Gina Rodriguez in Jane the Virgin. You’ll know the most incredible scene in Jane the Virgin’s fifth season premiere when you see it. After four years of mourning her dead husband Michael (Brett Dier), Jane (Gina Rodriguez) has discovered that he’s actually still alive, but suffering from amnesia. Before Michael’s sudden reappearance, Jane was on the verge of getting engaged to her boyfriend Rafael (Justin Baldoni), she’d just figured out what she wanted her life to look like, and she’d had a breakthrough about how to structure her new novel.

Good Time star Robert Pattinson. The Safdie brothers’ crime thriller Good Time is a throttling dose of a movie, equal parts funny, dazzling, and anxiety-inducing. A lot of that can be chalked up to the score by electronic composer Oneohtrix Point Never, a.k.a. Daniel Lopatin, who blankets the film in propulsive synths, icy percussion, and wailing, guitar-like howls that rarely let you off Connie’s (Robert Pattinson) wild ride into the darker corners of Queens by night.

How Everything Works Brought to you by How Everything Works Brought to you by The most incredible 2008 simulacrum happens about halfway through the movie. Spoilers for Hustlers below. Hustlers, based on the true story of a group of strippers who shook down hundreds of Wall Street bros for access to their bank accounts, is a lot of things all at once: It’s a dark, late-capitalist fable; an examination of gender politics and self-worth in the early aughts; a pitch-black comedy; a study in moral relativism and latent misogyny; a paean to misunderstood sex workers; a long-overdue Jennifer Lopez showcase.

Kidding, of course — but his return makes us nostalgic for the incredibly strong early seasons of the series, and with him he seems to have brought back the formula that made those episodes so potent, even if the writers hit the brunch call-back a little hard.

The background radiation is still there, two decades later, from the infamous 1993 Whitney Biennial — the so-called multi-cultural, identity-politics, political, or just bad biennial. Establishment art history circa 1993 was a broken model, built on white men and Western civilization and certain ossified ideas about “greatness” and “genius.” New artists looking for new ways to speak to new audiences couldn’t get their voices heard or work seen. There had been artists fighting this fight before, but that 1993 show was the major crack in the façade.

“We wanted to be really daring in all of our influences and how we could consistently shatter the form,” said WandaVision showrunner Jac Schaeffer following the finale, “but it did require a measure of discipline in order for it not to fly off into outer space.” WandaVision, the Disney+ series that reestablished the lure of the Marvel franchise after the pandemic put it on pause, was always conceived as a hybrid.

When you think of Princess Diana, it’s easy to imagine her in one of her hundreds of distinctive outfits: her wedding dress, her “revenge dress,” the carefully chosen outfits she wore on her official duties, and the clothes she wore while paparazzied in her time off. She was a fashion icon, so thoroughly photographed you can put any day of the year into Google and find her dressed in something specific.

Some of the most interesting costuming work on TV right now is happening on BBC America’s Killing Eve. Clothing is an explicit part of the off-kilter, intimate relationship between Sandra Oh’s spy character Eve, and Villanelle, the serial killer she’s trying to capture (played by Jodie Comer). The show’s costume designer, Phoebe de Gaye, spoke with Vulture about the unusual opportunities of costuming someone like Killing Eve’s psychopathic Villanelle and the impossibility of making Sandra Oh look anything less than elegant.

Laurie Simmons’s Cafe of the Inner Mind: Men’s Room, from 1994. This week, the artist Laurie Simmons finds herself in the unusual position of having two prominent galleries showing her work at the same time. At the Mary Boone Gallery in Chelsea is “Cafe of the Inner Mind,” a body of work she created in the 1990s that is centered around images of a group of six ventriloquist’s dummies. Across town, at Salon 94’s Bowery outpost, is “The Mess 2017,” a collection of portraits of live people (including Simmons’s daughters, Lena and Grace Dunham), accompanied by a rainbow-colored collection of plastic stuff.
