In news that doesn’t make sense the more you think about it, Arkansas concert venue TempleLive announced that country-rock singer Travis McCready, of the band Bishop Gunn, will perform an “intimate acoustic set” on May 15, but with social-distancing measures in place. This would make the event the first concert performed to a live audience in the U.S. since the spread of COVID-19. The news comes after Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson announced that Arkansas theaters and lecture halls will reopen on May 18, but only for audiences of 50 people maximum at a time.

Armie Hammer looking peachy. Spoilers below for Call Me by Your Name.
There’s a scene from Luca Guadagnino’s adaptation of Call Me by Your Name, involving Armie Hammer and a piece of stone fruit, that has already become one of the seminal moments of the film. Here’s a brief contour: Hammer, who plays grad student Oliver, is in the throes of passion with his younger lover Elio (Timothée Chalamet). One lazy summer day, Elio takes a couple of peaches from the family orchard up to his room, where he eats one and throws away the pit.

Arturo Castro. It’s been over ten years since Arturo Castro moved to the United States to pursue acting, and the idea of him finding regular performance work as a native Guatemalan — let alone having his own show based around him one day — often seemed impossible based on how few Latino people were on television. “It was really hard to get TV auditions because there aren’t a lot of roles for people that look like me,” he says.

Australian prison drama Wentworth seems like a natural companion to Orange Is the New Black: Both are set in women’s prisons, include charismatic brunette lesbians who find ways to make others do their bidding, and feature a variety of actresses turning in wonderful, deeply unglamorous performances. But Wentworth isn’t a vaguely inspiring dramedy; it’s a ruthlessly dark drama, more like Breaking Bad with ten Gus Frings, or Deadwood but with competing Swearingens.
