Those of us who cover entertainment for a living really only get asked two questions anymore — in meetings and at dinner parties, in texts from friends and on the phone with Mom: “Have you seen ____?” and “What should I watch?”
Screen Gab is our attempt to answer those questions — and plenty more. We know there’s more content on more platforms vying for your attention than ever, and we want to be your one-stop guide to the pop culture everyone’s talking about, or should be.
Wondering what the heck is going on in the MCU? Need to unpack that big twist in your favorite crime drama? Craving a look behind the scenes at Netflix’s new hit? Trying to make sense of the latest reality TV controversy? Then Screen Gab is for you.
Every Friday, we’ll bring you recommendations for the TV and streaming movies you can’t miss; expert analysis of the biggest news and trends in home viewing; exclusive interviews with the talent behind your favorite titles; and irreverent conversation about the shows, movies and moments we’re obsessing over. Think of it as a group chat with the biggest TV fiends and film buffs at The Times.
