| How to entertain yourself this weekend. |
Things are looking a little crazy out there, but at least there’s not a fast-zombie outbreak in progress—that we know of, anyway. —Alex Pappademas, culture editor |

It’s Friday, and if our increasingly pre-apocalyptic-seeming historical moment has you in the mood for some post-apocalyptic entertainment—or if you’ve just got zombies on the braaaaaiiiiiiiiin—you’re in luck; Danny Boyle and Alex Garland, the original zombsters behind 28 Days Later, have returned with 28 Years Later, in which England is still beset by the living dead and Ralph Fiennes is buff and mad and red. Per GQ UK’s Jack King, it’s less of a horror movie and more of “a coming-of-age film about one kid's loss of adolescent innocence, albeit in a world inhabited by rage-infected psychos.” If you’ve already seen the film and found yourself puzzled by one particular aspect of the ending, we’ve got an (spoileriffic, obviously) explainer right here. And speaking of zombies, Laura Wynne weighs in today with a rundown of the 20 best zombie movies of all time, from the 1940s to present day.
In other, living-people news from this week: Kieran Reynolds jetted to Cupertino to get a first look at Apple’s iOS 26, "whose 'Liquid Glass' interface seems to indicate a desire, on Apple's part, 'to make a continuous experience: a world where everything syncs up across your various devices and where the functional element of the phone is now out of the way, so the screen can become wall-to-wall digital media superimposed on a dematerialized world. Almost like there’s no device between you and your content.”
Tap In columnist Frazier Tharpe singled out one great moment from Materialists , while Jesse Hassenger wondered if Celine Song’s divisive new rom-com is secretly a horror film. Alessandra Schade profiled Tuxedo Society, a club that teaches its members how to live like aristocrats, even if it’s just for the ‘gram. Raymond Ang caught up with The Gilded Age’s “Train Daddy,” Morgan Spector. Jake Kring-Schriefels talked to Sam Rockwell about that White Lotus scene. And Pusha T shared some constructive criticism of Travis Scott.
Plus, we talked to a spinal surgeon about what Benson Boone’s favorite stage stunt may be doing to his body long-term, ran down the culinary memoirs and novels you should read if you can’t wait for Season 4 of The Bear to drop next week, and tipped you to the imminent release of a long-lost Bruce Springsteen album that ranks with the Boss’s best work. —AP
