. They nailed it. This new Fantastic Four movie? It’s the real deal. Top-tier, finally. More on that in a bit.
THE STORY So, here’s the setup: it’s been four years since a freak accident in space turned our heroes into the Fantastic Four. Now they’re celebrities, astronauts, and the world’s go-to defenders. Just as their personal lives start shifting, along comes a cosmic curveball—The Silver Surfer, who rolls up to warn about an even bigger threat: GALACTUS, the planet eater. Suddenly, saving the world is on the clock, and they’re up against the hardest challenge they’ve ever faced. THE FANTASTIC FOUR Let’s get to the heart of the movie: the team. Pedro Pascal steps into Reed Richards, aka Mr. Fantastic. I’ll be honest, I had my doubts—mainly because the man wouldn’t shave his mustache (throwback to Cesar Romero as Joker, right?). But he pulls it off. His Reed is brilliant, distracted by science, and just awkward enough. You can tell Pascal gets the “science guy” thing—he’s got the jargon down, thanks in part to his Mandalorian days. What’s refreshing? Even as the “smartest man alive,” Reed’s not always got all the answers. But the real MVP here is Vanessa Kirby (yep, from The Crown) as Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman. She’s the team’s backbone, both Reed’s wife and the emotional anchor for her brother Johnny and their friend Ben. When Sue’s fired up, you see she’s secretly the powerhouse of the four—and she finally gets the screen time to show it. Ebon Moss-Bachrach (you know him from The Bear) absolutely rocks—pun intended—as Ben Grimm, aka The Thing. The CGI here is next-level: every craggy detail pops, and you can hear the weight in every move or clap, like bricks smashing together. Ben puts on a brave face, but you catch glimpses of the pain that comes from being stuck as a giant orange rock. It’s subtle, but it works. Rounding out the team, Joseph Quinn (Stranger Things) brings a new flavor to Johnny Storm, the Human Torch. He’s less of a hothead than in the comics, a little older, a bit more science-minded—but still a media darling and, of course, still girl-crazy. THE SILVER SURFER AND GALACTUS Let’s talk about the most talked-about casting: Julia Garner (Ozark) as the Silver Surfer. Some folks lost it over the gender swap, but honestly? She’s fantastic. The effects on the Surfer’s metallic skin, the way she zips through space like it’s a cosmic ocean—it’s visually stunning. The flying scenes are some of the best in the movie. And then there’s Ralph Ineson (you’ve seen him in Harry Potter and Game of Thrones) as Galactus. This isn’t some weird smoky cloud like in that 2007 movie. This is Galactus as he’s meant to be—massive, awe-inspiring, a true force of nature. He’s not evil, just unstoppable—like getting mad at a hurricane. WRITING AND THE RETRO VIBE One thing I loved? The pacing. It’s not wall-to-wall action, but it never drags. The story is tight, and the whole alternate-1960s aesthetic totally fits. You get that golden-age sci-fi vibe: the clothes, the futuristic Baxter Building, the old-school news broadcasts. I’d bet good money this movie gets Oscar nods for costume and production design. It also captures America’s fascination with science and space, right down to moments that feel like lost Star Trek episodes (which is perfect, honestly, since the Fantastic Four are more explorers than soldiers). THE FINAL VERDICT: WHY IT MATTERS So, the big question: would I watch it again? Absolutely. This is my second favorite popcorn flick of the year (after SINNERS), and it’s a must-see on the biggest screen you can find. People are calling it “a live-action Incredibles”—which is ironic, since The Incredibles basically borrowed everything from the Fantastic Four. No question: this is the best Fantastic Four movie ever made, and honestly, it’s about time. Now, why does getting the Fantastic Four right matter? Because these four are Marvel’s original “experiment.” All those things that make Marvel great—realistic characters, relatable problems, superheroes with actual lives and flaws—it all started with the Fantastic Four. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby broke every rule: no secret identities, real-world settings, pop culture references, superheroes who actually struggle financially and fight like a real family. They were famous, flawed, and sometimes even feared. They paved the way for everything Marvel became. So yeah, I’m pumped they finally got it right. This movie gets the Fire Hawk Seal of Approval and my highest honor, the Gold Star. But enough from me—what did you think? Did you catch it yet? Did it live up to the hype? Or did it miss the mark for you? Let’s hash it out. Let's Talk About It! |
