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 […]
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. Despite some asinine complaints about the show, it’s largely been well-received and mostly appears devoid of any ulterior messaging. It’s an homage to the storied video game franchise […]
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 […]
People have long expressed concerns over the disappearance of local news outlets, newspapers, and broadcasters, as they have been gobbled up by national media franchises. It’s a valid worry for a number of reasons, including the fact that many local stories wind up being lost because they are not deemed to be as “important” or […]
It’s not exactly unheard of to have parents disappointed in their child’s vocation. From being an OnlyFans “star” to whatever it is that Hunter Biden is doing these days, examples of jobs that bring shame to parents aren’t exactly hard to find. Even amid a sea of potential examples, however, this might be a new […]
Few shows have enjoyed the wild success of the Australian children’s cartoon “Bluey.” The series focuses on an anthropomorphic family of dogs and the eponymous Bluey, who is the eldest daughter of the family. Bluey’s family includes Bingo, her little sister, Chilli, her mom, and Bandit, her father, and the series generally focuses on at […]
The Writers Guild of America strike that crippled Hollywood for months last summer might have ended up being a Pyrrhic victory for those who wanted it most. After supposedly winning big against the big, bad studios back with an agreement in September, writers have been feeling a sharp contraction in the industry ever since. As […]
Al Roker, weather anchor on NBC’s Today and frequent host of events like the coverage the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, has been sued by a producer who claims he was wrongfully terminated after complaining that the television personality’s production company was bypassing DEI initiatives it was contractually obligated to implement. Bill Schultz, a former […]
It should be a truism by now that, no matter how many times and in how many ways studios have bent over backward to accommodate every raging liberal’s demand for “representation,” it will never be enough. Is it enough to transform the protagonist of a classic European fairytale into the minority of the moment? No, […]
