  • The Agony and the Ecstasy of Euphoria
    May 7 2026

    When Sam Levinson's vibey, drug-inflected high school show Euphoria premiered in 2019, it took the Internet by storm and quickly became the most-watched show on HBO Max — and most-memed show on social media — despite mixed reviews. But in the four years since the show's second season, rumors of off-screen chaos, as well as confirmed exits from cast and creatives, have made fans nervous. So, how does the long-awaited Season 3 hold up to expectations? Rebecca and John are joined by VF Senior Staff Writer Max Adler to discuss the high highs and weird lows.

  • Zendaya Is the Moment. Here's Why.
    Apr 23 2026

    In an age of handwringing about the lack of "real movie stars," Zendaya has entered the chat in style. The multi-hyphenate star is having a packed 2026, with the already-released Euphoria and The Drama — not to mention her high-profile collab with stylist Law Roach and sportswear brand On — and three of the year's most-anticipated blockbusters (Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Odyssey, and Dune: Part Three). And we're still excited to see her every time, both on screen and on the red carpet. So what makes Zendaya such a star of the moment? Rebecca and John are joined by Staff Writer Chris Murphy and Style Correspondent José Criales-Unzueta to get into it.
