About The Episode
On this edition of The Culture Show, Jared Bowen, Callie Crossley, and Cristina Quinn go over the week’s top arts and culture headlines, which include:
ABC pulled a completed season of “The Bachelorette” just days before premiere after a leaked video showed star Taylor Frankie Paul assaulting her partner, collapsing what was meant to be a franchise reset. BTS returns with its first full-group album in years, already topping 4 million pre-orders in its first week. Jay-Z heads back to the stage for two Yankee Stadium shows, built around “Reasonable Doubt” and “The Blueprint “— the albums that defined his rise. John Galliano’s collaboration with Zara brings couture sensibility to mass-market retail, blurring the line between luxury and fast fashion.
In “As Deep as the Grave,” Val Kilmer is digitally recreated through AI for a posthumous screen performance, with his estate’s support.
