The List for Monday, July 25th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Big news over the weekend was Comic Con and all things Marvel themed..and Walking Dead news…cosplay…with highlights this year centering around the  announcement of two new “Avengers” movies, the trailer for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”, and news on Rick Grimes’ future in the “Walking Dead” universe.

Carrie Underwood shared an awesome “How it started – How it’s going” last Friday.  It begins with a throwback clip of herself as a kid singing the Patty Loveless 1993 hit “Blame It On Your Heart”.  Then it cuts to a grown-up Carrie doing the same song on the Grand Ole Opry.  It was a preview of her performance on Saturday’s “Opry Loves the ’90s”, which also featured Jimmie Allen, Cody Johnson, Keith Urban, Lainey Wilson, and Chris Young.

Actual drama on the Production set of FX’s “Justified”.  Filming was halted when two cars crashed onto the Chicago set, with the occupants SHOOTING at each other.  Justified: City Primeval was filming Wednesday night in Douglass Park on the city’s West Side when the two vehicles broke through the perimeter. No cast or crewmembers were hurt; star Timothy Olyphant was among those at the location.  Filming is slated to resume this week.

Luke Bryan was performing in Bristow, Virginia last Thursday, and he noticed a sign that said, “Luke, Strip it down for Grandma’s 85th Birthday.”  So rather than take it LITERALLY . . . he went over to grandma and serenaded her with a little of his 2015 song, “Strip It Down….

Fun news from the ‘House Of Mouse’ – Disney+ continues its experimentation with new versions of Moana, Encanto and several other hit musical movies. Last week, the streamer announced new “Sing-Along versions” of its classic movies so that fans can have a karaoke-style watch party. The first of these movies was released back in March, and two more were released on Friday, July 22. Several more will follow next month.

The Sing-Along versions of Moana and The Little Mermaid are streaming now on Disney+, and 2019 remake of The Lion King is coming on Friday, Aug. 5. These new versions show the lyrics on screen like a karaoke machine, inviting the audience to sing along to their favorite songs.

Kelsea Ballerini’s new album, “Subject to Change“, drops September 23rd . . . and she’ll be promoting it with a tour that launches the next day.  The “Heartfirst Tour” will kick-off September 24th in New York City, and wrap October 14th Mashantucket, Connecticut.

The List for Tuesday, February 17th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

-----

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.

-----

Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.

-----

Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”

You can catch The List weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
