Nice! Noah Schnapp, the actor best known for playing Will Byers on Stranger Things, has seriously (unseriously) come out of the closet. Schnapp posted a TikTok on January 5 lip-syncing the audio “You know what it never was? That serious” with text reading “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was ‘we know. [Read More]

Not Great, Bob!: The Making of Mad Mens Greatest Meme

 Posted on June 11, 2024  |  8 minutes  |  1639 words  |  Zora Stowers

Pete Campbell’s terse response to Bob Benson wasn’t written as a joke, but it became one almost instantly. Mad Men was a show about people who make a living by selling succinct, memorable catchphrases in the name of capitalism, so it tracks that the AMC prestige drama generated its fair share of memorable quotes and memes, from Don Draper’s “That’s what the money is for” to Peggy Olson’s “deal with it” hallway strut.

Not Without Ambition, But Macbeth (an undoing)

 Posted on June 11, 2024  |  10 minutes  |  1951 words  |  Aldo Pusey

I’m a Merriam-Webster-certified fan of the early-aughts Canadian TV series Slings and Arrows, a loving and lacerating theater satire about the artists and administrators at a big Ontario Shakespeare company. Each season chronicles and draws its themes from the production of a certain play, and as much as I adore the series, certain aspects of season two, about Macbeth, frustrate me to no end. Here’s Ellen, the company diva, talking to Geoffrey — currently her artistic director, director, and boyfriend — about Lady Mac: [Read More]

Florian Bohm’s Broadway/34th Street (2005) Roberto Saviano, the Italian author of Gomorrah, a hit book exposing the behind-the-scenes machinations of the Camorra (the mob), has been under 24-hour police watch for the past two years.

Of Course Jai Pauls Coachella Set Was Mysterious

 Posted on June 11, 2024  |  4 minutes  |  805 words  |  Zora Stowers

“So what’s the deal with Jai Paul?” my partner sheepishly asked me the night before we left for Coachella. Which, honestly, great question. Paul’s name is typically uttered with the kind of reverence reserved for critical darlings with deep catalogs. I tried to articulate it by going through the history — getting signed to XL off the strength of one song, the ineffable mystique that followed, the Beyoncé and Drake cosigns, the career-derailing music leak.
