House Republicans celebrated their newfound majority earlier this year by forming a special subcommittee to investigate supposed anti-conservative bias throughout the government. The Weaponization of the Federal Government Committee has largely been a flop, with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) helming a series of hearings that instead of unearthing “deep state” conspiracies have highlighted just how little the GOP is concerned with actual governance.
The committee’s hearing on Thursday, meant to examine whether the Biden administration influence how social media companies handled the Covid-19 pandemic, was no different. Jordan called far-right Sen.

What becomes a legend most? Well, in the case of Marilyn Monroe, it’s countless books, feature films, TV movies, limited series, documentaries and even a Broadway musical. “Blonde,” the latest film about the influential sex symbol, who starred in such films as 1953’s “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and 1959’s ‘Some Like it Hot” and tragically died at the age of 36 in 1962, has been polarizing critics and audiences since it premiered at the recent Venice Film Festival.
Based on Joyce Carol Oates’ best-selling 2000 novel, “Blonde” offers a fictionalized look at the troubled actress. Currently in theaters and streaming on Netflix, “Blonde” stars Ana de Armas. She has been singled out by critics for her work, but director Andrew Dominik (“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”) hasn’t been so lucky. “’Blonde’ has been conceived as a slow-motion death march,” said the L.A. Times Justin Chan.

I hadn’t previously seen any stand-up routine from Flo and Joan, a tandem of musical comedians who sing whimsical and sometimes surprisingly biting comedic songs. The two sarcastic sisters really are easy as hell to watch and enjoy, the whole show flew by without a dull moment, something that can be pretty rare in stand-up for me these days.
The variety of songs discuss so many different things in a way that is catchy and entertaining, and they manage to push through some of their world views along the way, thrusting some judgments of humanity into their vocals that are pretty damn hilarious. Some might find there’s a lot of negativity and cynicism to their set, and there is I guess, but it works well with the random shots of hope and tenderness along the way. They truly manage to add some really sweet lyrics into their songs,...

Actors and actresses may get most of the glory, but it truly does take a village to make a character come alive on screen. Departments including hair, makeup and costumes are crucial to building a backstory or offer Easter eggs to details that may not be deliberately stated in dialogue or viewed in facial expressions, as well as to provide performers crucial assistance in fleshing out a role.
For Keri Russell, nominated for her uptight, country-loyal heroine in FX’s spy drama “The Americans,” finding Elizabeth Jennings was easy because she was “always very finished,” and that said a lot about who she was. Russell credits makeup designer Lori Hicks with helping creating Elizabeth’s “exactness,” especially in such areas as dark, cat-like eyeliner, which acted as her “armor.”

Quietly playing comedy shows for well over a decade and releasing albums since 2000, Stephen Lynch has built up a cult following with his combination of bold, raunchy humor and capable songwriting. Despite eschewing typical comedy clubs, he's starred in two Comedy Central Presents tours and co-headlined with Mitch Hedberg on the latter's final comedy tour. After taking several years off to perform as the lead in the Broadway production of The Wedding Singer, Lynch put out the album 3 Balloons earlier this year and has returned to touring steadily.
