After almost three years off the air, Stranger Things returned to Netflix last week with some of its biggest episodes to date. Seven episodes of Stranger Things Season 4 were made available on the premiere date, with another two set for July 1st. One character who has significantly less screen time than before is Charlie Heaton’s Jonathan Byers, and fans have been vocal about it on social media. Heaton was asked by British GQ about his reduced role. “I know why you’re asking that,” he told the outlet, “and I’ve definitely seen some forums like Screen Rant or something —…

Editor’s Note: Check out our complete coverage of Nine Inch Nails’ Friday night headlining set here, and see a photo gallery from all three days of Boston Calling 2022 here. Is the 2022 festival season cursed? With many events coming back for the first time in three years, there’s a rash of bad luck running through the landscape. From bad weather to artist cancellations to simply mediocre lineups, few events have been immune to misfortune in the early days of summer. Boston Calling was perhaps hit harder than most — by no fault of its own, mind you. If there’s…

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Sweden is often lauded for its gender equality. The gender gap in unpaid (house)work is narrow. Wide access to affordable, state-subsidized daycare, together with the right for parents of young children to work part time, means that women’s participation in the labor market is relatively high. And parental leave policies are generous. At the same time, among the 38 countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the employment gap between people born in Sweden and immigrants is among the widest. This impacts a large proportion of the Swedish population. One in five people in…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Myracles in the Void? I was going through a period of crippling anxiety, thinking I’d gone insane, and entirely isolated. I truly thought it was the end. And I was 23. But something deep down said I could unravel what was causing this. I had to. Over many years, I began to understand that starting very young I let every little failure define who I was, until nothing was possible, not even self-control. I’d conditioned myself for failure. Long story super-short, I wrote a book that metaphorizes what I…

On Friday, the 51-year-old English writer-director Alex Garland’s new movie, Men, opens in theaters. Garland’s not a celebrity auteur on the scale of your Martys, your Quentins, your PTAs. But for folks obsessed with twisty, discomforting, finely calibrated sci-fi, a new Garland project is a very big deal. Men, about a grieving widow stuck in some bucolic horror, is already being rapturously reviewed.I happen to consider myself a Garland Head. I fell for him after 2007’s Sunshine, a very underrated Danny Boyle flick about a bunch of doomed astronauts (they gotta nuke the sun!) for which Garland wrote the script.…
The oldest shoe in Norway — a 3,000-year-old bootie from the Bronze Age — is just one of thousands of ancient artifacts that were recovered from the country’s melting mountain ice patches in the past two decades, according to a new report from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).Unlike objects trapped in acidic soil or beneath gargantuan glaciers, the artifacts recovered from Norwegian ice patches are often found in impeccable condition, showing minimal decomposition and deformation, even after thousands of years of frozen slumber. That’s because ice patches are relatively stable, unmoving and free from corrosive compounds. Perfectly…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Shadow: Run, but you can’t hide? Shadow is the second book in The Storm Series. I ended the first book, Storm, with a lot of unanswered questions and I know this annoys some people, but I like leaving readers with a cliffhanger. I’ve always been curious about past lives and reincarnation, along with what the government doesn’t publicly disclose to its citizens. I took all of those aspects and incorporated them into the story where the main character has the ability to remember his past life. Even though some…
It’s probably game over for The Flight Attendant. Kaley Cuoco, who headlined the first two seasons of the HBO Max hit, has revealed the series is unlikely to return for a third season. “We did two — we should probably be done,” the star and EP told People.com. “I think I’ve been outnumbered with that thought; there’s definitely interest in doing a third season. I think for me, at this moment, the plane has landed.” While Cuoco is closing the door on the series, she believes it could return years down the line. “Some of my favorite shows on TV…
The overarching mood of autumn/winter 2022’s fashion trends can be summed up in one word: nostalgia. Now, nostalgia comes in many different forms depending on your age, experiences and interests. Whatever you might associate with happier, simpler times has likely been translated to the runways for the upcoming season because the creative collectives in New York, London, Milan and Paris have all been feeling that desire for a better life. Designers powered through the past two pandemic years with optimism, channeling their energies in quite literal pick-me-up trends such as dopamine dressing—a hashtag that continues to garner attention on almost all social platforms—but with the…
The first passenger to fly aboard Boeing’s Starliner will be Rosie the Rocketeer, a mannequin set to blast off to the International Space Station aboard the capsule on Thursday evening. If she makes the trip safely, NASA astronauts will be cleared for future flights on the new spacecraft.A successful uncrewed demonstration will make Boeing the second private company allowed to ferry NASA crews to the ISS and will make Starliner a full-fledged competitor to SpaceX’s Dragon crew capsule. “We’re excited to fly.

ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to Max and Charlie Carver to celebrate the home release of The Batman on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD. The brothers spoke about acting together on-screen, getting into their characters, and taking a punch from Robert Pattinson.“Two years of stalking the streets as the Batman (Robert Pattinson), striking fear into the hearts of criminals, has led Bruce Wayne deep into the shadows of Gotham City. With only a few trusted allies—Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), Lt. James Gordon (Jeffrey Wright)—amongst the city’s corrupt network of officials and high-profile figures, the lone vigilante has established himself as…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Alondra? I wanted to continue my series [The Hawthorne University Witch Series], but I was looking for something different. I always found Cadence’s teacher and mentor, Alondra, mysterious and captivating in my series. The problem was that, whereas Cadence was an outsider to witchcraft, innocent and uncertain about her magic, Alondra was a full-fledged powerful witch. So, to give the prequel a similar flavor as the series, I felt a need to change the POV. Alondra is narrated by her love interest, Liam. Finally, I delved headlong into the…

IN DECEMBER 2009, a submarine plunged 2,000 meters into the Gulf of California and emerged clutching a whole new branch of life. The deep-sea craft hadn’t uncovered a new species of fish, or some hitherto unknown crustacean, but something much more profound. In one of the most alien environments on Earth, the submarine had found a group of microbes utterly distinct from all other life. In animal terms, it was like stumbling across mollusks or insects for the first time. Not just one new species but a whole swath of life had swum into focus.This might sound momentous. It is…
Melatonin poisoning in children has risen dramatically over the past decade, a new study suggests. Between 2012 and 2021, U.S. poison control centers saw a 530% increase in calls about children who had ingested large amounts of the sleep-aid supplement, the study found. More than 260,000 cases of melatonin ingestion were reported, and of these, more than 27,000 children required treatment in a health care facility. That includes more than 4,000 children who were hospitalized and nearly 290 kids who received care in an ICU. Five of the affected children were placed on mechanical ventilators for breathing support and two children under…

Like Jennifer Lopez on May 5, Dakota Johnson evoked the ’70s with her latest Santa Monica street style look earlier this week. Johnson went for a more casual look compared to Lopez’s diva fringe white coat, skirt, and sweater ensemble.

She completed the outfit with a black mask, gold-rimmed sunglasses, Gucci loafers, and a statement red bag.
