Shining Girls Finds a Method in Elisabeth Moss' Madness

I’ve never lost my mind, at least as far as I know. But if my grasp on reality ever started to slip, I imagine it would feel much like the experience of watching Apple’s cerebral sci-fi crime drama Shining Girls. When we meet our protagonist Kirby Mazrachi (Elisabeth Moss), she’s a timid Chicago Sun-Times archivist who shares an apartment with her punk-rocker mom (Amy Brenneman) and a cat. Then, without warning, reality shifts.

SNL's Shane Gillis Flip-Flop Comes as No Surprise

Saturday Night Live is a fickle platform. Many successful comedians, from Damon Wayans to Jenny Slate, famously bungled their stints at 30 Rock and got fired in their debut seasons, before launching careers outside the Lorne Michaelsverse. Then there’s Shane Gillis, who didn’t even get to take the stage at Studio 8H after the show introduced him as a new cast member on Sept. 12, 2019. Four days later, following the revelation that he had used Asian and gay slurs on his podcast, SNL announced it had rescinded his job offer, calling his remarks “offensive, hurtful and unacceptable.

The Bikeriders Saps the Vitality From Its Biker Gang Story

A movie that brings great still photographs to life should itself be a thing of greatness, a way of connecting us not just with a photographer’s art but with his subjects. The direct inspiration for Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders is the 1968 book of the same name by New Journalism photographer Danny Lyon, who spent three years chronicling the lives of the members of a Chicago motorcycle club. Lyon’s pictures—of skinny, mischievous-looking tattooed guys in leather vests, of women whose hair seems perpetually windblown, even if they’re not riding—are raw and immediate, but there’s a lilting tenderness in them too.

These Cities Have Already Reached Peak Millennial

Millennials flocked to U.S. cities over the past decade, but in some places, the migration appears to be reversing. After years of growth, the population of millennials in Boston and Los Angeles has fallen since 2015, with more young people leaving the cities than arriving last year, according to the latest Census data.

Will and Grace's Reunion Shows Why the Show Faded Away

In an era of reunions—The X-Files, Fuller House, Gilmore Girls—the Will & Grace cast convening to film a note-perfect recreation of their show shouldn’t come as a surprise. But it still does. For one thing, the series ended in 2006 with the bizarre, downbeat revelation that Will and Grace fell out of touch and did not reconnect until late in their lives, deeper into the future than 2016, so this vignette exists outside the show’s flexible reality.
