These days, the quickest way to a successful acting career is not going drama school and not even being a nepo baby — it’s podcasting.

All The Love Under the Vast Sky edited by Kip Wilson (January 14) The entire premise and execution of this forthcoming anthology is brilliant and makes me so, so excited to read it. As the title suggests, this is an anthology exploring the meaning of love. What IS love anyway? This dives into the highs,
A new year is upon us, and with it, another “Where is it??” for Retroware’s Toxic Crusaders. It looked to be coming this past Fall (with the demo making that seem all the more likely), but that obviously never happened. So what’s the deal? Retroware has heard your cries, and has released a new development
It was very exciting to see the Globes make some unexpected choices in their nominations for this category by including Coralie Fargeat and Payal Kapadia.

1. Make your board a mix of things in terms of timescale After all, it’s not realistically to expect yourself to achieve and manifest all of your 2024 dreams and goals by the end of January.

One of the most delightfully strange movies from the 2024 Sundance Film Festival is about to make its theatrical debut this January. And the first trailer for Love Me, a millennia-spanning romance starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun, captures a portion of that delightful strangeness.

When it comes to Best Of lists, they’re never very difficult to research and write when centered around the horror genre. Any time I hear people bemoaning the lack of quality present in modern-day horror, I end up more confused than anything else. Ignoring the bevy of quality mainstream horror releases this year, the horror
Saying goodbye to people we love and respect is a part of life, and while it’s often to our loved ones, sometimes it’s to the people who touched our hearts and influenced our lives with their talent. In 2024, sadly, we lost many people with colossal talent; musicians who kept our toes tapping, actors who

There’s a reason why so many young people are turning to methods like the 52 week savings challenge. Saving money right now is hard. We’re living through days of high inflation, a cost of living crisis and a suffocatingly expensive housing market. Earlier this year, Yorkshire Building Society reported that five million young people in

In the past, I’ve always assumed fake tan products weren’t for me.

Self tan was only marketed towards one demographic: white people. But as a Black woman
