She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024. In her four years (and counting) as a culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association and GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing. She is currently based in her hometown of Los Angeles. When she isn&#039;t writing or checking Twitter way too often, you can find her studying Korean while watching the latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a26895105/best-korean-dramas/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;K-drama&lt;/a&gt;, yapping about her favorite shows and films with family and friends, or giving a concert performance while sitting in L.A. traffic.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

In <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/tag/amazon-prime-video/">Prime Video</a>'s latest <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/every-year-after-season-1-book-vs-tv-show-differences/">book-to-TV adaptation</a>, <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/every-year-after-season-2/"><em>Every Year After</em></a>, rising stars <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/every-year-after-cast/">Sadie Soverall and Matt Cornett</a> portray an irresistible <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/books/bolu-babalola-second-chance-romance-books/">second-chance romance</a>. Former childhood besties Percy (Soverall) and Sam (Cornett) spent every summer together in <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/books/best-carley-fortune-books-ranked/">Barry's Bay</a>, until their building romance was interrupted by an irreparable mistake. When Percy returns to mourn a loved one's death, old feelings reemerge and threaten to upend the life that Sam has built without her.</p><p>In honor of the series' streaming debut, Soverall and Cornett sat down with <em>Marie Claire</em> to test their friendship with a game of <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/tag/collection-how-well-do-you-know-your-costar/"><u><em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?</em></u></a>. The pair quickly proved how much they've learned about each other while making the show, as they guessed each other's <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/books/best-books-about-forbidden-love/">favorite romance tropes</a>, childhood celebrity crushes, and must-have snacks and sweet treats. Most tellingly, Cornett confirmed that the cast-mate he'd text first—minus <a href="https://www.instagram.com/michaelbradway_/" target="_blank">Michael Bradway</a>, who he considers his "brother" on- and off-screen—was Soverall. After all, he assured, he's "such a big Sadie Soverall fan."</p><p>Watch the full challenge above, then head to Prime Video to watch <em>Every Year After</em>, streaming now.</p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Quinci is a Culture Writer at Marie Claire, where she specializes in writing pieces and helping to strategize editorial content across TV, movies, music, books, theater, performing arts, and Internet and pop culture. She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024.

The <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/news/a26452/best-sad-movies/">tearjerker</a> centers on Kenna (played by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/maikamonroe/?hl=en" target="_blank">Maika Monroe</a>), a woman newly released from prison after a car crash that killed her boyfriend, Scotty (<a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/jj-outer-banks-death-rudy-pankow-depature-explained/">Rudy Pankow</a>). Unable to reunite with the daughter she had behind bars, the only person willing to give Kenna a chance is Ledger (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/tyriqwithers/?hl=en" target="_blank">Tyriq Withers</a>), a local bar owner who was Scotty's best friend.</p><p>Given that devastating plot of the <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/movies/best-romance-movies-2026/">romantic drama</a>, you wouldn't expect to describe the actors leading <em>Reminders of Him</em> as "goofy."

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Quinci is a Culture Writer at Marie Claire, where she specializes in writing pieces and helping to strategize editorial content across TV, movies, music, books, theater, performing arts, and Internet and pop culture. She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024. In her four years (and counting) as a culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association and GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing. She is currently based in her hometown of Los Angeles. When she isn&#039;t writing or checking Twitter way too often, you can find her studying Korean while watching the latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a26895105/best-korean-dramas/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;K-drama&lt;/a&gt;, yapping about her favorite shows and films with family and friends, or giving a concert performance while sitting in L.A. traffic.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024.

She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. In her three years (and counting) as a freelance culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing. She is currently based in her hometown of Los Angeles. When she isn&#039;t writing or checking Twitter way too often, you can find her studying Korean while watching the latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a26895105/best-korean-dramas/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;K-drama&lt;/a&gt;, recommending her favorite shows and films to family and friends, or giving a concert performance while sitting in L.A. traffic.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

For the revival, Netflix recruited several members of Hollywood's rising class of stars: India Fowler as wallflower Lori Granger; <em>Red Rocket</em>'s Suzanna Son as Lori's best friend Megan; <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/barbie-movie-ending-explained/"><em>Barbie</em></a> breakout Ariana Greenblatt as burnout Christy Renault; Fina Strazza as queen bee Tiffany Falconer, and Ella Rubin, Rebecca Ablack, and Ilan O'Driscoll as Tiffany's minions.</p><p>In honor of the movie's streaming release, Greenblatt, Rubin, and Ablack sat down with <em>Marie Claire</em> to test their friendship with a game of <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/tag/collection-how-well-do-you-know-your-costar/"><u><em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?</em></u></a><em>. </em>The trio was all smiles as they answered questions about the sports they each played growing up, first concerts, and botched tattoos. When they weren't laughing so hard that they nearly cried, they were talking over each other while recalling the major bout of food poisoning that took Greenblatt out on her first day of shooting. (Also, if you ever see the trio out and about together, they may be doing joint driving lessons.)</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:5736px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.67%;"><img id="iKMBL6Ny58M9B4nAUHX66N" name="FSPQ_20240429_SL_16047r" alt="The Killer and Rebecca Ablack as Debbie Winters in Fear Street: Prom Queen." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/iKMBL6Ny58M9B4nAUHX66N.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="5736" height="3824" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Debbie Winters (Rebecca Ablack) faces The Killer in <em>Fear Street: Prom Queen</em>. </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Sabrina Lantos/Netflix)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Watch the full challenge above, then head to Netflix to watch <em>Fear Street: Prom Queen</em>, streaming now.</p>

She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. In her three years (and counting) as a freelance culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Quinci is a Culture Writer at Marie Claire, where she specializes in writing pieces and helping to strategize editorial content across TV, movies, music, books, theater, performing arts, and Internet and pop culture. She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024. In her four years (and counting) as a culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association and GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing. She is currently based in her hometown of Los Angeles. When she isn&#039;t writing or checking Twitter way too often, you can find her studying Korean while watching the latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a26895105/best-korean-dramas/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;K-drama&lt;/a&gt;, yapping about her favorite shows and films with family and friends, or giving a concert performance while sitting in L.A. traffic.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024.

                                <p>On October 15, the <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/2024-victorias-secret-fashion-show-best-moments/" target="_blank">2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show</a> returned for the first time since 2018, bringing the U.S.'s biggest televised fashion show back to our screens. This year's catwalk promised the brand's most diverse cast yet with names like <a href="https://www.instagram.com/josephineskriver/" target="_blank">Josephine Skriver</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jastookes/" target="_blank">Jasmine Tookes</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ashleygraham/?hl=en" target="_blank">Ashley Graham</a> gracing the runway for the event's big comeback. (Longtime vets—and IRL besties— Skriver and Tookes were returning cast, while <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/ashley-graham-hesitated-victorias-secret-fashion-show/" target="_blank">Graham made her VS debut</a>.) </p><p>Ahead of the show, the trio found a quiet corner amid the runway's bustling backstage to play a game of <em>Marie Claire</em>'s "How Well Do You Know Your Costar?" The models showed off their trivia skills, attempting to guess each other's backstage must-haves and signature poses. In between reminiscing on their childhoods and the early days of their careers, Tookes and Graham also broke out into a quick sing-along after realizing they shared a go-to karaoke fav. (While the duo channel Shania confidence, Skriver prefers to scream out heavy metal.)</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1928px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:61.51%;"><img id="F8KAnLvqQmSK4u4RTisfFN" name="Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" alt="Victoria's Secret Fashion Show" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/F8KAnLvqQmSK4u4RTisfFN.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1928" height="1186" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Jasmine Tookes, Paloma Elsesser, Barbara Palvin, and Ashley Graham take a pic backstage ahead of the show. </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Getty Images)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Watch the challenge above, then rewatch the 2024 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on YouTube or Prime Video.</p>

                                <p>All Bravo devotees know that a friendship between Housewives can range from besties to frenemies. Last year, Andy Cohen and co. rebooted the <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/tag/reality-tv/">reality TV</a> franchise <em>The Real Housewives of New York City</em> with a cast of stylish standouts that represented the diversity of New York and the women who inhabit it, as new additions Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/a34441805/jenna-lyons-beauty-routine/">Jenna Lyons</a>, <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/jessel-taank-real-housewives-new-york-interview/">Jessel Taank</a>, and Brynn Whitfield brought their aspirational lives (and complicated friendships) to the small screen for millions to see. The newly-arrived second season, which premiered on October 1, adds two new cast members, Racquel Chevremont and <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/fashion/a36626275/rebecca-minkoff-office-style/">Rebecca Minkoff</a> to shake up the group's dynamic.</p><p>To celebrate the release of season 2, Taank and Whitfield met up with <em>Marie Claire</em> for a game of <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/tag/collection-how-well-do-you-know-your-costar/"><em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?</em></a> While playing, the pair showed off how strong their friendship remains off-screen. In between accurately guessing each other's "landscaping routines" (a landing strip for Brynn) and dream fictional lives (Jessel wants a <em>Clueless</em> closet of her own—relatable), the besties also shared their candid takes on dog names and engagement-ring etiquette. </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.70%;"><img id="5BG5QjcAGFJeYLoME9nJjW" name="NUP_204063_00517" alt="Racquel Chevremont, Jessel Taank, Brynn Whitfield" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/5BG5QjcAGFJeYLoME9nJjW.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1000" height="667" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">From left: Racquel Chevremont, Jessel Taank, and Brynn Whitfield have a girls' night out, on <em>The Real Housewives of New York City</em>. </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Ralph Bavaro/Bravo)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Watch the challenge above, then tune into Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET for new episodes of <em>The Real Housewives of New York City</em>.</p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Quinci is a Culture Writer at Marie Claire, where she specializes in writing pieces and helping to strategize editorial content across TV, movies, music, books, theater, performing arts, and Internet and pop culture. She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024. In her four years (and counting) as a culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association and GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing.

That all changes on August 9 when <em>Borderlands</em>, the movie adaptation of the beloved video game of the same name, arrives in theaters. Like many big-budget s<a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a28985907/best-superhero-movies/">uperhero movies</a>, <em>Borderlands</em> has attracted a star-studded cast, with Blanchett and Curtis joining Kevin Hart, Édgar Ramírez, Ariana Greenblatt, and Jack Black (who, funny enough, also met Blanchett at the same Oscar ceremony) as ragtag heroes traversing an apocalyptic junkyard planet filled with violent marauders.</p><p>Ahead of the <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/movies/best-action-movies-2024/">action film</a>'s release, Blanchett and Curtis channeled their badass characters for a very competitive game of <em>Marie Claire</em>'s <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/tag/collection-how-well-do-you-know-your-costar/"><u><em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?</em></u></a>. The pair got a bit carried away, with accusations of cheating and fake tears flying, but the game hinged on the pair's undeniable mutual respect (and, yes, a little bit of cheating).

She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time.

In <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/movies/hit-man-ending-explained/" target="_blank"><em>Hit </em></a><em>Man, </em>Glen Powell's Gary and Adria Arjona's Madison's meet-cute is a mind-blowing one: She thinks he's a professional killer who she's hiring to murder her abusive husband (Evan Holtzman) when he's actually an undercover police contractor who's instantly smitten. Director Richard Linklater's crime film (which arrived on Netflix on June 7) follows the couple as the failed sting operation turns into a passionate, forbidden <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/news/a25142/classic-hollywood-movies-to-watch/">romance</a> that's impossible not to root for up to its <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/movies/hit-man-ending-explained/">shocking ending</a>, thanks to Powell and Arjona's excellent performances.</p><p>Ahead of the movie's streaming release, the <em>Hit Man</em> stars tested their friendship during a game of<em> Marie Claire</em>'s <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/tag/collection-how-well-do-you-know-your-costar/" target="_blank"><em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?</em></a>, where they were tasked with guessing each other's first jobs, daily essentials, and ideal superpowers. The pair breezed through the questions as they showed how much they bonded over months of filming, from Powell constantly sneaking in compliments of the Puerto Rican actress and Arjona threatening to take the<em> Top Gun</em> actor's puppy Brisket home with her. Amid the flirty teasing, there was also a surprising instance of cheating(!), though we'll forgive this duo of anything.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:7200px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.67%;"><img id="WNBMpY8TXmdyswhcEVNSAS" name="HM_00698_R.JPG" alt="Adria Arjona as Madison and Glen Powell as Gary Johnson in Hit Man." src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/WNBMpY8TXmdyswhcEVNSAS.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="7200" height="4800" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Adria Arjona as Madison and Glen Powell as Gary Johnson in <em>Hit Man</em>. </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Brian Roedel/Netflix)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Watch the challenge above, then head to Netflix (or your <a href="https://www.fandango.com/hit-man-2024-235998/movie-overview" target="_blank">local theater</a>) to catch <em>Hit Man</em>.</p>

                                <p><em>Babes</em> costars Ilana Glazer and Michelle Buteau are closer than average castmates. How close? "We showed each other our pussies," Glazer told <em>Marie Claire</em>. </p><p>Their hilarious bonding experience should come as no surprise to fans of the actresses, who both have helmed beloved sitcoms (<em>Broad City</em> for Glazer; <em>Survival of the Thickest</em> for Buteau). In their <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/movies/best-comedy-movies-2024/">new comedy movie</a> <em>Babes, </em>co-written by Glazer and marks <em>Better Things</em>' Pamela Adlon's feature directorial debut, the duo play inseparable, lifelong friends entering new eras of their lives. Soon after Buteau's Dawn gives birth to her second child with her husband (Hasan Minhaj), Eden (Glazer) finds herself unexpectedly pregnant after a significant yet fleeting relationship. As they both face unforeseen pressures, their relationship is tested in this joyously gross <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/g29080194/feel-good-happy-movies/" target="_blank">feel-good film</a>.</p><p>Before the wide release of <em>Babes</em> on May 24, Buteau and Glazer reflected on their friendship, spanning over 20 decades, during a game of <em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star</em>. Though the pair was admittedly nervous, they breezed through the questions while sharing stories about their adorable outings (including a Haim concert and themed Halloween parties), NYC's naming conventions ("either rockstar names or grandma and grandpa"), and what Buteau's theme would be if she had a Bat Mitzvah (think <em>Coming to America</em>).</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:6240px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.28%;"><img id="yo8vEKke7Pwpm653MZCVdC" name="" alt="a pregnant woman (Ilana Glazer as Eden) sits with her hands on her belly as her friend (Michelle Buteau as Dawn) sits next to her in a doctor's office, in 'Babes'" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yo8vEKke7Pwpm653MZCVdC.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="6240" height="3512" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Eden (Ilana Glazer) and Dawn (Michelle Buteau) in <em>Babes</em>. </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Gwen Capistran/NEON)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Watch the challenge above, then head to your local theater to catch <em>Babes</em>.</p>

                                                                <dc:description><![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;Quinci is a Culture Writer at Marie Claire, where she specializes in writing pieces and helping to strategize editorial content across TV, movies, music, books, theater, performing arts, and Internet and pop culture. She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire as a contributing editor in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. She became a full-time staff writer at Marie Claire in 2024. In her four years (and counting) as a culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association and GALECA: The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing.

In case you're not caught up on the Regency-era megahit (spoilers ahead!), longtime friends Penelope and Eloise had a massive fight at the end of season 2, after the latter discovered that the former was none other than the gossip columnist. Going into season 3, part 1's release on May 16, the TV besties are still on the outs, which becomes even more devastating once you see how close the real-life women behind them have gotten since <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/bridgerton-week/"><em>Bridgerton</em></a> first premiered in 2020.</p><p>Ahead of the highly-anticipated return to the Ton, we sat down with the acting duo to test how much they've gotten to know each other so much over the past four years, with a game of <em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?</em> No surprise, they breezed through the questions and even shouted out some answers before hearing all of the options, recalling each other's stories of former jobs, beloved pets, and childhood crushes. (The answer to the last one? Leonardo DiCaprio and Jessica Rabbit.

                                <p>The perfect road trip requires many things—a killer playlist, minimal traffic, plenty of snacks—but if we're only judging by chemistry, Geraldine Viswanathan, Margaret Qualley, and Beanie Feldstein are the perfect car companions. The trio of actresses star in Ethan Coen (one half of the legendary Coen Brothers) and Tricia Cooke's new lesbian crime flick <em>Drive-Away Dolls</em>, which combines a hysterical comedy of errors with a trippy callbacks to 1960s B-movies. In the film, <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/movies/how-to-watch-poor-things-streaming/" target="_blank"><em>Poor Things</em></a> actress Qualley and <em>Blockers</em> star Viswanathan play friends who need a change from their mundane lives in 1999 Philadelphia. After reckless Jamie (Qualley) is caught cheating on her girlfriend Sukie (Beanie Feldstein), the wild child invites herself on prim Marian's (Viswanathan) road trip to Tallahassee. However, they're given a rental car that holds a mysterious suitcase, meant for a slick crime boss, called the Chief (Colman Domingo). The two women embark on a wild journey of zany mini-adventures, with the Chief's bumbling goons hot on their tails.</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:3840px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:54.01%;"><img id="mZns3dW9dVJJqpWW5vxv5R" name="" alt="seen from the pov of a car trunk, a woman (margaret qualley) lifts the trunk's hood while another (geraldine Viswanathan) stands next to her" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/mZns3dW9dVJJqpWW5vxv5R.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="3840" height="2074" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Jamie (Margaret Qualley) and Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) are the odd-couple besties at the center of 'Drive-Away Dolls.' </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: <strong>WORKING TITLE / FOCUS FEATURES</strong>)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Ahead of the film's Feb. 23 release, we sat down with Viswanathan, Qualley, and Feldstein to play our favorite test of friendship, <em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star? </em>The on-screen friend group passed our quiz with flying colors, as they breezed through questions about their early jobs before acting, their high school superlatives, their favorite movies, and their random deep-set fears (some of which don't even have official terms). In one sweet moment, Feldstein and Viswanathan connected on how the classic 2011 comedy <em>Bridesmaids</em> changed their lives. "I was like, ‘Oh, this many funny women are allowed to be onscreen at the same time and people will love it?'" Feldstein said of watching the film as a high school senior. Fast-forward a decade, and now these three women are bringing a new inventive, hilarious comedy to the screen.</p><p>Watch the full challenge, above, then head to theaters to catch <em>Drive-Away Dolls</em>.</p>

                                <p>Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse have a lot more in common than their starring roles in Valentine's Day most horrifying date-night flick. They both came up as child actors (though a few years apart), they're both artistically inclined, and they both have the coolest stories. It's no wonder they have such chemistry playing a misunderstood high schooler and her reanimated corpse crush in <em>Lisa Frankenstein</em>, which hits theaters on February 9. Directed by Zelda Williams, and written by <em>Jennifer's Body</em> scribe Diablo Cody, the new Focus Features film introduces Lisa and her monster's ghoulish love story, as their joint quest for happiness brings about a bit more bloodshed than the average rom-com. This campy, irreverent comedy has it all: a magic tanning bed, bubblegum pink '80s aesthetics, a leotard-clad evil stepmother (played by Carla Gugino), and dazzling performances by Newton and Sprouse, two esteemed veterans within Young Hollywood.</p><p>Ahead of the film's release, we sat down with the duo to test their friendship with a trivia game we call <em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star? </em>They laughed their way through the friendly competition, as they answered questions about each others' first jobs, first concerts, and early red carpets. (If anyone can find Sprouse's first diaper commercial, we'd be grateful.)</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1000px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.30%;"><img id="yDgojWMGiykKEEYBtdRuaF" name="" alt="still of cole sprouse and kathryn newton in lisa frankenstein" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/yDgojWMGiykKEEYBtdRuaF.jpg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1000" height="563" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="caption-text">Cole Sprouse as The Creature and Kathryn Newton as Lisa in 'Lisa Frankenstein (2024)'. </span><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Michele K.

She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp;amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. In her three years (and counting) as a freelance culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing.

                                <p>The stars of <em>My Life With the Walter Boys</em> may be at the center of an <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/the-summer-i-turned-pretty-how-well-do-you-know-your-co-star/" target="_blank">angsty love triangle</a> on-screen, but stars Nikki Rodriguez, Noah LaLonde, and Ashby Gentry are a much more friendly trio in real life. If you haven't heard of Netflix's latest hit yet, the teen soap (based on Ali Novak's Wattpad novel of the same name) follows the coming-of-age saga of 15-year-old Jackie Howard (Rodriguez). After she loses her entire family in a tragic accident, Jackie moves from NYC to small-town Colorado to live with her mother's best friend Catherine Walker (<em>Suits</em> alum Sarah Rafferty) and her loving family of 10(!) kids. Soon, as these stories go, Jackie gets entangled in a love triangle between two of the Walter brothers, Cole (LaLonde) and Alex (Gentry). </p><p><em>My Life With the Walter Boys</em> debuted on Netflix on December 7 and quickly found a passionate fanbase thanks to its dramatic plot (including that finale cliffhanger!) and charismatic main trio. With Rodriguez, LaLonde, and Gentry joining the streamer's roster of young stars, we wanted to see just how close the actors have gotten during their whirlwind rise to success. Following <em>Walter Boys</em>' <a href="https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/my-life-with-the-walter-boys-season-2-renewal-cast-photos" target="_blank">season 2 renewal</a>, we sat down with the group for "How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?", our trivia game that <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/the-cast-of-the-buccaneers-plays-how-well-do-you-know-your-co-star/" target="_blank">tests the bonds</a> of our <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/gen-v-cast-trivia/" target="_blank">favorite shows' casts</a>.</p><p>For nearly 10 minutes, the stars answered questions about their celebrity connections, fast food preferences, and most listened-to artists over the past year. (Of course, we did film this during <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/celebrity/charli-xcx-speed-drive/" target="_blank">Spotify Wrapped</a> season.) Each of the three contestants showed their own unique strategy: Rodriguez was calm and level-headed in a way that would make Jackie proud; LaLonde was surprisingly goofy, belting out Phoebe Bridgers songs and a nice Matthew McConaughey impression; and Gentry gave each of his guesses a passionate and thorough explanation (he even brought out a bit of astrology to guess LaLonde's celeb birthday twin). But was it enough to score some points? </p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:56.25%;"><img id="MQY4rXHUhmBwxt5j9pKcKX" name="" alt="still from my life with the walter boys" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/MQY4rXHUhmBwxt5j9pKcKX.jpeg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1080" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: Courtesy of Netflix)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Watch the full challenge, above, then head to Netflix to catch (or re-watch) season 1 of <em>My Life With the Walter Boys</em>, streaming now. </p>

She contributes interviews with talent, filmmakers, below-the-line workers, and authors, as well as SEO content, features, and trend stories. She fell in love with storytelling at a young age, and after crafting her own stories as a child (including amateur novels, fanfiction, and screenplays), she discovered her love for cultural criticism and amplifying awareness for underrepresented storytellers across the arts. Television is Quinci’s greatest passion, and she spends countless hours catching up on the latest releases and returning to cozy favorites, from &lt;em&gt;The Simpsons&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Half &amp;amp; Half&lt;/em&gt; to &lt;em&gt;Extraordinary Attorney Woo&lt;/em&gt;. She believes that entertainment journalism and criticism can help influence Hollywood by holding up a mirror to the hidden biases and stereotypes perpetuated in the media. When critics engage viewers to think more deeply about what they’re watching, either through a full thinkpiece or one line in an explainer, then audiences can demand more nuanced, empathetic art from studios and streamers. (She also agrees with &lt;em&gt;Parasite&lt;/em&gt; director Bong Joon-ho that Americans need to overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles and explore the superb world of international media.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Prior to joining Marie Claire in 2021, she began her journalism career covering local and state politics, with an emphasis on mental health in Black communities, before pivoting to focus on culture journalism full-time. She also previously served as the weekend editor for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.harpersbazaar.com/author/227190/quinci-legardye/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harper’s Bazaar&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, where she covered breaking news and live events for the brand’s website, and helped run the brand’s social media platforms, including Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. In her three years (and counting) as a freelance culture journalist, Quinci has contributed reviews, profiles, features, recaps, and personal essays for outlets including &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.huffpost.com/author/quinci-legardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;HuffPost&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.avclub.com/author/quincilegardye&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The A.V.

Quinci was a 2021 Eugene O’Neill Critics Institute fellow and is a graduate of Poynter’s Power of Diverse Voices. She is also a member of the Television Critics Association.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Quinci earned her degree in English and Psychology from The University of New Mexico, with a concentration in Creative Writing. She is currently based in her hometown of Los Angeles. When she isn&amp;#39;t writing or checking Twitter way too often, you can find her studying Korean while watching the latest &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a26895105/best-korean-dramas/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;K-drama&lt;/a&gt;, recommending her favorite shows and films to family and friends, or giving a concert performance while sitting in L.A. traffic.&lt;/p&gt; ]]></dc:description>

                                <p><em>Gen V</em> may be one of the most bloody, brutal shows on streaming, but it turns out stars Derek Luh, Lizzie Broadway, Jaz Sinclair, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Asa Germann, and London Thor are a much more giggly group off-camera. In the acclaimed college-set spinoff to Prime Video's <em>The Boys</em>, the young actors play a group of <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/tv-shows/gen-v-cast-prime-video/" target="_blank">super-powered teens</a> who uncover a conspiracy at their school and have to decide whether they want to be deadly corporate puppets or true, noble heroes. </p><p>Season 1 of <em>Gen V</em> came to an end on November 3 with a jaw-dropping finale, capping off eight stellar episodes full of gory battle scenes and superbly-written characters who have to survive all of the struggles of adolescence (manipulative authority figures, social media scrutiny, romantic betrayal, etc.) turned up to the deadliest degree.</p><p>With Gen V already confirmed for a second season, we sat down with Luh, Broadway, Sinclair, Schwarzenegger, Germann, and Thor to test their friendship with a trivia game we call <em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star? </em>From the first laughing fit—which happened before the game even begun—it's clear that the actors are a fun bunch to hang out with between takes (probably while splattered in fake blood). The group laughed their way through the entire game, as they quickly guessed each other's real-life superpowers, celebrity crushes, and favorite on-set snacks. They also shared some memories from their time filming in Toronto, Canada, including Thor pulling together a birthday party for Sinclair with only two days notice, to Luh's non-stop Ryan Gosling discussions. (There's even talk of Luh getting a more permanent ode to his celebrity crush, though you'll have to watch to see what that means.)</p><figure class="van-image-figure  inline-layout" data-bordeaux-image-check ><div class='image-full-width-wrapper'><div class='image-widthsetter' style="max-width:1920px;"><p class="vanilla-image-block" style="padding-top:66.67%;"><img id="k7rz5Jp5SdnK6TWGF8BZA6" name="" alt="gen v" src="https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/k7rz5Jp5SdnK6TWGF8BZA6.jpeg" mos="" align="middle" fullscreen="" width="1920" height="1280" attribution="" endorsement="" class=""></p></div></div><figcaption itemprop="caption description" class=" inline-layout"><span class="credit" itemprop="copyrightHolder">(Image credit: <strong>Brooke Palmer/Prime Video</strong>)</span></figcaption></figure><p>Watch the full challenge, above, then head to Prime Video to catch season 1 of <em>Gen V</em>, streaming now. </p>

In Hallmark's <em>A Royal Christmas Crush</em>, the costars play architect Ava and Prince Henry, respectively, and while the two acted in love for the cameras, a true connection was forming off-screen. </p><p>Now as a real-life couple, it's clear just how smitten Cassidy and Huszar are with each other, as we see in the latest episode of <em>Marie Claire's "</em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?" Throughout the game, we tried to stump the couple with questions about each other's go-to breakfast, first jobs, and favorite vacation spots, but the two's connection runs deep. In between giggles and inside jokes, Cassidy and Huszar managed to keep the score neck-and-neck.</p><p>They also got into the sweet story of how their on-screen romance crossed over into real life. Cassidy recalled that while they both were very professional, after about a week on set she noticed Huszar in his "Stephen clothes" wearing crystal bracelets. "I asked him about them and I just started to learn about him, who he actually was," she said. "And yeah, I was just pleasantly surprised by this human being that I met." Huszar sweetly added, "Ditto, it took about a week and then we started to realize we're very similar in many ways so it's kind of looking at a reflection of each other." </p><p>To hear how Huszar surprised Cassidy's parents the first time he met them, watch the full challenge, above, then watch even more of their chemistry unfold in <em>A Royal Christmas Crush </em>on the Hallmark Channel. </p>

                                <p>After months spent filming a series, most co-stars tend to bond during their time on set. But for actors Gia Kim and Sang Heon Lee, their bond goes way deeper than just castmates. The two star in Netflix's<em> XO, Kitty</em> respectively as Yuri and Min Ho, two wealthy, popular kids at Kitty's (Anna Cathcart) boarding school in South Korea. While they seem friendly enough on camera, you may be surprised to hear that Kim and Lee are actually real-life sister and brother. </p><p>In a round of <em>How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?, </em>Kim and Lee tested their knowledge of one another. Given that they are siblings, you would think they would pass our test with flying colors...but, let's just say the trivia challenged brought to light some surprising secrets. </p><p>During the game, the brother-sister duo dished on bucket-list items, first jobs, and childhood memories. At one point, Kim even revealed she had a secret flower tattoo, much to the surprise of Lee. The two also detailed how they both landed the roles in <em>XO, Kitty </em>and it was all thanks to Kim. She explained: "As soon as I saw the breakdown, I was like I'm going to go for this character, but <em>this</em> character, I can definitely see my brother selling really well, so I sent him the same thing." Kim continued, "We were both really hoping that both of us would get it and that there was no love line story between our characters because that would not be OK." </p><p>To see Lee's hilarious reaction to Kim's most recent tattoo, watch the full challenge, above, then head to Netflix to catch <em>XO, Kitty</em>, streaming now. </p>

Think: the Jacobite Uprising in Scotland, the Revolutionary War in America, a witch trial, and even multiple imprisonments. But nothing can stop these two from being together. Plus, we can't deny that Jaimie and Claire have some of the steamiest scenes on TV, <em>ever</em>. With a couple as in love as Jamie and Claire, it should come as no surprise that the actors that play them have just as much chemistry off-screen. </p><p>Ahead of season seven's release, Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, who play Claire and Jamie, respectively, sat down with <em>Marie Claire</em> for a game of "How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?<em>" </em>Right off the bat, it's clear Balfe and Heughan's friendship runs deep. In between questions about each other's first jobs, childhood celebrity crushes, and favorite movies, the two couldn't keep their giggles stifled. </p><p>In the video, we also learn what Balfe's first impression was of Heughan when they met for their chemistry test. Unfortunately, she ran in as a "sweaty mess" after getting caught late in L.A. traffic, but that didn't stop Heughan from being a sweetheart. "He was very kind, and very calm, and he handed me a tissue, and he was just very sweet," Balfe recalled. "And then I asked for the tissue back," Heughan jokingly added. </p><p>To hear more fun facts—including the musical instrument Heughan wants Balfe to play on set—watch the full challenge above. Then head to Starz to catch season seven of <em>Outlander, </em>streaming now. </p>

                                <p>If you know a bit about history, then you may know the story of <a href="https://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/a32743109/catherine-the-great-hulu-makeup-hair/">Catherine the Great</a> and Peter III is not a happy one. As we see in Hulu's <em>The Great</em>, a dark comedy loosely based on Catherine's rise to power and Peter's demise, the two had a very troubled relationship, to say the least. In the series, Catherine and Peter are constantly at war with one another—whether it's through a coup, murdering the other's lover, or plotting assassination attempts. Thankfully, <em>The Great</em>'s stars, Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult, aren't nearly as hostile towards each other as their on-screen counterparts. In fact, we'd say they are pretty friendly. </p><p>Ahead of season three's release, we put Fanning and Hoult's knowledge of one another to the test in a game we call "How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?" In between questions about each other's first concerts, favorite on-set snacks, and go-to trailer activity, we were treated to quite a few interesting tidbits about the two stars. For instance, Hoult knows how to make an "unbelievable" passionfruit margarita. </p><p>We also found out about Fanning's unique childhood collection of chicken wishbones. "I used to break it off, and it's like the larger half and I would keep those in my purse," she revealed in between giggles. "I think they started to smell and so I had to get rid of them." </p><p>To hear more fun facts—including how Fanning's trip to the hospital involved Ray Romano's son—watch the full challenge above. Then head to Hulu to catch season three of <em>The Great, </em>streaming now. </p>
