As Culture Gabfest is ending, this week's show marks my official final appearance. But it's a GOOD episode with some great familiar faces!
We discuss:
- Masters of the Universe with @jamellebouie.net
- Is God Is
- and Taylor Swift with @jodyrosen.bsky.social + @juliaturner.bsky.social!
In our own proverbial Eras Tour, the Gabfest revisits the great Taylor debates of yore.
4/ And here’s @calllmenadira.net on how this very white director also made one of the Blackest movies in history. slate.com/culture/2026...
Was on @npr.org's It's Been a Minute w/ @bmluse.bsky.social + @judysquirrels.bsky.social to discuss Is God Is and women exacting revenge on screen 💛: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

Was emotional (really!) to make a final appearance on the greatest culture podcast there ever was. Love you, Dana, Julia, & Steve. The GOATs
Very sadly, it's been announced today that the @slate.com Culture Gabfest, which set the standard for arts podcasts, will end after this month. I had the honour of being one of the first regular guests to come say goodbye, with a final great conversation. carlwilson.substack.com/p/au-revoir-...
