On Wednesday, December 10th, The Knockturnal attended Citrus Wonderland, hosted by Florida Orange Juice, the original wellness drink, at Union Square Kitchen. The immersive culinary experience celebrated food, flavor, and wellness just in time for the holidays. In partnership with celebrity chef and TV personality Jordan Andino, the event invited guests to explore creative ways to incorporate orange juice into seasonal cooking far beyond the breakfast table.
The entire Regal Cinemas complex in Times Square was reserved for the New York premiere of “Marty Supreme” ahead of its Christmas Day release. The house was filled with press, guild members, special guests, and celebrities, (Zohran Mamdani, Jack Harlow, Sissy Spacek, Benny Safdie, Anna Wintour, and more) alongside 100 students personally invited by Chalamet from LaGuardia High School’s drama department. The energy was palpable, young artists seated among industry veterans, all waiting for the lights to dim.
The Knockturnal was invited to a holiday celebration centered on compassion, culture, and community, as hip-hop artists Cash Cobain and Bay Swag partnered with New York City dining destination Sei Less to host an intimate gathering for 45–50 teenagers from Children of Promise NYC — a nonprofit organization supporting young people whose families have been impacted by the criminal justice system.
The 2025 Root 100 Gala delivered a powerful and reimagined celebration of Black excellence, bringing together influential voices from across arts, activism, business, politics, faith, media, and culture.
Armanii admits he is a little nervous. Not about the interview itself, just the day in general. New York, deep into a press run, juggling schedules, adjusting to the cold temperatures, and counting down the hours until his album “THE IMPACT” officially drops. Though he came off as anxious, he assures me the nerves feel less like anxiety and more like awareness. He knows this is a big moment, and he’s ready for it.
Dolores Fonzi spoke with the Knockturnal about her film “Belén.”
The 22nd Marrakech International Film Festival screened some of the award season’s buzziest films and hosted a diverse slate of international stars.
