Out of this long and tangled relationship has stemmed the greatest collab in Youtube history, “Frenemies”. Sitting apart on their split black and pink set, every week Trisha and Ethan delve into their pasts, engage in trivia, athletic competitions, mukbangs, and drama dumps. There isn’t a lot of game changing content on the show, but the interplay between the two, and their uncontested chemistry, make it a much watch every week.
For context, this was one of the greatest directors' most acclaimed and pivotal work, his second most beloved after “Annie Hall.” I had no broader context, no necessary dialogue explaining that this was a work of its time, or that it was not okay. It was presented as a heady, lovelorn version of a city beloved by its narrator. From a very early stage I was conditioned to believe this was normal.
Even the film lovers that invest time into watching Marvel movies have to wake up to the fact that their films of choice are stifling the competition. You should not have to be an obsessive compulsive nerd completionist to find films you actually want to see. That’s what Scorsese is trying to say, it’s what we all agree should be the reality, and hopefully there will be a shift in the future to denote that wish.
As a consequence of their honesty they often delve into topics not often covered in the true crime genre, including mental health, interpersonal relationships, addiction, and feminism.

Mental illness has become a hot topic of recent conversation in part because of ongoing debates over universal health care and gun control. A major call to action from the left has been to treat mental illness, and to point out that many people with mental illnesses are not violent. Someone should really tell that to Hollywood
Whodunits are stories about a murder in which the identity of the murderer is not revealed until the end. Modern day mystery fiction is marred by intense character development for the main sleuth at the expense of the mystery, but Christie only cared about the who, what, where, and how.
New properties are also very expensive, and are more likely to fail than something with a built-in fan base. This also means that without that fan base, a show that was once cancelled will not be revived. (No one is clamoring for a Diagnosis Murder or Grace Under Fire reunion.)
After the election results came in optimists pointed to one fact that they thought would soothe liberal psyches: “At least comedy shows are going to be so hilarious. They must be glad for all this new material.” No they’re not. Shut up. You are the worst.
In the past five years the network has become unequivocally vicious. Conspiracy theories about the Clintons, endless reports about the birther movement, and Islamophobic rhetoric have been the network’s bread and butter.
It’s probably not right to group these two esteemed actors together just because they have been married for twenty years, but in all sincerity I think all of America can agree we are blessedly obsessed with them both.

Even just ten years ago it would have been unheard of to adapt critically lauded, adult minded literature for television because of its ultraviolence and sexual content.
It’s not just her purity and grace that audiences love, but her versatility. Kerr was typecast because of her proper English accent, but she fought against this with roles in “King Solomon’s Mines,” “The Prisoner of Zendaya,” and “Quo Vadis?”
Why do networks make these mistakes? Well, it’s a mix of different aims, the first being to tap into the vortex of pop culture at the moment. “Selfie” is a ubiquitous term that has its ruminations in internet culture, which is a market that begs to be tapped.

Luckily there are two superb voices still left in modern filmmaking, who make movie musicals with a streak of humble nobility: John Carney and Damien Chazelle. Though you may not know their names, you undoubtedly have seen or heard of their beautifully poignant movies.
