"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Old stuff spoiler alert: This piece discusses the plot of Jordan Peele's \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Get Out\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong> and the plots of a handful of old \u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Twilight Zone \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003cstrong>episodes, but doesn't spoil episodes from the new run that debuts Monday.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is the scariest thing you can imagine?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Twilight Zone\u003c/em> ran from 1959 to 1964. It was adapted into a film in 1983, then revived on television for brief runs in 1985 and 2002. Now, it returns on the CBS streaming service CBS All Access, hosted and executive produced by the man who may be America's most exciting filmmaker, Jordan Peele. He developed the new version alongside a team of executive producers including Simon Kinberg and Glen Morgan (Morgan was one of the primary writers behind \u003cem>The X-Files\u003c/em>). Peele, in his films \u003cem>Get Out \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>, has spent a lot of time thinking about one of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone\u003c/em>'s central questions, going back to original creator and host Rod Serling: \u003cem>What is the scariest thing you can imagine?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NORi4YjsGI4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's true that Serling's show was always connected, both in text and in subtext, to events of the moment. The fear of nuclear annihilation was ever-present in characters who built shelters and feared missiles. Allegories connected to the civil rights movement and other efforts to escape systemic injustices were common. Space travel was everywhere, both as opportunity and threat. The human legacy of endless war hung over the world always. Not-fully-trusted technology, like robots and large airplanes, held dangers, while technology that felt as though it might arrive soon, like time travel, perhaps held even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the show touched politics, it was animated by something more timeless. The tell is in the the very first episode in 1959, called \"Where Is Everybody?\" In it, a soldier wakes up in a town where there are no people, only mannequins. In the end, it turns out that in reality, he is an astronaut inside an isolation booth being tested for his fitness to go to the moon alone, and that the empty town is a simulation inside his mind. His bosses are seeing how long it takes for him to go mad without companionship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the fear on which much of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone \u003c/em>is founded: fear of isolation. Fear that the community, the whole, will be lost even if the individual is saved. Serling often makes the argument that the scariest thing you can imagine, whatever you think it is, is finding yourself asking, \"Where is everybody?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110657\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/Picture-38-800x500.png\" alt='\"Where Is Everybody?\"' width=\"800\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/Picture-38-800x500.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/Picture-38-160x100.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/Picture-38-768x480.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/Picture-38-1020x638.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/Picture-38-1200x750.png 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/Picture-38.png 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\"Where Is Everybody?\" \u003ccite>('The Twilight Zone' 1959)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Consider an episode like \u003cem>The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street\u003c/em>, a Serling-written classic in which a community becomes convinced it's the target of an alien invasion. Neighbors turn on neighbors, chaos ensues, and the neighborhood destroys itself. It turns out that this is precisely what the aliens who are invading expect: Frighten people and they will attack each other so fiercely that you won't have to attack them. Of course, this is a story about xenophobia, about nationalism—even about responding to terrorism. But it is also a story about how sudden insecurity makes selfishness surge, such that any sense of community is sacrificed. Bonds are broken. And that, ironically, makes the worst fears of the individual come true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some stories that don't actually involve real danger at all have a similar structure. In \"The Shelter,\" a man's neighbors are determined to break into his underground shelter under threat of alien attack. Not only do they ultimately smash their way in even as he insists that he has no room and no air, but as they bicker over which of them should be allowed in if they don't all fit, they reveal their vicious thoughts about each other. A man spews vile insults at his immigrant neighbor because it turns out his neighborliness ran only as deep as his sense of safety. When it turns out there is no attack, the neighbors realize that they have destroyed their community simply because they \u003cem>sensed \u003c/em>a danger. Again, individuals scramble to get to safety at the expense of the community, and they suffer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \"A Kind Of Stopwatch,\" a mysterious stranger gives a man a stopwatch that stops time. He initially plays around with it, making people freeze in place. But then he exploits it to steal, and during a bank robbery, while time is stopped and he is happily wheeling a cart of cash out the door, he drops the watch, and he cannot restart time. He has achieved his self-interest and has made himself rich, but he is faced with limitless isolation.

And when he finally achieves that goal (nuclear bombs allowed the original \u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em> many opportunities to effectively end the world), he breaks his glasses. It turns out he cannot have his ideal life in isolation. Sure, it's partly just a darkly funny \"gotcha\" story about the painful moment when he loses his dreamed-of reading time, but remember: If he still had a community, he could replace the glasses. This, too, is a cost of being alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serling's show also valued connection every time he returned to the fear of not being believed. Characters saw things others didn't, knew things others didn't, and lived in realities that other people dismissed as imagination or even illness. The much-imitated \"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet\" features a young William Shatner as a man named Wilson with a fear of flying who can see a monster on the wing of the plane in which he's a passenger. What terrifies him is not just the monster; it's that no one else can see it. He has lost the sense that he shares a reality with the people around him. And as a final grace note, as Wilson is being wheeled out on a stretcher, presumed by medics to have hallucinated the entire attack (when in fact he saved the plane from it), Serling gives his final bit of narration. It clarifies that Wilson will soon be vindicated. There is evidence of the monster in the bent metal of the wing, and Wilson will not remain alone in his reality for much longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This brings us back to Jordan Peele.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peele's first two films suggest something fascinating in the context of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone.\u003c/em> What Maple Street might have considered its treasured community is as much a threat as an asset. The accepting, conspiring community of rich white people in \u003cem>Get Out\u003c/em>, who might as well live on Maple Street, is the danger. To believe their benevolence—to fully accept their assertions of progressivism—would have killed Chris, the film's hero. And without revealing too much about \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>, it also tells a story about how what looks functional and decent on the surface can be hiding a multitude of sins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris has some of that Wilson-on-the-plane sense that he is seeing things that other people perhaps can't, or wouldn't—that nobody would believe him about what's really happening. He even wonders if he's imagining it, much as Wilson does, given his recent hospitalization and fear of flying. One difference between Chris and Wilson, though, is that Chris' life has made him ready for it. Chris is ready to find himself in a situation that's not right, from the minute he agrees to visit the house of his white girlfriend's family. This skepticism about the community with power over him ultimately saves his life. Chris has his \u003cem>own \u003c/em>community, represented most vigorously by his friend Rod. But he is \u003cem>at risk\u003c/em> from, not \u003cem>protected by\u003c/em>, the common morality of the neighborhood where danger finds him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So seeing Peele as a driving force behind a new \u003cem>Twilight Zone \u003c/em>sets an expectation that while it will carry some of the original's lessons, it will carry new ones as well. He works very specifically in the thematic presence of white supremacy—and by extension in the understanding that whether the individual will be protected by, and enriched by, the presence of the whole depends on who the individual is. To operate as a positive force, the whole must be not only intact, but it must be moral. And indeed, the first four episodes that have been shared with critics, while they feel like they have varying levels of \"\u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em>-ness,\" demonstrate that this group of writers is interested in different base fears and different base flaws. It is deeply curious about what is moral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110654\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-800x533.jpg\" alt='Adam Scott in \"Nightmare At 30,000 Feet.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U.jpg 1484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam Scott in \"Nightmare At 30,000 Feet.\" \u003ccite>('The Twilight Zone'/CBS All Access)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The first two episodes released Monday are called \"Nightmare at 30,000 Feet\" and \"The Comedian.\" \"Nightmare\" is not quite a remake of the Shatner episode (which was already remade in the 1983 film with John Lithgow); it's more of a riff on it. The episode stars Adam Scott in a story that has some similar touchstones regarding perceived danger, group dynamics, and what happens when you're not believed. \"The Comedian,\" meanwhile, is the episode that feels the most, out of these four, like old \u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em>, despite the fact that it runs almost an hour and most \u003cem>Twilight Zone \u003c/em>episodes were a half-hour. It stars Kumail Nanjiani as a stand-up comedian who winds up in one of those odd, Serling-ish moments in which power proves to be awesome, in all the meanings of that word. (Disclosure: Nanjiani has been on \u003cem>Pop Culture Happy Hour\u003c/em>, and we know each other a bit.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two more episodes coming that critics have seen, and they are about base fears of very different kinds. One is very specifically timely; one is more generally so. But all four of these episodes are marked by strong central performances: Nanjiani and Scott, plus Sanaa Lathan in the third episode and Steven Yeun in the fourth. The story in Yeun's episode leaves a little to be desired—and the same is true in Scott's, even—but the imagery and the acting are spot-on. (Interestingly, this isn't entirely different from how I felt about \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>, although less strongly, and although Peele isn't the credited writer or director of any of these episodes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110655\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 618px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-110655\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/114035_0969b-1.jpg\" alt='Tracy Morgan and Kumail Nanjiani in \"The Comedian.\"' width=\"618\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/114035_0969b-1.jpg 618w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/114035_0969b-1-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tracy Morgan and Kumail Nanjiani in \"The Comedian.\" \u003ccite>('The Twilight Zone'/CBS All Access)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the new \u003cem>Twilight Zone \u003c/em>is a little uneven, but so was the old one. It doesn't lack experimental energy or visual imagination; it just seems to be still developing its story voice. It benefits from the freedom to vary episode lengths, which is a feature of streaming services. Episodes can be as long as they need to be. There are more intriguing actors in the cast for the rest of the season: John Cho, Allison Tolman, DeWanda Wise, Chris O'Dowd. All the pieces are in place, and these four episodes demonstrate that the writers have plenty to say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

It was adapted into a film in 1983, then revived on television for brief runs in 1985 and 2002. Now, it returns on the CBS streaming service CBS All Access, hosted and executive produced by the man who may be America's most exciting filmmaker, Jordan Peele. He developed the new version alongside a team of executive producers including Simon Kinberg and Glen Morgan (Morgan was one of the primary writers behind \u003cem>The X-Files\u003c/em>). Peele, in his films \u003cem>Get Out \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>, has spent a lot of time thinking about one of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone\u003c/em>'s central questions, going back to original creator and host Rod Serling: \u003cem>What is the scariest thing you can imagine?\u003c/em>\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/NORi4YjsGI4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/NORi4YjsGI4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>It's true that Serling's show was always connected, both in text and in subtext, to events of the moment. The fear of nuclear annihilation was ever-present in characters who built shelters and feared missiles. Allegories connected to the civil rights movement and other efforts to escape systemic injustices were common. Space travel was everywhere, both as opportunity and threat. The human legacy of endless war hung over the world always. Not-fully-trusted technology, like robots and large airplanes, held dangers, while technology that felt as though it might arrive soon, like time travel, perhaps held even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The tell is in the the very first episode in 1959, called \"Where Is Everybody?\" In it, a soldier wakes up in a town where there are no people, only mannequins. In the end, it turns out that in reality, he is an astronaut inside an isolation booth being tested for his fitness to go to the moon alone, and that the empty town is a simulation inside his mind. His bosses are seeing how long it takes for him to go mad without companionship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the fear on which much of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone \u003c/em>is founded: fear of isolation. Fear that the community, the whole, will be lost even if the individual is saved.

Neighbors turn on neighbors, chaos ensues, and the neighborhood destroys itself. It turns out that this is precisely what the aliens who are invading expect: Frighten people and they will attack each other so fiercely that you won't have to attack them. Of course, this is a story about xenophobia, about nationalism—even about responding to terrorism. But it is also a story about how sudden insecurity makes selfishness surge, such that any sense of community is sacrificed. Bonds are broken. And that, ironically, makes the worst fears of the individual come true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some stories that don't actually involve real danger at all have a similar structure. In \"The Shelter,\" a man's neighbors are determined to break into his underground shelter under threat of alien attack. Not only do they ultimately smash their way in even as he insists that he has no room and no air, but as they bicker over which of them should be allowed in if they don't all fit, they reveal their vicious thoughts about each other. A man spews vile insults at his immigrant neighbor because it turns out his neighborliness ran only as deep as his sense of safety. When it turns out there is no attack, the neighbors realize that they have destroyed their community simply because they \u003cem>sensed \u003c/em>a danger. Again, individuals scramble to get to safety at the expense of the community, and they suffer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \"A Kind Of Stopwatch,\" a mysterious stranger gives a man a stopwatch that stops time. He initially plays around with it, making people freeze in place. But then he exploits it to steal, and during a bank robbery, while time is stopped and he is happily wheeling a cart of cash out the door, he drops the watch, and he cannot restart time. He has achieved his self-interest and has made himself rich, but he is faced with limitless isolation.

And without revealing too much about \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>, it also tells a story about how what looks functional and decent on the surface can be hiding a multitude of sins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris has some of that Wilson-on-the-plane sense that he is seeing things that other people perhaps can't, or wouldn't—that nobody would believe him about what's really happening. He even wonders if he's imagining it, much as Wilson does, given his recent hospitalization and fear of flying. One difference between Chris and Wilson, though, is that Chris' life has made him ready for it. Chris is ready to find himself in a situation that's not right, from the minute he agrees to visit the house of his white girlfriend's family. This skepticism about the community with power over him ultimately saves his life. Chris has his \u003cem>own \u003c/em>community, represented most vigorously by his friend Rod. But he is \u003cem>at risk\u003c/em> from, not \u003cem>protected by\u003c/em>, the common morality of the neighborhood where danger finds him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So seeing Peele as a driving force behind a new \u003cem>Twilight Zone \u003c/em>sets an expectation that while it will carry some of the original's lessons, it will carry new ones as well. He works very specifically in the thematic presence of white supremacy—and by extension in the understanding that whether the individual will be protected by, and enriched by, the presence of the whole depends on who the individual is. To operate as a positive force, the whole must be not only intact, but it must be moral. And indeed, the first four episodes that have been shared with critics, while they feel like they have varying levels of \"\u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em>-ness,\" demonstrate that this group of writers is interested in different base fears and different base flaws. It is deeply curious about what is moral.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110654\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-110654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-800x533.jpg\" alt='Adam Scott in \"Nightmare At 30,000 Feet.\"' width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/3YNNJWSTZUI6TDXT7PKBULHE2U.jpg 1484w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adam Scott in \"Nightmare At 30,000 Feet.\" \u003ccite>('The Twilight Zone'/CBS All Access)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The first two episodes released Monday are called \"Nightmare at 30,000 Feet\" and \"The Comedian.\" \"Nightmare\" is not quite a remake of the Shatner episode (which was already remade in the 1983 film with John Lithgow); it's more of a riff on it. The episode stars Adam Scott in a story that has some similar touchstones regarding perceived danger, group dynamics, and what happens when you're not believed. \"The Comedian,\" meanwhile, is the episode that feels the most, out of these four, like old \u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em>, despite the fact that it runs almost an hour and most \u003cem>Twilight Zone \u003c/em>episodes were a half-hour. It stars Kumail Nanjiani as a stand-up comedian who winds up in one of those odd, Serling-ish moments in which power proves to be awesome, in all the meanings of that word. (Disclosure: Nanjiani has been on \u003cem>Pop Culture Happy Hour\u003c/em>, and we know each other a bit.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two more episodes coming that critics have seen, and they are about base fears of very different kinds. One is very specifically timely; one is more generally so. But all four of these episodes are marked by strong central performances: Nanjiani and Scott, plus Sanaa Lathan in the third episode and Steven Yeun in the fourth. The story in Yeun's episode leaves a little to be desired—and the same is true in Scott's, even—but the imagery and the acting are spot-on. (Interestingly, this isn't entirely different from how I felt about \u003cem>Us\u003c/em>, although less strongly, and although Peele isn't the credited writer or director of any of these episodes.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_110655\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 618px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-110655\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/114035_0969b-1.jpg\" alt='Tracy Morgan and Kumail Nanjiani in \"The Comedian.\"' width=\"618\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/114035_0969b-1.jpg 618w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/04/114035_0969b-1-160x107.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tracy Morgan and Kumail Nanjiani in \"The Comedian.\" \u003ccite>('The Twilight Zone'/CBS All Access)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jonny Brugh and Ben Fransham played two other undead housemates, and the whole endeavor was driven by a commitment to spoofing both the documentary format (shaky camera, testimonials, the subjects' hyper-awareness of their status as documentary subjects) and the ropiest tropes of vampire lore (the vamps go clubbing, only to grow increasingly frustrated when bouncer after bouncer neglects to expressly invite them in).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAZEWtyhpes\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The central joke—the film's artisanal blend of the grotesque with the utterly, punishingly, unremittingly mundane—made for a tone that just \u003cem>worked\u003c/em>.

Remarkably, this isn't as ridiculous as it sounds. In episode two of \u003cem>The Walking Dead\u003c/em>, a close up of \u003ca href=\"https://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/10/24/did-the-walking-dead-cook-up-a-breaking-bad-reference/\">Merle's stash of drugs\u003c/a> reveals a bag containing blue meth.

Another crossover in \u003cem>Walking Dead\u003c/em>'s second episode comes in the form of Glenn's red and black Dodge Challenger—the exact model that Walter gave to Walt Jr. in \u003cem>Breaking Bad,\u003c/em> having bought it in (no, really) a place called \"Glenn's Car Lot.\" Finally, fans of both shows have suggested that in Season 4 when Fring walks away from Walter's explosion with half his face missing, he was the very first sign of the zombie apocalypse to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A few years ago, after 17 years of friendship, a man I adored and thought I knew very well was sentenced to three decades in prison for charges related to pedophilia.

Selfishly, I felt relieved that none of us would have to hear the minutiae of everything he’d done, but, reeling and in a state of shock, I decided to read the judge’s sentencing remarks online. I thought they might provide some catharsis. Instead, even the cursory details wound up making me physically sick. The vomiting went on for days until my parents finally summoned me home. I don’t recall any other point in my adult life where I needed to be next to my mother so badly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13893843]In the days and weeks that followed, there were long phone conversations with friends, as everyone tried to process the hows and the whens and the whys. At one point, my sister, in another country and not privy to the same news coverage, called me, convinced that he had been set up and somehow tricked into pleading guilty. “What must they have done to him?” she asked, audibly distressed. It was a testament to how good he had been at pretending to be someone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a while, you have to stop talking about it. The need to move on becomes palpable. You don’t want to keep loudly dissecting the details in case it prevents other people from healing. So about a month in, still unable to reconcile the person I knew with the person in prison, and tired of going around in mental circles, I made the decision to tell myself he was dead. Doing so allowed me to mourn the friend I had lost—the person I thought he was, the inside jokes we shared, the teenage history—and put the whole thing behind me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Except it’s not really that easy. I was never actually convinced that the root cause of his criminality was a sexual attraction to children. He did not fit the \u003ca href=\"https://www.thoughtco.com/profile-of-pedophile-and-common-characteristics-973203\">classic profile\u003c/a> of a pedophile at all. He was outgoing with other adults, had a lot of friends and a steady stream of age-appropriate girlfriends, and was fiercely protective of his nieces and nephews. Compounding matters was the fact that it was a high-profile case; now and again, new stories about him would emerge. One summer, at a wedding, a stranger made a joke about him, unaware that I had known him. To this day, when people find out where I’m from, some of them ask if I ever met him in a manner that suggests he’s halfway to becoming an urban myth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The longer I tried to ignore it, the more my need to figure out why he did what he did increased. So I started researching in earnest. Books about psychopathy and psychology and mental illness. Checklists of various personality disorders to see which one made the most sense. I read papers written by criminal psychologists and, at one point, even consulted with one directly because she’d had a lot of experience treating pedophiles. There were breadcrumbs and clues, but a clear answer evaded me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then a colleague gave me a gift: \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stranger_Beside_Me\">\u003cem>The Stranger Beside Me\u003c/em>\u003c/a> by Ann Rule. Not only had Rule been good friends with Ted Bundy, she’d also been working in the police department during the manhunt to find him, so she wrote about it all in agonizing detail. Rule’s predicament was comfortingly familiar, and the way she described Bundy sounded a lot like my friend—charming, handsome, intelligent, vain, never lacking in female attention. The book was far and away the most helpful thing I had read so far. So I kept going.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I chose \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Somebodys-Husband-Son-Yorkshire-Ripper/dp/0571222838\">\u003cem>Somebody’s Husband, Somebody’s Son: The Story of the Yorkshire Ripper\u003c/em>\u003c/a> by Gordon Burn, because it focused not only on Peter Sutcliffe’s crimes but the relationships he had maintained with his family and friends too. Those closest to Sutcliffe suspected nothing at all, even as he murdered 13 women, right under their noses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After that came \u003ca href=\"https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/103/1031837/killing-for-company/9781784759421.html\">\u003cem>Killing For Company\u003c/em>\u003c/a> about Dennis Nilsen, a mild-mannered civil servant who murdered, dissected and disposed of at least 12 men while living in the heart of London. I had a hard time putting Brian Masters’ book down and plowed through it in a matter of days. One of the final chapters offered me a real turning point. In it, Masters breaks down, in great detail, the personality traits of serial killers—and my friend had almost all of them, down to bizarrely specific details. I stayed up all night with a highlighter. Later on, someone quietly confessed that he believed our friend would have “definitely” killed someone if he hadn’t been caught when he was. When I agreed and told him about the details in \u003cem>Killing For Company\u003c/em>, he looked relieved that someone else shared this theory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent months, I have had three separate people ask me why the media I consume is so dark in subject matter. It didn’t use to be. Now, every other book I read is about serial killers (my current choice is \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Fatal-Vision-True-Crime-Classic/dp/0451417941\">\u003cem>Fatal Vision\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, about Dr. Jeffrey McDonald who was imprisoned in 1979 for slaughtering his wife and children). When I watch TV and movies, I am mostly focused on true crime documentaries or dramatizations. (Lifetime’s \u003ci>\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_in_My_Family\">Monster in My Family\u003c/a>\u003c/i> is a current favorite, thanks to the series’ process of putting the families of criminals in the same room as those of victims, allowing connections to take place). When I run out of episodes to stream, I find myself listening to the \u003ca href=\"https://casefilepodcast.com/\">Casefile\u003c/a> podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid=arts_13939170]The only time I have any objection to consuming true crime \u003cem>anything\u003c/em> these days is when \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/pop/97139/is-americas-obsession-with-true-crime-re-writing-history\">lines of decency get crossed\u003c/a>. Allowing extended interviews with killers to air, for example—as \u003ca href=\"https://www.netflix.com/title/80226612\">\u003cem>The Ted Bundy Tapes\u003c/em>\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-menendez-murders\">\u003cem>The Menendez Murders: Erik Tells All\u003c/em>\u003c/a> recently did—is, to me, both an affront to victims and a reward to killers. I don’t want to hear anything those men have to say, any more than I want to read OJ Simpson’s universally despised book \u003cem>If I Did It\u003c/em>. Those narcissists don’t deserve the privilege to speak anymore, nor have they earned it. I know my old friend would jump at the chance to have something similar made about him, and I would aggressively object should the occasion arise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, true crime has provided me with answers I simply couldn’t find elsewhere. (I now believe \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissistic_personality_disorder\">narcissistic personality disorder\u003c/a> played a major role in this case.) It has allowed me to make sense of how none of his friends had even the slightest inkling he was harming children. (Turns out, almost no one ever does in these situations.) And it has taken my chaotic, swirling thoughts and replaced them with a degree of calm and clarity I once presumed unachievable. My monster is no longer lurking in the corner. I’ve locked him in a vault, right there with everyone else’s. Now, finally, I can let him go once and for all.\u003c/p>\n\n",

When I run out of episodes to stream, I find myself listening to the \u003ca href=\"https://casefilepodcast.com/\">Casefile\u003c/a> podcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

According to the \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em>, in 2016, the US women’s national team brought in a profit of $6.6 million, while the men's team managed only $2 million. What's more, between 2012 and 2016, the women played significantly more games (sometimes as much as 50 percent more) and earned twice as many wins as their male counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if you ignore the boom in popularity of women's soccer in the last few years, it's impossible to fathom why male players are paid $75 a day for expenses, while female players receive only $60, or why male players make $3,750 for sponsored appearances, while the female players receive $3,000. At its core, this lawsuit has the potential to be as important for the future of women's soccer as \u003ca href=\"https://www.billiejeanking.com/equality/\">Billie Jean King's legendary fight for equal prize money in tennis\u003c/a> was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1gCNUgpl2Q\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the lawsuit is successful though, there is still a major stumbling block standing in the way of female athletic progress: sports media.

"content": "\u003cp>R&B star R. Kelly has given his first interview since being charged with aggravated criminal sexual assault late last month. The conversation, which journalist Gayle King taped Tuesday at Kelly's apartment at the Trump Tower Chicago, began airing on Wednesday in three segments on \u003cem>CBS This Morning\u003c/em>. The network says it will air more from the interview on Thursday and Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly was charged in Cook County, Ill., in February on 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual assault against four alleged victims, three of them minors. As he has throughout his career, Kelly denied all the allegations against him during the interview. By turns belligerent, tearful and relatively calm, he also asserted that the women who have accused him are chasing money and fame of their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most striking element of the interview was Kelly's behavior. In narrated commentary, King said the singer became outwardly emotional several times. At one point, he stood towering \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BupaXcgjHB_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\">over a calm King\u003c/a>, literally shrieking, crying, pounding his fists and beating his chest on camera while a handler held him back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was an astonishing visual, especially given the decades-long list of public accusations from women who say Kelly abused them—and considering that the interview may well be used in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Y'all trying to kill me!\" he screamed. \"You're killing me, man! This thing's not about music. I'm trying to have a relationship with my kids, and I can't do it. Y'all just don't want to believe the truth!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1AWWOxBE-8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among Kelly's past accusers is his \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/10/09/655803259/r-kellys-ex-wife-accuses-him-of-physical-abuse\">ex-wife, Andrea Kelly\u003c/a>, who alleged physical abuse in a 2018 interview. Last month, multiple press outlets reported that according to court documents, Kelly owes \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/24/entertainment/r-kelly-bond-sunday/index.html\">more than $160,000\u003c/a> in unpaid child support from that relationship. In January, Kelly's estranged daughter, Buku Abi (whose birth name is Joann Kelly), posted a lengthy note on Instagram in which she called her father a \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/11/683936629/r-kelly-allegations-an-abridged-history\">monster\u003c/a>\" and wrote: \"My mother, siblings, and I would never condone, support or be apart [\u003cem>sic\u003c/em>] of ANYTHING negative he has done and or continues to do in his life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the course of speaking with King, Kelly made a startling new accusation. King broached the subject of two women who are currently living with him, 23-year-old Joycelyn Savage and 21-year-old Azriel Clary; the women's parents have claimed that their daughters are being held in an R. Kelly \"cult,\" an allegation first made public in a 2017 BuzzFeed investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the CBS interview on Wednesday, Kelly asked: \"What kind of father, what kind of mother, will sell their daughter to a man?\" He alleged that the two women's parents had approached Kelly when their daughters were teenagers, with hopes that Kelly would make their children into stars. He also intimated that the parents had received some kind of compensation from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both women's parents responded to Kelly's comments on Wednesday morning. Through their lawyer, Michael Avenatti, the Clarys \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MichaelAvenatti/status/1103286370183766016\">stated\u003c/a>: \"We never received a penny from R. Kelly. We have never asked R. Kelly for money. And we never 'sold' our daughter to him or anyone else. R. Kelly is a desperate liar and serial abuser of young girls who should die in prison.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyer for the Savages, Gerald Griggs, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AttorneyGriggs/status/1103273630107078658\">wrote\u003c/a> on Twitter: \"At no point did the Savages sell #JoycelynSavage to @rkelly. No money was ever requested or given to the Savages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBS says Gayle King also spoke directly to both Savage and Clary and will air conversations with them on Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

Last month, multiple press outlets reported that according to court documents, Kelly owes \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/24/entertainment/r-kelly-bond-sunday/index.html\">more than $160,000\u003c/a> in unpaid child support from that relationship. In January, Kelly's estranged daughter, Buku Abi (whose birth name is Joann Kelly), posted a lengthy note on Instagram in which she called her father a \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/01/11/683936629/r-kelly-allegations-an-abridged-history\">monster\u003c/a>\" and wrote: \"My mother, siblings, and I would never condone, support or be apart [\u003cem>sic\u003c/em>] of ANYTHING negative he has done and or continues to do in his life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the course of speaking with King, Kelly made a startling new accusation. King broached the subject of two women who are currently living with him, 23-year-old Joycelyn Savage and 21-year-old Azriel Clary; the women's parents have claimed that their daughters are being held in an R. Kelly \"cult,\" an allegation first made public in a 2017 BuzzFeed investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the CBS interview on Wednesday, Kelly asked: \"What kind of father, what kind of mother, will sell their daughter to a man?\" He alleged that the two women's parents had approached Kelly when their daughters were teenagers, with hopes that Kelly would make their children into stars. He also intimated that the parents had received some kind of compensation from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both women's parents responded to Kelly's comments on Wednesday morning. Through their lawyer, Michael Avenatti, the Clarys \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/MichaelAvenatti/status/1103286370183766016\">stated\u003c/a>: \"We never received a penny from R. Kelly. We have never asked R. Kelly for money. And we never 'sold' our daughter to him or anyone else. R. Kelly is a desperate liar and serial abuser of young girls who should die in prison.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawyer for the Savages, Gerald Griggs, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AttorneyGriggs/status/1103273630107078658\">wrote\u003c/a> on Twitter: \"At no point did the Savages sell #JoycelynSavage to @rkelly. No money was ever requested or given to the Savages.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CBS says Gayle King also spoke directly to both Savage and Clary and will air conversations with them on Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.
