A while back, I saw Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, which I can finally write about, now that the film is in theaters this weekend. Go see it! It's fun. Esquire cover man Chris Pine is delightful. So is Regé-Jean Page. The whole thing reminded me of slurping jello shots at the bizarro D&D pop-up tavern at San Diego Comic-Con, where the joint was rigged with blaring '00s alt-rock and Rainforest Cafe effects.
Kristina Loggia You tend to start a talk with Anthony Edwards in the middle, like you’re picking up a conversation you’d left unfinished a day or two before.

Don't look now, but Family Guy is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. (Yes, it has really been that long.) The long-running animated series, which just concluded its 22nd season, debuted in 1999. With the help of subversive humor from creator Seth MacFarlane, the series about a Rhode Island family and their talking dog continues to feature big musical numbers, whip-smart satire, and downright hilarious jokes. Family Guy's main voice cast, which consists of MacFarlane, Seth Green, Mila Kunis, and Alex Borstein, recently sat down with Esquire to reminisce about a quarter of a century of TV greatness.
When we first heard that Michael Mann—the director of Heat, Collateral, and The Last of the Mohicans—would direct a film about Enzo Ferrari, we were sold. Then Adam Driver signed up to play Ferrari, the automobile-world pioneer. Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gadon, and Patrick Dempsey followed suit. This morning, a new trailer for Ferrari hit the streets. Suddenly, dear reader, I want to go very, very fast. In the high-speed teaser, we see Enzo Ferrari (Adam Driver) in the midst of a crisis.
In Wednesday night's finale of Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, Truman Capote dies while thinking of Babe Paley, his beloved Swan and former best friend. It’s been nine years since he spoke with Paley—she cut him off after Capote’s story, “La Côte Basque,1965,” published in Esquire. Even in his final moments, she’s the only thing on his mind. Episode 8, aptly titled “Phantasm Forgiveness,” is a trippy, time-traveling hour of television that jumps between the past, present, and future to clear Capote’s conscience.
