A wacky film based on a stage show by comedians Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp, Dicks: The Musical – a riff on The Parent Trap with two adult men as the starring twins — opens in seven theaters in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco on a crowded specialty weekend as theatrical releases of fall film festival titles accelerates. Dicks, from A24 and developed by Chernin Entertainment, is, according to press notes, a first “adult musical comedy” for both. (It’s Chernin’s second musical after hit The Greatest Showman.) Directed by Larry Charles (Seinfeld, Borat), it stars the two creators Jackson and Sharp as self-obsessed businessmen who discover…

In Paris, it’s nearly impossible to go within a one-mile radius without spotting a Sézane tote bag. The fashion brand, founded by Morgane Sézalory in 2013, is sort of like the French girl’s Madewell: ubiquitous, utilitarian, but undoubtedly trendy. Like French style, its wares are slightly more feminine—think: bows and florals and lady-like brocade sandals in colors like gold and rosy beige. Though Sézane began as an e-commerce enterprise, it has since expanded into brick-and-mortar locations, and each store is designed to feel like your chicest friend’s apartment on the Left Bank (not unlike Sézalory’s own home, recently profiled in…
There’s a killer on the loose, and they’re totally rocking the ’80s. Like, seriously! Amazon Prime Video’s newest slasher, Totally Killer, is a sci-fi horror-comedy that takes what we love of the ’80s and mixes it with a time travel twist. Think of it like a mix of Happy Death Day and Scream but in a B-movie VHS tape. Compared to those two slashers having a solid point of view, Totally Killer was just another slasher on the block. It was a bloody, fun ride, albeit a messy one with its B-horror movie characters and inconsistent plot. Totally Killer captures…
It’s no surprise that most men want the best pine cologne in their repertoire. Crisp, coniferous, and fresh, a spritz of piney goodness will make you feel like you just took a long, invigorating walk through a cool forest.I think men are drawn to colognes with woody notes like pine, cedar, and fir because they feel inherently masculine. They embody what it means to be solid and reliable, all while maintaining that sensual side. They conjure up images of exploration in the great outdoors, or the coziness of curling up with your loved ones at Christmas. All that lovely poetry…

Basement ring: the laser gyroscope. (Courtesy: K Ulrich Schreiber et al/Nature Photonics) After 30 years of painstaking development, researchers in Germany and New Zealand have unveiled a laser gyroscope that can track fluctuations in Earth’s rotation in near real time and accurate to several milliseconds. The technique is much simpler than current methods and could provide further insights into phenomena that cause the fluctuations – such as shifts in ocean currents. The Earth rotates once in one day, but there are tiny fluctuations in the rate and direction of our planet’s rotation. Some of these fluctuations are well understood –…
Fall is a huge release season for books. Indie bookstores across the country are jam packed with new titles, and every Tuesday, even more hit the shelves. It’s an exciting time for publishers, booksellers, and readers alike, but so many new books can also mean it’s hard to know where exactly to turn your attention. What lead titles live up to their hype? Who are the debut authors you won’t want to miss? Which literary novel will speak to your very specific brand of autumn ennui? There’s a lot to consider when it comes to fall reading, but luckily indie…
