The Jan. 6 hearings have proven to perhaps be bigger than expected. The first session, which aired during prime time, were a ratings smash. After a hearing devoted to him helping destroy the lives of election workers and bullying state legislators, even Fox News’ Neil Cavuto admitted it made him look “awful, just awful.” Now he’s starting to lose Republican congresspeople.
JUST IN: Moderate House Republican Rep. Don Bacon tells CNN’s @mkraju that after watching the January 6th committee hearings he “will not be supporting” former President Donald Trump in the 2024 Republican primary if he announces he is running.
Don Bacon, a moderate Republican representative from Nebraska, went on CNN Wednesday, where he discussed watching the hearings. He admitted they’ve already, only four sessions in, with more to go, changed his mind. How much? To the point that should Trump run again in 2024, as he’s long teased, Bacon “will not be supporting” him.
If a relatively obscure GOP congressperson jumping ship doesn’t sound like that big a deal, then know that mere weeks ago, Bacon was criticizing Trump but pointedly not going so far as to say he wouldn’t support his third presidential run should he win the primary.

Some found themselves optimistic that Bacon is simply the first domino to fall on the Republican side of Congress, which has been all-in on Trump, even after the events of Jan. 6.
Remember when I said, all elected Republicans in DC will turn on Trump. And it starts on the Jan 6th Hearings

Of course, Trump has spent his entire life being made of Teflon, avoiding any and all serious punishment for his alleged crimes. But there’s a chance — a slim one, or maybe not — that a figure so chaotic that he let a documentary crew film him and his cronies as they tried to overturn an election might finally get his comeuppance.
It’s milkshake season, fam! The temperatures are climbing nationwide and summer is upon us, meaning now is the optimal time to wash down a juicy burger and a piping hot order of fries with a nice cold, creamy, brain-freeze-inducing milkshake. Or forget about the food entirely — a good milkshake is enough to make you full and keep you satisfied, no burger required.
In a fast food landscape full of options like the oreo milkshake and all sorts of other inventive mix-ins offered at fast food restaurants nationwide, nothing hits the spot in these early summer months quite like a strawberry milkshake. Often looked over in favor of chocolate or vanilla, the strawberry milkshake offers something that those sweet and rich flavors fail to deliver on: a refreshing component. A good strawberry milkshake, with its combination of creamy and fruity flavors, offers an experience that simply exudes summer vibes.
today, we’re separating the good from the bad in this ranking of the best fast food strawberry milkshakes. Let’s sip!
12. Burger King — Strawberry Shake
Burger King
Thickness: 2/5
Tasting Notes:
Welcome back to another episode of our favorite show, Shitting All Over Burger King. We’ve made it no secret that Burger King is one of our least favorite, if not our least favorite restaurant in the great pantheon of fast food brands. BK’s slogan is “have it your way” — having it our way is typically “not having Burger King at all.”
The biggest issue with the Strawberry Shake is the consistency, it’s way too watery. A good milkshake is always a struggle to get through the straw, that’s not a problem here, this stuff comes bursting through and it hits your palate with too much sweetness, way too quickly. The shake also melts instantly on your tongue, giving this a sort of off-putting strawberry Nesquik vibe.
The Bottom Line:
Never order a milkshake from Burger King, in any flavor.
A few weeks back I reviewed every single Frappuccino on the Starbucks menu and bemoaned the relatively recent recipe change of the Strawberries and Cream frappe. Well, I’m happy to say to fans who miss that original recipe, the McDonald’s Strawberry Shake is a dead ringer. This has that same cream-forward flavor with the slightest hint of strawberries on the backend. It’s rich and luxurious in flavor but suffers from a slightly watery consistency that doesn’t allow you to really savor it.
It’s the one thing holding it back.
The Bottom Line:
More vanilla than strawberry, if you like your milkshakes easy to drink and with the slightest hint of fruit flavor, you can’t go wrong with this pick.
Jack in the Box’s milkshakes have so much going for them, they’re supremely thick and luxurious, the flavors are all on point, and they have a variety of fun options and a rotating list of seasonal flavors, but unfortunately, they cut a few corners and it keeps them from being truly great.
The strawberry here is that heavy on the vanilla strawberry and cream variety that recalls what you’d find at malted milk shops and ’50s-themed greasy spoons, but after about ten minutes this milkshake starts to lose its consistency and turns into a watery mess. This means you can only drink about half of it before it’s better of being thrown away than finished unless you like the taste and mouthfeel of rapidly separating strawberry milk.
On top of that Jack in the Box adds this truly awful whipped cream that is as far as I can tell, purely decorative, it tastes like sweet air and is topped with Jack in the Box’s weirdly, discomfitingly chewy maraschino cherries.
The Bottom Line:
So close to being good. Split it with someone and treat it as a fry dip until your meal is finished. By then, whatever is left won’t be worth drinking anymore.
Carl’s Jr’s milkshakes utilize real ice cream rather than working off a soft-serve base which adds a real depth of flavor to the experience. This shake hits you with perfectly balanced notes of creamy vanilla and sweet strawberries with a nice rich consistency that is easy to drink, but not too easy.
It hits the Goldilock’s Zone, it’s just right.
The Bottom Line:
It’s the baseline for what a strawberry shake should be, but that doesn’t make for a memorable shake. It’s good, but nothing special.
In-N-Out is facing an interesting problem in California. The state, as the chain’s birthplace, is home to the most In-N-Outs in the country but California has a state-wide ban on plastic straws, meaning just about every CA-based business is now exclusively using paper straws of varying quality. Some paper straws are nearly indistinguishable from plastic straws, so in most cases, you don’t really notice the change (unless you’re one of those weird anti-paper straw people, which I for the record, am not, I hate all straws equally) — In-N-Out just happens to have some of the worst.
So if you like drinking your milkshakes, don’t come to In-N-Out because you’re going to most definitely have to use a spoon to enjoy this one. You could always use fries but, In-N-Out’s fries are pretty much universally hated (except by me) and don’t have the right consistency to hold their shape once dipped into this very thick and creamy milkshake.
This is all a real shame because In-N-Out’s milkshakes are so damn good.
They’re thick and luxurious, and the strawberry, in particular, is addictingly delicate, with a flavor so light and subtle that you’ll find yourself taking sip after sip just to taste more of it. But because the shake is so thick, it, and please try to contain yourself, requires a lot of sucking. You really have to work this thing, which means a lot of time with the straw in your mouth absorbing your spit until it swells up and stops functioning as a straw. You know, the thing it IS.
But, I’m not going to hold that against In-N-Out. This is still a great shake, it’s just inconvenient to drink.
The Bottom Line:
A great milkshake that in most cases you’ll have to eat with a spoon.
Del Taco’s Premium Strawberry Shake is the most underrated shake in the game. Its presence is completely absent from most online rankings of milkshakes but not here at Uproxx, we love this thing! The flavor is light, tart, and refreshing thanks to the inclusion of real strawberries that come bursting through the straw between sips, adding a bright juicy flavor that is lacking in most other fast food milkshakes.
We love the inclusion of real strawberries, but it tastes like Del Taco steeped these berries in a sweetened syrup, which makes them just a bit sweeter than they need to be. But being “a bit too sweet” isn’t really that big of a problem for a milkshake to have.
The Bottom Line:
Refreshing, tart, sweet and creamy. A delicious middle ground between a strawberry smoothie and milkshake.
Shake Shack’s milkshakes are delicious — they had better be, they’re the Shake Shack after all — but the thing with the core trio of flavors is that they’re all pretty boring compared to the seasonal flavors that drop every few months (Burgerville, in Oregon, has this same issue). In the spring you have strawberry rhubarb, during Valentine’s day season we get a chocolate-covered strawberry spin on the flavor, and the fast-casual chain even did a strawberry-based shake during last year’s Pride Month, and a cookies and cream strawberry shake but the basic strawberry is just that, basic.
Those better flavors all use the strawberry milkshake as their base, but they offer texture and more interesting flavors that end up making the base flavor taste like something is missing. Right now, in spring 2022, Shake Shack is currently offering a chocolate churro, sprinkle, and Oreo Cookie funnel cake milkshake as part of the summer season. None of those have strawberries, but they all sound about 100 times more exciting.
The Bottom Line:
If you order a Strawberry Shake from Shake Shack you’ll get one of the best tasting and thickest milkshakes in the fast food galaxy, but chances are a better-limited edition flavor that uses strawberry as a base is also available — in which case you should order that instead.
Sonic has a classic strawberry shake and because this is an article about the best fast food strawberry shakes, we felt inclined to put it on this list but also, fuck that because the Strawberry Cheesecake Master Shake is delicious, it exists, and it would be a disservice to all of you to pretend it doesn’t exist just to fit the parameters of this article. After all, it’s still technically a strawberry shake — it just has other stuff in it too.
That other stuff includes cheesecake, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla ice cream which are all blended together with fresh strawberries and topped with whipped cream and a maraschino cherry. Who would take strawberry over this textured masterpiece?
The Bottom Line:
Sweet, a bit tangy in all the best ways, tart, and textured with sweet graham cracker crumbs that travel through the straw with every sip. Order this over the classic strawberry shake every time.
It’s no secret that DQ, home of the Blizzard, has a lot of milkshake options, including a classic strawberry milkshake, but what is kind of an open secret is that the chain’s seasonal drinks, like the Valentine’s Day-themed Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Blizzard, are available year-round since DQ pretty much has all the mix-ins on hand.
Simply order a strawberry blizzard with added chocolate chunks and you have access to the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Blizzard! This Blizzard is so thick it doesn’t even come with a spoon (it’s arguable whether Blizzards are even milkshakes) with a strawberries and vanilla sweet cream flavor backed by the occasional burst of rich milk chocolate. It comes across as a bit more decadent and rich than the other shakes on this list.
The Bottom Line:
You’re welcome for the hack. This is the best strawberry-flavored milkshake at Dairy Queen. Feel free to create your own with DQ’s variety of toppings or just trust us — it’ll never top this simple flavor combination classic.
Now we’re talking. For the first time in Wendy’s 53-year history, the burger chain has finally given us a strawberry-flavored Frosty, and this thing fucking DELIVERS. Yes, we needed all caps for that. For the duration of the summer, the Strawberry Frosty will be taking the place of the vanilla (Wendy’s Frosty system is so intricate apparently that they can only have two flavors at a time, weird, but true) meaning the days you have to enjoy this thick and creamy treat are numbered.
Move fast, friends. What you’ll find is a thick and luxurious shake with that familiar malted characteristic the Frosty is known for with a bright and refreshing flavor that ends with a tart zip. Wendy’s makes this shake by pureeing real strawberries into a vanilla ice cream base, making this one of the most natural strawberry milkshakes (if you can call a Frosty that, we just did) in all of fast food.
The Bottom Line:
Wendy’s greatest Frosty being a limited-time item is the brand’s cruelest move since that time they removed the spicy chicken nugget from the menu for a year.
All of Chick-fil-A’s shakes are very delicious, we even named the Oreo milkshake the Best Milkshake in the Fast Food Galaxy, and the Strawberry Shake is no different. Supremely thick (probably fast food’s thickest shake) and freezing cold, Chick-fil-A’s shakes are hand-spun using the chain’s delicious soft serve Icedream, resulting in a luxurious consistency that holds its shape from the first sip until the last, no matter how hot out it is.
That simple feature makes this milkshake one of the most consistent we’ve ever had. I’m not sure what kind of magic Chick-Fil-A uses to achieve this, but we wish more drive-thrus did it.
The strawberry version of the shake features small chunks of real strawberry, but the fruit definitely takes a backseat to the vanilla here, the strawberry notes are so faint they are almost ghostly. It comes across more like vanilla ice cream with small chunks of strawberries in it than a true strawberry-based dessert.
The Bottom Line:
Chick-fil-A’s Strawberry Shake is great, but it’s the summer, aka the season of the Chick-fil-A’s Peach Shake which you should order over this for as long as it’s available.
Five Guys is the best place to buy a milkshake, period. No other fast food establishment gives you this many mix-in choices, and even though the shake is an absurd $6.69, it’s worth every penny. Unless of course, you get a strawberry shake. That’s the thing… Five Guys Strawberry Shake is delicious, it uses real strawberries steeped in simple syrup (again, fast food brands, aren’t strawberries sweet enough, do we need the syrup?!) handspun with thick and creamy vanilla, resulting in a milkshake that is thick as mud, sweet as cotton candy, and above all else, refreshing and fruity.
The way the natural flavors of vanilla and strawberry mingle together perfectly in this sweet and creamy shake is the sort of balance every other brand should strive for, but at $6.69 (Vincent Vega would never!) and with the choice of unlimited toppings, why would you ever stop at just strawberry?
You can easily add chocolate into this thing for a Neopolitan vibe, or better yet, chocolate and fresh banana with a cherry on top for a banana split shake. Maybe you want to find out what an Oreo cookie strawberry shake tastes like, or hell, go wild, get bacon for a sweet and salty sensation. The sky is the limit here, but it wouldn’t be ranked first if the shake without all the frills didn’t taste great, and this very much does. You can’t go wrong here.
The Bottom Line:
The best strawberry shake in all of fast food, but don’t stop at classic strawberry. Add an unlimited amount of any of Five Guys 13 toppings to make this something really special.
Our suggestion? Strawberry + Banana with whipped cream and a side of peanuts.
There’s a new profile of Brad Pitt out in GQ, in which novelist Ottessa Moshfegh visits him in one of his homes, which he bought from Cassandra Peterson, aka Elvira. There are a number of curious revelations. One is that he owns a house once owned by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. (“This was the first place I bought when I made some money in ’94.”) Another is that a “close confidant” is Flea. Another is that he once hunted for buried treasure on a chateau he owned with ex-wife Angelina Jolie in France.
But in other ways, Pitt is a normal guy. Like all of us, he tried to adopt new skills during the height of the pandemic. Unlike most of us (but almost exactly like Seth Rogen), he actually succeeded. Yes, that’s right, the big screen Cliff Booth got really into ceramics, including porcelain:
As we’re talking in his living room, Pitt slips away for a moment and then reappears, looming over the couch on which I sit. He slaps two incredibly heavy candlesticks into my open palms. I understand that these are his creations. Over the pandemic, he learned ceramics. The candlesticks are painted black and gold and are very handsome. “That’s porcelain,” he says. “Everything I read, porcelain’s about being thin so that light penetrates, the thinner you get. It’s a cardinal sin to make it thick.” And yet that’s what Pitt has done, and he’s succeeded. “What I love is the heft, like a Leica camera or a quality watch. You could dump this in the dirt and someone could dig it up 2,000 years later, because it’s been under a volcanic reaction.”
Pitt also speculates that he has prosopagnosia, a rare condition in which he has trouble recognizing people’s faces, which has led some to mistakenly think of him as “remote and aloof, inaccessible, self-absorbed,” as Moshfegh puts it.
It’s a fairly deep interview. At one point the two are reciting lines from Rilke and Rumi poems to each other, with the star of Meet Joe Black talking about how “when you carry real pain and real joy simultaneously, this is maturity, this is growth.” At one point, Moshfegh tells Pitt her “heart just might be broken,” to which he replies, “I think all our hearts are broken.”
After the interview is over, Pitt sends her an email in which he elaborates on matters they discussed, which he’s broken into three sections: “Summation, Clarification, Rumination.” He also tells her, “I consider myself on my last leg.”
But there’s also some happier news: After confessing that he’s “always felt very alone in my life,” Pitt adds that he’s changed for the better, that “it’s really not till recently that I have had a greater embrace of my friends and family.” It’s a lovely thing to learn in a story in an issue of a magazine boasting a pretty odd cover image:

Since before this past February’s trade deadline, the Portland Trail Blazers have been linked to pursuing a trade for Pistons forward Jerami Grant. While a deal didn’t get done during the season, with Portland choosing to tank the second half of the year with Damian Lillard hurt and the Pistons choosing to hold off on a trade til the summer, that interest hadn’t changed as Thursday’s Draft approached.
What Grant’s value was on an expiring was up for debate, and we learned on Wednesday night what it would take to get him out of Detroit. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Grant was headed to the Blazers for a 2025 first round pick (from Milwaukee) and a few second round pick swaps.
Detroit swaps 2022 second-round picks — getting 36 for 46 — with Portland, too. Denver gets a 2025 second-round pick back from Portland, and Portland sends the most favorable 2026 second-round pick between Portland and New Orleans to Detroit, sources said. https://t.co/c8M8TlEgoY
There are no other players going to Detroit in the trade, as the Pistons create a massive trade exception and $43 million in cap space for the summer — with the pick headed their way lightly protected — and Portland fits Grant into the trade exception they created in the CJ McCollum deal at the deadline.
The 2025 first-round pick via Milwaukee is protected Nos. 1-4, sources said. Detroit sends Grant into a $21M trade exception, and Pistons now have $43 million in salary cap space for free agency.
This now sets the Blazers up for potentially another big move with the No. 7 overall pick, which has been linked to John Collins trade talks with the Hawks as Atlanta is expected to flip their star forward ahead of the draft. We’ll see if Portland is willing to make another big splash there or if they feel Grant is enough of an addition to push them closer to contending again in the West.
Grant’s fit alongside Damian Lillard has always been apparent, as he’s a solid wing defender with secondary creation abilities on offense. For a Blazers team that has been without that kind of presence on the wing for some time, this is a nice pickup without costing them a major asset and allowing them the flexibility to make another move if they so choose. Detroit, meanwhile, is now able to be the league’s biggest spender in free agency or in absorbing a big contract in a trade, as they look to build around Cade Cunningham and the No. 5 overall pick this year.
The Tequila Sunrise is one of those classics that feels a bit lost to time. It’s a sugar bomb that’s also very delicious when you drink only one or two. The blanco tequila, grenadine, and concentrated orange juice create a kind of alchemy that’s hard to explain on paper but becomes crystal clear the second your lips hit the rim of the glass.
Before we dive in, let’s get a little context, because this drink has a wild history. Back in 1971, two bartenders in Sausalito, California “invented” this drink at the Trident Bar (though earlier iterations were around in Arizona back in the 1930s). Somehow, Mick Jagger — you know, of the Rolling Stones — fell in love with the drink, introduced it to the band, and they all started ordering it on their ’72 tour. So much so that it came to be nicknamed the “Tequila Sunrise and Cocaine Tour.”
By ’73, Cuervo was putting the recipe on its bottles. The same year, The Eagles had a song called “Tequila Sunrise” on their wildly popular album, Desperado. That, folks, is a meteoritic rise to fame for a cocktail. Hell, by the mid-80s, sexy-crime movies were even being called Tequila Sunrise.
While I won’t be serving this with the tradition pile of 1970s blow (this party is strictly BYOC), I’m otherwise keeping this recipe exactly like the Sausalito original, with only four humble ingredients and a shockingly simple preparation. Let’s get pouring!

I’m using Volcan De Mi Tierra Blanco Tequila since I have some on the shelf. I would recommend going a little higher end with this one as the tequila is what makes this drink.
While it would track that freshly squeezed orange juice would be the way to go, as fresh products generally are vs. frozen, it’s kind of not. The drink calls for concentrated orange juice, because that was in fashion at the time, but concentrate also has a slightly different consistency and texture. It’s smoother and denser and works to create the unique textural experience of a Tequila Sunrise. You can try this with freshly squeezed but I guarantee you it won’t taste quite right.
Zach Johnston
What You’ll Need:
Rocks glass
Paring knife
Spear
Jigger
Method:
Fill the rocks glass with ice.
Add the 1.5 ounces of tequila and three ounces orange juice. Do not stir!
Slowly pour the 0.5 oz grenadine into the drink on the inside edge of the glass and let it sink to the bottom. Again, do not stir.
Top with a cherry and orange wheel on a spear. Serve.
Bottom Line:
Zach Johnston
First, this is super easy to make. It takes about 15 seconds if you’re in a hurry. That makes this the perfect summer backyard party cocktail for a make-your-own-drinks bar.
Secondly, it’s goddamn delicious. The orange and tequila really accentuate each other, with the sweetness from the grenadine sneaking in as you sip. The top half of the drink is all agave, pepper, and citrus. The bottom half is sweet agave and grasses with a sweet red rock candy underpinning it all.
Overall, this is just really good on a hot day when you need something super cold and sweet with a citrus edge to cut through all that sugar. Just be careful: it’ll create a hell of a hangover the next morning. I guess that was what all the cocaine was for on that Stones tour back in ’72.
It’s kind of an unspoken open secret in pop music that a lot of our favorite singers are actually even more talented than they show. Since simpler, catchier songs tend to be more marketable and popular (thus making a lot more money), many singers with incredible vocal talent often constrain themselves to music they can sell rather than demonstrating their full gifts.
Some fans are getting a taste of this thanks to a TikTok video taken during a Jason Derulo show, as the “Wiggle” and “Swalla” singer demonstrated another facet of his musical gifts. In the video, the classically trained singer launches into an impressively barrel-chested rendition of his song “Goodbye” in the style of the Andrea Bocelli classic “Time To Say Goodbye,” which it samples. The camera swiftly pans over to a fan in the crowd whose jaw is doing its best to find the floor, while the caption explains that the audience was “FLABBERGASTED” by the pop star’s operatic vocals.
anyway my favorite thing I learned today is that jason derulo is a classically trained vocalist and can sing opera???? need to hear him sing his name like this asap pls @jasonderulopic.twitter.com/CBIimFxEld
Naturally, the TikTok quickly made its way to Twitter, where fans did a 280-character written version of the shocked face of the girl on the TikTok. From having trouble reconciling the booming voice in the video with Derulo’s role in the mind-breakingly bad 2019 film version of Cats to being utterly floored by yet another hidden talent from the constantly surprising singer, fans couldn’t contain their amazement at Jason’s previously unacknowledged gift.
JASON DERULO IS A TRAINED CLASSICAL OPERA SINGER….?? Ok that explains why he was in cats
i just saw a Tik Tok that Jason Derulo started singing opera at his show bc he’s actually classically trained and that has to be the most Jason Derulo thing I’ve ever seen
The Duffer Brothers are basically pulling out all of the stops to say “don’t say we didn’t warn you” when the final two extremely long episodes of Stranger Things season four drop on Netflix next week.
The creators have been dropping hints that a beloved character may or may not die, which caused many of the diehard Stranger Thingsfans to panic. When asked if any fan favorites would perish in the finale, Ross didn’t exactly admit it, but he did give fans a warning.
“I don’t really want to say, but I would be concerned about the characters going into Volume 2, for sure,” Ross Duffer told Empire Magazine. “I hope that that is sort of the sense, because it is a darker season and the kids are no longer kids. And there’s sort of an ominous feeling that things might not go well. Now, whether they do or not, you’ll have to watch.”
Strange Things is known for making quirky, lovable characters and then giving them the most traumatic deaths imaginable (RIP Samwise Gamgee) so there will definitely be some sort of mourning. But, as always, the cast isn’t giving up any hints, so we will have to wait until July 1st for a conclusion. Even then, there is still another season in the works, which means they can probably find a way to resurrect their former loved ones. If they can have demonic dogs, why can’t they bring back Barb?
One of the most high-profile marriages in the world is reportedly coming to an end: Sources tell The New York Times that, after seven years, News Corp honcho Rupert Murdoch is filing for divorce from Jerry Hall, the model and actress who spent over 20 years in a long-term relationship with Mick Jagger. It will be Hall’s first divorce. For Murdoch, it will be his fourth.
Details are still thin on the ground, though some close to Hall expressed surprise at the end of their marriage. What’s up in the air is how a divorce will affect Murdoch’s media empire. NYT notes that it’s “unlikely” to change the structure of the businesses in which he has a stake, including Fox News and The Wall Street Journal. But, they speculate, the split “could reverberate throughout his business empire” in some fashion.
The October-December pairing — Hall is currently 65 while Murdoch is 91 — turned a lot of heads at the time. (Though it’s worth noting Hall’s ex Jagger, 78, is in a long-term relationship with a woman in her mid-30s, meaning his relationship has over a decade on Murdoch and Hall’s.) There was lots of head-turning when news of their divorce went public, including lots of jokes.
Some noted that there sure are a lot of divorces amongst conservatives like Murdoch, who peddle traditional family values to their audience.
Rupert Murdoch, Rush Limbaugh, Rudy Giuliani, Donald Trump, and Newt Gingrich will combine for 14 divorces between them when the ink dries on this one.
Murdoch and Hall were married in 2016, and at the time Murdoch was so elated that he vowed to devote less time to work and more time to his fourth wife. He went so far as to tweet that he was considering quitting Twitter, which he joined in 2012. “No more tweets for ten days or ever!” he wrote the day of his wedding. “Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in world.”
No more tweets for ten days or ever! Feel like the luckiest AND happiest man in world.
Well, guess what? As of this writing, that remains his last tweet. Whereas most people who dramatically announce they’re quitting Twitter, like Chrissy Teigen (who, granted, hasn’t posted since April), tend to last about two hours, the guy who runs a company that peddles vaccine misinformation stuck to his guns. Good for him. Of course, let’s see if he returns now that he’ll have more free time.
The cast for The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes isn’t as long as the movie’s title, but it’s getting there. It was announced last month that the Hunger Games prequel will star West Side Story breakout Rachel Zegler, the only Oscar attendee to call into a talk show co-hosted by “George Lucas” and Watto after presenting an award. The Ballad of Sticks and Stones Will Break My Bones But Peeta’s Disguise Will Always Haunt Me also stars Hunter Schafer, who plays Jules on HBO’s Euphoria.
Varietyreports that Schafer will portray Tigris Snow, the “cousin and confidante of Coriolanus Snow,” the evil ruler played by Donald Sutherland in the Hunger Games original trilogy. In the prequel, Coriolanus will be portrayed by Tom Blyth. Here’s more:
It follows the Snow family, which has fallen from grace in a post-war Capitol. With the 10th annual Hunger Games fast approaching, Snow is is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Zegler), a girl tribute from impoverished District 12. From there, things get gladiatorial and, Lionsgate dearly hopes, so gripping that its most successful franchise will be relaunched to sequel spawning effect.
We’re in the thick of summer now and feeling the heat across the United States. If you’re already sweltering this year and also don’t totally dig the firecracker thing (or need to stay inside and take care of your pups), then there’s a bucket full of content waiting for you in July. I’m assuming that you’ve already binged The Umbrella Academy as well, right? Good, and now Netflix is bringing you more of The Upside Down as well as a ridiculously good cast in The Gray Man, starring Chris Evans’ wily mustache. Also, Dakota Johnson’s starring in an Austen adaptation that looks like it’s designed to upset a few people, so just have some fun with that one.
Comedy and documentaries are also the name of the game. Bill Burr returns for a stand-up comedy special, and there’s a true crime story coming your way that you’ve probably heard about many times before, but it’s compelling enough for a new spin. Also, Boogie Nights, Goodfellas, and many other classics come to this streaming platform, too.
Happy binging. Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) Netflix in July.
Stranger Things 4: Volume 2 (Netflix series streaming 7/1)
Yes, yes. Again with the bifurcated season approach, and that’s no complaint. This second batch of Season 4 episodes promises to destroy fans in a way that they’ll hopefully love. War is definitely in Hawkins with Jamie Campbell Bower’s Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) doing the psychic-monster thing. Millie Bobby Brown’s out there somewhere, and the Duffer Brothers have warned that maybe not everyone will make it out alive. Does that sound ominous enough for you? It’s almost time to find out why, and hopefully, we’ll get some more Kate Bush, too. That would be a good rule for life.
The Gray Man (Netflix film streaming 7/22)
Come for the Chris Evans mustache and stay for… Chris Evans? Hey, Ryan Gosling (also with a mustache) and Anna de Armas are onboard, too, in this story about a CIA agent who stumbles upon information that the agency doesn’t want getting out there. And then a rogue operative comes for him (with a bounty), and we’ve got intrigue and action. This will either be a brilliant sendup or another over expensive, A-list Netflix movie, but maybe we’ll get lucky, and it’ll be both of those things.
Persuasion (Netflix film streaming 7/15)
Dakota Johnson’s bangs star in this evident retooling of the Jane Austen classic novel. Johnson portrays Anne Elliot, who decided not to marry a poor but handsome dude, and they get a second chance. Hopefully, someone will toss some limes into the frame for fun. If they’re gonna go off book, then why not go all the way and get meta with Limes Lies?
D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! (Netflix documentary streaming 7/13)
Does the world really need another D.B. Cooper take? Well, we’re getting one, even after countless pop culture references (including Loki and Justified) and an HBO documentary. Netflix gives this story a whirl, too, so sign on to watch more about the 1970s skyjacker who disappeared with all that cash and a never-surfaced identity.
Boo Bitch (Netflix series streaming 7/8)
Lana Condor is a gem, and here, she’s a gem that realizes that she’s a ghost who (naturally) decides that this is the best time to live her best life. This looks charming as heck and like a fuzzy summery confection.
Bill Burr: Live at Red Rocks (Netflix comedy special streaming 7/12)
The above compilation doesn’t reflect Bill Burr’s upcoming (and fifth) Netflix comedy special because the new trailer hasn’t materialized as of yet. But expect Bill (following the end of F Is For Family) taking on how his wife gives him bad reviews, and yeah, he will obviously address cancel culture again. Get ready.
