Iggy Pop Performs The Stooges’ “I Got a Right” and “1970” for the First Time in Over a Decade: Watch
Iggy Pop headlined No Values Festival in Pomona, CA over the weekend, and he brought back some beloved favorites from the Stooges catalogs for the first time in a decade.
Specifically, Pop dusted off “I Got a Right” for the first time since 2003, and performed “1970” for the first time since 1989. He also ran through a handful of fan-favorite Stooges tracks, including “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” “T.V. Eye,” “Death Trip,” “Search and Destroy,” and several more. In fact, he only played two non-Stooges solo tracks: “Lust For Life” and “The Passenger.” Watch clips of the performance below.
Pop was accompanied by an all-star backing band featuring Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Nick Zinner, The Armed’s Uriah Hickney, guitarist Matt Sweeney, and more.
The set from Pop at No Values was a one-off show, meaning that the 77 year-old punk icon likely won’t reprise the Stooges-centric set on a major tour any time soon.

AMC’s two-minute trailer for The Walking Dead spinoff, The Walking Dead: Dead City, finds Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) shocked to discover Maggie (Lauren Cohan) needs him. Her son’s been kidnapped and as they’re heading to Manhattan, Maggie reveals the person who took him is well known to Negan.
The trailer shows off both human monsters and walkers, along with clips of action scenes with Maggie and Negan fighting as a team. And for those interested, the song is “Gimme Danger” by Iggy & The Stooges.
Eli Jorné (The Walking Dead) is the showrunner and executive produces along with Cohan, Morgan, and Brian Bockrath. Scott M. Gimple, chief content officer of The Walking Dead Universe, oversees the spinoff.

The zombie kill count is predictably sky-high in the newest trailer for The Walking Dead: Dead City, which sees Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprising their roles from the flagship series to navigate a post-apocalyptic New York City.
“How do we find our way out?” Maggie Greene, played by Cohan, asks as she surveys the mean streets of Manhattan, cut off from the mainland as she and Negan (Morgan) go on a mission to rescue her kidnapped son.
The teaser trailer — which is accompanied by the punk rock track “Gimme Danger,” performed by Iggy & The Stooges — is filled with the usual undead denizens of a crumbling city as The Walking Dead universe soldiers. The sequel also stars Gaius Charles and Zeljko Ivanek.
“How do I figure into this, Maggie?” an exasperated Negan asks at one point. Eli Jorné, who has been a writer and co-executive producer on The Walking Dead for multiple seasons,...

The legendary Iggy Pop, who turns 76 today (April 21st), kicked off his spring West Coast US tour at the Regent Theater in Los Angeles on Thursday night (April 20th).
His all-star backing band for this run includes bassist Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), drummer Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist/producer Andrew Watt, and guitarist Jamie Hince (The Kills).
The godfather of punk is out in support of his new album, Every Loser, which was produced by Watt and features McKagan and Smith on several tracks. The brief outing continues through an April 29th show in Las Vegas, with tickets available here.
The 12-song set for the tour kickoff included a cover of “Walk on the Wild Side.” While the rendition of the Lou Reed classic slowed things down considerably, Iggy and company rocked it out on solo favorites like “The Passenger” and “Lust for Life,” alongside Every Loser...

Jim Jarmusch said that his upcoming feature will likely go into production this fall — but that it also could have no music.
“The film we’re preparing now for late this year to shoot, probably, I think, may have no music,” Jarmusch said during the 2023 Overlook Film Festival as part of an “Only Lovers Left Alive” anniversary panel (via The Playlist).
Jarmusch continued, “It’s a very subtle film; it’s very quiet. And I think music could move it too much one way — it’s a funny and sad film, right? It sort of has both woven in. I don’t know if I want to have music to add some other thing over it. It doesn’t really want it so far.”
The “Paterson” filmmaker is known for his soundtrack choices, including casting musicians like Tom Waits, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Joe Strummer, Jack White, and RZA. Jarmusch also...

Anyone who hears the Crystal Method’s new single “Post Punk” may recognize a familiar voice laced throughout it: “I don’t want to be a punk. I don’t want to belong to any of it. I just want to be.”
It sounds just like Iggy Pop talking about the Stooges in Gimme Danger, Jim Jarmusch’s 2016 documentary about Pop’s former band. And, in fact, that’s exactly what it is — a sample of Pop’s voice propels the group’s first new single in four years.

Exclusive: In a fitting piece of nominative determinism, punk-rock icon Iggy Pop has joined the cast of dark comedy Blue Iguana, currently filming in the Cayman Islands.
The Stooges frontman, whose first band was called The Iguanas, which led to his nickname Iggy, is taking on the supporting role of Edward, the wealthy patriarch whose death kicks off a chain of unfortunate events for son Daniel whose plan to reconnect with his siblings hits a snag when he discovers they all want to kill him for his inheritance.
As we revealed last month, starring are Joel David Moore (Avatar), Bob Saget (Fuller House), Jason Jones (The Flight Attendant), Carly Chaikin (Mr. Robot) and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24).
Blue Iguana is directed by Canadian filmmaker Jeremy Lalonde (James vs. His Future Self) from a script by Matthew Dressel (The Pilot is Dead).

Roy Cohn had always been a haunting presence in filmmaker Ivy Meeropol’s life, but the full extent of his existence was only apparent after she watched Meryl Streep play her grandmother, Ethel Rosenberg, in HBO’s 2003 “Angels in America.” “I think seeing the film made me finally connect emotionally to my human story, and this was a story I needed to tell,” Meeropol says. “I could do something no one else could because of my family history.”
The result is the documentary “Bully. Coward. Victim. The Story of Roy Cohn,” which debuts June 19 on HBO.
Cohn was one of the most ruthless lawyers in American history — working with Sen. Joe McCarthy during the anti-Communist Army-McCarthy hearings of the 1950s. Cohn was also responsible, with McCarthy, for creating the Lavender scare of the ’50s, leading the government to repress and purge itself of homosexual people. And he pushed hard for...

Jim Jarmusch’s comic deadpan seems ideally suited to the zombie genre. So who better than this indie hipster, who’s been an avatar of cool from Stranger Than Paradise to Paterson, to take a stroll with the walking dead? Having tackled vampires in high style with 2013’s Only Lovers Left Alive, the undead are a logical next step. And yet The Dead Don’t Die, which opened the Cannes Film Festival with a whimper last month, feels like a pale facsimile of Jarmusch. There are a few lovely, random...

Leave it to Jim Jarmusch to breathe a little life into both the zombie movie and the Cannes Film Festival with his latest feature: the starry festival’s official opening night film, “The Dead Don’t Die.” The latest from the indie filmmaker takes him back to the kind of genre roots he previously toyed with in his vampire film “Only Lovers Left Alive” (what’s next? a werewolf movie?), with the “Paterson” and “Broken Flowers” director next exploring the vibrant after-life of zombies. At least he’ll be armed with some of his favorite collaborators, including Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, and Bill Murray.

“Carmine Street Guitars” is a one-of-a-kind documentary that exudes a gentle, homespun magic. It’s a no-fuss, 80-minute-long portrait of Rick Kelly, who builds and sells custom guitars out of a modest storefront on Carmine Street in New York’s Greenwich Village, and the film touches on obsessions that have been popping up, like fragrant weeds, in the world of documentary. “Carmine Street Guitars” is all about the weirdly grounded pleasures of analog culture; about the glory of hand-made artisanal objects in a world dominated by mass corporate production; about the aging, and persistence, of old-school jazz and rock ‘n’ roll; about the fading of bohemia in a world of rising rents, omnivorous bottom lines, and chain-store values; and about how all those themes fuse into a Zen ideal of doing what you love and loving what you do.
The film sounds earnest and touching in a minor, twilight-of-the-’60s way.

Adam Driver and Bill Murray take on the undead in a new comedy from the Jim Jarmusch, The Dead Don't Die.
Arthouse legend Jim Jarmusch is having a stab at the crowded zombie genre with his star-studded new comedy, The Dead Don't Die – and the first trailer is here.
For his first dramatic feature film since 2016's Patterson, the respected writer-director – one of the godfathers of Us indie cinema – is serving us some big names, big laughs and, from the look of the trailer, lots of flesh-eating, zombie-decapitating carnage.
Set in a small American town faced with an invasion of the undead, the film looks set to bring Jarmusch's trademark deadpan humor and quirky characters to one of cinema's most well-trodden sub-genres – much as he did with vampires in 2014's offbeat romance Only Lovers Left Alive.
He's assembled a hell of a cast, too, including previous collaborators Bill Murray,...

Filmmaker Jim Jarmusch and experimental lute player Jozef Van Wissem will release their fourth collaborative LP, An Attempt to Draw Aside the Veil, on February 8th via Sacred Bones Records. The duo teased the record with the shadowy track “Concerning the White Horse,” which unfurls metallic drones and throbbing toms over nearly 10 minutes.
Jarmusch and Van Wissen have been friends since 2006, after a chance meeting on the streets of New York City. The lute player contributed to the soundtrack of Jarmusch’s 2013 film, Only Lovers Left Alive, and they collaborated on three other 2012 records: Apokatastasis,...

If the pre-show unspooling before screenings at this year’s Cannes Film Festival’s Directors’ Fortnight section has felt particularly groovy, you can thank filmmaker Jim Jarmusch for assembling his very own ’80s-era playlist to play before various films roll out in the parallel sidebar.
The “Paterson” and “Broken Flowers” director might not have a film at this year’s festival, but he’s apparently contributed quite a lineup of favorite ’80s songs to at least one portion of the fest. Jarmusch has previously screened most of his films at the festival, from “Coffee and Cigarettes” (which won the Palme d’Or for short films in 1993) to his Stooges documentary “Gimme Danger” back in 2006.

Jim Jarmusch has been keeping it pretty chill since last year’s release of “Paterson” and “Gimme Danger,” but the director always has a couple irons in the fire. Last month, Tilda Swinton revealed she was gearing up to reunite with the filmmaker on a new project, which is yet to be revealed. But it seems that’s not all the director has cooking up.

Buyers return to Cannes like swallows to the Capistranos, but this year they’ll find a hostile landscape. Too many buyers, too few titles, and streaming-service disruptors are driving up prices all the while, making North American prebuys increasingly necessary.
That’s hazardous terrain: Witness the Weinstein Company’s $6 million bid for transgender drama “3 Generations” (aka “After Ray”). Two years later, after a title change and poor reviews on and off the festival circuit, the drama starring Elle Fanning and Susan Sarandon finally received a May 5 release. Total domestic gross to date: $46,421.
That was in 2015, the last year that TWC held its then-annual dog-and-pony show for buyers and press at the Majestic Hotel. This year, like the last, they’ll hold court on their yacht, which also serves as their offices — still tony, but on a budget; it’s a lot less expensive than that prime Croissette real estate. Meanwhile,...

You time is valuable, and so are both services for different reasons.War Machine (Netflix)
Although there may be a competition going on between Amazon and Netflix for subscribers, the truth is that both company’s streaming services are essential for anyone who watches a lot of movies and TV and who wants to be part of the pop culture conversations as they happen.
There’s no denying that Amazon Prime is worth the $99/year, which not only gives you access to many movies but also a good amount of music streaming and digital media access, plus faster shipping for when you actually want some sort of physical product (you can also just get video content for $8.99/month, which oddly means paying more for less).
And Netflix is still a must-have for both its exclusive and nonexclusive content, though depending on one’s usage could be best for sporadic membership rather than continued subscription — now at $120/year...

Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only).

Near the beginning of Evolution, there’s a shot that hangs underwater, showing a seemingly harmonious aquatic eco-system that’s glimpsed just long enough to create the sense of something that, while somewhat familiar, is distinctly outside the human world.

What a surprising city Rotterdam is and the Festival and Cinemart are full of surprises too.
Being in The Netherlands is like a homecoming for me. My first major job in the film industry was with 20th Century Fox International and City Fox Films in Amsterdam in 1975 which is when I first attended the International Film Festival of Rotterdam, three years after its founding by Huub Bals. It was much smaller then. Iffr’s logo is a tiger, loosely based on the M.G.M. lion as an alternative. From the beginning, the festival has profiled itself as a promoter of alternative, innovative and non-commercial films, with an emphasis on the Far East and developing countries. It has become one of the most important events in the film world, an integral part of the winter circuit of Sundance, Rotterdam and Berlin Film Festivals.

Hulu may have declared that March is karate month, but it looks like the folks at Amazon Prime won’t be observing that particular tradition this year. That’s because barely any of the new titles streaming on Amazon Prime in March are karate-based, including season four of Orphan Black, Kevin Spacey’s cat movie Nine Lives, and Taika Waititi’s What We Do In The Shadows. Prime is also adding a batch of new original shows and movies, including season four of Annedroids, season two of Hand Of God, the debut season of You Are Wanted, and Jim Jarmusch’s Iggy Pop documentary Gimme Danger. And even though you won’t be able to watch it before it wins or loses in its Oscar category, A Man Called Ove will be available at the end of the month.

A Bigger Splash (Luca Guadagnino)
Despite a loose script that justifies little, Italian director Luca Guadagnino’s follow-up feature to his glorious melodrama I Am Love is a sweaty, kinetic, dangerously unpredictable ride of a film. One is frustrated by the final stroke of genius that never came, but boy was it fun to spend two hours inside such a whirlwind of desires, mind games, delirious sights and sounds.

Music history tends to be filled with untold stories, or those whose contributions to shaping countless genres have gone underappreciated or forgotten. However, the title of the upcoming “Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked The World” says it all about who gets the spotlight in this documentary coming to the Sundance Film Festival for its World Premiere.

As the year comes to a close, there is one group we’ve yet to hear from about the Best of 2016: The Directors.
Filmmakers are busy folks, and some were instantly wary about making a list, with “I haven’t seen enough movies to make a top ten list” a common reply. So we decided to keep it loose. Including TV and other forms of entertainment was encouraged, how they chose to frame their list was totally flexible, and even if they only had a handful of projects they wanted to highlight, IndieWire made it clear we wanted to know what inspired them this year.
The most exciting thing, beyond how many great directors replied, is the time and energy they put into their lists. Be it Kirsten Johnson’s tribute to Abbas Kiarostami, Paul Feig’s surprise message to “Ghostbuster” trolls, Jennifer Kent teasing the start of her new film,...

Every year there are so many documentaries about musicians that it sometimes feels as if we will surely run out. We of course all know that will never be the case, and in this landscape of film distribution, documentaries like these are the easiest sells so it’s hard to blame the makers. In 2016 alone we’ve see films about The Beatles, Nick Cave, Oasis, Frank Zappa, and the late Sharon Jones. Jim Jarmusch has released Gimme Danger about Iggy Pop and The Stooges and there has even been yet another Rolling Stones doc called The Rolling Stones Ole Ole Ole!: A Trip Across Latin America that I never knew existed.
This week we’re looking at two more that are on this year’s Oscar eligibility long-list and which focus on polar-opposite worlds of music: rhythm and blues icon Mavis Staple and Japanese hard-rock phenomenon X.

★★★☆☆ James Newell Osterberg Jr. is better known as Iggy Pop, inventor of the stage dive, proto-punk jester and the lead singer of The Stooges. Sitting down with cult New York film director Jim Jarmusch, Pop, alongside his erstwhile bandmates, goes through the history of one of the bands which - to echo a claim Pop makes in the new documentary Gimme Danger - did a lot to kill the sixties. Starting out a drummer in a series of high school bands, the young Osterberg burned with an ambition to escape the confines of his small-town America, perhaps best represented by the mobile home he was brought up in by his devoted parents.
