    Paul Is Not Dead Yet Edition

    On this week’s monster mash, Steve, Dana, and Julia gather around the proverbial reanimation laboratory to take on the nutty, goth, and unbridled The Bride! Maggie Gyllenhaal’s feminist—or not, it’s up for debate—retelling of Frankenstein features a truly committed performance from Jessie Buckley. Do the disjointed pieces add to a coherent whole? They discuss. Next, they take a look at Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, the Morgan Neville documentary about the moment when the legendary songwriter and rockstar stopped being a Beatle and had to become something else. Finally, they wade through the morass of titles like How to Tame a Silver Fox and Ms. CEO’s Baby Daddy Is the Merchant of Death to explore the exceedingly cheap and increasingly popular world of vertical micro-dramas via the app ReelShort.  In a bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, they tackle the question of when, in fact, one becomes an adult—inspired by a recent piece in The New Yorker by Shayla Love.  And if you’re watching the Oscars this week, don’t miss a chance for a special live pre-show with your fave Gabfest critics. Dana joins Isaac Butler, Nadira Goffe, and Sam Adams on Thursday, March 12, for an Oscars preview unlike any other. They’ll weigh in on the sinners and saints of this year’s award season. Endorsements Dana: The compilation of Kris Kristofferson songs The Essential Kris Kristofferson, especially the first disc. Julia: The Helen Garner novel The Spare Room. Also her new LA-based news outlet, L.A. Material, launching next week. Steve: Jean Guéhenno's account of life in Occupied France Diary of the Dark Years, 1940-1944. --- Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.  Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch. Production assistance by Daniel Hirsch. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    When Do We Become Adults?

    “Are you a grown-up?” That’s the question du jour as Julia, Steve, and Dana take inspiration from a recent New Yorker essay by Shayla Love “When Do We Become Adults, Really?” It proves murky as the societal conceptions and cultural norms seem to be constantly in flux.

    Elvis Has Entered the Building Edition

    On this week’s show, Steve is joined by June Thomas, author of A Place of Our Own, and Michael Schulman, author of Her Again and Oscar Wars, for some rollicking Gabfest discourse. First up, they get all shook up by EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert, the concert documentary directed by Baz Luhrmann from archival Elvis performance footage. Does the master of cinematic spectacle bring the King back to life? Next, they turn to The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, the new sitcom from 30 Rock co-creator Robert Carlock starring Tracy Morgan. Finally, they examine the uncanny and profound phenomena of posthumously-published celebrity interviews—including Eric Dane and Jane Goodall—of Netflix’s Famous Last Words specials. Existential bravery or exploitative trash? They discuss. In an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the panel weighs in on the best casting Oscar race. Endorsements Michael: The audiobook of the memoir I Regret Almost Everything by Keith McNally as narrated by the incomparable Richard E. Grant. June: Two niche podcasts featuring conversations with authors of biography including Bio, the official podcast of the Biographers International Organization, and Biographers in Conversation. Also, jumping on the Richard E. Grant train, the BBC parody cooking series Posh Nosh starring Grant and Arabella Weir. Steve: The recent essay “The Stony Dark Within” by Joy Williams about Rainer Maria Rilke in the New York Review of Books. -- Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.  Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch.

    The Creator of Derry Girls Is Back Edition

    The original trio Steve, Dana, and Julia convene for a right cracker of a Gabfest as they discuss How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, the new comedic mystery from Derry Girls creator Lisa McGee. In the Netflix series, three longtime Belfast friends must revisit their childhood trauma to unravel the mystery of a fourth friend’s disappearance— raucous Northern Irish hijinks ensue. Next, they step into the unhinged dystopian Los Angeles of Gore Verbinski’s new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. In it a beleaguered time traveler played by Sam Rockwell must visit the same Norm’s diner 117 times to save the world from the menace of A.I.. Finally, they welcome Slate senior writer Christina Cauterucci to unpack her recent piece “My Gun and Me” about her unlikely journey towards gun ownership during Trump 2.0—and how she’s not alone in doing so in her left-leaning, queer community. In an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, they determine if there are indeed no comfortable reading positions, as a recent Slate essay by Luke Winkie attests.  Endorsements Dana: The latest Today in Tabs entry from Rusty Foster "A.I. Isn't People." Julia: In lieu of an endorsement, a gripe: the much-hyped New York Times two-player word game Crossplay is just Scrabble! (If only there were a German word for this specific form of disappointment...) Steve: Rereading J.D. Salinger with some distance from one’s own adolescence— particularly Franny and Zooey and the short story "For Esmé—with Love and Squalor." And for a good critical reassessment, read Janet Malcolm's New York Review of Books essay "Justice to J.D. Salinger."  -- Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.  Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch. Production assistance by Daniel Hirsch. Hosted on Acast.

    No Comfortable Reading Positions

    Dana, Steve, and Julia assert their positions, as it were, on a recent, classically Slate hot take laid out by Luke Winkie in his recent piece “There Is No Comfortable Reading Position.” Is there merit to this argument? How should one avoid craniosacral hell? Does Luke need to read better books? Are Euro pillows the reading hack of the century? And what, exactly, is Dana’s “grand banana theory”? Listen to find out the answer to these questions and more.

    Heathcliff, It’s Me Cathy Edition

    This week, Dana is joined by Amy Nicholson, Los Angeles Times film critic and host of the podcast Unspooled, as well as Jamelle Bouie, New York Times columnist and host of the podcast Unclear and Present Danger. They discuss love affairs, lustful, glamorous, and interspecies. First up, it’s the lustful as they take up Emerald Fennell’s bodice-ripping adaptation of “Wuthering Heights.” Starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the doomed duo Cathy and Heathcliff, the adaptation promises an over-the-top, camp spin on the Gothic tale but does it offer enough depravity to really deliver? Next, it’s on to the glamorous with the Ryan Murphy-produced, CK One-scented limited series Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette about the tragic love story of the political scion and New York fashion It Girl. Finally, they discuss all the interspecies hijinks and backstage chaos in the delightful revival of The Muppet Show. In an exclusive bonus episode for Slate Plus subscribers, the trio of cinephiles celebrate recent reporting that movie theaters are cool again. Endorsements Jamelle: William Wyler's 1939 version of Wuthering Heights starring Laurence Olivier— and while you're visiting the Criterion Channel, check out their collection Mervyn LeRoy’s Pre-Code Films. Amy: Gore Verbinski's new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, in theaters now. Dana: The patient, observant documentaries of the recently deceased filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, several of which are available to stream on Kanopy.  ---- Email us your thoughts at culturefest@slate.com.  Podcast production by Benjamin Frisch.

    Are Movie Theaters Cool Again?

    Cinephiles Dana and guest hosts Amy Nicholson and Jamelle Bouie revel in an unlikely trend recently reported in Vox: movie theaters are cool again. According to recent industry studies, members of Gen Z and Gen Alpha are seeing films in theaters at increasingly higher rates. Our panelists discuss why this is such good news for culture and even for democracy itself, the role of social media sites like Letterboxd play in fueling this trend, why you shouldn’t trust the rhetoric of streaming entertainment executives, and what’s the best regional movie theater chain in the San Antonio, Texas area.
