Hello! Welcome to your daily roundup of what's going on in pop culture.
All that internet rivalry between "Venom"And"A Star Is Born"Culminated this weekend with record box office numbers for an October weekend. "Venom" took in about $ 80 million in North American tickets and "A Star" earned $ 41.3 million, proof that the Marvel superhero movie is a juggernaut that not even Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper's combined star power can match. Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm very happy for Tom Hardy.
What happened over the weekend?

In the news
What to read on your commute …
I love the Oxford English Dictionary, the one true dictionary, to which Dictionary.com is no match. In its latest update, the OED added more than 100 words related to films. This post on their blog is the subject of this article and is fascinating and thoughtful.
… And what to listen to
Alessia Cara's "Trust My Lonely" is "a chipper and curiously sweet assessment of a toxic relationship," writes Caramanica. As a Carly Rae Obsessive Jepsen, I am going for this mix of dark and light.
I can not stop thinking about …
The Guardian 's rundown of doppelgänger actors. Why is Hollywood so creepily obsessed with everyone looking the same? And do Matt Damon and Jesse Plemons really look alike?
