Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) is a mockumentary music comedy you can watch online on iFILM. It follows Conner4Real, a rap-pop superstar convinced the whole machine runs on him alone.

Conner came up in the boy-band trio The Style Boyz with two childhood friends. Fame went to his head: one bandmate stopped speaking to him, the other now spins records as his hype-DJ. His inner circle shrank to a manager, party guests, and yes-men. Then his big solo album drops, flops hard, and the entire inflated celebrity life starts coming apart. He'll try anything to claw back relevance — anything except reuniting the group that made him.

The Lonely Island made it: Andy Samberg stars while Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer direct. The fake-pop songs are the real draw, dumb and catchy and dead-on as parody. Sarah Silverman, Maya Rudolph, and cameos from Usher, Nas, and 50 Cent fill out the world. It's a sharp, genuinely funny takedown of fame culture that lands harder than its goofy surface suggests.
