Last week, we found just how insidiously Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) had spread herself into the outside world, in her plan to conquer and destroy the “outside” world. This week, that leaves many questions to ponder, including whether the “outside” world really is outside the park – and whether the plural form of Dolores should be Doloreses – or Dolori.

HOMELAND By David Bianculli

It seemed, in last week’s episode, that Carrie was going to save the day again, by finding and acquiring the voice and instrument reading recorder black box from the helicopter crash that killed the U.S. President. But at the last second, she was betrayed by her Russian collaborator, injected with a drug that knocked her out, and carted out, along with the black box. As a result, Carrie is in danger, Saul is in high intensity mode trying to find her and the crucial information she had loca

IT: CHAPTER TWO By David Bianculli

In this 2019 sequel to Stephen King’s It, Bill Skarsgard returns as Pennywise, but the surviving children he terrorized in the first movie are all grown up now. This follow-up film is set 27 years later, a shift which allows the members of The Losers Club to be played by an older generation of actors – including Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Bill Hader.

DIRECTED BY PETER BOGDANOVICH By David Bianculli

All this month, TCM is showing movies by Peter Bogdanovich on Saturday nights, working through his output in chronological order.

It’s one of the final installments of the controversial Sixties variety show, and originally aired on Easter Sunday 51 years ago – on April 13, 1969. It was one of the final two shows already taped, but not yet broadcast, when CBS fired the Smothers Brothers in a telegram sent 10 days earlier – and it includes an incendiary and soulful musical set by Ike and Tina Turner
