FX As one of the oldest streaming services in the game, some might argue Hulu’s at risk of being outpaced by younger competition. That might be true — or it might still need some room to grow. That feels like the overarching lesson of Hulu’s 2026, a promising year where the platform’s biggest swings saw remarkable upgrades in quality. Their sci-fi mystery box thriller has become a spectacular, blockbuster-level epic; the Glen Powell sports comedy is funnier — and darker — than it was in its freshman outing; and we’re…

And after spending summer loyally using the same basket, bucket and weekend bags I used the…
If I were buying luggage for the first time in a long time or replacing an old set, I’d choose Quince. You’re getting polished, durable suitcases with reliable features, and without paying a premium for the brand name. At $270 for both an expandable carry-on and a large checked bag, it’s an excellent value.Away doesn’t offer a comparable bundle, but its Large Flex ($425) and Carry-On Flex ($325) are almost identical to Quince’s Expandable Large Check-In ($220) and Expandable Small Carry-On ($140). All four are polycarbonate hard-shell suitcases with similar exterior and interior dimensions, capacity, and weight, though Quince’s are…

NASA is moving forward with designing a new space telescope that can see even deeper into the infrared universe than the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can.The new mission, called PRIMA (Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics), is continuing its development to Phase B — the preliminary design and tech phase — according to a NASA statement. Managers will review the mission’s progress before officially beginning the telescope’s journey to launch; if all goes to plan, PRIMA will embark on a five-year mission no earlier than 2033.PRIMA’s objective is to use a 5.9-foot [1.8 meters] telescope to examine the cosmos in…
The films didn’t exactly support Ichise’s 2005 statement that “Japanese horror is scarier than American horror”, but they were exemplary of his unwavering belief in the genre as an inexpensive, and therefore, low-risk arena for experimentation. Many of these kinds of absurdist horror-hybrids were ultimately able to ride the J‑Horror wave overseas to great success: Ryuhei Kitamura’s no-budget zombie apocalypse romp Versus (2000) and Takashi Miike’s fantasy musical horror-comedy The Happiness of the Katakuris (2001) both became cornerstones of the Tartan Asia Extreme collection in the UK. So why not Crazy Lips and Gore From Outer Space?“Personally, I think the strong emphasis on eroticism and action made Crazy Lips…
Metallica’s James Hetfield gave Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta a particular bit of advice on getting sober nearly two decades ago.Jasta has spoken about Hetfield’s influence on his sobriety in the past, but in a new interview with Metal Hammer, he shared the advice the Metallica frontman gave him when they met backstage at an MTV event in 2008.“I already owed Metallica a huge debt of gratitude because they played [Hatebreed’s] ‘Perseverance’ music video when they hosted [MTV’s] Headbanger’s Ball… So when I became host, I told them I was trying to be sober at the time and [Hetfield] said, ‘You just got to get…

Fusion-powered space travel has long held the promise of rapid trips across the solar system: Mars in weeks, Saturn in months, Pluto in years.For decades, such possibilities have remained theoretical, like something plucked out of a science fiction novel. But several companies are now working to build practical nuclear fusion propulsion engines, with significant milestones being hit.Pulsar Fusion, a U.K.-based startup, hopes to launch a demonstration mission to space in 2027, while Princeton University and Helicity Space in the U.S. are continuing their own work on fusion drives. Richard Dinan, the CEO of Pulsar Fusion, displays the Sunbird spacecraft at…

Oceans Calling Festival 2026 has been canceled due to the impending nor’easter forecasted to impact the region this weekend. The same weather system also forced the cancellation of Ed Sheeran’s shows at Gillette Stadium. Organizers previously called off Friday’s programming, with hopes of moving forward with the remainder of the weekend. However, “following the advice of the National Weather Service and in cooperation with local public officials,” organizers said they made the “difficult decision to cancel” the rest of the festival.

Emma Mcintyre/Getty Images Lili Reinhart brought a BookTok obsession to the screen in Prime Video’s new movie, “The Love Hypothesis.” The rom-com follows Olive (Reinhart), a PhD science student at Stanford who enters a fake dating arrangement with a professor to convince her best friend she’s moved on from a previous relationship. Although Olive and Dr. Adam Carlson (aka Dr. Evil, played by Tom Bateman) initially pretend to be in love, their chemistry soon proves to be undeniable. Reinhart’s recent acting credit positions her as a romantic lead, and it’s a…
Picture this: It’s June 2005, the British skies are crying, Glastonbury is muddy, and Kate Moss has just arrived in tall black Hunter boots. She wears them with a gold long-sleeve minidress, a thick leather belt hanging low on her waist, and the kind of nonchalant attitude that would soon become synonymous with festival dressing. The boots, meanwhile, are doing exactly what they were designed to do: keeping her feet dry and grounding her outfit in the reality of a very UK summer.What Moss didn’t realize in that moment was that one styling choice would become so much more. Thanks…

Archaeologists have unearthed a monumental 2,700-year-old tomb at Vulci, an important ancient Etruscan town north of Rome. Despite repeated attempts by tomb robbers to loot this burial over the centuries, the tomb still contained a massive collection of grave goods, including weapons, gold and bronze plates, chariot parts, a rare pair of women’s shoes, and a complete banquet set.The burial, nicknamed the Tomb of the Stone Chamber, was excavated this summer, according to a translated statement from the Italian Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape for the Province of Viterbo and Southern Etruria (SABAP-VT-EM). But the discovery builds on…
We’re calling it the biggest Oscar snub of modern times – Charles Melton should have been recognised for his tremendous performance in Todd Haynes’ May December as a young man groomed by and subsequently married to an older woman (played by Julianne Moore). He didn’t allow that to worry him, and instead leaned into his work, stealing scenes in the acclaimed Netflix’ comedy series Beef and Alex Garland’s exploration of the modern military, Warfare. He now rolls up as the enigmatic shit-kicker Private K in Nicolas Winding Refn’s first feature in a decade, Her Private Hell.LWLies: What was your relationship with Nicolas Winding…

U2 will celebrate their 50th year as a band later this year with their 16th studio album, Carnaval De Luz. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame legends announced details about their first full album of new material in nine years on Thursday (Sept. 24), and dropped the chaotic dancehall video for the LP’s frenetic, urgent second single, “Silencio.” On the thrumming, classic era-sounding “Silencio,” Bono sings, “There’s a quiet where a baby doesn’t cry/ There’s a hush where a mother might sigh/ Oh Mary mama angel offer her a choice,” over rattling drums and a throbbing bass line.

Netflix School is back in session at Hillman College. Nearly 40 years after Jasmine Guy’s Whitley Gilbert and Kadeem Hardison’s Dwayne Wayne graced our screens as the leads of the 1987 sitcom “A Different World,” the characters are back with a sequel series (all 10 episodes are now available to stream on Netflix) that both continues the story and breaks new ground. And while some of what’s presented in Netflix’s version 2.0 works well enough, the series’ overly dramatic lean detracts from what could’ve been a livelier run. Representing the…
One could argue that the name of a clothing item isn’t all that important, but I tend to disagree. The new jeans style I got the opportunity to try on is the perfect example of why. Premium denim brand Citizens of Humanity is known for designing jeans that are so popular they’re instantly recognizable by style name (the Miro, Charlotte, and Annina jeans, to name a few). One of its newest styles may have one of the most attention-grabbing names of them all: the 90s French Jeans. That’s right; they named them after two of every fashion person’s favorite things,…
Meta knows you probably have some privacy concerns about its smart glasses.At its annual Meta Connect event today in Menlo Park, California, the company announced plans to incorporate its siloed AI processing scheme known as Private Processing into its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
