It’s one of the most horrible weeks in recent memory, and we return to a nation engulfed in carnage, both human and animal. We shut down Tales from the Grift, starring former Trump fixer and aspiring sex symbol Michael Cohen; explore how the Academy has taken everything bad about the Oscars and made it worse; discuss a Swedish movie shown inside a sarcophagus; and participate in a dramatic reading of text-message correspondence between our finest living artists, Azealia Banks and Grimes. Also: a “dark web” themed fashion show featuring zebras and giraffes raises eyebrows at Paris couture week; an Upper East Side restaurant called Nello shames a businesswoman for eating alone at the bar; and a marauding British family terrorizes New Zealand.
