Brawny Is Replacing Their Iconic Lumberjack Dude With Women for International Women’s Day

If you’re still feeling totally inspired by the recent history-making Women’s March, then get ready to feel that vibe all over again as International Women’s Day gets closer. While we look back at the women who’ve fought for our rights in the past and those who are continuing the noble fight, Brawny is celebrating Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day by ditching their lumberjack dude for the month of March and introducing a league of lady lumberjacks (who happen to be IRL STEM stars) in his place.

Through their #StrengthHasNoGender campaign, your fave paper towels brand is “highlighting the bold accomplishments of women who exhibit strength and resilience and have broken down barriers in traditionally male-dominated professions.” Featuring women who work in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields, the “lumberjacks” are a group of pretty darn impressive ladies.

Robert Pattinson fans are going to love his new movie. Not only does the Twilight star take the lead in this new campy, sci-fi thriller, but there are so many versions of him. Because in this world, Robert's Mickey is an Expendable, which means when his boss sends him on a dangerous mission that costs him his life, they're able to just print another version of him...as many times as they need. A world where someone can literally be labeled expendable is not ideal, but a world with endless Robert Pattinsons? Sign me up. Watch the new Mickey 17 trailer and check out everything else you need to know about the movie!

What is Mickey 17 about?

Mickey 17 Plot

Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) signs up to be an Expendable — which basically means he gets to die, for a living. Sent on countless life-threatening (or rather, life-ending) missions in a quest to colonize the ice world of Niflheim, Mickey dies and is cloned over and over. But when two Mickeys end up surviving at the same time, everything is thrown into chaos. Mickey 17 comes from Parasite writer & director Bong Joon Ho.

"I've been the biggest fan of Bong for many, many years; he's my hero," Robert Pattinson said at 2024's CinemaCon (via Entertainment Weekly). "I got sent the script; I was told, 'You're gonna love the script, but the part is impossible.' That was very, very exciting to me. I thought it was the most unusual, bizarre, funny script."

"Mickey 17 is someone who has the lowest expectations of his life, and yet the world keeps pushing those expectations, to the point where he has a job that tortures him every day," he continues. "And then 18 comes along, and he's got frontal lobe damage and no self-control, libido out of control...It's like playing an evil brother or twin."

When does Mickey 17 come out?

Mickey 17 Release Date

Mickey 17 will hit theaters January 31, 2025. There are so many amazing New 2025 Movies, and I can't wait to see every single one.

Who's starring in Mickey 17?

Mickey 17 Cast

In addition to Robert Pattinson (and Robert Pattinson and Robert Pattinson), the cast of Mickey 17 stars Naomi Ackie, Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffalo.

The day after Hacks season 3 premiered its finale, the series was renewed for a fourth season. That's how you know a TV show's good! The series just nabbed three Emmys during the September 15 awards show, including Best Comedy Series and Best Lead Actress for Jean Smart. And it's no surprise: the junior season showed off Jean's acting chops when her character Deborah and Hannah Einbinder's Ava got into a major, life-altering fight that included backstabbing, betrayal, and blackmail (prestige TV's favorite 'B's).

But don't worry, Lucia Aniello, one of the show's creators, promises Hacks season 4 will pick right up where the finale left off. “I think the tease that I can give legally is that we pick up 20 minutes or so after where we left off,” she said after the Emmys win (via The Wrap). “The tension is still high, and there’s still a lot of fallout to explore.”

Here's everything you need to know about Hacks season 4, including when you can stream it (and where to stream the first three seasons, of course).

Is there a season 4 of Hacks coming?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

Yes, Hacks season 4 is on its way! Word of the renewal first broke on May 30 after the season 3 finale "Bulletproof" aired on the 29.

What is Hacks season 4 going to be about?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

Season 4 of Hacks will pick right where season 3 left off, with Ava and Deborah at odds. Deborah hired someone else to the head writer position of her show, and Ava threatens to tell the world one of Deborah's darkest secrets to get a spot on the team: that Deborah slept with network exec Bob Lipka before she got her own show.

Meanwhile, Deb's daughter DJ is about to have a baby, Jimmy gets Kayla to agree to stay in the business, while Marcus tells Damien that he's leaving for a new job.

When is Hacks season 4 coming out?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

We don't have an official Hacks season 4 release date yet, but we're expecting the show to hit Max in May of 2025. Seasons 1 and 2 premiered in May of 2021 and 2022, respectively, while season 3 was only delayed because of the writer's strike and Jean Smart's heart surgery.

Who's in the cast of Hacks?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder star as Deborah and Ava in the cast of Hacks. Actors like Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, and Christopher Lloyd have all had guest roles, and Jean and Hannah hope season 4 has just as many iconic names, namely Carol Burnett and Elton John.

“I worked with her once very briefly, and I just adore her, and I just think she’s incredible,” Jean told Deadline of Carol Burnett, while Hannah agreed it "would be sick" to have Elton John guest star on the show.

Which season of Hacks is best?

Jake Giles Netter/Max

A lot of fans agree that Hacks season 3 is the best installment of the series yet. You can stream all three seasons on Max right now and see if you agree!

I like to think of curtains as a room's final accessory, like putting on earrings before heading for a night out. They instantly warm up a room, literally and aesthetically, and can be the statement piece or the neutral backdrop to your favorite room. They also provide privacy, blocking unwanted views and light, which is essential in bedrooms, living areas, and offices. We found 15 curtains in a slew of materials, patterns, and styles that will elevate your style and space. Make sure to measure your window’s width and height to determine the right length and width of the drapes, letting them hang to the floor or a little beyond it, and dress your rooms for fall and beyond!
