In Praise of Jason Clarke, Hollywoods Go-to Cuckold

All I See Is You, The Aftermath, and Mudbound. Every decade gets the Ralph Bellamy it deserves. In the ’90s, snarky Greg Kinnear habitually lost the girl to Hanksian nice guys. In the aughts, clean-cut James Marsden found himself overshadowed by sensitive brooders like Ryan Gosling and Wolverine. Recently, a new face of romantic failure has emerged: Australian actor Jason Clarke, who’s managed to carve out a healthy sideline playing some of the most disappointing husbands in contemporary cinema.

In the Darks Madeleine Baran on the Curtis Flowers Investigation

In the Dark, the investigative podcast by APM Reports, published the final episode of its excellent second season on Tuesday. In its sophomore effort, Peabody-winning reporter Madeleine Baran and her team examined the troubling case of Curtis Flowers, a black man accused of murdering four people in Mississippi two decades ago, who has since been tried an astonishing six times — and, more astonishingly, all six times by the same white prosecutor, District Attorney Doug Evans.

In Weirdo Night, the Avant-Garde Fights Dirty

Jibz Cameron as Dynasty Handbag in Weirdo Night. Sometime during the shutdown, everything turned experimental. Given the necessities of online production, even the most mainstream projects are now out there in the aesthetic vanguard: Theater benefits push the digital form; fan-written TikToksicals explode assumptions about authorship; glossy cooking shows reassess notions of nearness. The markers of avant-gardism are now ubiquitous. But there is still a bright line between what looks experimental and what is genuinely radical.

Inside Hardcore Game of Thrones, the Podcast That Treats Westeros as a Real Place

Game of Thrones is everywhere. Between the books, show, after-shows, and podcasts – not to mention YouTube explainers, online fan discussion, cosplay conventions, apps to learn Dothraki – it can almost feel like Westeros has been willed into existence. If you were to take the Howl podcast Hardcore Game of Thrones’ word for it – and had extremely flexible views of history and geography – you might believe Westeros is real. Parodying the voice and structure of Dan Carlin’s popular Hardcore History podcast, which offers dramatically-presented, multi-hour dives into ancient cultures and significant historical conflicts, Hardcore Game of Thrones treats the world and events of A Song of Ice and Fire as fact, with series author George R.

The past few years have seen sensational releases from youth-oriented creators like Raina Telgemeier (Ghosts), Hope Larson (Compass South), and Hicks, a Vancouver-based writer-artist with an animation background and a crackerjack eye for action and emotion.

Intervention Is Ending

Candy Finnigan, one of the show’s interventionists. Aw, man, Intervention is ending. A&E announced today that the five episodes that will air starting in June will be the show’s last. According to the network, of the 243 people who’ve had interventions on the show, 156 are currently sober — a pretty impressive record, thanks in part to the show’s strategy of matching addicts with specific rehab facilities. All shows end eventually, and Intervention had a hell of a run: What could have been an exploitative mess was instead a riveting, intimate drama that helped shape the contemporary understandings of addiction crises and recovery.
