Kai (Evan Peters) is the fervid Trump supporter who is empowered, post-election, to begin his old cult. Ally (Sara Paulsen) is the distraught liberal who is so depressed, post-election, that she begins to fall apart mentally – even imagining that she’s being chased and threatened by frightening clowns. This new season of American Horror Story sounds like an obvious knee-jerk reaction to a particularly divisive political climate – but as it progresses, Cult begins rolling out tw

Ken Burns was nine-years-old when he first heard the word Vietnam, and it meant nothing to him. That is to say, it meant about as much to him as North Korea might to an average nine-year-old today...

This movie came out when I was 7 years old, and while I didn’t even fully grasp the Swiss part of the title, or wonder why the shipwrecked boys had names like Ernst and Fritz, this live-action Disney film about a family fighting off pirates on a remote island, and living in an absurdly ornate treehouse, was almost too much for my imagination to bear. If my own, non-Swiss family hadn’t just moved to Ft. Lauderdale, where just about the only trees were palms, I would have lobbied for a

Part 2 of 3. This miniseries deepens tonight, with a series of character studies comparable to Jane Tennison’s in the original Helen Mirren mysteries on Prime Suspect. Elisabeth Moss’s detective, Robin Griffin, is even more troubled and burdened than she was in the first Top of the Lake miniseries in 2013.
