Next week will be drizzled with a dystopian killing game, gore and gravy, and a country star’s stab at rock and roll.

“Rockstar”

Country icon Dolly Parton is set to release her 49th studio album, “Rockstar,” on Nov. 17. 

The tracklist will contain 30 songs and has features of just about every artist and musician in history. The album is occupied by cover songs and features singers such as Sting, Stevie Nicks, Lizzo, Miley Cyrus, Elton John and so much more. 

What’s different about this album is that it will be her first rock and roll album, a different genre than what Parton usually sings in. Parton is already a killer singer who can do just about any type of music, so it’s exciting to see something new from such an iconic artist 

Her music can be listened to on any music streaming platform. 

“The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes”

Return to Panem and the districts decades before the events of “The Hunger Games” in its prequel film “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” on Nov. 17. 

The movie has a classic villain origin story with 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), a troubled character that slowly turns evil by the end. 

Based on the book of the same name by Suzanne Collins, the story will delve into human nature and what it means to be inherently good. Unlike Katniss, a hunter and main character in “The Hunger Games” franchise, Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) will be participating in the Games as a singer. This stark difference between the two female main characters will show what happens when you place a performer in a hunt, different from when a hunter was placed in a performance. 

“Thanksgiving”

It’s never too late for horror films, and “Thanksgiving” stuffs the food-filled holiday with blood and murder. 

Taking place in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a killing spree begins on Thanksgiving, targeting the townspeople. Looking at the movie poster, the killer appears to wear a black hat, similar to how pilgrims dressed in Plymouth in the 17th century, while wielding an axe. 

Starring Rick Hoffman and Patrick Dempsey, the film’s tagline is “There will be no leftovers.” The film will be an interesting watch given its cast and nefarious plotline. The trailer is available on YouTube, and the movie releases in theaters Nov. 17.
