Klaus Schulze, the pioneering German electronic musician who helped shape the genre with both krautrock giants and Tangerine Dream alongside a prolific solo career, has died at the age of 74.
The multi-instrumentalist’s family announced his death Wednesday, adding that Schulze died “unexpectedly” on April 26 following a long battle with an unspecified illness.
“His music will live on and so will our memories,” Schulze’s family said in a statement. “There was still so much to write about him as a human and artist, but he probably would have said by now: nuff said!

The pandemic has truly changed everyone and everyone in irreparable ways, but if you're like me (an immunocompromised weirdo), the inability to head to the theater and check out a new release has been absolutely agonizing. There are obviously much bigger and more severe ways in which the world has changed, but on the smaller end of first-world problems, it's getting harder and harder to watch the rest of the world happily pose with ticket stubs while many of us are relegated to whatever is accessible on VOD.

This story about “Hacks” first appeared in the Down to the Wire issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Like all good stories about comedians, “Hacks,” the HBO Max series that stars Jean Smart as a fading Las Vegas comic, began on the road.
“We were actually on a road trip many years ago,” Jen Statsky, who co-created “Hacks” with Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello, said. “Paul was shooting his ‘The Characters’ special for Netflix, and Lucia and I were there to help out. And we just started talking about female comedians and women in the arts in general — women of a certain age who hadn’t really gotten their due, while their male counterparts had a seemingly much easier path and got recognition. We were talking about these iconic women who nevertheless kept pounding the pavement, got knocked down 1,000 times and got back up 1,001 times. And we just became fascinated with telling that story.

This story about Tracee Ellis Ross first appeared in the Down to the Wire issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
By the time its sixth season was coming to a close, ABC’s “black-ish” was a smooth machine. One of the few broadcast TV shows still able to capture the zeitgeist in the streaming era, the show had more than a dozen Emmy nominations to its name and was being hailed as one of the most relevant and casually incisive series on television. The cast and crew knew the job inside and out. “The experience has been good from the beginning, but it’s only gotten better,” said star Tracee Ellis Ross, up for her fifth Emmy this year.
But, like every other show in production, black-ishwasturned upside down by the coronavirus. Season 6 had finished filming when the pandemic hit the U.S. in March 2020, meaning the comedy was able...

A version of this story about “The Boys” and Eric Kripke appears in the Down to the Wire issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
The second season of Amazon Prime Video’s “The Boys” took many a risk, including gender-flipping one of the fan-favorite characters from the Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson-created comic book series on which the show is based, shooting a scene in which the guys ram a boat into a (fake but anatomically correct) sperm whale, and concluding the season with Antony Starr’s superhero, Homelander, masturbating above the Manhattan skyline. But the biggest bet of all had nothing to do with what viewers saw on screen, and everything to do with when they saw it, as showrunner Eric Kripke and his fellow producers decided to switch the Sony TV-produced streaming show to a weekly rollout for Season 2, rather than the all-at-once drop they had used...

After 22 chapters, Marvel’s massive X-Men crossover event, X of Swords has come to a close, and with it, the Dawn of X era. The story touched every book in the X-Men family and brought us answers to a few of the lingering questions that were casually tossed at the audience during House of X/Powers of X. But X of Swords asked more questions than it answered. And heading into the next phase of X-Mastermind Jonathan Hickman and the rest of the magnificent team of X-Men creators’ big plan, that’s a very good thing.
To set the stage going into Reign of X, we’ve decided to lay out some of the big questions asked in X of Swords (and by the Reign of X teaser image you see at the top of the page).
What Happened In X Of Swords?

In the 1810 Caspar David Friedrich painting “Abbey in the Oakwood,” a group of monks carries a coffin through the snow into the crumbling ruins of a gothic abbey. Beyond the abbey, a grove of bald, gnarled oak trees basks in the dim sunlight. Death lingers, but not its fresh stench, only the sense of its infinitude. I still think of this beautiful, desolate painting every time I listen to 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s 2016 Savage Mode, arguably the greatest collaborative rapper-producer project of the last decade. Metro’s production—stark,...

Eurogamer’s Digital Foundry crew got their hands on a preview version of the Xbox Series X, and the tests that they’ve run so far reveal the console’s impressive backward compatibility capabilities.
There are quite a few things worth discussing in their preview, but we’d argue the most impressive results are found in the early frame-rate tests. Simply put, the Series X’s ability to produce 60 Fps gameplay in nearly every backward compatible title that was tested is, in many cases, shocking. While many of the better-optimized games available on Xbox One of course run smoother on Series X, the real story here is what the next-gen console can do for games that have traditionally not run well even on the nearly next-gen Xbox One X.
For instance, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Hitman 2 (two games which struggled to maintain 30 Fps speed on current-gen consoles...
