Welcome to The List,
Ryan Reynolds is once again suiting up in red spandex. He’s reportedly focusing on a fourth Deadpool movie. A spokesperson says doing one more gives Ryan a chance to stay in the role fans love most. Which tracks, because sarcasm, fourth wall jokes, and chimichangas are basically his full personality now. Deadpool four. Same chaos, bigger paycheck.

Country music got completely shut out of the Grammys’ biggest categories this year. No Best Album, Best Song, Best Record, or Best New Artist. The Recording Academy says it’s all about how voters vote, not controlling outcomes. Still funny though, since so much country lately has been chasing pop. Turns out pop did not RSVP yes.

Fans have been watching a mystery countdown on Ella Langley’s website all week, and now the secret’s out. Her sophomore album Dandelion is coming. It includes her hit “Choosin’ Texas,” co-written with Miranda Lambert. Miranda also co-produced the entire album. Add a tour with Eric Church and Morgan Wallen, and yeah, Ella’s having a moment.

Netflix’s animated hit K-Pop Demon Hunters is officially becoming a toy franchise. Hasbro and Mattel are rolling out dolls, action figures, board games, and collectibles. Because nothing says childhood like demon-slaying pop stars who can save the world and drop a single before bedtime.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoon at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
