TVING Co/Paramount+
This week, there was one final Beatles music (kind of), somebody, once more, made a very horrible determination a couple of Halloween costume and immediately regretted it, and the actors strike continued.
Here is what the NPR’s Pop Tradition Joyful Hour crew was taking note of — and what you need to try this weekend.
The Official Gilded Age Podcast from HBO
The Official Gilded Age Podcast accompanies the HBO TV present, which simply started its second season. I began listening to the podcast out of curiosity, and I in a short time received hooked. It’s hosted by TCM host Alicia Malone and Tom Meyers from the Bowery Boys NYC Historical past Podcast. They bring about a lot context to the present — there are all kinds of issues that one may miss when watching, however on this podcast, they dive deep into the main points. As an enormous historical past nerd and as a lover of The Gilded Age, I like this podcast. — Kristen Meinzer
TikTok meals critic Keith Lee
I’m completely invested within the TikTok movies of meals influencer Keith Lee. At this level Lee can change all the trajectory of a restaurant with a single overview. This week he is been in Atlanta and he is been met with a lot drama — it has town’s restaurant scene up in flames. Atlanta eating places have so many guidelines – he is pulling as much as these locations they usually’re like: Oh, it is a two-hour wait, or, Oh, your entire get together must be right here, or, Oh, you possibly can’t DoorDash, or do takeout orders, or name in on the telephone. Keith Lee’s factor is that he needs to be a traditional particular person — he does not need particular remedy. So he exhibits as much as all these locations together with his household and sees the place it goes from there — and he is been met with guidelines, and drama, and chaos. — Reanna Cruz
Cut price, on Paramount+
YouTube
I binged all six episodes of Cut price, which is a Korean drama sequence that is been in comparison with Squid Sport. It is capitalist satire meets catastrophe epic, and I feel the much less you realize about it, the higher. However I am going to simply say that the primary episode begins with a younger girl who’s auctioning off her virginity to a person in a lodge room. After which that episode ends with an earthquake and the lodge collapsing upon itself, leaving everybody within the constructing to struggle for survival. Every episode is shot to appear like it is all one take so it performs like a online game — however you are additionally consistently switching views of assorted characters. It is enjoyable, and peculiar, and darkish. — Aisha Harris
Madi Diaz’s new music “Identical Threat” from her upcoming album Bizarre Religion
YouTube
Bizarre Religion is an album popping out in February and I’m so, so, so enthusiastic about it – it is from Madi Diaz, a singer-songwriter I completely love. She’s been within the trade for about 15 years and simply a few years in the past she put out a document referred to as Historical past of a Feeling that snapped into focus the perfect of every thing she’s completed so far — she’s simply getting higher, and higher, and higher. Bizarre Religion is about being at the start of a brand new chapter. As Diaz describes it, “This album exists between the time you say ‘I Love You’ and the second they are saying it again… or do not.” — Stephen Thompson
Extra suggestions from the Pop Tradition Joyful Hour publication
by Linda Holmes
It is exhausting to consider HBO executives may spend their free time developing with faux Twitter accounts to assault critics whose opinions they did not agree with, however we discovered this week that that is precisely what they did.
I used to be so extremely unhappy to listen to in regards to the dying of Matthew Perry this week. He was such an enormously essential comedic presence for me, and I admired the work he did to attempt to share his experiences with dependancy to assist different folks. There was a lot of excellent writing about him and about Pals this week; you can begin right here and right here. And do not miss this interview.
I used to be fascinated by this story about “undead manufacturers,” which, amongst different issues, solutions the query, “What ever occurred to Juicy Couture?”
