Queens get the money: The fascinating life of Action Bronson
(01/09/21 10:32pm)
Action Bronson is a true Renaissance man. No, he’s not the only New York rapper to expand his repertoire past the recording studio. A$AP Rocky, out of Harlem, is a globally recognized fashion icon who also acted in several films, most notably Rick Famuyiwa’s 2015 flick Dope. Jay-Z, out of Brooklyn, was a partial owner of the Nets and was instrumental in getting them to relocate to his home borough. Regardless, Action Bronson — born Ariyan Arslani — is a man of mystery with a seemingly never-ending supply of innovations up his sleeve. From movies to books and fitness to food, Bronson is an assorted, frequently stoned bundle of energy that perfectly represents the diversity and hustle of the city he hails from.
‘The Lo-Fis’ is our most personal look at Steve Lacy yet
(12/30/20 11:26pm)
The 22-year-old multi-instrumentalist Steve Lacy out of Compton, Calif. might be the most prolific musician who’s only been legally allowed to drink for 19 months. Still just scratching the surface of his prime, Lacy joined neo-soul group the Internet back in 2014 when he was still in high school and hasn’t looked back. Having already worked with a wide variety of collaborators and producing parts of multiple Grammy-nominated albums, Lacy has cemented himself as one of the most exciting contemporary musicians of the decade. Just as the decade comes to a close, Lacy released The Lo-Fis, a treasure trove of demos and ideas for the dedicated fan.

(12/22/20 3:34am)

Chess junkie or not, 'The Queen's Gambit' is a must-watch
(12/10/20 7:00am)
In chess, a gambit is an opening sequence in which one side sacrifices material in hopes of gaining a positional advantage, the queen’s gambit being the most famous among them. Now, if you don’t know anything about chess, you should still watch the Netflix miniseries "The Queen’s Gambit" for a multitude of reasons — the fact that it has become a global sensation being just one. I bring up the concept of a gambit, however, because the story of Beth Harmon — the central character in "The Queen’s Gambit" — is just that, a gambit, and the series certainly offers no shortage of the thrill and suspense that one would expect to accompany a gambit — and if you don’t play chess just take my word for it that gambits peak the scale on the chess excitement-o-meter.
Man of the Year, even in death: A look at Juice Wrld’s legacy one year after his passing
(12/08/20 6:05pm)
It’s almost impossible to believe that it’s been an entire year since Juice Wrld passed away from an accidental codeine and oxycodone overdose in Chicago. As cliche as it may be, his music has lived on in the hearts and minds of his millions of fans. His 5.9 billion Spotify streams this year prove that, but they don't tell the full story.
Amy Adams, Glenn Close’s powerful performances save 'Hillbilly Elegy'
(12/02/20 9:01pm)
It’s rare to see a film that feels like it’s divided into two separate films based on the different time periods it depicts. Such is the case with Ron Howard’s “Hillbilly Elegy,” based on the 2016 memoir by J.D. Vance that describes his troubling upbringing in Ohio involving his mother’s heroin addiction.
About a year on, an album we didn’t know we needed: Everyday Life by Coldplay
(12/03/20 7:00am)
While most of the world focused on the unveiling of the Tesla Cybertruck last November and lost it when the “armor glass” on the truck smashed — much to Elon Musk’s embarrassment — another unveiling was taking place in Amman, Jordan. Diametrically opposite to the chaos that the Cybertruck caused, this unveiling was peaceful and serene. It was hosted by none other than Coldplay, who released their most recent album Everyday Life via two live performances during the Jordanian sunrise and sunset that were streamed in their entirety on YouTube. The performances were meant to correspond to the two halves of the album titled “Sunrise” and “Sunset” and the location was a nod to the Middle Eastern influences of the album. Being a biased Coldplay fan, I found the performance to be quite godly, especially when meshed in with the beauty of Amman and indeed, the sunrise and the sunset, but unfortunately, I could not get anybody to appreciate the brilliance of the performance — and indeed, the album — at the time.
'Grey’s Anatomy' dedicates season 17 to healthcare workers during COVID-19
(11/29/20 8:10pm)
Loyal fans of the prime-time medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy” were rewarded for their patience when the 17th season premiered on Thursday, Nov. 12. The anxiously awaited return of the longest-running prime-time medical drama in America was well received by its audience with 5.7 million total views. The unexpected hiatus between seasons 16 and 17 left fans hanging with no real finale. The show’s production was abruptly stopped with 4 episodes to finish the 16th season last March, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In an effort to protect the staff and actors of the show, the decision was made to discontinue filming, making Grey’s the first prime-time show to do so.
Are You Entertained? — A weekly entertainment column
(11/24/20 2:00pm)
We’re on lucky number seven here at “Are You Entertained,” and sadly it couldn’t seem to come at an unluckier time. The world looks damn bleak right now, and as I listen to my family member cough up a COVID-filled lung downstairs and approach my fifth straight week of self-imposed social isolation measures, I know myself — and I’m sure many other Badgers out there — could use a few gentle reminders on what the word “gratitude” looks like during this time of the year.

“The Boys” is the perfect show for our political moment
(11/12/20 8:00am)
I’m going to be honest and say I hadn’t seen any of “The Boys” until September when a good friend recommended it to me. The day after he told me I should check it out, I watched the first episode.Then the second. And then it only seemed right to watch the third. Within four days I had blown through the first season and half and was eagerly awaiting the next episode’s release on Amazon Prime Video.
