What a difference a year makes. Last January, I received an email out of the blue from none other than Sujata Day, who I’d known of initially from her work with Issa Rae. At the time, I wasn’t aware that her feature-length directorial debut, Definition Please, had been killing it on the festival circuit for a […]
Calling all Twerk Team wannabes—here’s what we know: Twerking, a portmanteau word of twist and jerk, has infiltrated nearly every aspect of music culture. But it’s nothing new. Songs encouraging (or demanding) one to twerk have been around more than two decades, and while we can argue that one can twerk to literally anything—D’Angelo, Juvenile, […]
Joss Whedon’s recent profile in New York Magazine’s Vulture has rehashed the controversies the famed director has been facing the past few years. Whedon was known and well respected for his work writing and directing shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and movies like Marvel’s The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron. It all came […]
Virgil Abloh’s last outing for Louis Vuitton was his eighth show. That number took on a deeper meaning in light of his death last year. The number eight, on its side, is the infinity symbol, which is defined as “a concept describing something endless, larger than any number.” Abloh’s fall 2022 Louis Vuitton collection was […]
It’s another strong week in music releases. Gunna finally dropped his collaboration with Drake, “P Power,” which was previously delayed. Earl Sweatshirt dropped his new project, SICK!, featuring the standout track “Fire in the Hole.” Cordae recruited Freddie Gibbs and Stevie Wonder for “Champagne Glasses” off his sophomore album From a Bird’s Eye View. This week’s list […]
If we’re being honest, we were hoping we’d be further out of the COVID-19 pandemic than we are currently. Things are trending in a weird direction, making it hard to believe that some of these release dates won’t move. That said, if you’ve hit the cinema during the pandemic, it’s not like they aren’t moving. […]
I usually like to start these things with an anecdote, ideally gleaned from being in the building and seeing something or hearing something or asking something that sets the stage for the next 1,000 words. But like a lot of people Tuesday night, I was home, watching the Grizzlies and Warriors, witnessing another scintillating Ja […]
Eager to start adding to your wardrobe in 2022? We are just a few weeks into the new year, but there already is a ton of great drops to consider if you are in search of the perfect layering piece, some new boots to weather the harsh weather, or want to get a jump start […]
Get hyped all you want that your squad’s in the dance, one of 14 teams that ended up being good enough to qualify for the NFL playoffs and, should they win enough games, potentially earns a chance to attain immortality in Super Bowl LVI. But I’m here to throw cold water on your good vibes […]
It’s January 2022–a brand new year–but in a very real way, it feels like January 2021. The COVID rates are spiking, again. We’re going into lockdown mode, again. And we’re canceling our plans, again. It’s time again for activities that let us socialize, at a safe distance. 2021 was a banner year for video games’ […]
