 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  1 minutes  |  198 words  |  Sherie Connelly

Breaking: Beloved Christmas movie appears to think that a problem it needs to solve with its sequel was not having enough Christmas. That’s right, A Christmas Story will be getting a sequel, and that sequel will be called A Christmas Story Christmas. Have we learned nothing from DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story? The upcoming Double Christmas film just released its first full trailer, which has a lot of pratfalls and references to the previous film that everybody likes, so you have to like this one, right?

HBO Max is stacking up its online-only content roster. One of their biggest announcements so far has been about the release of a Dune: The Sisterhood series that will center around the women of the Bene Gesserit. The network has committed to more female-fronted content with the announcement of another high-profile adaptation in the works. Rise of the Planet of the Apes writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver will pen the script for a straight-to-series adaptation of the book Circe. [Read More]

A Family Feud Contestant Has Never Been So Wrong and Yet So Right

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  3 minutes  |  454 words  |  Aldo Pusey

Yes, there is a Canadian version of Family Feud and yes, it is hosted by Canadian comedian Gerry Dee, who previously had a sitcom called Mr. D where he played a schoolteacher named Gerry D. This is the state of Canadian television. There’s a reason why I (a Canadian) was surprised that Schitt’s Creek was good. But what Family Feud Canada lacks in Steve Harvey, it more than makes up for in pure entertainment value. [Read More]

A Rare Conversation With Pulitzer PrizeWinning Writer Herman Wouk

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  10 minutes  |  1971 words  |  Elina Uphoff

Herman Wouk has never been one for half-measures. His two-volume World War II saga, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, ran to nearly 2,000 pages and was adapted into a corresponding pair of TV miniseries. His third novel, The Caine Mutiny, won a Pulitzer, spawned a Broadway play, and gave Humphrey Bogart a defining role of his career. Wouk’s meaty, breezy fiction (on the Navy, the Holocaust, Israel, Nixon, a starry-eyed Jewish girl who called herself Marjorie Morningstar) earned him millions of readers but precious few glowing reviews.

A Timeline of 24 Years of Dirty Dancing Pop-Culture References

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  3 minutes  |  565 words  |  Janel Helmers

Halfway through the romantic comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, cocktail bar Lothario Jacob (Ryan Gosling) reveals his secret no-fail seduction move. We won’t give it away except to say that (1) it hinges entirely on the 1987 film Dirty Dancing, and (2) if you’re a lady, it would work on you. Nearly 25 years after its release, Dirty Dancing is experiencing a pop-culture revival — and yet, unlike most campy eighties rom-coms, it never really went away. [Read More]

Album Review: Producer PartyNextDoor Takes a Tentative Step Into the Spotlight on P3

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  4 minutes  |  803 words  |  Sherie Connelly

Since partnering with Drake’s OVO Sound imprint three years ago, Ontario singer, writer, and producer PartyNextDoor has zeroed in on a singular brand of lusty, late-night R&B that has earned him choice placements on Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and Views. Party should be a household name after these appearances, a pair of workmanlike self-titled solo albums, and a writing credit on Rihanna and Drake’s smash “Work,” but renown in pop circles eludes him.

Album Review: The Suicide Squad Soundtrack Is Almost As Good As the Movie

 Posted on June 13, 2024  |  3 minutes  |  517 words  |  Aldo Pusey

The Suicide Squad soundtrack is a neon nightmare. I wasn’t planning on listening to it at all after the Big Gulp brainfreeze of Rick Ross and Skrillex’s trap/EDM tête-à-tête “Purple Lamborghini” (Hot take: Question your biology if the histrionics don’t make your head hurt), although I’ll admit to a rush of interest after a friend’s endorsement of the Grimes cut “Medieval Warfare” as “white feminist nu metal.” I arrived at the album by accident, letting YouTube autoplay a list of recent singles from the confessional R&B newcomer Kehlani that ended in her bruised-fruit love song “Gangsta,” one of the soundtrack’s highlights.
