We spoke to Kirke about the new project, and how she could never get into Shakespeare in her younger days.

Thomas Golubić, a music supervisor for series like Better Call Saul and Halt And Catch Fire who describes his job as “byzantine,” might be up for an Emmy this year. When nominations are announced on July 13, they will include the debut of a category dedicated to the people who help put songs in shows.

In the 1961 movie Splendor In The Grass, young Deenie, memorably portrayed by Natalie Wood, has a nervous breakdown brought on by sexual desire for her boyfriend, Bud (Warren Beatty), who insists that she remain a “good girl.” One of the first indicators of Deenie’s break is when she attacks her head with a pair of…

Robyn has a new song, but there’s a catch: If you want to preview it, you’re going to also have to listen to Girls dialogue. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but just be warned you’re not getting pure, unadulterated Robyn. The Swedish pop star’s “Honey”—a swelling track—debuted over the closing credits of Sunday’s…

“Full Disclosure” is one of the oddest, lumpiest half-hours Girls has ever turned out, an episode equally comprising the show’s most and least appealing elements. It’s an episode that could only exist within the final season, when it’s acceptable for a show this character-driven to suddenly make big plot moves to get…
