The Weekend Setup: October 19, 2023

What to Watch: Leatherheads on Peacock

Looking for a fun comedy movie to watch this weekend? Look no further than Leatherheads, directed by Danny Ocean himself, George Clooney. A surprisingly underrated film in my opinion, Leatherheads is a hilarious and engaging story that takes place in the 1920s, following the exploits of a professional football league as football’s popularity is just starting to take off. Starring the incredibly talented actors George Clooney, John Krasinski and Renée Zellweger and Clooney’s direction is confident. The film’s nods to classic screwball comedies though is what made it a charming and delightful watch for me. Available on Peacock if you’re interested in watching.

Style Upgrade: Five Pocket Pant

Upgrade your fall style this year with a nice pair of five pocket pants – a more stylish and versatile option than traditional denim jeans. The five pocket pants are like a combination of chinos and jeans. More fashionable than traditional jeans, they pair well with a variety of styles and can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Brands like Banana Republic, Peter Millar, and Bonobos offer their own versions of this classic pant, but my personal favorite is Huckberry’s Flint and Tinder 365 pants. They are incredibly comfortable, durable and versatile. I have a feeling this autumn staple could quickly become a favorite in your closet as well.

What to Read: When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi

When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi is a poignant and powerful memoir that details the life of a talented neurosurgeon as he faces terminal lung cancer. A beautifully written account of his journey from doctor to patient, Kalanithi’s book is a reminder that life is both fragile and precious. Through elegant prose, he shares his thoughts on the meaning of life, the purpose of medicine, and the value of human connection. Kalanithi’s honest and vulnerable approach to storytelling has the ability to move any reader. A remarkable read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the human experience and the fragility of life.
