Speak, Valentina! Netflix’s DAHMER — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, a show about a white serial killer who targeted Black and brown men, reportedly no longer has an LGBTQ tag to its name. Why did it ever? Well, the Ryan Murphy show, which stars Murphy-verse go-to Evan Peters, follows Jeffrey Dahmer’s gruesome crimes while also not exploiting his victims (so says Netflix), who were primarily gay men. It’s unclear how anyone’s immediate thought was “This seems like a good idea to put next to Heartstopper,” but maybe Netflix just doesn’t understand what its viewers want; for example, Derry Girls, which has an out lesbian character, is not tagged as LGBTQ.

If there is one aspect about your 20s that Girls keenly understands, it’s that sex in your 20s is embarrassing. It’s awkward, it’s messy, and sometimes you just want your partner to put it in the right hole. From the pilot episode, in which Hannah and Adam first have sex, Girls made it clear that sex wasn’t just a titillation tactic, but that sexual dynamics are just as important to a relationship as anything else.

Tom Hanks, icon. This article was originally published in 2016 and has been updated to include Tom Hanks’s recent work. You might say there’s a unified theory of Hanks. The actor contains multitudes but is always Tom Hanks. As a result, he’s often accused of playing one character: the fundamentally decent, good-hearted, noble but humble all-American Everyman. There’s some truth to this, of course — Hanks wouldn’t work as Travis Bickle, no matter how hard he tried.

The cast of Everything Everywhere All at Once celebrates their SAG win. Is there a universe in which Everything Everywhere All at Once doesn’t win Best Picture? The theory of the infinite multiverse suggests there must be a few alternate realities where the Daniels’ live-action Looney Tune goes home empty-handed on Oscars night, including at least one in which Minions: The Rise of Gru triumphs instead. But in our timeline, the film’s title succinctly sums up its awards trajectory so far.

Oh, George Clooney, you prankster, you. You charming jester, you impish rogue, you roguish imp. Such was public opinion of George Clooney and his pranks for years. How lovely that an A-list actor doesn’t take himself or his movies or the people he’s in them with so seriously! How good of George Ol’ Boy to goof off at the big Hollywood machine, and only at the expense of others. How young we once were, and how innocent.

Anyone who tuned in to Netflix’s Making a Murderer, HBO’s The Jinx, or NPR’s Serial podcast probably indulged a fantasy that, had they sat on any of those juries, fair verdicts would have been meted out. The maddening reality, however — and part of what’s made all the above mini-series so addictive — is that our indignation’s been collectively stoked by an overwhelming presentation of evidence and testimony that could have only been accrued in the years following each case’s respective trials.
