We’re talking nonstop phone glow, whispers during solos, and yes — a woman sitting in the aisle like she was at home (WTF?!). Theater etiquette is not optional, and Matty’s got thoughts.

On screen and streaming:

Jon Hamm in Your Friends and Neighbors
Julia Garner’s new project (could be major!)
And the Real Housewives of Miami Season 7 trailer — yes, Miami is on 🔥 Fiyahhh! 🔥
