Disney+ Adapts Jilly Cooper's Rivals Novel

The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, known for their chaotic energy and unique sound blending psychobilly and punk, left a lasting impact with their early albums, particularly 2002's 'Hörse Of The Dög'. Frontman Guy McKnight reflects on his tumultuous past, including struggles with addiction and mental health, which he attributes to his upbringing and experiences with Buddhism. In entertainment news, a ranked list of the best stoner comedies highlights classics like 'Up in Smoke' and 'Half Baked', celebrating their cultural significance and humor. Meanwhile, the upcoming Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper's 'Rivals' revives interest in the 'bonkbuster' genre, characterized by its over-the-top narratives and sexual themes. This genre, though once dismissed, is gaining recognition for its influence on women's writing in the 1980s. As adaptations like 'Rivals' bring back the genre's flair, they prompt discussions on the evolving perceptions of women’s literature and its place in modern culture.
