It’s Zoë Kratiz‘s directorial debut! Plus, she co-wrote the script! This psychological thriller is trippy with surprise easter eggs and toxic male frat-boy energy. Handsome tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites cater waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) to join him on his private jet for a dream vacation with his friends on his private island after they first meet at his annual charity gala. Sun-drenched days with champagne overflowing are followed by psychedelic drug-fueled nights on this island paradise even though it is overrun with snakes, so much so that a staffer is tasked with catching them daily. It’s all fun and games for the ladies until odd bruises appear and guests disappear. Frida must uncover the truth if she hopes to see another shift as a cater-waitress. It’s so good that I will do something I rarely do. Watch it a second time. It’s in theaters now. Note: The movie contains sexual violence against women, so a trigger warning has been issued by its production company.

Coco Gauff Merch
This is the start of the US Open, our chance to catch up with Coco Gauff and wish her a winning season. We caught up with her at the New Balance Experience on West 23rd Street. We had a chance to hang with our girl, experience a few of her favorite things and check out her latest merchandise.
“I would say the Bose open earbuds are really cool. It feels like the music or the sound is being played inside your head, but you can still hear everything that’s going on outside your head.” So says Coco Gauff, and who are we to disagree? These buds are lightweight yet securely fit on your ears. The sound quality is excellent, and they come in our favorite shade of eggshell blue. Price: $299
New Balance’s second iteration of Coco Gauff’s iconic tennis shoe, the Coco CG2, expertly blends off-court details and cutting-edge underfoot technology for the ideal balance of performance and style. Reflecting the dynamic nature of Coco’s game, the CG2 style update embodies the progression of her characteristic line. We love them! $159.00
