My guide to "Predator: Badlands" and what preceded it. I feel Dan Trachtenberg is doing what Russell T Davies did with "Doctor Who" or Jon "The Mandalorian" Favreau did with the "Star Wars" universe. It's good when someone who gets a franchise gets behind the wheel. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/m...

Today Jordan Litz ran the NYC marathon then he played Fiyero at the matinee and evening performances of "Wicked" on Broadway. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that my first reaction was "Wicked has two shows on Sunday???"

Re-posting because I wanted to mention a cool tidbit that ended up being cut for space: Felix Barrett is staging an immersive adaptation of the Netflix series "Arcane" in China, focusing on Jinx and Vi. (Note to self: how much does it cost to fly there in December?)

The Diplomat is very much my thing. You watch an episode and you really want to know what is going to happen in the next one; therefore, you keep watching. This is an interesting approach and I believe more television shows should try it.

College radio stations are seeing a surge in student interest.
Stations that once struggled to fill airtime are now overflowing with student DJs.
I spoke to 7 college radio stations across the U.S. to understand what is driving the revival:
