Will ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Be On Amazon Prime?

Donald Glover recently wrapped up FX’s Atlanta and co-created Amazon’s conversation-starting Swarm, and he’s about to star in Amazon’s reboot of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which looks to be far beyond the confines of the blockbuster action-romance-comedy flick starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Since Glover is involved, do not expect this to be a straightforward retelling of the film, but do expect to be able to binge the entire first season in one weekend. Amazon actually plans to release all eight episodes (co-starring Maya Erskine of PEN 15 and Blue Eye Samurai) in one go on February 2, 2024. Will it get you into the Valentine’s Day mood? Perhaps not.

Yes, the basic set-up of this series will also involve two secret assassins who are married, but in this story, they are arrange-hitched by their joint spy agency. They are rich and worldly and bored and lonely as hell, and oh damn, this sure looks like a worthwhile rewrite. As Glover told Entertainment Weekly, he wasn’t too taken with the film, so he’s turning marriage on its head:

Glover wished it explored something deeper, which is why he began thinking about doing a TV reimagining that would tackle modern ideas of marriage and relationships. “Why do people even get married anymore? Half of it ends in divorce — what’s the purpose?” Glover says. “Let’s make a show dealing with relationships, but from this point of view, centering more on really what a marriage is and trust and teamwork and loneliness and all that stuff. I just wanted it to be something that spoke to people right now because in a time of abundance, why do we feel lonely? The movie wasn’t about that.”

Phoebe Waller-Bridge was originally planned to co-star with Glover, but she dropped out, and Maya Erskine (who co-writes here) stepped up to fill those assassin shoes. The film will also co-star Michaela Coel, John Turturro, and Paul Dano.

Jennifer Garner shows how a random act of kindness begins with a simple Ziploc bag

Homelessness has been on the increase in America since 2016 and the numbers exploded in 2020. On a single night in January 2020, there were more than 580,000 individuals who were without a home.

There are many reasons for the increase in homelessness and one of the leading causes is a lack of affordable housing across the country. Housing prices have been on a steady increase and, according to PBS, we are about 7 million units short of affordable housing in the country.

So what can the average person do about this human tragedy taking place in America’s streets? Some people who would like to help don’t feel comfortable giving money to homeless people, although experts in the field say that most of the time it is OK.


“If you don’t have money or time, or capacity to donate, I still think it’s nice to be respectful and say hello,” Diane O’Connell, a community lawyer for the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless, told the Chicago Tribune.

Actress Jennifer Garner, 49, shared a great idea on Instagram for those who would like to help homeless people but aren’t sure how to do so.

The actress posted a video where she filled zip-up plastic bags with everyday items that homeless people need.

“Random act of kindness: gather these essentials in a quart sized ziploc bag and keep them in your car to give away when you see someone in need,” she captioned the post. “A pair of thick socks. Kleenex. Hand wipes. Disposable toothbrushes. Chapstick. A couple of granola bars. I forgot this time, but like to add feminine hygiene products, too. Add $5, $10, $20 and a smile.”

For those not comfortable giving money, they can put a gift card in the bag for a local restaurant. O’Connell says that one thing most homeless people desperately need is a hot meal.

“Simple, cheap foods like bagels and doughnuts aren’t that helpful,” O’Connell said. “People who are homeless can usually buy things like that for themselves.” Often what people experiencing homelessness need is a hot meal, she said, because that’s more difficult for them to buy.

Greendrop says that the items most commonly requested by homeless people are socks and undergarments. Homeless people are always walking and have a hard time accessing laundry facilities so their socks and undergarments are often dirty or falling apart.

Here are some other items that will help make homeless people more comfortable:

Shampoo and conditioner

Toothpaste

Hair brushes and toothbrushes

Soap

Lotions

Nail clippers

Feminine hygiene products

Reusable containers

Garner’s Ziploc bag tip is a great idea because it’s a simple way for people to lend a hand when they encounter someone on the streets. How many times have you been driving around, saw someone in need, but didn’t have any way to help? This way you can easily brighten someone’s day when you see them at a freeway on-ramp or in a parking lot without having to ask yourself whether you feel comfortable giving them money.

Rural Texas dad shares what he told his son when they saw a trans woman for the first time

A dad is sharing his first encounter with a transgender woman in his small Texas town, and the simple lesson he taught his son is inspiring hope in others.

James Eric Barlow (oddragon226 on TikTok) shared a video from his car describing how he and his son saw a trans woman in real life for the first time. “We all know that there’s people that are disgusted whenever they see a trans person,” Barlow begins. “And we all know of the people who don’t care if they see a trans person.

“But apparently, we’re a third type of person (or at least I am, I can’t speak for him),” he says, indicating his son in the backseat who chimes in with “I am, too!”

Barlow then goes on to explain how they had just had their first experience with a trans woman. It wasn’t anything major—she just walked through a door behind them and Barlow held the door for her, just as he would any other person. He didn’t even notice she was trans at first, but once he did, his immediate reaction was one we can all learn from.


“When I tell you how happy it made me,” he says, beginning to tear up, “to be able to see somebody be out and open to the world here in small town Texas. You just gotta know how much bravery that takes. Right, Mikey?”

“Hell yeah!” the son agrees.

Barlow wanted to say something to her, but he didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable, either.

“But if you’re a trans woman and you came here to the Landmark truck stop in Clyde, Texas, just know we’re proud of you,” he concludes.

@oddragon226

our first trans woman experience #trans #transwoman #transpeoplearepeople #transrights #translivesnatter

Barlow’s video was shared on Reddit, where it’s received 37,000 upvotes and a slew of comments that prove parents set the tone for their kids’ sense of acceptance.

“Indoctrinate your children with kindness, compassion, consideration and respect for others.” – Toddthmpsn

“When I was younger I would get my hair cut by a woman named Liz. She spoke Spanish so it was hard for to understand her English sometimes. My dad spoke Spanish so would translate for her and me. I noticed Liz looked a little different then other women. But I never said anything, I never felt any differently about her. She never scared me, or made me question anything. She was just Liz. As I got older I realized she was a trans woman. And it literally changed nothing. She was still just Liz. Liz was always kind and treated everyone warmly. I havnt seen her in years but I hope she is doing well. I really liked her.” – PerplexedPoppy

“This literally happened to me as a child in the 80s. A cashier at a store we visited suddenly started dressing in a feminine style and it appeared that they were transitioning. My mom explained to me in an age appropriate way that sometimes people decide they want to be a man instead of a woman, or a woman instead of a man. She told me that people would probably be mean to the cashier and it was important for us to remember that and always be polite to her, as we would anyway. This was way before trans issues were as mainstream as they are now, but my mom had seen an episode of Phil Donahue where transwoman discussed their stories, and she recognized it as a medical issue. Core memory for me.” – ZipCity262

“As a trans woman, im deathly afraid whenever I have to go to rural areas. I can instantly feel physical tension when I walk into a gas station or a restaurant in these areas. Thank you for being supportive. Trans people need you now more than ever.” – rainbow_lenses

It really is a simple matter to accept people as they are and treat all humans with dignity, kindness and respect, even if we don’t fully understand them. And as this dad and son show, it’s a simple matter to demonstrate non-judgmental acceptance in front of our kids so they hopefully will grow up without being bound by chains of bigotry they’ll later have to learn to unload.

Canadian man captures the ‘one in a million’ moment when a moose sheds both its antlers

For those not well versed in moose facts, the shedding of antlers is normally a fairly lengthy process. It happens only once a year after mating season and usually consists of a moose losing one antler at a time.

It’s incredibly rare for a bull moose to lose both at the same time—and even more rare that someone would actually catch it on film.

That’s why shed hunter (yes, that’s a real term) and woodsman Derek Burgoyne calls his footage of the phenomenon a “one-in-a-million” shot.


According to The Guardian, Burgoyne was flying his drone through a remote patch of forest in Canada when he spotted three moose in a clearing. His drone followed one of the bulls, who began doing the wobbly little shake thing that signals these antlers are going bye-bye.

Burgoyne knew he had to keep his camera on the moment—but he had no idea that he’d hit the jackpot.

Watch below:

It’s hard to tell which is more fun to watch— the super rare moment in nature or Burgoyne’s pure passion for his hobby.

“I shook a little bit. It was an adrenaline rush for sure,“ he told CBC News, sharing that he has previously found hundreds of shed antlers in his life.

Antler hunting has become a hot and profitable pastime over the past few years, although Burgoyne affirms that his shed hunting ambitions are born from a desire for well-being, not monetary gain.

“I enjoy being in the woods. It’s great exercise and it’s fun tracking the moose through the winter and looking for their sheds in the spring. Each one you find feels like the first one. It never gets old,” he told The Guardian.

Well Derek Burgoyne, thank you for doing what you love. Thanks to your passion, we too can share this once-in-a-lifetime moment. Here’s to good moose news!

‘All American’ Season 6: Everything We Know About The New Season (Update For December 2023)

'All American' Spencer 505
CW

If there’s one thing fans of All American want for Christmas, it’s an official premiere date for the show’s sixth season. It’s been over a year since the show concluded its fifth season, and with most of the cast back for season six (minus Taye Diggs’ Coach Baker), fans are itching for a new round of episodes. There isn’t much information on season six at the moment, so in the meantime, allow us to tell you everything to know for All American season six.

When Is Season 6 Of All American Coming Out?

The bad news is there isn’t an exact date for All American season six. The good news is it should be arriving sooner rather than later. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that CW was aiming for an April 2024 premiere date. The release of the new season was delayed due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which also affected All American: Homecoming season three. As you know by now, the strikes are over and production for both series should be nearing completion, if not already complete.

Who Is In The All American Season 6 Cast?

The lone difference from season five will be the absence of Taye Diggs as Coach Baker who died in episode 12 of season five in a tragic bus accident. Additionally, new members for season six have not been announced yet. As for the remaining cast from season five, they are all expected to be in season six and they include Daniel Ezra as Spencer James, Bre-Z as Tamia “Coop” Cooper, Greta Onieogou as Layla Keating, Samantha Logan as Olivia Baker, Michael Evans Behling as Jordan Baker, Cody Christian as Asher Adams, Karimah Westbrook as Grace James, Monét Mazur as Laura Fine-Baker, Jalyn Hall as Dillon James, Chelsea Tavares as Patience Robinson, Hunter Clowdus as JJ Parker, Mitchell Edwards as Cam Watkins, Simeon Daise as Jabari Long, Miya Horcher as Jaymee, and Morris Chestnut as Rick Barnes.

What is The All American Season 6 Plot?

The official plot for All American season six has not been revealed yet. Despite that, there are many plot lines from the end of season five that we can expect the show to continue. They include the aftermath of Patience being stabbed in the Baker house by her stalker Miko, Coop’s intentions of telling Patience her true feelings for her, Spencer and Olivia’s rekindled romance moments before her flight to London, Asher and Jaymee’s road to parenthood with a baby boy on the way, Jordan and Layla’s impending marriage, and how everyone recovers emotionally following ht death of Coach Baker.

There’s plenty to pick up on in season six, and knowing All American, there will also be some new drama in the upcoming season.

Is There An All American Season 6 Trailer?

No, there is no trailer for All American season six at the moment. When it arrives, we’ll make sure to share it with you.

How To Watch All American Season 6

If CW sticks to the plan that was in place for All American season five, new episodes in the sixth season of All American will premiere first on the CW channel. The following day, the episode will then be available to watch on the CW website and app. It’s also expected that All American season six will stream on Netflix once the season is complete.

When Will All American Season 6 Episodes Come Out?

When All American returns for season six, new episodes are expected to air on Mondays at 8 pm ET/PT on the CW channel. The following day at 3 pm ET/12 am PT, the new episode will then be uploaded to the CW website and app where it can also be watched.

‘All American’ season 5 is now available to stream on Netflix.

Queer Independent Artists Share The Albums That Helped Them Feel Seen

Queer Indie Artists
Merle Cooper/Via The Artist

Navigating life’s challenging moments, it’s common to seek solace in the power of music. The perfect combination of lyrics can make one feel understood, offering a comforting sense of validation. This holds particularly true for members of the LGBTQ community, whose initial encounters with queer representation often occur within the realms of entertainment, whether on-screen or through song.

“The baby lezzie in me was screaming to have a cultural icon to look up to,” dance artist Kaleena Zanders recalls seeing Queen Latifah’s music video for “U.N.I.T.Y.” for the first time. “I even wrote a letter to her using the address in the booklet of her CD, telling her how much she meant to me.”

We reached out to ten emerging LGBTQ artists to share the albums that helped them feel seen. Their responses spanned the spectrum of canonically queer classics from Frank Ocean and Lady Gaga to the unconventional allure of icons like Lil’ Kim: “Her bold style and sex-positive lyrics not only captivated me, but also inspired me to pursue my own passion for guy rapping,” hip-hop artist Hearthrob Robb shared of his hero.

Mercy Collazo

For fans of: Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu

After listening to Mercy Collazo’s catalog, it’s easy to hear why the Latina singer-songwriter describes her sound as something you’d hear in a Quentin Tarantino film. Her moody track “Flip It” could easily play over an especially brutal fight sequence, while her latest release, “Who’s Winning,” sounds like a hero emerging from the bloody aftermath while the credits roll.

Check out: “Who’s Winning,” “Flip It”

The album that made her feel seen:

There’s so many albums that made me feel some type of way, but it started with Mazzy Star’s Tonight That I Might See album. I was signed to a label at sixteen and I remember being in my manager’s SUV when “Fade Into You” came on the radio. I screamed when he tried to change it and fell into a trance listening to this ethereal, folky sound. When he dropped me off, he asked if I was ok because he could clearly see how moved I was.

That led me to discover the band’s vocalist, Hope Sandoval, and her other band, Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions. Their song “Suzanne” always made me smirk. There’s a line, “And she looks just like my sister / But she feels just like my man.” To be clear, I wasn’t down for any incestuous vibes! But I got what she was saying; almost like a hidden crush, hinting that there were some queer things going on. I loved it.

Shea Diamond

For fans of: Tina Turner, Lizzo

Fans of HBO’s drag makeover series We’re Here will recognize Shea Diamond’s booming voice from the show’s anthemic theme song “I Am America.” The transgender singer is a bit of a genre chameleon; not only did she hold her own alongside rock superstars Tom Morello and Dan Reynolds on the high-octane collab “Stand Up,” but she explored jazz, disco, and rockabilly on this year’s covers EP, Memory Lane.

Check out: “I Am Her,” “Summertime”

The album that made her feel seen:

I would say that Aretha Franklin’s album Pride: A Deeper Love had a profound impact on awakening my queerness. The powerful lyrics and soulful melodies spoke to my own journey of self-discovery and embracing my authentic identity. Aretha’s message of love, pride, and acceptance resonated deeply within me, providing a soundtrack to empower me to embrace my true self.

Heartthrob Robb

For fans of: Tyler, the Creator, Megan Thee Stallion

A trailblazer in the queer hip-hop scene, Heartthrob Robb (formally known as ROB.B) took some time off before returning with this year’s dual releases “Manifesto” and “Make It Hot.” The latter track is inspired by the resilient spirit of the ballroom community and has vocal samples from the iconic documentary Paris Is Burning.

Check out: “Make It Hot,” “Manifesto”

The album that made him feel seen:

The album that had a profound impact on my journey of self-discovery is Hardcore by Lil Kim. I can vividly recall taking the eye-catching, bright pink CD from my sister’s collection, locking myself in my room, and playing it on repeat. From the very first lyrics, “I used to be scared of the dick / Now I throw lips to the shit,” I felt an immediate connection. As a young closeted gay man, it resonated deeply with my own experiences of embracing and understanding my sexuality. Her influence continues to shape my music to this day.

Glass Battles

For fans of: Nine Inch Nails, Muse

After wrapping last year’s stint as opener for Garbage’s tour, the industrial-pop artist has been plugging away at his sophomore album. If the record’s Wizard of Oz-inspired lead single “Emerald” is any indication, Glass Battles is headed for a darker, more cinematic sound.

Check out: “Emerald,” “Pfeiffer”

The album that made him feel seen:

For anyone that knows me this might be redundant, but the album that has had the most impact on me and my queerness is Version 2.0 by Garbage. It is a perfect album. I had already been a fan of their debut album, but I remember having MTV on in the summer when the video for “Push It” premiered. They’ve informed my creativity, my queerness, and definitive parts of my personality since I was introduced. To say it’s informed my work is also an understatement; they continue to inspire me.

Boyish

For fans of: Boygenius, Ethel Cain

Formed in 2016, alt-pop duo Boyish’s India Shore and Claire Altendahl met while attending Berklee College of Music. The pair’s latest EP, the airy, lo-fi Little Demon Boy, features a team-up with indie darling King Princess on the bittersweet “Kill Your Pain.”

Check out: “Split Up,” “Kill Your Pain”

The albums that made them feel seen:

India: Channel Orange was really the first thing I listened to where I was aware of the fact that it was a piece of queer art. It completely blew my mind, and paired with his letter on Tumblr, it really got the gay ball rolling for me.

A friend of mine introduced me to “Pink Matter” while we were in school. She was doodling the lyrics in her notebook and asked me if I knew where they were from. Looking back on it, I definitely had a crush on her, so it really comes full circle!

Claire: One of my favorite albums that awoke my queerness is By The Way, I Forgive You by Brandi Carlile. Brandi was one of the first artists I really loved. They played “The Story” constantly on one of my hometown radio stations in Minnesota and I used to sing it with my mom and sister growing up. She was one of the first queer people I was aware of, and seeing how much my mom loved her gave me so much confidence that it would be okay when I came out

I’ve now seen Brandi perform twice and she is one of my all-time favorite performers. I even got to take my mom to see her at the Minnesota State Fair this past summer which was a full-circle moment for us.

SNG

For fans of: Tove Lo, Troye Sivan

Los Angeles-based pop artist SNG has embraced his inner ho with his latest track, “Suddenly,” taking listeners along for a Grindr rendezvous: “Body to body in the dark / We can just meet up in your car / Breathe heavy.” Not only is the Laotian-American artist a singer-songwriter, but creates his own left-of-center visuals as well.

Check out: “Suddenly,” “maybeidontthinksobutithinksobutidoubtit”

The album that made him feel seen:

Spice by The Spice Girls – the holy grail of albums that turned my life into a glittery, high-kicking, platform shoe-wearing musical. It’s like each song was a sparkly, wake-up call to my inner diva. My cousins and I performed the entire album for our parents and naturally, choosing Ginger Spice was like claiming my rightful throne in the Queendom of Spice: the trendsetter, the sass-master, the fashion icon. It’s not just an album; it was my passport to world domination!

Gatlin

For fans of: Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan

Florida-raised, LA-based singer-songwriter Gatlin’s latest EP I Sleep Fine Now is an emotional exploration of the stages of grief. “You’re laughing in the face of someone who tried / That was my crime / Trying to love someone who’s dead inside,” she snarls on the gut-punching project highlight “How Do You Sleep At Night?”

Check out: “Really Funny,” “How Do You Sleep At Night?”

The album that made her feel seen:

This is basic as f*ck, but Lady Gaga’s Born This Way was just it for me. I was in middle school, still in my conservative, religious bubble where Lady Gaga was considered taboo. But I just gravitated to it and desired to be that free. Then as I started releasing music in college — as well as really stepping into my queerness — that was an album that allowed me to embrace all of my extra-ness.
Obviously “Born This Way” is such a gay anthem that makes me feel like I can conquer the whole ass world while crying and wearing my tallest pair of platform boots, but I also saw myself in “You and I” because of its hint of country twang.

Alto Moon

For fans of: Usher, Pharrell Williams

Inspired by the Afrofuturism aesthetic of artists like Janet Jackson and Janelle Monae, Atlanta-based Alto Moon’s Supernova is a forward-thinking pop album. Rather than catering to the drowsy, lackadaisical sound running rampant on editorial playlists, the singer-songwriter opted for a high-energy, electronic sound.

Check out: “Slide,” “Move”

The album that made him feel seen:

In the summer before my junior year of high school, I listened to the early leak of Frank Ocean’s Channel Orange. I vividly remember laying down and pretending to understand the metaphors in his lyrics, but I sat up when I heard the lyrics, “Forrest Gump, you run my mind boy.” It was the first time I heard a direct proclamation of admiration for a man, from the voice of another man — especially a black man — in an R&B song. From then on, I realized queer music wasn’t exclusively fast BPMs and club 808s. It could be soft, honest, look like me and sound like me.

Zee Machine

For fans of: MUNA, Adam Lambert

While many up-and-coming artists are finding their audiences through TikTok, it takes a special kind of talent to convert casual viewers into ticket-buying fans. Such is not the case with pop maestro Zee Machine; thanks to their undeniable vocal chops and charismatic stage presence, their latest Los Angeles set sold out.

Check out: “Thunder,” “The Radio”

The album that made him feel seen:

I truly believe that Life In Cartoon Motion saved my love of pop music. Having emerged from a period of time where my iPod rotation was dominated by classic rock guitars and dense prog rock, Mika tore through that the moment he climbed his stratospheric falsetto in the verse of “Love Today.” There was a part of me that was almost afraid to give into the technicolor bombast that he brought to every song. Giving us more of a modern-day Freddie Mercury than we had ever seen, looking back this was the first time I opened myself up to unpretentious queer joy in music.

Kaleena Zanders

For fans of: CeCe Peniston, Calvin Harris

Singer-turned-DJ Kaleena Zanders’ catalog is a love letter to the ’90s house movement of her youth. Her soaring vocals have been featured on collaborations with dance heavyweights like Shift K3Y, Chris Lake, and Matroda, among others.

Check out: “Vibration,” “Me Without U”

The album that made her feel seen:

One album that woke me up to my queerness was Queen Latifah’s 1993 Black Reign. I had first seen her music video for “U.N.I.T.Y” on MTV and I was hooked. I was drawn to her confidence and butch-like presence. She reeked of girl power and a celebration of queerness in the best way, and for that I thank Queen Latifah for helping me understand myself at an early age.

How Much Are Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 Low OG ‘Black Olive’ Sneakers?

travis scott 2023
Getty Image

Travis Scott dropped Utopia in late July, and he’s currently bringing his Utopia — Circus Maximus Tour across North America. He also possesses the key to every sneakerhead’s ultimate utopia every time he collaborates with Jordan Brand. In October, he unleashed the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low Golf Neutral Olive, and it would appear that he’s preparing another drop for around the same time next year.

The rumor mill was ignited by zSneakerHeadz sharing a “first look at the 2024 Travis Scott x Jordan 1 Low OG” in the “Black/Olive” colorway. The source also noted that Scott is eyeing a fall 2024 release.

That is all we know, and it’s not much. If this speculative information is correct, then the new pair will be in the same vein as the olive-colored Air Jordan 1 Low that arrived this April. According to the Nike listing, the Women’s Air Jordan 1 Low x Travis Scott “Medium Olive” retailed at $150, while the aforementioned “Neutral Olive” Air Jordan 1 Love Golf went for $170. It wouldn’t be totally off-base to use those prices to ballpark what the rumored Air Jordan 1 Low OG might cost you if/when it becomes available. (That is not to speak of the exorbitant prices on resale sites.)
