…Recommends TV (Muppets NOW, Perry Mason, Lovecraft Country)
Adaptations are hard to do well, especially when you’re trying to balance creating something new while preserving the old. Which of these shows managed it?

One of the best things about America is that we have so many different types of people who like so many different types of things. Each of these movies and shows is different, but they all have one thing in common: they’re all set on the Fourth of July.
…Recommends Movies and TV (Avatar Franchise)
“Avatar: The Last Airbender” has been on Netflix for a while now, and if you haven’t watched it yet, then I recommend checking it out. But what about other Avatar movies and shows?

As I said in my podcast last week, entertainment is about more than just amusement or diversion. It can enlighten and educate at the same time. Here are some movies and TV shows that can raise awareness about racial justice in the United States.
…About the Need for Entertainment
What role does entertainment play in our lives, and how important is that role? That’s what I talk about in this podcast.

Once a story is told and you’re wondering where to go next, sometimes the best place to go is back to the beginning…or even further.
