There Will Never Be Another ‘Andor'
Andor
The series finale of Andor aired last night, the last batch of four weeks of three episodes each, a 12 episode season 2 matching a 12 episode season 1. It is widely considered to be some of the best Star Wars content ever created perhaps only short of the original trilogy itself. And perhaps not short of a movie or two even in that trilogy.
Andor is an amazing work of art, not just as a Star Wars show but as an overall series with incredible writing, acting, production values and a relevant take on the rise of fascism. The problem? It seems unlikely we will ever see something like Andor again coming out of Disney and Star Wars. And there are many, many reasons for that.

Andor isn't going to happen again. But thank god we got it in the first place.

Kallmeyer Resort 2026 Collection
A softness blanketed the latest Kallmeyer collection, shown at the brand's brightly sunlit new SoHo loft studio. 'We call it romantic tailoring,' said Daniella Kallmeyer. 'I was really drawn to these small elements and textures that felt like they were from another time, maybe, but brought into a modern context.' A slim maxi coat with architectural silver buttons placed only to the mid-waist, for example, was engineered to dramatically expose a layered silk gown whose asymmetrical hems swished and swooshed underneath. Kallmeyer is a designer who considers not only color and silhouette, but gestures—she sets the stage with her pieces, allowing her customers to step into her clothes and fill them with their own attitude and savoir faire. A slim tailored jacket had slits on the inside of the sleeves that went all the way above the elbows because she knows her customer likes to wear pristine button-down shirts, undo the cuffs, and let the fabric dramatically drape in the crook of their arms; an oversized silk organza shirt had delicate lace peeking out from underneath the cuffs. A reversible cashmere coat was inspired by an old Isaac Mizrahi sketch of an 'embrace me coat.' 'I loved this feeling of being permanently bundled up,' Kallmeyer noted, putting on the coat then taking it off and putting it back on the other way. She took that same reversible combo of navy and 'mink' cashmere and used it on a cropped jacket and matching wrap mini skirt—an absolute necessity if ever there were one. (In one shot, she layered the skirt over the coat, totally oozing with power and sensuality.) But Kallmeyer didn't fully give in to whimsy; rounding out the lineup was a handsome leather bomber with a funnel neck and voluminous sleeves, screen-printed velvet that looked elegantly aged, and quasi-acid wash denim in a pattern she said was meant to resemble fur. There was also a proper fabulous off-white shearling coat. Shots of chocolate brown, magenta, and ultramarine blue—the latter on an especially fabulous blouse with short sleeves—showed a flair for the decadent and the practical.

SUPERMAN Featurette Sees Nathan Fillion Embrace Guy Gardner's Bowl Cut, But Lois Lane Hates It — GeekTyrant
A new behind-the-scenes featurette dropped for James Gunn's Superman giving us a new look at Nathan Fillion's take on Green Lantern Guy Gardner… and if focuses on the infamous bowl cut. Fans have been curious how Fillion would pull off Gardner's abrasive style, both in attitude and appearance. As it turns out, the answer is… unapologetically. In the video, Gunn walks us through how they settled on the hairstyle, revealing that Fillion wore a wig that was then meticulously shaped into Guy's signature helmet-hair look, and it looks exactly as ridiculous as it should. Fillion admits in the featurette, 'There was some talk about different hairstyles. There was some talk about some different types of things we were going to go. I was team bowl cut the whole way. It's canon. It's set. I said, 'If we don't do a bowl cut, we're going to hear about it.'' 'Now, here's the thing,' Fillion added. 'I have another job [The Rookie] with a boss who's kind enough to let me out for other projects. But I think he would draw the line at a bowl cut police officer.' The footage ends with a quick clip from the movie, where Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) absolutely roasts Guy during what appears to be a heated Daily Planet encounter. 'Maybe not having an awful haircut should be in your vows,' she says, and Guy does not take it well. Superman arrives in theaters on July 11, 2025.
