The Brooklyn Nets have had a wild past few years, having signed Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, traded for James Harden, traded away James Harden, traded away Kyrie Irving, and finally traded away Kevin Durant.
As they get set for the 2023-24 season, they are finally moving past their efforts at creating a superteam and going back to a more traditional team-building model, with the talent they got in return for those stars as the focal point moving forward. Mikal Bridges is the most notable of those, along with Cam Johnson who got handsomely paid this offseason to return to Brooklyn, as they were the main prizes from the Durant trade to Phoenix. Those two along with Nic Claxton make up the presumptive Nets core at the moment, but that leaves out their highest paid player, Ben Simmons.
Simmons has only played in 42 games over the past two years after holding out from Philadelphia while waiting to be traded, then suffering a back injury that kept him out the entire year once traded to Brooklyn for Harden. This past season he appeared in 42 games, averaging 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.1 assists per game before again being shut down in February. As has become a seemingly annual occurrence, Ben Simmons workout footage has popped up this summer as he gets back on the court, but most NBA observers are in a “believe it when I see it” mode with Simmons ever getting back close to the level he once reached as a three-time All-Star.
However, the only people that matter for Simmons are those in Brooklyn right now, and he can at least fall back on the support of his teammates, led by Bridges. Mikal joined Paul George on the latest Podcast P and explained why he’s a big believer in Simmons having a bounce back year, while also noting Simmons has a great relationship with his current teammates.
“He’s the one talking in the chat all the time and we all f**k with him.”

This is some very good leadership from Bridges to go out and publicly support Simmons, because that’s the kind of environment he needs. As Bridges notes, he wants Simmons to know they’re going to have his back and like him no matter what ups and downs he goes through on the court, clearly understanding that the battle Simmons faces in returning to form is as much mental as physical. The rest of the basketball world can be skeptical, but as long as the Nets provide that support for Simmons and show him their belief in him, he just might be able to find his rhythm and comfort on the floor again.

This past weekend, The Walking Dead: Dead City wrapped up the throwback spinoff’s debut season, for which (via a press release) the audience has been “growing with each successive week to date.” Those viewers tuned into watch Maggie pull a fast one on Negan, too. The mad mama recovered her son, Hershel, and she also unloaded Negan into the (figurative) arms of The Croat. He, in turn, passed Negan to the mysterious Dama, who appeared to be a fan of Negan’s morbidly bombastic ways. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has gone on record with Entertainment Weeklyto declare, “I think he thinks he’s f—ed.”
Will we see how “f*cked” Negan really ends up being? Oh yes. AMC had a slew of announcements at San Diego Comic-Con, and that includes word that not only will Dead City receive a second season, but so will The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon, which won’t even debut until September 10. Still, the footage that AMC has released thus far looks promising (and Daryl will have a crossbow again, thank god). He will wash ashore and feel puzzled about how he has arrived in France, and although he might not ride a motorcycle, he will encounter sadistic nuns. At Comic-Con, AMC revealed this atmospheric trailer:
Additionally, the Rick Grimes and Michonne spinoff received a red-toned teaser as well as an official title — The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live — that will bring back plenty of final-season memories for TWD fans. Finally, we’re seeing some vibes beyond lovey-dovey ones, which I appreciate. No offense to Rick Grimes and his dumb decisions, but there is nothing else as iconic in this franchise like Michonne and her sword. Enjoy:
The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon will be on his way to Crossbow City on September 10.
Tom Brady has retired from football, but he seems to be enjoying free agency. The seven-time Super Bowl champion was recently linked to Kim Kardashian following his split from Gisele Bündchen, but they’re “just friends.” Instead, he’s supposedly seeing model Irina Shayk, after they were spotted spending the weekend together.
TMZ reports that Brady and Shayk were seen “apparently cozying up in L.A. over the course of two days — which all started on Friday, when we’re told he first picked her up at Hotel Bel-Air in the afternoon… only to drive her over to his crib. Our sources tell us Tom and Irina walked into his pad — all smiles — and that she didn’t leave his place until the following morning at about 9:30.”
The “sleepover” has since been confirmed to be officially dating.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Tom Brady and Irina Shayk are indeed dating. We’re told they met in June at the wedding of billionaire art heir Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick in Sardinia. Our sources say “A number of models were hitting on Tom, and Irina was one of them,” although her rep denies it.
Shayk previously appeared in the music video for “Power” by… Kim Kardashian’s ex, Kanye West. Somehow, all celebrity gossip circles back to Kanye and/or Kim.
Spotify treats listeners to customized “Spotify Wrapped” lists toward the end of every year, but a company like Spotify doesn’t place an annual limitation on innovation. A few months after Spotify Pie, something called “n-gen” is providing another way to visualize a listener’s listening habits.
The n-gen website explains, “See how your listening habits have evolved over time, and how your favorite artists and genres have changed by creating new artwork from your favorite playlists and your listening habits.”
The four visual examples are a DNA-like strand connecting most-listened-to artists with compatible traits (i.e., Drake linked to energy or SZA to danceability), a “Top Ten” chart to “show off the shape of your top songs and genres,” a flower in bloom created from playlist data, and a pattern derived from chords found in most-listened-to songs.
The steps toward your special “n-gen” art are fairly simple and play directly into most everybody’s appetite for instant gratification.
Once on the website, you’re presented with the option to “Create With Spotify.” Clicking that prompts to connect your Spotify account to n-gen, which allows n-gen-art to access specific Spotify account data as well as Spotify activity. (Access can be revoked at any time within your Spotify account.) Should you grant that access, you’re redirected back to n-gen’s website and can apply your data to the aforementioned four visual templates.
In June 2022, I asked if Barbie was the most important movie of 2023. It was a joke at the time, but like Homer predicting the size of Bart’s comet, I was kind of right? I’m scared, too. Barbie, which has a 90 percent “Fresh” rating among critics on Rotten Tomatoes, opened to $162 million at the domestic box office this weekend. That’s the biggest debut weekend for a female filmmaker ever; paired with Oppenheimer’s equally-impressive $82.4 million opening, it’s also the first time where one movie earned $100 million or more and another made $50 million or more in the same weekend ever.
But I didn’t know all that when I decided to do one Barbie-related activity every day for nine days, leading up to (and past) the release of the film. I was just excited to see the new Greta Gerwig movie starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Would I feel the same way after a week-plus of pink, beaches, and Dua Lipa and Charli XCX songs? Come on, Barbie, let’s read on.
Day 1, July 14th, Friday
As part of arguably the biggest promotional push for a movie since 1989’s Batman, Warner Bros. threw a Barbie-themed party at the Fairmont Hotel in Austin, Texas. Upon getting off the elevator, I was greeted with a standee where you could get your picture taken while posing in a cardboard box like Barbie. This would be a frequent photo opp throughout the week. Inside the bar, there were Barbie drinks (I ordered the “She’s Everything” with vodka and sparkling rosé), Barbie towels, and pink Barbie cowboy hats. The Barbie soundtrack was playing, along with Barbie-adjacent songs like a dizzying remix of “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift. It had major bachelorette party vibes, down to the bar being attached to an outdoor pool.
The crowd was predominantly women, but the number of men wasn’t insignificant. Robbie, Gosling, Gerwig, and most of all, the Barbie marketing team have done a remarkable job of convincing the kind of people who still wonder “can boys own a Barbie or two?” that this is one of the must-see movies of 2023. To quote the trailer: “If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you.” It turns out, Barbie is for everyone.
Day 2, July 15th, Saturday
I didn’t feel my age when I, someone in my 30s, ordered the Barbie-inspired “All That Glitters is Pink” from Cold Stone Creamery. But I did feel it afterwards. Adult me and sugar get along about as well as Tom Cruise and streaming services, so I had a hard time getting through my “Like It” (read: small) cup. The cotton candy ice cream mixed with graham cracker crust, whipped cream, and “dance party” sprinkles wasn’t bad or anything (and complaining about something at Cold Stone being too sugary is like returning movie theater popcorn for having too much butter), but it wasn’t for me.
Unlike the “Barbie Land Berry Pink” cup at Pinkberry. I wasn’t looking forward to another treat so soon after the Cold Stone stop, but I liked this one a lot more. It was smoother, and the “dream” sprinkles added crunchy texture to the refreshing blend of strawberry and dragon fruit-flavored frozen yogurt.

That’s Cold Stone on the left and Pinkberry (and the roof of my dirty car) on the right.
Between my Cold Stone and Pinkberry stops, I went to the mall and saw a Barbie advertisement inside Hot Topic. I’d like to say this was my first trip to Hot Topic since I was a pretended-to-love-Pierce the Veil-but-was-actually-listening-to-Dave Matthews Band teen, but then I would be lying. You never know when you’re going to need a half-priced Mr. Meeseeks Funko pop, y’know? Anyway, I went over to the ad expecting to find Barbie merch, but there was nothing. It was attached to a stand with My Hero Academia and Hello Kitty products, but nothing for Barbie. This is blatant false advertisement, Hot Topic. I’m taking my business somewhere more reputable (Spencer’s).
Day 3, July 16th, Sunday
One of the more popular tourist destinations in Austin is the “I love you so much” mural on the side of Jo’s Coffee. I used to live across the street from the coffee shop, and there was no time of day where I wouldn’t see people taking selfies in front of the green wall.
This week, “I love you so much” was changed to “Barbie, I love you so much – Ken,” with the two names written in the twirly, pink Barbie font. I thought about swinging by the mural in my “From Director Greta Gerwig” shirt during my morning run, until I remembered it was already over 90 degrees outdoors. Then I considered swinging by the mural in a more lightweight shirt during an afternoon run, until, again, I remembered it was now 100 freaking degrees outdoors. So, I drove by it to take a picture instead and didn’t run. Do you guys ever think about dying? I do every time I step out into the Texas summer heat.

Day 4, July 17th, Monday
I’m excited for Barbie the movie, but outside of Toy Story 3 and 4, I have no strong feelings toward Barbie the doll either way. I am Barbie-neutral. But I remember the thrill I felt as a kid walking down the toy aisle of K-Mart when the shelves were stocked with Power Rangers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles junk, and wondered if I could tap into that toy-based nostalgia.
Of course, K-Mart barely exists anymore, so I went to Target instead. Here’s a partial of the products and brands I saw in the toy aisle: Bluey, Pokémon, Peppa Pig, Disney Junior, Sesame Street, Doc McStuffins, Dreamworks’ Gabby’s Dollhouse, Spider-Man, Jurassic World, Dino Ranch, a Target employee watching me closely, Paw Patrol, Lego, Harry Potter, O.M.G. Outrageous Millennial Girls, Baby Alive, Cry Babies, Lil’ Woodzeez, Care Bears, Polly Pockets, Zombaes, another Target employee, so much Frozen, Rainbow High, Monster High, My Little Pony, Hot Wheels, two full aisles of Legos, Mega Bloks, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sonic, Mario, Minecraft, Star Wars, Nerf guns, uh oh the two Target employees are gesturing in my direction.
It’s at this point I should have moved to a different aisle. Instead, I doubled back to where the Barbies were being held captive in their plastic prisons. For journalism.
The Barbies and their various accessories, settings, and modes of transportation were chaotically arranged on the shelves. Barbie’s Coffee Shop was nowhere near Barbie’s Bakery, but it was next to Barbie’s collection of pets. Further down, Yoga Barbie (“six guided meditations!”) was on an entirely different shelf than Face Mask Spa Day Barbie. There was also Fast Cast Clinic Barbie, Soccer Barbie, Mermaid Power Barbie, and Horse-Riding Chelsea, who is apparently Barbie’s younger sister. Barbie truly can be anything, as long as you don’t mind crouching to look at the bottom shelf.
Day 5, July 18th, Tuesday
I decided to take things easy today… by going to a “Barbie Summer Party” on Austin’s party street. The Red Bull and vodka drinks were sticky; the boy band, girl group, and 2000s mall punk anthems were blasting; and the crowd was a mix of tattooed couples wearing black and women wearing their finest and often smallest pink dresses. I am convinced Barbie is going to make $1 billion.
Day 6, July 19th, Wednesday
What if I hated the Barbie movie? That would be a real kick in the pants for someone doing a week of Barbie-related events (and the week isn’t over yet). Luckily, I liked it. A lot. It’s fun, colorful, and looks great. The MVP of the movie isn’t Robbie or Gosling or Issa Rae or Matchbox Twenty, although they’re fantastic; it’s the production design team. But as much as I enjoyed Barbie, the thing I like even more is opening up the Alamo Drafthouse or AMC app and seeing sold-out screening after sold-out screening. I know a lot of people who haven’t seen a movie in a theater since before the pandemic. But between Barbie and Oppenheimer and to a certain degree Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One (a very good film that had the misfortune of coming out when it did), people are finally returning to [Vin Diesel voice] da movies.
Day 7, July 20th, Thursday
Another day, another Barbie party. This time, it was at Pinballz, a local chain with arcade games, rides, and, as you might expect, pinball machines. I am terrible at pinball, but the siren song of Shrek pinball calls to me every time. If only I had an extra $6,010 – $6,990 to spare. Instead, I spent that money on pink cocktails this week.
There is no Barbie machine at Pinballz (only a costume contest and a lot of White Claws), but maybe there will be now. By 2024, you’ll see Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling next to Chunk and Peter Griffin in barcades across the nation. Could slot machines be next? At least give us an Allan whac-a-mole.
Day 8, July 21st, Friday
Denny’s Hobbit Menu is the GOAT of fast food/chain restaurant tie-in meals, but let’s say, in another timeline, the Hobbit Hole Breakfast never existed. It sometimes feels this way, like the Smaug’s Fire Burger was a beautiful dream. But in this dark alternate reality, would Burger King’s Barbie Burger have a chance at becoming the new favorite among pop culture/greasy food fanatics?
I’m not sure, because I don’t live in Brazil. That’s the only market where the Barbie Burger is available. But I’ve seen the photos, and I replicated one for myself at home. It’s pretty simple to make: the official copy reads, “The Pink Burger, from the BK Barbie Combo, comes in a fluffy brioche bun, high and juicy meat, a slice of melted cheddar cheese, the amazing smoked pink sauce, and crispy diced bacon.” (The combo includes Ken’s Potato, a.k.a. fries, and a Barbie donut shake.) I left out the bacon because I don’t eat pork products, but the brioche bun? Check. Burger, made with ground chuck according to a copycat recipe? Check. Melted cheddar cheese? Check. Smoky pink sauce? I couldn’t find what BK’s “smoked pink sauce” is made out of, so I used the cursed Pink Sauce made famous by TikTok with a teaspoon of liquid smoke.
The Pink Sauce, which tasted like Thousand Island dressing, was fine. I wouldn’t buy it again, but it worked well with the smoke (or, more likely, the smoke subdued the Pink Sauce). My burger didn’t look anything like the Burger King Barbie Burger — that Pepto Bismol pink shouldn’t exist in nature — but I had to take a photo because look at how cute Lil’ Margot and Lil’ Ryan are.

Where were the Barbie Happy Meal toys?
Day 9, July 22nd, Saturday
My week in Barbie Land ended with — what else? — a party. Superstition, a nightclub near downtown Austin, threw a Barbie bash where attendees were invited to wear their favorite Barbie-themed outfits. There was a lot of pink on the dance floor (with music provided by all-female DJs), and at least one guy dressed in Ken’s instantly iconic denim look. But my favorite outfit belonged to a woman wearing a “Greta Gerwig” shirt from Girls on Tops.
It made me think of Gerwig’s pre-Lady Bird days when she was part of the mumblecore scene. Imagine telling someone in 2007 walking out of Hannah Takes the Stairs that in 2023, Gerwig would direct a Barbie movie. And not only would it be good, but it also would inspire people to wear a shirt with her name on it to a bottle service nightclub. It’s not what I expected when Gerwig was announced to the project, or even when I started my adventure in Barbie Land, but this Barbie is full of surprises. Another surprise: I still like the color pink.
The last time Cardi B and Offset shared the stage at Rolling Loud, the circumstances were a bit different. Back in December 2018, Offset crashed Cardi B’s set at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles after she’d reportedly filed for divorce. Although the move was criticized at the time as it came in the wake of the #MeToo movement and vocal critiques of “love bombing,” the bid was succesful; since then, Cardi and Set have been one of hip-hop’s highest-profile couples.
This time around, Cardi joined Offset at Rolling Loud Miami, where they performed the Migos hit “Motorsport” and their collab, “Clout.”
While the couple’s relationship has turned around in more recent years, that isn’t to say that it’s without its bumps — which are just as often generated by nosy fans looking for signs of new fractures. In June, fans believed that Offset accused Cardi of cheating, although from this writer’s perspective, it looked very much like a misinterpretation of Offset’s use of AAVE. The couple is due to appear together again along with their kids Kulture and Wave in Baby Shark’s Big Movie reprising the fishy versions of themselves from a previous episode that aired in the show’s last season. From what it looks like, their bond is as strong as ever, and the collaborative album they’ve been talking about releasing doesn’t seem to be in any particular danger of cancellation.
Doja Cat sometimes has a bit of a combative relationship with her fans. Over the weekend, for example, she took exception to her fans adopting the name “kitten” or “kittenz,” posting on Threads, “If you call yourself a ‘kitten’ or f*cking ‘kittenz’ that means you need to get off your phone and get a job and help your parents with the house.” Now, some fans are fighting back: Pop Crave notes that some Doja fan accounts on Twitter, some of which have tens of thousands of followers, are now deactivated, seemingly in protest.
Doja Cat’s top fan pages are deactivating their accounts after she criticized supporters for calling themselves ‘Kittenz’. pic.twitter.com/Zy54M3y2ZS
This comes after one fan requested, “I wanna hear you say (I do love you guys) As usual you say to your fans,” and Doja replied, “i don’t though cuz i don’t even know yall.” Somebody else responded, “and we don’t know you. but we have supported you through thick and thin. mind you you’d be NOTHING without us. you’d be working at a grocery store making songs on f*cking garage band miss high school drop out…” Doja replied, “nobody forced you idk why you’re talking to me like you’re my mother b*tch you sound like a crazy person.”
Doja Cat responds to fans asking if she can say she loves them:
Gen V, the first official spinoff for The Boys, just dropped a new teaser trailer that offers the deepest look yet at the highly-anticipated series. Centered around a group of college-aged Supes, the show will follow Marie Moreau (Jaz Sinclair), an ambitious young freshman who hopes to become the first Black woman in The Seven.
As just one of the students attending Godolkin University under the watchful eye of Vought International, Marie will ideally hone her powers in hopes of one day working side-by-side with Homelander. Of course, giving a bunch of hormonal college students superpowers is never a good idea. Marie soon finds herself ensnared in the bloody underbelly of what being a Supe is really like.
Here’s the official synopsis:
From the world of The Boys comes Gen V. Young, aspiring heroes have their physical and moral boundaries put to the test while competing for Godolkin University’s highly coveted top ranking. When the university’s dark secrets come to light, the students must come to grips with what type of heroes they are going to become.
In addition to Sinclair, Gen V also stars Chance Perdomo, Lizze Broadway, Shelley Conn, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Sean Patrick Thomas, Marco Pigossi, Clancy Brown, Alexander Calvert and Jason Ritter. The Boys stars Jessie T. Usher, Colby Minifie, Claudia Doumit, and P.J. Byrne will also drop in to check on the college-based mayhem.
Gen V premieres September 29 on Amazon Prime Video.
According to the National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), more than 200,000 moviegoers will attend same-day viewings of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” across theaters in North America this weekend.
There are several reasons contributing to this cultural phenomenon. For one thing, viewers are pretty much guaranteed to not get bored. Whether you choose to wash down Christopher Nolan’s darkly captivating biopic with Greta Gerwig’s all-pink meta fever dream, or reverse that order, you’ll go on a cinematic ride.
Plus, the aggressive marketing of both films, the memes that have taken over the internet and the fact that there’s an opportunity for costumes has transformed the twin debut from a movie premiere into a bona fide moment viewers can get creative participating in, adding more to the thrill of it all.
And while Barbenheimer’s popularity might appear to be a lightning in a bottle situation, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s something we’ve been collectively yearning for for quite a while.
Double features first made their debut in the 1930s to counter the box-office slump of the Depression-era. Theaters attempted to attract financially strapped moviegoers with all kinds of gimmicks like trivia, bingo nights and special giveaways, but ultimately it was two tickets for the price of one that got people into seats.
Those going to a double feature would start off the night seeing trailers, news, a cartoon or short film, then a big-budget A-film followed by a low-budget B-film. Again, guaranteed variety.
Eventually, double features became too complicated to pull off—it was hard to create a lineup that pleased a wide audience, not to mention there were ever-evolving legal woes with distribution rights—and by the 1960s, they were already part of a bygone era.
That said, there have since been some epic double features that made box office history, such as “Elf” and “Love Actually” during the holiday season of 2003, “10 Things I Hate About You” and “The Matrix” and the ultimate prelude to Barbenheimer: “Dark Knight” and “Mama Mia.”
This doesn’t take into account all the times you might have snuck into a neighboring theater as a kid to enjoy your own customized double viewing experience.
All this to say: Even in a world (and yes, please imagine this sentence being read by Don LaFontaine) where it’s so much easier to stay at home to stream a film, moments like Barbenheimer, and all the other modern-day double features mentioned, still bring people to the theater.
Why? Because they remind us what makes moviegoing so magical in the first place.
The sensation of being in a packed theater with other friends, new and old, each buzzing with excitement. Feasting on popcorn and those “aha” moments that come from seeing two entirely different stories. Going through a quick costume change to stay within the movie theme. Gathering afterwards to dish on which flick was everyone’s favorite. Being so tired at work the next day but regretting nothing. These are experiences that can’t be duplicated through social media.
It seems clear that people are not tired of theaters but of mediocrity. What we are wanting instead is originality, novelty, an escape from reality and real connection. If an afternoon of period dramas and fantasy comedies can help with this, why not have more of these opportunities?
