You asked, and the Broccoli City Festival team delivered. 

Washington D.C.’s premiere music festival — showcasing the city’s best food, culture, businesses, and local talent — made its return this past weekend at Audi Field.

Later that night, the highlight of the festival was undoubtedly Megan Thee Stallion’s performance. Introduced by the ever-inspiring Issa Rae, who praised fellow hottie Megan for her “bars and body,” the atmosphere was charged with excitement. In true Rae fashion, she also announced her new album, “Issa The Pony,” because as she stated, “she’s not quite a pony yet.” This set the stage for a could only be unforgettable performance from the stallion, herself.

Megan Thee Stallion did not disappoint. She performed a series of fan favorites including “Savage,” “Hot Girl Summer,” and “Body, blending high-energy anthems with recent releases.

One of the standout performances of Sunday was delivered by Victoria Monét. Taking the stage following Kaytranada (who was upset for having his set cut short), Monét captivated the audience with her smooth vocals and dynamic stage presence. Performing GRAMMY award-winning hits like “Moment” and “Experience,” she showcased her impressive range and undeniable talent. Her set was a perfect blend of sultry and energetic, and set the tone for Gunna who would close out the show.

One of the most notable improvements this year was the new venue at Audi Field. The larger, more accommodating space made for a seamless experience for attendees. The layout was thoughtfully designed, with stages strategically placed to avoid sound overlap and plenty of room for festival-goers to move around comfortably. The addition of seating at the new venue also truly elevated the festival experience, making it easy to navigate and enjoy all that the event had to offer.

It wouldn’t be right to talk about Broccoli City Festival without addressing the elephant in the room — the weather! The beautiful weather also played a significant role in the festival’s success, and for the first time in years, concert-goers enjoyed clear skies and warm temperatures, with no rain in sight. The sunshine added to the vibrant energy of the event, creating a perfect backdrop for the performances and activities.

While the music was undoubtedly the star of the show, the 2024 Broccoli City Festival offered much more than just incredible performances.

The vendor area buzzed with energy, offering a diverse array of products and services that highlighted the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the community, such as the Spice Suite, SELF Handmade Incense, Honey Glow, KIN Apparel and Tooth Couture. Attendees could explore a myriad of vendors featuring everything from handcrafted jewelry and unique fashion pieces to artisanal foods and natural skincare products. Each vendor brought something special to the festival, creating a marketplace that was as exciting and dynamic as the music itself. This curated experience allowed festival-goers to support small businesses and discover new favorites, making the event a true celebration of culture and community.

The art installations were another highlight, providing visually stunning and thought-provoking pieces that added to the festival’s vibrant atmosphere. Interactive experiences, such as photo booths and virtual reality stations, offered attendees unique ways to engage with the festival and create lasting memories.

Broccoli City Festival has always been about more than just music; it’s also about community and sustainability. This year was no different, with a strong emphasis on eco-friendly practices and community engagement. Recycling stations were strategically placed throughout the venue, and there were numerous initiatives aimed at reducing the festival’s carbon footprint. Additionally, the festival partnered with local organizations to promote health and wellness, providing resources and information to attendees.

As I reflect on the weekend, I can confidently say that the 2024 Broccoli City Festival was one of the best music festivals I’ve ever experienced. From the incredible performances to the seamless organization and beautiful weather, every aspect of the festival came together to create an unforgettable experience.

Ryan Reynolds’ 4-Year-Old Daughter Has a Special DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Screen Credit

https://nerdist.com/article/ryan-reynolds-4-year-old-daughter-hugh-jackman-wrangler/

Deadpool & Wolverine was a true Reynolds family affair. Three of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively’s children appeared on screen in the film in various cameo roles. They join both parents, with Blake Lively herself as none other than Lady Deadpool. But one of the Reynolds children had a special credit in the film, even if she did not appear on camera. According to Entertainment Weekly, the superstar couple’s 4-year-old daughter Betty gets a “Special Thanks” in the credits as “Hugh Jackman Wrangler: Betty Reynolds.” But what exactly is a Hugh Jackman Wrangler, and what does the job entail? We don’t know exactly, but Reynolds did drop some hints earlier this year in People Magazine.

I don’t profess that my kids are perfectly behaved. My 4-year-old Betty sort of loves Hugh, like, unconditionally, and she expresses that love through unblinking violence. So she attacks him, thinking she has claws and he has a healing factor — which he might.”

Deadpool puts his head on Wolverine's shoulder.

It’s somehow adorably perfect that Ryan Reynolds’ 4-year-old child shows her affection for Hugh Jackman in the same way her dad does—by attacking him mercilessly. Like father like daughter? We can only hope she calls him all kinds of names when she beats up Hugh. As for the other Reynolds kids, they all appeared on screen in some capacity. Two even joined their mother Blake as members of the Deadpool Corps.

7-year-old Inez Reynolds appears as the junior Deadpool variant Kidpool. (Whether or not someone else dubbed in her raunchy dialogue is currently unknown). Meanwhile, her 1-year-old brother, Olin, appears as the adorable little Babypool, who claps for Deadpool and Wolverine after the big third-act fight, the bloody bodies of his fellow Deadpools lying around him. Lastly, Ryan’s 9-year-old daughter James Reynolds has a credit on IMDb for her role as a “Screaming Mutant.” We’ll just have to freeze-frame the movie to find her when Deadpool & Wolverine finally hits streaming.

Robert Downey, Jr. Hid His Doctor Doom Casting News From the Avengers Group Chat

https://nerdist.com/article/robert-downey-jr-hid-doctor-doom-casting-from-avengers-friends/

One of the most important parts of being an actor in the MCU is to keep your mouth shut at all times. Revealing any critical information is enough to ruin your career. And the actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe don’t play about this at ALL, including Robert Downey, Jr. He kept his new role as Doctor Doom a secret from literally everyone, including his fellow Avengers actors. Jeremy Renner, who plays Hawkeye, said in a recent interview that Downey didn’t say a word about his casting as the MCU’s Doctor Doom to the Avengers group chat (sounds so epic).

“I had no idea. The son of a bitch didn’t say anything to me,” Renner said. “We’re good friends. There’s the Avengers family chat. The original six. He said not a peep. I got online and started blowing up his phone like, ‘What’s going on? You’ve been hiding this from us the whole time?’ It’s exciting news. I’m really, really excited about it.”

Honestly, it was in Robert’s best interest to keep his mouth shut, lest he wants to face Kevin Feige’s wrath. Renner also hinted that he would possibly return in the next two Avengers movies, Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. We will see what happens.
