The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026 inductees were announced Monday, during a live, Rock Hall-themed American Idol episode mentored by 2022 Hall of Famers Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo.

The chairman of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group has used profanities more than once when taking aim at the perceived enemies of the theatrical experience who make it far too easy for consumers to watch a movie at home. “Netflix, my ass,” is one of his more notorious quips.
