Musicians Sting and Shaggy will both debut new music on Animal Talking, the live-streamed talk show hosted from Animal Crossing by Rogue One writer Gary Whitta.

Whitta made the announcement on Twitter and during his wrap-up of season one of the show, which aired Friday morning.

Shaggy, the reggae artist known for hits like “It Wasn’t Me” and “Angel,” is scheduled to join the show for the debut of its second season on June 1 to perform new music he is currently working on, Whitta said.

Sting, the former frontman for The Police and a solo act since the mid-80’s, will be joining Animal Talking on June 8 to similarly debut new music. “It’s pretty nutty, and I’m excited about where we’re going to be going,” Whitta said on the show. Whitta didn't give any major details beyond those dates, so make sure to keep an eye on his Twitter feed for details.

The two legendary musicians join an increasingly star-studded guestlist on Animal Talking. Season one of Whitta’s show has already included film stars like Elijah Wood, Danny Trejo, and other musicians like T-Pain. The show has also featured some familiar faces from the video game industry, like Double Fine’s Tim Schaefer, Cliff Bleszinski, and Naomi Kyle.

Whitta hosts the show alongside band leader and game developer Adam Nickerson.

Back to the Future Part II has been restored on Netflix in the USA after a marginally censored version of the movie originally made for a different country was sent to the streamer. Bob Gale, the film's screenwriter and producer, told The Hollywood Reporter that a fan alerted him to the error a couple of weeks ago. The scene where Marty McFly finds the "Oh Là Là" magazine in the sports almanac was cut short so that the magazine cover wasn't seen. Gale got in touch with Universal Pictures to fix the problem and points the finger at them. "The blame is on Universal who somehow furnished Netflix an edited version of the movie," Gale said. "I learned about it some ten days ago from an eagle-eyed fan, and had the studio rectify the error. The version now running is the uncensored, unedited, original version." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/04/23/back-to-the-future-screenwriter-reveals-answer-to-infamous-marty-mcfly-plot-hole"] Gale said that he and the film's director, Robert Zemeckis, didn't know this version of the movie existed and is requesting Universal to delete the censored copy for good. "Apparently, this was a foreign version which neither director Robert Zemeckis nor I even knew existed, for some country that had a problem with the Oh Là Là magazine cover.  I asked that the studio destroy this version," Gale told THR. "FYI, Netflix does not edit films — they only run the versions that are supplied to them.  So they're blameless.  You can direct your ire at Universal, but I think they will be a lot more careful in the future — and with 'the future.'" This comes about a month after Disney+ was caught censoring nudity in Splash, a PG-rated movie from 1984. That movie at least comes with a message at the beginning that claims the movie "has been edited for content." Back to the Future Part II had no message, but has since been fixed. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-best-sci-fi-movies-on-netflix&captions=true"] A Twitter user shared the Netflix edit for anybody who is curious, but falsely assumed it was Netflix who did the editing. The first two Back to the Future movies became available for streaming on Netflix in the USA on May 1. All three Back to the Future movies are now streaming on the service and will receive a 4K Ultra HD release later this year. Gale recently explained the ending to the original Back to the Future movie for James Gunn and showed up to the Back to the Future virtual reunion on Josh Gad's YouTube series for charity.

Snag three new Golden Keys with this Shift Code, valid until May 24.

Captain Price, the famously mustachioed protagonist of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, could potentially be a new operator in season four of the game’s multiplayer if some teasers are to be believed.

First reported by Eurogamer, the teasers began with a message from the Call of Duty app, saying some sort of meeting would be taking place on May 21. That day, Activision sent out an email linking fans to a page on the Call of Duty website that included a mysterious video.

 The video shows off a few familiar Call of Duty voices (one sounds like the CIA’s Kate Laswell, who handles player character Alex), a few gruff Russians, and one very obvious picture of Captain Price, complete with his fishing hat.

It’s a pretty obvious teaser that Price, who is referenced in the video as a “senior operator,” will have some role to play in the near future. With season four expected to start on June 2, that would certainly follow the trend of teasing past operators like the reworked Ghost and Alex for seasons two and three. Both of those operators were purchasable via the battle pass, with alternate skins available as high tier rewards for finishing the battle pass.

[widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-2020-video-game-release&captions=true"]

Thanks to Modern Warfare’s success, Call of Duty has also become the fourth fastest-selling release in recorded US history, and followed only Final Fantasy 7 Remake for the highest-selling game in April 2020. Call of Duty 2020 is also reportedly still releasing this year, despite possible complications stemming from COVID-19.

Hollywood is looking at ways to protect their employees and secure their sets from the coronavirus once film and TV productions resume, with "germ-zapping robots" being one means reportedly under consideration by some studios and networks. Lab-certified disinfecting robots -- some of which are already in use at more than 500 hospitals worldwide-- would use ultraviolet light to eliminate the virus SARS-CoV-2 from sets. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-12-greatest-giant-robots-ever&captions=true"] One production that's already expressed "serious interest" in Xenex Disinfection Services' "Xenex Germ-Zapping Robot" is the CBS television series Blue Bloods. According to The Hollywood Reporter, testing results show "the robot was able to deactivate 99.99 percent of the novel coronavirus in two minutes with its LightStrike technology." The fast-working robots -- which THR says "can be rented on a per-month basis or purchased for roughly $125,000" -- are said to be able to disinfect dozens of rooms per day. (Hollywood sets are still cleaned the old-fashioned way, by people with mops and brooms.) THR breaks down how the robots would work on set like this:

"A trained individual places it in a designated area, turns it on and then exits the room for the next five minutes while the device generates bursts of high-intensity, full germicidal spectrum UVC light (more intense than sunlight.) Though a few seconds of human exposure to the light is within all of the safety thresholds ... there can be damage to the eyes after prolonged exposure, which is why it’s important to not be in the same room when the device is running."

Productions would also be expected to work with labor unions in order to have a human be in charge of the robot, even though the machines can navigate on their own.
