This week鈥檚 Nose is short. $6,950. But it is not, it鈥檚 not a problem.
Our original plan for this week was to look at the final seasons of Better Call Saul and Ozark. But it turns out that, among our full stable of nostrils 鈥� this is a group of more than 20 people who are, by definition, dialed into the mass market popular culture, mind you 鈥� there鈥檚 not a single person who watches both shows.
In discovering that, we got to thinking about how anymore. How, in fact, anymore. And how, even with the things that you specifically try to keep up with, by the time the new bits come out, .
So The Nose gets into some or all of that. And then we do look at the final season, the final part of the final season, 鈥淪eason Four, Part Two鈥� of Ozark. This bit almost certainly, almost necessarily gets spoilery. If you鈥檙e worried about that sort of thing, you might want to duck out at the first break.
Some other stuff that happened this week, give or take:
- He influenced multiple generations with his style and co-created such characters as Ra鈥檚 al Ghul, the Man-Bat and one of DC鈥檚 first Black superheroes, Green Lantern John Stewart.
- He personified the paparazzi 鈥� brazen and relentless in chasing the famous, particularly Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. But his pictures also came to be admired.
- Work wear reflects how people feel about their jobs and the economy as a whole. So it makes sense that dressing for the office is all over the place.
- Sure, their characters are privileged, but they鈥檙e also dealing with unsteady marriages, ambition, and family.
- Thousands gathered in Chicago to celebrate the beloved sitcom, whose fan base has only expanded since its original run and made the Girls into L.G.B.T.Q. icons.
- The past two years have shown us that we need to open our eyes to the biases built into our homes.
- Mattea Roach is the latest 鈥楯eopardy!鈥� champ to rattle off a long and impressive winning streak. But her success has an unintended side effect: She鈥檚 running out of personal fun facts to share after the first commercial break.
- I guess 1989 is coming?!?!?!??!
