Not Just Eating Bugs For Money! A Story Of 'Survivor' And Strategy
Wednesday, February 25, 2015
The most famous scene in the first season of Survivor, back in the summer of 2000, involved the castaways, who were very hungry indeed, catching and cooking a rat, then tentatively picking meat off the bones. There was also a challenge that involved eating grubs as quickly as possible. This ...
'Parks And Recreation' Sets Off Into The Future
Tuesday, February 24, 2015
After seven seasons, NBC's gently acerbic, lovingly rendered Parks and Recreation ended its run Tuesday night with an extension of the final season's voyage to 2017. In further flashes to a few years or even decades later, we learned about April and Andy's kids, Garry's future as a beloved eternal ...
'Birdman' Wins Big On A Soggy Night At The Oscars
Monday, February 23, 2015
The rain that fell on Hollywood as the hours of red-carpet coverage wore on may have provided one of the evening's best visuals: actual people running around wearing plastic bags as they guided famous people out of limos, under umbrellas and to the waiting microphones of interviewers who wanted to ...
Watch The Oscars With Us
Sunday, February 22, 2015
The nominees are in, the arguments have been had, and the ceremony is all that's left of Oscar season. (Well, and the griping over what should have won.)
On Sunday night, we'll be where lots of other people will be: on Twitter. NPR film critic Bob Mondello will ...

Friday, February 20, 2015
We didn't get to tape our Oscars Omnibus live the way we planned (stay tuned for a make-up date for ticketholders), but we did get to sit down with our friend Bob Mondello to talk about all eight contenders in the Best Picture race. (For more on Selma, ...

Making Peace With Peace: Snow Days And Seasons
Tuesday, February 17, 2015
So here we are, many of us in the D.C. area, doing what many in the Northeast — particularly New England — have been doing lately: looking out the window.
Let us put aside for the moment the question of whether offices are closed too much or too little. It's ...

A Skilled Cast Perks Up The Sweet And Funny 'Fresh Off The Boat'
Wednesday, February 04, 2015
Fresh Off The Boat, a comedy premiering Wednesday night on ABC, is the rare series that features Asian-American actors in a show about an Asian-American family. It closely resembles ABC's Black-ish not primarily because both shows feature casts of color, but because both shows share a sort of emerging ABC ...
Watch The Super Bowl Or We'll Kick This Dog: The Saddest Ads Ever
Monday, February 02, 2015
After years in which the themes of Super Bowl ads seemed to be bikinis, high jinks and crude things happening to old people, what a surprise to find out that Sunday night, the theme was feelings.
Not regular feelings like the ones you have when something actually happens to you, ...

If You've Gotta Reboot 'Ghostbusters,' At Least Do It With This Cast
Wednesday, January 28, 2015
There's a solid argument to be made against a reboot of Ghostbusters, just as there's a solid argument to be made against a reboot of just about anything. You could take any group of creative people, put them together, and wish they'd just start from scratch rather than revisit a ...

Some Glittery Favorites From The Miss Universe National Costume Show
Thursday, January 22, 2015
One of my favorite bonkers displays of the year is the National Costume Show at the Miss Universe pageant. I don't watch the pageant, I don't care who wins, I don't think any of the countries are funny, I don't think any of the cultural references in the outfits are ...

'Parks And Recreation' Shows The Beating Heart Of Its Great Love Story
Wednesday, January 21, 2015
The wedding of Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) and Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott) was one of Parks and Recreation's greatest moments. So was the wedding of April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) and Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt). But Tuesday night, Parks spent the second half of its hourlong double episode on its greatest ...
