Allow Anne Beatts to Set the Record Straight About Square Pegs

Young Sarah Jessica Parker and Amy Linker in Square Pegs. There was nothing like Square Pegs on television until Square Pegs arrived on television. Honestly, it felt like there was nothing in the world quite like Square Pegs, a sitcom about teenage girls trying to “click with the right clique,” until it showed up on CBS in September 1982. In the late 1970s and ’80s, other TV series did feature young girls as protagonists or significant side characters. [Read More]

Andrew Garfield on Silence and This Sick Man Donald Trump

The last time Vulture spoke to Andrew Garfield, we caught him in the middle of an existential moment. Promoting his 2015 foreclosure drama 99 Homes just as the presidential election was about to get underway, Garfield quite candidly wrestled with the notion that anything he could say as an actor would really, truly matter. A little more than a year later, so much has changed. With Donald Trump about to assume the presidency and his native England splitting off from the European Union, the ground underneath Garfield’s feet has shifted and so, too, have his own self-doubts about speaking out.

Back in 2010, way before the Tony Awards, lightbulb walls, and massive chorus-dudes, Hadestown sprung to life as a concept album: a “folk opera” conceived by Anaïs Mitchell, released through Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe label. Mitchell sang the part of Eurydice opposite Justin Vernon’s Orpheus, and she tapped DiFranco for Persephone, Hades’s vernal goddess wife. The album’s journey to Broadway in the years that followed is the stuff of musical-theater myth (pun intended), but that first recording’s indie-folk DNA still courses through the stage version.

Any Guesses for What Christopher Nolans New Event Film Will Be?

Christopher Nolan. Put on your preferred sleuthing hat, cinephiles, because we have a new mystery on our hands we’re going to dub A Scandal in Nolanmia for the foreseeable future. That’s because, per THR, Christopher Nolan’s new film will be released on July 17, 2020, and we know absolutely nothing about what to expect despite the year-and-a-half lead time. The one clue we do have, though, comes from a helpful noun, as Nolan’s project is being described as an “event” film that has already corralled some very famous faces. [Read More]

Ariana Grande Is Hyping Up Her Next Album, Thank U, Next

Ariana Grande. Sweetener, just like her engagement to Pete Davidson, is so last month, folks. Because in a Saturday morning Twitter-palooza, Ariana Grande confirmed the name of her next album will be none other than Thank U, Next, a phrase that had previous life as one of her recent social media disses against Davidson. “No drags, no shade, just love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty, forgiveness … and growth,” she tweeted among other musings, teasing a few things about what to expect with her fifth album: 1) Thank U, Next will be the album’s title and leading track 2) A single will be coming out “soon” and 3) Grande’s jumping “straight in” to the album’s creation.
