How Oz Perkins Found Satan: “The Devil Is Delicious”

Osgood “Oz” Perkins isn’t interested in serial killers.

The writer and director of Neon’s buzzy new horror movie Longlegs says he’s never shared pop culture’s morbid fascination with the psychology of psychopaths, nor was he particularly drawn to the FBI agents who dedicate their careers to catching them. But Perkins knew he could sneak a more personal exploration of family trauma and the lies parents tell their children into a suspenseful crime thriller.

“A lot of what I do and what I think about is about my parents, their lives and their deaths, their presences and their absences,” Perkins tells Inverse.

To unpack all that’s happening both on the surface of Perkins’ chilling thriller and the true meaning that lurks within its cold, dark frames, Inverse spoke to the man himself to break down some of the scariest and weirdest moments in what may prove to be 2024’s creepiest film.

Hands-On With Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro

Among all of the new products Samsung announced at Unpacked in Paris, Samsung’s new Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 ($179.99) and Buds 3 Pro ($249.99) might be the most divisive... because of how much they look like AirPods.

Everybody — and I do mean everybody — I spoke to who got a first look at Samsung’s redesigned wireless earbuds said the obvious: the Galaxy Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro look like AirPods 3 and AirPods Pro 2, respectively.

Samsung, known for making wireless earbuds shaped like beans and marbles, seems to have had a change of heart on the whole stem-less design, as the Buds 3 and Buds 3 Pro have multifunctional “blades.” I’ve not had a chance to listen to the new wireless earbuds, but they sure do look like AirPods, even if they have some unique AI-powered features that you won’t find on Apple’s white buds.
