seriously.
My suggestion: stay inside and see and hear some of the offerings here.
‘The Gray Man’
How can you ignore a movie that stars Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, and reggae-gene Page?
The answer is you can’t.
It starts streaming on Netflix from Friday.
‘rap sh*t’
We can thank Issa Rae for this, even though she’s not acting.
The “Insecure” star/co-creator served as executive producer and wrote the first episode for the series about two disparate friends who come together to form a rap duo. “Keep It” podcast host Aida Osman and “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” star and rapper Kamilian play the lead roles.
The comedy is set in Miami and owes much to the real-life rap duo City Girls, but with the wit of Rae and her team in a comedy that’s as much about female empowerment and life as it is about hip-hop. Hop is.
The first two episodes are streaming on HBO Max, which, like CNN, is part of Warner Bros.
‘Virgin River’ season 4
I don’t usually skip shows here that have been running for a while, but I kept hearing about “Virgin River”. And now I understand why.
Set in a small town, it is full of soap and has romance and drama. If that doesn’t scream “see addictive comfort”, then nothing does.
This season, there’s the question of parenthood as the main storyline, along with everything else going on in a remote corner of Northern California. If you’re looking for a binge, start with season one and keep it going.
Season four is currently streaming on Netflix.
two things to hear
After releasing his electric album, “Fear of the Dawn” in April, Jack White has turned acoustic for his latest.
“Entering Heaven Alive,” on Friday, came together from a bunch of music composed by White that didn’t quite fit into the same project.
I, for one, can’t get enough of Jack White music, so I’m not unhappy with two separate albums.
Odeza, the electronic music group currently made up of Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight, is hoping their latest album will bring people to the party in person.
Touring with the two is on some level more performance art than a DJ set, and it’s designed as much to dazzle attendees as it is to make them dance.
“The Last Goodbye” released on Friday.
one thing to talk about
When my husband reads this newsletter, I make a fifth plea (he’ll be better and I’m not an idiot), but let’s say that after decades of Lopez and Affleck finding a way to go back to each other, many of us Some people had feelings.
Much has been made of Lopez’s many marriages (now four), not to mention multiple engagements and relationships, when in reality she is hardly the first (or last) in Hollywood when it comes to love.
And isn’t the saying that it gets bigger later? Best of luck to Benefit 2.0.
something to sip
I worked out for the first time in a minute because of Emilia Clarke and am paying better attention to my diet.
She is the latest example of a celebrity using a deep personal crisis to inform and help others.
I have a lot of admiration for how she is using the darkest times of her life to shine a light on an important topic.
