‘Ghostbusters’ is a silly little comedy that became a cultural lightning rod
Remember when The Interview came out and everyone decided that seeing a silly little comedy was some kind of patriotic act of defiance to North Korea? The all-female Ghostbusters reboot is a lot like that—a silly little comedy that somehow ignited a culture war on the internet and became way more significant than it probably…

‘Mr. Robot’ has really grown on me
Mr. Robot is one of those shows that everybody’s talking about.

Prince 1958-2016
Like with Michael Jackson and David Bowie, I couldn’t even conceive of a world where the was no Prince. He’s engrained in the cultural backbone of generations, and people like that never truly die.

‘Inside Amy Schumer’ is back and sharper than ever in season 4
You’d be remiss to write off Inside Amy Schumer as “chick comedy” and discount how smart is it. While there are jokes about periods, bikini waxes, and other more female-slanting topics, this is one of the sharpest shows on Comedy Central—and this is a network that is home to my favorite show of all time, South Park.
