Sharp Objects on HBO, created by Marti Noxon and directed by Jean-Marc Vallée, based on the novel by Gillian Flynn, and starring Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson. An eight-episode prestige drama (and Vallée’s follow-up to Big Little Lies), Sharp Objects tells the story of journalist Camille Preaker (Adams), who goes back to her hometown of Wind Gap, Missouri, to investigate the murders of two young girls.

Sorry to Bother You (36:00), written and directed by Boots Riley and starring Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Steven Yeun, and Armie Hammer. A hit at Sundance, Riley’s debut feature centers around Cassius “Cash” Green (Stanfield), a down-on-his-luck black telemarketer, who by donning an absurd white voice rises through the ranks to handle the accounts of a corporation owned by tech bro titan Steve Lift (Hammer).

Dietland on AMC, created by Marti Noxon, based on the novel by Sarai Walker, and starring Joy Nash and Julianna Margulies. This show is a dark satire about dealing with the beauty industrial complex during the #MeToo era. We discuss Nash’s central performance as Alicia “Plum” Kettle (the show’s plus-size protagonist, who ghost-writes an advice column for her Miranda-Priestly-type boss played by Margulies); the complicated plot lines involving several supporting characters and multiple feminist groups vying for Plum’s attention or allegiance; and the show’s debts/homages t...2018-07-0200 minScreen Stuff Podcast#95: POSEPose, with briefer takes on Solo: A Star Wars Story, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Incredibles 2, and MoviePass (user experience, plus upcoming changes and competition for the service).

The Letdown on Netflix, created by Sarah Scheller and Alison Bell (originally for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and starring the latter as Audrey, a woman facing the challenges of being a new mom. A dark-ish half-hour comedy about the pressures of modern-day motherhood (and fatherhood), this new show tackles some topics rarely covered on small or big screens anywhere (though Jason Reitman’s Tully recently came out too).

Hulu’s The Looming Tower, based on the 2006 nonfiction book of the same title by Lawrence Wright., stars Jeff Daniels, Tahar Rahim, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Peter Sarsgaard. This ten-episode drama explores the failures in the U.S. intelligence community (most of them having to do with the rivalry and differences in strategies between the FBI and CIA) in the years leading up to 9/11.

TNT’s The Alienist, a crime drama based on the 1994 novel by Caleb Carr, stars Daniel Brühl, Luke Evans, and Dakota Fanning. This ten-episode thriller (which has nothing to do with space aliens and much to do with the early days of criminal psychology and forensics) follows three protagonists who are chasing a serial killer in late nineteenth-century New York City.
