Hell Yeah, ‘Sinners' Comes Home to Streaming Next Week
Ryan Coogler's period piece vampire thriller has been the talk of the town since its mid-April release, and you'll be able to watch it on Prime Video or Apple TV. Price-wise, Prime Video and Fandango list the film at $25 to buy, but there's no prices to rent it at time of writing. For the physical media crowd, Sinners hits all the standard formats the following month on Tuesday, July 8. Special features include standard deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes featurettes on the movie's music, creature FX, and more. An HBO Max release date wasn't set.
Earlier this week, Sinners finally came to the people of Clarksdale, Mississippi—where the film takes place—following a passionate online movement to get it screened in the theaterless town. It's playing in town six times over a three-day period, and per Reuters, WB provided the city's civic auditorium with a big screen, projector, and sound system.
Coogler attended the screening with production staff, including composer Ludwig Göransson and actor Miles Caton, who plays Sammie. Clarksidale residents and those in the area flocked to see it, and 'hundreds' came to attend the first screening of day one. Attendees praised the film for its portrayal of their town and the Jim Crow era, and mayor Chuck Espy told Reuters the film's attention could help draw attention to the town.
At time of writing, Sinners is still playing in theaters in standard, non-IMAX formats. WB's not in a rush to pull it from theaters, but you'll be glad to have it at home once they do.

Vogue readers horrified by use of ‘disturbing' AI models in Guess advert
Vogue readers have been left disturbed by the use of an AI model in the prestigious fashion magazine's August issue. The double-page advert, which features a blonde model wearing two different outfits across separate pages, was taken out by the label Guess and 'produced' by AI marketing Seraphinne Vallora. In one photo, the model sits with a cup of coffee in a light blue floral playsuit. In another, the AI figure leans against a blue wall in a black and white chevron print dress, clutching a matching Guess bag. Readers were alerted to the fact the model was AI generated through a fine print label that reads: 'Seraphinne Vallora on AI'. Seraphinne Vallora is an agency that designs 'editorial level AI-driven marketing campaigns and cinematic videos'. Its work has also been featured in Harper's Bazaar and Elle. 'That's disturbing. This is the direction AI should not be going in... wow,' one person wrote in response to the images of the AI model on X/Twitter. 'Great. The new beauty standard will be, literally, unobtainable because it's not real,' another social media user remarked. Others were more optimistic about the use of AI: 'The future is here. Takes less time and much cheaper to make,' one supporter wrote. The Independent has contacted Vogue, Guess and Seraphinne Vallora for comment. Plus size model Felicity Hayward, who has been in the fashion industry for over a decade, told the BBC that using AI models in campaigns 'feels lazy and cheap'. Hayward said Vogue's decision to include the advert was 'very disheartening and quite scary', adding she worried the practice could undermine years of work towards more diversity in the fashion industry. The controversy comes after OpenAI and Vogue's publisher Condé Nast announced a multi-year partnership that allows content from the magazine to appear in ChatGPT search results. Condé Nast's CEO, Roger Lynch, said in an email reported by the New York Times that it was 'crucial' for the publisher to 'meet audiences where they are and embrace new technologies'.

Tennessee Titans' best moments: Remembering Derrick Henry's stiff-arm on Josh Norman
If you'll indulge me, here's a quick personal story: On Oct. 13, 2020, I was about three months into a new relationship. It's a Tuesday evening. I'm living alone in Oxford, Mississippi, quarantined in my apartment for what felt like the 4,000th-straight day. I've got Titans-Bills on the TV, a strange midweek treat to break up the monotony of Month 7 of lockdowns. And my girlfriend calls me. She's had a rough day. She needs to vent. Call me Frasier Crane, because I'm listening. Or at least I think I'm listening. Here is No. 17 among The Tennessean's best moments from the Tennessee Titans. Because I look up at the TV and Titans RB Derrick Henry has just absolutely obliterated Bills cornerback Josh Norman. Henry has just flung Norman like he was flicking a booger. It was the kind of stiff arm that made me sad because I knew ancient Greek poets never got to experience this dazzling beauty. Norman was perpendicular to the ground one second, then parallel the next, then on it the third. Henry didn't just take Norman's lunch money. He took it, invested it in a high-yield account, cashed out and then used his dividends to buy the cafeteria to rewrite the rules so that Norman would never be allowed to eat lunch again. I wanted to scream. I wanted to high-five something. I wanted to find a mountaintop, or at the very least a tall hill, where I could primally yell so loudly that I scared all the birds out of their trees and forced them to fly away in unison. But I was on the phone. And my girlfriend had a hard day. So I used all my experience gleaned from 10 years in press boxes and stifled all my sports-fan urges and kept that stiff-upper-lip to make it seem like I was listening. The play, famously, didn't count. Offsetting penalties erased it from the record books. But we all know what we saw. On a random Tuesday in 2020, Henry landed the stiff arm to which all other stiff arms in NFL history will forever be compared. The still of Norman, hanging in the air, roughly knee high as Henry looks poised to plow through him a second time, is as intimidating of an image as any that exists. It's cool. It's bad. It's a moment that deserves the kind of scream I couldn't give it. But good news: That woman and I are happily married now. Still kinda regret not finding that mountaintop, though.

About Last Week: What Having A Meltdown Says About You As A Leader
When professional response, much like a frayed rope, is about to break. In a sea of quiet leadership mantras and emotionless, direct communications, there exists another leadership style. One that is hyper authentic, effective and, yes, professional. Leaders that deeply feel also have seats at the table and are often more connected, more open and far more collaborative than those at the table simply checking boxes. A shared purpose and sense of belonging are great ways to empower team members, engage in constructive competition, and push outcomes from 'meh' to 'WOW!' What might an occasional meltdown say about you? You are human It is okay to have moments. It is okay to lean into yourself. It is okay to free your mind and to release gaps in accountability, frustrating interactions and even misinterpreted slights. Choosing the silent path forward, 'might seem like a good way to avoid conflict and emotional pain, but it usually comes back to bite you in the end,' shares Crystal Raypole in Healthline. It doesn't do anyone any favors to suppress response. While the workplace does not need toddler-like tantrums at every turn, in positions of leadership it is critical to model realistic response and prove that no one is immune from frustration and those frustrations can absolutely overwhelm any human being. At times, we all could use help pushing through that noise. And sometimes pushing through requires noise. You care Emotions are integral in leadership. In fact, they can inspire others to drop set their masks aside and feel comfortable sharing their true selves. Not caring results in status quo, low-to-no creativity and mostly, as the Talking Heads famously mused, 'same as it ever was.' For optimum effectiveness, no matter the delivery tone, we want engaged, empathetic and authentic colleagues and leaders. You let it out If you don't allow yourself to let feelings come out, where do they go? The answers are endless, however it's rarely a good thing to lock down emotions and empower them to fester. Much like resentment, when not released, feelings grow exponentially. The last person you should allow to hold you back is you. Why many work to remain emotionless Is it better to offer your authentic self or a robotic shell to those in the workplace? When you fear the judgment of others, you cement your true self to a back burner, constantly needing to calculate each ensuing answer, conversation and opinion. Fearing judgment imprisons a leader to accept boundaries as a rule of self. Blindly sticking within bounds stifles creative thinking, innovation and improvement. "Some people may believe that showing negative emotions can lead to others seeing them as weak.' According to Medical News Today, 'people may hide feelings to avoid showing weakness or vulnerability to others. Some people may believe that showing negative emotions can lead to others seeing them as weak.' Having recently displayed a bit of an emotional meltdown (understatement of 2025), I asked the lucky recipient of my tirade, 'Does this make me come across as weak?' I simply had to ask. The response I received was, 'No! Quite the opposite!' He went on to detail how hiding feelings, especially when a boiling point has been reached, is unhealthy for all involved. It's safer to present a stoic persona in the office. But is it realistic? Is it effective? Is it modeling strong leadership? Are you really protecting yourself or are you trapping yourself in a pressure cooker? You can either choose when to blow or have it burst out when least expected. The impact of burying emotions Prioritizing archaic societal expectations over what is actually going on inside your mind and/or body can pack a punch. The negative impact from burying emotions takes a toll. Bottling up feelings leads to stress, anxiety and unrealistic expectations of self. If you are lucky enough to be surrounded by a strong team, proving a human response is survivable speaks volumes. You get to have your moments. Bottling emotions can lead to chronic stress, which impacts the heart, body and mind. Dr. Colleen Mullen says, "The stress caused to the body can lead to increased diabetes and heart disease risks. Other effects can be memory difficulties." Much like a ticking time bomb, letting the emotions out in bite-size bursts is far more manageable than one dramatic explosion. It has been said that, 'authentic professional relationships are the heart of personal well-being, career growth, and fulfillment.' It is impossible to build authentic, reciprocal relationships without sharing your own true self. In a nutshell Displaying emotional histrionics is rarely a great path, but, on occasion, embracing those escalated feelings and sharing them certainly lightens the weight of those emotions. It's also an effective way to turn that societal frown upside down. Normalizing differences in how colleagues deal with stress, cope with helplessness and lean into releasing that weight drives true acceptance that successful leadership can look and feel different. Much like 'if you see something say something', find your outlets and, when overwhelmed, find those outlets and have support moving past the heavy thoughts and feelings. If your outlets are not comfortable working you through those moments, find other outlets. Through reciprocal support comes authenticity, fresh ideas and continuously improved outcomes.
