If you’re not an avid anime watcher, you would most likely be dissatisfied with a 20–minute episode for a drama series. However, when taking into account that mainstream anime is almost entirely hand–drawn and consists of approximately 3000 frames/drawings per 20–minute episode, with each drawing taking more than an hour to create, one’s perspective may shift ever so slightly. The anime production process is intricate and those familiar with the art form have learned to judge animation quality and recognize the “trade–off between detailed, consistent designs and more fluid animation.”

Every fall, the TV awards season comes to a close with its biggest night: the Primetime Emmy Awards. Despite CBS airing this year’s Emmys, the network won nothing. In fact, the Big Four broadcast networks (CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox), collectively only won one award: best variety sketch series for NBC’s Saturday Night Live. A decade ago, not a single streaming service was represented at the Emmys. Yet in 2021, the top awards were only awarded to Netflix, HBO (HBO Max), Apple TV+, and Disney+. One can only imagine what network executives, particularly CBS, were thinking during this telecast, in which they lost to every streaming service. In essence, CBS was airing its own funeral.

Hollywood has long perfected its fulfillment of “so nice they made it twice” movie culture with years upon years of unnecessary reboots. Whether it's a new imagining of an iconic teen show like Gossip Girl or an old–time classic like Psycho, if you’ve heard of it, there’s probably more than one version.

It comes as no surprise that the entertainment industry was one of the hardest–hit industries throughout the COVID–19 pandemic. Worldwide shutdowns and theater closures forced filmmakers and studios to delay countless releases. While many utilized streaming services in their release models amidst the pandemic, others held out on releasing films until theatrical releases could be reintroduced to the general public.

At the peak of my pandemic boredom, I decided to re–watch Criminal Minds. I had first started streaming the iconic show, which follows members of the esteemed Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI, in middle school. And while I was far too young to be following the adventures of Aaron Hotchner, Spencer Reid, Derek Morgan, and co. as they apprehended some of the most notorious criminals in their fictional universe, I couldn’t help but remain invested in the high–paced episodes. After a 15–season long run on CBS, a reboot of Criminal Minds is now set to air on Paramount+.

The premise of award shows is simple: reward those in the entertainment industry who create exemplary work. Yet the world of award shows is often much more complicated than that. Add in label companies or powerful industry titans, and award shows soon turn into popularity contests, appreciating those who have the most connections. Soon enough, award shows become a time for moguls to celebrate each other and only each other. For years, this phenomenon has been accepted, but now, the world seems to be tired of fawning over the same divas.

Villains are en vogue in popular media. Suicide Squad has had not one, not two, but three movies dedicated to its team of misfits, and 2019’s Joker painted a scathing portrait of Batman’s iconic nemesis. Miss Cruella de Vil of One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), based on the 1956 novel by Dodie Smith, is the latest villain to receive the live–action remake treatment. Directed by Craig Gillespie and starring Emma Stone in the title role, the film Cruella presents viewers with a nearly two–and–a–half–hour backstory of de Vil’s path to treachery.

Saturday Night Live is known for an inconsistent standard of quality—across seasons, across decades, and even from episode to episode. Part of this is baked into its conception; executive producer Lorne Michaels was quoted in Tina Fey’s autobiography, Bossypants, as saying “the show doesn’t go on because it’s ready; it goes on because it’s 11:30.” SNL’s 46th season was no stranger to errors in judgment, only some of which can be chalked up to the stranger–than–fiction circumstances of its airtime.

You know you're at a Jewish family gathering when overbearing relatives ask you about your weight, your grades, and your love life as if they’re asking about the weather. Bubbies bicker with zaydes, nosy aunts gossip in the corner, and you often find yourself wondering, “Wait ... how am I related to that guy again?” Oh, right. He’s your uncle’s wife’s mother’s cousin’s son.

Philadelphia is a city rich in history. Cobblestone streets are reminiscent of the horse and buggy carriages that once were the main form of transportation. Nowadays, paying for a horse and buggy ride is a novelty most often exploited by tourists and romantic comedy enthusiasts. However, you may be surprised to hear that there’s still a community of horseback riders on the streets of Philly.

Homosexuality is not a sin, but with the spread of disinformation and discrimination, a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS in the 1980s was almost certainly deadly. It’s a Sin tells the gut–wrenching tale of a group of young gay men who are living together as they navigate the throes of early adulthood when met with news of a foreign “gay plague” from America. Set in the early 1980s in London, the show examines the impacts of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in a setting not commonly covered by film and media, with depiction of the virus often being focused on places like New York and San Francisco.
