There’s nothing better than a beautifully written, well-narrated audiobook. Whether I’m trying to learn about a moment in history or simply relax, audiobooks have become one of my go-to methods of reading. And when it comes to Black historical audiobooks, there is a wide and wonderful world to choose from. I’m looking for two things when I pick out audiobooks: an interesting, well-written book and a narrator who can do it justice. In fact, good audiobook narrators do much more than that. They can bring a story to life. Their accents and intonation, the emotion they add to the telling…
“It didn’t really start as a story about family dysfunction and such. In the beginning, I was wondering about family life and parenting in general and if the way we think about it would ever really change.” In an interview with Pamela Jahn of Electric Sheep Magazine, Yorgos Lanthimos muses on his initial thought process behind the creation of his acclaimed 2009 absurdist family drama Dogtooth. In the above quote, the director who would come to be known to English-speaking audiences through hilariously nightmarish features like The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Poor Things, and the upcoming Kinds…
Margot Robbie has found many ways to make a name for herself within the entertainment industry. Last year, she starred in hit movies, including Barbie, which crushed at the box office as part of the Barbenheimer craze. She also has her own production company, LuckyChap Entertainment, which she runs alongside her husband, Tom Ackerley, and others. Now, following the footsteps of fellow A-listers like George Clooney, The Rock, and Ryan Reynolds, the Aussie actress will also dive into the alcohol game. And, so far, she finds working within the business to be “easier than selling a movie.”The Academy Award nominee…
Rep. Ronny Jackson, who served as Donald Trump‘s White House physician, recklessly speculated that President Joe Biden is using drugs to stay ‘alert’ and to help him ‘perform’ in the upcoming presidential debate. “I’m going to be demanding on behalf of many millions of concerned Americans right now that [Biden] submit to a drug test before and after this debate specifically looking for performance-enhancing drugs,” Jackson said.

Ronny Jackson announces on Maria Bartiromo’s show that he’s writing a letter to the White House demanding that Biden submit to a drug test for performance enhancing drugs before the debate pic.twitter.com/eRD02jXKSc—…

His former recording studio and guest house have been renovated and updated into a primary residence that sits on…
Two decades later, fans still love quoting Napoleon Dynamite to Jon Heder. “The tots line is actually the one that gets yelled to me the most,” the actor—who portrayed the titular character in the 2004 cult film—recently told E! News, “which I will accept.” (ICYMI, that would be, “Napoleon, give me some of your tots.”) Indeed, the Napoleon Dynamite fandom is so strong, even Heder’s young kids have joined in on the fun. “They’re very aware of the craze,” the dad of four shared. “My daughter actually enjoys it. She’s 7. She’s like, ‘Oh, can we watch clips from the movie?'” His 10-year-old son, on the…
Amazon Picks Its Best Books of the Year So FarAmazon released its list of the best books of the year so far, including their #1 pick of the year, James by Percival Everett. This is confirms for me that James is the Book of the Year (so far), and I think likely to be the book of the year by the time we flip the calendar to 2026. It already had the most mentions in mid-year best of lists in my breakdown of ten lists that had already appeared. Everett had a lot of latent love from the kind of folks who care about literary…
Director Joshua John Miller has a distinctly personal perspective on William Friedkin’s seminal horror classic The Exorcist: his father, Jason Miller, played the reluctant protagonist Father Karras. Yet, seeing his father die on screen in a horror movie isn’t the sole source of inspiration behind The Exorcism, an ambitious, personal piece of meta-horror. Miller and co-writer/partner M.A. Fortin (The Final Girls) channel their rage and experiences with grief into a family psychological drama, one that uses possession horror as connective tissue. However, combining personal family drama with scathing critiques of the Church and Hollywood ultimately means that The Exorcism struggles…
When you think about Norman Reedus, the first show that likely pops into your head is The Walking Dead. The actor has been playing Daryl Dixon within that franchise since 2010, and he’s still going strong as the character in the critically acclaimed The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. So, it makes sense that when he takes roles in other projects, he wants to look totally different. Recently, we learned about how that came into play in his film on the 2024 movie schedule, The Bikeriders, and why his legendary character impacted his filthy look in Jeff Nichols’ film.The Bikeriders director,…
Donald Trump continued his stump on the campaign trail on Saturday ahead of his rematch with President Joe Biden in the first presidential debate of 2024 scheduled for Thursday. Trump hit his usual marks, from attacking migrants and border complaints to touting his role in erasing women’s reproductive rights by appointing Supreme Court justices who ended the federal right to abortion access, and some other truly wild stuff in between. The two candidates have taken different approaches in the lead-up to their upcoming debate. Biden has reportedly been at Camp David with his senior campaign aides preparing for the debate.…
Toomaj Salehi, the dissident Iranian rapper sentenced to death in April for releasing music critical of the country’s government, had the punishment overturned Saturday and will face retrial. Salehi’s lawyer Amir Raesian wrote on social media (via the Guardian), “As expected, the Supreme Court avoided an irreparable judicial error,” and that the supreme court “reiterated that even the previous prison sentence (6 years and three months) did not comply with the rules of multiplicity of crimes… and is in excess of legal punishment.” Salehi was arrested in Oct. 2022 in the midst of the uprising sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini,…
1. Truthfully, Suits creator Aaron Korsh didn’t think he had much of a case when he shopped around his original script. As the writer’s strike was ending in 2008, Korsh’s agent suggested he turn his stories about former finance boss Harvey into a series. And as an aspiring comedy writer, he told The Hollywood Reporter, “I sat down to write something in the tone of Entourage that took place on Wall Street. What emerged when I was finished was an hourlong show. I wouldn’t say it was a thriller, but it was much more dramatic, with these plot twists and turns.” Not expecting a winning…
