Pop Culture: 'Joker' Has The Last Laugh, iTunes Is i-History And Beyoncé's Trademark Battle
The controversial blockbuster film "Joker" has the last laugh, smashing box office records despite deeply split reviews. Tyler Perry outdoes Hollywood on his own terms. iTunes is now i-history. And why are superstar singer Beyonce and a New England event planning company locked in a trademark battle? It's our Pop Culture Round Table.
Guests:
Rachel Rubin - Professor of American studies at the University of Massachusetts, Boston.
Michael Jeffries - Associate professor of American studies at Wellesley College.
Later in the show…
Ethics, faith and strength are the pillars on which the fictional Charles R. Drew Prep School For Boys builds its reputation — and the young black men it cultivates. Talented singer Pharus Young finally has his chance to lead the school’s legendary gospel choir, but not all of his classmates see him as the appropriate choice. That’s the premise of "Choir Boy," a heartfelt new play from "Moonlight"* *screenwriter Tarell Alvin McCraney.
"Choir Boy" is playing* *at the SpeakEasy Stage Company Calderwood Pavilion through October 19.
Guests:
Yewande Odetoyinbo - Boston-based actor, dancer and co-choreographer for "Choir Boy."
Ruka White - Assistant professor of dance at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and co-choreographer of "Choir Boy."
