Here’s a peculiar temporal quirk about long-running cartoon “The Simpsons”: Time seems to endlessly loop, but characters stay dead (spin-off episodes notwithstanding). Lisa Simpson, the elder daughter of the family, has been a second grader for the entire 35-season run of the show, which would imply that “The Simpsons” is a cartoon that generally reverts […]
It’s no secret that Hollywood is in rough shape. Just look at the bloodbath that was the 2023 box office, and that becomes painfully clear for anyone who can do basic math. But even the mathematically challenged can understand this: People are demonstrably preferring older media to modern offerings. Despite all that, there was some […]
About 40 or 50 years ago, cross-dressing, tattoos, protesting and occupying the radical left wing were enough to establish your punk credentials. But something changed in the intervening decades. What once put these punk groups in direct opposition to the mainstream has now become deeply entrenched in the mainstream. What, then, have these aging punks […]

Hey, if you’re reading this and you can afford a month of Amazon Prime Video, it cannot be stressed enough: You should really give “Fallout” a try.

On April 23, the 2024 limited series “Shōgun” — an adaptation of the 1975 James Clavell novel of the same name — aired its finale, “A Dream of a Dream.” It was, without question, one of the best finales to one of the best dramas in recent television history. Those superlatives have been well-earned over […]
Disney is in trouble again. In a brazen attempt at pandering to the woke mob, Disney went viral in 2023 for having male cast members in dresses prattling around children’s attractions. Less than a year later, Disney finds itself in a similar controversy, and it might even be worse. While any actor or actress could […]
