This week on The Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel brings together special guests Keith, Kosta, and RJ to discuss Spider-Man: Brand New Day topping the domestic box office, women proposing to men, whether hip hop is a young man’s game, and Roc Nation’s reported struggle to secure a performer for the 2027 Super Bowl halftime show.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially swung into the record books. Tom Holland’s latest outing as the web-slinger has surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing film ever at the North American box office. After opening to a massive $360 million domestically, the Marvel and Sony blockbuster continued drawing audiences throughout the summer, eventually breaking a record that had stood for more than a decade. With nearly $2.5 billion earned worldwide, Brand New Day has turned Spider-Man’s latest adventure into one of the biggest theatrical events in movie history.

For generations, the classic marriage proposal has usually followed one familiar script: the man gets down on one knee and asks the woman to marry him. But as relationships and gender roles continue to evolve, more couples are questioning why proposing has to be the man’s responsibility.

Hip-hop has traditionally been associated with youth—new artists, new sounds and younger generations constantly pushing the culture forward. But more than 50 years after hip-hop's emergence, many of its artists and listeners are growing older together. Veterans continue to release music and perform, while established stars are maintaining major audiences well into their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. At the same time, younger artists remain essential to introducing new styles and trends.

the race to headline the 2027 Super Bowl Halftime Show is heating up. With Super Bowl LXI headed to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, on February 14, 2027, speculation continues over which music superstar will take one of entertainment’s biggest stages. Justin Bieber and Harry Styles have reportedly landed high on Roc Nation’s wish list, while names including Miley Cyrus and Jay-Z have also been part of the wider conversation. But with no official headliner announced yet, the biggest question remains: Who will headline Super Bowl 2027? (via Source: TMZ - Read the TMZ report )
