It’s been a busy, and random, few days in our little entertainment world.
First of all, Ant-Man finally dropped this weekend and charmed all of us here at The Monitor—but also left us wondering what it means for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Then there was Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck, which was brilliant (and brilliantly funny). And finally there were the Emmy and MTV VMA nominations, which … we took a little bit more of an issue with.
In other words, there’s a lot of accord in this week’s ‘cast, but also a bit of dissent. We got editors and contributors Jordan Crucchiola, Peter Rubin, K.M. McFarland, and Angela Watercutter armed and ready with opinions, so click Play and get in the fray.
Also, here are a few helpful links for things we talk about in the podcast:
-Angela Watercutter’s review of Ant-Man -K.M. McFarland’s piece on why Trainwreck isn’t a rom-com -WIRED’s roundup of the biggest surprises in the Emmy nominations
(Stitchers/Soundclouders/iTuners: we’ll be making the podcast available through other outlets soon.)
