The A.V. Club has a smattering of local sites, and every day, writers in these locales are posting about music, films, and other events and news happening in their cities. Whether you live in one of these cities or elsewhere, there’s plenty of great local stuff that’s worth a look. Here’s a round-up of what caught our attention this week.
• Milwaukee pondered the potential impact and the necessity (or perhaps lack thereof) of an upcoming film on Jeffrey Dahmer.
• Denver sat down with rapper Busdriver about his unusual samples, emo rap, and why he’s an idiot.
• Madison was thrilled to see last year’s Wisconsin protests make an appearance in the controversial Clint Eastwood-narrated Chrysler Super Bowl commercial (before they were edited out, anyway).
• In the throes of the post-Super Bowl blues, Indianapolis looked back on Jimmy Fallon’s visit and their subsequent crush on the late-night host.
• The Twin Cities chatted with songwriter Martin Zellar whose song “Zamboni” may be familiar—for better or worse—to hockey fans everywhere.
• Chicago reflected on the recent rise of expensive restaurants and what, exactly, is driving the city’s not-so-rich foodie population to feast as these not-so-affordable eateries.
• Toronto talked with James Quandt of the TIFF Cinematheque about his new Robert Bresson retrospective.
