The Morning Show Is Silly, Melodramatic, and Undeniably Captivating

 Posted on June 10, 2024  |  6 minutes  |  1131 words  |  Zora Stowers

The idea of communicating what it feels like to watch the second season of the Apple TV+ series The Morning Show is absurd on its face. Sure, a rote summary is technically accurate: It’s a show about the production of a major network’s morning news series, starring two anchors played by Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston, and focusing largely on what happens after former anchor Mitch Kessler (Steve Carrell) is forced out in a Matt Lauer–esque cloud of disgrace.

 Posted on June 10, 2024  |  1 minutes  |  145 words  |  Aldo Pusey

View this post on Instagram A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) Isolation, longing, confusion, despair. Sounds like another excellent Drake album to us! Also, a very unnerving sci-fi film. If you listened to the moody new trailer for Drake’s upcoming album Scorpion, you undoubtedly noticed that it sounds a lot like the low, unnerving theme from Annihilation. According to Pitchfork, the song used in the trailer is Moderat’s “The Mark (Interlude),” which, you guessed it, was used by musicians Geoff Barrow and Ben Salisbury for the “The Alien” theme on the film’s soundtrack.
