Euphoria on HBO Max. Euphoria’s Christmas special could’ve been lightweight, a stopgap to keep the fans fed and the show refreshed in the minds of short-attention span streamers.

But what strikes me as hilarious about that scene is that—we were talking about the specific corner that Eric occupies, right? So we’re only used to seeing your character in one way.

In the pits of quarantine, Stephen Bruner, the madcap maestro bassist known as Thundercat, thought he was going to spend a whole year on the couch. The tour surrounding his new album, It Is What It Is, a jazz-pop masterclass written in the wake of his friend Mac Miller’s untimely passing, was canceled. The future
“These Arms of Mine,” by Otis Redding. It all started with a series of calls, texts, and FaceTimes when my father turned 70. “What is a song that never gets old?” I asked him. “These Arms of Mine,” he replied without a second thought from California: “The whole album always makes me cry.” Soon enough,

Earlier this week, an audio clip leaked from the London set of Mission: Impossible 7 of Tom Cruise screaming at the crew for violating COVID-19 protocols. “We are the gold standard!” he yells. “They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. Because they believe in us and what we’re doing.” It’s
E-40: Hell yeah––he was a nigga spitting straight shit that I could relate to during my becoming-man-ish phase. I was an observer of the game, that fly on the wall who would talk to the OGs. I was comedy too at the same time; I had a sneaky comedy to me. [But] your life starts
I think [we wanted] to show her as a woman of accomplishment. That’s her tent show that she’s traveling in. She is the boss of that. She has a strong connection with the audience. You see it in the very beginning: people are lined up and it’s Black hands putting coins into other Black hands.
Everyone’s home is different, so everyone’s favorite chocolate chip cookie is different, too. Chloe and I practically started with a cookie. We met while studying abroad in London. On our first day there, I’d walked to an outpost of Ben’s Cookies, a local chain of biscuit makers. I returned to the flat I shared with
When I heard the news that New York was going to be hit with its first major snowstorm of the season, one that could result in over a foot of snow and potentially knock out the power, I prepared in the most pragmatic, survival-minded way possible: I pulled out my Lord of the Rings extended

For the end title, yeah. I just felt like we could justify what you’ve just seen. I wanted to hear a new voice. Just out of curiosity—was Chris familiar with Travis Scott’s music, or did you have to explain that a little bit? I’m pretty sure he was familiar with him. I didn’t ask. But
When Michael Mann’s Heat arrived in the waning days of 1995, audiences came for a showdown between two acting titans and walked away having watched a reinvention of the heist genre. Bigger, more sprawling, and more ambitious than the competition, Heat layered multiple subplots and fringe characters into its tale of a master thief hunted
One night, when he was 15 years old, Gerard Butler dreamed about the movie Krull. The 1983 science-fiction saga, which he calls “a cheap version of Lord of the Rings,” earned poor reviews and flopped at the box office. But its ambitious, anachronistic fantasy—about a valiant prince leading his army against an evil creature—made a
But Harlow can also be reflective about his flaws (he’s been seeing a therapist recently). He recounts running into someone he used to sleep with at a party for over two-and-a-half minutes on “Funny Seeing You Here,” an X-ray of early-twenties awkwardness that culminates with Harlow’s admission that, as a romantic partner, he can fall
