This week, Dana and Steve are joined by the New York Times’ Aisha Harris to discuss Homecoming, Beyoncé’s new Netflix documentary about her now-legendary 2018 Coachella performance. It shows us the artist at her most astonishing—but also her most carefully curated. Next, the trio unpack Jordan Peele’s reboot of The Twilight Zone, a sometimes thought-provoking but wildly uneven update of the beloved sci-fi franchise. In a field already crowded by the likes of Black Mirror, can it find anything fresh to say about the world of 2019? Finally, Marie Claire editor Karen Schwartz helps them consider the Mueller report as literature.
