Director Austin Vesely takes a bite out of the horror genre for his first feature film. Backed by studio A24, the slasher stars Chance the Rapper and Deadpool 2's Zazie Beetz as a pair of delivery drivers who work for "a pretty shitty pizza place" that just happens to be built on a gateway to Hell. When their fellow drivers start getting sliced up, the two attempt to track down the culprit who may, or may not, be a werewolf. The film also stars some other familiar faces like Stranger Things's Joe Keery, Will Brill from The OA, and Paul Scheer as well as some pretty gnarly ghosts.

You probably know the exact region or even vineyard your wine comes from. But what about that cork in the bottle? Although they seem menial, that plug is just as vital to your glass of Cab as the grapes inside and the method used to harvest the cork to make them is equally as strenuous.

Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.
