The Americans rewatch continues and the icicles conversation from S2 is still an all-time Philip and Elizabeth moment for me. The intimacy! No one does eye intense, meaningful eye contact quite like Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell.

Turns out that the end credits music from Hamnet was something Max Richter had written for *the* scene. I get the urge to use On the Nature of Daylight, but the original score would've had more impact (and I love the movie) theankler.com/p/hes-the-re...

In addition to the joy of writing for Paste Books, getting to write for Lacy was a professional highlight. The fact that one more place for books/TV/film coverage is shuttering is both maddening and disheartening.
Today, Paste Magazine shuttered all its non-music verticals, a choice I am both professionally and personally heartbroken about. Sadly, I am once again looking for a place that wants to let me write about Books and TV on the regular, so hit me up if that’s you or anyone you know.

I've been hankering to rewatch The Americans from the start for a long time (especially seeing Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell in other shows). I bit that bullet last night, and that dynamic from the jump is firing on all cylinders.

THE BEAST IN ME, which came out yesterday on Netflix, is a mystery show about a New Yorker profile writer who gets IN TOO DEEP with one of her subjects, and it seems far fetched until you read a profile like this where it's like, did you guys do a murder together? Maybe dial that shit back.
