It's been four days since he returned from filming the final scenes of the fourth season of Succession, which its creator, Jesse Armstrong, recently announced will be its last. It marks the end of a transformative time for Culkin. Over his six years on the show, he's become a father; bought his first place, in Greenpoint, Brooklyn; and moved from the island he'd lived on for his entire life. The show has raised his profile and his reputation. He's received two Emmy and three Golden Globe nominations; last year, he won a Critics Choice Award. "There cannot be a better job on the planet for an actor," he says. It's also given him plenty of options. But at the moment, none of them are as enticing as being at home with his wife and kids. For a guy who's always been ambivalent about acting as a career but at the same time revels in the work itself, this is a tough situation. "I haven't had a fucking moment to think about how I feel about it. All I know is I feel kind of down," Culkin says. "It's hard to sort of accept. What are the stages of grief? I don't know which one I'm in right now. Maybe depression or denial. Maybe a little bit of both." |

If you're an NBA fan, you know who this week's subject is: Serge Ibaka. You've probably seen his YouTube show, How Hungry Are You? in which he—while donning chef whites—interviews star athletes and celebrities. If you haven't seen it, well, get ready: Ibaka prepares a slew of questions spanning a wide range of topics in a relaxed and yet candid manner, injecting the show with his frank and sometimes deadpan sense of humor. Toward the end of each episode comes the pay-off. He feeds them something out of the ordinary, like fish sperm handroll, bull penis and testicle pizza, or goat brain and beer cheese soup. He also makes music, and, of course, is a massive fan of fashion. |

The point of the series isn't whether or not the girls are going to start doing psychic witchcraft in the middle of the woods in order to save themselves. It's something else. |
| The Spirit Flyback is a total triumph. |

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the former president* of the United States is a dangerous fcking lunatic and he's decompensating quickly. It no longer matters whether or not he's playing a role or playing everyone for fools. He knows what his more dangerous devotees actually hear when he starts raving like this. It no longer matters whether or not he's doing all this out of abject terror of being hauled before the bar in two states and the District of Columbia. Even quaking on his golden throne, he can still bring the temple down on his own head. Especially since the entire Republican Party is lending him its support. And he knows it, too, because he won't shut his digital gob. |
