A soul-scratching milestone of becoming a grown-up is the realization that your parents aren't just your parents, they're people. They have names. They have lives outside of you, and they have flaws. This jarring epiphany is taken to darkly comic extremes in Adulthood, which stars Josh Gad and Kaya Scodelario as siblings who discover a corpse hidden in their childhood home. 

This premise seems like something out of Dateline, but director Alex Winter plumbs Michael M.B. Galvin's script for heart, humor, and some cringe-inducing truths. The result is a comedy that's amusingly irreverent, surprisingly twisted, and fucked-up fun. 

Adulthood is like Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead's twisted sister. 

Gad and Scodelario star as siblings who are practically estranged at the film's start. While Megan's been living in their hometown, raising her two sons, loving her professor husband, and selling sketchy leggings online in a seeming pyramid screen, her brother Noah took off to Los Angeles to become a screenwriter, though he's more focused on smoking pot than selling spec scripts. 

They're reunited by bad news: Their mother Judy (Ingunn Omholt) has taken a bad turn, and is in the hospital. Luckily, her homecare nurse (Billie Lourd) was on hand. Unluckily, returning to their childhood home leads to one shitty discovery after another. A leak in the basement den not only leads to a bunch of their childhood treasures being damaged, it's also ruined the paneling of one wall. And when they probe this strange wet spot, they find a skeleton in a tracksuit. 

Far from a murder mystery, Adulthood is a tale of a comedic cover-up. Sure, Megan and Noah are shocked to find a body in the walls of this suburban home, mere yards from where their mom stored Pokémon cards and old VHS tapes. But they immediately know who this skeleton belongs to, and the big question is, "Now what?" Reasoning that coming clean would only reignite old scars for the victim's family and cause new problems for their own, they decide the best thing to do is dump the remains somewhere remote. But it turns out neither of these siblings shares their parents' skill for criminal cover-ups. So, a comedy of errors ensues, involving blackmail, more kills, and a creepy cousin named Bodhi (Anthony Carrigan)

While their mom is still alive, she's incapable of taking care of this grisly business. So, like the treasured 1991 comedy Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, Adulthood explores the wild feeling of having to be the grown-up when things truly go to hell. Except here instead of finding their inner girlboss, Noah and Megan have to find their inner Robert Durst. 

Kaya Scodelario and Josh Gad make a solid comedy duo. 

The English actress is best known for dramatic roles, like the British TV series Skins, Andrea Arnold's feral adaptation of Wuthering Heights, the YA Mazerunner trilogy, and the gator creature feature Crawl. But here, she plays a terrific straight man to Gad's frantic clown. To his credit, the Broadway and Disney actor tones down his signature hyperactive energy; Noah is leagues away from Book of Mormon's Elder Cunningham or Frozen's Olaf. Here, he's a manchild who turns to video games, weed, and porn in times of stress — or just in general. 

This means that while the siblings' mission is to help their mom get away with murder, the central conflict of the movie is actually about brother and sister learning what it means to be a grown-up. Having fucked off to LA, Noah hasn't had to deal with his sister's life or his mom's declining health. He doesn't even remember the names of his nephews. But Megan's been using her busy role as working mom as an excuse to keep her distance from her brother and mom as well. (This is something the aforementioned caregiver acknowledges with a snarl as she drinks Noah's beer and lays down a number of shocking revelations.) 

While Gad's freaking out as Noah, Megan's keeping her cool, making for punchlines that hit hard and cold. But beneath their contrast and this comedy is the question of what it means to be an adult. Is it defending your family at all costs? Or does it mean taking responsibility and facing the consequences? Or is there a third, more craven and comedic option? 

Billie Lourd and Anthony Carrigan shine as weirdo supporting players. 

Playing the threatening caregiver and the black sheep cousin, Lourd and Carrigan echo the siblings' dynamic, but they are in opposition. One is blackmailing the siblings while the other is called into defend them. And in this, the extremes of cold and calculating and hyper and impulsive are explored to the point that a diner scene between Lourd and Carrigan could be the best in the movie. Staring each other down while both characters swing for badass heft but come off whiffing, they make it seem like anything is possible. And actually, from there the movie gets less exciting as the answers of Galvin's script become less interesting or even feasible. 

Adulthood is more focused on the dysfunctional family comedy aspect than its crime thriller thread, which means that as the stakes get higher, the plot holes get bigger and more distracting. At one point. Noah confidently declares he knows how to best ditch a body because he worked on Blue Bloods. It's a fine joke. But for fans of true crime or even cozy crime, it's too easy to clock the clues being dropped, and frustratingly never acknowledged. This makes for an unsatisfying ending, as it's not so much ambiguous as unearned. 

Still, if you're seeking something funky, funny, and charmingly chaotic, Adulthood delivers. 

Adulthood was reviewed out of its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The movie opens in theaters Sept. 19, and comes to digital on Sept. 23.

Pips is the newest game in the New York Times catalogue. Released in August 2025, the new game puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.

Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.

How to play Pips

If you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. Like dominoes, the tiles are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.

SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for September 15, 2025

The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.

Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:

• Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.

• Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.

• Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.

• Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.

• Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.

If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there's only one correct answer.

If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Not the day you're after? Here's the solution to yesterday's Mini Crossword.

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards' audience gave Stephen Colbert a significant show of support on Sunday, offering a standing ovation when the beloved Late Show host took to the stage. Colbert announced in July that CBS had cancelled the long-running talk show, mere days after he'd accused its parent company Paramount of paying a bribe to President Donald Trump. 

SEE ALSO: All the winners from the 2025 Emmys

"While I have your attention, is anyone hiring?" Colbert quipped after over half a minute of cheering. "Because I've got 200 very well-qualified candidates with me tonight who will be available in June."

Colbert then handed off his own resume and significantly outdated head shot to Harrison Ford, asking that he pass it on to Stephen Spielberg, before presenting the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

Colbert later returned to the Emmys stage to accept the award for Outstanding Talk Series, with The Late Show beating out The Daily Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live for the win. This time the audience didn't just give Colbert and his crew a standing ovation, but also chanted his name.

"I want to thank CBS for giving us the privilege to be a part of the late night tradition, which I hope continues long after we're no longer doing this show," Colbert tactfully said in his acceptance speech. He also thanked his crew and his family, and dedicated the award to his parents, in-laws, and Amy Cole, his longtime executive assistant who passed away last March.

"Ten years ago in September of 2015, Spike Jones stopped by my office and said, 'Hey, what do you want this show to be about?'" Colbert said. "And I said, 'Ah, Spike, I don't know how you could do it, but I'd kind of like to do a late night show, you know, a late night comedy show that was about love.'

"And I don't know if I ever figured that out, but at a certain point — and you can guess what that point was — I realized that in some ways we were doing a late night comedy show about loss. And that's related to love, because sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. And 10 years later in September of 2025, my friends, I have never loved my country more desperately. 

"God bless America. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!"

CBS' decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was swiftly criticised by numerous other celebrities and late show hosts after it was announced in July. Social media users also expressed skepticism regarding CBS' claim that the cancellation was "purely a financial decision" and "not related in any way to the show’s performance, content, or other matters happening at Paramount."

This appeared to be a reference to Paramount's then ongoing attempts to secure the Trump administration's approval for a proposed merger with Skydance Media — efforts that some speculate may have coloured its recent decisions. 

In early July, Paramount agreed it would pay Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit in which he claimed they'd deceptively edited a 60 Minutes interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris to be favourable to her leading into November's presidential election. Paramount had previously called the lawsuit "completely without merit," making its capitulation appear highly suspect to many.

One such person Colbert himself, who has long been a vocal critic of Trump and who called out the settlement as a bribe. Trump subsequently responded to news of the Late Show's cancellation by stating that he "absolutely love[ed] that Colbert got fired," and calling for other late shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live to be cancelled next. The Trump administration approved the Skydance/Paramount merger one week after the Late Show's cancellation was announced.

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday, with host Nate Bargatze kicking off the ceremony with a hilarious television-themed variation on his popular "Washington's Dream" Saturday Night Live skit.

Playing the all-electronic television's inventor Philo T. Fansworth, Bargatze rallied his disheartened assistants Mikey Day, Bowen Yang, and James Austin Johnson with bold visions of what TV would offer in the future. This included channels for every culture, like Telmundo for Spanish speakers, BET for Black viewers, and even a television network for white people: CBS. 

"And will there be a network for Asian people, sir?" asked Yang.

"What's that? You asked about streaming?" said Bargatze, launching into an explanation of how streaming companies will make their own shows about real murderers.

"Who would watch shows about murderers for entertainment?" asked Day.

"Your wife, my wife, everyone's wife," Bargatze replied. "And that is why we will pay the streaming subscription fees."

"Ah, I see," said Yang. "With streaming the viewer pays a fee, so there are no ads."

"If only it were so simple," Bargatze responded.

If you like playing daily word games like Wordle, then Hurdle is a great game to add to your routine.

There are five rounds to the game. The first round sees you trying to guess the word, with correct, misplaced, and incorrect letters shown in each guess. If you guess the correct answer, it'll take you to the next hurdle, providing the answer to the last hurdle as your first guess. This can give you several clues or none, depending on the words. For the final hurdle, every correct answer from previous hurdles is shown, with correct and misplaced letters clearly shown.

An important note is that the number of times a letter is highlighted from previous guesses does necessarily indicate the number of times that letter appears in the final hurdle.

If you find yourself stuck at any step of today's Hurdle, don't worry! We have you covered.

We're moving towards the New Moon, and each night the moon is becoming less and less visible.

It's day 23 of the lunar cycle, a series of eight unique phases of the moon's visibility. The whole cycle takes about 29.5 days, according to NASA, and these different phases happen as the Sun lights up different parts of the moon whilst it orbits Earth, so let's see what's happening with the moon tonight, Sept. 15.

What is today’s moon phase?

As of Monday, Sept. 15, the moon phase is Waning Crescent, and it is 38% lit up to us on Earth, according to NASA's Daily Moon Observation.

So, what can we see tonight. Well, with just your naked eye you'll be able to spot the Kepler Crater and the Tycho Crater when you look up. If you want to see more, track down some binoculars and you'll also be able to see the Grimaldi Basin, the Gassendi Crater, and the Clavius Crater.

If you also have a telescope, point it upwards to add the Reiner Gamma, Schiller Crater, and the Fra Mauro Highlands to your list.

When is the next full moon?

The next full moon will be on Oct. 6. The last full moon was on Sept. 7.

What are moon phases?

According to NASA, moon phases are caused by the 29.5-day cycle of the moon’s orbit, which changes the angles between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. Moon phases are how the moon looks from Earth as it goes around us. We always see the same side of the moon, but how much of it is lit up by the Sun changes depending on where it is in its orbit. This is how we get full moons, half moons, and moons that appear completely invisible. There are eight main moon phases, and they follow a repeating cycle:

New Moon - The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).

Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).

First Quarter - Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.

Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.

Full Moon - The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.

Waning Gibbous - The moon starts losing light on the right side.

Last Quarter (or Third Quarter) - Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.

Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Tune out the naysayers because radio is alive and well. The likes of Amazon Music and Spotify were supposed to bring about a revolution in how we listen to music, but radio refuses to go quietly. Millions of people still tuning in to their favourite shows and stations, despite all of the podcasts and streaming platforms now available.

This is partly because of the growing popularity of DAB (digital audio broadcasting) radio, which is an upgrade itself on the very concept of radio. It promises less interference, a bigger choice of stations, and a stronger signal. Sounds good, right?

In other words, you need a DAB radio. After all, most DAB radios double up as a Bluetooth speaker, so you’re getting a 2-in-1 device. Before you part with your hard-earned cash, it’s worth knowing more about DAB radios and what they can do. Here's some useful information and a round-up of the best DAB radios right now.

What is DAB radio?

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting — a nifty term for digital technology that transmits radio stations in excellent audio quality. DAB technology combines numerous stations into a group called a multiplex.

What is a DAB radio multiplex?

There are several national multiplexes in the UK. What this means is that multiple stations are broadcast together using a single frequency, as opposed to FM radio, where each station needs its own specific frequency. Your DAB radio receives the multiplex and picks out each individual station.

Do DAB radios pick up FM too?

Most DAB radios also have the option for FM, but make sure before purchasing — especially if having FM as well as DAB is a deal breaker.

What stations are available on DAB?

There are currently more than 50 national stations broadcasting in DAB. These include all the big hitters — BBC Radio 1, Capital, Classic FM, Heart, LBC, Magic, Radio X, talkRADIO, TalkSport, Virgin, and lots more. That’s not counting all the local and regional DAB stations too, which total 500-plus. These can also be listened to via compatible smart speakers, or over the internet via a desktop or smart device.

Do DAB radios have good sound quality?

Digital signals are generally more reliable than analogue signals, and DAB reception now stretches across almost all of the UK. This means that digital radios should be able to pick up a better quality of sound. More information can also be sent through digital signals, meaning stations can provide details like the name of the song or the artist.

Can you get DAB radio in your area?

Unlike regular radio, you won’t get an annoying hiss if you’re in a weak area. You either get DAB radio, or you don’t. For UK listeners, there’s a postcode checker. Unless you’re way out in the sticks, you should be fine. Experts recommend re-tuning your DAB every now and then to make sure you’re getting all available stations.

What is DAB+?

DAB+ is an upgraded version of DAB. It allows even more stations to be broadcast and has the capacity for even higher audio quality. Not all DAB radios have DAB+ so be sure to check. You’ll generally find that premium DAB radios are equipped with DAB+. Some DAB-only models are upgradeable to DAB+ with a firmware download.

What is internet radio?

This differs slightly from DAB radio. It's radio broadcast online, which means you'll need a radio with WiFi capability to listen to it. Some of the radios listed below have WiFi, though not all of them — so be sure you check the specifications before making a purchase. The benefit of internet radio is that you can listen to stations from all around the globe, meaning you have lots more choice. All you need is WiFi.

What is the best DAB radio?

It's no surprise that some of the most popular audio brands have released digital radios, and we’ve tracked down a selection of the very best options. All you need to do is pick a favourite and tune in. There's something here for every listener.

These are the best digital radios for 2025.

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards took place on Sunday night, honouring some of the biggest names and best shows in television over the past year. 

Hosted by comedian Nate Bargatze, this year's Emmy ceremony was once again held at L.A. Live's Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Fortunately, those in the U.S. who weren't blessed with an invitation were still able to watch the 2025 Emmy Awards live on CBS.

Severance seemed practically guaranteed to walk away with a trophy, boasting an impressive 27 nominations across both the Primetime and Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Having picked up eight Emmys in last week's ceremony, Severance rounded it out to 10 on Sunday with two more trophies which saw Tramell Tillman making history and Britt Lower dropping a cheeky Easter egg.

The popular Apple TV+ show was trailed in nominations by crime drama The Penguin's 24, while The Studio and The White Lotus both scored 23 nominations each. However, it was the The Studio that walked away with 13 awards (breaking The Bear's 2024 comedy win record), The Penguin taking nine, and The White Lotus winning only one for the theme song. Meanwhile, The Last of Us and Hacks received 16 and 14 nominations, respectively, with Hacks stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder winning awards — The Last of Us only won for Outstanding Sound Editing.

Plus, HBO Max's The Pitt took home five Emmys after 13 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series and acting wins for Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa.

However, it was Adolescence which ultimately took home the most trophies on Sunday, picking up six Primetime Emmy Awards. This included Outstanding Limited Series as well as writing, directing, and acting awards for Stephen Graham, Erin Doherty, and 15-year-old Owen Cooper.

Shockingly, Andor received only three Primetime nominations, with none of its cast up for contention in any of the acting categories. As such, the Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, and Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series categories were the highly praised Star Wars series' only hope of taking home an Emmy. Fortunately, Andor's Dan Gilroy did ultimately win the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.
