"headTitle": "‘Run,’ Do Not Walk: HBO’s New Smart, Spiky, Sexy Comedy/Thriller | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>The premise is big, bold, even broad: When they broke up in college, fifteen years ago, Ruby (Merritt Wever) and Billy (Domhnall Gleeson) promised each other that if either one of them ever texted the word “RUN” to the other … \u003cem>and \u003c/em>the other texted it back, they would drop everything and meet in Grand Central Station, hop on a cross-country train, and see what happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>See? Big idea. High concept. Great elevator pitch. Sold in the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The execution, as it’s carried out by Wever, Gleeson and showrunner Vicky Jones, is smartly, bracingly small. Grounded. Precise. Detailed. Real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That contrast is why HBO’s \u003cem>Run \u003c/em>is the best new show of 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The notion of running away from your commitments to hook up with an ex is, after all, quite literally an escapist fantasy. It seems like it to us, and it seems like it to Ruby and Billy. The fun of the opening few minutes of the seven-episode series (five of which have been screened for press) is the thrill of chasing an impulse. They’re having a ball, and so are we.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But impulsive actions bring a kind of joy that’s bound up with disorder. Chaos isn’t a by-product, it’s part of the appeal. \u003cem>Run \u003c/em>knows that—and it knows that when Ruby and Billy do see each other again, they will each come to that encounter with the conviction that the past fifteen years of their real lives never happened, that they can pick up where they left off, that they can be the selves they were 15 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They can’t, of course, and the many tiny ways this begins to dawn on them—we watch it happening in the tilt of Wever’s head, in the way Gleeson’s eyes jitter in his face—makes for a kind of ruefully knowing comedy. We can see how much they’ve idealized this reunion over the years, which makes every moment they actually spend together sexy, and dangerous—and fragile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9gnW8TAP2U\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Again and again, their idyll threatens to shatter—a bit of flirty banter goes awry, or a wave of guilt crashes over one or the other, or a muttered aside inflicts a deep wound. But they keep coming back, and before too long the pressures that endanger their time together shift from internal to external. This transition happens a few episodes in, when the series slides from rom-com to thriller… um …-com.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creator Vicky Jones, who directed the original stage version of \u003cem>Fleabag\u003c/em>, plays with time in a smart, revealing way.

It seems like it to us, and it seems like it to Ruby and Billy. The fun of the opening few minutes of the seven-episode series (five of which have been screened for press) is the thrill of chasing an impulse.

"headTitle": "Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum are Together Again in ‘Making the Cut’ | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>When Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum left \u003cem>Project Runway\u003c/em>, it wasn’t clear whether it could survive without them, or whether they could succeed on a different show. We know the answer to the first question, at least creatively: The new incarnation of \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>, starring Christian Siriano and Karlie Kloss, is better than most of us expected, and Siriano in particular has carved out a very different mentor role than Gunn’s that’s satisfying in new ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve now arrived at the other half of the question: Can Tim and Heidi make a show that’s not \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>? The first episodes of \u003cem>Making The Cut \u003c/em>are streaming now on Amazon Prime Video, and the verdict is … maybe?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a couple of things that are very different right off the top if you’re comparing the new show with the old. Where \u003cem>Runway \u003c/em>had a kind of chirpy relentlessness, \u003cem>Making The Cut \u003c/em>is going for more of a chill and glamorous vibe, still a competition, but with the vibe of a high-end travel show. That’s not only true because of the locations (New York and Paris, to start). It’s true because the whole show has a kind of Instagram-influencer vibe, with a constant hum of forgettable music that sounds like it comes from an ad for yoga pants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also some format differences that seem likely to have originated with the specific hope to set the show apart from \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>; most notably, it doesn’t always eliminate one person per week. It can be more. It could be nobody. This can help a little bit with the problem that comes up on a lot of judged competitions where somebody is constantly second-worst but never quite worst. Here, such a person would probably eventually be bounced, even if they didn’t do the worst job in that challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y41irC4jq30\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judging panel (which includes Naomi Campbell and Nicole Richie) also follows a muddled format where they’ll call up each designer to explain what they’ve made, and then there’s a moment—sometimes this is hard to follow—where Heidi asks whether any of the judges have “changed their minds” from the way they’d been planning to vote. It seems like you’re supposed to feel like the panel discussion is higher stakes, because the designers have a chance to save themselves. But that seems to be true on \u003cem>Runway \u003c/em>too, which means they’ve just sort of complicated what should be simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best of the changes that \u003cem>Making The Cut \u003c/em>has instituted is that the contestants have help from seamstresses, who sneak in at night like shoemaker’s elves and do some of the basic sewing. That means it’s less likely—not impossible, but less likely—that the designers will be judged on whether they can physically construct a dress in a very short time. There aren’t as many unfinished hems or terrible seams, and that means the focus is more on the actual design. (This is also the case over on Netflix’s \u003cem>Next In Fashion\u003c/em>.) Similarly, the challenges are far looser and more thematic, rather than weird stunts like “design new outfits for the servers at Susan Sarandon’s ping-pong club.” (An actual \u003cem>Project Runway \u003c/em>challenge.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst of the changes is that Amazon looms over the show, not only as the streamer showing it, but as a seller of goods.

We know the answer to the first question, at least creatively: The new incarnation of \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>, starring Christian Siriano and Karlie Kloss, is better than most of us expected, and Siriano in particular has carved out a very different mentor role than Gunn’s that’s satisfying in new ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve now arrived at the other half of the question: Can Tim and Heidi make a show that’s not \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>? The first episodes of \u003cem>Making The Cut \u003c/em>are streaming now on Amazon Prime Video, and the verdict is … maybe?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a couple of things that are very different right off the top if you’re comparing the new show with the old. Where \u003cem>Runway \u003c/em>had a kind of chirpy relentlessness, \u003cem>Making The Cut \u003c/em>is going for more of a chill and glamorous vibe, still a competition, but with the vibe of a high-end travel show. That’s not only true because of the locations (New York and Paris, to start). It’s true because the whole show has a kind of Instagram-influencer vibe, with a constant hum of forgettable music that sounds like it comes from an ad for yoga pants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also some format differences that seem likely to have originated with the specific hope to set the show apart from \u003cem>Runway\u003c/em>; most notably, it doesn’t always eliminate one person per week. It can be more. It could be nobody. This can help a little bit with the problem that comes up on a lot of judged competitions where somebody is constantly second-worst but never quite worst. Here, such a person would probably eventually be bounced, even if they didn’t do the worst job in that challenge.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Y41irC4jq30'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Y41irC4jq30'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It seems like you’re supposed to feel like the panel discussion is higher stakes, because the designers have a chance to save themselves. But that seems to be true on \u003cem>Runway \u003c/em>too, which means they’ve just sort of complicated what should be simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best of the changes that \u003cem>Making The Cut \u003c/em>has instituted is that the contestants have help from seamstresses, who sneak in at night like shoemaker’s elves and do some of the basic sewing. That means it’s less likely—not impossible, but less likely—that the designers will be judged on whether they can physically construct a dress in a very short time. There aren’t as many unfinished hems or terrible seams, and that means the focus is more on the actual design. (This is also the case over on Netflix’s \u003cem>Next In Fashion\u003c/em>.) Similarly, the challenges are far looser and more thematic, rather than weird stunts like “design new outfits for the servers at Susan Sarandon’s ping-pong club.” (An actual \u003cem>Project Runway \u003c/em>challenge.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst of the changes is that Amazon looms over the show, not only as the streamer showing it, but as a seller of goods. The opportunity to sell your clothes on Amazon is dangled as part of the prize, and from time to time, the designers are reminded—and they remind the audience—how meaningful that is. It’s only fair to note that \u003cem>Runway \u003c/em>itself has a history with product placement that borders on parody; that is a show that once forced people to design clothes based on Yoplait frozen yogurt flavors.

He’s also from East Oakland, and grew up watching Soul Beat TV on Channel 37.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Soul Beat in Oakland was everything,” Showbiz says, over the phone. “It was (one of) the first black-owned television network(s)… Before BET. Before TV One. There was Soul Beat. And it was started by\u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2004/07/28/soul-beat-owner-chuck-johnson-dies/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Chuck Johnson\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chuck Johnson was a former Marine who spent some time in Hollywood, where he worked on movies like \u003cem>Dolemite\u003c/em> before coming to Oakland and starting Soul Beat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the production was sometimes low quality, the network’s appeal was immediate in making something for the people, by the people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was black faces that you saw. It was black businesses that you saw,” says Showbiz. “The beauty was all about the Soul Beat commercials.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySQmXtwz-AI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/tv/B-Hkv4pg0Ew/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">corny car commercial\u003c/a> where everyone waves on cue. The commercial for Harputs, an urban \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajCwxC3s2Nc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clothing store in San Francisco\u003c/a> that has since pivoted to more \u003ca href=\"https://thecollection.sbe.com/creators/gus-robin-harputs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upscale fashion\u003c/a> .

"content": "\u003cp>I remember, I was sitting on the floor of my friend’s bedroom, staring up at his tiny silver box of a TV. It was 2003, and I was in the second grade. He was playing a game—piloting a cute little character through a bubbly, dreamy cartoon town filled with randomly selected animal villagers, flowers and fruit trees (that occasionally yielded money bags). That was my first encounter with Nintendo’s \u003cem>Animal Crossing. \u003c/em>I went home and begged my parents for the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might seem like a strange time to be talking about video games. But right now, a lot of us are stuck indoors, scared and uncertain about the future. A lot of our normal coping mechanisms are cut off—but video games can bring us joy, escape, and connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And very few games are as well-equipped for joy, escape and connection as \u003cem>Animal Crossing\u003c/em>—the latest edition of which, \u003cem>New Horizons\u003c/em>, is out this month. Like every \u003cem>AC\u003c/em> game, it starts you off as the sole human in a community of extremely cute animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have no money or possessions, only a tent and some camping supplies that you get from the game’s eternal entrepreneur Tom Nook—along with a debt to pay off. The main goal of the game, if there is one, is to fully upgrade your house and pay off your debt for each upgrade—but how you get there is up to you. You can catch fish and bugs to sell, dig fossils, make friends with the local animals, unlock new characters and features—or just wander around enjoying the scenery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That part of \u003cem>Animal Crossing \u003c/em>has never changed. Back in second grade, I spent endless hours playing; my little town was a way to calm down and escape to another reality, a place to go when I felt alone and needed a mood boost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that still applies today, no matter how dark reality gets. I’m in the at-risk group for COVID-19 because of my bad asthma. As a precaution, I haven’t been going outside my apartment at all. But playing \u003cem>New Horizons\u003c/em> this weekend was the first time in months that I didn’t think about the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3YNL0OWio0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a particularly tough day in the land of self isolation, I opened the game for the first time.

It was 2003, and I was in the second grade. He was playing a game—piloting a cute little character through a bubbly, dreamy cartoon town filled with randomly selected animal villagers, flowers and fruit trees (that occasionally yielded money bags). That was my first encounter with Nintendo’s \u003cem>Animal Crossing. \u003c/em>I went home and begged my parents for the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It might seem like a strange time to be talking about video games. But right now, a lot of us are stuck indoors, scared and uncertain about the future. A lot of our normal coping mechanisms are cut off—but video games can bring us joy, escape, and connection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And very few games are as well-equipped for joy, escape and connection as \u003cem>Animal Crossing\u003c/em>—the latest edition of which, \u003cem>New Horizons\u003c/em>, is out this month. Like every \u003cem>AC\u003c/em> game, it starts you off as the sole human in a community of extremely cute animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You have no money or possessions, only a tent and some camping supplies that you get from the game’s eternal entrepreneur Tom Nook—along with a debt to pay off. The main goal of the game, if there is one, is to fully upgrade your house and pay off your debt for each upgrade—but how you get there is up to you. You can catch fish and bugs to sell, dig fossils, make friends with the local animals, unlock new characters and features—or just wander around enjoying the scenery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That part of \u003cem>Animal Crossing \u003c/em>has never changed. Back in second grade, I spent endless hours playing; my little town was a way to calm down and escape to another reality, a place to go when I felt alone and needed a mood boost.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
