We Love The Talk Shows

The talk shows we love: Dignity-crushing machines? Talk shows are not just a form of harmless entertainment where social issues are discussed. The choices made in production and by the host can harm the guests appearing on the show, particularly regarding the humiliation techniques used. In the world of academic research surrounding culture, media and entertainment, the study of talk shows has a rather humble place, informed primarily by semiology (the study of signs and their meanings), journalism studies and language sciences. In such contexts, this media genre appears innocuous, using mainly discursive strategies such as interviews or debates for the purpose of informing or entertaining the public while exploiting topics of public interest. However, placed under the lens of a prac...

The Cute Rabbi In ‘Nobody Wants This’

In ‘Nobody Wants This,’ rom-com gets century-old tropes with a new twist – the cute rabbi. Twenty years ago, the television show “The O.C.” invented the word “Chrismukkah.” Main character Seth Cohen, played by Adam Brody, described his interfaith family’s December tradition of “eight days of presents followed by one day of lots of presents.” Today Brody is back, starring in a new Netflix show. But this time, instead of playing the child of an interfaith marriage, he is a rabbi dating a woman “without a Jewish bone in her body” – one who, at times, seems unfamiliar with the basics of American Jewish culture. “Nobody Wants This” is the story of a romance between Rabbi Noah and Joanne, played by Kristen Bell: a blond, non-Jewish woman who hosts a podcast about her dating disasters. The s...

Tight White-Blonde Curls Of Julia Garner

Sporting a cherubic face topped off by a lush mop of tight white-blonde curls, it's no wonder that Julia Garner would have a heavenly body to match. Teen drama came calling for Julia when she appeared in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), before she took her perky pair to horror in The Last Exorcism Part II (2013). Her mythical sexuality in I Believe in Unicorns (2014) made us one horny mofo, especially when she makes out with Stranger Things star Natalia Dyer, even if they were fully clothed. Julia finally made showed her dong awaited nude debut when she bared her buns skinny dipping with Juno Temple in One Percent More Humid (2017) which made things hot hot hot. Julia next wore black lingerie to lust after in an episode of Girls and this girl is someone to drool over with a body li...

Finally Available To Stream — ‘Homicide: Life On The Streets’

‘Homicide: Life on the Streets’ laid the groundwork for Peak TV – and it’s finally available to stream for new and old fans of the series. When “Homicide: Life on the Streets” premiered on NBC in 1993, most network television police dramas were formulaic, cleanly shot and had clear delineations between good and evil. “Homicide” was different. It featured cops, but you couldn’t always tell whether they were the good guys or the bad guys; its writers played with traditional episode formats; and its scenes were shot on location with handheld cameras in order to give the show a realistic feel. While TV buffs have long championed the series as a classic, few viewers during the show’s original run seemed to notice or care. “Homicide” suffered from low ratings, interference from the network ...

A World Without Law And Order ‘House of the Dragon’ Inspired By The Chaos Of The Middle Ages

‘House of the Dragon’ was inspired by the chaos of the Middle Ages, a world without law and order. Students in my medieval history courses often wonder whether historical reality can be gleaned from medieval cinematic fantasy. I tell them that fantasy does not aspire to historical verisimilitude. But it can reflect medieval conflicts, values and norms. The first season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” exemplified this. Its narrative, as noted by co-creator George R. R. Martin, drew inspiration from England’s Anarchy, a 12th-century civil war sparked by King Henry I’s effort to make his daughter, the Empress Matilda, a ruling queen. King Viserys of Martin’s fictional Westeros does the same with his daughter Rhaenyra. This fantasy evoked the vagaries of hereditary succession and the misog...

The Real Ladies Of Bridgerton Weren’t As Ignorant About Sex As Many Of The Characters

Bridgerton: in a show full of sex, many of the characters know little about it – the real ladies of the ton weren’t so ignorant.
