What’s the deal with the Dare? Harrison Patrick Smith makes bawdy (and sometimes divisive) party music that has New York buzzing — and Charli XCX inviting him to collaborate. nyti.ms/4cJLZz0

“Inside Out” and “Inside Out 2” are hits at the box office and also the school counselor’s office: Therapists and educators say the films have been remarkably helpful as a common language they can use with children and parents alike. nyti.ms/4dA2TAI

In which I use the New York Times to argue one of my hottest takes: There’s no such thing as a bad movie accent! (Even the “bad” ones are fun!) nytimes.com/2023/08/18/movie…
