In honor of the Oscars, how politics are showing up in Tinseltown
We’ve heard buzz about the Oscars for months – the drama, the snubs, the countless interviews. Pretty soon we’ll finally get to watch it all unfold.
But before we do, join us this hour as we explore how today’s most popular TV shows and movies reflect our political landscape.
We’ll dive into how the horror genre has drawn inspiration from the world around us and how comedians are wrestling with ways to bring levity to real-life horrors.
- Jeffrey Dudas: Professor of Political Science, University of Connecticut
- Eric Deggans: TV critic, NPR
