In 1970, Lynne Drexler’s world suddenly became muted in color when a mental breakdown triggered temporary, psychosomatic color blindness. Yet despite this profound sensory shift, the artist never stopped working.

Morey and Chen sat down with RogerEbert.com to discuss naming the female lead character after…
I’ll admit to entering “MobLand” with some hesitation. Paramount+ has wasted no time becoming the hub for what could be called “Dad TV,” mostly by Taylor Sheridan, but not exclusively, and I haven’t been the biggest fan of most of it. It’s really an extension of the fact that network partner CBS has had the oldest average viewer for generations, which has extended a sort of “old-fashioned,” sometimes even arguably MAGA production schedule to weave from the broadcast version to the streaming one. I also wasn’t into Guy Ritchie’s last streaming effort in Netflix’s “The Gentlemen.” Would this be just…
