Oasis documentary to screen in theaters before streaming on Disney+ and Hulu

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

The Oasis documentary has a theatrical premiere date and a streaming home.

The currently untitled film, which chronicles the “Wonderwall” band’s massive 2025 reunion tour, will screen in IMAX and cinemas worldwide on Sept. 11. It will then come to Disney+ and Hulu later in 2026 in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally.

Oasis’ tour marked the band’s first live shows in 16 years and officially ended the long-running and public feud between the formerly estranged brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher. It included sold-out shows at stadiums around the world, including London’s Wembley Stadium and MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“I genuinely cannot wait for the world to see this film,” says doc creator and producer Steven Knight in a statement. “I believe it captures the spirit and emotion of a global cultural moment and does justice to the wit and genius of two exceptional people.”

“I wanted to tell the story of the brothers and the band, but just as important, the story of the fans whose lives the music has touched and sometimes changed forever,” Knight continues. “It is also the story of how music and songwriting can unite generations, cultures, countries and in a time of spite and division, give us all some reason to hope.”

Meanwhile, Oasis will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of its 2026 class. The induction ceremony will take place Nov. 14 in Los Angeles and will air on ABC and Disney+ in December.

Disney is the parent company of Hulu and ABC News.

Other celebrities at the party, held at a pub called The Hart, included Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, the daughters of Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew.

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Slipknot percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan has shared in an interview with producer Rick Rubin’s Tetragrammaton podcast that he needs to undergo heart surgery.

“I have a skipping heart and I got to get a surgery,” Clown, 56, tells Rubin. “I found this out after my last tour.”

Clown says that when he went to see a doctor, “They thought I was having a heart attack right there.”

“I’ll go from ‘on’ to just straight up, I feel like I’m dying,” he says. “So I got to get a surgery.”

Clown adds that the operation is a “very easy surgery” and that “you’re usually out on the same day.” He also says that at first he thought he might have to get a pacemaker, which made him worried that he wouldn’t be able to continue to tour.

“[The doctor] goes, ‘Oh, no, you’re going to feel better,'” Clown says.

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Brendan Fraser is ready to return to the world of The Mummy.

The actor spoke about the upcoming fourth installment in the film franchise while guesting on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Thursday.

“Well, we’re gonna get the band back together,” Fraser said. “The only way to do it. So, we are going to give the audience what they have been bothering all of us for, for the last 20-whatever years.”

Fraser said he’s been hoping another movie in the franchise would get made for a long time.

“I was hopeful for a long while, and then I was like, ‘I don’t know if they are.’ Then other Mummy movies got made. But listen, what we’re gonna do is saddle back up, go back to the locations — I should probably stop talking like this, because I don’t want to give everything away,” he said.

The actor continued, asking fans of the franchise to “please wish me luck.”

“I’m doing my best to get this 57-year-old gear in shape,” he said.

Fraser will reprise his role of Rick O’Connell in The Mummy 4, which is set for a theatrical release on Oct. 15, 2027.

DOJ seeks to denaturalize former diplomat convicted of spying for Cuba

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — The Justice Department is seeking to denaturalize a former diplomat who was caught spying for the Cuban government.

For nearly 40 years, Manuel Rocha acted as a spy for the Cuban government under the guise of being a U.S. diplomat, according to the Justice Department.

Rocha is a native of Colombia, but became a “great friend” of the Cuban government. The lawsuit filed by the Justice Department in the Southern District of Florida alleges that he lied on his naturalization paperwork when he filed it in the late 1970’s.

“Under no circumstances should an agent of a foreign adversary be permitted to hold the title of American citizen,” Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate said in a statement. “Our mission is clear: to root out these fraudsters and preserve the sanctity of the naturalization process for those who adhere to our laws. Any individual who lied during the naturalization process to gain a foothold in this country will be met with the full weight of the Department of Justice.”

He had worked at the State Department and held various leadership posts since the early 1980’s, according to the Justice Department. All of that unraveled when he was caught on video outlining all of his crimes to an undercover agent in 2022.

“Rocha celebrated his activities on behalf of the DGI and against the United States’ interests, and explained why and how he continued to preserve the secrecy of those activities,” according to court records unsealed in 2023.

He was sentenced to 15 years behind bars.

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason A. Reding Quiñones said that Rocha was not a “low level operative” but rather “a senior government official who admitted he secretly served the Cuban regime for decades.”

Pentagon begins release of decades of unresolved UFO files

May 8, 2026 by WDNY Radio

(WASHINGTON) — The Pentagon on Friday began to release declassified unidentified flying objects (UFO) files from various federal agencies, some dating as far back as the late 1940s.

The release is in keeping with President Donald Trump’s announcement earlier this year that he directing agencies to make public files related to UFOs, unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) and “extraterrestrial life.”

The documents, which the Pentagon said includes “never-before-seen” files, are being posted on a new government website.

“The American people can now access the federal government’s declassified UAP files instantly. The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place — no clearance required,” the Pentagon said in a statement.

The department said it will release more files “on a rolling basis.”

There are some redactions in the files, but this is the first time ever that complete case files have been released. In recent years, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has been reviewing these historic documents and has released public summaries and reviews to the public.

So far, none of their reviews have found anything that has led them to conclude that UFOs or UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.
