Florence Pugh has released her first performances as a singer-songwriter, which are included on the soundtrack to her new film A Good Person. The British actor has written and performed two songs: the slow ambient ballad The Best Part, and the self-lacerating piano-driven number I Hate Myself. Each are presented in the film as being sung by her character, Allison, a promising musician whose career is set back by personal tragedy.

The third season of the alt-history series reinforces that ‘For All Mankind’ is not just an entertaining drama, but a truly great one, and an unlikely contender as the crowning achievement of Apple TV+.

From The New Yorker’s archive: a selection of pieces about notable shows and how they have helped transform our culture.

Friday’s C.W. Longbottom–centric episode is a spiritual successor to last season’s excellent ‘A Dark Quiet Death.’ But don’t call either of them "departures" for the daring young series.

From the ‘Imagine’ video onwards, the famous have been treated with ridicule and anger during these fraught times – but is this really the end of a love affair, asks Rachael Sigee.

In Ask Culture it's OK to ask for anything at all, but you gotta realize you might get no for an answer. In Guess Culture, you avoid putting a request into words unless you're pretty sure the answer will be yes.

It’s been almost three decades since “The Simpsons” changed from a rough collection of clips to the lunkheaded family everyone knows. “The Simpsons” started as short cartoons, but when they got their own series in 1989, a historically popular program was born.

Nuclear fission is Prometheus’s fire, updated and amplified for modernity. Under specific conditions, it’s a revolutionary source of power; out of control, it’s deadly and devastating. The first practical use of nuclear energy was as a weapon, designed for the express purpose of killing tens of thousands with the push of a button, and that legacy has enraptured humanity’s collective imagination ever since. Atomic power could save human civilization or destroy it, perhaps even accidentally, and we’ve lived under that threat for 75 years now.

A scathing takedown can be cathartic, thrill-inducing, or necessary—sometimes all at once. But with the collapse of monoculture and the rise of social media, the critiquing game has changed. Have reviews gotten harsher? Softer? Writers from Pitchfork, The New York Times, and others reflect.

Industry analyst Doug Creutz says Grand Theft Auto 5 has made money than any other form of media in history, with over 90 million units sold and $6 billion in revenue. Creutz, managing director and senior research analyst covering the media and entertainment sector at Cowen, told MarketWatch that the game has made more than blockbuster movies like Star Wars, and Gone With The Wind, which both brought in around $3 billion in theaters when adjusted for inflation. Creutz estimates that even with home entertainment sales, which he puts in the ballpark of $1 billion, the films don't come close to Rockstar's 2013 title.

There are many elements of Australian culture that I truly value and they are often found in our sense of humour. Whether it is the irreverence, the irony, the larrikinism, or hyper-realistic mockery of cliché’s and stereotypes in Baz Luhrmann’s films, these comedic tools capture aspects of our culture that I truly hope we never lose.

In 2002’s Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the first record you hear on a car radio is Billie Jean, no matter what you drive. Unseen code binds this piece of music to an important point in time and the experience of being behind the wheel. When I first got my driving licence, I recreated the moment in my crappy Vauxhall Astra, so strong was the association. In video games such as GTA, as in real life, music and memories are closely interlinked.

The Compound Gallery was founded by Set Free Richardson, and he's making it happen in partnership with Yasiin Bey (fka Mos Def). The first exhibition will feature the iconic work of photographer Jonathan Mannion.

Hiro Murai is having a moment. We’re nearing the halfway point of 2018 and you could make the case that the Tokyo-born director is the filmmaker of the year, and he hasn’t even made a feature. Between several exceptional episodes of Atlanta—including the haunting, beguiling “Teddy Perkins”—a couple of solid outings orchestrating the increasingly violent action on Barry, and the starkly confrontational video for Childish Gambino’s new single...

Originally known as Baby Rose Marie, she became a star as a toddler and again on one of television’s most beloved comedies, “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”

Eminem’s ninth studio album, Revival, made its long-awaited debut last week and, while it certainly made a splash and dominated the headlines, the response it received was largely mixed. Revival features appearances from the likes of Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Kehlani, and X Ambassadors. But such star power was not enough to shield it from some harsh reviews.

Instant ramen titan Nissin is releasing a limited-edition fork that can detect the sound of noodle slurping and trigger a nearby smartphone to play a recording to mask the food noises. This little device costs around $130, and the Cup Noodle maker is only manufacturing 5,000 of them.

Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon has blasted his show’s sexist fans in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, calling their behavior “disgusting.” It seems a number of the animated comedy’s biggest fans are fragile of masculinity: Incensed by the show's recent decision to employ a gender-balanced writing team, these trolls have taken it upon themselves to harass, threaten, and dox its female writers for daring to encroach upon their white-male-nerd territory.
