Julie Andrews, Audrey Hepburn, and MY FAIR LADY

It was an adaptation of George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, featuring a book, lyrics, and music by the legendary duo Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe.

A Night to Remember
I must admit that after last week’s episode of Ted Lasso, I was nervous about where this third and final season might just end up. That episode was an uncharacteristically rushed and illogically characterized hour of television that indulged some of the show’s lesser angels. Color me relieved and delighted by this week’s “Sunflowers” which does far more than set Ted Lasso back on solid ground.

Michael Myers' Enduring Appeal
FacebookTweetPinLinkedInEmail The tagline for Halloween Kills (2021) may have been “evil dies tonight,” but when it comes to Michael Myers that is never quite the case. Since he first slow-walked on screen in Halloween (1978), Myers has persevered. Shoot him six times so he falls off a balcony? No sweat. Trap him in multiple major fires? Only a hiccup on the way to more bloodshed. Of course, Myers’ endurance extends beyond plot.

What's in a Nose? A Pop Culture Investigation
FacebookTweetPinLinkedInEmail In one of many soliloquies, this time from Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare poses the question “What’s in a name?” Spoken by Juliet, the line reads, “That by which we call a rose / By any other name would smell just a sweet.” The passage calls the audience to consider the arbitrary nature of assigning names. You can call a rose a seal, but it will still smell like a floral dream. Of course, Shakespeare never actually wrote those lines. The original is quite close.

Strange New Worlds' is Exactly What Franchise TV Should Be
When Spock and James Kirk first went where no one had gone before in 1966, it’s hard to imagine anyone expected Star Trek (1966-1969) to birth a global franchise. In the subsequent 56 years, Star Trek has released TV shows, movies, conventions, and all manner of tie-in materials. Look around now, and that puts Star Trek in the same breath as Star Wars, Marvel, and DC in terms of sweeping franchise diversification to keep up with our intellectual property (IP) obsessed pop culture.
