Popcast (Deluxe): Did Dua Lipa Flop? + Miserable Pop Music Films

This week’s episode of Popcast (Deluxe), the weekly tradition roundup present on YouTube hosted by Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli, contains dialogue of:

• The imperfect rollout of Dua Lipa’s newest album, “Radical Optimism,” and the way the narrative round it turned poisoned earlier than it was even launched

• Dua Lipa’s profession of easy and frictionless pop

• The present pop market favoring eccentricity, humor and meme-ability

• What it can take for Dua Lipa to interrupt freed from her cycle

• The wrestle of constructing motion pictures about pop music, together with “Back to Black,” the brand new biopic about Amy Winehouse and “The Idea of You,” a few divorced girl who falls for an ageing boy band star

• Snack of the week
