Weekend Whats

What to Movie: You need a light, quirky, musical, unique, feel-good movie to break up the weekend of intense news, protests, military parades, and your kids forgetting that its Father’s Day (OK, maybe that’s just my weekend). The Ballad of Wallis Island (on Peacock and elsewhere) is just the ticket.

+ What to Merch: My merch partner Cotton Bureau is celebrating their 12th anniversary with free shipping (use the code Happy12 at checkout). So this is the perfect time to score some NextDraft gear, from the logo Ts, to the Pro Democracy shirts, to the Fact Around and Find Out Tumbler. It’s all in the NextDraft Store.

+ What to Doc: “Oscar-winning filmmaker Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson directs his sophomore feature documentary follow-up to ‘Summer of Soul.’ SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius) examines the life and legacy of Sly & The Family Stone, the groundbreaking band led by the charismatic and enigmatic Sly Stone.” Sly Lives is on Hulu.

+ What to Pod: Michelle Obama welcomed Bruce Springsteen to her podcast.
