If you’ve clicked on this post, there are only two reasons why: you either want to know whether you should stick around at the end of Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes for a post-credits scene, or you’re not planning on seeing the movie and you want to know either way (in which case, just go see the movie). But we’re here to talk about what, if anything, happens after the final credits role on this Hunger Games prequel movie starring Rachel Zegler and Tom Blyth. So without further ado, let’s get in…

If you’re coming here because you’ve been personally victimized by Lessons in Chemistry (aka you sobbed hysterically into your popcorn and glass of wine while watching episodes 2 to 8), welcome. You’re not alone, and we’re here to help. Actually, we’re mostly here to talk to Lewis Pullman, who stars as Calvin Evans in the series that follows Brie Larson and Lewis as the titular chemists who fall in love but in a flew-too-close-to-the-sun kind of way before tragedy strikes. Lewis has the very-dif…

I don’t consider myself a sports girlie, but in the dark depths of the pandemic, like many other Americans, I got addicted to Netflix’s Drive to Survive. Formula 1 became a fun new hobby to obsess over, and my friends and I spent countless hours debating race strategies, ranking drivers based on hotness (yes, it’s a working/evolving Google Doc), and deep-diving on all the respective girlfriends of the grid. So when I got the opportunity to go to Las Vegas to experience the Las Vegas Grand Prix,…

Welcome to the Friday Night Phone Call series, where we conduct a cheeky, little-bit-flirty after-hours interview with a celebrity of our choosing and ask them all the hard-hitting questions, like “What are you wearing right now?” and “Candles, yea or nay?” Even more challenging? We do it all in 30 minutes. Thank us later.Listening to Tai Verdes (whose new single “Stars” came out today) is like getting a literal IV drip of sun-shine. These lyrics from “AOK” sum it up perfectly: “Living in this b…

Burt Reynolds’s 1972 centerfold in Cosmopolitan was, simply put, a major moment in pop culture. It was our magazine’s—any magazine’s—first time featuring a man in that kind of spread, and it cemented Burt’s status as one of America’s sexiest men. In homage, we’re launching the Cosmo Centerfold series, in which we take cheeky pics (and ask cheeky questions) of the hottest celebs of our time. To get the printable, hang-on-your-wall version, you’ll have to pick up an actual Cosmo to see it in the f…

About halfway through last night’s Grammy awards ceremony, I realized with absolute glee that I had barely heard a man (other than host Trevor Noah) talk the entire evening. Women had won every single category up to that point, and therefore, had been the only people to give televised acceptance speeches. I Slacked my colleagues, asking “How long do we think we can keep this up?” Turns out, the entire night. Shockingly, miraculously, all nine of the competitive awards given during the broadcast…

If you’re a nature show junkie (or honestly, even if you’re just a TV junkie), National Geographic’s Queens needs to be on your watch list. In a first for the genre, the show is shot entirely through the female lens, following the matriarchs and “queens” of the animal kingdom. And conveniently, it’s narrated by a queen herself, Angela Bassett. The series shows how matriarchs guide their communities to safety, ward off other animal threats, and basically run their worlds. I think there’s a Beyonc…

As a person who watches movies, you have probably definitely encountered the “magical negro” trope. But in case you need a quick definition, it is a role played by a Black actor (typically written by a white person) in which their sole function is to prop up the white lead and aid them on their spiritual or emotional journey. They have no interiority of their own, and most of the time they rarely even get a backstory. Basically, they are a prop. If you’ve read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn,…

If you’re looking for an instantly-iconic “be gay, do crime” movie, look no further than Love Lies Bleeding, the new film starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, Ed Harris, and Dave Franco. It follows Lou (Stewart) and Jackie (O’Brian), who meet in 1980s New Mexico and bond over Jackie’s dreams to participate in a bodybuilding competition. Everything is bliss for about .02 seconds. And then things go awry when Lou’s family history and conflicts get in the way. Think: murders, fight scenes, New M…

[There are major spoilers ahead for Shōgun episode nine. If you haven’t watched yet, bookmark this post for after you see it.] It’s only April, but unless you’re watching Shōgun, you’re already behind on the best show of the year. Based on the novel of the same name by James Clavell, it follows an English ship captain who ends up in Japan in the 1600s and quickly realizes 1) just how much of a fish out of water he is 2) that he has inadvertently stepped into a society preparing for war, and he w…

It is time for me to speak my truth: I have been haunted by the movie Challengers since I saw it in February. Specifically, the scene where Zendaya’s character, Tashi Duncan, blows out her knee in the middle of a college tennis match. I am ready to talk about my almost-harrowing experience seeing this otherwise incredible movie. Please, gather ’round and heed my warning. For those who have not been on the internet recently, Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers follows three tennis players named Tashi,…
