https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ffm-DfOTtv8&ab_channel=Versace Against the odds of a global pandemic, Milan Fashion Week went predominantly as planned. Italy, one of the biggest initial hotspots for the COVID-19 virus earlier this year, the first European country to impose a lockdown and at one point the country with the most coronavirus-related deaths, certainly demonstrated its ability to recover better…
Last Monday, September 29, the National Gallery in Washington DC announced that a traveling exhibition of the works of Philip Guston, known for blunt depictions of the Ku Klux Klan and other forms of racism in the US, would be postponed until 2024.

Christopher Nolan’s Tenet was simply put, not the grand American “Return to the Movies” Hollywood was hoping for.

Despite perfectly satisfactory reviews, Americans were just not motivated enough (or perhaps…

In spite of the tumultuous last half year, the current pandemic has done very little to derail the typical media storm leading up to the Primetime Emmy broadcast.

It is impossible to understate the lasting influence of historic Black American leaders like Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Malcolm X, Harriet Tubman, Langston Hughes, W.E.B. Du Boise, and more recent voices like Barack and Michelle Obama. But the history of the Civil Rights Movement, as well as countless aspects of general American culture…
Disney’s Mulan has had something of a tumultuous lead-up to release: multiple delays, a controversial lead actress, and most recently some questionable end credits.

While the Primetime Emmy’s do not mean everything (often getting notoriously snubbed can actually be better for PR and viewership, just ask The Wire or Orphan Black), they certainly are a good indication of clout.
