WAR DAMN EAGLE BABY

Austin Abrams is on the edge. Not literally—although he is barefoot and cross-legged at the front of a sofa for most of our Zoom call—but metaphorically, given the stakes of this moment in his acting career. I profiled Austin Abrams for LOFFICIEL USA: www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/aust...

Buried lede on VISIONQUEST is that Diane Morgan’s in the show, more or less playing Philomena Cunk.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING or “you don’t have to believe in magic, leave it to me and I’ll make it happen” the movie. Like ten different incredible things that I can’t believed happened in isolation, let alone in a film. Did the guy sitting up meme like five times. Believe the hype.

INBOX: CRAZY RICH ASIANS returns…as a new HBO series.

Guy who’s only experience with NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is through Freddy being in Fortnite

THE SOCIAL RECKONING: Not awful as a journalistic thriller—and then the rest of the movie happens. Fine, I guess, as a supersized version of THE NEWSROOM. As a follow up to one of the best movies of the last decade? Pretty awful! Self-indulgent Sorkin at his worst. Mikey innocent

“But sometimes a reimagining—or better yet, a remix—is needed to make something old feel fresh. By grounding itself in the “dirt” of legacy and self-reliance, Lanterns set the genre alight again.” Me on the LANTERNS finale for @gqmagazine.bsky.social: www.gq.com/story/lanter...

Aces, baby!

Fuck Ohio State. All my homies hate Ohio State.

For @gqmagazine.bsky.social, I had an expansive chat with Tom King about how he created LANTERNS, casting Chandler & Pierre, John Mulaney (it makes sense, trust me), and that major reveal at the end of the premiere. Spoilers at the link: www.gq.com/story/tom-ki...

I only got about half the season of LANTERNS tied to some pre-release coverage (come back on Sunday for that) but what’s worth watching about the show is how good the performances are across the board but especially how kinetic Chandler and Pierre are *together*

For Men’s Health, I spoke with James Norton about the fiery, bloody, and stellar #hotd season finale. Spoiler alert! www.menshealth.com/entertainmen...

Hear ye, hear ye! I have a bold proclamation to make over on GQ: Between a stellar third season of HOT D and a wonderful debut for AKOTSK, the THRONES franchise has never been *more* back: www.gq.com/story/how-ho...

Free costume idea: John Wilkes Cliff Booth

i can’t stop laughing at this

President Obama once delivered a speech in an open field for four hours during a thunderstorm while leaning against a very tall, pointy metal pole. President Trump should do the same, but for six hours, to demonstrate his strength.

Still proud of the JACKASS stunt rankings I did for GQ a few years back alongside the social media-less Kevin Hall: www.gq.com/story/jackas...

Offsides 🤝 an NFL catch Don’t understand how it’s officiated

This is a big one. For Men’s Health, I profiled (my first!) writer Tom King ahead of a tremendously busy summer: dub.sh/h16HN5F

SUPERGIRL: Milly Alcock innocent! Otherwise, I think this one has some real script issues that are worsened under a visual style that’s pretty derivative.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON returns with some of its some issues (supporting characters I can’t be too bothered to care about) but also an extreme confidence in committing to the brutality of its story. In short, I’m pretty high on what I’ve seen so far: dub.sh/NW0OjR7

I thought the world cup was going to be a nightmare, but I forgot that we actually love when people like us

Spurs overachieved all season long but what’s going to haunt me the most is that we absolutely could have won this series. I hope to god we’re back here next year - but nothing promised.

Poorly. You process it extremely, extremely poorly.

Congrats Dylan Harper on claiming the mantle of “He’s only 19”

Dylan Harper should not sit the rest of this game

I’m furious.

Pulisic looks like an honest-to-god superstar. He’s controlling everything.

Gonna throw up I think.

The Knicks are shooting terribly and have no offensive rhythm and the Spurs have hit every shot but I blame the refs for everything

For Men’s Health, I wrote about going to Game 1 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio to see the Spurs play, Wemby, OBSESSION the movie, obsession the feeling, big wishes, and more: www.menshealth.com/entertainmen...

Waiting on the Air Corgi Finals pick

In the seven years between STAR WARS films, we’ve heard of more canceled or unreleased projects than there have been theatrical releases. For GQ, I broke down fact and fiction between what’s coming, what’s in development, and what’s DOA for the franchise: www.gq.com/story/every-...

About to have a spiritual experience

Spurs win
