One of the silver linings with the unmitigatedly disastrous pandemic that we’re all forced to suffer through is that people are talking about movies in a very different way compared to how they were just a month or so ago. With no new releases flooding into theaters week after week, entertainment outlets have been forced to look at either older movies or recent movies that are beyond their usual purview (the latter of which is certainly how I saw Color Out of Space and White Snake in recent days). For example, Hollywood Historian Karina Longworth and podcaster Nate Dimeo have

Another quality month in the world of podcasts has come and gone. An industry titan made a reappearance in a surprising way. Daily shows continue to grow in quality and their ability to react to an ever-shrinking news cycle. The level and style of reporting has never been more boundary-pushing, making for a veritable bounty of returning shows and new favorites. We’ve gathered some of our favorites from the month (here are our picks from January and February and all of 2016 if you’re new to these) to help you keep up with the growing crop.
Awful Grace, “205 – bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronnton-nerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk! (regarding The Fall)”
Robert Andersson’s Chicago-produced audio essays are keen observations, largely by virtue of placing their subjects at the forefront. By getting out of the way, this episode gives a voice to a city, a neighborhood and a reporter. An evening ride-along with a journalist responding to news...

Community, Season 4, Episode 1: “History 101”
Written by Andy Bobrow
Directed by Tristram Shapeero
Airs Thursdays at 8pm Et on NBC
Early on in “History 101,” it becomes readily apparent that Community is no longer the show Dan Harmon oversaw for three years. If we’re going to appreciate this new version of Community, we’re going to have to appreciate it on its own terms. And while a single episode is almost certainly too small a sample size to make sweeping generalizations about the season to come, it appears to be a much simpler and traditional sitcom, one that perversely seems to justify many of the criticisms unfairly leveled at the first three seasons of the show—that Community is a show trading in empty pop-culture references devoid of any recognizable human emotion.
This is apparent in the Hunger Games parody (which, thankfully, is not as prominent a plotline as the...
