Holland Taylor's exit interview

Holland Taylor has been performing her play Ann since 2010, but her run at the Pasadena Playhouse was her last rodeo (other women can take on the role, of course). Oooh this was fun to do! Click here for the fun.

Severance mood board

What a treat to chat with creator Dan Erickson about some of the influences he brought to his series Severance. Click here!

Jaquel Spivey

Since November, I've had several conversations with Jaquel Spivey about his starring role in A Strange Loop. It's rare that I get this much time with someone, and I think it paid off. Click here for the article. 

Alfie Allen's My 10

My entire family was into Game of Thrones so they're very psyched that I got to talk to Theon Greyjoy, sorry, Alfie Allen — who's making his Broadway debut in Hangmen — about his go-to items. Thataway for the article.

Five sci-fi movies to stream in April

My latest column for the Times features the usual diverse array of streaming under-the-radar movies. Dive in!

Harmony

Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman's musical has been circling the New York airport for a long time, and I'd say it was worth the wait. My review is here.

The Little Prince

The French import The Little Prince crash-landed on Broadway. I was there to check out the wreckage: read all about it in my review for the Times.

Valérie Lemercier talks Aline

I've been a fan of Valérie Lemercier for decades and this was my first time interviewing her — about her film Aline, which I liked a whole lot. Thataway for my feature.

Little Girl Blue

I don't have the same hangups against jukebox musicals as many of my colleagues, but I readily admit that the biographical subgenre is the hardest to tackle. Read my review to see how Laiona Michelle fared with her show about Nina Simone.

Science-fiction movies for March

Another sci-fi smorgasborg for March! Click here for my latest batch of under-the-radar releases.

The American Song Contest is coming

I am ridiculously excited about this new NBC show! Here's a primer about what to expect when it starts on Monday.

The Life

The latest Encores! production bears little resemblance, in its approach, to the series' mission as it was once defined. By all means, adapt away — just don't call it an Encores. My review is here.

Is Big Sky the future of skiing?

I truly don't have the answer to that question, but it's interesting to think about it. My take, which will not solve anything: there are no good answers. Click here for my story about the Montana ski resort.

Stromae

Stromae's back! I talked to him about his new album, the glories of Technotronic and so much more. Click here for the interview.

Science-fiction movies for February

This month's selection of under-the-radar science-fiction movies casts a not particularly optimistic look at the future (though one of them does involve a Shyamalan-esque plot twist). Click here for the streaming goods.

Reacher on Amazon

A new Reacher series is streaming on Amazon and of course I wrote about it — I've lost track of how many of those books I've read! Click here for the big and burly stuff.

Prayer for the French Republic

I will always support playwrights' ambitions; I just wish Joshua Harmon's new family saga had found a better third act. Click here for my review. 

Pam & Tommy

When news of this miniseries came out a few months ago, I immediately pitched a story. But when I finally watched the 8 episodes, they did not go at all where I expected — which is a very good thing. Click here for my preview feature.

Exponential Festival 2022

The Exponential Festival went digital this year, and I watched seven of the shows (the fest concludes on Monday). It was a discombobulating experience, which is reflected in my account for The New York Times.

Five sci-fi movies for January

The latest batch of under-the-radar science-fiction movies is out, and the timing is perfect: it's snowy and cold in NYC — cue up some flicks! Click here for the list.
