Peter Sohn is more than just an animator, voice actor, and director. The talented Pixar employee's gregarious nature even inspired the character Russell from Up. His latest film, Elemental, is out in theaters today, and serves as a loving tribute to his late parents. 

Quote: “Whatever else it is—a parable about immigration, a technical effects achievement, a weathered survivor of the pandemic—Elemental is a naked expression of Pete Sohn.” —Tim Greiving

The 2023 U.S. Open tees off this week with many watchful eyes wondering whether the PGA Tour–LIV deal will overshadow the actual golf being played. We ask all of the important questions before a winner is crowned on Sunday.

Quote: “We’re here to get you ready for the USGA’s annual forensic exam of nerves and temperament, which is taking place at a moment when practically everyone tangentially involved in this tournament is a trembling shell of their previous self.” —Elizabeth Nelson

54-year-old director and current TikTok trendsetter Wes Anderson returns to his home state of Texas with his latest movie, Asteroid City. Despite being Bill Murray-less, the film feels like a return to form with a stacked cast of stars, including Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson. 

Quote: “Asteroid City orbits enough of the director’s established and obsessive pet themes—family, loneliness, theatricality, gadgetry, grief—that it surely comes from an honest, personal place.”—Adam Nayman
