Here Comes the Boom: A Laugh at the Chubby Guy Movie, Sans the Laughs

Call me crazy, but Kevin James doesn’t seem to be an inherently funny guy. Sure, he has an odd, cylindrical shape that promises lots of humorous pratfalls, but he also possesses a kind, Everyman-ish face that actually makes us not want to see him too hurt, or humiliated, or debased. He’s been mentored by Adam Sandler (whose Happy Madison company produced several other James vehicles, including this latest), but we don’t expect from him Sandler’s sociopathic mischief, or Ben Stiller’s owlish klutziness.

Hope Davis Is Hillary Clinton

“We did, of course, want to get as close visually as we could. I’m wearing some wigs and some teeth. The pantsuits have been made exactly to spec.

How Is Shawn Mendes As a Boyfriend? An Investigation Into Wonder

To say that Wonder is mostly about Camila Cabello would be an understatement. Not even a global pandemic has managed to stop the Shawn Mendes–Camila Cabello relationship cringe fest, which officially began last year following years of friendship. Remember the over-the-top kiss that continues to haunt our nightmares? Well, over the last nine months we’ve seen the two pop stars very in love, and not afraid to let anyone know it.

How The Good Fight Brought the Trump Era to TV, From the Pee Tape to #MeToo

The 2018 Emmy race has begun, and Vulture will take a close look at the contenders until voting closes on June 25. More than any other TV show this season, The Good Fight knows how to spin real-life news into ripped-from-the-headlines drama. Much as they did in The Good Wife, the show’s creators, Robert and Michelle King, tend to avoid giving lectures, and instead situate their characters in the middle of major news stories, then figure out how to make them scheme their way through it all.

How to Dress Like the Third Richest Woman in the World, According to Loot

“New money is more fun money” was the mantra guiding costume designer Kirston Leigh Mann on Apple TV+ comedy series Loot. Mann and Maya Rudolph’s seventh collaboration in a decade (including The Good Place, Forever, and Amy Poehler’s 2019 directorial debut Wine Country) also marked their most extravagant: Rudolph plays freshly minted billionaire Molly Novak (née Wells), whose divorce settlement from a tech CEO (Adam Scott) just made her the third-richest woman in the world.

How WandaVisions Pitch-Perfect Title Sequences Channeled TVs Past

[Clockwise from top left] WandaVision circa the 1960s, the ‘80s, the ‘70s, and the late ‘90s/aughts. Our current golden age of TV is also a golden age of TV title sequences. From the overlapping moody silhouettes of True Detective to the dripping wax-figure goop of Daredevil, from the board-game relief maps of Game of Thrones to the neon hues of the synth-drenched Stranger Things, splashy, expensive-looking title sequences have become an expected element of high-profile series.

I Ate the Shawn Mendes Bowl the Way Shawn Intended

Shawn Mendes has shown that he likes an avocado. So guac isn’t optional in the Shawn Mendes Bowl. It’s mandatory. Shawn Mendes is a fast-casual pop star, which is a few notches below fine pop dining (divas and vocalists) but a step up from fast-food pop star (see: the Chainsmokers). Sure, he can occasionally be indulgent and very delicious, owing to an ecstatic charisma and stage presence, but most of his music amounts to a wide-appeal sonic work lunch.
