Film Review: “Boston Strangler” — Pioneers of Journalism and Feminism

Boston Strangler centers on women journalists who are devalued and must hold their own, demanding safety and justice in a society that doesn’t always deem them worthy of protection.

By: Peg Aloi Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Boston 1960s, Boston Strangler, Carrie Coon, Hulu, Keira Knightley, Matt Ruskin, Peg Aloi

Television Review: “History of the World, Part II” — D Grade “History”

Hulu’s History of the World, Part II — the damn thing isn’t funny.

By: Jason M. Rubin Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: History of the World, Hulu, Mel Brooks, Nick Kroll, Part II

Television Review: “Kindred” — More than a Mystery

In this adaptation for Hulu, Octavia E. Butler’s hybrid sci-fi novel has been reduced to a misguided time travel mystery.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Black Literature, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Hulu, Kindred, Octavia E. Butler, science-fiction

Television Review: “Rosaline” — Burlesquing the Bard’s “Star-Cross’d Lovers”

Every few years a smart teen rom-com comes along that deftly puts a modern, and pleasingly iconoclastic, spin on a classic piece of literature.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Henry Hunter Hall, Hulu, Kaitlyn Dever, Karen Maine, Kyle Allen, Romeo & Juliet, Rosaline, Spencer Stevenson, William-Shakespeare

Television Review: “Shoresy” — A Spin-off That Falls Short

The Canadian sports comedy Shoresy works as its own series, but it doesn’t match the sharp wit of its predecessor, Letterkenny.

Arts Review: “Bad Blood” and “The Dropout” — Valley Girl Set Aflame in the Bonfires of the Vanities

Playing on their strengths and working within the limitations of each medium, both The Dropout and Bad Blood pull us into the very American story of Theranos’ and Holmes’ rise and fall.

By: David Daniel Filed Under: Books, Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Amanda Seyfried, Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup, Elizabeth Holmes, Hulu, The Dropout, Theranos

Television Review: “Pam & Tommy” — That Icky Feeling

What is the most depressing thing about Pam & Tommy? The series provides the most sympathetic portrait of Pam Anderson that is out there.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Hulu, Lily James, Pam & Tommy, Sarah Osman, Sebastian Stan

Television Review: “The Curse of Von Dutch: A Brand to Die For” — Past Its Expiration Date

As it chronicles the rise and fall of the titular Von Dutch brand, the series tries to exploit nostalgia and true crime at the same time.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Review, Television Tagged: Hulu, Sarah Osman, The Curse of Von Dutch: A Brand to Die For

Film Review: “Summer of Soul” — A Classic Concert Resurrected

Summer of Soul is two hours of rapturous entertainment and pointed political commentary — neither of which has gone out of style 52 years later.

By: Jason M. Rubin Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Hulu, Jason M. Rubin, Summer of Soul

Film Review: “Plan B” — A Walk on the Wild and Diverse Side

Plan B, Hulu’s latest raunchy teen romp, proves why we need diverse voices in Hollywood.

By: Sarah Osman Filed Under: Featured, Film, Review Tagged: Hulu, Kuhoo Verma, Plan B, Victoria Moroles
