Whenever someone asks me what movie scared me the most when I was a kid, my answer is always “The Matrix.” When I saw it for the first time, I immediately fell in love with its incredible action and undeniably cool characters.

So far, 2021 has had a lot to offer rap and hip hop fans with album drops from some of the genre’s biggest names. Releases from Drake and Kanye West will likely dominate the conversation for the rest of the year, but one of the U.K.’s most important rappers dropped a new record Sept. 3. “Sometimes I Might Be Introvert” is the fourth studio album from U.K. rapper and actor Little Simz, and it will hopefully remind hip hop fans — especially in the U.S. — that Little Simz is one of the most important voices to pay attention to. While the album may go under the radar for some, it deserves recognition for showcasing the multitalented Little Simz.

As the man behind one of Adult Swim’s most aggressively absurd and essential shows, “The Eric Andre Show,” Eric Andre has presented an unready world with more insanity in “Bad Trip,” released March 26 on Netflix. As a writer and the lead actor, Andre is out to channel pure chaos into a light and fun comedy about a road trip between two best buds as they travel to New York City. Chris Carey — played by Andre — is a deadbeat who has to ask out his old high school crush, leading him to leave Florida and endure copious amounts of psychological and physical traumas to get to her. Carey is joined by Bud Malone — played by Lil Rey Howery — in a car stolen from Bud’s violent sister Trina — played by Tiffany Haddish. However, almost every other character seen in the film is a real person filmed by hidden cameras as they become subjects to hilarious misadventures.
