Hung Up is a fresh weekly newsletter created by Hunter Harris. With four years of experience at Vulture covering movies, music, and pop culture, I've had some memorable moments, like visiting a cat cafe with Jason Derulo.

5 days ago | hunterharris.substack.com | Hunter Harris

Hello from an airport lounge at Heathrow! In case you missed it: I went to Utah to profile Whitney Leavitt from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives for Vulture. Introducing Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend of Bill Belichick, the 73-year-old football coach with eight Super Bowl wins.

Hello from Los Angeles, where I am walking around Silver Lake with an iced coffee and describing it as “so Haim.” I have been to Erewhon every day that I’ve been here — what a glamorous place to feel constantly in the way. On Friday night, I bailed on my plans to stay in my hovel of a hotel room to watch A Body in the Snow: The Trial of Karen Read, a four-episode doc series about a murder trial in Massachusetts.

Black BagNew releaseTaut, tense, exactly what the doctor1 ordered, actually: movie stars on camera being movie stars. Michael Fassbender’s icy insistence. Cate Blanchett cool and aloof.
