Watching The Bear is guaranteed to make you ravenous—especially if you’re into close-up shots of extremely Chicago-coded meats and breads—but once I’d caught up on the show’s third season this weekend, I found myself hungry for something inedible: namely, more shows about camaraderie forged in the fire of a tumultuous workplace. They didn’t even need … Read more
If there are two words which could sum up society’s version of officially bottoming out, it would have to be “Hawk Tuah,” the latest viral catchphrase in the dumpster fire that is otherwise known as the internet. If you’ve managed the impossible and haven’t heard about Hawk Tuah girl, congratulations for not sliding into the … Read more
I love a good historical adaptation (actually, if it’s beautiful and fun enough, I’ve even been known to appreciate a bad historical adaptation, i.e. Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette), so naturally, I was more than ready when I read that My Lady Jane, a historical fantasy-slash-romance series about Lady Jane Grey, was in the works. The … Read more
Bring a battery pack for charging your phone (there are Vodafone charging points on site, but it’s good to have one for emergencies), and take some cash in case the card machines at the bars fail—the queues for cash points are long. Don’t bring lots of food and booze. Decant spirits into plastic water bottles … Read more
The collaboration opened up a Pandora’s Box of sorts. Had Lorde owed Charli an explanation for their dynamic? And how much personal information does an artist owe the public? Has this beef—if that’s even what it was—been one big marketing plan from the jump? Two of Vogue’s staff writers, Emma Specter and Hannah Jackson, convened … Read more
One scene in America’s Sweethearts finds a fifth-year veteran candidate named Kelcey meal-prepping chicken and potatoes for her busy week ahead—a routine that seems pretty familiar and normal until we learn that Kelcey is a nurse who works from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. every day, then reports to what she calls her “part-time job” … Read more
The 77th Annual Tony Awards weren’t short on noteworthy moments, nor did they skimp on fashion. (I’m as obsessed with Jocelyn Bioh’s purple look as I am with Jeremy Strong’s little mustache, albeit in entirely different ways.) Not only were fan-favorite shows including Appropriate, Stereophonic, Suffs, Merrily We Roll Along, and Hell’s Kitchen honored, but … Read more
I am a 39-year-old married woman with a child, and when my toilet wouldn’t stop flushing recently, I immediately called my dad. A lot is written about the role of fathers (I’m up to two novels and counting), and unsurprisingly so. More than almost any other area of our social fabric, the way men interact … Read more
Like any good millennial, I’m waiting patiently for the next season of And Just Like That… to drop on Max so that I can devour each episode like a five-course feast of inanity, talk about it obsessively with my coworkers on Slack, and ultimately disavow the show when anyone asks if I actually like it. … Read more
Listen, I want my (okay, fine, Sabrina Carpenter’s) tiny, handsome boyfriend Barry Keoghan to stay booked and busy as much as the next Banshees of Inisherin stan. However, I think I have to draw a tenuous personal line in the sand at seeing him in filmmaker Sam Mendes’s series of four interconnected biopics following each … Read more
