"content": "\u003cp>Let us not rehash the bad feelings around\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/04/01/297675381/oh-mother-an-awful-end-to-a-long-love-story\"> the poorly conceived ending of \u003cem>How I Met Your Mother\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spent happy years watching that show, loved much of what it did with its talented cast, and don’t believe in regretting that time just because the charming premise of its pilot (sometimes the person who seems to be your romantic soulmate is not, but they may still be incredibly special to you) was betrayed by its ending (psych! She actually is his romantic soulmate LOL ha ha). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of that show’s success lay in what you might just call its hangout vibes. Like \u003cem>Living Single \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Friends \u003c/em>and other sitcoms, it put a bunch of people — Ted (Josh Radnor), Robin (Cobie Smulders), Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan), and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) — in a bunch of rooms doing a bunch of weird things, and it watched as they unfolded. At the same time, the comedy of \u003cem>HIMYM \u003c/em>was heightened and a little unreal. It’s not as well-known for its hooky, jokey concepts as something like \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em>, but bits like the slap bet and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYqqFqgOVS0\">Robin’s past as a Canadian teen pop star\u003c/a> always made it feel a little broader than a pure hangout show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, years later, we get \u003cem>How I Met Your Father \u003c/em>on Hulu, which is premiering Jan. 18. The premise is this: an adult Sophie, played by Kim Cattrall, addresses her son to tell him how she met his father. He says he already knows, but she says he doesn’t know the details. From here, we launch into the story of young Sophie, played by Hilary Duff, who in the first episode is living with a roommate and going on Tinder dates and, improbably, instantly gaining entry into a new group of friends after an adventurous night. Critics have been asked not to talk too much about how the story of the father fits into this story, so: fine. Frankly, that asks us not to tell readers how the show is \u003cem>trying \u003c/em>to preempt fears that its ending will be as much of a gotcha as the original \u003cem>HIMYM \u003c/em>ending, which might be counterproductive from the show’s point of view, but: fine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what I will tell you is that the jokes in the two episodes I watched just do not land at all. It’s not for lack of effort, and it’s not for lack of talent in the cast. Hilary Duff can absolutely carry a show like this, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/03/31/396580311/the-ups-and-downs-of-younger-life\">as you know if you watched her on \u003cem>Younger\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. And Chris Lowell, who’s playing one of the guys in her newly formed circle, is one of my very favorite Regular Guy Actors, by which I mean he often brings a little punch and tons of charm to roles that aren’t written with a lot of easy, showy stuff for actors to grab onto. (The role he plays in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/12/26/948993865/promising-young-woman-is-a-dark-comedy-that-will-keep-you-on-your-toes\">\u003cem>Promising Young Woman\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> \u003c/em>almost riffs on this very quality.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13908285\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-800x451.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13908285\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-800x451.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-1020x575.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-768x433.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-2048x1154.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-1920x1082.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cast of ‘How I Met Your Father.’ \u003ccite>(Patrick Wymore/Hulu)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The rest of the cast I don’t know quite as well in comedy — Francia Raisa as Sophie’s roommate; Tom Ainsley, Daniel Augustin, Suraj Sharma (from \u003cem>Life of Pi\u003c/em>!), and Tien Tran all play other people who enter her life in the first episode. But I don’t think it’s them; I think it’s the script not being nearly funny enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on the whole, I think this show isn’t weird enough. Ted Mosby was often insufferable, but he had a kind of quixotic desire for love — a belief in grand gestures and destiny — that made him watchable, even if sometimes through your fingers. Marshall and Lily were a couple of beautifully matched dorks. And Barney was pretty loathsome, but at least he was \u003cem>specific\u003c/em>, with his suit-wearing and his high-fiving and the constant question of why he was friends with any of these people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>How I Met Your Father \u003c/em>is a hangout show that I think is too much like an actual hangout. These people seem very nice. (And it’s definitely a positive thing that it’s not another full complement of straight white characters.) They seem to like each other; they seem to be rootable and pleasant. The actors are absolutely up to the challenge. But … trying to marry this kind of naturalistic, laid-back approach to the high-concept business with the narrator and the “this is how I met your father” and all that? I think it’s not working in these early episodes, at least.

She actually is his romantic soulmate LOL ha ha). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of that show’s success lay in what you might just call its hangout vibes. Like \u003cem>Living Single \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Friends \u003c/em>and other sitcoms, it put a bunch of people — Ted (Josh Radnor), Robin (Cobie Smulders), Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan), and Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) — in a bunch of rooms doing a bunch of weird things, and it watched as they unfolded. At the same time, the comedy of \u003cem>HIMYM \u003c/em>was heightened and a little unreal. It’s not as well-known for its hooky, jokey concepts as something like \u003cem>Seinfeld\u003c/em>, but bits like the slap bet and \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYqqFqgOVS0\">Robin’s past as a Canadian teen pop star\u003c/a> always made it feel a little broader than a pure hangout show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, years later, we get \u003cem>How I Met Your Father \u003c/em>on Hulu, which is premiering Jan. 18. The premise is this: an adult Sophie, played by Kim Cattrall, addresses her son to tell him how she met his father. He says he already knows, but she says he doesn’t know the details. From here, we launch into the story of young Sophie, played by Hilary Duff, who in the first episode is living with a roommate and going on Tinder dates and, improbably, instantly gaining entry into a new group of friends after an adventurous night. Critics have been asked not to talk too much about how the story of the father fits into this story, so: fine. Frankly, that asks us not to tell readers how the show is \u003cem>trying \u003c/em>to preempt fears that its ending will be as much of a gotcha as the original \u003cem>HIMYM \u003c/em>ending, which might be counterproductive from the show’s point of view, but: fine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what I will tell you is that the jokes in the two episodes I watched just do not land at all. It’s not for lack of effort, and it’s not for lack of talent in the cast. Hilary Duff can absolutely carry a show like this, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/03/31/396580311/the-ups-and-downs-of-younger-life\">as you know if you watched her on \u003cem>Younger\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. And Chris Lowell, who’s playing one of the guys in her newly formed circle, is one of my very favorite Regular Guy Actors, by which I mean he often brings a little punch and tons of charm to roles that aren’t written with a lot of easy, showy stuff for actors to grab onto. (The role he plays in \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/12/26/948993865/promising-young-woman-is-a-dark-comedy-that-will-keep-you-on-your-toes\">\u003cem>Promising Young Woman\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> \u003c/em>almost riffs on this very quality.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13908285\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-800x451.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13908285\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-800x451.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-1020x575.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-768x433.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-2048x1154.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/himyf_102_pw_01651rt-1_wide-4aebc6167485c0d51e9b7c6410e847c886c09a08-1920x1082.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The cast of ‘How I Met Your Father.’ \u003ccite>(Patrick Wymore/Hulu)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The rest of the cast I don’t know quite as well in comedy — Francia Raisa as Sophie’s roommate; Tom Ainsley, Daniel Augustin, Suraj Sharma (from \u003cem>Life of Pi\u003c/em>!), and Tien Tran all play other people who enter her life in the first episode.

"content": "\u003cp>The year 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of the death of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/tags/129027212/marilyn-monroe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marilyn Monroe\u003c/a>, one of cinema’s most iconic, examined and enduring sex symbols. To commemorate the occasion, CNN is rolling out the new four-part documentary series, \u003cem>Reframed: Marilyn Monroe,\u003c/em> which takes a very different, and original, approach to its subject.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During her career, and for decades after her death, Marilyn was objectified, scrutinized and judged—mostly by male writers, biographers and historians. The 1973 book, \u003cem>Marilyn: A Biography, \u003c/em>paired a skeevy, sexist essay by Norman Mailer with pictures of the actress taken by photographer Lawrence Schiller.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_20417']Schiller does appear in \u003cem>Reframed\u003c/em>, but here he’s talking about Monroe’s acute awareness of the camera—how she posed, what images she selected and how she used them to enhance and leverage her own celebrity status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But most of the time, the voices we hear in this new documentary are female. Actor \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/01/09/376124743/i-was-a-dramatic-kid-for-jessica-chastain-acting-came-naturally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jessica Chastain\u003c/a> narrates, and an all-women editorial team headed by Sam Starbuck reexamines Marilyn’s movies, marriages and career moves from her point of view. And we hear from women film critics and historians, including the always informative Alicia Malone from Turner Classic Movies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also hear from several women actors. Some younger ones share why they find Marilyn inspirational both on and off the screen. And peers like Joan Collins and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6388248\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ellen Burstyn\u003c/a>, who competed in the same sexist studio system as Marilyn did in the 1950s, reflect on how women were treated in Hollywood back then. It’s a revelatory new take on some familiar ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCX8lddEYlE\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003cem>Reframed: Marilyn Monroe, \u003c/em>we learn how, as a young actress, Marilyn outlived and outmaneuvered the potential career-killing scandal of the emergence of some earlier nude photos. We also see how, as a more mature actress, she again embraced nude photographs—this time as a weapon, to gain media attention and bargaining power.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was at a time when her movie studio, 20th Century Fox, was funneling almost all its money into the \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2011/03/25/134829949/elizabeth-taylors-legacy-aids-activist-movie-star\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elizabeth Taylor\u003c/a> costume drama \u003cem>Cleopatra\u003c/em>. Monroe got the spotlight back on herself—and though she had a long and often combative relationship with the studio and its executives, and had been fired, she ultimately was rehired, given a big raise and awarded the contract terms she had been demanding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We learn a lot more not only about her methods of negotiating, but also her motives. It was not the first time in Marilyn’s life she had fought the studio system and won, but it would be her last. She died in 1962 from an overdose at age 36.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_6656']But her films would survive, and \u003cem>Reframed \u003c/em>sees them with a fresh set of eyes. There’s the sparkle of her small screen appearance in the 1949 Marx Brothers comedy \u003cem>Love Happy\u003c/em>—the brothers’ last film, but Marilyn’s first. There’s the comic confidence of her brilliant work in \u003cem>The Seven Year Itch \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Some Like It Hot,\u003c/em> and the subtlety of her portrayals in such later, dramatic works as \u003cem>Bus Stop \u003c/em>and \u003cem>The Misfits\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marilyn took control of her career whenever and however she could, even starting her own production company to choose her own roles. And she took those roles seriously. Near the end of her life, when a reporter for \u003cem>Life \u003c/em>magazine asks her if it was difficult sometimes for her to crank out her performance, she bristles instantly at the word, saying, “I don’t crank anything.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, there are no plans to make \u003cem>Reframed \u003c/em>an ongoing documentary series, reevaluating the careers and legacies of selected filmmakers and performers. But there ought to be—because \u003cem>Reframed: Marilyn Monroe \u003c/em>is planting its flag on some fresh territory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2022 Fresh Air.

"content": "\u003cp>Dunk, da-dunk, chh. Dunk, da-dunk, chh. NANANANANANA…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was August 1987, and a potential moral panic over suggestive gyrating proved unnecessary when \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em> turned out to be a coming-of-age romance where the dancing was not, in fact, all that dirty. It was, however, about a young single woman having sex she enjoyed (and did not come to regret) with a man who was powerfully hot. As such, while it’s not a dirty movie, it \u003cem>is\u003c/em> a pretty sexy movie—particularly if you were 16 when it came out. Which, as it happens, I was. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It started with a credits sequence in which images of people dancing … well, dirtily? … were accompanied by the unmistakable, indelible, irreplaceable sound of “Be My Baby,” the 1963 classic performed by The Ronettes. They were led by Ronnie Spector, who died Wednesday at 78. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunk, da-dunk, chh. Dunk, da-dunk, chh. NANANANANANA…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A woman throws her head back with an open-mouthed smile; another runs her hand all the way up her own bared leg to her hip. The opening credits roll. Slow motion, blue-tinged black-and-white, and a choppy video effect make the sequence seem more scandalous than it is, more of a stolen moment. The movie is a love story and a musical; this opener is sex. And so: “Be My Baby.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/jSPpbOGnFgk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier that year, in March, broadcast television had aired what it’s fair to call one of its most anticipated and talked-about sex scenes of the 1980s. It was the 14th episode of the third season of \u003cem>Moonlighting\u003c/em>, which starred Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis as Maddie and David, the former cover girl and the hustling fast-talker who ran a detective agency together. The show had held back their pairing as long as it could—fantasy sequences where they kissed, unusual circumstances where they kissed and took it back. TV was very good at giving people what they wanted, but not really, \u003cem>not yet\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the episode “I Am Curious … Maddie” (the title a reference to \u003ca href=\"https://www.criterion.com/films/728-i-am-curious-yellow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a controversial Swedish film\u003c/a>), Maddie has been juggling her interest in David with the presence of Sam, played by Mark Harmon. Sam has proposed. David and Sam wind up in a brawl, with Maddie miserable about being caught in the middle and disappointed in both of them. But after an evening out with the faithful Ms. DiPesto, the office secretary, Maddie returns home, where Sam has been staying with her, prepared to turn his proposal down and … have sex one last time. (Look, it’s Mark Harmon.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one of those sequences that only happen on television, she breaks it off with Sam, which she explains in a dark room to what she assumes is his blanket-covered form, telling him that she does love him, but she also loves David, and she knows that will be the end. She undresses and gets into bed, but of course, it turns out the form in the bed is not Sam—it’s David. She’s irate, she’s embarrassed, and once again, she’s lost control of the situation. David tells her Sam is gone. It’s just the two of them now. The two men have written the ending without her. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so, as they have been doing for nearly three seasons, with him in underwear and her wrapped in a sheet, they fight. “This is ridiculous,” she says, adding, “I’m miserable.” He growls back, “So am I.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes like this, starting with him: “Fine.” “Fine.” “Good.” “Good.” “Bitch.” “Bastard.” And she slaps him. He doesn’t react. “Get out,” she says. He doesn’t move. She slaps him again. “Get out,” she repeats. He doesn’t react. And then, when she raises her arm and goes to slap him a third time, he catches her wrist in his hand. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunk, da-dunk, chh. Dunk, da-dunk, chh. NANANANANANA…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is also “Be My Baby.” And they kiss, and then they sink to the floor. While they make out and grab at each other, he turns over a table (kiiiiind of unnecessarily?) and they keep rolling around on the floor. And then we see them in bed, and in maybe the most surprising shot of the scene, they pull back a little bit and smile at each other. Freeze-frame, credits. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Twice in one year, Ronnie Spector’s voice, in perhaps her best-known song, signaled sex, but not \u003cem>just\u003c/em> sex: desire, particularly the desires of women. “Be My Baby” had also played under the home-movie montage that made up the opening titles of Martin Scorsese’s \u003cem>Mean Streets\u003c/em> in 1973, but in that case seemingly for the nostalgia, for the time period, and perhaps to fit nicely with the shots of an actual infant. But in these two 1987 sequences, its capacity to call out to desire is used, rather than its style and era—which of course are contemporary for the characters in \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>, but which belong to one of the many “oldies” used in \u003cem>Moonlighting\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Be My Baby” starts with that thumping, then it adds that NANANANANA, then Ronnie Spector’s voice—which blares along with the rest of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/21/959057719/the-voices-of-black-women-were-essential-to-phil-spectors-wall-of-sound\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Wall of Sound\u003c/a>—and then, a couple of phrases in, just as she reaches the line “So won’t you say you love me,” there’s this tremendous low sounding of horns, this “WAAAAAH” that signals the build-build-build of any good sex song. And then the crashing of the waves on the shore, the train going into the tunnel, you get the idea. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s no wonder “Be My Baby” was used to introduce both a romantic coming of age and a deeply dysfunctional sexual relationship that would inspire decades of paranoia about whether couples with sexual tension on television should be allowed to actually have sex. (Most of this springs from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2009/09/17/112934505/what-really-happened-to-moonlighting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">historical misapprehension of what actually happened to \u003cem>Moonlighting\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, but a myth is a myth.) It’s a simple but essential song with a tremendous vocal that sounds like nothing else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronnie Spector was still putting out new music when all this happened—the year before, she (and “Be My Baby”) had been integral to the Eddie Money hit “Take Me Home Tonight.” But a legend is a legend not only because of the work she does in the moment, but because of the way her work echoes over decades and shows up over and over again in new ways. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in 1987, when I was 16, my favorite movie and my favorite TV show agreed on what song was the sound of something sexy on the way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunk, da-dunk, chh.

But in these two 1987 sequences, its capacity to call out to desire is used, rather than its style and era—which of course are contemporary for the characters in \u003cem>Dirty Dancing\u003c/em>, but which belong to one of the many “oldies” used in \u003cem>Moonlighting\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Be My Baby” starts with that thumping, then it adds that NANANANANA, then Ronnie Spector’s voice—which blares along with the rest of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2021/01/21/959057719/the-voices-of-black-women-were-essential-to-phil-spectors-wall-of-sound\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Wall of Sound\u003c/a>—and then, a couple of phrases in, just as she reaches the line “So won’t you say you love me,” there’s this tremendous low sounding of horns, this “WAAAAAH” that signals the build-build-build of any good sex song. And then the crashing of the waves on the shore, the train going into the tunnel, you get the idea. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s no wonder “Be My Baby” was used to introduce both a romantic coming of age and a deeply dysfunctional sexual relationship that would inspire decades of paranoia about whether couples with sexual tension on television should be allowed to actually have sex. (Most of this springs from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2009/09/17/112934505/what-really-happened-to-moonlighting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">historical misapprehension of what actually happened to \u003cem>Moonlighting\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, but a myth is a myth.) It’s a simple but essential song with a tremendous vocal that sounds like nothing else. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ronnie Spector was still putting out new music when all this happened—the year before, she (and “Be My Baby”) had been integral to the Eddie Money hit “Take Me Home Tonight.” But a legend is a legend not only because of the work she does in the moment, but because of the way her work echoes over decades and shows up over and over again in new ways. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in 1987, when I was 16, my favorite movie and my favorite TV show agreed on what song was the sound of something sexy on the way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunk, da-dunk, chh. Dunk, da-dunk, chh. NANANANANANA… \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Near the end of the hearing after Berman’s loved ones told the judge how her death upended their lives, Durst coughed hard and then appeared to struggle to breathe.

Though star Zendaya gets most of the attention playing Rue Bennett, a teen struggling with substance use disorder, the second season’s episodes are truly an ensemble affair—opening with the harrowing backstory of Rue’s drug dealing friend, Fezco, played by a laconic Angus Cloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An explosive series of flashbacks announces the start of the second season, depicting how Fezco’s grandmother, a ruthless drug dealer herself, took over raising him after shooting his father in the hips at the back of a seedy strip club. (Yes, the guy’s, um, \u003cem>excited\u003c/em> private parts were shown; another way \u003cem>Euphoria\u003c/em> shakes up expectations is by showing male nudity in ways even other explicit series do not.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_95643']Much of this episode feels inspired by director Martin Scorsese’s style in crime epics like \u003cem>Goodfellas—\u003c/em>perhaps because of the liberal use of classic rock hits, sweeping camera angles, quick cuts, gangster activities or the appearance of \u003cem>Sopranos\u003c/em> co-star Kathrine Narducci as Fezco’s hardcore, gun-toting grandmother.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as the ginger-haired drug dealer’s story reaches the modern day—and we see Fezco negotiating a tense drug deal with suppliers who demand he and his friends strip naked to prove they aren’t informants—Levinson’s ability to make audiences feel what the characters are experiencing is masterful and discomfiting, all at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The characters bring a tangle of storylines to the second season. Rue is trying desperately to convince most of her family and friends that she is sober, though she most certainly isn’t. Chief among those she’s lying to is young, transgender girl Jules Vaughn (played by Hunter Schafer); the two had planned to run away together at the end of last season until Rue balked. In the second season, they are trying to build a romantic relationship, but Rue’s barely-hidden addictions are an unspoken impediment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13907941\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13907941 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-800x600.jpe\" alt=\"A girl with sharp facial features, blonde hair framing her face, leans forward with her chin resting on her hand, jaw clenched.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-800x600.jpe 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-1020x765.jpe 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-160x120.jpe 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-768x576.jpe 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80.jpe 1439w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hunter Schafer plays Jules on HBO’s ‘Euphoria.’ \u003ccite>(HBO)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Jacob Elordi’s toxic football star Nate is caught between on-again, off-again girlfriend Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie) and troubled blonde knockout Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney).

Rue is trying desperately to convince most of her family and friends that she is sober, though she most certainly isn’t. Chief among those she’s lying to is young, transgender girl Jules Vaughn (played by Hunter Schafer); the two had planned to run away together at the end of last season until Rue balked. In the second season, they are trying to build a romantic relationship, but Rue’s barely-hidden addictions are an unspoken impediment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13907941\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13907941 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-800x600.jpe\" alt=\"A girl with sharp facial features, blonde hair framing her face, leans forward with her chin resting on her hand, jaw clenched.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-800x600.jpe 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-1020x765.jpe 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-160x120.jpe 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80-768x576.jpe 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/euphoria-jules-2f627f4a809df1317ded5cbaf62ed3fa5f28fc80.jpe 1439w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hunter Schafer plays Jules on HBO’s ‘Euphoria.’ \u003ccite>(HBO)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Jacob Elordi’s toxic football star Nate is caught between on-again, off-again girlfriend Maddy Perez (Alexa Demie) and troubled blonde knockout Cassie Howard (Sydney Sweeney).

And when the magic evaporated, well, all those rich people were \u003cem>furious\u003c/em>. If you take this comparison to its logical conclusion, here’s the question: Was Elizabeth Holmes the seller, or was she, in fact, the beans? Did she make the shiny object, or was she herself the shiny object?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have thus far avoided Theranos Fever, some basics: Holmes was a young Stanford dropout who wanted to be the Steve Jobs of biotech. (When she was still in college, she had this idea that you could put a patch on your arm that would detect your medical problem \u003cem>and \u003c/em>administer your medications through your skin. When I try to envision this, it’s always on George Jetson.) She carried her Jobs-iness through her adoption of a black-turtleneck uniform, her hiring of people who came from Apple, and her apparent conviction that a slick-looking interface was the lever you pulled to make money come out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, she began to follow her dream of making a machine that could run hundreds of medical tests on a couple of drops of blood from pricking your finger. She raised a fortune from investors, got on the \u003ca href=\"https://fortune.com/2014/06/12/theranos-blood-holmes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cover of \u003cem>Fortune\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, hobnobbed with political and financial mucky-mucks of many stripes, was hailed as the rare woman to break through the very male world of Silicon Valley startup founders, and then \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2022/01/03/1063973490/elizabeth-holmes-trial-verdict-guilty-theranos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">saw it all go to pieces\u003c/a> when it turned out that the machines didn’t work the way she hoped and she, according to the charges on which she was just convicted, didn’t tell her investors the truth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtDaP18OGfw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elizabeth Holmes belongs to a robust cohort of startup founders who have seen their reputations tank.

But there’s something about the brazenness with which she operated that makes her mesmerizing to me. You can keep your high-level financial maneuvers and your sophisticated document manipulations: according to Carreyrou’s reporting and some of the \u003ca href=\"https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/10/theranos-devices-ran-demo-apps-that-blocked-error-messages-during-investor-pitches/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">trial testimony\u003c/a>, Theranos got around demands for demonstrations of its machines with painfully obvious dodges—moves about as complicated as making beeping noises with your mouth to make a toddler think you’re a robot.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Self-made, indeed\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>I keep asking myself: How did \u003cem>any \u003c/em>of this work?

How did she have two former Secretaries of State on her board (Henry Kissinger and George Schultz), both over 90 years old, and wiggle around the doubts about her motives that one would think decades of experience in diplomacy would instill? How did a company like Walgreens, which undoubtedly wouldn’t change the length of the tail on the “W” logo without being certain that they understood every last possible consequence, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/10/13/theranos-walgreens-holmes/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">spend $140 million\u003c/a> on a doomed deal with Theranos?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe it was her capacity for invention after all—not invention of the machine, but invention of herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='science_1978159']Consider this: Elizabeth Holmes was touted at one point as the \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/profile/elizabeth-holmes/?sh=3ceea43147a7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">youngest-ever woman self-made billionaire\u003c/a>, but \u003cem>Forbes\u003c/em> revised her net worth from billions to zero in a single year.

Imagine I offered you a one percent interest in my unicorn horn, which you have not seen yet, for $10,000. And imagine you believed me. You paid me the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the one hand, I only have $10,000.

Plenty of people before me have spent considerable time since Holmes came to power analyzing the complicated gender dynamics around her rise and fall. We know sexism is rampant in tech, in Silicon Valley, in press coverage, in everything. No one gets the chance to opt out of all relevant context. She’s sometimes argued that the treatment of her has been sexist compared to the treatment of other similarly sketchy startup founders, and it probably has been at times. Why wouldn’t it be? How couldn’t it be?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='news_11900856']But the gender dynamics in the Theranos story pull in multiple directions. Skepticism—lack of faith in one’s work and ability—can be the result of bias. But maybe in this case, the many powerful men pulled into her orbit as investors or board members or public allies—or, in some cases, credulous journalists—were \u003cem>less \u003c/em>skeptical of her than they might have been if she weren’t a young woman. Maybe they just didn’t have their antennae up. When you see the way men like George Schultz acted around her, it doesn’t seem patronizing as much as just \u003cem>paternal\u003c/em>. Introducing her in 2015, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB5_68CIt_k&ab_channel=StanfordInstituteforEconomicPolicyResearch%28SIEPR%29\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schultz said\u003c/a> his first thought when he met her was that she seemed like a friend of his granddaughter’s. He claimed that he quickly realized he’d underestimated her, and he began to rave about her accomplishments. But did he \u003cem>really\u003c/em> understand the ways he’d underestimated her?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What if the most important sexist misapprehension of Elizabeth Holmes was that some of her backers believed young women to be less driven, less capable, and therefore less dangerous to take at their word than young men? What if they underestimated not just her abilities, but also her ruthlessness? What if she keenly understood sexism and used it to her advantage? And what if, given the way Silicon Valley works, the way tech works, the way big money works, a woman less willing to exploit sexism would not have stood a chance?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa Friedman \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/17/style/elizabeth-holmes-trial-makeover.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote in the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> recently about Holmes’ image makeover before and at her trial. She described it as a transformation “from black-clad genius to besuited milquetoast.” Whatever the purpose of that change was, it’s hard to deny that the Elizabeth Holmes of her trial was a very different one from the Elizabeth you will see in any footage that was taken during the highest highs of her publicity swings. As the aforementioned Theranos enthusiast I am, I almost didn’t recognize her the first time I saw her during her trial. Different hair, different makeup, different clothes, different bearing, the abandonment of \u003cem>every \u003c/em>element of her Theranos-era style. (Except, of course, her deep voice, which I have considered mostly a distraction—if she artificially started speaking in a lower voice at some point because people didn’t take her seriously, that’s a modest and understandable manipulation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13907781\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13907781\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elizabeth Holmes (2nd L) walks with her partner Billy Evans (L), her mother Noel Holmes and a lawyer as they leave the Robert F.

When I try to envision this, it’s always on George Jetson.)

Skepticism—lack of faith in one’s work and ability—can be the result of bias.

Maybe they just didn’t have their antennae up. When you see the way men like George Schultz acted around her, it doesn’t seem patronizing as much as just \u003cem>paternal\u003c/em>.

What if they underestimated not just her abilities, but also her ruthlessness? What if she keenly understood sexism and used it to her advantage? And what if, given the way Silicon Valley works, the way tech works, the way big money works, a woman less willing to exploit sexism would not have stood a chance?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vanessa Friedman \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/17/style/elizabeth-holmes-trial-makeover.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote in the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>\u003c/a> recently about Holmes’ image makeover before and at her trial. She described it as a transformation “from black-clad genius to besuited milquetoast.” Whatever the purpose of that change was, it’s hard to deny that the Elizabeth Holmes of her trial was a very different one from the Elizabeth you will see in any footage that was taken during the highest highs of her publicity swings. As the aforementioned Theranos enthusiast I am, I almost didn’t recognize her the first time I saw her during her trial. Different hair, different makeup, different clothes, different bearing, the abandonment of \u003cem>every \u003c/em>element of her Theranos-era style. (Except, of course, her deep voice, which I have considered mostly a distraction—if she artificially started speaking in a lower voice at some point because people didn’t take her seriously, that’s a modest and understandable manipulation.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13907781\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13907781\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/01/GettyImages-1237525059-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elizabeth Holmes (2nd L) walks with her partner Billy Evans (L), her mother Noel Holmes and a lawyer as they leave the Robert F.
