When circumstances force her to hit the road, Charlie keeps getting in situations where somebody is dead and she’s the key to identifying the killer.

The initial reaction to Daft Punk’s hugely anticipated Random Access Memories was slightly shocked, as eager fans realized that, far from the set of summer-dance anthems promised by the first single “Get Lucky,” it’s actually an eccentric reimagining of retro sounds often deemed beyond good taste: yacht rock, Euro-disco, jazz fusion, Broadway-musical piano ballads.

So, if you find yourself inspired by Daft Punk to spend the summer gazing at the ocean in a pair of pressed white linen pants and Wayfarers while sipping a piña colada and listening to spaced-out soft disco and Christopher Cross, here are 30 albums that probably helped inspire Random Access Memories.

As we all mourn the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we strongly encourage you to watch the wonderful, Oscar-nominated 2018 documentary RBG, which is available to subscribers of Hulu and to rent on such platforms as Amazon and Apple TV+. Below is our review of the film, which was originally published on May 7, 2018. Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the tiny, monkish, soft-spoken, octogenarian Supreme Court justice who bestrides the world like a colossus; in their documentary RBG, directors Julie Cohen and Betsy West stride right behind her with a camera and a microphone.

Best way to get revenge on the person who stole your Steve Jobs part? Well, as James Corden finds out above, making your rival (a.k.a. Seth Rogen) play “various scenery and stuff” in a Lion King crosswalk musical isn’t quite it. In fact, that’s actually a great way to let him steal the show in “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.” Back to the drawing board.

Sacha Baron Cohen Those Sacha Baron Cohen allegations will be missing from the U.K. edition of Rebel Wilson’s candid memoir, Rebel Rising.

Nate Parker. A week before the release of Nate Parker’s The Birth of a Nation, Sharon Loeffler, the sister of the woman who accused Parker and his Birth of a Nation co-writer Jean Celestin of rape in 1999, has penned an open letter for Variety criticizing the film. Loeffler says she was inspired to speak out after learning that the movie includes a scene where Nat Turner’s wife is raped by a group of white men, an event that does not occur in the slim historical record of Turner’s life.

SNL works best when it hits a balance between structure and chaos. As a show that’s broadcasted live after only a week of production time, chaos is pre-installed into the system. The show attempts to offset that chaos with as many safety nets as possible: a cast of multitalented actors, a writing staff that can turn out an abundance of material in a pressure-cooker environment, and one of the best crews in television.
