I think this is the longest I’ve ever spent reporting a story. Three years of flying around the country for a set visit and interviews. I birthed two whole humans in that time! t.co/X24T8Yk8Wt

Celine Song’s follow-up to Past Lives, Materialists, is based on her time as a matchmaker. Clients would list their requirements for height, age, race, and income in a soulmate. We had a fascinating conversation about the upcoming film and the role of wealth in courtship time.com/7282305/celi...

Went to the Philly suburbs to sit down with the new Superman, David Corenswet

Lots of plot details in the story but my favorite bits are the quotes from James Gunn about how he was both annoyed and tickled by David asking incessant questions on set

We've been live blogging the Oscars over @time.com all night, but I would like to draw your special attention to this one post I wrote on that bizarre James Bond tribute that felt like a death knell for the franchise time.com/7263592/osca...

I visited Nicole Kidman in Nashville for our Women of the Year cover story to talk about why she never stops working. The Babygirl star has partnered with an astounding 19 female directors in just the last 8 years to close the gender gap in Hollywood time.com/7216403/nico...

Chatted with the always delightful Mindy Kaling about her new NBA comedy Running Point, guesting on Meghan Markle's show, Reneé Rapp leaving Sex Lives of College Girls, and the status of Legally Blonde 3. (Long live the Jennifer Coolidge renaissance!) time.com/7210356/mind...

Got a sneak preview of Severance Season 2…and it was worth the wait. I spoke to Ben Stiller, Adam Scott, and others about how they pulled it off time.com/7202896/seve...

The Top Ten movies of the year (and nine runners-up.)

I believe in my #1 like it's the Muad'Dib.

The 10 best movies of 2024, selected by @szacharek.bsky.social time.com/7199444/best...

Apparently Lovesick, a perfect British romcom series starring Johnny Flynn that not enough people know about, is disappearing from Netflix and likely the internet. It doesn’t exist on DVD. This is such a tragedy

Love to see someone being right. Good read from @louispeitzman.bsky.social! www.vulture.com/article/afte...

AMC told me Tom Cruise, Tim Burton, and James Cameron all had a hand in the novelty popcorn bucket trend that dominated movies in 2024

I wrote about how theaters are making millions from the buckets and recruited @time.com staff to review some of the outlandish vessels

Read the news? Nah, I’d rather add emojis to my Thanksgiving grocery spreadsheet

I profiled Amber Venz Box, co-founder of influencer platform LTK and quietly one of the richest self-made women in America.

She saw that influencers were the future of retail before Silicon Valley did. LTK will drive about $5 billion in sales this year

Ah, we’ve reached the time of year when I obsessively google “should I spatchcock my turkey?” for hours on end

Guess I was feeling nostalgic when I wrote my annual 10 Best Podcasts list this year. Included a lot of old faves with new twists time.com/7099008/best...

In the interest of helping all you lovely new people get up to speed more quickly, here's a starter pack featuring a bunch of the TV, film, and pop culture accounts I happily follow over here. More names being added all the time, in no particular order.

I recently recounted the entire plot of Joker 2 to my husband. At the end, when I revealed the twist involving the Heath Ledger lookalike, our 1-year-old started applauding. Not an auspicious start to her life as a cinephile
