 The Sewer Boys will claim us all.

An essential corrective to how so many stories are elided from history.

A Stop Making Sense roundtable.

 

I put together a bunch of people and asked them about Stop Making Sense.

At the movies: Bottoms.

 

Emma Seligman continues to knock them out of the park. Bottoms is the kind of weirdo High School adventure I wish we'd had back in the '90s.
