The first Saturday night after Valentine's Day should always be reserved for a comedy movie. After surviving the pressure of planning a perfect evening—with the flowers and the ironed shirt and the romantic dinner and so on and so forth—there is nothing anyone deserves more than to pull on some soft pants, sit on the couch with their sweetie (or their sorrows), and laugh their ass off. With that in mind, allow me to share our list of the best laffs on Netflix right now. Indulge yourself. – Kevin Dupzyk, contributing editor |

Have a laugh—you've earned it.

Let's face it: Things are scary these days. Groceries and electric bills are sky-high, civil liberties are under attack, and our coming future ruled by AI poses a threat to truth itself. I don't know about you, but I think this calls for a hilarious movie night. At Netflix, still the biggest streaming service available today, there's plenty of funny movies that can help us laugh our troubles away. Rom-coms like Always Be My Maybe and Hit Man prove that the romantic comedy genre isn't dead, while other movies like Jay Kelly and Nouvelle Vague show that comedies don't have to be stupid. Also on Netflix are a few subversive specials: There's Cunk on Life, in which Diane Morgan reprises her clueless documentarian from Cunk on Earth, and John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch, which might be the only thing you and your two-year-old can watch together. And while it's a product of the pandemic, Bo Burnham: Inside is still insightful after all these years. |

For a guy that only wears dirt-cheap Wranglers, I do spend a lot of time thinking about jeans. I've written big long stories about it over at Esquire Premium. I've bored my wife to tears digging through vintage stores and specialty retailers. I'm not obsessed with selvedge and really heavy jeans. I'm just obsessed with the form, the history, and how people from John Wayne to Serge Gainsbourg to Lenny Kravitz to Zoë Kravitz have worn jeans.
And today, they've got me talking about my favorite pairs of the moment. Some are classics, like the Wranglers I've written about and the Levi's every guy tries to tell me are better. Some are very of the moment, like what Abercrombie is pushing out and the high-end collab from Louis Vuitton I just saw. All of them are worth buying. I will, however, skip the whole small batch denim thing, because that's just too much to get into right now. These are all easy to shop online as long as you know your size.
Without further ado, these are my 10 favorite pairs to dress up with a blazer, dress down in a white tee, and wear until they're threadbare. |

"It's really simple storytelling with really complicated emotions," says Megan Moroney, trying to explain the passion of the fans who have made her one of the biggest rising stars in country music. "But it's simple in a way that until they hear a song, they didn't realize that that's how they felt—they were just frustrated or sad. I'm not Shakespeare. It's very conversational; it's very honest. It's feelings put into song form."
Plus, she adds, "it rhymes." |
