We rank the ‘Materialists' press tour's flirtiest moments by how bisexual they are
If there is one thing we have learned about Materialists from the film's press tour, it's that bisexuals are winning.
The film, which stars Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson, and Chris Evans follows 'a young, ambitious New York City matchmaker (Johnson) finds herself torn between the perfect match (Pascal) and her imperfect ex (Evans),' according to the official synopsis. It may not, at first glance, seem to be queer culture, but you would never guess that from the press tour, which is a vision of the future that bisexuals want.
From sneaky clothing swaps, near gay kisses, and that flirty photoshoot, these three have been giving throuple vibes and having the most cheeky fun three incredibly hot actors can have on a press tour. And for their service, we thank them.
Here are the viral moments between this flirty trio, ranked by just how hard the bisexuals are winning right now.

Pedro Pascal and Dakota Johnson are seen on the set of "Materialists"
You would think meeting Pedro Pascal in any situation would be memorable, but it turns out his meet-cute with Johnson was only cute for him. Pascal interviewed Johnson for a feature in Elle in which he called out his co-star about how they met.
It began with Johnson talking about meeting him for the first time at the Met Gala with Sarah Paulson (stars, they're just like us!) and he interjected with a correction 'That was the second time,' he revealed, prompting Jonson to share, 'OK, the first time was on Raya.'

The trio sat down with Fandango to reveal some BTS secrets and things got very real and very spicy when they were asked what kind of 'random talent [or] skill' they had that they could share with a matchmaker.
After plenty of giggles and whispers with both of his cast mates, eventually Pascal dropped the bomb: 'I'm into... I'm into.. I'm into.. I'm a pleaser.' To which Johnson agreed she is, too.

In a game of Would You Rather with LADbible, the question of body odor came up prompting Johnson to smell Pedro's armpit. Not only did it smell nice, but she said it smelled oddly familiar.
'That's what my sweater smelled like when you gave it back,' she revealed. To which Evans laughed, then expressed some understandable FOMO. 'You guys swapping clothes? Why wasn't I involved with this?' he asked.

During that same game, the question was asked, 'Would you rather have a mouth full of bees or one bee in your butt?' As Evans tried to logic through the question, he leaned toward the bee in the butt since it would only survive for a minute, which led Pascal to quietly answer, 'It depends.'

Again during that same game of Would You Rather, the trio debated whether they'd rather be itchy all the time in clothes or naked all the time. While Pascal and Johnson opted for nudity, Evans preferred itchy but clothed. Pascal decried what a shame that would be because of Evan's 'great body.' Evans then offered to let them both scratch it.

At the premiere, Pedro was missing so Evans and Dakota carried around a cardboard photo of his face, at one point each giving it a cheeky kiss.

When A24 released the BTS video of the promo photoshoot for the film, the bisexuals immediately took note! The chemistry between the three was fire, the dance moves, the prom photos, the partner swapping. Obsessed.

One last entry from LADBible's game of Would You Rather! During the outtakes from the end of the episode, the three are standing together holding hands and Pascal points out that they look like they are in a cult. Johnson agrees, calling it her 'cult of sexy boys.' Pascal agrees and says his husband is #2 and they agree Evans is husband #1.

I mean. Come on. These three know exactly what they are doing here. Not that we're complaining.

‘Agushto Papá' challenges música Mexicana artists to speak up on immigration raids
As looming fear over ongoing ICE raids in the greater Los Angeles area continues, one group of music enthusiasts is using their platform to call out for more visibility and support from famed artists — underscoring tense conversations about influence in the Latino music scene. Since 2021, the 'Agushto Papá' podcast — founded and hosted by Jason Nuñez, Diego Mondragon and Angel Lopez— has played a key role in chronicling the rise of música Mexicana by giving up-and-coming artists a platform to showcase their talent and personalities. Popular genre acts like Xavi, Eslabon Armado, Becky G, DannyLux, Ivan Cornejo and more have appeared on their YouTube channel, which has amassed over 635,000 subscribers to date. However, on Monday, the trio strayed away from their standard entertainment content, uploading an Instagram reel reflecting disappointment over ICE sweeps, which have targeted communities of Paramount, Huntington Park, Santa Ana and other predominantly Latino communities. 'It's super unfortunate to see what's happening within our Latino community,' Nuñez states in the clip. 'I think it's very important that we stay united and spread as much awareness as possible.' The video initially highlighted efforts by Del Records, who are providing free legal assistance to members of the community who are facing deportation orders; earlier this year, the Bell Gardens label was caught in a web of guilty court verdicts due to their links to cartels. Still, the label is one of the few Latino-led music entities outspoken about providing resources for affected individuals, 'but I definitely think they shouldn't be the only ones,' added Nuñez in the video. Podcast co-host Lopez prompted viewers to tag their favorite artist in the comment section if they would like for them to speak up, he said, 'I think it's fair and just that [artists] show some of that love back to the community that's in need and that is hurting.' 'I think that [artists] do play a big role because I think we see them as role models or leaders in our community,' said Lopez in a Tuesday interview with The Times. 'These are times when we need those leaders to speak up and for us and people that maybe can't speak up as well.' The topic of immigration hits close to home for two of the members; Nuñez and Mondragon are both DACA recipients and openly discuss their unique experience on the podcast. The Obama-era program, which provides temporary relief from deportation and work authorization, has also come under attack in recent years by Trump-appointed judges and is currently recognized as unlawful by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, although application renewals remain. 'I feel betrayed because with ['Agushto Papá'], we have a lot of artists and companies and labels reach out to us to promote albums, tours,' said Mondragon. 'We've actually reached out to some of these companies [and] they've been ignoring us.' While Mondragon won't disclose names, he says that many individuals have not spoken out because, 'their artists are not born in the U.S.' To that he quips, 'We don't have papers as well, and we're still using our platform.' There's a sense of betrayal, the group says, especially given how various artists and labels came out to support Californians during the January wildfires, 'but now when it comes down to bringing awareness to things that are happening to their people, it's just unfair that they're keeping quiet,' says Nuñez. Still, the 'Agushto Papá' podcast is not alone in this sentiment; if you scroll across the comment sections of trending música Mexicana acts, you'll likely come across comments asking them why they're staying silent about recent sweeps, which immigration-leaders say have totaled at least 300 people. 'I think my big let down is that these companies/artists are vocal about their culture, their heritage, their ethnicity every chance they get, but now I feel like they're picking and choosing only when it matters,' said Lopez. In days following public demonstrations and protests, several Mexican American artists have vocalized their support of the immigrant communities including big acts like Ivan Cornejo, Becky G, and Chiquis. On Tuesday, the boisterous San Bernardino band Fuerza Regida, uploaded a statement to their 9.1 million followers, sharing support for the Latino community. The podcast trio later thanked in a follow-up video. 'There's still a lot of artists that are staying silent and we hope by this week they speak out about what's going on,' states Mondragon in the video, urging artists to spread awareness, or perhaps, if they're bold, front a portion of their millions to the community, even if it means opting for first class instead of their private jet, he says.

‘Materialists' Filmmaker Celine Song Knows Something About Love
The best romantic comedies in and of themselves become timeless Bibles of life. Woody Allen's Annie Hall didn't just speak to the 1970s single folk but also to any teenager in a future era going through heartbreak. More from Deadline 'How To Train Your Dragon' Won't Be Laggin' At Summer Box Office With $175M-$185M Global Start For Live-Action Redo - Preview 'Materialists' Review: Dakota Johnson Measures Value Of Love Between Chris Evans And Pedro Pascal in Celine Song's Sublime Romcomdram From Grammy Nominated Hip Hop Artist To Indie Filmmaker With 'Paradise Records': The Rise Of Logic - Crew Call Podcast Ditto for 2009's 500 Days of Summer: It may have been about millennials and for millennials, but carried themes about the pursuit of love that any fortysomething could relate to. And, so, we arrive at Celine Song's Materialists which is a deconstruction of the singledom that's absolutely now, steeped in its social media marketability and posh wants, but at the end of the day it's the raw, shabby, sincere form of love which wins out. In turning the romcom on its head (though Jane Austen's Emma does come to mind), Dakota Johnson plays Lucy, a high-end matchmaker in NYC who contends with her clients lofty wants in a mate. Lucy, who knows everything there is about marketability in the game of courtship, falls for the ultimate unicorn in Pedro Pascal's ultimate rich dude, Harry. But then Lucy's ex, John (an amazing, no-holds-barred Chris Evans) reenters the picture. He doesn't have Harry's wallet, but, man, he knows what makes Lucy tick (beer and soda). Before she was an Oscar nominated filmmaker, Song was a matchmaker ten years ago. 'I learned more about people in those six months, than in any other part of my life,' she tells us today on Crew Call. Though she doesn't consider herself an expert on love, you can't deny her knowledge. Move over, Leo Buscaglia. 'Love is a completely mysterious thing that we don't have a solution for,' says Song about the difference between dating and finding the love of your life. 'Love is something that humbles us, that ask us to surrender, it's the one that asks us to be our purist, most simple self,' Song shares, 'When love is offered to you, all you can say is 'Deal'. You can say 'Yes, deal. I want this love in my life.' Materialists opens this Friday. Best of Deadline 'Stick' Release Guide: When Do New Episodes Come Out?
