Foster the People's 'Fever Dream' of a Music Video Features Lead Singer Mark Foster's Wife Julia Garner: Watch!
On Thursday, May 1, Foster the People are preparing to their double-feature music video for their new tracks "See You in the Afterlife" and "Feed Me" — and leading man Mark Foster's wife Julia Garner makes an appearance in the video.
In a press release, Foster — who has been married to the Ozark actress since 2019 — opened up about the songs from their latest album, Paradise State of Mind, and shared what it's like to collaborate with his wife on a project like this.

"These videos are transmissions from somewhere between a fever dream and a digital afterlife," Foster, 41, says. "If 'See You In the Afterlife' is a satirical take on what life feels like now, 'Feed Me' is the hell that follows. It was interesting to tie these two songs together in a short to explore the two sides of consumption – the dopamine rush of intake, and the void that follows."
According to Foster, his scenes with Garner, 31, helped to create a "lucid hallucination" that conveys the two songs' themes of otherworldliness and beauty.
"Filming 'Feed Me' with Julia felt like stepping into a lucid hallucination – a secret world stitched together by static and memory," the leading man adds. "One where fear and desire intersect and the result is something beautiful and deeply unsettling. The line between the digital and the divine is thinner, and stranger, than we think."
Although the couple often keep details about their relationship private, Garner and Foster have shared that first met at the Sundance Film Festival nearly seven years before tying the knot in an intimate courthouse wedding in December 2019.
"We went back and forth from having a big wedding to eloping in Vegas," Garner told Vogue at the time of their wedding. "We ultimately decided to get married at City Hall in New York City, just like my parents did 40 years ago."

In 2019, Foster was also by Garner's side when she took home her first Emmy for her role as Ruth Langmore on Netflix's Ozark. In her acceptance speech, Garner gave her then-future husband a special shoutout, calling Foster "the love of my life."
The couple have also appeared in fashion campaigns together, modeling for Gucci during the holiday season in 2024.
In January, Foster and Garner shared that they had rung in the New Year together with a series of photos on Instagram. The couple could be seen skiing and cuddling up together in Switzerland on New Year's Day, as Garner captioned her post: "🤍 First day of 2025🇨🇭."
The music video for "See You in the Afterlife / Feed Me" — directed by ' Laura Gordon, Jackson James and Ryan Ohm — is now streaming.

Thinking about America for the Fourth, plus the week's best movies in L.A.
Hello! I'm Mark Olsen. Welcome to another edition of your regular field guide to a world of Only Good Movies. Our colleagues at De Los ran a thoughtful and provocative interview this week with Patricia Riggen, director of 'Under the Same Moon,' which premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Andrea Flores spoke to Riggen about the film's legacy and how it might be different trying to make the film today. 'Under the Same Moon' traces the journey of 9-year-old Carlitos (Adrián Alonso) as he heads from Mexico to Los Angeles to find his mother Rosario (Kate del Castillo), an undocumented worker. He is aided along the way by another migrant, Enrique (Eugenio Derbez). Also featuring America Ferrera in a small role and an appearance by the band Los Tigres del Norte, the movie is currently available for rent on multiple digital platforms. At the time, the film broke box-office records for a Spanish-language film in the U.S., audiences resonating with its heartfelt emotions and focus on the bond between and mother and son. 'If I made 'Under the Same Moon' right now, I would not make it like that,' said Riggen. 'It would be dark as hell.' Riggen added, 'I wanted to make a movie that the Latino audience connected with and immigrants could watch. But the tone would be different. I would do a deep dive into the problem. I stayed away from making the movie political and concentrated more on the love story with the mother-son relationship. ... Now I feel like it's time to have more of a political angle. Half the country still believes that immigrants are criminals, but being able to feed your loved one is a human right.' Riggen said she and 'Same Moon' screenwriter Ligiah Villalobos have been working to adapt the story into a series. 'I find Hollywood, my industry, to be a little bit responsible for the hostility that Latinos and immigrants find as a community in the U.S.,' Riggen said. 'Our representation of Latinos has rarely been positive. We have to turn things around and represent the community in a positive light, not just the negative way that is prompting hostility by half of the country.' Maybe it's just me, but this year the Fourth of July is feeling extra emotional: fraught and complicated as America as a concept, an ideal and a current practical reality that feels so imperiled and fractured. It's difficult not to be in a mode of reflection rather than celebration. Local theaters are coming through with an array of films to help you meditate on the state of the nation, get away from all that or maybe a bit of both. The New Beverly Cinema will be screening 'Dazed and Confused,' Richard Linklater's 1993 ode to hanging out as a pathway to figuring yourself out, on Friday afternoon. 'The Return of the Living Dead,' Dan O'Bannon's horror-comedy, set over the Independence Day holiday, will play in the evening on Friday and Saturday. Steven Spielberg's 1981 'Raiders of the Lost Ark,' still a rousing action-adventure delight, will be at Vidiots on Friday. Tim Burton's 1985 'Pee-wee's Big Adventure' will play Friday and Saturday. Vidiots will also be showing John Carpenter's painfully prescient 1988 sci-fi-action classic 'They Live' on Saturday in 35mm. The American Cinematheque will screen Robert Altman's 'Nashville,' which, with all its contradictions, might sum up America about as well as any movie can. It plays at the Egyptian on Friday. I recently spoke to one of the film's stars, Ronee Blakley, about the film's enduring impact. 'It was just a bunch of talent put together by a bunch of great people,' she said. The Cinematheque will also screen the original Cannes cut of Richard Kelly's 2006 'Southland Tales' at the Los Feliz 3. With a ridiculously huge cast including Dwayne Johnson and Sarah Michelle Gellar, a convoluted conspiracy plot and a musical number with Justin Timberlake, the film captures something about 21st century America that few others manage. I spoke to Kelly about the film in 2019, ahead of when the Cannes cut played for the first time in the city. 'It was this really incredibly ambitious, sprawling film,' Kelly said. 'I was writing graphic novel prequels and it was just too much. We really didn't have the technology or the resources to finish it. It was that the ambition was just overflowing. I didn't have the discipline at the time to reign myself in. So we knew we were going into a situation where we had to just put our best foot forward. I think it was my lawyer who said at the time that getting into the competition at Cannes was the best thing and the worst thing that ever happened to 'Southland Tales.'' On Saturday at the Hollywood Bowl will be a 50th anniversary screening of Steven Spielberg's 'Jaws' with a live performance of John Williams' score by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, conducted by David Newman. The Frida Cinema will be showing Brian De Palma's 'Blow-Out,' which contains an astonishing sequence set against a fireworks display, along with a whole week of other Fourth of July-themed movies, including 'Nashville' and 'Dazed and Confused.' The American Cinematheque is launching the latest edition of its 70mm festival this week and it is (again) such a warm confirmation of why this is such a special moment for moviegoing in Los Angeles. The intersection of a specific print of a certain title at an exact time and theater leads to experiences that simply cannot be repeated. This year there are a handful of new titles and prints to the selection. Among those being promoted as playing the series for the first time are Mel Brooks' 'Spaceballs,' David Lynch's 'Dune,' Milos Forman's 'Amadeus,' Joel Schumacher's 'Flatliners,' John McTiernan's 'Die Hard,' and Ivan Reitman's 'Ghostbusters' Also among the films playing will be Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey,' David Lean's 'Lawrence of Arabia,' Alfred Hitchcock's 'North by Northwest' and 'Vertigo,' John Ford's 'The Searchers,' Sam Peckinpah's 'The Wild Bunch,' Jacques Tati's 'Playtime,' Paul Verhoeven's 'Total Recall,' James Cameron's 'Aliens,' Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise's 'West Side Story,' Spike Lee's 'Malcolm X,' Tony Scott's 'Top Gun' and Robert Altman's 'Short Cuts.' Filmmaker Willard Huyck will be present for a screening of his 'Howard the Duck.' Director Margaret Honda will be there for 70mm screenings of the experimental films 'Spectrum Reverse Spectrum' and 'Equinox.' More recent titles have also been programmed: Paul Thomas Anderson's 'Boogie Nights' and 'The Master,' Jordan Peele's 'Nope,' Alfonso Cuarón's 'Roma,' Christopher Nolan's 'Inception,' Damien Chazelle's 'Babylon' and Brady Corbet's 'The Brutalist.' 'In the Mood for Love' 25th anniversary To commemorate the film's 25th anniversary, Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love' is back in theaters along with the rarely seen short film, 'In the Mood for Love 2001' that reunites the film's stars, Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung. In the 2022 Sight & Sound poll of the greatest films of all time, 'In the Mood for Love' was the highest-ranking film released during the 21st century. The story of two people in 1962 Hong Kong, each married to others yet feeling an intense connection, unsure of how to act on their emerging bond, the film is an overwhelming emotional experience in which every slight nuance or touch takes on cascading impact. In his original review, Kenneth Turan wrote, 'A swooningly cinematic exploration of romantic longing, both restrained and sensual, luxuriating in color, texture and sound, this film raises its fascination with enveloping atmosphere and suppressed emotion to a ravishing, almost hypnotic level.' 'Sinners' on streaming Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' starts streaming today on Max. Whether you are just catching up to the movie or checking it out again, it's nice to have it so easily accessible. (And a 4K disc will be available next week.) The story of twin brothers Smoke and Stack, both played by Michael B. Jordan, as they return to their hometown in 1930s Mississippi to open a juke joint nightclub only to be beset by roving vampires, 'Sinners' is an astonishing horror film and a thoughtful treatise on legacy. And makes for a fine Fourth of July movie as well. In her review of the film, Amy Nicholson wrote, 'What a blood rush to exit Ryan Coogler's 'Sinners' aware that you've seen not merely a great movie but an eternal movie, one that will transcend today's box office and tomorrow's awards to live on as a forever favorite. If the cinema had a dozen more ambitious populists like Coogler, it would be in tip-top health. The young filmmaker who started his career with the 2013 Sundance indie 'Fruitvale Station' had to make three franchise hits — one 'Rocky' and two 'Black Panthers' — before getting the green-light to direct his own original spectacle. It was worth the wait. Let the next Coogler get there faster.'

Weddings are a must-attend on the billionaire social calendar for the summer
The traditional soundtrack of the billionaire social calendar — the Allen & Company Conference in Sun Valley, the Hamptons, a yacht trip around the Med — has been interrupted by wedding bells. Over the past couple of years, billionaire weddings have become must-attend events for those who want to see, be seen, and mingle with their fellow masters of the universe. Last year, the wedding of the summer was undoubtedly that of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, and Rihanna, who also performed at a pre-wedding bash, attended. The previous summer, Ari Emanuel, superagent and then-CEO of entertainment business Endeavor, wedded fashion designer Sarah Staudinger. Elon Musk and Tyler Perry were among the billionaires on the guest list. 2025's billionaire wedding season is gearing up to be the biggest yet. It kicked off in June when Alex Soros, son of hedge fund investor George Soros, married Huma Abedin, the political strategist and former Hillary Clinton aide. Photographed for Vogue were guests like supermodel Karlie Kloss, the wife of billionaire investor Josh Kushner, and fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, the wife of media mogul Barry Diller. Next down the aisle were Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez Bezos, who wed in Venice a couple of weeks later. Billionaires from the worlds of tech (Bill Gates, Sam Altman), media (David Geffen, Oprah Winfrey), and fashion (Kim Kardashian, François-Henri Pinault) rubbed elbows to celebrate the third-richest man on Earth. Next on the agenda: Eve Jobs, daughter of late Apple cofounder Steve Jobs, will wed Olympian equestrian Harry Charles in the Cotswolds sometime in August.

What, to Black people, is the Fourth of July?
Our flag has been used and abused by insurrectionists and the far right to equate greatness to hate and autocracy. Our flag is never free of 1976 when Is this the land of the free? To evoke Frederick Douglass, what to the American slave, is the Fourth of July? Advertisement What to the Indigenous, to the immigrant and migrant, to the queer and trans, to the women and poor, or the descendants of those once enslaved in America is Independence Day? This nation has continually claimed freedom while practicing oppression. 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is never without blood. What did slave owner and advocate of slavery Advertisement No refuge could save the hireling and slave From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave, And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. And yet, my spirit climbs outside my body and up my arms at the mere memory of Whitney Houston singing 'The Star-Spangled Banner' decked out in her white tracksuit with red and blue accents at the 1991 Super Bowl. Her rendition is both negro spiritual and national anthem. It beckons the promises made that have yet to be fulfilled. It stirs a proud and courageous claim of citizenship that reminds us of our privilege and duty to make American liberty true. Landsmark, in spite of it all, did not let that flag disrupt his American pride. The flag, Beyoncé is taking an American stand on stages and places Black women haven't always been welcome to sing and be free. The show gleams with red, white, and blue. The flag flashes on screens. She wears it as gowns and custom tees alike. She belts out with a very American pride and call to action: Advertisement Can we stand for somethin'? Now is the time to face the wind (now is the time to face the wind) Now ain't the time to pretend Now is the time to let love in (to let love in) Together, can we stand? The Fourth of July, like the flag, and this country is yours and mine even if its originators never wanted us to have it. The Read What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July? Frederick Douglass. Engraving by J.C. Buttre Now is the exact time to revisit the 1852 speech by Frederick Douglass, 'What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July.' 'For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.' The Watch For me, this behind-the-scenes video is not so much about The Met and Vogue as it is about the beautiful Black people, dressed in the clothes that make them feel good, and feeling good together freely that makes me want to watch it on repeat.

Diddy beat her and beat her some more. It is indisputable that the relationship was violent. His defense lawyers conceded to abuse – and despite that admission, the defense called the relationship 'a great, modern love story.' Advertisement No. It was a nightmare. The jury decided what they decided. Here in this space, we hold space for Cassie, who held space not just for herself, but for other survivors. We thank her for her courage. We lift her in her healing. Domestic violence is deadly. And this case has proven how we talk about violence, especially violence against women, is in itself violent. In America, boys and men are not taught to like girls and women. They are trained to attain them. So often, when we are on the receiving end of a man's rage, the suspicion is on us instead of the abuser. Even with a video of her abuse and witnesses who had also been abused or seen the abuse, domestic violence failed to become the issue it should have been. There are places in our mind where past abuse is always present. May Cassie persevere and continue to walk in love and cultivate her joy.
