In the summer?! Have you gone fully round the bend?!? That, right there, is the kind of response we sometimes receive when suggesting the reasonable idea that the warm weather doesn't mean you have to give up your beloved boots for an entire season. Instead of stompers and shit-kickers, you should be opting for lightweight, ankle-high options like chukka boots and low-slung Chelseas. Hiking boots? Damn good summer boots. Ditto that for desert boots, Wallabees, and even classic plain-toe lace-ups, provided they don't climb too high up your shins. Options abound, and you should feel free to try 'em all.

The right pair of shorts will take virtually any summer outfit and render it actually comfortable. Forget about sweating through your favorite tee-and-camp-collar-shirt combo. Abandon all anxiety about overheating while simply popping down the corner for a (cold brew) coffee. Just wear some damn shorts. Let your calves breathe, and maybe even let your thighs get in on the action while you're at it. Because right now, we're in a golden age of shorts. Styles ranging from the leg-baring 5-inch inseam to longer, more voluminous options that borrow from basketball shorts and fashion shorts alike are on the table (proverbially speaking; literally speaking, they should be on your legs).

But today we're talking about Everlane's chore coat, because it just released and is already selling like hotcakes. Everlane's addition to the canon is cut from denim, which isn't a game-changing move so much as a nice update for a garment that's usually done in canvas. It has a little stretch, so you can move in it. And instead of the bog-standard "three outer pockets, one inner pocket" setup, it features a fourth outer flap pocket. Same total storage, but a bit more of a contemporary vibe (plus a little extra security from the flap). Should you be in need of a new spring jacket—and aren't we all always in need of a new spring jacket?—this one is going to serve you well.

Logan says Abagnale's version of things—and the movie's narrative—might be his greatest con. Using public records and interviews, Logan outlines a very different story in The Greatest Hoax on Earth: Catching Truth, While We Can. "What really happened was that, dressed as a TWA (Trans World Airlines) pilot, which he only did for a few weeks, [Abagnale] befriended a flight attendant called Paula Parks," Logan told WHYY podcast The Pulse. "He followed her all over the Eastern Seaboard, identified her work schedule through deceptive means, and essentially stalked the woman."

First of all, you might've heard that the service is home to every minute of the four-hour-long Snyder Cut, which is more than worth the watch, even if it's just to say that you survived it. Plus, in this year alone, HBO Max has already seen Godzilla and Kong pummel each other and the Mortal Kombat fighters rip each other's guts out. Even further down the line? We'll see the wonderful reunion of the Toon Squad in Space Jam: A New Legacy. Of course, HBO Max has a more-than-solid back-catalog, too, featuring loads of sci-fi, classic cinema, sports documentaries, and Studio Ghibli (!). It's all here. If you need more convincing, know that Mechagodzilla, Arrietty, Jesus Shuttleworth, Frodo, David Byrne, and Ma (from the movie Ma), all make cameos on this list. It's beautiful. It's weird. It's great. Now read up—and watch all of the best movies on HBO Max.
