Kate Winslet’s new crime drama Mare Of Easttown premieres tonight on HBO Max. In the show, Angourie Rice (who you might recognize from Spider-Man: Far From Home and Miley Cyrus’ Black Mirror episode) plays Siobhan, the daughter of the titular Mare (played by Kate Winslet). Siobhan is a musician and in case the songs she’ll perform on the show sound familiar, that’s because they’re actually Mannequin Pussy’s.
The band’s lead singer Marisa Dabice shared the news on Twitter, writing “We can finally tell you that over a YEAR ago this HBO show got in touch b/c they wanted to use MP songs as the songs for the band in the TV show!” She also mentioned that because she was on tour in Europe and couldn’t coach Rice and the other cast members who form part of the fictional band on how to perform the songs, Japanese Breakfast’s Michelle Zauner stepped in to teach them “how to be a band.”
Dabice also explained that Rice recorded the music with the help of very in-demand producer Will Yip, who’s worked with Mannequin Pussy on their 2019 record, Patience, and their upcoming EP, Perfect. Looks like it’ll only be two songs, “Who You Are” and “In Love Again” off Patience, though Dabice also wrote that Perfect lead single ”Control” “has a little moment as well.”

Angourie Rice sounds like a menu item at a very white Cajun chain restaurant.
When you wanted to name your child Sigourney, but weren’t willing to commit. Or perhaps committed too much.
I would definitely eat something called Angry Rice. Popeye’s, get on it!
For awhile there was a trend of Chinese mall spots calling themselves Cajun because they served something called “bourbon chicken.” One in my city advertised “jamber lier rice.”

It’s a damn shame more people don’t recognize her as Ryan Gosling’s smartass daughter in The Nice Guys.
“Dad there’s like whores here and stuff.” “Sweetie, what did I tell you? Don’t say, ‘and stuff.’ Just say, ‘dad there are whores here.’”
That’s what I’ve seen her in. Also, The Beguiled.
Just rewatched that the other week. Basically a perfect movie.
And the award for utterly trivial bullshit presented as news goes to…Seriously. Tell me a funny anecdote about your cats. Or something cute about a squirrel you saw in the park. Or whatever crap you just bought from Amazon. Or some 90s show you really liked that no one else writes about. Fucking ANYTHING else.
The A.V. Club is covering the show, and you’re mad that they’re posting info about who actually performed the songs that can be heard in the show — the show that, again, they’re covering? But hey, a review of the first episode is up now, so that falls into your “fucking ANYTHING else” category.
didn’t read this image search angourie rice “colossal fucking bitch an even worse human being than Taylor Swift”(twat. fuck you and your scumbag pal Stephen Colbert who I noticed with pleasure will be dead soon) unfortunate resemblance to Kate McKinnon (CIA political officer who should be machine gunning her own troops and executing them with a pistol for betraying the motherland) Rosamund Pike (M15 sack of shit) Nigel Lawson (would be slave owning imperialist scum who almost makes Boris Johnson look good by comparison) that cocksucker who’s Prime Minister of Australia Nicole Kidman (peak Nicole Kidman from the slinky dress era mean slightly bonkers so good looking) Greta Scacchi (I like her she told everyone to go fuck themselves and quit) Charlize Theron (murderous I like her too. possibly very very mean. shrugs. whatever keeps you going) Margot “Suck my dick!” Robbie (ditto) Chiang Kai-shek (yeah I know I don’t know him either) the psychotic girl in Green Room the cage fighter in Babylon A.D. that painting of Elizabeth Bathory (‘Serial killer’ really? that’s a bit dismissive isn’t it? how about something nuanced like ‘unjustly politically maligned modern feminist icon and classist serial murderer of young proletarian women’) Ms. Rice you slightly inbred Australian Abo. picking the photograph that makes you look like Chloe Grace Moretz when she was a teenager a compliment if a little sad and that makes you look like the mean caricature of Jane Fonda from when she was young? rude
That has to be the worst band name since the Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo Review.
