Charli XCX's A24 movie, magCulture Live, and Timothée Chalamet's buzz cut
Pop culture hits and recs for a rainy day!
So, let’s recap what happened since you last saw us in your inbox. Charli XCX announced she’s making a new A24 studio movie called The Moment, Timothée Chalamet cut his curly locks (we know that you’re still grieving) for the premiere of Marty Supreme, and… um… those Halloween costumes are being dusted down?
In all seriousness, it’s autumn and it’s getting colder and colder, which is exactly why we made this week’s newsletter about all things creative, offering rainy day recommendations you can indulge in.

Film Review - The Outrun
The Outrun showcases an unapologetically raw and honest performance from Saoirse Ronan as Rona, an alcoholic navigating recovery, returning to her home in the windy and isolated archipelago, Orkney.

Back in mags
With magCulture Live returning in November, we’re bringing back Eloise Sheffield’s review of last year’s event. Including a specific run-through of the amazing Richard Turley’s career as graphic designer and creative director, this article will remind you why it is okay to sometimes, "rip the rug out from underneath yourself, go back, and restart”. There’s a chance it might pay off.
Xiaolu Guo: ‘My first identity is as a writer’
Thomas Godfrey’s article on award-winning author and filmmaker Xiaolu Guo explores her life through projects, which she created by drawing inspiration from her own experiences.
