Monday I weighed in on the return of HBO’s “Succession,” the anti-”Ted Lasso” where everyone’s reprehensible and niceness gets you killed.
On Tuesday, paying subscribers got to argue their case for the best rock movie of all time. Lot of good discussion here and one clear winner.
In time for the baseball post-season, a meditation on the existential pain that once came with being a Red Sox fan, pegged to a little-known gem on the subiect.
For the weekend, I had some nice things to say about “Dune” (to my surprise) and less than nice things to say about the new Wes Anderson movie (ditto).
