This week on Pop Culture Convos our host (and resident #FreeBritney supporter) David Kwiatkowski is joined by former entertainment editor and Miami grad, Will Gorman, managing editor, Briah Lumpkins, and our new EIC, Tim Carlin for a discussion on the recent New York Times documentary, "Framing Britney Spears."
Denzel Curry has been one of my favorite artists for the past three years. The dude is brilliant, funny and always on the cutting edge. He hasn’t released a single bad album, in my opinion — that’s hard to do these days.
During a time when nearly one in five Americans and three in 10 Black or Hispanic Americans report knowing a close friend or relative that has died from COVID-19, it’s safe to say there’s been some trauma acquired over the course of the pandemic.
The two editors duked it out over who had a better experience watching the show. Below is their conversation, edited for clarity.
“Borat: Subsequent MovieFilm” co-star Maria Bakalova earned the title of Hollywood’s “Breakout Star” this award season. Playing the part of Borat’s 15-year-old daughter, Tutar, the 24-year-old debuted in her first Hollywood film alongside Sacha Baron Cohen, turning many heads.
“Minari” so meticulously unearthed these uncomfortable memories from my youth because, in David, I didn't just see a child who looked like me – I saw my childhood. I saw it in a way I never had before on screen, in full color through such subtle, intimate details
When I watched “Bridgerton,” I felt the same way I felt when I was 10 years old and I just had to read one more chapter of my book before bed.
Do you remember when you were a kid, playing an 8-bit game on a CRT television, and some inexplicable bug would summon a harsh array of digitized and artifacted tones and sounds?
After six years of radio silence, one of the most soulful voices in R&B, Jazmine Sullivan, released her latest EP, “Heaux Tales.” Through its eight songs and six ‘tales,’ interludes from Sullivan’s friends and family, she delivers a strong project about love, heartache and, yes, sex.
First and foremost, I want to get a few things out in the open: I understand that Bella is annoying. Get over it.
During quarantine, our sophomore and junior editors started to contribute to a monthly playlist where they all put in their five favorite songs for the month. Below, all of the contributors posted their favorite song and an explanation on why they chose it.
Although music has found a way to survive during COVID-19 , other parts of the industry haven’t been as lucky.
Last winter, I saw “Cats,” “Frozen II,” “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” “Emma” and “1917” in theaters. My goal for the year was to see a movie every other weekend in 2020, and for the first couple, I was well ahead of schedule.

“Anniversary” (stylized “A N N I V E R S A R Y”) may look like the spitting image of “Trapsoul” at first glance, swapping the red album artwork with blue. In a way, Tiller’s latest project is an anniversary of sorts.
I was never Cyrus’s biggest fan. For years, I had lived with the idea that she was a factory-produced popstar not worth my time. I saw the stereotypical Miley fan as a teenage girl and decided I was too good to listen to any of her work. I was wrong.
